Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Packung für Zigaretten.The invention relates to a pack for cigarettes.
Ferner betrifft die Erfindung eine Vorrichtung zum Herstellen von Packungen für Zigaretten.Furthermore, the invention relates to an apparatus for producing packages for cigarettes.
In der Zigarettenindustrie ist es üblich, dass Packungen für Zigaretten chargenweise mit einer unterschiedlichen Anzahl an Zigaretten befüllt werden. Denkbar ist auch eine chargenweise unterschiedliche Größe der Zigaretten. Im Ergebnis kann der Zigarettenblock, der im Schachtelteil Aufnahme findet, unterschiedliche Abmessungen aufweisen, insbesondere eine unterschiedliche Breite und/oder Tiefe und/oder Höhe.In the cigarette industry, it is common for packages of cigarettes to be batch filled with a different number of cigarettes. It is also conceivable a batch different size of cigarettes. As a result, the cigarette block, which is accommodated in the box part, have different dimensions, in particular a different width and / or depth and / or height.
Um bei unterschiedlichen Zigarettenblöcken nicht jeweils entsprechend angepasste Packungen verwenden zu müssen, ist es bekannt geworden den Aufnahmeraum des Schachtelteils an die entsprechenden Abmessungen des Zigarettenblocks anzupassen.In order not to have to use correspondingly adapted packs for different cigarette blocks, it has become known to adapt the receiving space of the box part to the corresponding dimensions of the cigarette block.
Beispielsweise wird zu diesem Zweck in der
Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zu Grunde Packungen für Zigaretten der eingangs genannten Art weiterzuentwickeln.Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is to further develop packings for cigarettes of the type mentioned in the introduction.
Eine Packung zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe weist die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 auf. Es ist demnach vorgesehen, dass der Kragen durch Materialverformung, insbesondere durch Prägen, gebildete kuppelartige Organe aufweist zur Reduzierung der Größe des Aufnahmeraums, insbesondere des Querschnitts, des Schachtelteils entsprechend der Abmessungen des Zigarettenblocks.A package for solving this problem has the features of
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Organe zu beiden Seiten des Kragens vorstehen können, also beispielsweise einzelne Organe in Richtung des Zigarettenblocks und andere Organe in Richtung der Wandung des Schachtelteils. Hierdurch wird eine größere Reduzierung des Aufnahmeraums ermöglicht, als wenn die Organe nur zu einer Seite vorstehen.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the organs can protrude on both sides of the collar, so for example, individual organs in the direction of the cigarette block and other organs in the direction of the wall of the box part. As a result, a larger reduction of the receiving space is made possible, as if the organs protrude only to one side.
Die Organe werden vorzugsweise durch Prägen des Materials des Kragens gebildet. Auf diese Weise können Wölbungen gebildet werden, die besonders stabil sind.The organs are preferably formed by embossing the material of the collar. In this way, bulges can be formed, which are particularly stable.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Organe entsprechend der Formation der Zigaretten im Zigarettenblock angeordnet sind und sich an den Zigaretten des Zigarettenblocks abstützen. Auf diese Weise wird die Formation des Zigarettenblocks durch die Organe stabilisiert.In a preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the organs are arranged according to the formation of the cigarettes in the cigarette block and are supported on the cigarettes of the cigarette block. In this way, the formation of the cigarette block is stabilized by the organs.
Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass die Organe eine kuppelartige Gestalt aufweisen, insbesondere indie Gestalt einer Hohlkugelkalotte aufweisen. Denkbar sind natürlich auch entsprechende Organe mit einer anderen Gestalt, beispielsweise mit ovaler Grundform.It is preferably provided that the organs have a dome-like shape, in particular in the shape of a hollow spherical cap. Conceivable, of course, are corresponding organs with a different shape, for example, with an oval basic shape.
Ein weiterer Aspekt der Erfindung kann darin bestehen, dass der Kragen mittels Leim an Wandungen des Schachtelteils befestigt ist, wobei der Leim außerhalb der Organe angeordnet ist. Man könnte meinen, dass der Leim im Bereich der Organe angebracht wird. Vorzugsweise wird der Leim aber außerhalb des Bereichs der Organe angeordnet, weil die Lage der Organe bzw. des Kragens toleranzbedingt variieren kann, sodass es sich als einfacher herausgestellt hat, den Leim wie beansprucht anzuordnen.Another aspect of the invention may be that the collar is attached by glue to walls of the box part, wherein the glue is arranged outside of the organs. One might think that the glue is applied to the organs. Preferably, however, the glue is arranged outside the region of the organs, because the position of the organs or the collar can vary due to tolerances, so that it has turned out to be easier to arrange the glue as claimed.
