  • two adjacent walls of the blank for the separating element are folded out of the plane of the separating element web by the folding member for at least partial folding of the blank or the dividing wall.
  • Another special feature may be that after the partition is preferably partially folded, the at least partially folded blank is transported further along the separating element path, the two adjacent walls for the partition being moved together by two converging guides to form the double-walled partition.
  • dividing elements and groups of products are each pushed out of the pockets together, and that (further) walls of the dividing elements are folded out of the pockets following the extension.
  • the side flaps of the blanks or the separating elements are folded out of the respective pocket during the transport following the extension, in particular by means of folding switches against which the side flaps lie during the transport and with which the side flaps during the Transports are folded.

  • the inner wrapping 17 can be formed from a packaging material that is customary in such packs 10, for example from tinfoil, paper or the like.
  • the groups 15 of products are therefore, unlike usual in the prior art, not packaged separately in their own inner wrappings 17.
  • the inner wrapping 17 is formed from a (single) sheet or blank of packaging material and closed in the usual manner by folding folding flaps, so that the inner wrapping 17 surrounds or envelops the package contents 14 on all sides.

  • the collar 30 can also be indicated by a marking 32 on the inner casing 17, for example by printing and / or embossing. The marking 32 can also be used in addition to an inner collar ( Fig. 2 ).
  • a collar 30 can also be dispensed with entirely.
  • the separating element 33 is preferably formed from a separate blank 42 made of packaging material, the individual walls which are delimited from one another by fold lines, around which the blank 42 is folded into a three-dimensional shape.
  • the collar is designed as an inner collar 30, which extends along three sides of the inner envelope 17, namely in the region of the front 21 and the two adjacent narrow sides 34.
  • the collar 30 is formed by the separating element 33, so that an additional Blank 42 for the collar 30 can be dispensed with.
  • the separating element 33 is formed by waste-free separation from a continuous material web.
  • the contour of the cut edges correspondingly runs in the area of an upper side and a lower side of the blank 42.
  • the separating element 33 has six walls which are separated from one another by fold lines 46.
  • the fold lines 46 can be used as lines of weakness such as e.g. Perforation lines or scoring or scoring can be formed.
  • the walls are two large-area walls 43 and two walls 44 arranged next to each other. Furthermore, further walls 60 are arranged on both sides of the large-area walls 43.

  • the dividing wall 45 and the walls 60 extend over essentially the entire depth of the interior of the box part 12 and the two large-area walls 43 over essentially the entire width of the interior of the box part 12.
  • the dimensions of the dividing element 33 are thus chosen such that it essentially corresponds to the width and depth of the box part 12 (apart from a normal game).
  • the separating element 33 is arranged in the box part 12 such that it is flush with the cigarettes 11 on the upper side.
  • the separating element 33 has recesses 47 in the region of the upper side of the walls 43.
  • the recesses 47 extend to just before the walls 60.
  • a web 48 is arranged here in each case.
  • the partition wall 45 is formed with a slope that slopes towards the front, so that the recesses 47 run continuously.
  • the walls 43 accordingly have a web 48 on only one side.
  • the inner casing 17 has at least in the visible area above the box part 12 the marking 32 in the form of a collar with a recess.
  • the marking 32 extends over the entire width of the front side 21 and the narrow sides 34 of the inner casing 17.

