An open side of the box part (10) can be sealed by a tight-fitting covering film (28) which is detachably connected to the covered box and/or the box part (10) by means of adhesive strips (29) along the edges and which can be opened and closed repeatedly.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Packung des Typs Kappenschachtel für stückiges Packgut, insbesondere Produkte der Tabak verarbeitenden Industrie, bestehend aus einem (unteren) Schächtelteil und einem mit diesem verbundenen Deckel.The invention relates to a pack of the type cap box for lumpy packaged goods, in particular products of the tobacco-processing industry, consisting of a (lower) shaft part and a lid connected thereto.

Kappenschachteln sind weltweit verbreitet für die Verpackung von Zigaretten. Üblicherweise besteht dieser Packungstyp aus einem rechteckigen, gegebenenfalls auch quadratischen Schachtelteil mit Schachtel-Boden, aufrechten Seiten- und Querwänden. Ein in analoger Weise ausgebildeter Deckel ist schwenkbar mit dem Schachtelteil verbunden, üblicherweise durch einen Material- bzw. Papier-Streifen, der Schachtelteil und Deckel miteinander verbindet. Bei geöffnetem Deckel ist eine Offenseite des Schachtelteils vollflächig frei, sodass die Zigaretten in voller Länge bereit liegen. Üblicherweise befindet sich innerhalb des Schachtelteils ein Kragen bzw. ein Rahmen aus einem stegartigen Materialstreifen, der ringsherum läuft und mit einem Überstand aus dem Schachtelteil herausragt. Die Zigaretten bzw. eine Zigaretten-Gruppe ist demnach von dem Rahmen umgeben. So eine packung ist aus US 5938 018 bekannt. Eine Packung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 ist aus US 5938 018 bekannt. GB 1269 783 offenbart eine weitere Packung mit einem aus Kunststoff hergestellten Trageteil.Capsule boxes are used worldwide for the packaging of cigarettes. Usually, this type of packing consists of a rectangular, possibly also square box part with box bottom, upright side and transverse walls. A lid formed in an analogous manner is pivotally connected to the box part, usually by a strip of material or paper, the box part and lid together. When the lid is open, one open side of the box part is completely free so that the cigarettes are ready in full length. Usually located within the box part, a collar or a frame of a web-like strip of material that runs around and protrudes with a supernatant from the box part. The cigarettes or a cigarette group is therefore surrounded by the frame. Such a pack is over US 5938 018 known. A package according to the preamble of claim 1 is made US 5938 018 known. GB 1269 783 discloses a further pack with a support made of plastic.

Die Erfindung befasst sich mit der Weiterentwicklung und Verbesserung derartiger oder ähnlicher Kappenschachteln. Es geht darum, die Dichtigkeit der Packung gegen Aroma- und Feuchtigkeitsverluste zu erhöhen, gleichwohl aber die Handhabbarkeit durch den Verbraucher und auch die industrielle Produzierbarkeit der Packung nicht zu beeinträchtigen. Weiterhin sollen neue Anwendungsbereiche dieses Packungstyps erschlossen werden.The invention is concerned with the further development and improvement of such or similar cap boxes. The aim is to increase the tightness of the package against loss of aroma and moisture, but at the same time not to impair the handling by the consumer and also the industrial producibility of the package. Furthermore, new applications of this type of packaging to be developed.

Der Erfindung liegt demnach die Aufgabe zugrunde, Kappenschachteln so auszubilden, dass sie den vorstehenden Forderungen entsprechen.The invention is therefore the object of cappods in such a way that they meet the above requirements.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist eine Packung nach Anspruch offenbart.To solve this problem, a package according to claim is disclosed.

Die großflächige Offenseite des Schachtelteils ist verantwortlich für Aroma- und Feuchtigkeitsverluste. Die (dichte) Verschlussfolie wirkt diesem Nachteil entgegen. Eine mehrfach benutzbare, nämlich in Öffnungs- und Schließstellung bringbare Verschlussfolie erhöht die Aroma- und Feuchtigkeitskonservierung auch nach dem erstmaligen Öffnen der Packung.The large open side of the box part is responsible for aroma and moisture loss. The (tight) sealing foil counteracts this disadvantage. A multiple-use, namely in the open and closed position bringable sealing film increases the aroma and moisture preservation even after the first opening of the pack.