Um die Tragkraft der Leimverbindungen zu erhöhen, kann ferner vorgesehen sein, dass Wandungen des Kragens in Bereichen des Leimauftrags wenigstens oberflächliche Ritzungen aufweisen.In order to increase the load-bearing capacity of the glue joints, provision may also be made for walls of the collar to have at least superficial scratches in areas of the glue application.
Eine weitere Besonderheit kann darin bestehen, dass die Organe derart angeordnet sind, dass der Kragen in Richtung seiner Oberseite nach außen geneigt ist, insbesondere derart, dass eine Kragen-Vorderwand, die im Bereich einer Vorderwand des Schachtelteils angeordnet ist, in Richtung seiner Oberseite in Richtung der Vorderwand geneigt ist, vorzugsweise indem im Bereich der Kragen-Vorderwand ein in Richtung der Vorderwand gerichtetes Organ unterhalb eines in Richtung des Zigarettenblocks gerichteten Organs angeordnet ist. Diese Lösung weist den Vorteil auf, dass ein Spalt zwischen Kragen und Schachtelteil, insbesondere im Bereich der Packungs-Vorderwand vermieden werden kann.Another special feature may consist in that the organs are arranged such that the collar is inclined outwardly in the direction of its top, in particular such that a collar front wall which is arranged in the region of a front wall of the box part, in the direction of its top in Direction of the front wall is inclined, preferably arranged in the region of the collar front wall directed towards the front wall organ below a directed in the direction of the cigarette block member. This solution has the advantage that a gap between the collar and the box part, in particular in the region of the pack front wall, can be avoided.
Von Vorteil kann es sein, wenn der Zigarettenblock mittels eines Leimpunkts, vorzugsweise aus Heißleim, während des Verpackungsprozesses mit dem Schachtelteil verbunden wird, vorzugsweise im Bereich eine Rückwand des Schachtelteils. Auf diese Weise wird verhindert, dass der Zigarettenblock bei einem Übermaß des Aufnahmeraumes der Höhe nach im Schachtelteil verrutscht. Insbesondere durch Verwendung von Heißleim im Verpackungsprozess kann auf diese Weise gewährleistet werden, dass der Zigarettenblock sofort während des Verpackungsprozesses fest gehalten wird und nicht mehr verrutschen kann.It may be advantageous if the cigarette block is connected by means of a glue point, preferably hot melt, during the packaging process with the box part, preferably in the area of a rear wall of the box part. In this way it is prevented that the cigarette block slips in an excess of the receiving space of height in the box part. In particular, by using hot glue in the packaging process can be ensured in this way that the cigarette block is held immediately during the packaging process and can not slip.
Eine weitere Besonderheit kann darin bestehen, dass im Bereich eines unteren Randes des Kragens Organe angeordnet sind, die in den Rand hereinragen und dass der Kragen im Bereich dieser Organe an entsprechenden Organen an Wandungen des Schachtelteils aufliegt. Durch die vorstehenden Organe an den Wandungen des Kragens besteht die Gefahr, dass der Kragen nicht in der vorgesehenen Position im Schachtelteil verbleibt, sondern insbesondere nach unten in das Schachtelteil rutscht. Dies wird durch die besonderen Organe am unteren Rand des Kragens und die entsprechenden Gegenorgane am Schachtelteil vermieden.Another special feature may be that in the region of a lower edge of the collar organs are arranged, which protrude into the edge and that the collar in the region of these organs to corresponding organs on walls of the box part rests. By the protruding members on the walls of the collar there is a risk that the collar does not remain in the intended position in the box part, but in particular slips down into the box part. This is avoided by the special organs at the bottom of the collar and the corresponding counter organs on the box part.

