Abstract

In a pack (10), preferably cigarette pack, a band (11), preferably a control band, in the region of a rear wall (18) of the pack (10), adjacent to a bottom wall attached. The preferably rectangular band (11) is attached to the package (10) with a plurality of glue dots arranged in rows, in particular by edge rows of hot glue dots (19, 20) and at least one middle row of cold glue dots (21). Furthermore, the band (11) is provided with a punching section (24) of a plurality of punched lines (23), in the region of which at least individual glue points (20, 21) are located.

Description

The invention relates to a pack, in particular cigarette pack, according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing packages according to the preamble of claim 12. Furthermore, the invention relates to a pack according to the preamble of claim 16.

In the foreground are packages for cigarettes or other products of the tobacco industry, which are provided on the outside with a band, in particular a tax banderole. The band should be designed and / or attached to the package so that it can not be removed by the consumer non-destructive from the pack.

Known are cigarette packs with banderole, in which a usual in such packages outer wrapper made of foil with a tear strip destroys the banderole upon initial opening of the pack, namely when removing the outer wrapper (FIG. DE 10 2011 109 233 A1 ). The band is fixed in this prior art by glue strips or by glue spots on a large surface of the package on the one hand and on the associated wall of the outer envelope on the other. The glue connections to the package, on the one hand, and to the outer casing, on the other hand, are staggered, such that upon actuation of the tear-off strip or during removal of film parts of the outer wrapper from the package Banderole is severed in the region of a transverse perforation line and thus destroyed. The glue compounds are on the one hand designed as cold glue compounds and on the other hand as hot melt compounds.

Also known is a cigarette pack with band, which is attached by means of glue dots of different holding force to the package. The banderole is fixed with glue dots on the one hand on the package and on the other hand on an outer wrapper made of film. Furthermore, several marginal, short perforation lines are provided on the band. Removing the outer wrap is expected to destroy the banderole along at least one partial perforation line ( EP 1 995 183 A1 ).

The invention is concerned with further developed, improved embodiments with regard to the design and arrangement of a (control) band on a package and possibly on the outer envelope thereof, such that in packages with or without the involvement of the outer wrap on the destruction of the band destroyed this reliable If, for example, a manual attempt is made to remove the banderole (after removing the outer wrapper) from the package.

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

In the context of the invention, the terms weakening line, perforation line and punching line are used interchangeably. The weakening line may be formed by a scoring or scoring.

The innovation is therefore based on a special interaction of the glue joints between band and packing on the one hand and preferably transverse lines of weakening of the band on the other. When removing the band from the package (either by hand or with the help of the outer wrapper), the band is destroyed especially in the area of the lines of weakness, with the formation of at least partially separated (strip-shaped) parts of the band.

The glue compounds are preferably made of glue dots, due to different properties of cold glue on the one hand and hot glue on the other. The glue spots are applied to the banderole or to the packing by a special method, in particular such that glue, preferably several Glue points, in the area of several (transverse) lines of weakness are attached.

Particularly advantageous is a glue pattern in which at least at the four corners of the preferably rectangular bander glue points, in particular Heißleimpunkte are positioned. As a result, the band is temporarily fixed in the correct position on the package before the cold glue dots, which are likewise arranged on the band, become effective with regard to their connection. The glue spots are applied by glue nozzles. A special feature is that a selected glue pattern, in particular a series of cold glue dots, is applied to the package according to the position of the band to be applied. Hot glue dots are preferably applied (directly) to the (inside of) the banderole.

Another (also independent) innovation is the design and arrangement of the preferably transverse weakening lines of the band. Advantageous (mutually parallel) perforations of complementary arcuate punching lines, between which appropriate residual compounds are formed. Thereby, the unit of the banderole for the processing process is obtained. After attachment to the package, the number and location of the lines of weakness cause the band to be safely destroyed in the attempt to separate. This effect is significantly improved and optimized if at least one (cold) glue point is positioned in the area of the weakening lines.

This special effect of the safe destruction of the banderole can also be used in an embodiment in which a (foil) outer wrapper of the package participates in destroying the banderole, in which a portion of the same is connected to the outer wrapper by means of glue points positioned on the outside is.