Die Erfindung zeigt unterschiedliche Möglichkeiten für die Anbringung der die Offenseite abdeckenden Verschlussfolie auf. Ein Lösungsweg besteht darin, dass ein gesondertes Innenstück in die Kappenschachtel bzw. in den Schachtelteil eingesetzt wird, an dem die Verschluss- bzw. Abdeckfolie lösbar bzw. abtrennbar angebracht ist, insbesondere mit Dauerkleber zur mehrmaligen Benutzung. Alternativ kann diese auch mit dem Rahmen verbunden sein, nämlich mit dem aus einem Schachtelteil herausragenden Randstreifen.The invention shows different possibilities for the attachment of the cover sheet covering the open side. One approach is that a separate inner piece is inserted into the cap box or in the box part to which the closure or covering is releasably attached or detachable, in particular with permanent adhesive for repeated use. Alternatively, this can also be connected to the frame, namely with the edge strip protruding from a box part.

Als Alternative ist in der Kappenschachtel, nämlich im Schachteilteil, ein Einsatz bzw. ein Abdeckteil eingebracht, der mit einer Oberwand einen Teilbereich bzw. dem überwiegenden Bereich der Offenseite abdeckt, derart, dass in der Oberwand eine Öffnung für die Entnahme des Packungsinhalts frei bleibt. Diese Ausführung der Kappenschachtel ist besonders geeignet für die Aufnahme von Kautabakportionen und ähnlichem stückigen Packgut.As an alternative, in the cap box, namely in the chess part, an insert or a cover introduced, which covers a partial area or the vast area of the open side with a top wall, such that in the top wall an opening for the removal of the contents remains free. This embodiment of the cap box is particularly suitable for receiving chewing tobacco portions and similar pieces of packaged goods.

Kappenschachteln sind quaderförmige Hartpackungen, die üblicherweise aus (dünnem) Karton bestehen. Zum Standardaufbau gehört ein (unterer) Schachtelteil 10 und ein Deckel 11. Der Schachtelteil 10 besteht aus einem Schachtelboden 12, hier zu quergerichteten Schachtel-Längswand 13, 14 und Schachtel-Querwand 15, 16. Entsprechend besteht der Deckel 11 aus einer Deckelwand 17, gegenüberliegend zum Schachtelboden 12, Deckel-Längswänden 18, 19 und Deckel-Querwänden 20, 21. Schachtelteil 10 und Deckel 11 sind durch ein Liniengelenk schwenkbar miteinander verbunden. Zu diesem Zweck sind die rückseitige Schachtel-Querwand 15 und die zugeordnete Deckel-Querwand 20 durch einen Materialstreifen bzw. einen Gelenkstreifen, insbesondere aus Papier, miteinander verbunden.Cap boxes are cuboid hard packs, which usually consist of (thin) cardboard. The standard construction includes a (lower) box part 10 and a lid 11. The box part 10 consists of a box bottom 12, here to transverse box longitudinal wall 13, 14 and box transverse wall 15, 16. Accordingly, the lid 11 consists of a top wall 17, opposite to the box bottom 12, cover longitudinal walls 18, 19 and cover transverse walls 20, 21. Box part 10 and lid 11 are pivotally connected to each other by a line joint. To this Purpose are the rear box transverse wall 15 and the associated lid transverse wall 20 by a strip of material or a hinge strip, in particular made of paper, connected to each other.

