Bei der in Fig. 1 beispielshaft dargestellten Zigarettenpackung handelt es sich um eine Klappschachtel, die in der Hauptsache aus einem unteren Schachtelteil 10 und einem Deckel 11 besteht. Weiterhin ist ein Kragen 12 Bestandteil der Klappschachtel. Der Kragen 12 ist aus einem gesonderten Zuschnitt aus dünnem Karton oder dergleichen gebildet und weist eine in typischer Weise gestaltete Kragen-Vorderwand 13 sowie Kragen-Seitenlappen 14 auf. Der Kragen 12 ist im Schachtelteil 10 angeordnet und mit einem unteren Teilbereich innenseitig an einer Schachtel-Vorderwand 15 und/oder an Schachtel-Seitenwänden 16 durch Klebung befestigt. Ein oberer Teilbereich des Kragens 12 ragt aus dem Schachtelteil 10 heraus und liegt innerhalb des Deckels 11 bei geschlossener Stellung desselben. Als Packungsinhalt ist eine Gruppe von Zigaretten vorgesehen, die von einem Innenzuschnitt aus Papier oder Stanniol umgeben ist und so einen den Innenraum der Klappschachtel ausfüllenden Zigarettenblock 17 bildet.At the in Fig. 1 exemplified cigarette pack is a folding box, which consists mainly of a lower box part 10 and a lid 11. Furthermore, a collar 12 is part of the folding box. The collar 12 is formed of a separate blank of thin paperboard or the like and has a collar front wall 13 and collar side flaps 14, typically configured. The collar 12 is arranged in the box part 10 and secured with a lower portion inside on a box front wall 15 and / or on box side walls 16 by gluing. An upper portion of the collar 12 protrudes from the box part 10 and is within the lid 11 in the closed position thereof. As package contents, a group of cigarettes is provided which is surrounded by an inner blank made of paper or tin foil and thus forms a cigarette block 17 filling the interior of the folding box.

Eine Besonderheit der gezeigten Packung besteht darin, dass diese gerundete aufrechte Packungskanten 18 aufweist und der Kragen 12 entsprechend gerundete Kragenkanten 19.A peculiarity of the package shown is that this rounded upright packaging edges 18 and the collar 12 has correspondingly rounded collar edges 19th

Der Kragen 12, und zwar bei dem vorliegenden Beispiel die Kragen-Vorderwand 13, ist mit einem Aufdruck 20, 21 versehen. Dieser ist (ausschließlich) durch Prägen, also durch Verformung des Materials des Kragens 12, angebracht. Inhaltlich besteht der Aufdruck 20 aus an den Kunden gerichtete Informationen, Werbehinweise etc. Diese sind in dem aus dem Schachtelteil 10 herausragenden Bereich des Kragens 12 bzw. der Kragen-Vorderwand 13 angebracht, nämlich oberhalb einer durch die Schachtel-Vorderwand 15 gebildeten Schließkante 22. Andere Aufdrucke 21, insbesondere Zahlen und Daten über Herstellung, Herkunft der Zigaretten, können, wie in Fig. 1 gezeigt, im verdeckten Teil des Kragens 12 angebracht sein, also unterhalb der Schließkante 22.The collar 12, in the present example the collar front wall 13, is provided with an imprint 20, 21. This is (exclusively) by embossing, so by deformation of the material of the collar 12, attached. The content of the imprint 20 is directed to the customer information, advertising information, etc. These are mounted in the protruding from the box part 10 region of the collar 12 and the collar front wall 13, namely above a formed by the box front wall 15 closing edge 22nd Other imprints 21, in particular numbers and data on production, origin of cigarettes, can, as in Fig. 1 shown to be mounted in the hidden part of the collar 12, that is below the closing edge 22nd

