Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a package carton and a blank for a package carton.
  • Boxes or also cartons of cigarettes are larger packaging units for cigarette packs. Typically, ten packs of cigarettes are combined to form one such package, which is wrapped by a paper or cardboard blank.
  • EP 0122524 A2 discloses a package carton consisting of part packs, each of these part packs, just like the complete carton of cigarettes, forming an easy-to- handle and marketable unit.
  • the part packs can be divided off from the overall package.
  • the overall package has a parallelepipedal shape with a number of preferably ten packs of cigarettes, wrapped by a blank.
  • the special feature now resides in that a division of the packaging is possible to obtain part packs that are each easy to handle separately, so that a smaller unit, more specifically a "half-carton", may be distributed, displayed or sold.
  • the outer sleeve of the package is made up of one single, one-piece blank.
  • This blank is formed such that in the region of an edge, in particular of a longitudinal side wall, a separating line is formed in the parting plane within the blank, so that the two half- cartons can be divided from each other by separating.
  • a weakening in the material for example a perforation
  • the separation of the packaging may be effected in a simple manner by folding the part packs apart and by breaking the blank in the region of the separating line.
  • the longitudinal side faces that face each other provide mutual support.
  • Each part pack contains one respective row of packs made up of five packs of cigarettes.
  • the part packs are each wrapped all around by cover walls, longitudinal side walls and transverse walls.
  • the shared, one-piece blank is placed around the two rows of packs such that the cover walls, connected with each other, of the two half-cartons rest one on top of the other in the complete package, more specifically in the region of a parting plane for the package.
  • EP 0537951 A1 likewise discloses a package carton that consists of part packs.
  • the object is to provide a package carton that allows to be provided with conventional tobacco tax stamps.
  • the connection between the part packs is effected by at least one sticker which extends at least over two walls, each wall pertaining to a respective one of the part packs.
  • a further package carton that consists of a plurality of part packs is disclosed in WO 2003089314 A1.
  • This document, too, is about providing smaller packaging units which can nevertheless be processed using norma! tax stamp application devices.
  • This is allowed in that the package carton has two flaps of different size, one of which merely encloses one part pack whereas the other can cover both part packs on their longitudinal sides.
  • GB 453296 discloses an arrangement of packages in which each part pack includes hook-shaped tongues which can each engage into corresponding openings in an adjacent pack. This allows an arrangement of a multitude of packages to be produced.
  • the hook-shaped tongues are arranged along a longitudinal edge of each pack.
  • US 5,251 ,748 discloses a further package carton which includes a plurality of part packs.
  • the two part packs are fitted to each other by means of corresponding tongues and slots on the cover walls so as to be able to be separated from each other again for later sale or for other purposes.
  • WO 2004/016522 A1 discloses a sleeve for two packs of cigarettes, which consists of two parts that may be coupled to each other by means of a tongue and a slot. However, here the two part packs can still be shifted relative to each other even after connecting them by means of the tongue. In addition, the two part packs are spaced apart from one another. It is therefore not possible here, either, to utilize both part packs as an overall advertising space or information surface.
  • a disadvantage of the known package cartons which are composed of a plurality of part packs is that it is not possible to make use of the entire available surface of the part packages as a continuous advertising space or information surface.
  • no images or illustrations can be accommodated that extend over a plurality of part packs.
  • the connecting technique is either designed such that the connection has to be destroyed during separation of the part packs, or it does not offer a sufficiently strong, articulated and low-play coupling of the part packs to one another.
  • One object of the present invention is to provide a package carton that overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art.
  • a package carton which comprises at least a first part pack and a second part pack.
  • the first and second part packs are adapted to be coupled along two corresponding longitudinal or transverse edges by means of at least one tab that is cut out from a wall of the first part package.
  • the first part pack includes the tab
  • the second part pack has a slot for receiving the tab.
  • the tab is detached out of one of the walls of the first part pack by way of a partly circumscriptive separating line and extends away from a first edge of the first part pack.
  • the partly circumscriptive separating line may advantageously be a perforated line or a cut or may be punched.
  • the edge is the connecting line between two neighboring walls of the part pack.
