In der Praxis kann es aus verschiedenen Gründen vorkommen, dass die Packungsgrößen bzw. die Abmessungen von Packungen für Zigaretten vorgegeben sind, beispielsweise aus gesetzlichen, steuerlichen oder technischen Gründen. Um eine kostengünstige Herstellung von Packungen zu gewährleisten, ist es aber wünschenswert, dass die Packung bei konstanten (Außen-)Abmessungen mit unterschiedlichen Inhalten befüllt werden können, um flexibel auf entsprechende Vorgaben in verschiedenen Märkten reagieren zu können, ohne dass eine kostspielige Umrüstung der Verpackungsmaschinen erforderlich wäre. Insbesondere ist es von Interesse eine geringere Anzahl von Zigaretten bzw. Zigarettengruppen mit geringeren Abmessungen in üblichen Packungen unterzubringen ( GB 585 258 A ). Vor diesem Hintergrund liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde Packungen für Zigaretten weiterzuentwickeln, insbesondere im Hinblick auf eine möglichst vorteilhafte Aufnahme unterschiedlicher Packungsinhalte in vorzugsweise standardisierten Packungen.In practice, it may happen for various reasons that the pack sizes or the dimensions of packs for cigarettes are predetermined, for example, for legal, tax or technical reasons. In order to ensure a cost-effective production of packages, it is desirable that the pack can be filled at constant (external) dimensions with different contents, in order to be flexible to corresponding specifications in different markets to respond without a costly retrofitting of the packaging machines would be required. In particular, it is of interest to accommodate a smaller number of cigarettes or cigarette groups of smaller dimensions in conventional packages ( GB 585 258 A ). Against this background, the object of the invention is to further develop packs for cigarettes, in particular with regard to the most advantageous possible inclusion of different pack contents in preferably standardized packs.

Eine Packung zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe weist die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 auf. Demnach ist zunächst vorgesehen, dass der Kragen zum Ausgleich wenigstens einer unterschiedlichen Abmessung dient.A package for solving this problem has the features of claim 1. Accordingly, it is initially provided that the collar serves to compensate for at least one different dimension.

Auf diese Weise kann der Innenraum des Schachtelteils im Hinblick auf eine oder mehrere Abmessungen des Zigarettenblocks reduziert werden, insbesondere im Hinblick auf eine geringere Breite oder Tiefe des Zigarettenblocks. Da zur Anpassung an die oder jede geringere Abmessung nur die Anpassung des Kragens erforderlich ist, hält sich der Aufwand zur Umrüstung der Verpackungsmaschinen in Grenzen. Zudem werden keine zusätzlichen Zuschnitte oder andere Hilfsmittel benötigt, um die Zigarettengruppe sicher im Schachtelteil zu positionieren.In this way, the interior of the box part can be reduced with respect to one or more dimensions of the cigarette block, in particular with regard to a smaller width or depth of the cigarette block. Since only the adjustment of the collar is required to adapt to or any smaller dimension, the effort to retrofit the packaging machines is limited. In addition, no additional blanks or other tools are needed to safely position the cigarette group in the box part.

Gemäß des vorstehend geschilderten Grundgedankens ist vorgesehen, dass im Schachtelteil wenigstens zwei Zigarettengruppen mit Abstand zueinander angeordnet sind, deren Abmessungen zusammen wenigstens teilweise nicht den Abmessungen des Innenraums des Schachtelteils entsprechen, wobei die Zigarettengruppen jeweils an drei Seiten an Wandungen des Kragens anliegen und der Abstand zwischen jeweils zwei benachbarten Zigarettengruppen durch wenigstens ein Stützorgan, das Teil des Kragens ist, überbrückt wird, so dass wenigstens eine unterschiedliche Abmessung durch den Kragen ausgeglichen wird.According to the basic idea described above, it is provided that at least two groups of cigarettes are arranged at a distance from one another in the box part, the dimensions of which at least partially do not correspond to the dimensions of the interior of the box part, the groups of cigarettes resting against walls of the collar on three sides and the distance between them each two adjacent groups of cigarettes is bridged by at least one support member, which is part of the collar, so that at least one different dimension is compensated by the collar.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Kragen einteilig ausgebildet ist und eine der Anzahl der Zigarettengruppen entsprechende Anzahl an Abschnitten mit jeweils einer Kragen-Vorderwand und zwei zur Kragen-Vorderwand benachbarte Kragen-Seitenwände aufweist, und dass die beiden Abschnitte durch eine Verbindungslasche verbunden sind, und dass an der Verbindungslasche das Stützorgan angeordnet ist, das zwischen zwei einander zugewandten Kragen-Seitenwänden positioniert ist, sodass die beiden Kragen-Seitenwände am Stützorgan anliegen und wenigstens eine unterschiedliche Abmessung durch das Stützorgan des Kragens ausgeglichen wird.According to the invention, it is provided that the collar is formed in one piece and has a number of sections corresponding to the number of cigarette groups, each having a collar front wall and two collar side walls adjacent to the collar front wall, and that the two sections by a Connecting tab are connected, and that on the connecting tab, the support member is disposed, which is positioned between two facing collar side walls, so that the two collar side walls abut the support member and at least a different dimension is compensated by the support member of the collar.

In einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Stützorgan den Raum zwischen jeweils zwei benachbarten Zigarettengruppen komplett ausfüllt, insbesondere über die komplette Breite und Tiefe des Raums, und dass das Stützorgan etwa auf Höhe einer Schließkante des Schachtelteils angeordnet ist, vorzugsweise in einer im Wesentlichen horizontalen Ebene.In a preferred embodiment it can be provided that the support member completely fills the space between each two adjacent cigarette groups, in particular over the entire width and depth of the space, and that the support member is arranged approximately at the level of a closing edge of the box part, preferably in a substantially horizontal plane.

Weiterhin kann vorgesehen sein, dass jeder der Abschnitte des Kragens eine oberseitige Ausnehmung zur einfachen Entnahme von Zigaretten aufweist, wobei sich die Ausnehmungen jeweils über Eck erstrecken, nämlich jeweils im Bereich einer Kragen-Vorderwand der Abschnitte sowie einer angrenzenden Kragen-Seitenwand.Furthermore, it can be provided that each of the sections of the collar has an upper-side recess for easy removal of cigarettes, wherein the recesses each extend over the corner, namely in each case in the region of a collar front wall of the sections and an adjacent collar side wall.

