Definitions
- the invention relates to cigarette packs having the features of the preamble of claim 1.
- a trained according to the concept of a soft cup pack cigarette pack with a reusable closure of an inner pack is known by WO 2012/007081 A1 ,
- an outer pack is cup-shaped, so open at the top.
- An inner pack consists of a lining of tinfoil surrounding a group of cigarettes.
- the reusable closure consists of an adhesive label, which extends over the front side of the package and is fixed surface by means of releasable adhesive to the outer package on the one hand and the inner package on the other. The latter has, in the region of a recess of the front wall of the outer pack, a tear-off tab defined by lines of weakness.
- a cigarette pack in which the inner pack is formed as a sealing pack with a surrounding the cigarette group, thermally sealable and moisture-proof film. This forms lateral fin seams and a transverse seam.
- a multiply usable opening aid is formed in the region of the inner pack as a opening tab, which extends across the width of the end wall and a frontal area the front wall extends. An end piece of the tab is fixable with glue points on an inner layer of the inner pack in the closed position.
- the outer pack is designed in the manner of a folding pack with locking tab which extends over the front side and an upper region of the front side. The opening tab of the inner pack is connected to the locking tab, so it is operated with this opening and closing.
- This package is complex and complex in terms of the material to be used and in terms of construction. The production of such a package is difficult ( EP 2 455 302 A1 ).
- the essentially parallelepipedic packs shown in the drawings are used to hold a group of cigarettes 10.
- the dimensions of the packs are selected such that groups of cigarettes 11 with cigarettes 11 arranged in three rows can be accommodated ( Fig. 16 . Fig. 18 ).
- the package consists of at least one outer package 12 and one inner package 13. Furthermore, the package may be provided with a (conventional) outer envelope made of cellophane or plastic film (not shown).
- the outer package 12 consists of an outer panel 14 of foldable packaging material, in particular thin cardboard, paper or rigid-soft packaging material.
- the outer panel 14 is formed so that the package contents, so the inner pack 13, is completely enclosed on all sides.
- the outer panel 14 accordingly forms an outer front wall 15, an outer rear wall 16, an outer bottom wall 17 and an outer end wall 18.
- side tabs are arranged, namely outer side tabs 19 on the front wall 15th and inner side flaps 20 on the rear wall 16.
- the side flaps 19 and 20 are in the finished package by glue - glue dots 21 on the outer side tabs 19 - interconnected and form outer side walls 22, 23 of the finished package.
- a special feature is that upright packing edges are formed as round edges 24, so in a quarter circle in cross-section, approximately corresponding to the dimension of a cigarette 10.
- the round edges 24 are defined by a group of parallel grooves 25 of the outer blank 14.
- the outer bottom wall 17 and the outer end wall 18 are provided with correspondingly formed round corners 26.
- the outer panel 14 is constructed according to the L Lucassfalttama, but with a special order of the walls. Between the outer front wall 15 and the outer rear wall 16 is the outer end wall 18. This is therefore free of connecting tabs.
- the outer bottom wall 17 connects to the free end of the outer rear wall 16 at.
- a - trapezoidal - connecting tabs 27 is attached. This is in the finished package on the inside of the outer front wall 15 and is connected thereto, in this case by (three arranged in series) glue points 28. Corner tabs 29, 30 serve to connect the outer side walls 22, 23 with the bottom wall 17th or end wall 18.
- the corner tabs 29, 30 abut against the inside of the bottom wall 17 and the end wall 18 and are fixed there by means of glue (two glue points 31).
- the inner package 13 from an inner blank 32 (FIG. Fig. 13 ) is matched with respect to the design of the outer package 12.
- the inner blank 32 is made of thin, foldable packaging material, namely paper, tin foil or foil.
- inner front wall 33, inner rear wall 34 and disposed therebetween inner end wall 35 are defined successively according to the longitudinal folding principle.
- bottom tabs 36, 37 At the ends of front wall 33 and rear wall 34 are bottom tabs 36, 37 which form an inner bottom wall by appropriate folding and mutual overlap.
- inner side walls are formed from lateral wall tabs 38, 39 and partially overlap each other in the folded position ( Fig. 16 . Fig.
