Abstract

The cigarette packing has a packing body (4) for receiving cigarettes, a cover (5) with a front surface, a rear surface and two opposite side surfaces (11b,21b). A protuberance (201b) is formed at the cover, at the packing body and at the side surfaces of a packing. The packing body is extended over a connecting line between hinge and front cover lower edge by closed packing.

Description

The invention relates to a package for containing smokable articles, in particular cigarettes.

From the prior art cigarette packages are known, which are made of cardboard material or similar materials. These in turn are packaged for sale in a cellophane wrap or a transparent plastic sheeting, these slides being removed by the user prior to use.

Such a cigarette packet usually comprises a stretched packing body for holding cigarettes having an upper opening for removing the cigarettes. Furthermore, the packing body has an end face, a rear face, two opposing side faces and a bottom face. In this case, a lid is connected to the package body via a hinge, with which the upper opening of the package body can be closed. This lid also has an end face, a back face, two opposing side faces and an upper face. The joint connecting the package body and the lid is mostly located at the rear of the package with an upper edge of the rear surface of the package body and a lower edge of the back surface of the lid joined together. Furthermore, a cigarette packet usually comprises a frame, which is arranged within the package body in the region of the upper opening.

In order to avoid accidental opening of the lid, the frame according to the prior art is so far up that it frictionally holds the lid in its closing the upper opening of the package body position.

However, the repetitive opening and closing of the cigarette pack, the Zargenoberteil is quickly worn and the side surfaces of the lid can their Lose strength, so that the frictional engagement to hold the lid in the closed position is no longer guaranteed. By inadvertently opening the lid then, for example, cigarettes may fall out of the pack or escape flavoring substances which are to be held in the tobacco material. Furthermore, the "closed" lid is often slightly open when the box has been used for a longer period of time, which gives off an ugly picture and also results in the evaporation or drying of the cigarettes.

Furthermore, it is possible that upon complete opening of the lid, the lid made of cardboard easily deformed, so that engage one or both side surfaces of the lid during pivoting back of the lid within the side walls of the frame and thus prevent re-closing of the cigarette pack. If this intervention is not noticed by the user within the lateral frame surfaces, as a result of the resealing forces, portions of the cigarette package may be deformed or even destroyed, which would mean the partial or total loss of function of the cigarette package.

It is the object of the invention to provide a cigarette pack which overcomes the above-described problems of the prior art.

This object is achieved by a cigarette pack according to claim 1. The subclaims define preferred embodiments of the invention.

The cigarette packet according to the invention has at least one side surface of the package body and / or the lid on at least one board, which extends in the closed package over an imaginary line connecting the joint and the front lid lower edge. This connecting line is formed by connecting in a side view of the cigarette pack, the joint on the rear surface of the cigarette pack with the lower lid edge or packaging body upper edge at the front of the cigarette pack.

This connection line is usually also the lower edge of the lid or upper edge of the packaging body on the side surfaces of a prior art Cigarette pack. Since the joint on the rear surface of the cigarette pack is usually located higher, ie closer to the upper surface of the lid than the front lower lid edge, this connecting line extends diagonally across each of the two side surfaces of the cigarette pack. In the case of the cigarette packs of the prior art, the lid and the pack body abut on each other in the region of the front and the lateral lower lid edges or pack upper edges.

In the case of the cigarette pack according to the invention, one or more side walls may be arranged on one or both side surfaces, which extend beyond the connection line when the package is closed, wherein both the lid and the package body may have one or more projectors on one or both side surfaces of the package.

The advantage of this or these boards is that they provide additional areas (preferably two areas per board), which can serve as large-area friction surfaces. Thus, the lid can be kept particularly well in a position in which it closes the opening of the packing body by a frictional engagement generated by the boards. Furthermore, the lid can be guided in its movement between an open and a closed position by one or more boards relative to the package body, which on the one hand facilitates the handling of the cigarette pack and on the other hand ensures their function.

In the following, reference is made to a management board. It is of course conceivable that the cigarette pack according to the invention comprises a plurality of boards, wherein each or individual boards thereof may have the mentioned characteristics.

You can print the board in the production of the cigarette pack or given it a specific shape or appearance, so as to serve the user as a source of information. The board can only be part of an overall larger information area.