Gemäß einer zweiten nicht erfindungsgemässen Ausgestaltung des eingangs geschilderten Grundgedankens ist vorgesehen, dass die Zigarettengruppe seitlich nicht an den Kragen-Seitenwänden anliegt, sondern durch Stützlaschen gehalten wird, die durch Falten von Faltlappen des Kragens gebildet werden und die parallel und mit Abstand zur Ebene der Kragen-Seitenwände verlaufen, um wenigstens eine unterschiedliche Abmessung auszugleichen.According to a second non-inventive embodiment of the above-described basic idea is provided that the cigarette group does not bear laterally on the collar side walls, but is held by support tabs, which are formed by folding folding flaps of the collar and the parallel and spaced from the plane of the collar Side walls run to compensate for at least one different dimension.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung ist vorgesehen, dass die Stützlaschen einerseits durch einen Trennschnitt im Material des Kragens abgegrenzt sowie durch Faltlinien mit der Kragen-Vorderwand und eine Restverbindung mit einer angrenzenden Kragen-Seitenwand verbunden sind.According to a preferred embodiment it is provided that the support tabs are delimited on the one hand by a separating cut in the material of the collar and connected by fold lines with the collar front wall and a residual connection with an adjacent collar side wall.

Gemäß einer dritten ebenfalls nicht erfindungsgemässen Ausgestaltung des eingangs geschilderten Grundgedankens ist vorgesehen, dass die Zigarettengruppe und die an der Zigarettengruppe anliegenden Kragen-Seitenwände eine geringere Tiefe als die entsprechende Breite der Seitenwände des Schachtelteils aufweisen, und dass diese unterschiedliche Abmessung durch in der Ebene der beiden Kragen-Seitenwände verlaufende Stützlaschen ausgeglichen wird, die über die Ebene der Kragen-Vorderwand hinausragen und an der Innenseite der Vorderwand des Schachtelteils anliegen.According to a third embodiment of the above-described basic concept, which is likewise not according to the invention, it is provided that the cigarette group and the collar side walls adjacent to the cigarette group have a smaller depth than the corresponding width of the side walls of the box part, and that this dimension is different in the plane of the two Collar sidewalls extending support tabs is balanced, which protrude beyond the plane of the collar front wall and rest against the inside of the front wall of the box part.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung ist vorgesehen, dass die Stützlaschen durch Stanzen aus dem Material des Kragens im Bereich der Kragen-Vorderwand gebildet sind.According to a preferred embodiment, it is provided that the support tabs are formed by stamping from the material of the collar in the region of the collar front wall.

In einem bevorzugten Beispiel kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Kragen-Vorderwand mit Abstand zur Vorderwand des Schachtelteils angeordnet ist, und dass der Bereich zwischen der Kragen-Vorderwand und der Vorderwand des Schachtelteils durch eine im Bereich der Schließkante des Schachtelteils verlaufende Abdecklasche verdeckt wird, wobei vorzugsweise in der Kragen-Vorderwand eine Vertiefung gebildet ist, in der die Abdecklasche einrastend positionierbar ist.In a preferred example, it may be provided that the collar front wall is arranged at a distance from the front wall of the box part, and that the area between the collar front wall and the front wall of the box part is covered by a cover strip extending in the region of the closing edge of the box part preferably in the collar front wall a recess is formed, in which the cover tab is snap-in positionable.

Gemäß einer vierten nicht erfindungsgemässen Ausgestaltung des eingangs geschilderten Grundgedankens ist vorgesehen, dass die Zigarettengruppe eine geringere Breite als die Vorderwand des Schachtelteils aufweist, wobei diese unterschiedliche Abmessung durch beiderseits der Zigarettengruppe gebildete Füllkörper ausgeglichen wird, an denen der Zigarettenblock seitlich anliegt, und die durch Falten von Faltlappen des einteilig ausgebildeten Kragens gebildet sind, wobei die Faltlappen sich an die Kragen-Seitenwände anschließen und sich einerseits im Bereich der Rückwand des Schachtelteils und andererseits im Anschluss daran parallel zu den Kragen-Seitenwänden in Richtung der Kragen-Vorderwand erstrecken und dort mit derselben verbunden sind, zur Bildung jeweils eines seitlich der Zigarettengruppe ausgebildeten (hohlen) Füllkörpers.According to a fourth non-inventive embodiment of the above-described basic idea is provided that the cigarette group has a smaller width than the front wall of the box part, this difference dimension is compensated by formed on both sides of the cigarette group packing, on which the cigarette block is applied laterally, and by folding are formed by folding flaps of the integrally formed collar, wherein the folding flaps connect to the collar side walls and extend on the one hand in the region of the rear wall of the box part and on the other hand parallel thereto to the collar side walls in the direction of the collar front wall and there with the same are connected, for forming in each case a side of the cigarette group formed (hollow) packing.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung ist vorgesehen, dass die Wandungen der Füllkörper, die parallel zur Ebene der Kragen-Seitenwände verlaufen, durch Verbindungslaschen jeweils mit der Kragen-Vorderwand verbunden sind, vorzugsweise durch Klebung.According to a preferred embodiment, it is provided that the walls of the packing, which extend parallel to the plane of the collar side walls, are connected by connecting straps respectively with the collar front wall, preferably by gluing.

In einem bevorzugten Beispiel kann vorgesehen sein, dass bei der Herstellung der Packung zunächst die an die Kragen-Seitenwände des Kragens anschließenden Faltlappen umgefaltet und zur Bildung von Kragen mit flach zusammengelegten Füllkörpern im Bereich der Verbindungslaschen mit der Kragen-Vorderwand verleimt werden, und dass danach der so vorbereitete Kragen auf die Zigarettengruppe gelegt und danach die Füllkörper beiderseits der Zigarettengruppe aufgerichtet werden.In a preferred example, it may be provided that during the production of the package, the folding flaps adjoining the collar side walls of the collar are first folded over and glued to the collar front wall in the region of the connecting flaps to form collars with flat packings, and then thereafter The prepared collar is placed on the cigarette group and then the filler are erected on both sides of the cigarette group.

Eine weitere Besonderheit, bei der es sich auch um eine eigenständige Erfindung jenseits der vorliegenden Erfindung handeln kann besteht hinsichtlich einer fünften Ausgestaltung. Demnach ist der Kragen als Hülse ausgebildet, in der der Packungsinhalt Aufnahme findet.Another special feature, which may also be an independent invention beyond the present invention, consists with regard to a fifth embodiment. Accordingly, the collar is formed as a sleeve in which the contents of the package is received.

Vorzugsweise weist dabei die Kragen-Vorderwand einen Einschnitt auf, der die Kragen-Vorderwand in einen (oberen) Abschnitt und einen (unteren) Abschnitt teilt, wobei der eine Abschnitt innenseitig an der Vorderwand anliegt und der andere Abschnitt rückseitig am Zigarettenblock anliegt.Preferably, the collar front wall has an incision which divides the collar front wall into an (upper) portion and a (lower) portion, wherein one portion rests on the inside on the front wall and the other portion rests against the back of the cigarette block.