- a special feature of the pack is an opening aid. This can be designed for a repeated opening and closing operation or for a single opening operation. Furthermore, the opening aid can alternatively be designed such that upon actuation of the same a removal opening 40 in the region of outer package 12 and inner package 13 at the same time or only an opening in the region of the outer package 12 is created. In the latter case, the inner pack 13 must be opened by the consumer (manually). In the embodiment according to Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 combined with Fig. 13 the opening aid is arranged in the region of the outer end wall 18, transversely to this.
- the removal opening 40 is created by special interaction of outer pack 12 and inner pack 13.
- the outer panel 14 is provided with an opening 40 corresponding to the opening opening 41. This is formed as part of the outer panel 14 and bounded by a weakening line 42, which is preferably a perforation line. This is substantially U-shaped, with the open side in the region of the outer rear wall 16.
- the opening tab 41 is cut out of the composite with the outer panel 14 along the line of weakness 42. Due to the formation of the weakening line 42, however, the opening tab 41 remains in communication with the outer panel 14, with one leg of the rear wall 16.
- the opening tab 41 is moved by an aid in the open position, in particular by a closure label 43.
- This consists of foil and is connected by gluing to the outside of the outer panel 14.
- the closure label 43 is formed - as a separate blank - so that the opening tab 41 is completely covered to form a running around edge strip 44. This is connected to a portion of the outer panel 14 adjacent to the line of weakness 42.
- the opening aid or the closure label 43 is arranged laterally offset from an imaginary central transverse plane of the end wall 18.
- the corner tabs 13 lying on this side are shortened accordingly, so that in the folded position the corner tabs lie outside the area of the removal opening 40 (FIG. Fig. 2 ).
- the inner package 13 or its inner cut 32 is provided with a cut-out area which can be separated out to form the removal opening 40, in particular with a tear-off tab 46.
- This is in terms of position or relative position within the inner blank 32, matched in size and / or contour to the opening tab 41 of the outer panel 14.
- the tear-off tab 46 is defined by a weakening line 47, in particular by a perforation line in the material of the inner blank, such that when the opening aid is actuated, the tear-off tab 46 is at the same time completely or partially cut out of the connection with the inner blank 32.
- the (shown in detail) inner blank 32 according to Fig. 13 is provided with a substantially rectangular tear-off tab 46, which extends transversely across the inner end wall 35, in a relative to the opening tab 41 of the outer panel 14 aligned relative position.
- the arrangement is selected so that the tear-off tab 46 is slightly smaller in dimensions than the opening tab 41, so that even with minor manufacturing tolerances, the tear-off tab 46 lies completely within the area of the opening tab 41.
- the tear-off tab 46 is bounded by a closed, all-around weakening line 47.
- the tear-off tab 46 is connected as part of the inner pack 13 (permanently) to the opening tab 41 of the outer pack 12.
- the predominant surface of the tear-off tab 46, at least in the area of the inner front wall 33 and the inner end wall 35, is connected by glue to the inner side of the opening tab 41.
- a plurality of glue points 48 are arranged distributed, in particular in corner regions of the tear-off tab 46 or the separable legs thereof.
- opening tab 41 and tear-off tab 46 is in an operation of the opening tab 41 - in the embodiment according to Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 through the closure label 43 - pieces of material from the outer pack 12 and from the inner pack 13 simultaneously separated out to form the removal opening 14.
- these blank parts 41, 46 can be returned by means of the closure label 43 in the closed position.
- Fig. 4, Fig. 5 discloses an opening aid according to the invention.
- the basic structure with opening tab 41 and tear tab 46 and preferably with closure label 43 corresponds to the described embodiment.
- the opening tab 41 of the outer package 12 is presently positioned only in the region of the outer end wall 18 and extends with a section or leg into the outer rear wall 16 (FIG. Fig. 4 ).
- a (front) tear-off edge 49 of the opening tab 41 runs along a folded edge 50 between the outer front wall 15 and outer end wall 18.
- the line of weakness 42 is in this area - as well as in the embodiment of Fig. 3 - Formed with a longer, transverse punched cut, so that the entrainment of the opening tab 41 is ensured by the closure label 43 when first opened.
- the effective area of the opening tab 41 extends across the width or depth of the outer end wall 18, so that the removal opening formed also lies exclusively in the area of the outer end wall 18.
