Die Erfindung betrifft eine Packung für eine aus zwei Reihen mit insbesondere je fünf Zigarettenpackungen bestehende Gruppe mit einer Umhüllung aus einem einstückigen Zuschnitt zur Bildung einer großflächigen Vorderwand, einer großflächigen Rückwand, einer Bodenwand, einer Oberwand und schmaler Stirnwände, wobei die als Rundkantenpackungen mit runden aufrechten Längskanten oder als Achteckpackungen mit abgeschrägten aufrechten Längskanten ausgebildeten Zigarettenpackungen innerhalb einer Reihe mit aufrechten Schmalseiten aneinander und randseitige Schmalseiten der Zigarettenpackungen jeder Reihe an den Stirnwänden anliegen.The invention relates to a pack for a group consisting of two rows with in particular five cigarette packs with an envelope of a one-piece blank to form a large front wall, a large-scale rear wall, a bottom wall, a top wall and narrow end walls, which as round edge packages with round upright Long edges or as octagonal packs with bevelled upright longitudinal edges trained cigarette packs within a row with upright narrow sides to each other and marginal narrow sides of the cigarette packs of each row abut the end walls.

Gebindepackungen für Zigaretten sind in unterschiedlichen Ausführungen bekannt. Bei der Standardausführung dieses Packungstyps ( US-A-5 460 321 ) sind alle Packungskanten im Querschnitt rechtwinklig ausgebildet. Ein Zuschnitt für diesen Packungstyp weist Faltlappen unterschiedlicher geometrischer Form für die Stirnwände auf, wobei mit einer Bodenwand verbundene Bodenlappen abgerundet und so bemessen sind, dass eine Überdeckung mit benachbarten Faltlappen der Stirnwände nicht gegeben ist.Bundle packs for cigarettes are known in different versions. In the standard version of this packing type ( US-A-5,460,321 ) All packing edges are formed at right angles in cross section. A blank for this type of packing has folding tabs of different geometrical shape for the end walls, wherein rounded bottom tabs are rounded with a bottom wall and dimensioned so that an overlap with adjacent flaps of the end walls is not given.

Weiterhin sind Gebindepackungen bekannt mit Längskanten, die abgeschrägt sind ( EP-A-0 769 457 ). Bei ebenfalls bekannten Gebindepackungen sind die Längskanten abgeschrägt oder abgerundet ausgebildet ( EP-A-0 891 931 ).Furthermore, bundle packs are known with longitudinal edges that are bevelled ( EP-A-0 769 457 ). In known bundle packings, the longitudinal edges are beveled or rounded ( EP-A-0 891 931 ).

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Packung für insbesondere Zigaretten, nämlich eine Gebindepackung, vorzuschlagen, die in ihrer Form an die Form der Zigarettenpackungen mit Rundkanten angepasst ist und die aufgrund konstruktiver Gestaltung maschinell gefertigt werden kann.The object of the invention is to propose a pack for, in particular, cigarettes, namely a bundle of packs which, in their shape, conform to the shape of the cigarette packs is adapted with round edges and which can be machined due to constructive design.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist die erfindungsgemäße Packung durch folgende Merkmale gekennzeichnet:

  1. a) zwischen Vorderwand bzw. Rückwand einerseits und den angrenzenden Stirnwänden andererseits verlaufende Packungskanten sind als Rundkanten oder als Schrägkanten ausgebildet unter Anpassung an die Rundkanten oder Schrägkanten der Zigarettenpackungen,
  2. b) äußere, freiliegende Rundkanten oder Schrägkanten von Zigarettenpackungen an den Enden der Reihen liegen innen an den Rundkanten oder an den Schrägkanten an.
  3. c) an der Bodenwand sind einander gegenüberliegend Bodenlappen) angeordnet, die entlang einer quer gerichteten Faltlinie in die Ebene der Stirnwand gefaltet sind,
  4. d) die Länge der Faltlinie und entsprechend die Breite der Bodenlappen ist geringer als die Breite der Bodenwand,
  5. e) an die Faltlinie schließen außerhalb des Bereichs der Bodenlappen jeweils beidseitig gerundete Ränder oder abgeschrägte Ränder als Begrenzung der Bodenwand an, wobei der Radius der gerundeten Ränder dem Radius der Rundkanten der Breite der Schrägkanten entspricht.
To solve this problem, the package according to the invention is characterized by the following features:
  1. a) between the front wall or rear wall on the one hand and the adjacent end walls on the other hand extending packing edges are formed as round edges or as beveled edges adapted to the round edges or beveled edges of the cigarette packs,
  2. b) outer, exposed round edges or bevelled edges of cigarette packs at the ends of the rows lie on the inside at the round edges or at the beveled edges.
  3. c) floor flaps lying opposite one another are arranged on the bottom wall, which are folded along a transversely directed fold line into the plane of the end wall,
  4. d) the length of the fold line and correspondingly the width of the bottom flaps is less than the width of the bottom wall,
  5. e) to the fold line outside of the area of the bottom tabs on both sides rounded edges or bevelled edges as a boundary of the bottom wall, wherein the radius of the rounded edges corresponds to the radius of the round edges of the width of the bevelled edges.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Gebindepackung werden demnach Zigarettenpackungen des Typs "Rundkantenpackung" oder des Typs "Achteckpackung" innerhalb des Gebindes positioniert, wobei ausgewählte Packungskanten ebenfalls gerundet oder abgeschrägt sind und randseitige Zigarettenpackungen mit ihren Rundkanten oder mit ihren Schrägkanten an den entsprechend positionierten Rundkanten oder Schrägkanten der Gebindepackung anliegen. Weiterhin ist diese so ausgebildet, dass Faltlappen zur Bildung der Stirnwände zwängungsfrei gefaltet werden können.In the bundle pack according to the invention therefore cigarette packs of the type "round edge pack" or the type "octagon pack" are positioned within the container, with selected pack edges are also rounded or beveled and edge cigarette packs with their round edges or with their bevels on the correspondingly positioned round edges or bevels of the bundle pack issue. Furthermore, this is designed so that folding flaps can be folded without constraint to form the end walls.

Eine Packung 100 weist eine aus einem Zuschnitt 101 gebildete Umhüllung aus dünnem Karton oder steifem Papier auf. Tatsächlich kann jedes faltbare Material verwendet werden. Im Inneren der Packung ist eine Gruppe von Zigarettenpackungen angeordnet. Es handelt sich um Zigarettenpackungen nach Art der sogenannten Rundkantenpackungen, jeweils mit einem Klappdeckel, der an einer Rückwand der jeweiligen Zigarettenpackung angelenkt ist.A package 100 has an envelope of thin cardboard or stiff paper formed from a blank 101. In fact, any foldable material can be used. Inside the pack is a group of cigarette packs arranged. These are cigarette packs in the manner of the so-called round edge packs, each with a hinged lid, which is hinged to a rear wall of the respective cigarette pack.

Im Zuschnitt 101 sind eine großflächige breite Vorderwand 102 und eine ebenso große Rückwand 103 durch eine lange und schmale Bodenwand 104 miteinander verbunden. Der Bodenwand 104 gegenüberliegend schließt an die Rückwand 103 ein großer Decklappen 105 und an die Vorderwand 102 ein kleiner Decklappen 106 an.In the blank 101, a large-scale wide front wall 102 and an equally large rear wall 103 are connected to each other by a long and narrow bottom wall 104. The bottom wall 104 opposite to the rear wall 103 includes a large cover flap 105 and the front wall 102, a small cover tab 106 at.

Bodenwand 104 und großer Decklappen 105 weisen jeweils eine Form entsprechend der äußeren Kontur der Packung auf und erstrecken sich somit jeweils über die volle Fläche. Der kleine Decklappen 106 erstreckt sich demgegenüber nicht über die volle Breite einer Oberwand 107 der Packung, sondern nur etwa über die halbe Breite. In der geschlossenen Packung 100 kommt der kleine Decklappen 106 unter dem großen Decklappen 105 zu liegen und ist insbesondere mit diesem verklebt. Daneben ist der kleine Decklappen 106 trapezförmig ausgebildet mit in Richtung zu seinem freien Rand 108 abnehmender Länge.Bottom wall 104 and large cover tabs 105 each have a shape corresponding to the outer contour of the package and thus each extend over the entire surface. In contrast, the small cover flap 106 does not extend over the full width of a top wall 107 of the pack, but only approximately over half the width. In the closed package 100, the small cover flap 106 comes to lie under the large cover flap 105 and is in particular glued to it. Next to it is the small cover flap 106 trapezoidal shaped with decreasing toward its free edge 108 length.