  • the tab can be deflected out of the wall of the first part pack.
  • the tab is swiveled about the first edge.
  • the slot is likewise located on a first edge of the second part pack.
  • the first edge of the first part pack and the first edge of the second part pack rest against each other to form the package carton.
  • the tab that has been deflected out can then be inserted into the slot for providing a hinged connection of the two part packs.
  • the tab includes lateral shoulders (advantageously two opposite shoulders) which make sure that the tab of the first part pack inserted in the slot is restrained within the slot of the second part pack by the shoulders becoming hooked underneath a wall of the second part pack. In this way, the first part pack and the second part pack are held against each other along their first edges.
  • the first part pack and the second part pack are adapted to be swiveled relative to each other about the first edges.
  • the connecting technique according to this first aspect of the invention thus allows a hinged connection, largely free of play, of the first part pack with the second part pack along two opposite first edges.
  • the tab is advantageously detached out of one of the walls of the first part pack and introduced into the slot of the second part pack. Owing to the lateral shoulders of the tab, the two part packs are connected relatively firmly with each other.
  • the hinged connection by means of the slot and the tab then allows the part packs to be swiveled in relation to each other advantageously so far that the inner cover walls adjoin each other in the form of one single large surface, with either the transverse walls or the longitudinal walls of the two part packs resting against each other.
  • This large surface may be made use of for advertising and/or for providing information.
  • planar illustrations such as, for example, panoramic pictures or photographs of elongated buildings such as towers may be accommodated there, which are impossible to accommodate in the same size on one of the part packs.
  • the tab has an intermediate portion and a head portion.
  • the intermediate portion here is designed to hingedly couple the head portion to the first part pack.
  • the head portion, on its side facing the intermediate portion, may exceed the width of the intermediate portion by the lateral shoulders here. This causes the lateral shoulders of the tab to become hooked under the wall of the second part pack, in which the slot is provided. This results in a relatively stable connection of the two part packs.
  • the head portion may taper with respect to its width as its distance from the intermediate portion (and from the edge of the first part pack to which it is still attached) increases.
  • the head portion may have rounded corners at its front end (i.e. on its side facing away from the intermediate portion). This facilitates insertion of the head portion into the slot.
  • the first edge of the first part pack and the first edge of the second part pack may each be a transverse edge of the respective part pack.
  • a transverse edge is an edge between a cover wall and a transverse wall of the part pack.
  • first edge of the first part pack and the first edge of the second part pack may each be a longitudinal edge of the respective part pack.
  • Longitudinal edges are the edges between a cover wall and a longitudinal side wall of a part pack.
  • At least one of the first and second part packs may have a region provided therein through which the inside of the part pack becomes visible.
  • a large part of a cover wall may be provided with an aperture, for example, making the packagings in the interior visible T/EP2012/068057
  • the cover wall may advantageously be one of the cover walls which rests on an opposite cover wall of the respective other part pack when the two part packs are connected in accordance with the invention to form the package carton, rather than being folded apart.
  • the cover wall may advantageously be one of the cover walls which rests on an opposite cover wall of the respective other part pack when the two part packs are connected in accordance with the invention to form the package carton, rather than being folded apart.
  • the dimension by which the lateral shoulders each extend in terms of width beyond the width of the intermediate portion may advantageously be greater than one one hundred and fiftieth (1/150) of the width of the intermediate portion and smaller than one eighth of the width of the intermediate portion.
  • the width of the lateral shoulders may in particular amount to between half a millimeter and five millimeters. As a result, a strong hinged connection of the tab to the first part pack is ensured. It has been found that the lateral shoulders can be relatively short as compared to the overall width of the intermediate portion while nonetheless having a sufficient restraining effect after insertion into the slot.
  • the length of the intermediate portion may be advantageously dimensioned with regard to the thickness of the wall of the second part pack in which the slot is located. Basically, the length of the intermediate portion essentially needs to overcome the thickness of the wall and the distance between the two first edges of the first part pack and the second part pack, plus some tolerances.
  • the length of the intermediate portion may advantageously be equal to or greater than half the thickness of the wall of the second part pack and equal to or smaller than five times the thickness of the wall of the second part pack, in particular, the length of the intermediate portion may be between 0.5 mm and 5 mm.
