Beschreibungdescription
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Zigarettenpackung des Typs Hinge Lid, mit einem Schachtelteil, einem Deckel und einem vorzugsweise aus einem gesonderten Zuschnitt bestehenden Kragen, wobei aus einander teilweise überdeckenden Seitenlappen bestehende Schachtel-Seitenwände und Deckel-Seitenwände durch polygonartig aneinander schließende Wandabschnitte gebildet sind, die symmetrisch in Bezug auf eine (gedachte) Mittelebene der Packung angeordnet sind.The invention relates to a cigarette packet of the Hinge Lid type, with a box part, a lid and a preferably made of a separate blank collar, which consists of mutually partially overlapping side lobes existing box side walls and lid side walls by polygonal-like closing wall sections which are symmetrical are arranged with respect to an (imaginary) median plane of the pack.
Bekannt ist eine Zigarettenpackung des vorgenannten Typs mit abgeschrägten (aufrechten) Packungskanten, sodass die Packung eine insgesamt achteckige Kontur aufweist (EP 0 204 933). Die schräggerichteten Materialstreifen im Bereich der Packungskanten sind an die Abmessung der Zigaretten angepasst und schmal im Verhältnis zu einem quergerichteten, mittleren Materialstreifen.A cigarette pack of the aforementioned type with bevelled (upright) packing edges is known, so that the pack has an overall octagonal contour (EP 0 204 933). The oblique material strips in the region of the pack edges are adapted to the dimensions of the cigarettes and narrow in relation to a transverse, middle strip of material.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine neuartige Packung vorzuschlagen, bei der eine verbesserte Anpassung der Außenkontur an die Form des Packungsinhalts, nämlich an einen Zigarettenblock gegeben ist, wobei die maschinelle Herstellbarkeit der Packung und auch deren Handhabbarkeit durch den Verbraucher gewährleistet sind.The invention has for its object to provide a novel package in which an improved adaptation of the outer contour of the shape of the package contents, namely given to a cigarette block, the machinability of the pack and also their handling by the consumer are guaranteed.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist die erfindungsgemäße Klappschachtel dadurch gekenn- zeichnet, dass die Seitenwände des Schachtelteils und des Deckels aus mindestens fünfTo solve this problem, the folding box according to the invention is characterized in that the side walls of the box part and the lid of at least five
Wandabschnitten bestehen, von denen ein mittlerer Wandabschnitt quer zur Vorderseite bzw. Rückseite der Packung weist und mindestens je zwei Wandabschnitte zu beidenWall sections consist, of which a central wall portion transverse to the front or back of the pack and at least two wall sections to both
Seiten des mittleren Wandabschnitts gebildet sind, die unter einem spitzen Außenwinkel zueinander, zum mittleren Wandabschnitt und zur Vorderseite und Rückseite der Packung gerichtet sind. Eine im äußeren Erscheinungsbild ansprechende, maschinell herstellbare und hinsichtlich der Haptik optimale Kontur der Packung sieht vor, dass die Seitenwände von Schachtelteil und Deckel aus fünf Wandabschnitten bestehen, die die gleiche Breite aufweisen und unter gleichen (Außen-)Winkeln zueinander angeordnet sind, insbesondere jeweils unter einem Winkel von 30°.Sides of the central wall portion are formed, which are directed at an acute external angle to each other, the middle wall portion and the front and back of the pack. An outer appearance appealing, machinable and optimal in terms of feel contour of the pack provides that the side walls of the box part and cover of five wall sections which have the same width and are arranged at equal (external) angles to each other, in particular in each case at an angle of 30 °.
Eine weitere Besonderheit der erfindungsgemäßen Packung besteht darin, dass einander überdeckende und miteinander verbundene Randbereiche der Seitenlappen von Schachtelteil und Deckel einander nicht vollflächig überdecken, sondern mit leichtem Ver- satz, sodass eine freie Kante des außenliegenden Randiappens zurückgesetzt ist gegenüber einer unmittelbar benachbarten Faltkante.Another special feature of the package according to the invention is that overlapping and interconnected edge regions of the side flaps of the box part and cover do not cover each other over the entire surface, but with slight misalignment, so that a free edge of the outer Randiappens is set back against an immediately adjacent folding edge.
