Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Zigarettenpackung mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a cigarette pack with the features of the preamble of
Zigarettenpackungen mit einem Innenkragen bzw. mit einer Innenpackung innerhalb eines Zigarettenblocks - Zigarettengruppe mit Folienumhüllung - sind vorrangig bei Dichtpackungen im Einsatz, also bei Zigarettenpackungen, bei denen die Zigarettengruppe mit Innenkragen oder Innentray von einer dichten, thermisch siegelbaren Folie allseits umgeben ist. Der so gebildete "Dichtblock" ist üblicherweise in einer Hartpackung angeordnet, vorzugsweise in einer konventionellen Klappschachtel.Cigarette packs with an inner collar or with an inner pack inside a cigarette block - cigarette group with foil wrapping - are primarily used in sealing packs in use, ie in cigarette packs in which the cigarette group with inner collar or inner tray is surrounded by a dense, thermally sealable film on all sides. The "sealing block" thus formed is usually arranged in a hard pack, preferably in a conventional folding box.
Ein Beispiel für diese Ausführung einer Zigaretten-Dichtpackung ist in
Die die Einheit aus Zigarettengruppe und Innenkragen umgebende Dichtfolie kann mit dichten Siegelnähten vorzugsweise im Bereich von schmalen Flächen der quaderförmigen Packung versehen sein. Die Siegelnähte sind als Flossennaht ausgebildet und vorzugsweise im Bereich von schmalen, aufrechten Innen-Seitenwänden des Dichtblocks angeordnet.The sealing unit surrounding the unit of cigarette group and inner collar sealing film can preferably with dense sealing seams in the range of narrow surfaces of the be provided cuboid pack. The sealing seams are formed as a fin seam and preferably arranged in the region of narrow, upright inner side walls of the sealing block.
Weiterhin ist im stirnseitigen Bereich eine Öffnungshilfe vorgesehen, nämlich eine mehrfach benutzbare Verschlusslasche mit einer Entnahmeöffnung des Dichtblocks.Furthermore, an opening aid is provided in the frontal area, namely a reusable closure tab with a removal opening of the sealing block.
Die Erfindung befasst sich mit Zigarettenpackungen der vorgenannten oder ähnlicher Ausführung. Es geht darum, die jeweils gewählte Formation der Zigaretten - üblicherweise mit mindestens zwei Zigarettenreihen - während des komplexen Fertigungsprozesses des Dichtblocks zu sichern.The invention is concerned with cigarette packs of the aforementioned or similar type. The aim is to secure the respectively selected formation of the cigarettes - usually with at least two rows of cigarettes - during the complex production process of the sealing block.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist die Zigarettenpackung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 ausgebildet.To solve this problem, the cigarette pack is formed with the features of
Die in der jeweiligen Formation angeordnete Zigarettengruppe wird demnach durch ein zusätzliches, quergerichtetes Haltemittel, insbesondere in der Ausführung als Haltestreifen, zusammengefasst, so dass die Zigarettenformation während des Transports bei der Fertigung des Dichtblocks erhalten bleibt. Der Haltestreifen bzw. ein Halteband kann die formierte Zigarettengruppe unmittelbar umgeben. Vorteilhaft ist eine Ausführung, bei der das Haltemittel die Einheit aus Zigarettengruppe und Innenkragen bzw. Innentray umgibt. Dabei kann der Haltestreifen das Innentray vollständig umgeben oder als Streifen lediglich im Bereich der (rückseitigen) offenen Fläche des Innenkragens quer zu den Zigaretten positioniert und mit dem Innenkragen, insbesondere den aufrechten Seitenlappen, verbunden sein. Dadurch entsteht eine formstabile Einheit, die bei den weiteren Verpackungsschritten die Formation der Zigaretten gewährleistet, bis der Zigarettenblock bzw. der Dichtblock komplettiert ist.Accordingly, the group of cigarettes arranged in the respective formation is combined by an additional, transverse holding means, in particular in the form of holding strips, so that the cigarette formation is preserved during transport during the production of the sealing block. The holding strip or a holding band can directly surround the formed cigarette group. An embodiment in which the holding means surrounds the unit of cigarette group and inner collar or inner tray is advantageous. In this case, the holding strip can completely surround the inner tray or be positioned as a strip only in the region of the (rear) open surface of the inner collar transversely to the cigarettes and be connected to the inner collar, in particular the upright side lobe. This results in a dimensionally stable unit, which ensures the formation of the cigarettes in the further packaging steps until the cigarette block or the sealing block is completed.