Zu einer standardmäßigen Kappenschachtel gehört weiterhin ein Rahmen 22 oder Kragen, der aus einem langgestreckten Materialstreifen besteht und als geschlossene Einheit im Schachtelteil 10 angeordnet ist, wobei Rahmen-Längswände 23 und Rahmen-Querwände 24 an der Innenseite der Schachtel-Wände 13..16 anliegen und vorzugsweise mit diesen durch Klebung verbunden sind. Der Rahmen 22 ist so bemessen, dass ein Materialstreifen bzw. ein Rahmenteil 25 ringsherum aus dem Schachtelteil 10 herausragt. Dieser freie Rahmenteil 25 wird in Schließstellung der Packung von dem Deckel 11 umfasst. Der Packungsinhalt ist üblicherweise bündig mit dem Rahmen 22 angeordnet.To a standard cap box further includes a frame 22 or collar, which consists of an elongated strip of material and is arranged as a closed unit in the box part 10, wherein frame longitudinal walls 23 and frame transverse walls 24 bear against the inside of the box walls 13..16 and preferably bonded to them by adhesion. The frame 22 is dimensioned such that a strip of material or a frame part 25 protrudes from the box part 10 around it. This free frame part 25 is encompassed by the cover 11 in the closed position of the pack. The package contents are usually arranged flush with the frame 22.

Die Kappenschachteln gemäß Fig. 1 bis Fig. 18 dienen bevorzugt zur Aufnahme von Zigaretten 26. Eine Zigarettengruppe 27 mit mehreren Lagen übereinander ist im Schachtelteil 10 angeordnet und von dem Rahmen 22 umgeben. Eine freie, nach oben gerichtete Seite des Schachtelteils 10 ist durch ein Verschlusselement abgedeckt, insbesondere durch eine Verschlussfolie 28 aus vorzugsweise feuchtigkeits- und aromadichtem Werkstoff. Die Verschlussfolie 28 kann mehrlagig (Laminat) ausgebildet sein. Die Verschlussfolie 28 ist so bemessen und angeordnet, dass mindestens die Offenseite des Schachtelteils 10 in Schließstellung vollflächig abgedeckt ist.The cap boxes according to Fig. 1 to Fig. 18 are preferably used to hold cigarettes 26. A cigarette group 27 with several layers one above the other is arranged in the box part 10 and surrounded by the frame 22. A free, upwardly directed side of the box part 10 is covered by a closure element, in particular by a closure film 28 of preferably moisture and aroma-resistant material. The closure film 28 may be multi-layered (laminate). The closure film 28 is dimensioned and arranged so that at least the open side of the box part 10 is covered over its entire area in the closed position.

Des Weiteren ist die Verschlussfolie 28 für mehrmaliges Öffnen und Wiederverschließen der Packung ausgebildet. Zu diesem Zweck ist die Verschlussfolie 28 am Schachtelteil 10 oder einem besonderen Zusatzelement im Schachtelteil 10 durch Kleber, insbesondere durch Dauerkleber fixiert, und zwar so, dass in Schließstellung eine weitgehend dichte Anlage der Verschlussfolie 28 am Schachtelteil 10 bzw. an dem Zusatzelement gegeben ist.Furthermore, the closure film 28 is designed for repeated opening and reclosing of the package. For this purpose, the closure film 28 is fixed to the box part 10 or a special additional element in the box part 10 by adhesive, in particular by permanent adhesive, in such a way that in the closed position a largely dense contact of the closure film 28 is given to the box part 10 and to the additional element.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 1 bis. Fig. 6 entspricht die Verschlussfolie 28 etwa der Größe und Kontur des Schachtelteils 10 bzw. des durch den Rahmen 22 umschlossenen Bereichs. Die Verschlussfolie 28 ist mit einem ringsherum laufenden, randseitigen Klebestreifen 29 versehen, der Längsstreifen 30 und Querstreifen 31 bildet. Auf der zum Deckel 11 gegenüberliegenden Seite, also im Bereich einer Schachtel-Querwand 16, ist die Öffnungsseite vorgesehen im vorliegenden Falle durch eine (klebstofffreie) Grifflasche 32. Die Verschlussfolie 28 wird bis zur gegenüberliegenden Schachtel-Querwand 15 abgezogen und bleibt dort in dauerhafter Verbindung mit dem gesonderten Verbindungselement oder mit der Außenseite der Rahmen-Querwand 24.In the embodiment according to Fig. 1 to. Fig. 6 The closing film 28 corresponds approximately to the size and contour of the box part 10 or of the area enclosed by the frame 22. The closure film 28 is provided with a peripheral edge-side adhesive strip 29 which forms longitudinal strips 30 and transverse strips 31. On the opposite side to the lid 11, ie in the region of a box transverse wall 16, the opening side is provided in the present case by a (adhesive-free) grip tab 32. The closure film 28 is pulled off to the opposite box transverse wall 15 and remains there in permanent connection with the separate connection element or with the outside of the frame transverse wall 24th

