Definitions

  • the invention relates to packs for cigarettes or other tobacco products according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to methods for producing inner packs of the pack.
  • print media with information, identification marks, decorations, etc. for the consumer in a cigarette pack, also in the form of a sealed pack, i.e. with an inner pack made of aroma-tight film, within an outer pack designed in particular as a folding box.
  • the print medium - coupon - is arranged in such a way that when the cigarette pack is opened for the first time, the corresponding blank is exposed so that the consumer can take note of the information before the cigarettes are removed.
  • the print carrier or coupon is in a starting position between the inner packaging and the outer packaging.
  • a closure flap or a closure label on the inner packaging is permanently connected to a lid of the outer packaging, which is designed as a hinged box. When the lid is opened, the closure flap is removed from the inner packaging and the coupon is simultaneously pulled out of the starting position. The coupon is therefore originally located on the inside of the closure flap.
  • the invention deals with cigarette packs from an inner pack, preferably in the form of a sealed pack with an opening label as an opening aid and with a print medium or coupon in an outer pack, preferably in the form of a folding box.
  • the task to be solved is to design and attach the coupon in such a way that when it is put into use Pack the consumer information of the coupon can be perceived reliably.
  • the coupon should not make the manufacturing process for the pack more difficult.
  • the package according to the invention is characterized by the features of claim 1.
  • the idea is to position the coupon directly on the free outside of the opening label and to detachably connect it to the opening label in such a way that the coupon can be removed when the inner packaging is opened (for the first time) or in connection with the opening process.
  • the arrangement is such that the opening process of the inner packaging draws the consumer's attention to the coupon or the printed areas.
  • the coupon extends with a leg - front leg - in the area of an inner end wall of the inner pack and with an adjoining leg - front leg - in the area of the inner front wall, each with (partial) coverage of the opening label.
  • the front leg can alternatively extend over a portion of an actuating leg of the opening label in the area of the inner front wall or be designed such that the leg of the opening label, including the grip tab, is completely covered.
  • the coupon is expediently provided with an (adhesive-free) grip tab or a grip strip on the free edge, preferably as a continuous strip over the full width of the rectangular coupon.
  • Another design involves attaching a multi-layer coupon (with a fanfold or with several detachably connected layers) to the outside of the opening label, either in the area of the inner front wall or the inner front wall.
  • the layers of the multi-layer coupon which are provided with a handle, can either be unfolded or separated one after the other.
  • the coupon is designed as part of the opening label, with the opening label being simultaneously captured when the coupon is actuated by gripping the grip tab or the grip strip.
  • the coupon which is detachably fixed to the leg of the opening label, can be separated, in particular via a perforation connection.
  • a special feature of the invention is the manufacturing process. Blanks for the opening label are applied to a (film) web in the correct position to produce blanks for the inner packaging. According to the invention, the procedure is such that the coupon is placed on the opening labels in the correct position after the opening labels have been attached to the film web. The blanks are then made by separating them from the film web.
  • the continuous film web can be folded around successive groups of cigarettes - usually with an inner collar - to form a tubular structure and the coupons are then placed on top.
  • the pack examples shown in the drawings relate to cigarette packs in the form of a sealed pack.
  • An outer pack 10 is designed as a hinged box with a box part 11 and a lid 12.
  • a collar 13 is arranged in the box part, a portion of which protrudes from the box part 11.
  • the box part 11 forms a box front wall 14, a box rear wall 15 and narrow, upright box side walls 16.

  • the coupon 38 can also be guided into the inner end wall 30 and rest against the cover leg 32, preferably with a glue connection.
  • a further special feature can be achieved: When permanently adhesive glue is applied to the outside of the opening label 31, particularly in the area of the actuating leg 33, a transverse strip of glue attached to the free transverse edge of the same creates a connection with the inside of the lid 12 or .the lid front wall 17. After removing the coupon, the sticky glue on the outside of the opening label 31 or the fastening leg 34 becomes free, so that when the lid is closed again 12 a connection of the actuating leg 33 to the lid front wall 17 takes place. When opening again, the opening label 31 is pulled through the lid 12 into the open position.
  • An innovative special feature lies in the manufacturing technology for the inner packs or for blanks to form the inner pack 25.