Eine Besonderheit ist die Herstellung der Prägungen zur Bildung des Aufdrucks 20, 21. Die Zuschnitte für den Kragen 12 werden durch Abtrennen von einer fortlaufend zugeführten Materialbahn aus dünnem Karton, nämlich einer Kragenbahn 23, hergestellt. Ein in Fig. 2 beispielshaft dargestellter Kragenapparat besteht in der Hauptsache aus einer Schneid- bzw. Stanzeinrichtung zum Abtrennen der Zuschnitte für den Kragen 12. Es handelt sich dabei um Schneidwalzen, bestehend aus einer oberhalb der Kragenbahn 23 angeordneten Messerwalze 24 und einer unterhalb der Kragenbahn 23 angeordneten Gegenwalze 25. Die Messerwalze 24 weist eine Anzahl von längs des Umfangs angeordneten Schneidmessern 26 auf. Es handelt sich dabei um stegartige Erhöhungen bzw. Vorsprünge (Fig. 4), die im Querschnitt scharfkantig auslaufend gestaltet sind. Die Schneidmesser 26 erstrecken sich über die volle Breite der Messerwalze 24 bzw. der Kragenbahn 23, so dass durch die Abrollbewegung der Messerwalze 24 jeweils durch quergerichteten Trennschnitt ein Kragen 12 hergestellt wird. Die Schneidmesser 26 sind entsprechend der Kontur des herzustellenden Kragens 12, also mit einer üblichen Vertiefung an der Oberseite und einem entsprechenden Vorsprung an der Unterseite, ausgebildet. Die Abstände der (mehreren) Schneidmesser 26 in Umfangsrichtung der Messerwalze 24 voneinander entsprechen der Abmessung eines Kragens 12 in Bewegungsrichtung.A special feature is the production of the embossing to form the imprint 20, 21. The blanks for the collar 12 are prepared by separating from a continuously fed web of thin cardboard, namely a collar web 23. An in Fig. 2 Exemplary shown collar apparatus consists in the main of a cutting or punching device for separating the blanks for the collar 12. These are cutting rollers, consisting of a collar web 23 arranged above the knife roller 24 and a collar web 23 arranged below the counter roll 25th The knife roller 24 has a number of circumferentially spaced cutting blades 26. These are web-like elevations or projections ( Fig. 4 ), which are designed sharp-edged in cross-section. The cutting blades 26 extend over the full width of the knife roller 24 and the collar web 23, so that a collar 12 is produced by the rolling movement of the knife roller 24 in each case by transverse separating cut. The cutting blades 26 are formed according to the contour of the collar 12 to be produced, that is to say with a customary depression on the upper side and a corresponding projection on the lower side. The distances of the (more) cutting blades 26 in the circumferential direction of the knife roller 24 from each other correspond to the dimension of a collar 12 in the direction of movement.

Die von der Kragenbahn 23 abgetrennten Kragen 12 werden von Vorzugwalzen 27 erfasst und einer Rundungseinheit 28 zugeführt. Diese dient der Herstellung bzw. Vorformung der gerundeten Kragenkante 19. Die Rundungseinheit 28 ist nach Maßgabe von US 5 261 209 ausgebildet.The separated from the collar web 23 collar 12 are detected by preferred rollers 27 and fed to a rounding unit 28. This serves to produce or preform the rounded collar edge 19. The rounding unit 28 is in accordance with US 5,261,209 educated.

Die Prägungen für den Aufdruck 20, 21 werden im Bereich des Kragenapparats an dem Kragen 12 bzw. an der Kragenbahn 23 angebracht. Eine Besonderheit ist die Anordnung von Prägeorganen bzw. Prägewerkzeugen 29, 30 an der Messerwalze 24. Die Prägewerkzeuge 29, 30 sind dabei so positioniert, dass bei den Drehbewegungen der Messerwalze 24 in Verbindung mit der Gegenwalze 25 der Prägedruck auf die Kragenbahn 23 bzw. den Kragen 12 übertragen wird. Die Buchstaben, Zahlen oder sonstigen Symbole sind als Vorsprünge 31 der Prägewerkzeuge 29, 30 ausgebildet und mit den äußeren Begrenzungen gegenüber Schneidkanten der Schneidmesser 26 zurückgesetzt (Fig. 4). Während bei einem Schneid- bzw. Stanzschnitt zum Abtrennen des Kragens 12 das Schneidmesser 26 vollständig durch das Material hindurchdringt, treten die Prägewerkzeuge 29, 30 bzw. deren Vorsprünge 31 nur in einen zugekehrten Teilquerschnitt der Kragenbahn 23 bzw. des Kragens 12 ein. Es wird so eine bleibende Prägung hergestellt.The embossments for the imprint 20, 21 are attached to the collar 12 and to the collar web 23 in the region of the collar apparatus. A special feature is the arrangement of embossing or embossing tools 29, 30 on the knife roller 24. The embossing tools 29, 30 are positioned so that during the rotational movements of the knife roller 24 in conjunction with the counter roll 25, the embossing pressure on the collar web 23 and the Collar 12 is transmitted. The letters, numbers or other symbols are formed as projections 31 of the embossing tools 29, 30 and reset with the outer boundaries with respect to cutting edges of the cutting blade 26 ( Fig. 4 ). While in a cutting or punching cut for separating the collar 12, the cutting blade 26 penetrates completely through the material, the embossing tools 29, 30 and their projections 31 only enter a facing partial cross section of the collar web 23 and the collar 12 a. It is produced as a permanent imprint.

