Description

The invention relates to a folding box for cigarettes or other objects with the features of the preamble of claim 1. Folding boxes for cigarettes with cooperating in the closed position and in particular when opening the lid support members are known ( EP 0 841 263 A1 ). The support members consist in this known package of a pivotable tab, which is arranged at an upper, free edge of a conventional collars in collapsible boxes. The tab cooperates with a supporting edge of a lid inner flap. This is provided for positionally correct arrangement of the support edge with a recess. The flap attached to the collar or tab is in the closed position of the lid with an edge on the support edge of the lid inner flap on. The flap attached to the collar front wall creates a ("click") noise when the lid is opened.

From the WO 01/049 577 is a generic folding box known.

The invention has for its object to propose packages for cigarettes in particular, preferably in the embodiment as a folding box, which are provided with a closing aid for the lid, such that their organs generate a clicking sound at least when opening the lid, wherein cooperating supporting Or click members in a simple manner without the use of additional blanks or foreign parts of the pack to be produced.

To solve this problem, the package according to the invention is characterized by the features of claim 1.

The use of protrusions produced by embossing the packaging material - thin cardboard - is advantageous in terms of production, because the support members thus formed can be mounted in the production of the blanks by means of corresponding embossing tools, in particular in conjunction with stamping tools, in continuous production without changing the standard manufacturing process.

Particularly advantageous is an embodiment in which a plurality, preferably two support members produced by embossing aligned next to each other on a collar front wall of a collar are positioned and at least one pivotable tab - click tab or click tongue - by punching in the region of a lid inner lobe the lid is arranged as a counter-organ. The advantage is an improved "click action" when opening the lid.

Another special feature is that the lid inner tabs as a carrier of the click-tab has recesses or depressions into which the support members formed by stamping the collar front wall with the lid closed enter. Due to particular, selected dimensions of the embossing projections (depth or height of the projection) is ensured that the entering into the recesses embossing projections are not deformed by the closed lid to reduce the effectiveness ("flattened").

According to a further development, a plurality of support members produced by embossing may be arranged in staggered operative positions, preferably on the collar front wall. These multiple embossing projections are arranged in corresponding relative position arranged click tabs in the lid front wall. This creates on the one hand an improved closing function for the lid, but on the other hand also a noticeable (double) click sound effect.

Another special feature is the arrangement of the "click mechanism" in packages without collar or packs with a sealing block for the contents of the package and an opening aid with adhesive label and grip tab. At this Pack form is a collar of the folding box in the region of the collar front wall by the opening aid at least partially hidden. According to the invention, in this case, the tab (click tab) and the embossing projections are arranged in the rear region of the package, that is, facing the rear wall. For a click-tab, a separate blank is placed in the package or a leg of the collar extending in the region of the back. The embossing projections are attached to the inside of the lid, in particular to a lid corner tab, which bears against a front wall of the lid in a standard blank on the inside.

In the drawings, the preferred scope of the innovation is shown, namely the special design of (cigarette) packs of the type folding box. This pack type consists in the basic structure of a (lower) box part 10 and a lid 11. Both pack parts are connected together in one unit, via a rear, transverse line joint 12. Another component of the pack is a collar 13, usually in the box part 10th is anchored (by gluing) and protrudes with an upper portion of the box part 10, so that when the package is closed, this part of the collar 13 is enclosed by the lid 11.

The pack - box part 10 and lid 11 - consists of a one-piece blank, the whole in, for example, in Fig. 7 is shown. The blank of thin cardboard or similar packaging material is provided with fold lines and punches for demarcation of box front wall 14, bottom wall 15, box rear wall 16, lid rear wall 17, end wall 18 and lid front wall 19. On the free side of the cover Front wall 19 is a folding flap, which is folded against the inside of the lid front wall 19 and forms a lid inner tabs 20.

Side walls of the package are formed double-layered, namely consist of outer box side tabs 21 and inner box side tabs 22. In an analogous manner, the side walls of the lid 11 are formed, namely, outer lid side tabs 23 and inner lid side tabs 24. The side lobes 20..24 are each attached to associated packing walls 14, 16, 17, 19 are mounted.