Die Verschlussfolie 28 ist mit einem gesonderten Element im Schachtelteil 10 verbunden, und zwar mit einem Einsatzstück 33 aus einem gesonderten Zuschnitt (Fig. 3). Der Zuschnitt ist so ausgebildet, dass - ausgehend von einer Zwischenfaltstellung gemäß Fig. 4 - ein selbsttätiges Aufrichten in eine Becherform bzw. in eine oben offene Schachtelform möglich ist, wobei Einsatz-Seitenwände 34, 35 in eine aufrechte Stellung gefaltet werden. Das Einsatzstück 33 in dieser Ausführungsform ist so ausgebildet, dass die Einsatz-Seitenwände 34, 35 doppellagig ausgebildet sind, nämlich jeweils mit zwei Einzelwänden 36, 37 im Abstand voneinander. Eine Einsatz-Bodenwand 38 liegt am Schachtelboden 12 an, während die Einsatz-Seitenwände 34, 35 innenseitig an den Schachtel-Wänden 13, 14, 15, 16 oder, wie in Fig. 1 gezeigt, an den Rahmen-Wänden 23, 24 anliegen. Der für den Packungsinhalt zur Verfügung stehende Innenraum ist um die Breite der Einsatz-Seitenwände 34, 35 reduziert. Es entsteht dadurch ringsherum neben dem Packungsinhalt, also neben der Zigarettengruppe 27, ein quergerichteter Materialstreifen bzw. Verbindungsstreifen 39als Verbindung der Einzelwände 36, 37, mit dem die Verschlussfolie 28 über den Klebestreifen 29 lösbar verbunden ist.The sealing film 28 is connected to a separate element in the box part 10, with an insert 33 from a separate blank ( Fig. 3 ). The blank is designed so that - starting from an intermediate folding position according to Fig. 4 - An automatic erection in a cup shape or in an open-top box shape is possible, with insert side walls 34, 35 are folded into an upright position. The insert 33 in this embodiment is formed so that the insert side walls 34, 35 are double-layered, namely in each case with two individual walls 36, 37 at a distance from each other. An insert bottom wall 38 abuts the box bottom 12, while the insert side walls 34, 35 on the inside of the box walls 13, 14, 15, 16 or, as in Fig. 1 shown, on the frame walls 23, 24 abut. The space available for the package contents is reduced by the width of the insert side walls 34, 35. It thus arises around the contents of the package, ie next to the cigarette group 27, a transverse material strip or connection strip 39 as connection of the individual walls 36, 37, with which the closure film 28 is detachably connected via the adhesive strip 29.

Das Einsatzstück 33 wird so hergestellt, dass trapezförmige Verbindungslaschen 40 mit der Unterseite der Einsatz-Bodenwand 38 verbunden (verklebt) werden, und zwar in einer Relativstellung gemäß Fig. 4. Aufgrund einer Anzahl paralleler (mit gestrichelten Linien dargestellter) Faltlinien liegen damit alle Bereiche des Einsatzstücks 33 in der erforderlichen Relativstellung. Durch Aufrichten der Einsatz-Seitenwände 34, 35 wird ein Parallelogrammeffekt wirksam, derart, dass die Einzelwände 36, 37 in eine aufrechte Stellung mit Abstand voneinander gelangen und der Verbindungsstreifen 39 jeweils als quergerichteter Abschluss jeder Einsatz-Seitenwand 34, 35 gefaltet ist.The insert 33 is made so that trapezoidal connection tabs 40 are bonded (glued) to the underside of the insert bottom wall 38, in a relative position as shown in FIG Fig. 4 , Due to a number of parallel (shown with dashed lines) fold lines are thus all areas of the insert 33 in the required relative position. By erecting the insert side walls 34, 35, a parallelogram effect becomes effective such that the individual walls 36, 37 are spaced apart in an upright position and the connecting strip 39 is folded as a transverse end of each insert side wall 34, 35, respectively.

