Definitions

  • This invention relates to a machine and a method for making cigarette packets of the type commonly known as "shoulder boxes".
  • the term "shoulder box” is used to designate a packet comprising a base and a lid which is hinged to the base by means of an adhesive label which is glued both to the base and to the lid. Both the base and the lid have the shape of a flat, open-top box. Inside the base there is a collar which protrudes from the side walls of the base towards the lid to act as a guide and reference for lid movement and, by interfering slightly with the free movement of the lid, to keep the lid in contact with the base when the lid is in the closed position.
  • the base houses a group of cigarettes comprising two superposed layers of cigarettes.
  • a "shoulder-box" packet of this kind is made from a first blank, which is gummed and folded to form the base, a second blank which is independent of the first blank and which is gummed and folded to form the lid, a third blank which is independent of the first and second blanks and which is folded to form the collar and then placed inside the base and glued to the side walls of the base, and, lastly, a label which is wrapped around and glued to the base and lid in order to hinge the base to the lid.
  • the three blanks are made independently of each other and fed manually to the different wrapping units. That means making a "shoulder-box" packet is a somewhat slow and complex process because it involves not only separately handling and manually loading three distinct blanks but also having to use three independent wrapping units, each of which folds a corresponding blank.
  • shoulder-box production of a "shoulder-box" packet is further slowed if accessory components have to be placed inside it: for example, a spacer to be disposed on the base, or an inner frame, coupon or other insert to be disposed on top of the group of cigarettes.
  • This invention therefore has for an aim to provide a machine and a method for making cigarette packets of the "shoulder box" type to overcome the disadvantages described above with reference to the prior art.
  • the aim of this invention is to provide a machine and a method for making cigarette packets of the "shoulder box" type capable of automating and simplifying the production of such packets and thereby reducing process times, even if accessory components need to be placed inside the packets.
  • FIG. 1 An example of a "shoulder box" packet 100 is illustrated with reference to Figure 1 .
  • the packet 100 comprises a base 101 having the shape of a flat box which is open at the top, and a lid 102 having the shape of a flat box which is open at the bottom.
  • a label 103 is glued both to the base and to the lid in order to hinge the lid to the base.
  • a collar 104 is positioned inside the base 101 and protrudes from the side walls of the base towards the lid 102.
  • the collar 104 constitutes a shoulder which helps keep the lid 102 in the closed position. In use, the collar 104 delimits the space occupied by a group of cigarettes intended to be contained in the packet 100.
  • the packet 100 is illustrated in cross section and includes accessory components such as a spacer 105, disposed on the base 101, and a coupon 106, disposed on top of the cigarettes.
  • Figure 2 shows a possible embodiment of a machine 1 for making cigarette packets 100 of the "shoulder-box" type according to the invention.