- the closure label 43 extends with a (longer) leg into the outer front wall 15.
- the grip tab 45th The inner package 13 or the inner blank 32 is aligned with the design of the opening aid.
- the inner blank 32 is corresponding in the area of the opening aid Fig. 14 educated.
- the tear-off tab 46 extends in the region of the inner end wall 35 with a transverse tear line 51 along a folding line 52 delimiting the inner end wall 35.
- a short leg of the tear-off tab 46 lies in the inner rear wall 34.
- the thus formed tear-off tab 46 is in its position substantially centered on the opening tab 41 according to Fig. 4, Fig. 5 aligned and with this durable connected by (four) glue points 48.
- the unit of opening tab 41 and tear-off tab 46 is guided together in the open position - with the closure label 43.
- the opening tab 41 and tear tab 46 can be returned by opposite operation in the closed position.
- the opening aid may alternatively, but not according to the invention, be formed without a closure label.
- the opening tab 41 is formed and / or arranged so that a portion or an edge region of the opening tab 41 directly detected and then the unit can be brought out of opening tab 41 and tear-off tab 46 in the open position.
- Fig. 7 is arranged by a preferably closed weakening line 42 or perforation a (rectangular) area as opening tab 41 of the outer end wall 18.
- the punching of the line 42 is formed so that on a transverse side - in this case on the outer front wall 15 facing side - a continuous punching cut 67 is arranged. Due to arcuate ends of the punching 67, a narrow grip tongue 53 of the opening tab 41 is formed.
- the arrangement is such that the grip tongue 53 or the punching 67 associated therewith is arranged in the region of an adjacent wall of the outer cut 14, in the present case in the region of the outer cut. Front wall 15.
- the grip tongue 53 Due to the folding of the blank 14 along the front-side folded edge 50, the grip tongue 53 is positioned at an angle or inclination to the front wall 15 due to the restoring forces in the material ( Fig. 7 ). The grip tongue 53 is thereby easily detectable. The opening tab 41 can then be moved into an open position, preferably with separation from the outer end wall 18th
- the inner blank 32 can with respect to the arrangement and design of the tear-tab 46 accordingly Fig. 14 be educated.
- gluing the unit of opening tab 41 and tear-off tab 46 is made, which is completely removed from inner pack 13 and outer pack 12, due to a transverse perforation 54 of the opening tab 41 opposite to the grip tongue 53, in this case at the top of the outer rear wall 16. It arises such a free removal opening, which is not closed again.
- the outer panel 14 may alternatively be configured such that blank parts lying in the spatial vicinity of the opening tab 41, due to a (special) design and / or folding position, make it possible to detect the opening tab during the (initial) opening.
- Fig. 9 serves a peripheral edge of a wall of the outer package 12 as an actuating means for the opening tab 41. This is due to a corresponding line of weakness in the edge region or on one side of the outer end wall 18 is arranged.
- a free transverse edge 55 of the outer end wall 18 forms due to appropriate design of the outer panel a detectable free projection for actuating the opening tab 41.
- the outer end wall 18 with the transverse edge 55 projects due to appropriate design of the outer panel 14 slightly beyond the contour of the outer package 12 and the outer side wall 23 away.
- the opening tab 41 is thus detected immediately and separated along the line of weakness 42 as a portion of the outer end wall 18.
- a parting line 56 is designed as a weakening line, in particular with punched holes and residual connections.
- the opening tab 41 is in the embodiment Fig. 8, Fig. 9 trained in a special way.
- a substantially rectangular center piece 57 extends within the outer end wall 18. This is therefore part of the opening tab 41.
- side pieces 58, 59 arranged by the correspondingly contoured weakening line 42, this as part of the front wall 15 on the one hand and the rear wall 16 are formed on the other hand.
- An obliquely extending perforation section 60 allows the separation process in the region of front wall 15 and rear wall 16, so that the side pieces 58, 59 have a trapezoidal contour. Accordingly, the (permanent) removal opening is formed. Upper ends of the cigarettes 10 are exposed in the region of front wall 15 and / or rear wall 16.
- the inner blank 32 is in terms of the shape of the tear-off tab (not shown) to the contour of the opening tab 41 in Fig. 8, Fig. 9 customized.