Der aus einem eigenständigen Zuschnitt bestehende Kragen ist an die Kontur der Packung angepasst durch Bildung von polygonartig geformten Kragen-Seitenlappen, ein- schließlich eines Randstegs im Bereich eines der Rückseite der Packung zugekehrten Wandstreifens.The self-contained collar is conformed to the contour of the package by forming polygonal collar side flaps, including an edge ridge in the region of a wall panel facing the back of the package.
Weiterhin sind Ecklappen der Packung, nämlich Bodenecklappen und Stirn-Ecklappen mit besonderer Kontur ausgebildet und im Bereich der Randstreifen mit den Seitenlappen verbunden. Die Stellung der Ecklappen ist so gewählt, dass bei fertiger Packung die polygonartige Außenkontur der Ecklappen stützend an Teilbereichen der Seitenwand anliegt.Furthermore, corner lobes of the pack, namely Bodenecklappen and end-corner lobes are formed with a special contour and connected in the edge strips with the side lobes. The position of the corner lobes is chosen so that in the case of the finished pack, the polygonal outer contour of the corner lugs rests supportingly on partial areas of the side wall.

Es geht um die äußere Form und konstruktive Ausbildung einer Zigarettenpackung des Typs Klappschachtel bzw. Hinge Lid. Es entspricht dem Standardaufbau dieses Packungstyps, dass ein (unterer) Schachtelteil 10 und ein Deckel 11 im rückseitigen Bereich der Packung durch ein Liniengelenk 12 schwenkbar miteinander verbunden sind. Der Deckel 11 kann zwischen einer Schließstellung gemäß Fig. 4 und einer Öffnungsstellung gemäß Fig. 3 bewegt werden. Schachtelteil 10 und Deckel 11 bilden eine Einheit.It is about the external shape and constructive design of a cigarette pack of the type folding box or Hinge Lid. It corresponds to the standard construction of this packing type that a (lower) box part 10 and a lid 11 in the rear area of the package are pivotally connected to each other by a line joint 12. The lid 11 can be moved between a closed position according to FIG. 4 and an open position according to FIG. 3. Box part 10 and lid 11 form a unit.
Innerhalb der Packung ist ein Kragen 13 angeordnet. Dieser besteht aus einer Kragen- Vorderwand 14 und Kragen-Seitenlappen 15, 16. Der Kragen 13 ist mit einem unteren Verankerungsbereich im Schachtelteil 10 verankert, insbesondere durch Klebung. Ein oberer Bereich des Kragens 13 ist vom Deckel 11 in dessen Schließstellung umfasst.Within the pack, a collar 13 is arranged. This consists of a collar front wall 14 and collar side tabs 15, 16. The collar 13 is anchored to a lower anchoring area in the box part 10, in particular by gluing. An upper portion of the collar 13 is covered by the lid 11 in its closed position.
Schachtelteil 10 und Deckel 11 bestehen aus einem einstückigen Zuschnitt, insbesondere in der Ausführung gemäß Fig. 1. Der Zuschnitt ist nach dem Prinzip der Längsfaltung aufgebaut mit aufeinanderfolgenden Bereichen für eine Schachtel-Vorderwand 17, Bodenwand 18, Schachtel-Rückwand 19, Deckel-Rückwand 20, Stirnwand 21 , Deckel-Vorderwand 22 und Deckel-Innenlappen 23. Das Liniengelenk 12 ist zwischen Schachtel-Rückwand 19 und Deckel-Rückwand 20 gebildet.Box part 10 and cover 11 consist of a one-piece blank, in particular in the embodiment of FIG. 1. The blank is constructed on the principle of longitudinal folding with successive areas for a box front wall 17, bottom wall 18, box rear wall 19, lid rear wall 20, end wall 21, cover front wall 22 and cover inner tabs 23. The line joint 12 is formed between the box rear wall 19 and lid rear wall 20.
