Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Klappschachtel mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a folding box with the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Eine derartige Packung ist in EP 1 532 058 B1 dargestellt und beschrieben. Die Klappschachtel mit einer (geschlossenen) Öffnung im Bereich der Schachtel-Vorderwand ist so eingerichtet, dass eine Bedruckung oder Prägung (bei Stanniol) eines Innenzuschnitts, also einer Umhüllung der Zigarettengruppe, über die Öffnung der Schachtel-Vorderwand von außen sichtbar ist. Eine Kragen-Vorderwand ist zu diesem Zweck entweder mit einer passenden Öffnung versehen, die auf die Bedruckung des Zigarettenblocks einerseits und die Öffnung der Schachtel-Vorderwand andererseits ausgerichtet ist. Alternativ kann der Kragen so ausgebildet sein, dass die Bedruckung bzw. die Öffnung der Schachtel-Vorderwand nicht abgedeckt sind.Such a package is in EP 1 532 058 B1 shown and described. The folding box with a (closed) opening in the area of the box front wall is set up so that printing or embossing (in the case of tinfoil) of an inner blank, that is to say a wrapping of the group of cigarettes, is visible from the outside via the opening of the box front wall. A collar front wall is provided for this purpose either with a matching opening which is aligned with the printing of the cigarette block on the one hand and the opening of the box front wall on the other. Alternatively, the collar may be formed so that the printing or the opening of the box front wall are not covered.

Weiterhin ist eine Packung des Typs Klappschachtel bekannt ( US 5 826 785 ), bei der die Kragen-Vorderwand mit einer Bedruckung (Bildzeichen, Emblem) versehen ist. Im Bereich dieser Bedruckung weist die Schachtel-Vorderwand der Klappschachtel eine Ausnehmung auf, die durch eine entfernbare Abdeckung (zunächst) verschlossen ist. Der Benutzer kann diese Abdeckung (nach Beseitigen einer Außenumhüllung der Packung aus Folie) entfernen und erkennt dann die Bedruckung der Kragen-Vorderwand.Furthermore, a pack of the type folding box is known ( US 5,826,785 ), in which the collar front wall is provided with an imprint (pictogram, emblem). In the area of this printing, the box front wall of the folding box has a recess which is (initially) closed by a removable cover. The user can remove this cover (after removing an outer wrap of the foil package) and then recognize the imprint of the collar front wall.

Schließlich ist eine Klappschachtel für Zigaretten bekannt ( US 6 364 106 B1 ), bei der eine Bildmarke auf der Schachtel-Vorderwand des Schachtelteils als Bedruckung der Kragen-Vorderwand in einem bei geöffnetem Deckel sichtbaren Bereich wiederkehrt. Auch hier kann die Information, nämlich die Wiederholung eines bildhaften Symbols, nur nach Ingebrauchnahme der Packung, nämlich bei geöffnetem Deckel, erkannt werden.Finally, a folding box for cigarettes is known ( US Pat. No. 6,364,106 B1 ), in which an image mark on the box front wall of the box part as printing of the collar front wall in a visible area with the lid open area returns. Again, the information, namely the repetition of a pictorial symbol, only after putting the package, namely with the lid open, are recognized.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Zigarettenpackung des Typs Klappschachtel vorzuschlagen, bei der Darstellungen unter Vermeidung von (farblichen) Bedruckungen so angebracht sind, dass sie auch bei vollständig geschlossener Packung erkennbar sind und darüber hinaus eine dreidimensionale Erscheinung vermitteln.The invention has for its object to provide a cigarette pack of the type folding box, are mounted in the representations while avoiding (color) imprints so that they are recognizable even when fully closed pack and beyond mediate a three-dimensional appearance.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist die erfindungsgemäße Packung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 ausgebildet.To solve this problem, the package according to the invention with the features of claim 1 is formed.