Furthermore, in this type of packing, corner flaps are common, namely bottom corner flaps 25 and top flaps 26. The bottom flaps 25 are connected to the inner box side flaps 22 and are in the finished package on the inside of the bottom wall 15. In an analogous manner the lid corner flaps 26 connected to the lid rear wall 17 are folded against the inside of the end wall 18, as exemplified in FIG Fig. 1 shown.

The content of the pack is (originally) parallelepipedic, namely consists in particular of a group of cigarettes 51, which is enveloped by an inner blank 27 to form a cigarette block 28. The inner blank 27 may consist of Stanniol, paper or a sealing film.

The collar 13 usually consists of a collar front wall 29 and collar side tabs 30, which are directed in the folded position transversely to the collar front wall 29 and abut against side surfaces of the cigarette block 27 and on the inside of the side walls of the box part 10 and the lid 11. The collar front wall 29 is provided in the upper region with a recess 31 which is bounded by a contoured collar edge 32.

The peculiarity of the packs is in organs that generate a noise especially when opening the lid 11 and also fulfill a function as a closing aid. Box part 10 and the collar 13 on the one hand and the lid 11 on the other hand are provided with supporting edges having support members which are adjacent to each other in the closed position of the lid with mutually facing support edges. Due to the arrangement and design of the support members, a (click) noise is generated in particular when opening the lid 11.

In each case one of the support members is formed as a stamping projection 33, 34. This increase in material is in the production of blanks, especially when separating the same of a material web, attached, alternatively to the blanks for the collar 13 or the blank of the package itself. The design, namely the technical design of the embossing projections 33, 34 is a feature. As a limitation, a (cross-sectional) punched cut 35 is mounted in the wall of the blank, transversely to the closing or opening movement of the lid 11. The punching cut 35 forms after the creation of the embossing projection 33, 34 due to the material deformation a transverse support edge 36 of the embossing projection 33rd , 34. The support edge 36 has a rounded or part-circular contour due to the curved, lenticular design of the embossing projection 33, 34th

Advantageous are particular dimensions of the embossing projections 33, 34, in dependence on the thickness or thickness of the material used. For (thin) cardboard in the usual design (240 g / m ² ), the length of the punched cut 35 with (about) 5 mm is optimal. For thicker packaging material (up to 400 g / m ² ), the length of the punched cut can be 35 to 7 mm. With thinner packaging material (135 g / m ² to 180 g / m ² ), the length of the punched cut 35 can be 3 mm to 4 mm.

The counter-supporting member to the embossing projections 33, 34 may be formed in a suitable manner. A functional feature is, however, given when the embossing projections 33, 34 is associated with a pivotable material lobes, namely a click-tab or click-tongue 38. The click-tongue 38 is preferably trapezoidal and pivotable along a fold line 39. Opposite, the (shorter) counter-supporting edge 40 is formed. The fold line 39 is preferably formed as a line with material weakening, z. B. as a perforation line to ensure a safe pivotal movement of the click-tongue 38.

The supporting edges of the support members thus formed, namely the supporting edge 36 and the counter-supporting edge 40, can lie against each other when the lid is closed. However, a distance is advantageous - preferably in the area from 0.5 mm to 2 mm - between the support edge 36 and counter-supporting edge 40, so that the mutual contact only during the opening movement of the lid 11 is effective. For the generation of the clicking sound is important that the click tongue during a phase of contact with the embossing projections 33, 34 has a deformation, which leads to the generation of noise of the lid with continued opening movement. This click effect is particularly effective when according to the embodiments according to Fig. 1 to Fig. 9 (Two) embossing projections 33 on the collar front wall 29 and a thereto associated click tongue 38 is attached to the lid 11, namely on the lid inner tab 20. The arrangement is such that the support edges 36 of the embossing projections 33 facing down and the Counter support edge 40 is directed to the lid 11 to the end wall 18.

The click-tongue 38 is arranged in a special way, according to the embodiments Fig. 1 to Fig. 9 on the lid inner tab 20. The (trapezoidal) click-tongue 38 is located within a punched-41 of the inner flap 20. The created thereby recess in the lid inner tab 20 has a substantially rectangular contour and is significantly larger than the click-tongue 38th This lies freely within the cutout 41. The fold line 39 of the click-tongue 38 also forms a (longitudinal) edge of the recess 41. In the finished package, a recess is created on the inside of the lid front wall 19 by the punch-out 41, in which the attached to the collar front wall 29 projections 33, 34 can occur with the lid closed 11 (position according to Fig. 4 ). The projections 33, 34 protrude into the free space of the punched-out 41 (above the click-tongue 38) and are thus not under pressure of the lid front wall 19 when the lid 11 is closed.