- the number and positioning of the glue dots 48 takes into account the side pieces 58, 59 of the opening tab 41 associated areas of the tear-off tab.
- a portion of the outer panel 14 serves as a means for actuating the opening tab 41.
- This is exemplified as (rectangular) end or side piece of the end wall 18th educated. Due to a closed weakening or perforation line 42, an opening tab 41 is defined whose width corresponds to the corresponding dimension of the outer end wall 18 and whose length preferably corresponds approximately to half the length of the end wall 18. The opening tab 41 with tear tab 46 is removed at the first actuation.
- the actuation of the opening tab 41 when putting the pack into use is effected by means of a grip piece 61, which protrudes beyond the contour of the end wall 18, ie beyond its transverse edge 55.
- the handle 61 is part of the correspondingly formed corner flap 30. This is provided with a transverse punch 62 with arcuate ends. In the folded position - system of the corner tab 30 on the inside of the end wall 18 - the handle 61 is directed due to the transverse punch 62 to the outside. The dimensions are chosen so that the handle 61 forms an outwardly directed projection.
- the tongue-shaped grip 61 is located in the region of a cutout 66 which is formed by corresponding shortening of the outer side flap 19 (FIG. Fig. 10 ) is created.
- the weakening line 42 adjoins the ends of the transverse edge 55 and the round corners 26 of the end wall 18 and thus form a continuation of the wall edge, so that the separation of the opening tab 41 is facilitated.
- the inner package 13 or its inner cut 32 is preferably in the region of the tear-off tab 46 as shown in FIG Fig. 15 educated.
- the tear-off tab 46 enclosed by the weakening line 47 or perforation is made larger, at least in the region of the inner front wall 33 and the inner rear wall 34, namely by staggered arrangement of the weakening line 47, as the closure label 43.
- the opening tab 41 becomes connected tear-off tab 46 is separated as a hood-shaped structure, so that in the region of the removal opening 40 of the separating edge of the inner blank 32 against the separation edge of the opening tab 41 is reset ( Fig. 17 ).
- Fig. 12 shows an expanded outer panel 14 as an alternative to Fig. 3 , While in the latter embodiment, the outer bottom wall 12 has a single layer is, exists according to Fig. 12 the bottom wall of an inner tab 63 which is connected to the outer rear wall 16 and an outer tab 64 adjacent to the outer front wall 15.
- the tabs 63, 64 are approximately equal in size, so that the bottom wall is formed double-ply overall.
- Fig. 16 and Fig. 18 are cross-sections of the pack, namely the one hand Fig. 1 (Cross section in Fig. 16 ) and on the other hand the Fig. 7 (Cross section in Fig. 18 ).
- the off-center, so offset lying opening aids each form a discharge opening 40 with four exposed cigarettes 10 (indicated by hatching).
- the position of the glue points 48 for connecting the tear-off tab 46 to the opening tab 41 is important.
- the respective glue spots 48 are arranged substantially in the region of a cigarette, so that they have a certain support when the opening tab 41 is pressed against the respective glue points 48 of the tear-off tab 46 form.
- a durable for the duration of use of the package connection is given - in particular by full-surface gluing - while the reclosing effective connection in the region of the edge strips 44th should have a relatively lower durability, namely the opening of the closure label 43 should allow easy removal of the same from the wall of the package.
- the blank 14 is provided over its entire surface with a coating on the outside (lacquer layer).
- This has a recess 65 in the region of the (glue) connection of the closure label 43 with increased strength.
- the closure label 43 preferably with a full-surface layer of glue, lies directly against the packaging material (cardboard, paper).
- this area is shown as hatched area.
- a permanently strong adhesive bond of the closure label 43 is provided with the outer panel 14. Outside the recess 15, namely in the region of the edge strips 44, the (more easily detachable) glue connection of the closure label 43 with the coating of the packaging material is provided.
- the surface 65 be prepared in other ways for a permanent (area) adhesion of the closure label 43, z. B. by an effective coating.
- All embodiments described above can also be designed in such a way that - waiving the connection between the outer package 12 and the inner pack 13 - connection of opening tab 41 and tear-off tab 46 - only the outer package 12 is opened, that receives a removal opening 40.
- the inner blank 32 then has to be opened by hand in the region of the removal opening 40 formed in order to remove cigarettes 10.