Das in vorstehender oder ähnlicher Weise ausgebildete Einsatzstück 33 ermöglicht eine maschinell durchführbare Fertigung der Packung. Das Fließbild gemäß Fig. 6 zeigt in Richtung der Pfeile folgende Stationen: Eine standardmäßige Kappenschachtel wird fabrikmäßig vorgefertigt und mit einem ringsherum laufenden Verschlussstreifen aus insbesondere Papier angeliefert. An drei Seiten wird sodann ein Trennschnitt angebracht, wodurch Schachtelteil 10 und Deckel 11 voneinander getrennt werden unter Aufrechterhaltung der Verbindung im Bereich des Gelenks. Die Kappenschachtel kann sodann geöffnet werden. In einer weiteren Station wird das vorbereitete Einsatzstück 33 von oben in das Schachtelteil 10 eingeführt, und zwar in einer flach zusammenliegenden Zwischenfaltstellung gemäß Fig. 4. Dabei ist Druck im Bereich der Einsatz-Bodenwand 38 wirksam, mit der Folge, dass die Einsatz-Seitenwände 34, 35 durch die Schachtel-Wände bzw. durch den Rahmen 22 in die funktionsgemäße Stellung aufgerichtet werden. Dieser Schritt des Einführens des Einsatzstücks 33 kann mit dem Einführen der Zigarettengruppe 27-koordiniert werden, derart, dass beide Einheiten gleichzeitig oder unmittelbar aufeinanderfolgend in die Packung gelangen. Danach wird die mit ringsherum randseitigen Klebestreifen 29 versehene Verschlussfolie 28 aufgelegt, derart, dass die Klebestreifen 29 an den Verbindungsstreifen 39 des Einsatzstücks 33 anliegen. Die Grifflasche 32 befindet sich auf der zum Deckel 11 gegenüberliegenden Seite. Die Kappenschachtel wird sodann geschlossen.The trained in the above or similar manner insert 33 allows a machine feasible manufacture of the package. The flow chart according to Fig. 6 shows in the direction of the arrows the following stations: A standard cap box is factory prefabricated and in particular with a strip of tape running around Paper delivered. On three sides, a separating cut is then made, whereby the box part 10 and cover 11 are separated from each other while maintaining the connection in the region of the joint. The cap box can then be opened. In another station, the prepared insert 33 is inserted from above into the box part 10, in a flat-lying Zwischenfaltstellung according to Fig. 4 , In this case, pressure in the area of the insert bottom wall 38 is effective, with the result that the insert side walls 34, 35 are erected by the box walls or by the frame 22 in the functional position. This step of inserting the insert 33 may be coordinated with the insertion of the group of cigarettes 27 such that both units enter the package simultaneously or immediately in succession. Thereafter, the provided with around peripheral edge adhesive strips 29 sealing film 28 is placed, such that the adhesive strips 29 abut the connecting strip 39 of the insert 33. The gripping tab 32 is located on the opposite side to the lid 11. The cap box is then closed.