In besonderer Weise sind Seitenwände der Packung ausgebildet, nämlich Schachtel- Seitenwände 24 und Deckel-Seitenwände 25. Die einander gegenüberliegenden Schachtel-Seitenwände 24 sind übereinstimmend ausgebildet. Gleiches gilt für die Deckel-Seitenwände 25, die hinsichtlich der Kontur mit den Schachtel-Seitenwänden 24 übereinstimmen.In a special way, side walls of the package are formed, namely box side walls 24 and lid side walls 25. The opposing box side walls 24 are formed coincident. The same applies to the lid side walls 25, which coincide with respect to the contour with the box side walls 24.
Die Seitenwände 24, 25 sind als nach außen gerichteter Polygonzug ausgebildet mit mehreren unter einem spitzen (Außen-)Winkel 26 zueinander gerichteten streifenförmigen Wandabschnitten 27, 28, 29. Vorteilhafterweise sind alle Wandabschnitte 27..29 mit glei- eher Breite ausgebildet und unter gleichen Winkeln zueinander gerichtet, wobei hinsichtlich des mittleren Wandabschnitts 29 eine besondere Ausführung gilt. Die Seitenwände 24, 25 sind demnach symmetrisch ausgebildet im Bezug auf eine (gedachte) Mittelebene der Packung.The side walls 24, 25 are designed as outwardly directed traverse with a plurality of pointed (outer) angle 26 directed towards each other strip-shaped wall sections 27, 28, 29. Advantageously, all wall sections 27..29 with the same rather width formed and directed at equal angles to each other, with respect to the central wall portion 29 a special design applies. The side walls 24, 25 are therefore formed symmetrically with respect to a (imaginary) median plane of the pack.
Der mittlere Wandabschnitt 29 ist quergerichtet, nämlich quer zur Vorderwand 17, 22 bzw. zur Rückwand 19, 20. Im Bereich des Wandabschnitts 29 sind Seitenlappen des Zuschnitts, nämlich frontseitige Schachtel-Seitenlappen 30 und der Schachtel-Rückwand 19 zugeordnete Seitenlappen 31 miteinander verbunden, insbesondere durch Klebung. Glei- chermaßen sind vordere Deckel-Seitenlappen 32 mit rückwärtigen Seitenlappen 34 im Bereich des Deckels miteinander verbunden. Die Seitenlappen 30..33 sind mit zugeordneten Vorder- und Rückwänden der Packung verbunden, nämlich mit Schachtel-Vorderwand 17, Schachtel-Rückwand 19, Deckel-Rückwand 20 und Deckel-Rückwand 22. Die Seitenlappen 30..33 sind hinsichtlich der Abmessungen und Gestaltung auf die Form der Seitenwände 24, 25 ausgerichtet. Jeder Seitenlappen 30..33 ist in mehrere, hier in drei Materialstreifen aufgeteilt, nämlich zur Bildung der Wandabschnitte 27, 28 und mit einem randseitigen Außenabschnitt 34 sowie einem außenliegenden Randabschnitt 34 und einem innenliegenden Randabschnitt 35 im Bereich aller Seitenlappen 30..33. Die Materialstreifen 27, 28 sowie 34, 35 sind im Bereich der Seitenlappen 30..33 durch eine entspre- chende Anzahl paralleler Faltlinien 36 markiert. Es handelt sich dabei insbesondere um Prägelinien, gegebenenfalls aber auch um Materialschwächungen durch oberflächige Perforationen etc. Die Faltlinien 36 sind so ausgebildet, dass sie bei der fertigen Packung jeweils ausgeprägte Faltkanten 37 definieren.The middle wall section 29 is transversely directed, namely transversely to the front wall 17, 22 or to the rear wall 19, 20. In the region of the wall section 29 side tabs of the blank, namely front box side tabs 30 and the box rear wall 19 associated side tabs 31 are interconnected, in particular by gluing. Likewise, front lid side flaps 32 are connected to rear side flaps 34 in the region of the lid. The side flaps 30..33 are associated with associated front and rear walls of the package, namely with box front wall 17, box rear wall 19, lid rear wall 20 and lid rear wall 22. The side tabs 30..33 are in terms of dimensions and Design aligned to the shape of the side walls 24, 25. Each side flap 30..33 is divided into several, here in three strips of material, namely the formation of the wall sections 27, 28 and with an outer edge portion 34 and an outer edge portion 34 and an inner edge portion 35 in the region of all side flaps 30..33. The material strips 27, 28 and 34, 35 are marked in the region of the side tabs 30... 33 by a corresponding number of parallel fold lines 36. These are in particular embossing lines, but possibly also material weakening due to surface perforations, etc. The fold lines 36 are designed so that they each define pronounced fold edges 37 in the finished package.