- FIGS. 20 to 25 show examples of a special design of this opening aid exclusively in the area of the outer end wall 18th Fig. 26 is the alternative training of the opening aid accordingly Fig. 2 ,
- this embodiment which is also analogous to the other examples described, only the opening tab 41 is connected to the closure label 43 (full surface) by gluing. By operating the closure label 43, the opening tab 41 is accordingly separated from the composite with the outer package 12. The inner pack 13 remains intact during this opening process and must be opened by a separate measure.
- the opening tab 41 is - as in the example of Fig. 2 - Designed so that in the region of transverse packing edges 50 between the outer end wall 18 on the one hand and outer front wall 15 or outer rear wall 16 on the other hand transverse line joints 68, 69 of the opening tab 41 are formed. These facilitate in particular the return of the opening tab 41 in the closed position while adapting to the contour of the outer package 12.
- the line joint 69 in the region of the rear edge of the package allows the pivotal movement of the opening tab 41st
- FIGS. 20 to 25 is the opening aid or the opening tab 41 exclusively in the region of the outer end wall 18, and arranged eccentrically on one side, analogous to the embodiments according to Fig. 10, Fig. 11 such as Fig. 17 ,
- the due to the Round corners 26 at the free edge tongue-shaped opening tab 41 corresponds to the width of the corresponding dimension of the outer end wall 18.
- the tongue-like end contour of the outer end wall 18 facilitates the initiation of the separation process when opening the package.
- a transverse line joint 69 allows - analogous to Fig. 26 - The pivoting movement of the opening tab 41 between closed and open position.
- the closure label 43 On the outside of the closure label 43 is attached, which as a strip-shaped structure preferably in the width of the outer end wall 18 in a partial area which is greater than the corresponding dimension of the opening tab 41, covers under permanent connection with the opening tab 41st Die VerInstitutetikett 43 has according to the contour of the outer end wall 18 curves 71.
- An actuating leg 72 extends on the associated outer side wall 23, in the width thereof, namely only in the (planar) area between the round edges 24, that is, with a smaller width than the closure label 43, moreover.
- At the free end of the (tongue-like, adhesive-free) grip tab 45 is formed. By detecting them, the shutter label 43 can be pulled to the open position shown in FIG. 21.
- the inner pack 13 remains closed in this embodiment.
- a special feature here is the formation of the blank for the outer package 12 ( Fig. 22 ). It lacks in this embodiment corner tabs on the side of the opening tab 41, so the example in Fig. 3 As a result, the region of a transverse edge of the outer end wall 18 remains without connection to the outer side wall 23.
- a cover is provided by the closure label 43, which covers a gap formed between outer end wall 18 and outer side wall 23 in the closed position , Incidentally, the blank ( Fig. 22 ) formed in the same manner as that according to Fig. 3 , It is also possible a design accordingly Fig. 12 ,
- an opening tab 41 of the outer pack 12 is also arranged exclusively in the region of the outer end wall 18, in the width thereof and with its contour.
- perforation lines 70 are arranged for the (lateral) delimitation of the opening tab 41.
- a transverse punched cut 73 delimits the opening tab 41 from the remaining part of the outer end wall 18.
- the closure label 43 extends over the full area of the opening tab 41 with a projection which forms the grip tab 45. Upon actuation of the closure label 43, this is therefore initially subtracted from the outer end wall 18. Then, the opening tab 41 is detected and separated along the perforation lines 70 from the connection with the outer package 12 - outer front wall 15 and outer rear wall 16 -.
- the opening tab 41 is connected as edge-side portion of the outer end wall 18 with the corner tabs 30, which may be formed in the same manner as the opposite corner tabs 29.
- the corner tabs 30 is connected to the inside or bottom of the outer end wall 18, (specifically) in the region of the opening tab 41, in particular by (three) glue points 31. These are in the production of the package on the inside of the blank ( Fig. 25 ) is arranged so that upon folding of the outer package 12 of the corner tabs 30 is connected to the outer end wall 18 and the opening tab 41.
- the opening tab 41 Upon actuation of the closure label 43 thus the opening tab 41 is pivoted while maintaining the connection with the corner tabs 30 about a common folding joint 74.
