Definitions

  • the invention relates to a folding box with box part, lid and collar, in particular for a group of cigarettes as package contents, wherein the collar fixed in the box part has a collar front wall and collar side tabs facing a box front wall and box side walls.
  • Folding cartons are among the world's most popular cigarette packs. See the document as an example GB-A-1086725 , The structural design of this type of pack is determined by a (lower) box part, a lid and by a usually made of a separate blank the collar.
  • the lid is connected in the region of a box rear wall or a lid rear wall with the box part via a transverse line joint.
  • the collar is secured in the box member such that the collar front panel abuts the box front wall and the collar side flaps contact the box side panels.
  • the contents of the package is a cigarette block which fills the interior of the folding box, that is to say an ordered group of cigarettes which is surrounded by an inner blank of paper or tin foil.
  • the invention has for its object to propose a new form of the folding box for particular cigarettes, which ensures a better match between the package and package contents, in particular an adaptation to different dimensions of the package contents.
  • the contents of the package - cigarette block - is surrounded by the cross-sectionally U-shaped collar.
  • a reduced internal space for the package contents which is reduced in relation to the outer dimensions of the folding box, is created by a special design and positioning of the collar. Its collar side tabs are spaced from the box side walls and supported on these front and back.
  • a front-side support tab is formed by particular U-shaped punching as part of the collar side flap and extending in the plane of the collar front wall.
  • Back support tabs are formed by angling an edge strip of the collar side flap, in particular in an inclined position, wherein a free edge of the support tab centering enters a rear, upright box corner.
  • the cigarette block has a smaller width than the folding box.
  • the cigarette block has a smaller width than the folding box.
  • on both sides of the cigarette block creates an upright cavity, which is also suitable for receiving packings, z. B. of print media, can be used.
  • the embodiment shown in the drawings relates to a folding box for cigarettes 10.
  • a cigarette group 11 is surrounded by an inner blank and thus forms an approximately cuboid cigarette block 12 as a package contents.
  • the folding box consists of a (lower) box part 13, a lid 14 and a collar 15.
  • Box part 13 and cover 14 consist of a common, one-piece blank according to Fig. 3 , This forms by corresponding pre-embossed fold lines a box front wall 16, a bottom wall 17, a box rear wall 18, a lid rear wall 19, an end wall 20 and a lid front wall 21.
  • box side tabs 22nd , 23 and lid side tabs 24, 25 are attached.
  • the collar 15 consists of collar front wall 28 and collar side flaps 29, 30. At the top, the collar front wall 28 forms a recess 31 which is conventional per se. On the opposite side, a tongue 32 of the same shape and dimension is formed.
  • Collar front wall 28 on the one hand and collar side tabs 29, 30 on the other hand are defined by upright fold lines 33 from each other. These are formed by changing the material of the collar, in particular by embossing or, as shown, by a series of die cuts. This results in U-shaped folding of the collar sharp, upright collar edges in the region of these fold lines 33rd
  • the folded collar 15 surrounds the cigarette block 12, such that the collar front wall 28 abuts on a front side and the collar side tabs 29, 30 respectively on narrow side surfaces of the cigarette block 12 ( Fig. 5, Fig. 6 ).
  • the collar is fixed in particular by gluing in the box part 13, such that an upper boundary of the collar 15 is substantially flush with the cigarette block 12.
  • the package contents namely the cigarette block 12 is formed with a smaller width than the (outer) dimensions of the folding box.
  • the collar side tabs 29, 30 at a distance from the inside of the side walls 26, 27 positioned, parallel to these. It arises at a symmetrical arrangement and design of the collar 15 on both sides of an upright cavity 34 between the side walls 26, 27 on the one hand and the collar side tabs 29, 30 on the other.
  • the cavity can be used for receiving packages, in particular for the accommodation of (folded) print media with information, advertising, etc.
  • the collar 15 is aligned and supported within the folding box.
  • the collar 15 On the front side, namely adjacent to the box front wall 16, the collar 15 has laterally directed supporting tabs 35, 36. These are formed by the collar 15 itself, by a U- or C-shaped punch 37. This is positioned in a certain relative position to the folding line 33, namely such that the substantially in the region of the collar side tabs 29, 30th extending support tabs 35, 36 are formed. Arcuate legs of the punching 37 end in extension of the folding line 33. This has the consequence that when U-shaped folding of the collar side tabs 29, 30, the support tabs 35, 36 in the original position, namely aligned in the plane of the collar front wall 28, remain and so automatically the support position according to Fig. 5 taking.
  • the dimension of the punch 37 and thus the support tabs 35, 36 is selected so that support edges 38 are supported on the box side wall 26, in an upright gap between the inside box side flap 23 and the box front wall 16.
  • the folding box or the box part 13 here forms an upright front
  • a special feature is that the punching 37 is arranged in a lower region of the collar 15, such that the support tabs 35, 36 are preferably covered overall by the box front wall 16, that is to say terminate below an upper edge thereof (US Pat. Fig. 1 ).
  • the collar side tabs 29, 30 form support tabs, namely edge tabs 40, 41.
  • a support edge 43 of the edge tabs 40, 41 enters a rear-side pack corner 42 (FIG. Fig. 5, Fig. 6 ).
  • the edge tabs 40, 41 as support means are directed obliquely, in particular at an angle of (approximately) 45 °.
  • the collar side tabs 29, 30 are provided for this purpose, each with an additional fold line 44, in particular by punching.
  • the edge tabs 40 are defined, such that by appropriate folding of the collar 15 the Randlappen 40, 41 occupy the obliquely oriented, adjusting support position.
  • the collar 15 is stably positioned in its entirety within the folding box, without any full-surface contact of the collar side tabs 29, 30 on the side walls.
  • the collar 15 is adaptable by the illustrated and described design to different dimensions of the package contents at predetermined outer dimensions.
  • a cigarette group 11 with twelve cigarettes 10 is provided in the illustrated embodiment ( Fig. 5, Fig. 6 ). These are positioned in a special formation, namely with eight cigarettes each in pairs next to each other and each with two in "saddle position" centrally positioned single cigarettes. These are supported on both sides by two adjacent cigarettes.
  • the configuration or arrangement of the collar 15 can also be chosen so that the cigarette block 12 eccentrically, offset within the folding box is arranged in the extreme case such that only on one side of a cavity 34 is formed.
  • the folding box is provided with a closing aid known per se, in which a lid inner tab 45 due to the special contour of side edges ( Fig. 3 ) in the closed position causes entanglement with the collar front wall 28, in an area adjacent to the recess 31.
  • the inner lid flap is formed in this area with reduced width, adapting to the smaller width of the collar front wall 28th