  • blanks for the opening label 31 are applied to a continuous film web 51 in the relative position of the pack, with the side containing adhesive on the film web 51 pressed ( Fig. 16 ).
  • the film web 51 is then continuously formed around a series of successive units 52 from a cigarette group and an inner collar partially surrounding them, forming a tubular structure.
  • Film web 51 and units 52 are controlled in terms of conveyor technology so that the opening labels 31 are in the correct position in the packaging due to the wrapping process.
  • the film tube is completed by thermally sealing the edges of the tube to form a corresponding sealing seam.
  • the inner packs 25 are successively separated from the construct of film wrapping and units 52.
  • the special feature lies in the attachment of the coupons 38.
  • the film web 51 is assigned units for applying the cut pieces to the film web 51, namely a first labeler 53 and a subsequent second labeler 54.
  • the first labeler 53 is used to feed and deposit the opening labels 31 on the film web 51, specifically in the area of a sharp-edged deflection 55 of a carrier web 56. The transfer takes place in the area of a support roller 57 below the film web 51.
  • the labeler 54 then becomes effective. This transports the coupons 38, in the present version according to Fig. 3 , and positions it on the outside of the opening label 31.
  • the film web 51 is then fed to the wrapping area to produce the inner packs 25.
  • the exact positioning of the cuts on the film web 51 is carried out (optoelectronic) sensors 58 controlled, which respond to the scanning of print marks 59, including on the opening labels 31.
  • Fig. 17 shows alternatives to the technology according to Fig. 16 .
  • the coupons 38 present in the version as a multi-layer coupon accordingly Fig. 4 , are placed on the tube-like shaped film web 51, namely on the opening labels 31 that have already been positioned in accordance with the packaging.
  • the coupons 38 are applied by a rotating transfer element, namely by a transfer roller 60, which is positioned in a stationary rotating manner above the film web 51, namely in the area of Opening label 31 arranged on the edge.
  • the relative position is such that the transfer roller 60, which is preferably designed with suction elements for the coupons 38, presses the coupons 38 located in the lower position onto the opening label 31.
  • the film web 51 is folded in a tubular manner around the successive row of units 52 - according to a known method - to form a tubular seam on the underside that runs in the longitudinal direction.
  • a forming shoulder of a known design can be used in particular for the corresponding deformation of the unfolded film web 51. It is important for the present innovation that the coupons 38 are expediently placed on the inner packaging 25 or on the opening label 31 after the deformation process, i.e. after the forming shoulder, so that the deformation process for the film web 51 does not impair the correct attachment of the coupon 38.
  • Fig. 17 shows a further special feature in that the film web 51 - in the area of an upright feed leg - is provided with the removal openings 35 formed by pre-punching. Furthermore, in the situation shown, the opening labels 31 are attached to the outside of the film web 51 in the area of the removal openings 35. Coupons 38, present in multi-layer training accordingly Fig. 4 , are fed to the film web 51 by a transfer element - transfer roller 61 - and attached to the opening label 31 in the area of the free side of the removal opening 35 and preferably fixed by glue. At In this variant, small coupons 38 are arranged in the outside dimensions on the inside of the opening label 31, i.e. on the side facing the inner pack 25. The coupons 38 are preferably completely covered by the opening label 31. Access to the coupon 38 is only granted to the consumer by pressing the opening label 31.
  • opening label 31 and coupon 38 can also be carried out by a single, common labeler.
  • the blanks for opening labels 31 and coupons 38 are fed to this by a common carrier belt on which the relevant blanks are coordinated with regard to their relative position for precise transfer to the film web, in such a way that a coupon 38 is placed on the previously transferred opening label 31.
  • a technology can be used in which the opening label 31 and the coupon 38 are connected to one another as separate cut pieces before being placed on the pack or inner pack 25, so that - by a labeler 53, 54 - units of opening labels 31 and coupon 38 are placed on the film web 51 or on the tubularly deformed film web 51 or on finished inner packs 25.
  • the basic idea of the functional combination of a coupon (for information, etc.) with the opening aid of a pack can also be advantageously implemented in standard cigarette packs, namely in packs with an inner liner made of tin foil, paper or the like and with a usual tear-off flap.