- a hinge connection between the opening tab 41 and the outer side wall 23 is provided.
- the inner package 13 may be formed or folded in different embodiments in these embodiments.
- Advantageous is an embodiment in which the Inner panel is folded over the cigarette group 11 in a conventional manner, such that a conventional end fold with trapezoidal end tabs 75 is formed, such as in a standard soft cup package.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft Zigarettenpackungen mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to cigarette packs having the features of the preamble of claim 1.
Eine nach dem Konzept einer Weichbecherpackung ausgebildete Zigarettenpackung mit einem mehrfach benutzbaren Verschluss einer Innenpackung ist bekannt durch
Weiterhin ist eine Zigarettenpackung bekannt, bei der die Innenpackung als Dichtpackung ausgebildet ist mit einer die Zigarettengruppe umgebenden, thermisch siegelbaren und feuchtigkeitsdichten Folie. Diese bildet seitliche Flossennähte und eine Quernaht. Eine mehrfach benutzbare Öffnungshilfe ist im Bereich der Innenpackung als Öffnungslasche ausgebildet, die sich über die Breite der Stirnwand und über einen stirnseitigen Bereich der Vorderwand erstreckt. Ein Endstück der Lasche ist mit Leimpunkten an einer Innenlage der Innenpackung in Schließstellung fixierbar. Die Außenpackung ist nach Art einer Faltpackung mit Verschlusslasche ausgebildet, die sich über die Stirnseite und einen oberen Bereich der Frontseite erstreckt. Die Öffnungslasche der Innenpackung ist mit der Verschlusslasche verbunden, wird also mit dieser betätigt beim Öffnen und Schließen. Diese Packung ist hinsichtlich des einzusetzenden Materials und hinsichtlich der Konstruktion aufwendig und komplex. Die Fertigung einer derartigen Packung ist schwierig (
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Zigarettenpackung vorzuschlagen, die eine erhöhte Formstabilität aufweist und einen einfach und zuverlässig handhabbaren Öffnungsmechanismus. Darüber hinaus soll die Packung auf (herkömmlichen) Packern leistungsfähig produziert werden können.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist die erfindungsgemäße Packung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 ausgebildet.
Die Außenpackung ist im Bereich einer geschlossenen Stirnwand mit einer definierten Öffnungslasche versehen. Diese ist in Schließstellung von einem Betätigungs- oder Verschlussetikett überdeckt. Beim Abziehen desselben von der Außenpackung wird aufgrund der Klebeverbindung die Öffnungslasche aus dem Verbund mit dem Zuschnitt der Außenpackung herausgetrennt und in die Öffnungsstellung geführt, wobei aufgrund der Ausbildung und Anordnung der Öffnungslasche die gebildete Entnahmeöffnung der Außenpackung ausschließlich im Bereich der Stirnwand gebildet ist.
Die Innenpackung ist im Bereich der Entnahmeöffnung mit einem korrespondierenden, teilweise abtrennbaren Gegenstück zur Öffnungslasche der Außenpackung versehen, nämlich mit einer Abrisslasche des Innenzuschnitts. Diese ist so angebracht und mit der Öffnungslasche verbunden, dass stets eine Einheit aus entsprechenden Teilstücken des Außenzuschnitts und des Innenzuschnitts in die Öffnungsstellung gebracht werden, derart, dass Innenpackung und Außenpackung die Entnahmeöffnung ausschließlich im Bereich der Stirnwand aufweisen.
Die Öffnungslasche einerseits und die Abrisslasche andererseits sind im Bereich geschlossener Wandungen der Außenpackung und der Innenpackung gebildet. Besonders geeignet ist ein Zuschnitt der Außenpackung, bei der die Außen-Stirnwand frei von Faltlappen ist - mit Ausnahme von Ecklappen. Der Zuschnitt der Innenpackung ist zweckmäßigerweise analog ausgebildet, nämlich vorzugsweise mit einer geschlossenen Innen-Stirnwand ohne Faltlappen in diesem Bereich, wobei die Fertigung des Zigarettenblocks so abläuft, dass die Zigarettengruppe mit ihren Filtern in Transportrichtung vorn liegend dem Zuschnitt zugeführt werden.