Eine weitere Maßnahme betrifft die Stabilisierung des Zigaretten- bzw. Dichtblocks, derart, dass die Außenpackung in der Ausführung als Klappschachtel ohne üblichen Klappschachtel-Kragen ausgebildet sein kann. Zu diesem Zweck sind Flossen von seitlichen Verschlussnähten des Dichtblocks zur Vorderseite der Packung umgefaltet, so dass im Bereich aufrechter, frontseitiger Kanten der Packung bzw. des Dichtblocks eine zusätzliche Stabilität gewährleistet ist. Diese kann darüber hinaus durch Anbringen eines Verschlussetiketts über die volle Breite der Stirnfläche bis in eine Vorderfläche erhöht werden.Another measure relates to the stabilization of the cigarette or sealing block, such that the outer pack can be designed in the embodiment as a folding box without conventional folding box collar. For this purpose, fins are folded from lateral sealing seams of the sealing block to the front of the package, so that additional stability is ensured in the region of upright, front-sided edges of the packing or of the sealing block. This can also be increased by attaching a closure label over the full width of the end face to a front surface.

Entsprechend wird auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite eine konturierte Ausnehmung 42 geschaffen, die die Entnahme einzelner Zigaretten aus dem Zigarettenblock 10 ermöglichen.In the manufacture of the units of
Die Haltestreifen 30 werden bei der Ausführung als separater, eigenständiger Streifen vorzugsweise von einer fortlaufenden Streifenbahn 42 abgetrennt (
Nach dem Herstellen der trayartigen Innenpackung 25 werden bei Einsatz eines eigenständigen Haltestreifens 30 zunächst die als Zigarettengruppe 22 formierten Zigaretten über die offene (Stirn-)Seite in die Innenpackung 25 eingeführt (
Der Zuschnitt 21 des Zigarettenblocks 10 wird in üblicher Weise um die Einheit aus Zigarettengruppe 22 und Innenpackung 25 herumgefaltet, üblicherweise beginnend mit einem U-förmigen Faltschritt über die Stirnwand 18. Danach wird die Quernaht 24 und abschließend werden die Verschlussnähte 23 hergestellt, analog zu der Technologie der

Eine Besonderheit besteht darin, dass sich das Verschlussetikett 44 über die volle Breite der Stirnwand 18 des Zigarettenblocks 10 erstreckt, vorzugsweise mit seitlichen Ansatzstücken 45 des Verschlussetiketts 44. Diese Ansatzstücke 45 sind durch Klebung dauerhaft mit der Stirnwand 18 und angrenzenden Bereichen der Vorderwand 15 und Rückwand 16 des Zigarettenblocks verbunden. Die streifenförmigen Ansatzstücke 45 sind durch Perforationslinien 46 von dem Betätigungsteil des Verschlussetiketts 44 abgegrenzt, so dass die Ansatzstücke 45 ständig in der Verbindungsposition mit dem Zigarettenblock 10 bleiben.A special feature is that the
Dadurch wird eine erhöhte Formstabilität des Zigarettenblocks 10 vor allem im seitlichen Bereich der Oberseite bewirkt. Zusätzlich (oder alternativ) sind die durch Siegeln miteinander verbundenen Lappen der seitlichen Verschlussnähte 23 zur Vorderwand 15 hin umgefaltet und liegen demnach an der frontseitigen Hälfte der Seitenwände 17 an. Mindestens ein oberer, stirnseitiger Bereich der Lappen der Verschlussnähte 23 ist durch thermisches Siegeln und/oder durch Verkleben mit dem Bereich der Seitenwand 17 verbunden, so dass auch hier eine erhöhte Formstabilität geschaffen wird. Im Ergebnis kann die Außenpackung 11 in der Ausführung als Klappschachtel ohne den sonst üblichen Kragen bzw. Rahmen im Schachtelteil ausgebildet sein (
Die Außenpackung 11 ist vorzugsweise als Klappschachtel (ohne Kragen) ausgebildet. Der vorliegende Zigarettenblock 10 ist aber auch in andere (Hart-)Packungen einsetzbar, zum Beispiel des Typs "Shell and Slide" oder in eine Kappenschachtel.