An (independent) feature is the preparation or preparation of the band and the package according to claim 12. The bands are preferably provided by removal from a magazine during transport first by a perforating with the lines of weakness. Thereafter, the glue points on the outward, so exposed side, the connection side, the band applied. Along a preferably rectilinear path, the packs are fed, preferably with the back facing upwards. On this glue is applied, preferably a series of cold glue dots. In whose area will be Then put the band with the glued side on the package. Optionally, prior to attaching an outer wrap of foil to the free outer surface of the wrapper associated with the wrapper, a glue pattern may be applied to bond the wrapper to the outer wrapper.

Another independent feature, which may also be a development of the pack described above, results from claim 16. This variant of the invention is concerned with measures to prevent the reuse of the banderole. The solution provides that the pack is provided with a marking in the region of the band, such that the mark extends continuously over at least part of the band and over regions of the pack which adjoin the portion of the band.

The invention is concerned with the design and manufacture of packages 10 with a (separate) cut attached at a particular location, in particular in the form of a (control) banderole 11.

In the case of the packs 10, the first two embodiments are cigarette packs, in particular in the form of a folding box or hinged lid pack, with a box part 12 and a lid 13. The cuboid pack of thin cardboard is usually surrounded by an outer wrapper 14 Foil. This is taken off at the first use of the pack 10 of this, usually with the aid of a tear strip 15 which separates the outer sheath 14 with appropriate operation in (two) foil or envelope parts 16, 17 ( Fig. 7 ). It is understood that the invention can also be used in other types of packages.

In the foreground is the design and arrangement of the banderole 11. This is preferably designed as an elongated, rectangular blank ( Fig. 4, Fig. 5 ). The band 11 is attached to a suitable location of the pack 10 and connected thereto. In the present case, the band 11 is fastened to a rear wall 18 of the pack 10 or the box part 12, adjacent to a bottom wall. The band 11 is positioned with transverse longitudinal extension.

The band 11 is fixed by gluing, so by means of glue to the package 10.

The gluing preferably takes place by means of dot-shaped or circular-shaped glue patterns, that is to say by glue spots. Furthermore, it is advantageous if different glue points, namely cold glue on the one hand and hot glue on the other hand, in a special, coordinated manner for connecting the band 11 with the pack 10 and optionally with the outer sheath 14 are used. It is understood that within the scope of the invention, other types of glue or other glue patterns can be used.

According to an advantageous embodiment, (four) hot glue dots 19 are arranged adjacent to the corners of the banderole 11 for fixing the same in this critical for the exact, durable connection area and for securing the connection between the banderole 11 and pack 10 during transport of the same through the units , Further hot glue dots 20 may preferably be positioned adjacent to longitudinal edges of the band, at least one further hot glue dot 20 on each longitudinal side of the band 11. The glue dots 19, 20 and 21 are preferably arranged in ordered, parallel rows.

Cold glue spots 21 are positioned separately with (technically meaningful) distance from the hot glue dots 19, 20, in particular in a middle region of the banderole 11.

Preferably, a row of a plurality of cold glue dots 21 is mounted along a (imaginary) longitudinal centerline of the band 11. The preferably permanently spaced apart cold glue spots 21 may extend over the entire length of the banderole 11 or be positioned off-center, as a series of cold glue dots 21 over a partial length of the banderole 11.

The glue pattern is, in particular by the positioning of the hot glue dots 19, formed so that when attaching the band 11 to the package 10 in exact alignment immediately sufficient, safe against displacement positioning of the band is given because the hot glue points 19 in a short time a make sufficiently stable connection.

The band 11 is further provided with punches which form at least one (transverse or longitudinal) directed line of weakness, which together with the glue dots 19, 20, 21 ensure destruction of the band 11, if this is unlawfully separated from the pack 10.

By punching perforation lines or lines of weakness are formed, which are hereinafter referred to as punched lines 23. The terms line of weakness, perforation line and punch line are used as synonyms. It is also conceivable that the weakening line is formed by a grooving and / or scoring. The punching, creasing and scratching can also be used in combination with each other.