Die Randschenkel 34, 35 sind vorzugsweise in der selben Breite ausgebildet wie die Wandabschnitte 27, 28. Bei vollflächiger, exakter Überdeckung der einander zugeordneten Randschenkel 34, 35 ergibt sich ein (doppellagiger) mittlerer Wandabschnitt 29, der die selbe Breite aufweist wie die Wandabschnitte 27, 28. Bei dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Randschenkel 34, 35 mit geringem Versatz zueinander positioniert, sodass eine freie Randkante 38 des äußeren Randschenkels 34 gegenüber einer benachbarten Faltkante 37 geringfügig zurückgesetzt ist, derart, dass die Randkante 38 nicht über eine (gedachte) Ebene in Fortsetzung der Ebene des benachbarten Wandabschnitts 28 hinaus ragt (strichpunktierte Linie in Fig. 6). Der mittlere Wandabschnitt 29 hat dadurch eine größere Breite als die benachbarten Wandabschnitte 27, 28. Eine weitere Besonderheit ist die Ausbildung von Ecklappen. Boden-Ecklappen 39 sind an den innenliegenden Randschenkeln 35 der Schachtel-Seitenwände 24 und Deckel- Ecklappen 40 an den entsprechenden inneren Randschenkeln 35 der Deckel-Seiten- wände 25 angeordnet. Die Ecklappen 39, 40 liegen an den zugeordneten Querwänden an, nämlich einerseits innenseitig an der Bodenwand 18 und andererseits an der Stirnwand 21. Die Ecklappen 39, 40 sind übereinstimmend in besonderer Form ausgebildet. Eine bei dem ungefalteten Zuschnitt nach außen gerichtete Lappenkante 41 weist eine polygonartige Kontur auf mit drei an eine quergerichtete Faltlinie 42 anschließenden Kantenabschnitten, deren Abmessung an die Abmessungen der Wandabschnitte 27, 28 angepasst sind. Ein Kantenabschnitt 43 liegt an der Schachtel-Vorderwand 17 bzw. an der Deckel-Vorderwand 22 innenseitig an. Die benachbarten Kantenabschnitte 44 liegen jeweils an der Packungsvorderseite zugekehrten Wandabschnitten 27, 28 an. Die Ecklappen 39, 40 bewirken eine zusätzliche Stabilisierung der Packung im Bereich der Seiten- wände 24, 25.The edge legs 34, 35 are preferably formed in the same width as the wall portions 27, 28. In full-surface, exact coverage of the associated edge legs 34, 35 results in a (double-layered) middle wall portion 29, which has the same width as the wall portions 27th , 28. In the embodiment shown, the edge legs 34, 35 are positioned with a slight offset to each other, so that a free edge 38 of the outer edge leg 34 is slightly set against an adjacent folding edge 37, such that the peripheral edge 38 does not have a (imaginary) plane in continuation of the plane of the adjacent wall portion 28 also protrudes (dash-dotted line in Fig. 6). The middle wall section 29 thereby has a greater width than the adjacent wall sections 27, 28. Another special feature is the training of corner lobes. Bottom corner tabs 39 are arranged on the inner edge legs 35 of the box side walls 24 and cover corner tabs 40 on the corresponding inner edge legs 35 of the lid side walls 25. The corner tabs 39, 40 abut the associated transverse walls, namely on the one hand on the inside of the bottom wall 18 and on the other hand on the end wall 21. The corner tabs 39, 40 are consistently formed in a particular shape. A flap edge 41 directed outwards in the unfolded blank has a polygonal-like contour with three edge sections adjoining a transverse fold line 42 whose dimensions are adapted to the dimensions of the wall sections 27, 28. An edge portion 43 abuts on the box front wall 17 and on the lid front wall 22 on the inside. The adjacent edge portions 44 abut respectively on the package front side facing wall portions 27, 28. The corner tabs 39, 40 bring about additional stabilization of the pack in the area of the side walls 24, 25.