Advantageously, when the cigarette packet is closed, the board may enter or be introduced into a receptacle adapted to it, the board serving to hold the lid in a closed position and thus to prevent unintentional opening of the cigarette packet. Thus, one or both side surfaces of the board may be configured as friction surfaces that slide or rub along the frame and / or side surface of the cigarette pack. Since the friction surfaces of the board according to the invention are substantially larger than the friction surfaces of the frames of the cigarette packages known from the prior art, an independent opening of the lid is more effectively prevented by the greater frictional engagement generated, as is the case in the prior art. Also, one or both side surfaces of the board may additionally have frictionally enhancing elements, for example roughened surfaces. Further, it is conceivable that in particular by the shape of the board and a matching shape of the recording in addition to the above-mentioned frictional engagement a positive connection between the board and recording is achieved, which also prevents the lid on the self-opening. Thus, for example, the inclusion at the point where the board enters the receptacle, have smaller dimensions than the board, so that the board can only be moved by applying an additional force through this narrowed point of the recording. If this increased force is needed only during a short distance along the direction of movement of the board, the user could advantageously be signaled by a typical "snapping sound" that the cigarette pack is closed, whereby the haptic complacency of the cigarette pack is improved.

Also, such an interaction is conceivable not only between a board and a receptacle, but also between several boards on the lid and the package body, which engage, hook or rub against each other.

If the receptacle is arranged on the package body, it may be formed between the package body and the frame. For example, if the frame is not completely glued over the entire surface on which it rests against the package body, the areas where no bond is present, form the receptacle.

The receptacle can be defined by an area that rests in the blank of the cigarette pack on the board and therefore has the negative profile of the board. Since the area adjoining the blank in the blank belongs to a packaging surface which is arranged below an outer (visible) side surface of the cigarette pack in the folded and glued cigarette packet, the surfaces of the receptacle on which the side surfaces of the board rub rub through a side surface the frame and an inner surface of the visible side surface of the cigarette pack formed.

However, it is also conceivable that the receptacle is arranged on the cover, whereby this in turn is formed by the cutting in the blank adjacent to the board area of the lid blank on the lid.

The board can be made of the same material as the cigarette pack and so be defined in the cut of the cigarette pack. It therefore does not have to be attached in a separate step, for example by subsequent bonding with an existing cigarette packet. Accordingly, the board may be a molding on an edge of a side surface of the package body or the lid. However, it is also conceivable that the board is formed by an Anformung on an edge of a arranged under a side surface of the package body or the lid surface, which is no longer visible after bonding of the cigarette box. A combination of both possibilities would be conceivable.

Furthermore, the board can be formed by an edge of one of the surfaces of the cigarette box blank, which are arranged on a side surface of the cigarette box stacked or glued, offset to an edge of the other surface, in particular both edges may have a similar shape or a similar profile ,

Basically, the board in a side projection of the cigarette box can have any shape, in particular a substantially round or semicircular shape or also a 3- or polygonal shape. The same applies, of course, to the inclusion of the Board of Directors.

Furthermore, the lower and / or upper edge of the board may extend parallel or substantially parallel to an upper edge or lower edge of a side surface of the package body.

Also, the lower and / or upper edge of the board may have any shape or profile, in particular a curved or wave-like shape.

Another aspect of the invention relates to one or more formed on the lid boards that prevent jamming of the lid when reclosing the cigarette pack.

In this case, according to the invention at least one board is formed on the cover, which overlaps up to a certain opening angle of the lid with a side surface of the arranged within the package body in the region of the upper opening frame. Preferably, a left-hand board can be moved along outside the left-hand side surface of the frame, while a right-hand board is moved outside the right-hand side surface of the frame.

This overlap may preferably be up to a lid opening angle of 150 °. However, an overlap is also conceivable up to an arbitrary opening angle, such as, for example, almost to the maximum opening angle of 180 °, that is almost to the point at which the rear surface of the lid rests against the rear surface of the package body. Thus, a jamming of a lid on the frame or on the package body when reclosing the cigarette pack is no longer possible. The lid is guided "outside" the frame.

Basically, each of the boards described here on the cover a "longer" overlap with the frame when opening and closing the lid. It is obvious, that the one or more boards overlap with the frame the longer they fall below the imaginary line between the joint and the front lid lower edge.

The overlap is in particular supported by the fact that at least part of the board is arranged in the rear area of the side surface of the lid, ie in the area closer to the rear surface of the cigarette pack than the end area of the cigarette pack. Jamming can be prevented particularly well if the board or a substantial part of the board is arranged in the region of the joint between the lid and the package body.