Eine weitere Besonderheit kann darin bestehen, dass der Abschnitt um zwei Faltlinien in eine Z-förmige Konfiguration gefaltet ist, derart, dass ein (oberer) Materialabschnitt des Abschnitts rückseitig am Zigarettenblock anliegt, ein (mittlerer) Materialstreifen parallel zur Bodenwand gerichtet ist und einen Hohlraum zwischen dem Zigarettenblock und einer Wandung des Schachtelteils abdeckt, und ein (unterer) Materialstreifen an der Rückwand anliegt.Another special feature may be that the section is folded around two fold lines in a Z-shaped configuration, such that an (upper) material portion of the section abuts the back of the cigarette block, a (middle) strip of material is parallel to the bottom wall and a cavity covers between the cigarette block and a wall of the box part, and a (lower) strip of material rests against the rear wall.

Grundsätzlich sollte bei allen Varianten darauf geachtet werden, dass die oder jede Zigarettengruppe eine größere Breite als Tiefe aufweist, um eine ordnungsgemäße Faltung des Innenzuschnitts im Bereich der Oberseite der Zigarettengruppe zu gewährleisten.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend an verschiedenen Varianten und einem Ausführungsbeispiel beschrieben, die sich jeweils auf eine Packung 10 des Typs Klappschachtel (Hinge-Lid-Packung) für Zigaretten bezieht. Es wird explizit darauf hingewiesen, dass sich die Erfindung auf andere Typen von Packungen für Zigaretten beziehen kann.The invention will be described below with reference to various variants and an embodiment, each of which relates to a pack 10 of the type hinge-lid-package for cigarettes. It is explicitly pointed out that the invention may relate to other types of packs for cigarettes.

Die in den Fig. gezeigten Packungen 10 bestehen aus einem Schachtelteil 11 und einem schwenkbar im Bereich einer Rückwand 12 des Schachtelteils 11 angebrachten Deckel 13. Das Schachtelteil 11 besteht ferner aus einer (unteren) Bodenwand 14 und einer (aufrechten) Vorderwand 15, die der Rückwand 12 gegenüber liegt. Seitenwände 16, 17 verbinden Rückwand 12 und Vorderwand 15 miteinander und sind aus einander überdeckenden, inneren und äußeren Seitenlappen 18, 19 gebildet. Der Deckel 13 besteht ebenfalls aus Vorderwand 20, Rückwand 21, Stirnwand 54 und Seitenwänden 22, 23. Die Seitenwände 22, 23 des Deckels 13 sind ebenfalls durch einander überdeckende, innere und äußere Seitenlappen 24, 25 gebildet.The packs 10 shown in the figures consist of a box part 11 and a lid 13 pivotally mounted in the region of a rear wall 12 of the box part 11. The box part 11 further consists of a (lower) bottom wall 14 and an (upright) front wall 15, which is the Rear wall 12 opposite. Side walls 16, 17 connect rear wall 12 and front wall 15 with each other and are formed from overlapping, inner and outer side flaps 18, 19. The lid 13 also consists of front wall 20, rear wall 21, end wall 54 and side walls 22, 23. The side walls 22, 23 of the lid 13 are also formed by overlapping, inner and outer side lobes 24, 25.

Ein weiterer Bestandteil der Packungen 10 ist jeweils ein Kragen 26 in unterschiedlicher Konfiguration. Grundbestandteile des Kragens 26 sind aber stets eine Kragen-Vorderwand 27, die an der Vorderwand 15 des Schachtelteils 11 anliegt und gegebenenfalls mit dieser durch Klebung verbunden ist. Weiterhin gehören zum Kragen 26 Kragen-Seitenwände 28, die sich entlang von Seitenwänden 16, 17 des Schachtelteils 11 erstrecken. Ein aus dem Schachtelteil 11 herausragender oberer Bereich des Kragens 26 wird durch den Deckel 13 in Schließstellung der Packung 10 umschlossen.Another component of the packs 10 is in each case a collar 26 in a different configuration. However, basic components of the collar 26 are always a collar front wall 27, which rests against the front wall 15 of the box part 11 and is optionally connected to this by gluing. Furthermore, the collar 26 includes collar side walls 28 which extend along side walls 16, 17 of the box part 11. A protruding from the box part 11 upper portion of the collar 26 is enclosed by the lid 13 in the closed position of the package 10.

Die so ausgebildete, quaderförmige Packung 10 aus dünnem Karton ist besonders geeignet für die Aufnahme von Zigaretten oder anderen stabförmigen Gegenständen. Die Zigaretten werden als Zigarettengruppe 29 formiert und sind durch einen Innenzuschnitt 30 beispielsweise aus Stanniol umgeben. Es entsteht so ein Zigarettenblock 31. In den gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen ist die Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. der Zigarettenblock 31 im Wesentlichen quaderförmig ausgebildet, mit einem quadratischen oder rechteckigen Querschnitt. Es versteht sich, dass die Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. der Zigarettenblock 31 auch andere Querschnittsformen aufweisen kann, beispielsweise mit einem trapezförmigen oder dreieckigen Querschnitt.The thus formed, cuboid pack 10 of thin cardboard is particularly suitable for receiving cigarettes or other rod-shaped objects. The cigarettes are formed as a cigarette group 29 and are surrounded by an inner blank 30, for example made of tinfoil. This results in a cigarette block 31. In the illustrated embodiments, the cigarette group 29 and the cigarette block 31 is substantially cuboid, with a square or rectangular cross-section. It is understood that the cigarette group 29 or the cigarette block 31 can also have other cross-sectional shapes, for example with a trapezoidal or triangular cross-section.

Eine Besonderheit besteht hinsichtlich der Abmessungen der Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. des Zigarettenblocks 31. Die Abmessungen (Breite, Höhe, Tiefe) entsprechen nämlich zumindest teilweise nicht den entsprechenden Abmessungen des Innenraums des Schachtelteils 11 bzw. der Packung 10, sodass ohne Gegenmaßnahmen ein Hohlraum entstehen würde, bzw. die Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. der Zigarettenblock 31 nicht sicher bzw. ordnungsgemäß im Schachtelteil 11 gehalten würden. Entsprechend ist mindestens eine Abmessung der Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. des Zigarettenblocks 31 kleiner als eine entsprechende Abmessung des Innenraums des Schachtelteils 11 bzw. der Packung 10.The dimensions (width, height, depth) namely at least partially do not correspond to the corresponding dimensions of the interior of the box part 11 or the packing 10, so that a cavity would be created without countermeasures , or the cigarette group 29 or the cigarette block 31 would not be held securely or properly in the box part 11. Accordingly, at least one dimension of the cigarette group 29 or of the cigarette block 31 is smaller than a corresponding dimension of the interior of the box part 11 or the pack 10.