Zur Bildung der Stirnwände schließen an die große Rückwand 103 beidseitig Stirnlappen 109, 110 an. Analog dazu ist die große Vorderwand 102 beidseitig mit Verbindungsstreifen 111, 112 und die Bodenwand 104 mit Bodenlappen 113, 114 versehen. Zur Bildung der Stirnwände 115, 116 werden - nach dem Aufrichten der Vorderwand 102 und Rückwand 103 relativ zur Bodenwand 104-Verbindungsstreifen 111, 112 und Bodenlappen 113, 114 in eine gemeinsame Ebene gefaltet und dann darauf die Stirnlappen 109, 110 umgelegt bzw. gefaltet. Verbindungsstreifen 111, 112 und Bodenlappen 113, 114 sind so gestaltet, daß sie in der selben Ebene liegen können ohne einander zu überschneiden. Hierzu sind die Verbindungsstreifen im wesentlichen trapezförmig ausgebildet, zumindest mit einer den Bodenlappen benachbarten Schrägkante 117. Analog dazu weisen die Bodenlappen 113, 114 jeweils eine schräge Gegenkante 118 auf. Am ausgebreiteten Zuschnitt 101 liegt zwischen den Kanten 117, 118 ein Winkel von mindestens 90° oder mehr.To form the end walls close to the large rear wall 103 on both sides end lobes 109, 110 at. Similarly, the large front wall 102 is provided on both sides with connecting strips 111, 112 and the bottom wall 104 with bottom tabs 113, 114. To form the end walls 115, 116 are - after erecting the front wall 102 and rear wall 103 relative to the bottom wall 104 connecting strips 111, 112 and bottom flaps 113, 114 folded in a common plane and then folded over the end flaps 109, 110 or folded. Connecting strips 111, 112 and bottom flaps 113, 114 are designed so that they can lie in the same plane without overlapping each other. For this purpose, the connecting strips are substantially trapezoidal in shape, at least with a sloping edge 117 adjacent to the bottom tab. Analogously, the bottom tabs 113, 114 each have an oblique counter edge 118. At the spread blank 101 is between the edges 117, 118 an angle of at least 90 ° or more.

Im Bereich der Übergänge zwischen den großen Wandungen (Vorderwand 102, Rückwand 103) und den angrenzenden Stirnlappen 109, 110 sowie Verbindungsstreifen 111, 112 sind sogenannte Rundkanten 119, 120 vorgesehen. Deren Radius ist etwas größer als der Radius der Rundkanten an den als Inhalt vorgesehenen Zigarettenpackungen. Bodenwand 104 und Decklappen 105 sind mit Rundungen entsprechend dem Radius der Rundkanten 119, 120 versehen.In the region of the transitions between the large walls (front wall 102, rear wall 103) and the adjacent end flaps 109, 110 and connecting strips 111, 112 so-called round edges 119, 120 are provided. Their radius is slightly larger than the radius of the round edges on the contents of the cigarette packs. Bottom wall 104 and cover flap 105 are provided with curves corresponding to the radius of the round edges 119, 120.

Die Bodenlappen 113, 114 sind in besonderer Weise gestaltet und an der Bodenwand 104 angeordnet, siehe Fig. 2. Die Bodenwand 104 schließt seitlich mit geraden Randstücken 121, 122 ab, an die jeweils beidseitig gerundete Ränder 121 anschließen. Deren Radius entspricht dem Radius der Rundkanten 119, 120.The bottom flaps 113, 114 are designed in a special way and arranged on the bottom wall 104, see Fig. 2 , The bottom wall 104 terminates laterally with straight edge pieces 121, 122, to which edges 121 are rounded on both sides. Their radius corresponds to the radius of the round edges 119, 120.

Die Bodenlappen 113, 114 sind etwas schmaler als die Abmessungen a der geraden Randstücke 121, 122. Zwischen den Bodenlappen 113, 114 und den gerundeten Rändern 121 liegen jeweils kurze gerade Randzwischenstücke 123, 124 mit den Abmessungen b, so dass beispielsweise der Bodenlappen 114 eine Abmessung c = a - 2b in Richtung auf die Breite der Stirnwand 115 aufweist. Die Anordnung der Randzwischenstücke 123, 124 erleichtert die Herstellung der Packung in diesem Bereich. Eine Überlappung von Verbindungsstreifen 111, 112 und Bodenlappen 113, 114 wird dadurch ausgeschlossen. Dabei können die Verbindungsstreifen 111, 112 im Bereich des Übergangs zu den Rundkanten 120 ohne Konkaven, d. h. nur mit konvexem Umriss, ausgestanzt werden.The bottom flaps 113, 114 are slightly narrower than the dimensions a of the straight edge pieces 121, 122. Between the bottom flaps 113, 114 and the rounded edges 121 are each short straight edge spacers 123, 124 of dimensions b, so that, for example, the bottom flaps 114 a Dimension c = a - 2b in the direction of the width of the end wall 115 has. The arrangement of the edge spacers 123, 124 facilitates the manufacture of the package in this area. An overlap of connecting strips 111, 112 and bottom flaps 113, 114 is thereby excluded. In this case, the connecting strips 111, 112 in the region of the transition to the round edges 120 without concaves, ie only with a convex outline punched out.