Die Erfindung wird am Beispiel einer Packung 10 für Zigaretten des Typs Hinge-Lid beschrieben. Die Packung 10 besteht dabei aus den Komponenten Schachtelteil 11, Deckel 12 und Kragen 13.The invention is described using the example of a
Die Packung 10 verfügt über eine großflächige Vorderseite sowie eine gegenüberliegende Rückseite, die durch eine Schachtel-Vorderwand 14 und eine Deckel-Vorderwand 15 bzw. eine Schachtel-Rückwand 16 und eine Deckel-Rückwand 17 gebildet werden. Ferner weist die Packung 10 zwei gegenüberliegende Schmalseiten auf, die die Vorderwand und die Rückwand miteinander verbinden. Diese Schmalseiten werden durch Schachtel-Seitenwände 18 und Deckel-Seitenwände 19 gebildet. Ferner verfügt die Packung 10 über eine Deckel-Stirnwand 20 und eine Schachtel-Bodenwand 21.The
Der Kragen 13 ist wie bei Hinge-Lid-Packungen üblich im Inneren des Schachtelteils 11 angeordnet und steht aus dem oben offenen Schachtelteil 11 heraus. In Schließstellung des Deckels 12 wird der Kragen 13 von diesem umfasst. Der Kragen 13 erstreckt sich im Bereich von Schachtel-Vorderwand 14 und Schachtel-Seitenwänden 18. Im Bereich der Schachtel-Rückwand 16 ist kein Kragen 13 angeordnet. Entsprechend wird der Kragen 13 durch eine Kragen-Vorderwand 22 und Kragen-Seitenwände 23 gebildet, die sich entlang entsprechender Wandungen des Schachtelteils 11 erstrecken.The
Deckel 12 und Schachtelteil 11 sind im Bereich eines Liniengelenks 24 schwenkbar miteinander verbunden. Das Liniengelenk 24 erstreckt sich im Bereich der Rückseite der Packung 10, nämlich zwischen Schachtel-Rückwand 16 und Deckel-Rückwand 17.
Das Schachtelteil 11 dient als Aufnahmeraum für einen Packungsinhalt, nämlich im vorliegenden Fall für einen Zigarettenblock 25. Bei dem Zigarettenblock 25 handelt es sich um eine Gruppe von Zigaretten 26, die in eine gemeinsame Umhüllung bzw. einen Innerliner 27 eingehüllt ist.The
Eine weitere Besonderheit des Ausführungsbeispiels besteht darin, dass es sich bei der Packung 10 um eine Oktagonal-Packung handelt, also eine Packung mit acht aufrechten Packungskanten im Bereich der Vorderseite, Rückseite bzw. Schmalseiten. Entsprechend sind im Übergang von der Vorderseite zu den Schmalseiten bzw. im Übergang von der Rückseite zu den Schmalseiten Schrägkanten ausgebildet, wodurch Schachtelteil 11, Deckel 12 und Kragen 13 entsprechende Schachtel-Schrägwände 28, Deckel-Schrägwände 29 und Kragen-Schrägwände 30 aufweisen.A further special feature of the exemplary embodiment is that the
Es versteht sich, dass die Packung 10 auch andere Grundrissformen aufweisen kann, insbesondere eine im Grundriss rechteckige Gestalt, bei der dann die Schrägwände 28, 29, 30 fehlen und die Packungskanten rechtwinklig ausgebildet sind. Weiterhin kann die Packung 10 natürlich auch eine größere Anzahl an Schrägkanten 28, 29, 30 aufweisen.It is understood that the
Eine Besonderheit der gezeigten Packung 10 besteht in Maßnahmen zur variablen Begrenzung des Aufnahmeraums des Schachtelteils 11 an unterschiedlich große Zigarettenblöcke 25. Ziel ist es unterschiedlich große Zigarettenblöcke 25 in der gleichen Packung 10 verpacken zu können. Damit der Zigarettenblock 25 jeweils im Wesentlichen spielfrei im Schachtelteil 11 gehalten wird, weist der Kragen 13 im vorliegenden Fall besondere Organe auf, um die Größe des Aufnahmeraums an die Größe des Zigarettenblocks 25 anzupassen. Die Organe stehen gegenüber dem Kragen 13 vor, wodurch der Querschnitt des Schachtelteils 11 reduziert wird.A special feature of the
Bei den Organen handelt es sich um vorzugsweise durch Prägung gebildete Wölbungen, die ausgehend von der jeweiligen Wandung des Kragens 13 entweder in Richtung des Zigarettenblocks 25 vorstehen oder zur anderen Seite des Kragens 13, also in Richtung der Wandungen des Schachtelteils 11. Die in Richtung des Zigarettenblocks 25 vorstehenden Wölbungen werden nachfolgend der Einfachheit halber Innenwölbungen 31 genannt und die in Richtung der Wandungen des Schachtelteils 11 vorstehenden Wölbungen werden Außenwölbungen 32 genannt. In der Darstellung des Kragens 13 gemäß