Arrangement and dimensions of the embossing projections 33, 34 are selected so that they lie with the lid closed 11 substantially pressure and stress-free within the created recess of the lid inside. The thickness or height of the embossing projections 33, 34, ie the projection with respect to the plane of the collar front wall 29, is preferably matched to the thickness of the packaging material, in particular to the material thickness of the lid inner tab 20. Advantageously, a dimension of the embossing projections 33, 34 (Supernatant) in the range of 0.75 times to 2.0 times the material thickness. The preferred material thickness of the packaging material (cardboard) is (approximately) 0.3 mm. The deformation of the embossing projections 33, 34 is preferably in this range of thickness in a range between 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm. Furthermore, the click-tongue 38 or the click-tab 44 in the area of the counter-support edge 40 preferably has a dimension which is significantly greater than the dimension between the outer or edge contours of the embossing projections 33, 34, so that even with low manufacturing tolerances it is ensured that the counter-supporting edge 40 always lies with the full length in the region of the supporting edges 36.

In the embodiment according to FIG. 6 to FIG. 9 are embossing projections 33, 34 - in the region of the collar front wall 29 - arranged in a staggered operative position, preferably at different distances from the collar edge 32. The (two) embossing projections 33, 34 are preferably separate click-tongues 38, 42 assigned to the vote with the position of the embossing projections 33, 34 may also be positioned in a staggered arrangement. Due to the relative position of the embossing projections 33, 34 on the one hand and the click-tongues 38, 42 associated therewith on the other hand, depending on the speed of the opening movement of the lid 11, a modified clicking sound or a double noise can be generated. The two click-tongues 38, 42 are arranged side by side, in particular in a common punched 41 corresponding width. The click-tongues 38, 42 are associated with the different embossing projections 33, 34, namely two adjacent and cooperating embossing projections 33, 34. Their support edges 36 are arranged according to the relative position with an offset 43 to each other. Similarly, the click-tongues 38, 42 may be offset from each other, with respect to the fold lines 39 and / or with respect to the counter-supporting edges 40. When the lid ( Fig. 9 ) - depending on the predetermined relative position of the support members - the click-tongues 38, 42 alternatively at the same time or offset in time with the embossing projections 33, 34 and the support edges 36 come into engagement. The result is that at the same time or offset in time a corresponding noise.

In the embodiment according to 10 to FIG. 13 support members are arranged in the embodiment as embossing projection 33 in the region of the lid 11, in the present case on the cover inner tab 20. The embossing projections 33, preferably two adjacent ones, can be produced during the production of the blank, in particular at the same time as the attachment of fold lines and blank punches. The embossing projections 33 of this embodiment are formed in the manner described.

Due to corresponding relative position of the embossing projections 33 of the lid 11, the click tab 44 is mounted centrally on the collar front wall 29, in the region of the collar edge 32. The click tab 44 is formed analogously to the click-tongues 38, 42, namely trapezoidal to form an exposed support edge 36. Furthermore, the click-tab 44 is pivotable about a fold line 39. This is preferably arranged in continuation of the collar edge 32. The click-tab 44 opposite side of the collar front wall 29 is formed with a contour that allows a residue-free separation of the collar blanks of a continuous material web.

The click-tab 44 is in an initial position, so with the lid closed 11, on the collar front wall 29 at. The relative position is chosen so that the embossing projections 33 of the lid 11 are below the support edge 36, preferably at a distance. At the beginning of the opening process, a contact between the support organs ( Fig. 13 ). This causes a (click) noise.

The embodiment according to FIGS. 14 to 16 is formed in an analogous manner. Embossing projections 33 (two) are arranged in the region of the inner lid flap 20, but in a changed relative position (closer to the end wall 18). This arrangement corresponds to the position of the click tab 44 present ( Fig. 16 ) is arranged in the region of the collar front wall 29, specifically below the collar edge 32.