Die nach innen gerichtete Prägung der Kragen-Vorderwand im Bereich einer Öffnung oder Ausnehmung der Schachtel-Vorderwand ist auch bei geschlossenem Deckel und vorhandener Außenumhüllung aus Folie sichtbar. Die nach innen gerichtete Prägung bildet darüber hinaus eine Abstützung des Packungsinhalts, also eines Zigarettenblocks (Zigarettengruppe mit Innenumhüllung). Aufgrund der geringfügig größeren Ausbildung der Prägung als die Kontur der Öffnung bzw. Ausnehmung entsteht für den Betrachter eine dreidimensionale Gestaltung im Bereich der Öffnung bzw. Ausnehmung. Von Bedeutung ist weiterhin, dass die Prägung der Kragen-Vorderwand in einfacher Weise herstellbar ist, nämlich im Zuge der üblichen Fertigung eines Kragens durch einen Kragenapparat. Bei der Abtrennung des Kragens von einer Materialbahn wird durch den entsprechend ausgebildeten Kragenapparat die Prägung angebracht.The inwardly directed embossment of the collar front wall in the region of an opening or recess of the box front wall is visible even with the lid closed and existing outer wrapping made of foil. The inward embossing also forms a support of the contents of the package, ie a cigarette block (group of cigarettes with inner wrapper). Due to the slightly larger formation of the embossing than the contour of the opening or recess, a three-dimensional design arises in the region of the opening or recess for the viewer. Of importance is further that the embossing of the collar front wall can be produced in a simple manner, namely in the course of the usual production of a collar by a collar apparatus. In the separation of the collar of a material web is embossed by the appropriately trained collar apparatus.

Die Prägung ist vorzugsweise so ausgebildet, dass sie gestalterisch und/oder konstruktiv auf die Form bzw. Kontur der Stanzung ausgerichtet ist. Bei entsprechender Größe der Stanzung kann die Kragen-Vorderwand entsprechend vergrößert sein.The embossing is preferably designed so that it is aligned structurally and / or constructively on the shape or contour of the punching. With a corresponding size of the punched collar front wall can be increased accordingly.

Bei einer besonderen Ausführung ist eine mindestens zur einen Seite offene Ausnehmung in der äußeren Packungswand vorgesehen, insbesondere eine Vertiefung an einem oberen Randbereich der Schachtel-Vorderwand. Diese bildet zugleich eine Fortsetzung einer Schachtel-Schließkante der Klappschachtel. In diesem Falle kann die Prägung - in der Kragen-Vorderwand - besondere graphische Darstellungen aufweisen oder gar Informationen enthalten oder allgemein in beliebiger Struktur ausgeführt sein, zum Beispiel aus in Reihen angeordneten Noppen bestehen.In a particular embodiment, a recess which is open at least on one side is provided in the outer package wall, in particular a depression on an upper edge region of the box front wall. This also forms a continuation of a box closing edge of the folding box. In this case, the embossing - in the collar front wall - have special graphs or even Information contained or generally be executed in any structure, for example, consist of arranged in rows of knobs.

Das in den Zeichnungen dargestellte bevorzugte Anwendungsbeispiel betrifft die Ausbildung einer Zigarettenpackung des Typs Klappschachtel (Hinge Lid). Diese besteht üblicherweise aus einem (unteren) Schachteilteil 10 und einem Deckel 11. Die Packungsteile sind im rückseitigen Bereich über ein quergerichtetes Liniengelenk 12 miteinander verbunden, sodass der Deckel 11 aus einer Schließstellung gemäß Fig. 2 in eine Öffnungsstellung gemäß Fig. 1 bewegt werden kann. Schachtelteil 10 und Deckel 11 bilden einen gemeinsamen, einstückigen Zuschnitt aus (dünnem) Karton.The illustrated in the drawings preferred application example relates to the formation of a cigarette pack of the hinge lid type (Hinge Lid). This usually consists of a (lower) chess part 10 and a lid 11. The pack parts are connected to each other in the rear area via a transverse line joint 12, so that the lid 11 from a closed position according to Fig. 2 in an open position according to Fig. 1 can be moved. Box part 10 and lid 11 form a common, one-piece blank of (thin) cardboard.

