Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for identifying one or more smoking articles. Further, it relates to a smoking article package with one or more labeled smoking articles.
  • smoking articles in particular cigarettes with and without filters, can carry inscriptions on the wrappers, the cigarette paper or the tipping paper of the filter.
  • the labels can serve the information of the consumer or advertising purposes. Examples of this are, for example, in the WO 00/41581 , of the DE 198 39 982 A1 , of the FR 1.541.984 or the JP 082 38 083 to find.
  • all cigarettes of a pack are printed, especially the same printed. This can be achieved in a simple way so that the cigarette paper is printed before the cigarette is produced.
  • the US 2002/0046079 A1 which discloses all features in the preamble of claim 1, describes a method of varying the packaging of like products.
  • a method is described for packaging cigarettes, wherein the cigarettes are placed in individual packages made of paper, which are slightly longer and denser than the cigarette paper, whereby the individual packages can be individually printed. These individual packages are prepared in advance to then place the cigarettes in them.
  • the WO 00/41581 A describes a cigarette with advertising. The printing takes place during the production of the paper, long before the cigarettes are produced for one pack.
  • the DE 299 22 718 U1 describes a cigarette, cigar or cigarillo, wherein the paper sleeve of the cigarette or the outer or cover sheet of the cigar or cigarillos consists of a colored with a food coloring or outside coated cigarette paper, outer or cover sheet.
  • the marking should be incorporated into the normal production process and carried out at normal production speeds.
  • the labeling in the packaging process is only applied to the smoking article (s) when the smoking articles have already been selected for packaging.
  • the printing of the smoking article or cigarette takes place as short as possible before the final actual packaging.
  • a place and time in the packaging process makes sense on which the smoking article or cigarettes are already defined for a particular pack, so that according to the invention advantageously ensures that only and just a certain and defined number of smoking articles with the desired label in a package gets into it.
  • the application of the label may preferably be made after the smoking articles have been assembled for packaging in the smoking article or cigarette packaging machine. After the sorting unit, a corresponding identification means would then also be arranged.
  • An advantageous place for the application of the marking is the area of the pocket chain of a cigarette packaging machine. There, the smoking articles or cigarettes are already sorted in the defined number for a pack.
  • the labeling can be done by a printing process, so for example by inkjet printing or laser printing, but it is also possible to choose a removal process, so for example to install a laser, the material of the envelope of the smoking article ab staff and thus allows labeling.
  • the application of the label is carried out when pushing out the smoking article from a pocket of the bag chain, in particular by means of a relative to the bag stationary identification means.
  • the identification means can be arranged particularly advantageous because it does not have to be moved, and the Ausschiebeterrorism generates the necessary linear feed for the progress of the label, so for example for the application of a label.
  • a single or multiple tags may be used to identify multiple smoking articles.
  • at most 50% of the smoking articles are labeled for packaging, specifically at most three and more specifically only one smoking article.
  • Cigarettes are assembled in packs to form so-called cigarette blocks before being packaged and transported in pocket chains within the packaging machine.
  • a cigarette block 1 is shown in a bag 2 in side view.
  • the cigarettes are shown in three layers with 8, 7 and 8 cigarettes.
  • FIG. 2 the bag chain of a cigarette packaging machine is shown schematically in plan view.
  • the cigarette blocks 1 are transported, in the illustrated example according to the direction of the arrow from right to left.
  • the cigarette blocks arrive in a position of the machine in which the cigarette blocks are pushed out of the pockets by an aid in order to be enveloped by another machine part, eg a transport wheel and then wrapped with a first envelope, the inner liner.
  • the pushing-out aid is shown as a movable punch 4.
  • FIG. 3 shown machine position the cigarette block has just been pushed out of the pocket and the movable punch 4 returned to its rest position. This movement is common in commercially available machines.
  • FIG. 4 shows the printing unit 5 can be seen here above the pocket.
  • the actually effective print head 6 is represented by the circle.
  • the printhead is above the Abschiebepfad a particular cigarette 7 that exactly this cigarette can be printed.
  • the position of the print head is adjustable, so that even with other numbers of cigarettes per layer a cigarette can be selectively printed. It is also possible in this way to determine whether a cigarette should be printed in the middle of the uppermost layer or at its edge.
  • FIG. 5 the expulsion of the cigarette block 1 from the bag 2 is shown.
  • the movable punch 4 moves forward and dives into the pocket 2. This is shown by the dashed representation of the partially hidden stamp.
  • the stationary printhead uses the movement of the cigarette to print an inscription with an adjustable text or other characters on the cigarette 7 over an adjustable length.
  • the movement of the cigarettes which is anyway necessary for the packaging process, is therefore advantageously used for the advance of the printing.
  • the machine cycle can be used, as well as special sensors (not shown in the figure) which detect the position of the cigarette.
  • the labeling method according to the invention can be carried out at the normal speeds of the packaging machine during production. No special handling of the cigarettes is necessary and can therefore be integrated directly into existing packaging machines. Above all, no additional movements of cigarettes or printing units are required at the high production speeds.
  • Additional embodiments within the scope of the present invention are feasible for transporting the cigarettes during transport of the not yet enveloped cigarette block, e.g. also in the pocket chain, to be printed. For this, e.g. also the printheads are moved.