Das Einsatzstück zum Fixieren einer Verschlussfolie kann auch so ausgebildet und/oder angeordnet sein, dass es die Funktion des Rahmens 22 übernimmt. Ein solches Ausführungsbeispiel zeigt Fig. 7 bis Fig. 12. Das bei dieser Packung verwendete Einsatzstück 41 besteht aus einem rechteckigen oder quadratischen Zuschnitt (Fig. 9). Dieser ist so ausgebildet, dass lediglich im Bereich von zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Seiten, hier im Bereich der Schachtel-Längswände 13, 14, doppelwandige Einsatz-Seitenwände 42 mit zwei Einzelwänden 43, 44 und einem oberen, freien Verbindungsstreifen 45 geschaffen sind. Mit diesem ist eine Verschlussfolie 46 verbunden, die mit Längsklebestreifen 47 an den Verbindungsstreifen 45 befestigt ist. Quergerichtete Querklebestreifen 48 sind bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel mit aufrechten Einsatz-Wänden verbunden, nämlich mit einer Einsatz-Querwand 49 benachbart zum Deckel 11 einerseits und mit einer gegenüberliegenden Einsatz-Querwand 50 andererseits. Die Verschlussfolie 46 ist zu diesem Zweck abgewinkelt, derart, dass ein endseitiger Schenkel 51 mit dem Querklebestreifen 48 an der jeweiligen aufrechten Einsatz-Querwand 49, 50 anliegt und mit dieser verbunden ist. Der frontseitige Schenkel 51 ist mit der Grifflasche 52 versehen, die bei geschlossener Packung innerhalb des Bereichs des Deckels 11 liegt.The insert for fixing a closure film can also be designed and / or arranged such that it assumes the function of the frame 22. Such an embodiment shows FIG. 7 to FIG. 12 , The insert 41 used in this pack consists of a rectangular or square blank ( Fig. 9 ). This is designed so that only in the area of two opposite sides, here in the area of the box longitudinal walls 13, 14, double-walled insert side walls 42 are provided with two individual walls 43, 44 and an upper, free connection strip 45. With this a closure film 46 is connected, which is attached with longitudinal adhesive strips 47 to the connecting strip 45. Transverse transverse adhesive strips 48 are connected in this embodiment with upright insert walls, namely with an insert transverse wall 49 adjacent to the lid 11 on the one hand and with an opposite insert transverse wall 50 on the other. The closure film 46 is angled for this purpose, such that an end-side leg 51 rests with the transverse adhesive strip 48 on the respective upright insert transverse wall 49, 50 and is connected thereto. The front leg 51 is provided with the grip tab 52, which lies in the closed package within the range of the lid 11.

Der Zuschnitt (Fig. 9) für dieses Einsatzstück 41 weist die doppelwandigen Einsatz-Seitenwände 42 auf mit den Einzelwänden 43, 44, die durch den Verbindungsstreifen 45 abgegrenzt sind. Diese Faltlappen erstrecken sich über die volle Länge der Kappenschachtel bzw. des Schachtelteils 10. Die Bereiche für die innenliegenden Einzelwände 43 sind benachbart zueinander angeordnet und lediglich durch einen randseitigen Stützstreifen 53 voneinander abgegrenzt. Die benachbarten Stützstreifen 53 sind durch einen mittigen Trennschnitt 54 voneinander abgegrenzt. An den Enden der Faltlappen 43 ist ein Querschnitt 55 angebracht, der die innenliegenden Einzelwände 43 von den Einsatz-Querwenden 49, 50 trennt.The cut ( Fig. 9 ) for this insert 41 has the double-walled insert side walls 42 with the individual walls 43, 44, which are delimited by the connecting strip 45. These folding flaps extend over the full length of the cap box or of the box part 10. The regions for the internal individual walls 43 are arranged adjacent to one another and delimited from one another only by a peripheral support strip 53. The adjacent support strips 53 are delimited from one another by a central separating cut 54. At the ends of the folding tabs 43, a cross-section 55 is attached, which separates the internal individual walls 43 from the insert transverse turns 49, 50.