Der Kragen 13, dessen Kragen-Vorderwand 14 innenseitig an der Schachtel-Vorderwand 17 anliegt, ist im Bereich der Kragen-Seitenlappen 15, 16 so ausgebildet, dass eine passende, formschlüssige Anlage an der Innenseite der Schachtel-Seitenwände 24 und bei geschlossener Packung an den Deckel-Seitenwände 25 gegeben ist. Die Deckel-Seitenlappen 15, 16 sind mit Faltlinien 45 versehen, insbesondere mit Präge- oder Perforationslinien, die eine polygonartige Faltung der Kragen-Seitenlappen 15, 16 bewirken. Die dadurch gebildeten Materialstreifen liegen passend an der Innenseite der Wandabschnitte 27, 28, 29 des Schachtelteils 10 an (Fig. 5). Die Kragen-Seitenlappen 15, 16 sind so be- messen, dass sie sich über die Mitte der Packung hinaus bzw. über die mittleren Wandabschnitte 29 hinaus erstrecken, nämlich mit einem Randstreifen 46 im Bereich des der Rückseite der Packung zugeordneten Wandabschnitts 28. Ein Schließhilfsmittel, nämlich eine im Wesentlichen durch C-förmige Stanzung gebildete Lasche 47 ist nicht im Bereich einer innenseitigen, an die Kragen-Vorderwand 14 anschließenden Faltlinie 45 bzw. im Bereich einer durch diese gebildeten Faltkante angeordnet, sondern im Bereich einer benachbarten Faltlinie (Fig. 2). Dadurch ist diese Schließhilfe gegenüber der Frontseite der Packung zurückgesetzt (Fig. 3). Die unteren und oberen Packungswände, nämlich Bodenwand 18 und Stirnwand 21 , sind an die Kontur der Packung angepasst. Beide Wandungen 18, 21 weisen freie Ränder auf, die als gleichförmiges Polygon ausgebildet sind, bestehend aus fünf Kantenstücken 48. Form, Anordnung und Abmessung dieser Kantenstücke 48 entsprechend der Kontur der Seitenwände 24, 25. Die Kantenstücke 48 bzw. die gesamte freie Kante der Packungswände 18, 21 stoßen stumpf gegen die zugeordneten freien oberen und unteren Ränder der Wandabschnitte 27, 28, 29.The collar 13, the collar front wall 14 rests against the inside of the box front wall 17, is formed in the region of the collar side tabs 15, 16 so that a matching, positive fit on the inside of the box side walls 24 and in the closed package the lid side walls 25 is given. The lid side flaps 15, 16 are provided with fold lines 45, in particular with embossing or perforation lines, which cause a polygonal folding of the collar side flaps 15, 16. The material strips formed thereby are fitting on the inside of the wall sections 27, 28, 29 of the box part 10 (FIG. 5). The collar side flaps 15, 16 are dimensioned such that they extend beyond the middle of the package or beyond the middle wall sections 29, namely with an edge strip 46 in the region of the wall section 28 assigned to the rear side of the package. A closing aid A tab 47 formed essentially by a C-shaped punching is not arranged in the region of an inside fold line 45 adjoining the collar front wall 14 or in the region of a fold edge formed by it, but in the region of an adjacent fold line (FIG ). As a result, this closing aid is set back relative to the front side of the pack (FIG. 3). The lower and