Die Prägewerkzeuge 29, 30 bestehen aus einem langgestreckten Tragstück 32 mit den einseitig angebrachten Vorsprüngen 31. Die Tragstücke 32 sind in achsparallel angeordneten Ausnehmungen 33 der Messerwalze 24 angeordnet und lösbar fixiert, hier mit Befestigungsschrauben 34. Ein leichtes Auswechseln bzw. Austauschen der Prägewerkzeuge 29, 30 ist demnach möglich.The embossing tools 29, 30 consist of an elongated support piece 32 with the projections 31 mounted on one side. The support pieces 32 are arranged in axially parallel recesses 33 of the knife roller 24 and releasably fixed, here with fastening screws 34. A simple replacement or replacement of the embossing tools 29, 30 is therefore possible.

Die Relativstellung der Prägewerkzeuge 29, 30 in Bezug auf die Schneidmesser 26 ist so gewählt, dass die in Fig. 1 gezeigte Relativstellung der unterschiedlichen Prägungen bzw. Aufdrucke 20, 21 erzielt wird. Dies bedeutet, dass das Prägewerkzeug 29 für den außerhalb des Schachtelteils 10 positionierten Aufdruck 20 benachbart zu einer Ausbuchtung im Schneidmesser 26 für den in Förderrichtung rückwärtigen Trennschnitt angeordnet ist (Fig. 3). Das andere Prägewerkzeug 30 ist mit Abstand und benachbart zu dem vorderen Schneidmesser 26 positioniert.The relative position of the embossing tools 29, 30 with respect to the cutting blades 26 is selected so that the in Fig. 1 shown relative position of the different embossments or imprints 20, 21 is achieved. This means that the embossing tool 29 for the printing 20 positioned outside of the box part 10 is arranged adjacent to a bulge in the cutting knife 26 for the separating cut in the conveying direction ( Fig. 3 ). The other embossing tool 30 is positioned at a distance and adjacent to the front cutting blade 26.

Der Schneideinheit aus Messerwalze 24 und Gegenwalze 25 ist in Förderrichtung ein Paar von Prägewalzen 35, 36 vorgeordnet.

Die Prägewerkzeuge 29, 30 können alternativ (oder zusätzlich) zu dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel im Bereich dieser Prägewalzen 35, 36 angeordnet sein und wirken.The cutting unit of knife roller 24 and counter-roller 25 is upstream of a pair of embossing rollers 35, 36 in the conveying direction. In the area of the same longitudinal grooves 37 are introduced by embossing in the collar web 37, to facilitate the production of the rounded collar edges 19. The embossing tools 29, 30 may alternatively (or additionally) to the embodiment shown in the region of these embossing rollers 35, 36 are arranged and act ,

Der Kragenapparat kann weiterhin alternativ auch so ausgebildet sein, dass durch erste walzenförmige bzw. scheibenförmige Organe übliche Stanzungen und/oder Prägungen zur Definition der Kragenkanten in die Kragenbahn 23 eingebracht und danach die Kragen durch ein Stanzorgan abgetrennt werden. Bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel können die Prägewerkzeuge 29, 30 im Bereich der vorgeordneten Bearbeitungswalzen und/oder im Bereich einer (taktweise arbeitenden) Stanze angebracht sein. Es kommt jeweils darauf an, dass im Zuge der Fertigung der Kragen in zeitlicher und räumlicher Verbindung mit notwendigen Bearbeitungsmaßnahmen die Prägung hergestellt wird.As an alternative, the collar apparatus can also be designed in such a way that the usual punched holes and / or embossments are formed by first cylindrical or disc-shaped organs introduced to define the collar edges in the collar web 23 and then the collar are separated by a punching member. In this embodiment, the embossing tools 29, 30 may be mounted in the region of the upstream processing rolls and / or in the region of a (cyclically operating) punch. It depends in each case that in the course of production of the collar in temporal and spatial connection with necessary processing measures the embossing is made.

Bei dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel befindet sich das Prägeorgan oberhalb der Kragenbahn 23, wobei die (in Bezug auf die Klappschachtel) Vorderseite der Kragen 12 nach unten gerichtet ist. Durch Drehung der Kragenbahn 23 oder durch Anordnung der Prägeorgane unterhalb der Kragenbahn 23 können die Prägungen 20, 21 so gestaltet sein, dass Erhöhungen des Materials nach außen gerichtet sind.In the embodiment shown, the embossing member is located above the collar web 23, the (with respect to the folding box) front of the collar 12 is directed downward. By rotation of the collar web 23 or by arrangement of the embossing members below the collar web 23, the embossments 20, 21 may be designed so that elevations of the material are directed outward.