Der so ausgebildete Zuschnitt wird in einem ersten Faltschritt in die Stellung gemäß Fig. 10 gefaltet, in der der Zuschnitt bzw. das Einsatzstück 41 eine kappenförmige Form aufweist, lediglich nach unten offen. In dieser Zwischenfaltstellung wird das Einsatzstück 41 in die Packung eingesetzt, nämlich in den offenen Schachtelteil 10 (Fig. 12). Danach wird das Einsatzstück 41 in die Endstellung gemäß Fig. 11 gefaltet, und zwar durch Abwärtsbewegen der als freie Flügel ausgebildeten Einzelwände 43 mit den Stützstreifen 53, die Anlage am Schachtelboden 12 erhalten. Diese Verformung der Faltlappen des Einsatzstücks 41 kann durch ein Falt- bzw. Formwerkzeug erfolgen oder - wie in Fig. 12 gezeigt - durch Einführung des Zigarettenblocks bzw. der Zigarettengruppe 27 in den Schachtelteil 10. Danach wird in einem abschließenden Faltvorgang die Verschlussfolie 46 in die Schließposition gebracht unter Verbindung mit den Wandungen des Einsatzstücks 41 in der beschriebenen Weise.The thus formed blank is in a first folding step in the position according to Fig. 10 folded, in which the blank or the insert 41 has a cap-shaped, only open at the bottom. In this Zwischenfaltstellung the insert 41 is inserted into the pack, namely in the open box part 10 (FIG. Fig. 12 ). Thereafter, the insert 41 in the end position according to Fig. 11 folded, by moving down the trained as a free wing walls 43 with the support strips 53, the system received at the box bottom 12. This deformation of the folding tabs of the insert 41 can be done by a folding or molding tool or - as in Fig. 12 Then, in a final folding operation, the sealing film 46 is brought into the closed position in connection with the walls of the insert 41 in the manner described.

Die Einsatzstücke 33 und/oder 41 der beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiele können jeweils innerhalb eines Rahmens 22 des Schachtelteils 10 angeordnet sein. Sie können aber auch den Rahmen vollständig ersetzen. Weiterhin können die Kappenschachteln fabrikmäßig soweit vorbereitet sein, dass die Einsatzstücke 33, 41 bei der fabrikmäßigen Fertigung der Packung in diese eingesetzt und demnach fertige Kappenschachteln mit Einsatzstück der Verpackungsmaschine für die Zigaretten zur Verfügung gestellt werden.The inserts 33 and / or 41 of the described embodiments can each be arranged within a frame 22 of the box part 10. But you can also completely replace the frame. Furthermore, the cap boxes can be factory prepared to the extent that the inserts 33, 41 are used in the factory production of the package in this and thus finished cap boxes are provided with insert of the packaging machine for the cigarettes available.

Anstelle eines gesonderten Einsatzstücks kann auch ein in herkömmlicher oder modifizierter Weise ausgebildeter Rahmen 22 zur Befestigung eines Verschlussfolie oder einer Verschlusslasche dienen.Instead of a separate insert piece, a frame 22 designed in a conventional or modified manner can also be used to fasten a closure film or a closure flap.

Ein derartiges Ausführungsbeispiel ist in Fig. 13 bis Fig. 16 gezeigt. Das Verschlusselement bzw. die Verschlussfolie 28 ist hier Teil einer größeren Folienabdeckung 56. Diese besteht aus der Verschlussfolie 28, hier in der Flächengröße entsprechend dem Schachtelteil 10, und randseitigen Verbindungslaschen, nämlich Längslaschen 57 sowie Querlaschen 58, 59. Diese sind an der Unterseite bzw. an der dem Schachtelteil 10 zugekehrten Seite mit Leim versehen, nämlich mit Leimstreifen 60 etwa entsprechend Länge und Breite der Laschen 57, 58, 59. Die Längslaschen 57 sind bei der verpackungsgemäßen Positionierung der Folienabdeckung 56 (Fig. 14) gegen die Rahmen-Längswände 23 bzw. deren freien Rahmenteil 25 gefaltet und mit diesem durch die Leimstreifen 60 verbunden. Die dem_Deckel 11 zugekehrte_Querlasche 58 ist mit der Rahmen-Querwand 24 am Deckel 11 und die Querlasche 59 außen mit der Rahmen-Querwand 24 gegenüberliegend zum Deckel 11 verbunden. Die Querlasche 59 ist so ausgebildet, dass außerdem des Bereichs des Leimstreifens 60 die Grifflasche 32 gebildet ist, die in Ausgangsstellung nach oben umgefaltet und so von dem verschlossenen Deckel 11 verdeckt ist (Fig. 14).Such an embodiment is in FIGS. 13 to 16 shown. Here, the closure element or the closure film 28 is part of a larger film cover 56. This consists of the closure film 28, here in the area size corresponding to the box part 10, and edge - side connecting straps, namely longitudinal straps 57 and transverse straps 58, 59 provided with glue at the side facing the box part 10, namely with glue strips 60 corresponding approximately to the length and width of the flaps 57, 58, 59. The longitudinal flaps 57 are in the packaging positioning of the film cover 56 (FIG. Fig. 14 ) folded against the frame longitudinal walls 23 and the free frame part 25 and connected thereto by the glue strips 60. The dem_Deckel 11 facing_Querlasche 58 is connected to the frame transverse wall 24 on the lid 11 and the transverse tab 59 on the outside with the frame transverse wall 24 opposite to the lid 11. The transverse flap 59 is designed such that, in addition, the area of the glue strip 60 is formed by the grip tab 32, which is folded upwards in the initial position and thus hidden by the closed lid 11 (FIG. Fig. 14 ).