Sofern im Rahmen dieser Anmeldung darauf abgestellt wird, dass die Abmessungen (von Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. Zigarettenblock 31 einerseits und des Innenraums des Schachtelteils 11 bzw. der Packung 10 andererseits) unterschiedlich sind, so bezieht sich dies nicht auf die üblichen Abweichungen, die im Zuge von Maß- und Fertigungstoleranzen bzw. zwecks einfacher Entnahme der Zigaretten üblicherweise vorhanden sind, sondern um Abweichungen die über dieses Maß hinaus gehen. Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf Abweichungen in den Abmessungen, die dadurch entstehen, dass innerhalb der Packung 10 eine oder mehrere Zigarettengruppen 29 bzw. Zigarettenblöcke 31 Aufnahme finden, die aufgrund der Anzahl und/oder Abmessungen der Zigaretten einen geringeren Packungsinhalt haben als bei derartigen Packungen 10 üblich, sodass signifikante Unterschiede in den Abmessungen bestehen, die auf geeignete Weise ausgeglichen werden müssen, um die Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. den Zigarettenblock 31 trotz der abweichenden Abmessungen sicher in der Packung 10 aufzunehmen.If it is pointed out in the context of this application that the dimensions (of cigarette group 29 or cigarette block 31 on the one hand and the interior of the box part 11 and the pack 10 on the other) are different, this does not refer to the usual deviations in the course of dimensional and manufacturing tolerances or for the purpose of simple removal of cigarettes usually are present, but to deviations beyond this level. The invention relates to deviations in the dimensions that result from the fact that within the pack 10 one or more groups of cigarettes 29 or cigarette blocks 31 are accommodated, which have a smaller package content due to the number and / or dimensions of the cigarettes than in the case of such packs 10 usual, so that there are significant differences in the dimensions, which must be compensated in a suitable manner to safely accommodate the cigarette group 29 and the cigarette block 31 despite the different dimensions in the pack 10.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 1 bis 4 sind zwei Zigarettengruppen 29 bzw. Zigarettenblöcke 31 vorgesehen, deren Breite gemeinsam geringer als die Breite des Innenraums des Schachtelteils 10 ausgebildet ist. Hinsichtlich der Tiefe und der Höhe bestehen keine Besonderheiten bzw. unterschiedliche Abmessungen.In the embodiment according to Fig. 1 to 4 two cigarette groups 29 and cigarette blocks 31 are provided, whose width is formed together less than the width of the interior of the box part 10. With regard to the depth and the height, there are no special features or different dimensions.

Die Zigarettengruppen 29 bzw. die Zigarettenblöcke 31 sind im Querschnitt im Wesentlichen quadratisch ausgebildet, mit einer Anordnung von jeweils vier Zigaretten in vier Reihen. Beide Zigarettengruppen 29 bzw. Zigarettenblöcke 31 verfügen über identische Abmessungen. Es versteht sich, dass die Zigarettengruppen 29 bzw. Zigarettenblöcke 31 in einer Variante auch unterschiedliche Abmessungen aufweisen können.The cigarette groups 29 and the cigarette blocks 31 are substantially square in cross-section, with an arrangement of four cigarettes in four rows. Both cigarette groups 29 and cigarette blocks 31 have identical dimensions. It is understood that the cigarette groups 29 or cigarette blocks 31 in one variant can also have different dimensions.

Zum Ausgleich der geringeren Breite der beiden Zigarettengruppen 29 bzw. Zigarettenblöcke 31 kommt ein in besonderer Weise gestalteter Kragen 26 zum Einsatz, der aus mehreren Abschnitten bzw. Faltlappen gebildet ist. Jede der beiden Zigarettengruppen 29 bzw. Zigarettenblöcke 31 wird durch den Kragen 26 an drei Seiten umschlossen, nämlich im Bereich der Vorderwand 15 durch eine Kragen-Vorderwand 27 sowie im Bereich der Seitenwände 16, 17 durch äußere Kragen-Seitenwände 28. Ferner sind innere Kragen-Seitenwände 32 vorgesehen, die sich entlang von einander zugewandten Seitenflächen der im Abstand zueinander angeordneten Zigarettengruppen 29 bzw. Zigarettenblöcke 31 erstrecken. Zwischen den beiden inneren Kragen-Seitenwänden 32 ist ein Stützorgan 33 angeordnet, welches aus einem Faltlappen des Kragens 26 gebildet ist. Ferner sind die beiden inneren Kragen-Seitenwände 32 durch eine Verbindungslasche 34 verbunden.To compensate for the smaller width of the two groups of cigarettes 29 and cigarette blocks 31 is a specially designed collar 26 is used, which is formed of a plurality of sections or folding flaps. Each of the two cigarette groups 29 or cigarette blocks 31 is enclosed by the collar 26 on three sides, namely in the region of the front wall 15 by a collar front wall 27 and in the region of the side walls 16, 17 by outer collar side walls 28. Further, inner collar Side walls 32 are provided which extend along mutually facing side surfaces of the spaced cigarette groups 29 and 31 cigarette blocks. Between the two inner collar side walls 32, a support member 33 is arranged, which is formed from a folding tab of the collar 26. Further, the two inner collar side walls 32 are connected by a connecting tab 34.

Jeweils eine äußere Kragen-Seitenwand 28, eine Kragen-Vorderwand 27 und eine innere Kragen-Seitenwand 32 bilden einen Abschnitt 35, 36 des Kragens. Die beiden Abschnitte werden durch die Verbindungslasche 34 miteinander verbunden.In each case an outer collar side wall 28, a collar front wall 27 and an inner collar side wall 32 form a portion 35, 36 of the collar. The two sections are connected to each other by the connecting tab 34.

Die Breite der Verbindungslasche 34 entspricht der Breite des Stützorgans 33, das durch Stanzschnitte 37 aus dem Material des Kragens 26 gebildet und um eine Faltlinie 38 schwenkbar mit einem oberen Ende der Verbindungslasche 34 schwenkbar verbunden ist.The width of the connecting plate 34 corresponds to the width of the support member 33, which is formed by punching cuts 37 made of the material of the collar 26 and pivotally connected about a folding line 38 with an upper end of the connecting plate 34.

Bei der Herstellung der Packung 10 werden die beiden Zigarettengruppen 29 bzw. Zigarettenblöcke 31 in jeweils einen Abschnitt 35, 36 des Kragens 26 eingewickelt und das Stützorgan 33 quer zur Ebene der Verbindungslasche 34 geschwenkt (Fig. 3). In dieser Stellung liegen die inneren Kragen-Seitenwände 28 an den freien Längsrändern des Stützorgans 33 an und überbrücken den Abstand zwischen den beiden Zigarettengruppen 29 bzw. Zigarettenblöcken 31, sodass die kleinere gemeinsame Breite der Zigarettengruppen 29 bzw. Zigarettenblöcke 31 durch das Stützorgan 33 des Kragens 26 ausgeglichen wird.In the production of the pack 10, the two cigarette groups 29 or cigarette blocks 31 are each wrapped in a section 35, 36 of the collar 26 and the support member 33 is pivoted transversely to the plane of the connecting plate 34 ( Fig. 3 ). In this position, the inner collar side walls 28 bear against the free longitudinal edges of the support member 33 and bridge the distance between the two groups of cigarettes 29 and cigarette blocks 31, so that the smaller common width of the groups of cigarettes 29 or cigarette blocks 31 by the support member 33 of the collar 26 is balanced.

