  • a special production technique in Fig. 15 is shown.
  • the otherwise manufactured inner packs 11 - here in the embodiment of a cardboard pack 29 - are conveyed along a packing web 75, in particular along a rectilinear, upright conveyor track.
  • the packs 11 are arranged in holding members or carriers or pockets (not shown) of a belt in the transverse position, such that at least one frontal area for the attachment of the Abdeckzuête 40 is exposed.
  • the cover blanks 40 are each delivered in an appropriately positioned manner to an inner pack 11 and applied to the inner end wall 24 with a region of the blank forming the cover end wall 42.
  • the cover blanks 40 are arranged on a carrier web 76 in a distance corresponding to the transfer to the successive inner packs.
  • the carrier web 76 is withdrawn from a reel 77 and fed via deflection rollers to a transfer unit 78. This is equipped with an organ for peeling or peeling off the Abdeckzuexcellente 40 of the carrier web 76, such that the blanks 40 in the correct position of a Pressing member or a pressure roller 79 is pressed against the exposed end face of the inner pack 1 1.
  • the inner packs 11 with cover blank 40 then pass into a first folding station with a first folding member, namely a U-fold 80. This is transversely to the movement path of the packs back and forth.
  • the U-folder 80 performs a folding step, analogous to the folding mouthpiece 66 of FIG. 10, wherein legs of the cover blank 40 are pressed against the inner front wall 23 and against the inner rear wall 25 by corresponding folding legs of the U-fold 80.
  • a page folder 81 causes folding of the respective inner folding flaps in the region of the inner side walls 26 with the aid of folding members, in particular folding rollers 82.
  • the blank blank 40 is the blank 39 according to FIG. 11, in which the corner flaps are the first 59 are folded.
  • an external folder 83 is effective. This is analogous to the side folder 81, also with fold rollers 82. These are movable transversely to the inner side walls 26, whereby the folding flap connected to the cover front wall 41, namely side tabs 60, are folded into the final position.
  • FIGS. 16 and 17 A special (independent) embodiment of a cigarette pack with outer pack 10 in the form of a folding box and an inner pack 11 in the form of a foil pack 28 is shown in FIGS. 16 and 17.
  • the foil sealing packing 28 preferably corresponds to the embodiment according to FIG. 2.
  • the cover 39 is deviating, namely without covering side walls.
  • a correspondingly elongated, in particular rectangular, blank extends in a (larger) end region of the inner front wall 23, the (complete) inner end wall 24 and with a (selectable in terms of dimension) leg in the region of the inner rear wall 25.
  • a Abdeckzuschnitt 40 is formed so that within the same the opening aid is positioned, in this case with actuating tab 48, which via glue points 53 with the inside of the lid front wall 18 and the lid - Inner tabs 22 is connected.
  • the peculiarity of this pack is that the cover 39 or the Abdeckzuintroductory 40 extends beyond the actuating tab 48 and beyond the connecting tabs to form an effective connection strip 84 which fixes the cover 39 in the operative position even with multiple actuation of the opening aid.
  • the front side leg of the cover 39 or the connecting strip 84 extends into a region below the boundary of the box front wall 15.
  • a cover is formed by a collar 85 of the outer pack 10 or the folding box.
  • the collar 85 is largely formed in the usual manner with front wall 86 and side tabs 87.
  • a conventional recess 88 in the region of the collar front wall 86 is presently extended into the area of the box front wall 15, preferably approximately flush with the upper transverse edge of the box box.
  • the cover 39 consists of a one-piece cover blank 40.
  • a specially designed cover can also consist of several, in particular two partial blanks, which are optionally attached to the inner pack 11 in successive steps.
  • the sectionzumale the cover can also - according to special functions - consist of different packaging materials or different thicknesses of films. Reference numerals! Iste