Im Bereich der Längslaschen 57 ist die Verschlussfolie 28 aus dem Verbund mit der Folienabdeckung 56 heraustrennbar, und zwar durch Schwächungs- bzw. Perforationslinien 61. Beim erstmaligen Öffnen der Packung wird demnach die Grifflasche 32 erfasst, die Querlasche 59 von der Rahmen-Querwand 24 abgezogen und sodann die Verschlussfolie 28 entlang den Perforationslinien 61 herausgetrennt, und zwar bis zur gegenüberliegenden Rahmen-Querwand mit der Querlasche 58, die ebenfalls in Verbindung bleibt mit dem Rahmen 22. Beim Wiederverschließen wird die Querlasche 59 mit der frontseitigen Rahmen-Querwand 24 über den Leimstreifen 60 wieder verbunden. Im Bereich der Perforationslinien 61, also an den Längsseiten, bleibt ein Spalt als Begrenzung der Verschlussfolie 28. Die Längslaschen 57 und die Querlasche 58 sind demnach dauerhaft mit dem Schachtelteil bzw. dem Rahmen 22 verbunden.In the region of the longitudinal straps 57, the closure film 28 can be separated out of the composite with the film cover 56, namely by weakening or perforation lines 61. When the package is opened for the first time, the grip tab 32 is grasped, the transverse tab 59 being pulled off the frame transverse wall 24 and then the closure sheet 28 is severed along the lines of perforation 61 to the opposite frame transverse wall with the cross-bar 58 which also remains in contact with the frame 22. Upon reclosure, the cross-tab 59 engages the front frame transverse wall 24 over the glue strip 60 reconnected. In the area of the perforation lines 61, that is to say on the longitudinal sides, there remains a gap as the boundary of the closure film 28. The longitudinal flaps 57 and the transverse flap 58 are therefore permanently connected to the box part or the frame 22.

Der Packungsinhalt bzw. die Zigarettengruppe 27 kann von einer zusätzlichen, insbesondere dichten Umhüllung umgeben sein, nämlich durch einen Innenzuschnitt 62 aus Stanniol oder dergleichen. Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 13 ist der Innenzuschnitt 62 streifenförmig ausgebildet, umgibt demnach die Zigarettengruppe 27 nicht im Bereich von Längsseiten der Packung. An der Oberseite, also im Bereich der Verschlussfolie 28, sind zwei einander teilweise überdeckende Zuschnittlappen 63, 64 des Innenzuschnitts 62 vorgesehen, die beim Schließen der Verschlussfolie 28 ebenfalls selbsttätig in die Schließstellung gelangen.The package contents or the cigarette group 27 may be surrounded by an additional, in particular tight envelope, namely by an inner cut 62 made of tinfoil or the like. In the embodiment according to Fig. 13 If the inner blank 62 is strip-shaped, therefore, the cigarette group 27 does not surround in the region of longitudinal sides of the pack. At the upper side, that is to say in the region of the sealing film 28, there are two partially overlapping blanking tabs 63, 64 of the inner blank 62 provided, which also automatically enter the closed position when closing the sealing film 28.

Bei der Fertigung einer derartigen Kappenschachtel wird entsprechend Fließbild der Fig. 16 eine Einheit aus Zigarettengruppe 27 und Innenzuschnitt 62 in die offene Kappenschachtel bzw. in den Schachtelteil 10 eingeführt.