Fig. 6 zeigt die Relativanordnung von Bodenlappen 113 und Verbindungsstreifen 111 in der fertigen Packung 100. Deutlich erkennbar ist ein Spalt 125 zwischen Schrägkante 117 und Gegenkante 118. Der Spalt entspricht etwa einer Projektion der Abmessung des Randzwischenstücks 123 parallel zu den Kanten 117, 118. Ebenfalls gut sichtbar ist die verringerte Breite des Bodenlappens 113 gegenüber der Breite der Stirnwand, auch abzüglich der Rundkanten 119, 120. Schließlich ist die Trapezform des Verbindungsstreifens 111 gut erkennbar. Eine in der fertigen Packung 100 knapp unterhalb der Oberwand 107 zu liegen kommende freie Kante 126 des Verbindungsstreifens 111 ist unter einem etwas geringerem Winkel als die Schrägkante 117 schräggerichtet. Fig. 6 clearly shows a gap 125 between the bevel 117 and the counter edge 118. The gap corresponds approximately to a projection of the dimension of the edge spacer 123 parallel to the edges 117, 118. Also clearly visible is the reduced width of the bottom flap 113 relative to the width of the end wall, also less the round edges 119, 120. Finally, the trapezoidal shape of the connecting strip 111 is clearly visible. A lying in the finished package 100 just below the top wall 107 coming free edge 126 of the connecting strip 111 is inclined at a slightly smaller angle than the inclined edge 117.

In dem Horizontalschnitt der Fig. 5 ist die Relativanordnung der Lappen 110, 114, 112 gut ersichtlich. Bodenlappen 114 und Verbindungsstreifen 112 liegen innen in der selben Ebene und sind mit dem äußeren Stirnlappen 110 verklebt. Dieser erstreckt sich über fast die volle Breite der Stirnwand 115, jedoch nicht über die Rundkante 120 hinweg. Es besteht nur eine Überlappung mit dem Verbindungsstreifen 112.In the horizontal section of the Fig. 5 is the relative arrangement of the flaps 110, 114, 112 clearly visible. Bottom flaps 114 and connecting strips 112 lie inside in the same plane and are glued to the outer end flap 110. This extends over almost the full width of the end wall 115, but not over the circular edge 120 away. There is only one overlap with the connection strip 112.

Der kleine Decklappen 106 erstreckt sich ausschließlich außerhalb der Rundkanten 120 und somit nicht über die volle Länge der Packung.The small cover flap 106 extends only outside the circular edges 120 and thus not over the full length of the package.

Die anhand der Fig. 1 bis 6 beschriebene "Rundkanten"-Zigarettenstange kann auch als "Achteck"-Zigarettenstange ausgeführt sein. Anstelle der Rundkanten 119, 120 sind dann zwei durch einen schmalen Streifen getrennte 45°-Faltungen vorhanden. Die in Fig. 2 gezeigten gerundeten Ränder 121 müssen ersetzt werden durch schräggerichtete (gerade) Ränder zwischen zwei 45°-Winkeln. Analog gilt dies für die Gestaltung des Decklappens 105.The basis of the Fig. 1 to 6 described "round edge" cigarette rod can also be designed as an "octagon" cigarette rod. Instead of the round edges 119, 120 then two separated by a narrow strip 45 ° folds are available. In the Fig. 2 Rounded edges 121 shown must be replaced by obliquely directed (straight) edges between two 45 ° angles. This applies analogously to the design of the cover flap 105.

Die beschriebenen Packungen können auch anders dimensioniert und für die Aufnahme anderer Gegenstände vorgesehen sein.The packs described can also be dimensioned differently and provided for the inclusion of other items.