Eine weitere Besonderheit besteht darin, dass das Stützorgan 33 so angeordnet ist, dass der Konsument bzw. Verbraucher bei geöffneter Packung nicht in den Abstand bzw. Raum zwischen den beiden Zigarettengruppen 29 bzw. Zigarettenblöcken 31 sehen kann.Another special feature is that the support member 33 is arranged so that the consumer or consumer can not see in the open package in the distance or space between the two groups of cigarettes 29 and 31 cigarette blocks.

Im vorliegenden Fall ist das Stützorgan 33 etwa auf Höhe einer Schließkante 39 des Schachtelteils 11 angeordnet und verläuft im Wesentlichen horizontal bzw. parallel zur Bodenwand 14. Die Länge des Stützorgans 33 entspricht dabei der entsprechenden Abmessung der Kragen-Seitenwände bzw. der entsprechenden Tiefe des Innenraums des Schachtelteils 11, sodass der sich im Schachtelteil 11 erstreckende Hohlraum zwischen den beiden Zigarettengruppen 29 bzw. Zigarettenblöcken 31 oberseitig abgedeckt wird.In the present case, the support member 33 is arranged approximately at the level of a closing edge 39 of the box part 11 and extends substantially horizontally or parallel to the bottom wall 14. The length of the support member 33 corresponds to the corresponding dimension of the collar side walls or the corresponding depth of the interior the box part 11, so that the extending in the box part 11 cavity between the two groups of cigarettes 29 and cigarette blocks 31 is covered on the upper side.

Eine weitere Besonderheit betrifft die Anordnung von ansonsten üblichen Ausnehmungen 40 im Bereich einer Oberseite des Kragens 26 zur Entnahme von Zigaretten. Diese Ausnehmungen 40 erstrecken sich jeweils über Eck im Bereich der Kragen-Vorderwände 27 sowie der daran anschließenden inneren Kragen-Seitenwände 32.Another special feature concerns the arrangement of otherwise usual recesses 40 in the region of an upper side of the collar 26 for the removal of cigarettes. These recesses 40 each extend over the corner in the region of the collar front walls 27 and the adjoining inner collar side walls 32.

Das zweite Beispiel gemäß Fig. 5 bis 8 unterscheidet sich vom ersten Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 1 bis 4 zum einen durch die Anzahl und Größe der Zigarettengruppen 29 und zum anderen durch die Konstruktion des Kragens 26. Entsprechend werden nachfolgend nur die soweit geänderten Aspekte beschrieben, wobei für übereinstimmende Teile die gleichen Bezugszeichen benutzt werden.The second example according to Fig. 5 to 8 differs from the first embodiment according to Fig. 1 to 4 on the one hand by the number and size of the groups of cigarettes 29 and on the other by the construction of the collar 26. Accordingly, only the aspects modified so far are described below, wherein the same reference numerals are used for matching parts.

Bei dem Packungsinhalt handelt es sich beim zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel um eine einzelne Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. um einen einzelnen Zigarettenblock 31. Die Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. der Zigarettenblock 31 ist zentral bzw. mittig im Schachtelteil 11 angeordnet, wobei die Breite der Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. des Zigarettenblocks 31 (deutlich) geringer als die entsprechende Abmessung des Innenraums des Schachtelteils 11 ist.The contents of the package are in the second exemplary embodiment a single cigarette group 29 or a single cigarette block 31. The cigarette group 29 or the cigarette block 31 is arranged centrally in the box part 11, the width of the cigarette group 29 or of the cigarette block 31 (significantly) smaller than the corresponding dimension of the interior of the box part 11 is.

Die Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. der Zigarettenblock 31 ist im Querschnitt rechteckig ausgebildet mit jeweils fünf Zigaretten in vier Reihen. Es versteht sich, dass auch andere Querschnitte bzw. eine abweichende Anzahl an Zigaretten denkbar ist.The cigarette group 29 and the cigarette block 31 is rectangular in cross-section with five cigarettes in four rows. It is understood that other cross sections or a different number of cigarettes is conceivable.

Der Kragen 26 ist wie beim ersten Ausführungsbeispiel einteilig ausgestaltet mit einer Kragen-Vorderwand 27, die eine zentrale Ausnehmung 40 aufweist, sowie zwei Kragen-Seitenwänden 28, die benachbart zu den Seitenwänden 16, 17 des Schachtelteils 11 angeordnet sind. Bezüglich der Tiefe und Höhe der Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. des Zigarettenblocks 31 bestehen keine Besonderheiten.The collar 26 is integrally formed as in the first embodiment with a collar front wall 27 having a central recess 40, and two collar side walls 28 which are adjacent to the side walls 16, 17 of the box part 11. With regard to the depth and height of the cigarette group 29 and the cigarette block 31 are no special features.

Aufgrund der geringeren Breite der Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. des Zigarettenblocks 31 liegen dessen Seitenflächen nicht an den Kragen-Seitenwänden 28 an, sondern lediglich an der Kragen-Vorderwand 27. Entsprechend müssen Maßnahmen getroffen werden, um die Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. den Zigarettenblock 31 seitlich zu halten. Hierzu sind spezielle Stützlaschen 41 vorgesehen, die aus entsprechenden Faltlappen des Kragens 26 gefaltet werden.Due to the smaller width of the cigarette group 29 and the cigarette block 31, the side surfaces are not on the collar side walls 28, but only on the collar front wall 27. Accordingly, measures must be taken to the cigarette group 29 and the cigarette block 31 laterally hold. For this purpose, special support tabs 41 are provided which are folded from corresponding folding tabs of the collar 26.

Die Stützlaschen 41 verlaufen einerseits parallel zu den Kragen-Seitenwänden 28 und liegen an den entsprechenden Seitenflächen der Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. des Zigarettenblocks 31 an, um diese seitlich zu halten. Eine weitere Stützlasche 42 verläuft quer zur Stützlasche 41 und erstreckt sich entlang der Rückwand 12 des Schachtelteils 11.The support tabs 41 extend on the one hand parallel to the collar side walls 28 and abut against the corresponding side surfaces of the cigarette group 29 and the cigarette block 31 in order to hold them laterally. Another support tab 42 extends transversely to the support tab 41 and extends along the rear wall 12 of the box part 11.

Die beiden Stützlaschen 41, 42 werden aus dem Material des Kragens durch einen horizontalen Stanzschnitt 37 gebildet und sind über Faltlinien 38 mit der Kragen-Vorderwand sowie über eine Restverbindung 43 mit einem Eckbereich der Kragen-Seitenwände 28 verbunden.The two support tabs 41, 42 are formed from the material of the collar by a horizontal punching cut 37 and are connected by fold lines 38 with the collar front wall and a residual connection 43 with a corner region of the collar side walls 28.