Der guten Ordnung halber sei angemerkt, dass der Kragen 13 natürlich auch entweder nur Innenwölbungen 31 oder nur Außenwölbungen 32 aufweisen kann. Bevorzugt wird allerdings die in
Die Innenwölbungen 31 und Außenwölbungen 32 sind im Bereich der Kragen-Vorderwand 22 und der Kragen-Seitenwände 23 angeordnet, sowie im Bereich der Kragen-Schrägwände 30 zwischen Kragen-Vorderwand 22 und den Kragen-Seitenwänden 23. Im Bereich der außenliegenden Kragen-Schrägwände 30 im Übergang zur Rückseite der Packung 10 sind keine Wölbungen angeordnet. Gleichwohl ist auch hier die Anordnung von Wölbungen denkbar, wie auch insgesamt nicht an allen Wandungen des Kragens 13 Wölbungen vorgesehen sein müssen.The inner bulges 31 and
Die Wölbungen sind in mehreren teilweise zueinander versetzten Ebenen im Bereich der Wandungen des Kragens angeordnet. Die Anordnung der Wölbungen erfolgt dabei zweckmäßigerweise derart, dass die Zigaretten 26 des Zigarettenblocks 25 optimal abgestützt werden. Entsprechend sind die Wölbungen so angeordnet, dass sie im Bereich der Zigaretten 26 positioniert sind und an diesen (getrennt durch den Innenliner 27) anliegen. Auf diese Weise wird eine wirksame Abstützung des Zigarettenblocks 25 gewährleistet bzw. eine Sicherung der Formation der Zigaretten 26.The vaults are arranged in several mutually partially offset planes in the region of the walls of the collar. The arrangement of the bulges is expediently such that the
Eine weitere Besonderheit besteht im Bereich der Schachtel-Vorderwand 14 bzw. der Kragen-Vorderwand 22. Dort sind in zwei Reihen jeweils Wölbungen angeordnet, nämlich innerhalb einer oberen Reihe vier Innenwölbungen 31 und darunter vier Außenwölbungen 32. Diese Anordnung der Innenwölbungen 31 oberhalb der Außenwölbungen 32 führt dazu, dass der Kragen 13 bzw. die Kragen-Vorderwand 22 in diesem Bereich geneigt verläuft, nämlich in Richtung der Vorderseite der Packung 10. Auf diese Weise wird die Kragen-Vorderwand 22 im Bereich der Entnahmeöffnung gegen die Schachtel-Vorderwand 14 geneigt, wodurch ein optisch nachteiliger Spalt zwischen Kragen-Vorderwand 22 und Schachtel-Vorderwand 14 vermieden werden kann.Another particularity is in the area of the
In
Eine weitere Besonderheit besteht in speziellen Organen am unteren Rand des Kragens 13 bzw. im Bereich der Kragen-Seitenwände 23. Dort sind geprägte Außenwölbungen 34 vorgesehen, die in die untere Kante des Kragens 13 hineinragen. Folglich sind die Wölbungen angeschnitten und bilden einen nach außen in Richtung der Wandungen des Schachtelteils 11 vorstehenden Vorsprung 35. Mit diesem Vorsprung 35 ruht der Kragen 13 auf entsprechenden Gegenvorsprüngen 36, die im Bereich eines inneren Seitenlappens der doppellagigen Schachtel-Seitenwand 18 geprägt sind.Another special feature is in special organs at the bottom of the
Eine weitere Besonderheit besteht darin, dass im Bereich der Schachtel-Rückwand 16 der Zigarettenblock 25 bzw. der Innerliner 27 mit der Schachtel-Rückwand 16 verleimt ist. Hierzu ist ein Leimpunkt 37 bzw. eine Leimfläche aus Hotmelt-Kleber vorgesehen. Der Leim wird während des Verpackungsvorgangs aufgetragen, um sicher zu stellen, dass der Zigarettenblock 25 während des Verpackungsprozesses nicht innerhalb des Schachtelteils 11 verschoben werden kann.Another special feature is that in the area of the box
In
Mit Abstand zu den Transportwalzen 39 ist ein Paar von Prägewalzen 42 angeordnet, zwischen denen die fortlaufende Materialbahn 38 hindurchgeführt wird unter Anbringung der Organe bzw. Materialverformungen. Entsprechend der Anordnung der Innenwölbungen 31 bzw. Außenwölbungen 32 sind an den beiden Prägewalzen 42 Prägeorgane 43 vorgesehen, die über den Umfang der Prägewalzen 42 vorstehen und mit entsprechenden Freimachungen 44 in der entsprechenden Gegenwalze zusammenarbeiten bzw. korrespondieren (