Der Schachtelteil 10 weist eine Schachtel-Vorderwand 13, eine Bodenwand 14 und eine Schachtel-Rückwand 15 auf. Entsprechend besteht der Deckel 11 aus Deckel-Vorderwand 16, Stirnwand 17 und Deckel-Rückwand 18. Die Deckel-Vorderwand 16 ist überwiegend zweilagig ausgebildet, und zwar durch einen gegen die Innenseite der Deckel-Vorderwand 16 umgefalteten Deckel-Inennlappen 19. Auch schmale, aufrechte Schachtel-Seitenwände 20 und entsprechende Deckel-Seitenwände 21 sind doppellagig ausgebildet, bestehen aus äußeren und inneren Seitenlappen.The box part 10 has a box front wall 13, a bottom wall 14 and a box rear wall 15. Accordingly, the lid 11 consists of the lid front wall 16, end wall 17 and lid rear wall 18. The lid front wall 16 is formed predominantly in two layers, namely by a folded against the inside of the lid front wall 16 lid Inennlappen 19. Also narrow, Upright box side walls 20 and corresponding lid side walls 21 are double-layered, consist of outer and inner side lobes.

Zu der Packung dieses Typs gehört weiterhin ein Kragen 22 mit einer Kragen-Vorderwand 23 und Kragen-Seitenlappen 24. Der Kragen 22 ist im Schachtelteil 10 positioniert, derart, dass die Kragen-Vorderwand 23 mindestens mit einem unteren Teilbereich an der Innenseite der Schachtel-Vorderwand 13 anliegt und mit dieser verbunden ist, vorliegend durch Leimpunkte 25. Der Kragen ragt mit einem Oberteil 26 aus dem Schachtelteil 10 heraus. Dieses Oberteil 26 ist bei geschlossenem Deckel 11 von diesem umfasst.The collar of this type further includes a collar 22 having a collar front wall 23 and collar side flaps 24. The collar 22 is positioned in the box member 10 such that the collar front wall 23 is secured to at least a lower portion on the inside of the box. Front wall 13 rests and is connected thereto, in this case by glue points 25. The collar protrudes with an upper part 26 of the box part 10 out. This upper part 26 is covered with the lid 11 thereof.

Die Packung weist mindestens eine durch Stanzen oder Schneiden in einer Außenwand gebildete Ausnehmung, Öffnung oder dergleichen auf und eine besondere Gestaltung der zugeordneten Innenwand im Bereich dieser Ausnehmung.The package has at least one recess, opening or the like formed by punching or cutting in an outer wall and a special design of the associated inner wall in the region of this recess.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel in Fig. 1 bis Fig. 3 ist die Schachtel-Vorderwand 13 mit einer insbesondere durch Stanzung angebrachten Öffnung 27 versehen. Diese ist hier beispielshaft in besonderer Weise ausgebildet, zeigt nämlich in den Konturen die Darstellung eines Tieres (Pferd). Die (ringsum geschlossene) Öffnung ist in einem oberen Bereich der Schachtel-Vorderwand 13 angeordnet, mit Abstand von einer oberen Kante, nämlich Schließkante 28 der Schachtel-Vorderwand 13.In the embodiment in Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 the box front wall 13 is provided with a particular attached by punching opening 27. This is exemplarily formed in a special way, namely shows in the contours of the representation of an animal (horse). The (closed all around) opening is disposed in an upper portion of the box front wall 13, spaced from an upper edge, namely closing edge 28 of the box front wall thirteenth