  • the intermediate portion of the tab may be adapted to be swiveled about a hinge in an articulated manner, the hinge being configured at the same time as a hinge of a flap for opening and closing the first part pack.
  • a flap may be provided on a transverse wall or a longitudinal side wall, which is lifted up to remove a pack of cigarettes from the part pack. This flap may be articulated along a transverse edge or a longitudinal edge of the part pack.
  • the entire transverse wall or longitudinal side wall may be designed as a flap which is then turned up around the corresponding transverse or longitudinal edge.
  • the tab may now be disposed such that it can be swiveled about the same hinge (that is, utilizes the same hinge) as the corresponding flap for opening and closing the part pack. It should also be made sure here that the shares in the respective hinge for the tab and for the corresponding flap are correctly dimensioned in proportion to each other.
  • the width of the intermediate portion and thus the length of the hinge of the tab should not be greater than the width of the first part pack, minus the width of the lateral shoulders of the tab.
  • the package carton according to the invention further includes a second attachment means between the part packs. This second attachment means is advantageously located in the region of an edge or side that is opposite in relation to the cover wall on which the tab is arranged.
  • the second attachment means is advantageously located in the region of the opposite transverse edge, that is, the edge between the same inner cover wall and the opposite transverse wall of the first part pack.
  • This second attachment means may be advantageously provided by means of a glued, hook-and-loop, magnetic, push-fit, or snap-fastener connection.
  • a connection by means of a tab and a slot in accordance with the foregoing description also comes into consideration.
  • the longitudinal and/or transverse edges of one or both of the part packs may advantageously be rounded edges.
  • the edges may be flattened edges (flattened corners) or beveled edges.
  • the package carton may have an octagonal cross-section in the folded-up condition. This means that when a section is taken through the part pack perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis (i.e. in the direction of the longitudinal side wall), an octagonal section would be produced.
  • one of the part packs may advantageously have a half-octagonal shape which together with the other part pack forms an octagonal shape.
  • connection between the two part packs may not be provided by just one tab and one slot according to the above description; rather, a plurality of similarly designed tabs and slots may also be made use of for attachment.
  • This second (or third or fourth, as required) tab may also be adapted to be detached out of a wall of one of the two part packs by means of a partly circumscriptive separating line and extend away from an edge of the part pack, and be adapted to be deflected out of the wall about the first edge; here, too, the tab may still be hinged to the wall along the edge.
  • the further slot may then also be located on an edge of the other part pack, as has been described above in respect of the first tab-and-slot connection.
  • the edges of the first part pack and of the second part pack come to rest against each other for connecting or closing the package carton, such that the tab in the deflected-out condition can be inserted into the slot for a hinged connection of the two part packs.
  • the second tab may again include lateral shoulders which restrain the tab inserted in the slot such that the first part pack and the second part pack are held against each other along the edges, so that they can no longer be swiveled relative to each other about the first edges.
  • the invention also provides a blank from which the package carton according to the invention as described above can be manufactured.
  • a respective separate blank may be provided for each of the two part packs.
  • the slot for receiving the tab may have a slightly curved shape at its ends. This affords a better hold for the tab in the slot and thereby a firmer connection of the two part packs.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a package carton according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows the package carton according to FIG. 1 in a flipped-open position

  • FIG. 14 shows a blank for the first part pack;
  • FIG. 15 shows a blank for the second part pack.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective illustration of a package carton GBK in a perspective view in a folded-up condition.
  • the package carton GBK comprises a first part pack TP1 and a second part pack TP2.
  • the first part pack TP1 has a first cover wall DW11 and a second (inner) cover wall DW12 (not visible here). Further provided are longitudinal walls LW11 and LW12 (not visible here) and transverse walls QW11 and QW12 (not illustrated here).
  • the part pack TP1 is an independent part pack which completely encloses a plurality of cigarette packs.
  • the second part pack TP2 is built to be almost identical to the first part pack TP1.
  • the second part pack TP2 has a first cover wall DW21 (not visible here) and a second (inner) cover wall DW22 (also not visible here).