Im dritten Beispiel gemäß Fig. 9 bis 14 ist eine Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. ein Zigarettenblock 31 vorgesehen, der sich nicht über die volle Tiefe des Innenraums des Schachtelteils 11 erstreckt. Hinsichtlich der Abmessungen in der Breite und der Höhe bestehen keine Besonderheiten.In the third example according to Fig. 9 to 14 a cigarette group 29 or a cigarette block 31 is provided which does not extend over the full depth of the interior of the box part 11. With regard to the dimensions in width and height, there are no special features.

Die Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. der Zigarettenblock 31 ist im Querschnitt rechteckig ausgebildet, mit jeweils zehn Zigaretten in zwei Reihen. Es versteht sich, dass auch andere Querschnitte bzw. eine abweichende Anzahl an Zigaretten denkbar ist.The cigarette group 29 or the cigarette block 31 is rectangular in cross-section, each with ten cigarettes in two rows. It is understood that other cross sections or a different number of cigarettes is conceivable.

Die Breite der Kragen-Seitenwände 28 ist an die Tiefe der Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. des Zigarettenblocks 31 angepasst. Die Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. der Zigarettenblock 31 liegt an drei Seiten am Kragen 26 an, nämlich im Bereich der Kragen-Vorderwand 27 sowie der beiden Kragen-Seitenwände 28.The width of the collar side walls 28 is adapted to the depth of the cigarette group 29 and the cigarette block 31, respectively. The cigarette group 29 or the cigarette block 31 rests against the collar 26 on three sides, namely in the region of the collar front wall 27 and the two collar side walls 28.

Die Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. der Zigarettenblock 31 ist so positioniert, dass dieser an der Rückwand 12 des Schachtelteils 11 anliegt. Entsprechend ist die Kragen-Vorderwand 27 mit Abstand zur Vorderwand 15 des Schachtelteils positioniert.The cigarette group 29 or the cigarette block 31 is positioned so that it bears against the rear wall 12 of the box part 11. Accordingly, the collar front wall 27 is positioned at a distance from the front wall 15 of the box part.

Um diesen Abstand zu überbrücken, sind zwei Stützlaschen 44 vorgesehen, die durch Stanzen aus dem Material des Kragens 26 gebildet sind. Nach dem Umfalten der Kragen-Seitenwände 28 erstrecken sich die Stützlaschen 44 jeweils in der Ebene der Kragen-Seitenwände 28 und ragen über die Kragen-Vorderwand 27 hinaus bis an die Vorderwand 15 des Schachtelteils 11 und sorgen so für eine Stabilisierung des Kragens 26 bzw. der Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. des Zigarettenblocks 31.To bridge this distance, two support tabs 44 are provided, which are formed by stamping from the material of the collar 26. After folding the collar side walls 28, the support tabs 44 each extend in the plane of the collar side walls 28 and project beyond the collar front wall 27 to the front wall 15 of the box part 11 and thus provide stabilization of the collar 26 and the cigarette group 29 and the cigarette block 31st

Eine weitere Besonderheit besteht darin, dass die Breite der inneren Deckel-Seitenlappen 24, 25 an die Position von Deckelbremsen 45 angepasst ist. Die Deckelbremsen 45 sind wie üblich in der Ebene der Kragen-Vorderwand 27 ausgebildet, die sich jedoch wegen des Abstands zur Vorderwand 15 des Schachtelteils 11 in einer anderen Ebene als üblich befindet. Entsprechend sind die Deckel-Seitenlappen 24, 25 mit einer geringeren Breite quer zur Längserstreckung des Zuschnitts 46 für die Packung 10 ausgebildet.Another particularity is that the width of the inner lid side tabs 24, 25 is adapted to the position of cover brakes 45. The cover brakes 45 are formed as usual in the plane of the collar front wall 27, but because of the distance to the front wall 15 of the box part 11 in a different plane than usual located. Accordingly, the lid side flaps 24, 25 are formed with a smaller width transverse to the longitudinal extent of the blank 46 for the package 10.

Eine weitere Besonderheit besteht darin, dass der Hohlraum im Schachtelteil 11 zwischen der Kragen-Vorderwand 27 und der Vorderwand 15 des Schachtelteils 11 oberseitig abgedeckt wird. Hierzu ist etwa auf Höhe der Schließkante 39 des Schachtelteils 11 bzw. geringfügig darunter (Fig. 14) eine Abdecklasche 47 in Verlängerung der Vorderwand 15 des Schachtelteils 11 ausgebildet, die in die Packung 10 hinein gefaltet wird, um den Raum zwischen der Vorderwand 15 des Schachtelteils 11 und der Kragen-Vorderwand 27 abzudecken.Another special feature is that the cavity in the box part 11 between the collar front wall 27 and the front wall 15 of the box part 11 is covered on the upper side. For this purpose, approximately at the level of the closing edge 39 of the box part 11 or slightly below ( Fig. 14 ) a cover flap 47 is formed in extension of the front wall 15 of the box part 11 which is folded into the package 10 to cover the space between the front wall 15 of the box part 11 and the collar front wall 27.

Um die Abdecklasche 47 in der umgefalteten Stellung gemäß Fig. 14 zu sichern, ist ferner eine Vertiefung 48 in der Kragen-Vorderwand 27 gebildet, in der die Abdecklasche mit einer Haltenase 49 einrastet.To the Abdecklasche 47 in the folded position according to Fig. 14 To secure, a recess 48 is further formed in the collar front wall 27, in which the cover tab engages with a retaining lug 49.

Im vierten Beispiel gemäß Fig. 15 bis 20 ist wiederum eine Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. ein Zigarettenblock 31 vorgesehen, der eine geringere Breite als der Innenraum des Schachtelteils 11 aufweist. Die Tiefe und Höhe der Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. des Zigarettenblocks 31 ist ohne besondere Merkmale.In the fourth example according to 15 to 20 In turn, a cigarette group 29 or a cigarette block 31 is provided which has a smaller width than the interior of the box part 11. The depth and height of the cigarette group 29 and the cigarette block 31 is without special features.

Die Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. der Zigarettenblock 31 ist im Querschnitt rechteckig ausgebildet, mit jeweils fünf Zigaretten in vier Reihen. Es versteht sich, dass auch andere Querschnitte bzw. eine abweichende Anzahl an Zigaretten denkbar ist.The cigarette group 29 and the cigarette block 31 is rectangular in cross-section, each with five cigarettes in four rows. It is understood that other cross sections or a different number of cigarettes is conceivable.

Wie in den beiden vorhergehenden Ausführungsbeispielen ist die Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. der Zigarettenblock 31 mittig im Schachtelteil 12 angeordnet. Die Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. der Zigarettenblock 31 liegt an der Kragen-Vorderwand 27 an. Seitlich wird die Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. der Zigarettenblock 31 durch jeweils einen Füllkörper 50 abgestützt, der durch Wandungen des Kragens 26 gebildet ist und der die unterschiedlichen Abmessungen ausgleicht.As in the two preceding embodiments, the cigarette group 29 or the cigarette block 31 is arranged centrally in the box part 12. The cigarette group 29 or the cigarette block 31 bears against the collar front wall 27. Laterally, the cigarette group 29 and the cigarette block 31 is supported by a respective packing 50, which is formed by walls of the collar 26 and which compensates for the different dimensions.