Die der Öffnung 27 zugeordnete Innenwand wird durch den Kragen 22 gebildet, nämlich durch die Kragen-Vorderwand 23. Diese liegt innenseitig über den vollen Bereich der Öffnung 27 an der Schachtel-Vorderwand 13 an. Je nach Größe der Öffnung 27 kann die in der üblichen Weise gestaltete Kragen-Vorderwand 23 nach unten, also zur Bodenwand 14 verlängert sein, sodass eine ausreichende Überdeckung der Öffnung 27 gegeben ist. Durch den Abstand der Öffnung 27 von Begrenzungen der Schachtel-Vorderwand 13 und entsprechend der Kragen-Vorderwand 23 kann diese über eine Mehrzahl von Leimpunkten 25 mit der Schachtel-Vorderwand 13 verbunden sein. Im vorliegenden Falle sind benachbart zur Schließkante 28 mehrere (drei) nebeneinanderliegende Leimpunkte 25 vorgesehen. Jeweils zum Rand hin ist ein weiterer Leimpunkt 25 vorgesehen. Unterhalb der Öffnung 27 befinden sich ebenfalls Leimpunkte. Hieraus ergibt sich eine sehr stabile Verbindung der Kragen-Vorderwand 23 mit der Schachtel-Vorderwand 13. Die Verteilung der Leimpunkte 25 und deren Anzahl ist auf die Kontur der Öffnung 27 einerseits und der entsprechenden Prägung 29 andererseits abgestimmt, sodass komplexe Konturen der Öffnung 27 stabilisiert werden aufgrund der Leimverbindung mit der Kragen-Vorderwand 23. Leimpunkte sind demnach im Bereich von Vorsprüngen bzw. Zungen der Öffnungskontur angeordnet. Bei dem Beispiel gemäß Fig. 1, Fig. 2 ist ein Leimpunkt 25 zwischen den Beinpaaren der Tierdarstellung positioniert.The inner wall associated with the opening 27 is formed by the collar 22, namely by the collar front wall 23. This lies on the inside over the full area of the opening 27 on the box front wall 13. Depending on the size of the opening 27, the collar front wall 23 designed in the usual manner can be extended downward, that is to say to the bottom wall 14, so that a sufficient covering of the opening 27 is provided. Due to the distance of the opening 27 from boundaries of the box front wall 13 and corresponding to the collar front wall 23, this may be connected to the box front wall 13 via a plurality of glue dots 25. In the present case, a plurality of (three) juxtaposed glue spots 25 are provided adjacent to the closing edge 28. Each towards the edge of another glue point 25 is provided. Below the opening 27 are also glue points. This results in a very stable connection of the collar front wall 23 with the box front wall 13. The distribution of the glue points 25 and their number is matched to the contour of the opening 27 on the one hand and the corresponding embossing 29 on the other hand, so that complex contours of the opening 27 stabilized are due to the glue connection with the collar front wall 23. Glue points are therefore arranged in the region of projections or tongues of the opening contour. In the example according to Fig. 1, Fig. 2 is a glue point 25 positioned between the leg pairs of the animal representation.

Die Innenwand, vorliegend die Kragen-Vorderwand 23, ist im Bereich der Öffnung 27 besonders gestaltet, nämlich mit einer dauerhaften Verformung versehen. Diese ist als Prägung 29 ausgebildet. Der Kragen 22 bzw. der Zuschnitt wird vorzugsweise bei der Herstellung desselben durch entsprechende Prägewerkzeuge mit einer dauerhaften Verformung versehen, die bei der fertigen Packung im Bereich der Öffnung 27 angeordnet ist und hier eine dreidimensionale optische und mechanische Wirkung erzeugt. Die Kragen-Vorderwand 23 erhält durch die Prägung 29 eine höhere Stabilität gegen mechanische Beanspruchungen. Die Prägung 29 folgt der Kontur der Öffnung 27 und ist vorzugsweise in den Abmessungen etwas größer als der Bereich der Öffnung 27. Des Weiteren kann die Prägung 29 unterschiedlich gestaltet sein. Vorteilhaft ist eine Prägung, die mindestens teilweise bzw. überwiegend nach innen gerichtet ist, also bei einem Kragen 22 zum Packungsinhalt weist, im vorliegenden Fall zu einem Zigarettenblock 30. Die Prägung 29 kann so bemessen sein, dass sie an dem Zigarettenblock 30 anliegt und diesen innerhalb der Packung fixiert.The inner wall, in this case the collar front wall 23, is specially designed in the region of the opening 27, namely provided with a permanent deformation. This is designed as an embossment 29. The collar 22 or the blank is preferably provided in the production of the same by corresponding stamping tools with a permanent deformation in the finished Pack is arranged in the region of the opening 27 and here produces a three-dimensional optical and mechanical effect. The collar front wall 23 receives by the embossment 29 a higher stability against mechanical stresses. The embossment 29 follows the contour of the opening 27 and is preferably slightly larger in size than the area of the opening 27. Furthermore, the embossment 29 can be designed differently. Advantageous is an embossing which is directed at least partially or predominantly inward, that is to say in the case of a collar 22 to the contents of the package, in the present case to a cigarette block 30. The embossment 29 can be dimensioned such that it rests against the cigarette block 30 and this fixed within the pack.