upper packing walls, namely bottom wall 18 and end wall 21, are adapted to the contour of the pack. Both walls 18, 21 have free edges, which are formed as a uniform polygon, consisting of five edge pieces 48. Form, arrangement and dimension of these edge pieces 48 corresponding to the contour of the side walls 24, 25. The edge pieces 48 and the entire free edge of Packing walls 18, 21 butt against the associated free upper and lower edges of the wall sections 27, 28, 29th
Packungsinhalt ist eine Gruppe von Zigaretten 49. Diese sind in besonderer Weise for- miert unter Anpassung an die Kontur der Packung. Die Zigaretten 49 sind in quergerichteten Reihen 50, 51 angeordnet, wobei die randseitige Reihe 50, die den Seitenwänden 24, 25 der Packung zugekehrt ist, besteht aus zwei nebeneinanderliegenden Zigaretten und die benachbarte Reihe 51 aus drei Zigaretten. Die Zigaretten 49 benachbarter Reihen 50, 51 sind versetzt zueinander ausgerichtet, also "in Sattellage". Möglich ist auch eine Formation mit drei bzw. 4 Zigaretten 49 je Reihe 50, 51 bei entsprechender Abmessung der Packung.The contents of the pack are a group of cigarettes 49. These are specially shaped to conform to the contour of the pack. The cigarettes 49 are arranged in transverse rows 50, 51, wherein the peripheral row 50, which faces the side walls 24, 25 of the pack, consists of two adjacent cigarettes and the adjacent row 51 of three cigarettes. The cigarettes 49 of adjacent rows 50, 51 are offset from one another, ie "in a saddle position". It is also possible a formation with three or 4 cigarettes 49 per row 50, 51 with appropriate dimension of the pack.
Die Zigaretten 49 sind in einer die Stabilisierung der Packung stärkenden Formation angeordnet. Die beiden Zigaretten 49 der äußeren Reihe 50 liegen an Wandabschnitten 28 an, benachbart zum mittleren Wandabschnitt 29. Die äußeren Zigaretten 49 der benachbarten Reihe 51 liegen an den Vorderwänden 17, 22 einerseits und den Rückwänden 19, 20 andererseits an, und zwar in einem Bereich benachbart zum randseitigen Wandabschnitt 27. Weitere Reihen 51 aus drei nebeneinanderliegenden Zigaretten 49 sind im mittleren Bereich der Packung gebildet, bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 5 zu beiden Seiten einer (gedachten) mittleren Querebene.The cigarettes 49 are arranged in a pack stabilizing formation. The two cigarettes 49 of the outer row 50 abut against wall portions 28, adjacent to the central wall portion 29. The outer cigarettes 49 of the adjacent row 51 abut the front walls 17, 22 on the one hand and the rear walls 19, 20 on the other hand, in one area adjacent rows 51 of three juxtaposed cigarettes 49 are formed in the central region of the pack, in the embodiment of FIG. 5 on both sides of an (imaginary) central transverse plane.
Die Zigarettengruppe ist zweckmäßiger Weise von einem Innenzuschnitt 52 aus Papier, Stanniol oder dergleichen umgeben.The cigarette group is expediently surrounded by an inner blank 52 made of paper, tinfoil or the like.