Der Kragen 26 verfügt über eine Kragen-Vorderwand, die sich über die gesamte Vorderseite der Packung 10 erstreckt. Hieran schließen sich jeweils Kragen-Seitenwände 28 an, die sich benachbart zu den Seitenwänden 16, 17 des Schachtelteils 11 erstrecken. Hieran an schließen sich jeweils Faltlappen 51, die sich entlang der Rückwand 12 des Schachtelteils 11 erstrecken. Es folgen dann wiederum Faltlappen 52, die sich parallel zu den Kragen-Seitenwänden 28 erstrecken, nämlich ausgehend von den Faltlappen 51 in Richtung der Kragen-Vorderwand 27. Schließlich sind die Faltlappen 52 über Verbindungslaschen 53 mit der Kragen-Vorderwand 27 verbunden, sodass quaderförmige, hohle Füllkörper 50 durch die Wandungen des Kragens 26 gebildet werden.The collar 26 has a collar front wall that extends over the entire front of the package 10. This is followed by each collar side walls 28, which extend adjacent to the side walls 16, 17 of the box part 11. This is followed by each folding flaps 51 which extend along the rear wall 12 of the Box part 11 extend. In turn, then fold flaps 52 which extend parallel to the collar side walls 28, namely, starting from the folding tabs 51 in the direction of the collar front wall 27. Finally, the folding tabs 52 are connected via connecting plates 53 with the collar front wall 27, so cuboid , hollow packing 50 are formed by the walls of the collar 26.

Die Füllkörper 50 stützen durch entsprechende Abmessungen die Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. den Zigarettenblock 31 seitlich durch Anlage an den Seitenwänden 16, 17 des Schachtelteils 11 einerseits und den Seitenflächen der Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. des Zigarettenblocks 31 andererseits.The filler 50 support by appropriate dimensions, the cigarette group 29 and the cigarette block 31 laterally by contact with the side walls 16, 17 of the box part 11 on the one hand and the side surfaces of the cigarette group 29 and the cigarette block 31 on the other.

Bei der Herstellung der Packung 10 wird so vorgegangen, dass zunächst gemäß Fig. 19 die Faltlappen 51, 52 mit der Verbindungslasche 53 umgefaltet werden, wobei die Verbindungslaschen 53 beispielsweise durch Aktivieren von Hotmelt-Leim mit der Kragen-Vorderwand 27 verbunden werden können. Danach wird der Kragen 26 flach auf einen Zigarettenblock 31 gelegt und durch Verschwenken der Kragen-Seitenwände 28 um die Kragen-Vorderwände 27 die beiden Füllkörper 50 beiderseits des Zigarettenblocks 31 aufgerichtet.In the manufacture of the package 10, the procedure is that first according to Fig. 19 the folding tabs 51, 52 are folded over with the connecting tab 53, wherein the connecting tabs 53 can be connected to the collar front wall 27, for example, by activating hot-melt glue. Thereafter, the collar 26 is placed flat on a cigarette block 31 and erected by pivoting the collar side walls 28 about the collar front walls 27, the two packing 50 on both sides of the cigarette block 31.

Ein fünftes Beispiel ist in Fig. 21 bis 24 gezeigt. Ähnlich wie beim dritten Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 9 bis 12 verfügt die Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. der Zigarettenblock 31 über eine Breite, die etwa der Breite des Schachtelteils 11 entspricht, wohingegen die Tiefe der Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. des Zigarettenblocks 31 jedoch geringer ist als die entsprechende Abmessung des Schachtelteils 11.A fifth example is in Fig. 21 to 24 shown. Similar to the third embodiment according to Fig. 9 to 12 However, the cigarette group 29 and the cigarette block 31 has a width which corresponds approximately to the width of the box part 11, whereas the depth of the cigarette group 29 and the cigarette block 31, however, is less than the corresponding dimension of the box part 11th

Eine Besonderheit besteht darin, dass der Kragen 26 in Art einer Hülse ausgebildet ist, in der die Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. der Zigarettenblock 31 Aufnahme findet.A special feature is that the collar 26 is formed in the manner of a sleeve in which the cigarette group 29 and the cigarette block 31 is received.

Die Hülse wird im Wesentlichen durch Teile der Kragen-Vorderwand 27 gebildet. Hierzu weist die Kragen-Vorderwand 27 einen Einschnitt 55 auf, der sich über die gesamte Breite der Kragen-Vorderwand 27, sowie beiderseits in die angrenzenden Kragen-Seitenwände 28 erstreckt. Von den beiden seitlichen Enden des Einschnitts 55 in Richtung zur Unterseite des Kragens 26 erstrecken sich jeweils Faltlinien 56. In Verbindung mit den Faltlinien 57 zwischen der Kragen-Vorderwand 27 sowie den beiden angrenzenden Kragen-Seitenwänden 28 lässt sich ein unterer Abschnitt 58 der Kragen-Vorderwand 27 unterhalb des Einschnitts 55 in eine Position gemäß Fig. 23 bringen.The sleeve is essentially formed by parts of the collar front wall 27. For this purpose, the collar front wall 27 has an incision 55 which extends over the entire width of the collar front wall 27, as well as on both sides in the adjacent collar side walls 28. From the two lateral ends of the incision 55 in the direction of the underside of the collar 26 each fold lines 56 extend. In conjunction with the fold lines 57 between the collar front wall 27 and the two adjacent Collar sidewalls 28 can be a lower portion 58 of the collar front wall 27 below the notch 55 in a position according to Fig. 23 bring.

Nach Faltung eines zwischen den beiden Faltlinien 56, 57 befindlichen Materialschenkels 60 um die beiden Faltlinien 56, 57 liegt der Schenkel 60 jeweils innenseitig an den Kragen-Seitenwänden 28 an und der untere Abschnitt 58 befindet sich parallel zum oberen Abschnitt 59 der Kragen-Vorderwand 27, jedoch mit Abstand zu dieser. Dabei entspricht der Abstand zwischen den beiden Ebenen, in denen die beiden Abschnitte 58, 59 der Kragen-Vorderwand 27 angeordnet sind, im Wesentlichen der Tiefe der Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. des Zigarettenblocks 31. Auf diese Weise liegt die Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. der Zigarettenblock 31 einerseits vorderseitig am oberen Abschnitt 59 der Kragen-Vorderwand 27 und andererseits rückseitig am unteren Abschnitt 58 der Kragen-Vorderwand 27 an.After folding a material leg 60 located between the two fold lines 56, 57 about the two fold lines 56, 57, the leg 60 abuts the collar side walls 28 on the inside in each case and the lower portion 58 is parallel to the upper section 59 of the collar front wall 27 , but far from this. In this case, the distance between the two planes, in which the two sections 58, 59 of the collar front wall 27 are arranged, substantially corresponds to the depth of the cigarette group 29 or the cigarette block 31. In this way, the cigarette group 29 and the cigarette block 31, respectively on the one hand on the front side at the upper portion 59 of the collar front wall 27 and on the other hand at the rear on the lower portion 58 of the collar front wall 27 at.