Die Außenpackung besteht aus einem reißfähigen Verpackungsmaterial, also insbesondere dünnem Karton, Papier oder vorzugsweise aus einem Rigid-Soft-Verpackungsmaterial (Papier mit einem Gewicht von 135 g/m2 bis 150 g/m2). Der Innenzuschnitt besteht aus Papier, Stanniol oder (reißfähiger) Folie.

When removing the same from the outer pack, the opening tab is separated out of the composite with the blank of the outer pack and led into the open position due to the adhesive bond, the formed discharge opening of the outer pack is formed solely in the region of the end wall due to the design and arrangement of the opening tab.
The inner pack is provided in the region of the removal opening with a corresponding, partially separable counterpart to the opening tab of the outer pack, namely with a tear-off tab of the inner blank. This is so attached and connected to the opening tab that always a unit of corresponding sections of the outer panel and the inner blank are brought into the open position, such that the inner pack and outer pack have the removal opening only in the region of the end wall.
The opening tab on the one hand and the tear-off tab on the other hand are formed in the area of closed walls of the outer pack and the inner pack. Particularly suitable is a blank of the outer package, in which the outer end wall is free of folding flaps - with the exception of corner flaps. The cut of the inner pack is expediently designed analogously, namely preferably with a closed inner end wall without folding tabs in this area, wherein the production of the cigarette block proceeds so that the cigarette group are fed with their filters in the transport direction lying in front of the blank.
The outer package consists of a tear-resistant packaging material, so in particular thin cardboard, paper or preferably from a rigid-soft packaging material (paper with a weight of 135 g / m 2 to 150 g / m 2 ). The inner cut consists of paper, tin foil or (tear-able) foil.

Der Außenzuschnitt 14 ist so ausgebildet, dass der Packungsinhalt, also die Innenpackung 13, vollständig und allseitig umschlossen ist. Der Außenzuschnitt 14 bildet demnach eine Außen-Vorderwand 15, eine Außen-Rückwand 16, eine Außen-Bodenwand 17 und eine Außen-Stirnwand 18. Weiterhin sind im Bereich von Vorderwand 15 und Rückwand 16 Seitenlappen angeordnet, nämlich äußere Seitenlappen 19 an der Vorderwand 15 und innere Seitenlappen 20 an der Rückwand 16. Die Seitenlappen 19 und 20 sind bei der fertigen Packung durch Leim - Leimpunkte 21 am äußeren Seitenlappen 19 - miteinander verbunden und bilden Außen-Seitenwände 22, 23 der fertigen Packung.The
Eine Besonderheit besteht darin, dass aufrechte Packungskanten als Rundkanten 24 ausgebildet sind, also im Querschnitt viertelkreisförmig, etwa entsprechend der Abmessung einer Zigarette 10. Die Rundkanten 24 sind durch eine Gruppe von parallelen Rillen 25 des Außen-Zuschnitts 14 definiert. Die Außen-Bodenwand 17 und die Außen-Stirnwand 18 sind mit entsprechend ausgebildeten Rundecken 26 versehen.A special feature is that upright packing edges are formed as round edges 24, so in a quarter circle in cross-section, approximately corresponding to the dimension of a
Der Außenzuschnitt 14 ist nach dem Längsfaltprinzip aufgebaut, jedoch mit einer besonderen Reihenfolge der Wandungen. Zwischen der Außen-Vorderwand 15 und der Außen-Rückwand 16 befindet sich die Außen-Stirnwand 18. Diese ist demnach frei von Verbindungslappen. Die Außen-Bodenwand 17 schließt an das freie Ende der Außen-Rückwand 16 an. Am freien Rand der Außen-Bodenwand 17 ist ein - trapezförmiger - Verbindungslappen 27 angebracht. Dieser liegt bei der fertigen Packung an der Innenseite der Außen-Vorderwand 15 an und ist mit dieser verbunden, vorliegend durch (drei in Reihe angeordnete) Leimpunkte 28. Ecklappen 29, 30 dienen zur Verbindung der Außen-Seitenwände 22, 23 mit der Bodenwand 17 bzw. Stirnwand 18. Die Ecklappen 29, 30 liegen an der Innenseite der Bodenwand 17 und der Stirnwand 18 an und sind dort jeweils mittels Leim (zwei Leimpunkte 31) fixiert.