  • Fig. 3 shows an overview drawing of the device with a feed of the blanks 42 at the top left, a feed of the cigarettes 11 or products at the top right and the removal and further processing of the combined products and separating elements 33 at the bottom left.
  • Fig. 4 shows the feeding of the blanks 42 in detail.
  • a continuous material web 70 is fed, from which blanks 42 are cut and separated in a cutting apparatus 71.
  • the separated blanks 42 are first transported along a separating element path 72 and then laterally transported transversely to the direction in which they are fed to the cutting apparatus 71 onto a transverse push-off path 73.
  • the blanks 42 are thereby transverse to the separating element path 72 with their longitudinal extension Direction of transport transported.
  • the blanks 42 are transported with their longitudinal extension pointing in the transport direction.
  • the blanks 42 are transported by a conveyor 74 in the region of the transverse push-off track 73.
  • the conveyor 74 has a conveyor run 75 which runs parallel to the transverse push-off track 73 and which has (external) drivers 76 which protrude from the conveyor run 75 and grasp the blanks 42 in the conveying direction on the back and push them along the transverse push-off track 73 in the transport direction in accordance with arrow 77.
  • the blanks 42 reach the work area of a folding station 78, in which the blanks 42 are folded (before) in the area of the separating element web 72.
  • a folding member 79 is provided which can be moved transversely to the separating element web 72.
  • Fig. 5 reveals that the folding member 79 has a thin-walled cross section and is intended to fold the walls 44 for the partition wall 45 against one another.
  • the folding member 79 is moved against the blank 42 at the level of the folding line between the two walls 44 and the corresponding blank 42 is thus folded.
  • the folding member 79 is then moved back again or pulled out between the folded walls 44 and the next blank 42 is fed in after the folded blank 42 has been removed.
  • the folding member 79 is correspondingly moved up and down in the vertical direction.
  • Fig. 5 further shows that the blank 42 is carried out in the area of the folding station 79 during transport by drivers 80 which engage on a rear edge of the blank 42. Furthermore, guides 81, 82 are provided which run parallel to the separating element track 72 and between which the walls 44 for the dividing wall 45 are guided. The guides 81, 82 converge in the transport direction of the blanks 42 in order to move the two walls 44 of the dividing wall 45 together during the transport of the blanks 42, preferably until they abut one another.
  • FIG. 5 Another important aspect of this procedure is that the width of the blank 42 is reduced by folding the walls 44. Accordingly, in Fig. 5 indicated how the side edges of the blank 42 by the fold are moved together (arrows 83). The meaning of this aspect is explained in connection with the later description of the spacing of the pockets 85.
  • Fig. 6 shows the at least partially folded blanks 42 are pushed into the drivers 76 of the conveyor 74 which transports the at least partially folded blanks 42 along the transverse push-off path 73.

  • the conveyor 100 is moved further until pockets 85 reach an ejection station 109. This is arranged in the area of the lower run of the conveyor 100. It goes without saying that the extension can also take place elsewhere, the arrangement of the elements of the pocket 85 possibly having to be adapted.
  • the separating elements 33 and the groups 15 are also pushed out in two parallel tracks on separate conveyors 110. Before the inner wrapping 17 is then fed in the further transport path and wrapped around the separating elements 33 with the groups 15 and the package contents 14 thus being formed, they still have to be formed Walls 60 are folded against the groups 15 of products. This is done as in Fig. 14 shown, with the help of lateral guides 113 in the further transport route. The walls 60 abut the lateral guides 113 and are gradually placed or folded against the groups 15 of products during the transport by a corresponding course of the guides 113.
  • the package content 14 thus formed is then fed via a stage 111 to a two-lane folding turret 112, in which the package content 14 is packaged in an outer package.
  • This can be done according to the EP 2 093 146 B1 or EP 2 125 573 B1 the content of which is referred to for the purpose of complete disclosure.
  • the device has a double track, for example with a track spacing of 120 mm.
  • the track distance is found in the distance of the conveyors 110, the center distance of which corresponds to the track distance.
  • the pockets 85 are also arranged at the web spacing, as are the pockets of the folding turret 112.
  • the original width of the blanks 42 on the separator web 72 is greater than the web spacing of the device. Due to the folding of the walls 44, the width of the blank 42 becomes smaller than the web distance, so that the blanks 42 are then conveyed in front of adjacent pockets 85 and at the same time inserted into them, which with a width or length of the blanks 42 which is above the web distance, would not be possible.