Advantageously, several, so at least two, punching lines 23 across the band 11, preferably in a central region. The (multiple) punching lines 23 are formed and arranged so that a structured punching area 22 is formed, which consists of several cooperating punching lines 23, on the one hand cause a reliable destruction of the banderole 11 in the process of detachment, on the other hand, the dimensional stability of the blank during processing and attachment to the package 10.

An embodiment in which the punching region 22 is arranged centrally in the region of the band 11 and covers approximately one third of the surface of the band 11 is advantageous.

In the embodiment of the Fig. 4 a plurality (five) of transversely directed arcuate punched lines 23 are provided. These consist of punching sections 24, in this case of arcuate punching sections 24, which complement each other to form a (wavy) punching line 23. It is understood that the punched sections 24 may also have a different shape.

Between the punching sections 24 and in particular at the end thereof (at the longitudinal edge of the banderole 11) sufficiently dimensioned residual joints 25 are created, so that the resilient cohesion of the banderole 11 is ensured for the processing process.

The punching area 22 forming punch lines 23 may be formed differently.

In the example of Fig. 5 the punching lines 23 consist of straight punched sections 24, which are directed at an angle to the marginal edges of the banderole 11. A special feature consists in the intersecting arrangement of a group of punched lines 23. Preferably, the punching area 22 consists of, for example, three each Punching lines 23 which are directed at (opposite) acute angles to each other. The sections of punching lines, that is to say punched sections 24, are dimensioned and arranged such that there is no direct crossing of the punched sections 24. Rather, residual connections 25 are arranged so that each punching section 24 is bounded at both ends by a residual connection 25. As a result, the shape of the banderole is guaranteed.

Also conceivable are punctiform punched sections 24.

At least one glue point, but preferably a plurality of glue spots 20 and / or 21, lie in the punching area 22. Preferably, a plurality of hot glue spots 20 and / or. or several cold glue spots 21 are positioned so that they lie in the region of punching lines 23. This ensures destruction of the banderole 11 during detachment.

Like, for example Fig. 7 can be seen by the separation process, for example, strip-shaped portions 26 of the banderole 11 due to the holding force of the glue joint in this area and due to the correspondingly structured punching lines 23. The sections 26 of the band remain in partial connection with associated Banderolenstücken 48, 49. Each (strip-shaped ) Section 26 is therefore limited by two punched lines 23.

The above effect is further increased by the fact that glue of the glue points 19, 20, 21 in the process of attaching the banderole 11 to the package 10 enter columns 27 of the banderole 11, which are formed by the punched holes, that is to say by the punched lines 23. The at this time formable or flowable glue compound occurs, as shown schematically in FIG Fig. 3 shown, in the joints or columns 27 and causes an additional local fixation of the band.

The package 10 may be formed differently with respect to the backup of the banderole 11. In the execution according to Fig. 1, Fig. 2 (in conjunction with the banderoles in Fig. 4, Fig. 5 ), the outer sheath 14 is separated, without affecting the banderole 11th Fig. 2 shows that in attempting to remove the banderole 11 manually, this is destroyed.

In the execution according to Fig. 6 to Fig. 8 the outer sheath 14 is involved in the destruction of the banderole 11, namely at the first use of the pack 10. In this variant, a modified glue pattern is preferably used. The arranged at the corners of the band 11 (hot) glue points 19 remain in this version. Further hot glue spots 20 are arranged in the area of the punched lines 23, but essentially only in one (in FIG Fig. 6, Fig. 7 The row of cold glue spots 21 does not extend over the full length of the banderole 11, but only into the punching area 22. Outside of this, glue spots are arranged on the outside of the banderole, in particular further (two) hot glue spots 28. These cause a connection of the outer sheath 14 with the band 11, namely with the outside thereof, by activation of the hot glue dots 28th

As a result, the process of Banderolenzerstörung over the example according to Fig. 1, Fig. 2 changed: By removing the outer sheath 14, the band 11 is destroyed. With the help of the tear strip 15, the wrapping parts 16, 17 are generated, of which the wrapping part 16 entrains a portion of the banderole 11 due to the glue connection. The arrangement of the glue points causes in this example that the band is destroyed in the punching area 22 to form the strip-shaped sections 26. The glue points 19 positioned in the corner area are also destroyed in this process ( Fig. 9 The holding force due to the (cold) glue points 21, so the connection of the sleeve 11 with the outer sheath 14, is therefore stronger than that of the (hot) glue points 19th generated holding force for connecting the banderole 11 with the package 10. This results in so (two) in the middle region not structured banderole pieces 48, 49 which are connected to the package 10 on the one hand and with a wrapping part 16 on the other.