Die der Gestaltung der Packung im Bereich der Seitenwände 24, 25 zugrunde liegenden Geometrie ist in Fig. 7 und Fig. 8 anhand des vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiels erläutert. Danach ergibt sich eine Wechselbeziehung zwischen den mit x bezeichneten Breite der Wandabschnitte 27, 28, 29 einerseits und deren Neigungswinkel 26. Für die dargestellte Ausführung beträgt dieser Winkel 26 30°. Hieraus ergibt sich ein Radialwinkel 53 gleicher Größe. Dieser definiert den Winkelabstand zwischen gedachten radialen Ebenen von Faltkante 37 zu Faltkante 37 eines Wandabschnitts 27..29. Des Weiteren kehrt der gleichgroße Radialwinkel 53 zwischen gedachten radialen Mittelebenen benachbarter Wandabschnitte auf (Fig. 8). Die Abmessungen und Winkelstellung der Wandabschnitte 27..29 stehen auch in einem Verhältnis zum Durchmesser d der Zigaretten 49.The geometry underlying the configuration of the package in the region of the side walls 24, 25 is explained in FIGS. 7 and 8 on the basis of the present exemplary embodiment. Thereafter, there is a correlation between the width of the wall sections 27, 28, 29, designated on the one hand, and their inclination angle 26. For the embodiment shown, this angle 26 is 30 °. This results in a radial angle 53 same size. This defines the angular distance between imaginary radial planes from folding edge 37 to folding edge 37 of a wall section 27..29. Furthermore, the equal radial angle 53 between imaginary radial center planes of adjacent wall sections (FIG. 8). The dimensions and angular position of the wall sections 27..29 are also in a ratio to the diameter d of the cigarettes 49.
Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel in Fig. 7, Fig. 8 ist darüber hinaus der Versatz y der Randschenkel 34, 35 im Bereich des mittleren Wandabschnitts 29 berücksichtigt. Dieser Versatz y steht im Verhältnis zur Dicke t des Verpackungsmaterials, also insbesondere des Kartons. Unter Berücksichtigung dieser vorgegebenen Größen ist die Breite x eines Wandabschnitts 27, 28 wie folgt zu berechnen:In the exemplary embodiment in FIGS. 7, 8, the offset y of the edge limbs 34, 35 in the region of the central wall section 29 is also taken into account. This offset y is in relation to the thickness t of the packaging material, ie in particular of the carton. Taking into account these predetermined variables, the width x of a wall section 27, 28 is to be calculated as follows:
y= tan 30° x = f ( d,t ) x = 3d + 2t-- 1 • ♦ tan ( -30' tan 300J ^ 2y = tan 30 ° x = f (d, t) x = 3d + 2t-- 1 • ♦ tan (-30 'tan 30 0 J ^ 2
Der Versatz y wiederholt sich innerhalb der Packung, wenn den Wandabschnitten 27, 28, 29 Innenkreise 54, 55 als (gedachte) Größe zugeordnet werden. Die Innenkreise 54, 55, an denen die Wandabschnitte 27, 28, 29 exakt tangential anliegen, sind hinsichtlich des Kreismittelpunkts versetzt zueinander aufgrund des Versatzes y einerseits und der Materialstärke t andererseits. Durch diese geometrischen Wechselbeziehungen kann die ex- akte Form der Packung bzw. der Seitenwände 24, 25 in Abhängigkeit von variablen Größen wie Materialstärke t, Durchmesser der Zigaretten d bestimmt werden, um die besondere Polygonal-Form der Seitenwände darzustellen. BezugszeichenlisteThe offset y repeats within the package when the inner wall portions 54, 55 are assigned to the wall portions 27, 28, 29 as (imaginary) sizes. The inner circles 54, 55, on which the wall sections 27, 28, 29 abut exactly tangential, are offset with respect to the circle center to each other due to the offset y on the one hand and the material thickness t on the other. By means of these geometrical correlations, the exact shape of the package or the side walls 24, 25 can be determined as a function of variable variables, such as material thickness t, diameter of the cigarettes d, in order to represent the special polygonal shape of the side walls.