Die Prägeorgane 43 verfügen über eine der Form der Innenwölbungen 31 bzw. Außenwölbungen 32 entsprechende kuppelartige Kontur, mit der die Materialbahn 38 geprägt wird unter Eintritt in eine korrespondierende Freimachung 44.The
Die Prägeorgane 43 können auf besondere Weise ausgetauscht werden. Die Prägeorgane 43 sind als stiftartige Organe in Sacklöchern 58 am Umfang der Prägewalzen 42 angeordnet. Die Prägeorgane 43 sind als Höhlkörper mit einem Innengewinde 59 ausgebildet. Durch Abschleifen der kuppelartigen Oberseite kann das Innengewinde 59 freigelegt werden, sodass ein Werkzeug 60 mit einem dem Innengewinde 59 entsprechenden Außengewinde 61 in das auszutauschende Prägeorgan 43 eingedreht werden kann, und sodann das Prägeorgan 43 aus dem Sackloch 58 herausgezogen und gegen ein neuen Prägeorgan 43 getauscht werden kann.The stamping
Weiterhin weist eine der beiden Prägewalzen 42 auch noch Schneidmesser 45 auf, die zum Abtrennen eines Kragens 13 aus der fortlaufenden Materialbahn 38 dienen. Die Schneidmesser 45 sind zwischen den Prägeorganen 43 am Umfang der Prägewalze 42 angeordnet und durchtrennen die Materialbahn 38 an vorgegebenen Stellen durch Anlage am Umfang der anderen Prägewalze 42, die als Gegenwalze für die Schneidmesser 45 dient.Furthermore, one of the two embossing rolls 42 also has cutting
Im Anschluss an die Prägewalzen 42 werden die Kragen 13 durch ein erstes Paar von Beschleunigerwalzen 46 auf Abstand zueinander gebracht. Es folgt danach in Transportrichtung der Kragen 13 ein weiteres Paar von Beschleunigerwalzen 47, die weitere Prägeorgane 48 aufweisen zur Anbringung der randseitigen Außenwölbungen 34. Im Bereich der Prägeorgane 48 an einer Beschleunigerwalze 47 weist die andere Beschleunigerwalze 47 wiederum entsprechende Freimachungen 44 auf.Following the
Darüber hinaus weisen die Beschleunigerwalzen 47 weitere Freimachungen 50 in den Bereichen auf, in denen die Kragen 13 mit den Innenwölbungen 31 bzw. Außenwölbungen 32 versehen sind. Auf diese Weise können die Kragen 13 die Beschleunigerwalzen 47 durchlaufen, ohne dass die bereits im Bereich der Prägewalzen 42 angebrachten Innenwölbungen 31 bzw. Außenwölbungen 32 beschädigt werden.In addition, the
Weiterhin weisen die Beschleunigerwalzen 47 randseitige Faltnasen 51 auf, zum Falten von rückseitigen Kragen-Schrägwänden 30.Furthermore, the
Im Anschluss an die Beschleunigerwalzen 47 werden die Kragen 13 zwischen Fördertrumen von Endlosförderern 52 transportiert. Die Fördertrume sind in diesem Fall durch flache Riemen 53 gebildet zwischen denen der Kragen 13 gehalten und in Förderrichtung gemäß Pfeil 41 transportiert wird. Dabei sind die Endlosförderer 52 bzw. deren Riemen 53 so angeordnet, dass diese außerhalb des Bereichs der Innenwölbungen 31 bzw. Außenwölbungen 32 verlaufen. Die Lage der Förderriemen 53 ist auch in
Ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel eines Kragens 13 ist in
Um zu verhindern, dass beim Anbringen der Prägungen sogenannte Schrumpffalten entstehen, die sich oberhalb der Schließkante 33 in den sichtbaren Bereich erstrecken, weist eine der Prägewalzen 42 einen Niederhalter 54 auf, der im schraffierten Bereich 55 gemäß
Weiterhin zeigt
Eine Besonderheit bei der Anordnung der Leimpunkte 56 besteht darin, dass diese außerhalb bzw. mit Abstand zu den Innenwölbungen 31 bzw. Außenwölbungen 32 angeordnet sind. Eine weitere Besonderheit besteht darin, dass das Material des Kragens 13 im Bereich der Leimpunkte 56 Ritzungen 57 aufweist. Diese Ritzungen 57 sind wenigstens oberflächlich im Material des Kragens 13 angebracht und verbessern die Leimverbindung zwischen Kragen 13 und Schachtelteil 12. Denkbar ist auch die Anordnung von durchgehenden Stanzschnitten im Kragen 13 zu diesem Zweck.