  • the second part pack TP2 further comprises a first longitudinal wall LW21 and a second longitudinal wall LW22 (not visible here) and also a first transverse wall QW21 and a second transverse wall QW22 (not visible here).
  • the two part packs TP1 and TP2 are hinged together by means of a hinge GL. This hinged connection is obtained by inserting a tab (not visible here) into a slot (also not visible here).
  • a second connecting mechanism is provided, which holds the two part packs TP1 and TP2 together in the closed condition.
  • This may be a glued, hook-and-loop, push-fit, magnetic, and/or a snap-fastener connection.
  • the magnetic connection may be produced by magnets being accommodated in the part packs TP1 and TP2 along the edges that lie on top of each other.
  • the two part packs may also be connected by a further attachment means on this side opposite from the hinge GL.
  • a further hinge GL having a tab and a slot may be provided there according to the aspects of the invention.
  • FIG. 2 shows a further perspective illustration of the package carton GBK according to FIG. 1 in a perspective and flipped-open position.
  • the first part pack TP1 Owing to the hinged connection by means of the hinge GL between the first part pack TP1 and the second part pack TP2, the first part pack TP1 is adapted to be swiveled in relation to the second part pack TP2 about the hinged connection GL. This exposes the respective inner cover walls DW12 of the first part pack TP1 and DW22 of the second part pack TP2.
  • the second (inner) cover wall DW12 of the first part pack TP1 and the second (inner) cover wall DW22 of the second part pack TP2 lie on top of each other.
  • the second transverse walls QW12 and QW22 of the first part pack TP1 and the second part pack TP2, respectively, also become visible.
  • the cutout AS is now visible which is produced in that the tab (not visible here) was partly detached from the second cover wall DW12 of the first part pack TP1 and is now located in the slot SZ of the second part pack to provide a hinged connection between the first part pack TP1 and the second part pack TP2.
  • FIG. 3 shows a further enlarged illustration of the hinged connection GL of the first part pack TP1 with the second part pack TP2 according to FIG. 2.
  • This illustration again shows the cutout AS with greater clarity, which is formed in that the tab is detached from the cover wall DW12 of the first part pack TP1 along the partly circumscriptive cutting line LS.
  • the dashed line in this illustration also shows the tab, which is now located within the second part pack TP2 and is concealed by the second cover wall DW22 of the second part pack TP2. To this end, the tab was inserted into the slot SZ in the second cover wall DW22 of the second part pack TP2.
  • the tab gets caught underneath the second cover wall DW22 of the second part pack TP2. As a result, the tab can no longer readily slide out of the slot SZ, which allows a reliable and hinged connection of the two part packs TP1 and TP2.
  • FIG. 4 shows an even greater enlargement of the two important elements for bringing about the hinged connection between the first part pack TP1 and the second part pack TP2.

Abstract

L'invention se rapporte à un carton d'emballage (GBK) destiné à recevoir un emballage de paquets de cigarettes, le carton d'emballage comprenant des premier (TP1) et second (TP2) paquets. Le premier paquet comprend une languette (LA) et le second paquet comprend une fente (SZ) destinée à recevoir la languette, la languette étant conçue pour se détacher d'une paroi (DW12) du premier paquet à l'aide d'une ligne de séparation à circonscription partielle (SL) et s'étendant loin d'un premier bord (K11) du premier paquet et étant conçue pour dévier de la paroi autour du premier bord, la languette s'articulant toujours sur la paroi le long du premier bord, la fente se trouvant également sur un premier bord (K12) du second paquet, le premier bord du premier paquet et le premier bord du second paquet venant reposer l'un contre l'autre pour former le carton d'emballage de sorte que la languette, dans l'état dévié, puisse être introduite dans la fente en vue d'une liaison articulée des deux paquets, la languette comprenant des épaulements latéraux (ABS1,ABS2) qui maintiennent la languette introduite dans la fente de sorte que le premier paquet et le second paquet soient maintenus l'un contre l'autre le long de leurs premiers bords et puissent pivoter l'un par rapport à l'autre autour des premiers bords.