An innovative feature is the production or preparation of the band 11 and the merge with the pack 10.

In the apparatus or the method according to Fig. 10 For example, the packages 10 are conveyed with the upwardly directed rear wall 18 along a (rectilinear) packing web 29 at a distance from one another through treatment stations, in the present case by means of packing belt 30 and drivers for detecting a respective pack 10.

Above the packing web 29 or above the packing belt 30, a banding apparatus 31 is positioned for preparing the banderoles 11, in particular for attaching the punching regions 22 and glueing points. Preferably, the banding apparatus 31 corresponds in construction and operation largely the corresponding device of EP 1 971 525 B1 ,

The banderoles 11 are successively removed from a banderole magazine 32 and transferred to a first processing unit of the banding apparatus 31. The banderoles 11 are detected by transmission organs, in particular of roller suckers. These transfer the banderole 11 to a punching unit 33 for attaching the punching lines 23 and the punching areas 22. The punching unit 33 is equipped with a special punching member 34, which punching knife has corresponding to each punching area 22 to be produced. The punching member 34 is at least partially movable, in this case rotatable. On the punching member 34 is a punch plate in particular a plate-shaped carrier 35 for the (transverse) cutting or punching knife attached. The carrier 35 (with the cutting knives) is interchangeably mounted on the punch 34 for the use of different punching tools or to replace the same when worn.

The rotatable punching member 34 acts for the punching operation together with a counter-member, in particular with a rotatable conveying roller 36 for the banderoles 11. These are fixed with their longitudinal extent in the circumferential direction facing the conveyor roller 36 by suction. The conveyor roller 36 is preferably provided with special support pieces for the bands, namely with segment-like banding carriers 37, each fixing a band 11 by means of suction.

The feeding of the banderoles 11 is monitored by an (optoelectronic) sensor 38, which puts the following organs, in particular Beleimungsorgane, out of service, when the supply of banderoles 11 is interrupted.

The punching unit 33 is followed (in the working direction) by a (first) gluing unit 39. This serves to apply glue to the exposed (inner) side of the band 11, in this case on the circumference of the conveying roller 36. The gluing unit 39 transmits glue spots, in particular hot glue spots 19, 20. The application of the glue points is effected by correspondingly formed valves, in the present case by (two) hot glue valves 40. These are arranged adjacent to the circumference of the conveying roller 36 and transmitted, preferably in each case a number of glue spots.

The banderoles 11 provided in the area of the gluing unit 39 with glue, in particular hot glue spots 19, 20, are deposited on the upwardly directed (rear) side 18 of the packs 10 due to coordinated movements. The packs 10 are transported for this purpose with their longitudinal extent pointing in the transverse direction. A special feature is that the packs 10 in the region of the attachment of the band 11 are already provided with glue, in particular with a series of cold glue dots 21. These are mounted in the correct position during the transport of the packs 10 through the packing belt 30, namely by a glue unit above the movement path of the packs 10, in particular by a cold glue nozzle 41.

The packages 10 provided with the band 11 in the desired position are transported along the package web 29 - through the package belt 30. During transport, the packs 10 are pressurized in the region of the banderoles 11 to fix the glue connection. Above the movement path 29 of the packs 10 there is a pressure belt 42, which receives contact with the packs 10 in the region of the bands 11 and moves along with them.

The packages 10 now reach into the region of a wrapping station 43. This serves for attaching the outer wrapping 14, that is for attaching a film blank 44 separated from a continuous web. The wrapping process takes place in the region of a folding turret 45 with pockets for accommodating a respective pack 10 Foil blank 44.