Die Herstellung der Prägung 29 erfolgt zweckmäßigerweise bei der Herstellung eines Zuschnitts für die Packung bzw. für den Kragen 22. Im Bereich eines Kragenapparats, der die Zuschnitte für den Kragen 22 von einer entsprechenden Materialbahn aus dünnem Karton abtrennt, kann die Prägung im Bereich der Materialbahn bzw. des Zuschnitts vollzogen werden, vorzugsweise durch an Schneidwalzen angeordnete Prägeorgane.The production of the embossment 29 is expediently carried out in the production of a blank for the package or for the collar 22. In the region of a collar apparatus which separates the blanks for the collar 22 from a corresponding material web of thin cardboard, the embossing in the region of the material web or the blank are completed, preferably by means arranged on cutting rollers embossing elements.

Statt einer Öffnung 27 mit Abstand von der Schließkante 28 (oder zusätzlich zu dieser) ist an einem freien Rand der Packung, vorliegend am freien Randbereich der Schachtel-Vorderwand 13, eine Ausnehmung 31 gebildet Diese ist als randseitige, gegenüber dem Deckel 11 offene Vertiefung ausgebildet durch bogenförmige Kontur der Schließkante 28 im Bereich der Ausnehmung 31. Diese ist durch die Schließkante 28 einerseits und - bei geschlossenem Deckel 11 - durch eine quergerichtete Deckel-Schließkante 32 der Deckel-Vorderwand 16 andererseits begrenzt. Bei dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel (Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 7) erstreckt sich die Ausnehmung 31 mittig im Bereich der Packungsvorderseite, jedoch nicht über die volle Breite der Schachtel-Vorderwand 13, sodass zu beiden Seiten der Ausnehmung 31 die Schließkanten 28 und 32 bei geschlossenem Deckel 11 unmittelbar aneinander liegen (Fig. 5).Instead of an opening 27 at a distance from the closing edge 28 (or in addition to this) is at a free edge of the package, in this case at the free edge region of the box front wall 13, a recess 31 formed This is formed as an edge-side, opposite the lid 11 open recess by arcuate contour of the closing edge 28 in the region of the recess 31. This is limited by the closing edge 28 on the one hand and - with the lid closed 11 - by a transverse lid-closing edge 32 of the lid front wall 16 on the other. In the present embodiment ( Fig. 4, Fig. 5 . Fig. 7 ), the recess 31 extends centrally in the region of the front of the package, but not over the full width of the box front wall 13, so that on both sides of the recess 31, the closing edges 28 and 32 are directly adjacent to each other with the lid 11 closed ( Fig. 5 ).

Auch bei der Ausführung gemäß Fig. 4 bis Fig. 8 ist der Kragen bzw. die Kragen-Vorderwand 23 Träger der örtlich begrenzten Verformung des Materials, also der Prägung 33. Diese folgt ebenfalls der Kontur der Ausnehmung 31 und ist geringfügig größer in den Abmessungen. Die Ausnehmung 31 ist demnach von der konturierten Schließkante 28 und einer unteren Deckel-Schließkante - bei geschlossenem Deckel - begrenzt. Die Prägung 33 erstreckt sich bis in einen von der Deckel-Vorderwand 16 bei geschlossenem Deckel 11 überdeckten Bereich der Kragen-Vorderwand 23, endet jedoch mit Abstand von einer üblichen konturierten oberen Kragenkante.Also in the execution according to Fig. 4 to Fig. 8 is the collar or the collar front wall 23 carrier of the localized deformation of the material, so the Embossment 33. This also follows the contour of the recess 31 and is slightly larger in size. The recess 31 is therefore limited by the contoured closing edge 28 and a lower lid-closing edge - when the lid is closed. The embossment 33 extends into a region of the collar front wall 23 which is covered by the cover front wall 16 when the cover 11 is closed, but terminates at a distance from a customary contoured upper collar edge.