Further, the side surfaces 11a and 11b are arranged with folded and glued packaging above the blanking surfaces 611a and 611b and are glued to them. In the blanking surfaces 611a and 611b are in FIG. 6a arranged substantially semicircular recesses, which later form the recordings for the boards 201a and 201b. At the same time the boards 201a and 201b are formed in the blank on the blanking surfaces 613a and 613b of the lid 5, which thus have the negative profile of the images. In this case, the blanking surfaces 613a and 613b are arranged below the side surfaces 21a and 21b of the lid 5 in the case of folded and glued packaging and are adhesively bonded thereto. Furthermore, the joint 38 can be seen, which connects the rear surfaces 13 and 23 of the package body 4 of the lid 5 and to which ultimately the cover 5 is articulated on the package body 4.

The FIG. 7 shows a cigarette pack according to the invention with boards on the lid 5. The board 201b overlaps with the side surface 111b of the frame 102 up to a certain opening angle, with a much larger opening angle of the lid 5 is possible than in conventional cigarette packs from the prior art. In the example shown here FIG. 7 is the lid opening angle 150 °, according to the invention, depending on the design of the board 201a or 201 beine overlap these boards with the corresponding side surfaces 111a and 111b to realize any lid opening angle. FIG. 8 shows the in FIG. 7 described cigarette pack with the lid closed.

In the FIGS. 9 and 10 FIG. 12 shows a further embodiment of the cigarette packet according to the invention, wherein the lower edge of a side surface 21b is offset to the lower edge of a surface 613b located below the side surface 21b. By this displacement, the board 201 b is formed, which ultimately enters between the side surface 11 b of the frame 102 and the side surface 11 b of the package body 4. In this case, the lower edges of the surfaces 21b and 613b and the lower edge and upper edge of the board 201b on a curved, wave-like shape.

The FIGS. 11a to 11h show various embodiments of the cigarette pack according to the invention in a side projection, in particular, the shape of the boards 201a and 201b is pay attention. Thus, these boards 201a and 201b can be designed in a variety of ways, whereby a visual complacency for the user can be achieved.

The Figure 11A shows a cigarette packet according to the invention, in which a substantially semicircular board 201 b on the surface 611 b, which lies below the surface 11 b, is integrally formed on the upper edge thereof. This engages when closing the lid within the side surface 21b.

The FIG. 11B shows a cigarette packet according to the invention, in which a substantially semi-circular board 201b at a lower edge of the surface 613b, which lies below the surface 21b, is integrally formed on the lid. This board is passed when closing the lid on the outside of the side 111b of the frame and engages in a receptacle which lies between the surfaces 111b and 11b.

The FIG. 11C shows a cigarette packet according to the invention, in which the board is arranged in the left upper portion of the lid side surface 21b, wherein the lower edge of the lid side surface 21b has a wave-like shape. A recording for the board is not provided here. However, this slides along the outside of the side surface 111b when the lid is closed.

The Figure 11D shows a similar embodiment of the cigarette package according to the invention as the FIG. 11C However, here are the lower edges of the cover side surfaces 21b and 613b offset from each other, whereby the board 201b is formed. This engages when closing the lid in a corresponding receptacle between the surfaces 11b and 111b.

The Figure 11E shows a cigarette packet according to the invention, in which a polygonal board is formed, whose function is essentially that of the board Figure 11A similar. It can be seen that a variety of different shapes can be provided for the boards that perform the same function, but can be changed in shape, for example, for the visual appearance of the cigarette pack. However, it is worth mentioning that, especially with a polygonal board like in Figure 11E a positive intervention of the board can be constructively provided.

The Figure 11F shows a cigarette packet according to the invention with a rectangular side surface 20b of the lid, wherein the board 201b substantially triangular surface located on the upper left side of the side surface 21b occupies. It can be seen here that, with this embodiment, the side surface 21b overlaps with the board 201b, even with the lid almost completely open, with the surface 111b. This is particularly advantageous for the second aspect of the invention, in which jamming of the lid to the package body is to be prevented. Furthermore, this embodiment of the cigarette pack on a visually closed appearance, which increases the optical complacency.

The Figure 11G shows an embodiment in which the side surfaces 11b and 611b are not superposed in their entire extension. Thus, in the upper region of the cigarette pack, a region of the surface 611b is shown, which is not covered by the surface 11b. This shape is found in a recess of the lid side surface 21b, wherein the board 201b is formed in the upper left corner of the side surface 21b.

The Figure 11H shows an embodiment similar to the embodiment Figure 11G however, the surfaces 11b and 611b are superimposed over their entire extent.