Wie Fig. 21 zeigt, liegt der obere Abschnitt 59 der Kragen-Vorderwand 27 innenseitig an der Vorderwand 15 des Schachtelteils 11 an. Der untere Abschnitt 58 der Kragen-Vorderwand 27 ist entsprechend der Breite der Schenkel 60 von der Vorderwand 15 beabstandet. Im vorliegenden Fall sind die Schenkel 60 so bemessen, dass der untere Abschnitt 58 auch mit Abstand zur Rückwand 12 angeordnet ist. Die Breite der Schenkel 60 kann so bemessen werden, dass der untere Abschnitt 58 entsprechend der Abmessung der Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. des Zigarettenblock 31 vom oberen Abschnitt 59 beabstandet ist.As Fig. 21 shows the upper portion 59 of the collar front wall 27 on the inside of the front wall 15 of the box part 11 at. The lower portion 58 of the collar front wall 27 is spaced from the front wall 15 according to the width of the legs 60. In the present case, the legs 60 are dimensioned so that the lower portion 58 is also arranged at a distance from the rear wall 12. The width of the legs 60 may be dimensioned such that the lower portion 58 is spaced from the upper portion 59 according to the dimensions of the cigarette group 29 and the cigarette block 31, respectively.

Grundsätzlich ist es natürlich denkbar, dass alternativ der obere Abschnitt 59 entsprechend mit Abstand zur Vorderwand 15 des Schachtelteils 11 angeordnet wird. Denkbar ist auch eine Kombination der beiden Maßnahmen.In principle, it is naturally conceivable that, alternatively, the upper section 59 is arranged correspondingly at a distance from the front wall 15 of the box part 11. It is also conceivable to combine the two measures.

Ein sechstes Beispiel gemäß Fig. 25 bis 28 unterscheidet sich von dem vorstehend beschriebenen fünften Ausführungsbeispiel nur durch Details im Bereich des Abschnitts 58 des Kragens 26. Insofern wird nachfolgend auch nur auf die sich hieraus ergebenden Besonderheiten eingegangen. Im Übrigen wird auf die Beschreibung des fünften Ausführungsbeispiels gemäß Fig. 21 bis 24 verwiesen.A sixth example according to Fig. 25 to 28 differs from the fifth embodiment described above only by details in the region of the portion 58 of the collar 26. Insofar, below will be discussed only on the resulting special features. Incidentally, reference is made to the description of the fifth embodiment Fig. 21 to 24 directed.

Wie aus den Fig. 26 bis 28 ersichtlich, weist der Abschnitt 58 des Kragens 26 zwei zusätzliche Faltlinien 61, 62 auf, um die der Abschnitt 58 gefaltet werden kann, sodass der Hohlraum zwischen der Rückseite der Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. des Zigarettenblocks 31 und der Innenseite der Rückwand 12 teilweise verschlossen wird.Like from the FIGS. 26 to 28 As can be seen, the portion 58 of the collar 26 has two additional fold lines 61, 62 around which the portion 58 can be folded, so that the cavity between the back of the cigarette group 29 and the cigarette block 31 and the inside of the rear wall 12 is partially closed.

Vorzugsweise wird der Abschnitt 58 um die beiden Faltlinien 61, 62 in eine Z-förmige Konfiguration gefaltet, derart, dass ein Materialstreifen 63 zwischen den beiden Faltlinien 61, 62 der Breite des Hohlraums entspricht und parallel zur Bodenwand 14 gerichtet verläuft und so einen unteren Teil des Hohlraums verdeckt. Ein unterer Materialabschnitt 64 unterhalb der Faltlinie 62 liegt dabei an der Rückwand 12 an und kann mit dieser durch Klebung verbunden sein. Ein oberer Materialabschnitt 65 des Abschnitts 58 liegt wie im vorherigen Ausführungsbeispiel an der Rückseite des Zigarettenblocks 31 an.Preferably, the portion 58 is folded about the two fold lines 61, 62 into a Z-shaped configuration, such that a strip of material 63 between the two fold lines 61, 62 corresponds to the width of the cavity and is directed parallel to the bottom wall 14 and thus a lower part the cavity is obscured. A lower material portion 64 below the fold line 62 is applied to the rear wall 12 and may be connected thereto by gluing. An upper material portion 65 of the portion 58 abuts against the back of the cigarette block 31 as in the previous embodiment.

Im vorliegenden Fall verlaufen die Faltlinien 61, 62 parallel zueinander und zum Einschnitt 55. Die untere Faltlinie 62 verläuft weiterhin auf Höhe der Unterseite der Kragen-Seitenwände 28, sodass der Materialabschnitt 64 durch einen Ansatz gebildet ist, der in Größe und Gestalt einer gegenüberliegenden Ausnehmung 65 im Bereich einer Oberseite des Kragens 26 entspricht, die zur Erleichterung der Entnahme von Zigaretten aus der Packung 10 dient.In the present case, the fold lines 61, 62 parallel to each other and the incision 55. The lower fold line 62 continues at the level of the underside of the collar side walls 28, so that the material portion 64 is formed by a lug, in size and shape of an opposite recess 65 in the region of an upper side of the collar 26, which serves to facilitate the removal of cigarettes from the pack 10.

Allen gezeigten Varianten ist gemeinsam, dass die Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. der Zigarettenblock 31 jeweils nur in einer Abmessung von den entsprechenden Abmessungen des Innenraums des Schachtelteils 11 abweicht, nämlich entweder in der Breite oder der Tiefe. Hinsichtlich der Höhe der Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. des Zigarettenblocks 31 sind in keinem der Fälle irgendwelche Besonderheiten gegeben.Common to all variants shown is that the cigarette group 29 or the cigarette block 31 deviates in each case from the corresponding dimensions of the interior of the box part 11 in only one dimension, namely either in the width or the depth. With regard to the height of the cigarette group 29 and the cigarette block 31 in any case, no special features are given.

Es kann aber natürlich sein, dass die Abmessungen der Zigarettengruppe 29 bzw. des Zigarettenblocks 31 in mehr als einer Dimension bzw. Richtung von den entsprechenden Abmessungen des Innenraums des Schachtelteils 11 abweichen. Gegebenenfalls können mehrere der einzelnen Maßnahmen zum Ausgleichen der unterschiedlichen Abmessungen miteinander kombiniert werden.However, it may of course be that the dimensions of the cigarette group 29 and the cigarette block 31 differ in more than one dimension or direction from the corresponding dimensions of the interior of the box part 11. If appropriate, several of the individual measures for balancing the different dimensions can be combined with one another.

Weiterhin ist darauf zu achten, dass die Zigarettengruppen 29 bzw.