Des Weiteren ist die Prägung 33 in besonderer Weise ausgebildet, nämlich als nach innen gerichtete Vertiefung und mit einer überlagerten Zusatzprägung einer gegenüber dem übrigen Teil der Kragen-Vorderwand 23 zurückgesetzten Prägewand 34. Diese ist mit zusätzlich geformten Erhöhungen 35 versehen, die als Noppen erscheinen und zur freien Seite, also nach außen vorstehen. Die Erhöhungen 35 bzw. Noppen sind rasterförmig angeordnet, nämlich in Querreihen und Vertikalreihen.Furthermore, the embossment 33 is formed in a special way, namely as an inwardly directed depression and with a superimposed additional embossing of a recessed relative to the remaining part of the collar front wall 23 prism 34. This is provided with additionally shaped elevations 35, which appear as knobs and to the free side, so to project outward. The elevations 35 or nubs are arranged in a grid shape, namely in transverse rows and vertical rows.

Die Packung gemäß Fig. 7 und Fig. 8 enthält ein zusätzliches Gestaltungs- und Stabilisierungsmerkmal. Ein freier Rand der Ausnehmung 31, nämlich der bogenförmig gestaltete Bereich der Schließkante 28, ist verformt unter Bildung einer Sicke 36. Diese ist so ausgebildet, dass der Rand 28 der Ausnehmung 31 nach außen gewölbt ist mit nach innen weisendem Rand. Dadurch wird eine sichtbare Kontur gebildet. Darüber hinaus ergibt sich durch die Sicke 36 eine Stabilisierung der Schließkante 28.The package according to FIGS. 7 and 8 contains an additional design and stabilization feature. A free edge of the recess 31, namely the arcuately shaped region of the closing edge 28, is deformed to form a bead 36. This is formed so that the edge 28 of the recess 31 is curved outward with inwardly facing edge. This forms a visible contour. In addition, results from the bead 36 stabilizing the closing edge 28th

Die Konstruktion einer Öffnung bzw. Ausnehmung in Verbindung mit einer zugeordneten Prägung einer Innenwand kann auch für andere Bereiche von Packungen, insbesondere von Klappschachteln verwendet werden. Die Deckel-Vorderwand 16 ist ein vorteilhafter Bereich für diese Konstruktion, wobei diese die Öffnung aufweist und der Deckel-Innenlappen 19 an derselben Stelle mit einer Verformung bzw. Prägung der beschriebenen Ausführung versehen ist. Auch sind die doppellagig ausgebildeten Seitenwände 20, 21 sind für die Anbringung der Kombination Öffnung/Prägung geeignet. Eine weitere Ausführung basiert auf der Grundlage eines zusätzlichen Innenteils in der Packung. Eine Öffnung bzw. Ausnehmung ist bei dieser weiteren Alternative beispielsweise im Bereich der Schachtel-Rückwand 15 angeordnet. An der Innenseite, nämlich zwischen Schachtel-Rückwand 15 und Zigarettenblock 30 ist ein Einsatz, nämlich ein Zuschnitt aus insbesondere dünnem Karton positioniert, der - neben sinnvoller Bedruckung - im Bereich der Öffnung eine Prägung der beschriebenen Ausführung aufweist.The construction of an opening or recess in conjunction with an associated embossment of an inner wall can also be used for other areas of packages, in particular folding boxes. The lid front wall 16 is an advantageous area for this construction, which has the opening and the lid inner tab 19 is provided at the same location with a deformation or embossing of the described embodiment. Also, the double-layered side walls 20, 21 are suitable for the attachment of the combination opening / embossing. Another embodiment is based on an additional inner part in the package. An opening or recess is in this further alternative arranged, for example, in the area of the box rear wall 15. On the inside, namely between the box rear wall 15 and the cigarette block 30 is an insert, namely a blank made of particular thin cardboard positioned - in addition to meaningful printing - in the region of the opening has an embossing of the described embodiment.