The packages 10 with banderole 11 can be directly supplied to the wrapping station 43 and surrounded by the film blank 44. This leads to a package 10 according to Fig. 1, Fig. 2 , In the drawings ( Fig. 10 . Fig. 11 ), an option is shown for producing packages 10 in accordance with the embodiment Fig. 6, Fig. 7 For this purpose, a further glue unit is positioned directly in the area of the wrapping station 43, in particular a hot glue nozzle 46. This serves for applying the glue dots 28 to the free outer side of the banderole 11. The relevant Gluing points 28 are applied before the wrapping process.

The packs 10 provided with the band 11 can be supplied directly to the wrapping station 43 or to a foil blank 44. For the transfer of the packs 10 to the folding turret 45, the packs 10 from the level of Packing web 29 lifted onto a gluing plane and / or the insertion level for inserting the packs 10 (with foil blank 44) into the folding turret 45. For the upward movement of the packs, a correspondingly movable lifting platform 47 follows the packing belt 30.

To illustrate the individual processing steps for the band 11 are in the patent drawings, namely in Fig. 10 symbolically the work steps carried out at certain, marked positions are shown (banderole with dot-dashed border).

The present technology can also be found in other types of packaging, including banderoles or labels without a fiscal background, eg. For quality labels, brands, etc.

Another embodiment is in FIGS. 13 and 14 shown. The pack 10 is in this case a tobacco pouch. However, it is understood that the solution described below (as well as the solution described above) can also be used in other packs 10, for example in cigarette packs or for other packs of the cigarette industry or tobacco products.

The pack 10 or the tobacco pouch has a wall-limited pocket 50 with an opening 51 for feeding or removing the contents of the package. The opening 51 can be closed by a bag flap 52. In the closed position, the bag flap 52 is fixed to the package 10 by a multiple-actuatable closure tape 53. Furthermore, a (control) banderole 11 is attached to the package 10 such that the banderole 11 is destroyed when the bag flap 52 or the package 10 is opened for the first time. The structure of the pack 10 corresponds as far as the prior art.

As a special feature, it is provided that in the region of the band 11 a marking 54 is attached to the package 10 or the band 11, which extends over at least part of the band 11 and over adjacent regions of the package 10.

Moreover, it can be provided (as shown in the exemplary embodiment shown) that the marking 54 extends continuously over different parts of the pack 10, for example over an area of a wall of the pocket 50 on the one hand and over an area of the bag flap 52 on the other hand. In other packages, such as Hinge-lid packs, the mark may be mounted, for example, in a continuous area on the lid and box part. In this way, the marker 54 is severed when opening the package 10.

The marking 54 can be applied, for example, by printing, embossing or otherwise to the package 10 or the band 11. Conceivable, for example, the use of inkjet printers or hot stamping systems for this purpose.

The marker 54 may be, for example, a graphic as in FIG FIGS. 13 and 14 shown or a number code. Also conceivable are patterns such as hatching, watermarks or the like.

An advantage of this solution is that the marking 54 at least makes re-use of the banderole 11 on another package 10 more difficult, since the detached banderole 11 provided with the marking 54 must be attached to the other package 10 in such a way that the marking 54 on the band 11 must be arranged in line with a already existing on the other pack 10 mark 54 or a subsequent to be attached to the other pack 10 marker 54 so that the reuse is not noticeable. It is assumed that only part of the marking 54 can be detached from the package 10, namely the portion 55 of the marking 54 that is left on the band 11, and that the remainder 56 of the marking 54 remains on the package 10.

In the case mentioned above first (existing printing on the other pack 10), it will generally not be possible to attach the band 11 with the part 55 of the marking 54 to the pack 10 in such a way that no "breakage" or "no breakage" occurs. Interruption "of the mark 54 can be seen. The same applies in the second case with subsequent "overprinting" of the mark 54. If one waives such measures, the reuse of the band 11 is also recognizable because then the rest 56 of the mark 54 on the package 10 is missing.

Similarly, the label 54 can be attached to the banderole 11 in cigarette packs.

It is understood that the solution described above can be used alone or in combination with the solutions described above.