The click-tab 44 is directed in this example down, the fold line 39 is therefore above the click-tab 44, adjacent to the collar edge 32 and in particular parallel to this. The click-tab 44 is preferably formed trapezoidal and in the present case only by a corresponding punching cut formed in the collar front wall 29. In the production of the collar blanks or the package, the click-tab 44 is brought into a functional position, namely directed in an inclined position to the outside ( Fig. 17 ).

In the above embodiments according to 10 to FIG. 13 on the one hand and FIGS. 14 to 16 On the other hand, the collar 13 in the region of the collar front wall 29 is alternatively formed so that with the lid closed recesses or depressions are created for the entry of the embossing projections 33, so they are not deformed by the closed lid 11 in the sense of flattening. In the former embodiment, corresponding punches, so separate recesses, be mounted in the region of the collar front wall 29, namely at the point at which the projections 33 lie with the lid 11 closed. In the embodiment according to FIGS. 14 to 17 can the collar front wall 29 have a punched analogous to the punched 41 described.

The embodiment according to FIG. 18 to FIG. 21 and the example according to Fig. 22 relate to solutions in which the cooperating support members, in particular embossing projections 33 and click tongue or click tab 44 on the lid 11 on the one hand and the box part 10 on the other hand are positioned so that collar front wall 29 and possibly collar side tabs 30 on the other hand not as Carriers of supportive organs are affected. For this, 10 separate support members are rather provided in the area of the box part. As a result, the in the Figures 18-22 illustrated embodiments no longer part of the invention according to claim 1.

In the embodiment FIG. 18 to FIG. 21 the lock or click mechanism is moved to the back of the pack. A support member, in the present example the click tab 44, is located at the rear of the pack, on a separate support piece 47 positioned between the carton rear wall 16 and the cigarette block 28. Advantageously, an embodiment in which the support piece 47 is connected to the collar 13, with the free edge of a collar side flap 30. The support piece 47 is folded as a (further) leg of the collar 13 against the back of the cigarette block 28 and such positioned that the click-tab 44 free lies. In particular, this protrudes beyond the cigarette block 28. The fold line 39 for limiting the click tab 44 is equal to the upper limit (rear transverse edge) of the cigarette block 28 (FIG. Fig. 18, Fig. 21 ).

The support piece 47 is preferably formed as a separate blank - preferably with standard design of the collar 13 - and positioned in the rear area, ie between the cigarette block 28 and the box rear wall 16. The support piece 47 is connected in particular by gluing to the box rear wall 16, but may alternatively extend over the full height of the box part 10 or the cigarette block 28 and be supported on the bottom wall 15.

The cooperating with the click-tab 44 supporting members are arranged on the inside of the lid 11, in the present case in the form of (two) embossing projections 33. These are positioned so that they in the manner described in the opening operation of the lid 11 with the click-tab 44 cooperate ( Fig. 21 ). Advantageously, an attachment of the side-by-side embossing projections 33 on a lid corner tab 26. This is located on the inside of the end wall 18 at. The embossing projections 33 are so mounted - preferably in the manufacture of the blank according to Fig. 19 - that the bulges and the supporting edges 36 are directed inwards. Due to corresponding relative positions and dimensions, the described engagement between the click tab 44 and the embossing projections 33 results when the lid 11 is opened.

The above embodiment is advantageous, for example, if the package (folding box) receives a sealing block 48 as package contents, that is to say a wrapping of the cigarettes by means of a sealing film. The sealing block is usually provided in the upper frontal area with an opening aid which operates with a closure label 49. This extends to an end wall and a subsequent region of a front wall. A gripping tab 50 of the closure label 49 is in the starting position in a region of the collar 13 or the collar front wall 29, so that here the possibility for the arrangement of the support organs deleted. In the embodiment according to Fig. 22 the gripping tab 50 is fixed (permanently) to the inside of the lid front wall 19. The embodiment described above ( FIG. 18 to FIG. 21 ) allows the attachment of a closing aid or click mechanism also in this type of packs.

The described and illustrated click mechanism can also be used in other forms of packaging, as far as they have a lower part and a lid and contain structures that are comparable with collar and inner lobes.
