Definitions

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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
  • Wall 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
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • FIG. 5 shows a cross section of the package according to FIG. 4 in the sectional plane VV, on an enlarged scale
  • FIG. 6 shows a cross-section analogous to FIG. 5 in the sectional plane VI-VI of FIG. 4 without cigarettes
  • FIG. 5 shows a cross section of the package according to FIG. 4 in the sectional plane VV, on an enlarged scale
  • FIG. 6 shows a cross-section analogous to FIG. 5 in the sectional plane VI-VI of FIG. 4 without cigarettes
  • FIG. 7 shows a partial cross-section of the pack with dimension mark
  • FIG. 8 shows a representation analogous to FIG. 7 with registered dimension lines and a calculation formula.
  • a collar 13 is arranged within the pack. 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 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.
  • the side walls 24, 25 are therefore formed symmetrically with respect to a (imaginary) median plane of the pack.
  • the middle wall section 29 is transversely directed, namely transversely to the front wall 17, 22 or to the rear wall 19, 20.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the cigarette group is expediently surrounded by an inner blank 52 made of paper, tinfoil or the like.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 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.
  • 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.
  • the width x of a wall section 27, 28 is to be calculated as follows:
  • the 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.
