Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Innenkragen zur Aufbewahrung von Waren, insbesondere von stabförmigen Waren wie Zigaretten, Tabaksticks und dergleichen, umfassend eine Vorderwand, Seitenwände, die über Biegelinien mit der Vorderwand verbunden sind, und mindestens eine Eingriffs- und Sichtmulde im Bereich der Vorderwand. Die Erfindung betrifft weiterhin eine Verpackung zur Aufbewahrung von Waren, insbesondere von stabförmigen Waren wie Zigaretten, Tabaksticks und dergleichen.The present invention relates to an inner collar for storing goods, in particular rod-shaped goods such as cigarettes, tobacco sticks and the like, comprising a front wall, side walls that are connected to the front wall via bending lines, and at least one access and viewing recess in the area of the front wall. The invention also relates to a packaging for storing goods, in particular rod-shaped goods such as cigarettes, tobacco sticks and the like.

Derartige Innenkragen und Verpackungen sind in einer großen Vielzahl bekannt. Insbesondere handelt es sich bei diesen Verpackungen um Klappschachteln, die eine weit verbreitete Verpackungsform für Zigaretten und dergleichen darstellen. So beschreiben die DE 694 18 258 T2 und die DE 101 06 549 A1 derartige Verpackungen in Form eines prismatischen Körpers entlang ihrer Längsachse, wobei an einem behälterartigen Aufnahmebereich ein Deckel angelenkt ist. Diese Verpackungen weisen in üblicher Weise einen so genannten Kragen beziehungsweise Innenkragen ("Inner Frame") auf, der als separates Element ausgebildet ist und in den Aufnahmebereich der Verpackung eingebracht wird. Der Kragen ragt dabei teilweise aus dem der Verpackung heraus und weist an einer Kragenvorderseite, die mit einer Vorderseite des Aufnahmebereichs teilweise in Deckung gebracht ist, eine randlich ausgebildete Eingriffs- und Sichtmulde auf. Nachteilig an diesen bekannten Innenkragen und Verpackungen ist jedoch, dass bei derartigen bekannten Innenkragen und den entsprechenden Verpackungen nur unzureichende Verschlusssicherungen vorhanden sind. Dadurch ist es oftmals möglich, die Verpackung ohne Kraftaufwand zu öffnen. Dies ist insbesondere dann problematisch, wenn Kinder versuchen, derartige Verpackungen für Zigaretten zu öffnen.Such inner collars and packaging are known in a large number. In particular, these packagings are hinged boxes, which are a widespread form of packaging for cigarettes and the like. That's how they describe DE 694 18 258 T2 and the DE 101 06 549 A1 such packaging in the form of a prismatic body along its longitudinal axis, a lid being articulated to a container-like receiving area. These packagings usually have what is known as a collar or inner collar ("inner frame"), which is designed as a separate element and is introduced into the receiving area of the packaging. The collar partially protrudes from that of the packaging and has an access and viewing recess formed at the edge on a collar front side, which is partially aligned with a front side of the receiving area. A disadvantage of these known inner collars and packagings, however, is that in such known inner collars and the corresponding packagings there are only inadequate locking devices. This often makes it possible to open the packaging without any effort. This is particularly problematic when children try to open such packagings for cigarettes.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen gattungsgemäßen Innenkragen sowie eine Verpackung bereitzustellen, welche eine verbesserte Verschlusssicherung gewährleistet.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an inner collar of the generic type and a packaging which ensures improved locking security.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgaben dienen ein Innenkragen mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 sowie eine Verpackung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 13. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des erfindungsgemäßen Innenkragens und der erfindungsgemäßen Verpackung sind in den jeweiligen Unteransprüchen beschrieben. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des Innenkragens sind dabei als vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Verpackung und umgekehrt anzusehen.An inner collar with the features of claim 1 and a packaging with the features of claim 13 serve to solve these objects. Advantageous embodiments of the inner collar according to the invention and the packaging according to the invention are described in the respective subclaims. Advantageous configurations of the inner collar are to be regarded as advantageous configurations of the packaging and vice versa.

Ein erster Aspekt der Erfindung betrifft einen Innenkragen für eine Verpackung zur Aufbewahrung von Waren, insbesondere von stabförmigen Waren wie Zigaretten, Tabaksticks und dergleichen, umfassend eine Vorderwand, Seitenwände, die über Biegelinien mit der Vorderwand verbunden sind und mindestens eine Eingriffs- und Sichtmulde im Bereich der Vorderwand. Dabei umfasst die Vorderwand mindestens eine Rastlasche zur Verrastung mit einer Deckelkonstruktion der Verpackung und in geschlossenem Zustand der Verpackung.A first aspect of the invention relates to an inner collar for packaging for storing goods, in particular rod-shaped goods such as cigarettes, tobacco sticks and the like, comprising a front wall, side walls that are connected to the front wall via bending lines and at least one access and viewing recess in the area the front wall. The front wall comprises at least one latching tab for latching with a lid construction of the packaging and when the packaging is closed.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung des Innenkragens mit der zusätzlichen Rastlasche an der Vorderwand ergibt sich ein Innenkragen, welcher eine verbesserte Verschlusssicherung gewährleistet. Durch die Rastlasche kann die Verpackung beziehungsweise die Deckelkonstruktion nur mittels eines deutlichen Kraftaufwands geöffnet werden. Insbesondere ist eine seitliche Druckausübung auf die Deckelkonstruktion notwendig, um die Verpackung zu öffnen. Dadurch wird die Gefahr des Öffnens der Verpackung durch Kinder deutlich erniedrigt. In weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltungen des erfindungsgemäßen Innenkragens ist die Rastlasche derart an der Vorderwand angeordnet, dass sie in geschlossenem Zustand der Verpackung mit einer entsprechenden Kante, Ausnehmung, Öffnung oder Kontur an einer Innenseite der Deckelkonstruktion, insbesondere an einer Innenseite einer Deckelvorderwand der Deckelkonstruktion, verrastbar ist. Dadurch ergibt sich eine erheblich verbesserte Verschlusssicherung, da es zu einem Verrasten der Deckelkonstruktion und des Innenkragens der Verpackung kommt.The inventive design of the inner collar with the additional locking tab on the front wall results in an inner collar which ensures improved locking security. Due to the latching tab, the packaging or the lid construction can only be opened with a considerable expenditure of force. In particular, lateral pressure must be exerted on the lid structure in order to open the packaging. This significantly reduces the risk of children opening the packaging. In further In advantageous embodiments of the inner collar according to the invention, the latching tab is arranged on the front wall in such a way that, when the packaging is closed, it can be locked with a corresponding edge, recess, opening or contour on an inside of the lid structure, in particular on an inside of a lid front wall of the lid structure. This results in a considerably improved locking security, since the lid construction and the inner collar of the packaging lock.

In weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltungen des erfindungsgemäßen Innenkragens ist die Rastlasche mittels in der Vorderwand ausgebildeter Schneide- und Biegelinien ausgebildet. Dies ermöglicht eine einfache und kostengünstige Herstellung der Rastlasche, da diese einstückig mit der Vorderwand ausgebildet wird. Es besteht aber auch die Möglichkeit, dass an der Vorderwand in einem Bereich außerhalb der Eingriffs- und Sichtmulde mindestens ein Wandelement angelenkt ist. Dabei kann die Rastlasche mittels einer von einer das Wandelement und die Vorderwand verbindenden Biegelinie abgehenden Schneidelinie ausgebildet werden. Auch diese Ausgestaltungsmöglichkeit der Rastlasche ermöglicht deren einfache und kostengünstige Herstellung. Zudem wird durch das zusätzliche Wandelement die Möglichkeit geschaffen, dass an der Außen- und/oder Innenseite des Wandelements zumindest teilweise eine Farbfläche und/oder eine metallisch glänzende Farbfläche und/oder mindestens eine Text-, Form- und/oder Motivfläche ausgebildet ist. Dabei kann eine Kontur der Text-, Form- und/oder Motivfläche zumindest teilweise mittels mindestens einer Schnittlinie ausgebildet sein. Zudem besteht die Möglichkeit, dass die Text-, Form- und/oder Motivfläche mittels Laserenergie und/oder mittels Stanzen hergestellt ist. Das Wandelement vergrößert die bedruckbare Fläche der Vorderwand des Innenkragens deutlich, sodass dies für zusätzliche Werbeeffekte und Ähnliches verwendet werden kann. Es besteht aber auch die Möglichkeit, dass an dem Wandelement selbst mindestens eine Rastlasche zur Verrastung mit der Deckelkonstruktion der Verpackung und in geschlossenem Zustand der Verpackung ausgebildet ist. Dabei kann das Wandelement beispielsweise derart ausgebildet sein, dass es in geschlossenem Zustand der Verpackung mit einer entsprechenden Kante, Ausnehmung, Öffnung oder Kontur an einer Innenseite der Deckelkonstruktion, insbesondere an einer Innenseite einer Deckelvorderwand der Deckelkonstruktion, verrastbar ist. Das Wandelement bietet daher eine zusätzliche Verschlusssicherung.In further advantageous refinements of the inner collar according to the invention, the locking tab is formed by means of cutting and bending lines formed in the front wall. This enables simple and inexpensive production of the locking tab, since it is formed in one piece with the front wall. But there is also the possibility that at least one wall element is articulated on the front wall in an area outside the engagement and viewing recess. The latching tab can be formed by means of a cutting line extending from a bending line connecting the wall element and the front wall. This design option for the latching tab also enables it to be produced simply and inexpensively. In addition, the additional wall element creates the possibility that at least partially a colored area and / or a shiny metallic colored area and / or at least one text, shape and / or motif area is formed on the outside and / or inside of the wall element. A contour of the text, shape and / or motif surface can be formed at least partially by means of at least one cutting line. In addition, there is the possibility that the text, shape and / or motif surface is produced by means of laser energy and / or by means of punching. The wall element increases the printable area of the front wall of the inner collar significantly, so that it can be used for additional advertising effects and the like. But there is also the possibility that at least one latching tab is formed on the wall element itself for latching with the lid construction of the packaging and when the packaging is closed. The wall element can be designed, for example, in such a way that, in the closed state of the packaging, it is provided with a corresponding edge, recess, opening or contour on an inside of the lid structure, in particular on one Inside of a cover front wall of the cover construction can be locked. The wall element therefore offers an additional locking mechanism.

In weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltungen des erfindungsgemäßen Innenkragens ist dieser als separates Element oder einstückig als Teilelement zumindest einer Vorderwand und entsprechenden Seitenwänden der Verpackung ausgebildet. Falls der Innenkragen als separates Element ausgebildet ist, so wird er mit einer Innenseite, insbesondere der Innenseite der Vorderwand der Verpackung, beispielsweise verklebt. Auf diesen zusätzlichen Herstellungsschritt kann verzichtet werden, wenn der Innenkragen einstückig mit der Vorderwand und den entsprechenden Seitenwänden der Verpackung ausgebildet ist.In further advantageous refinements of the inner collar according to the invention, it is designed as a separate element or in one piece as a partial element of at least one front wall and corresponding side walls of the packaging. If the inner collar is designed as a separate element, it is, for example, glued to an inner side, in particular the inner side of the front wall of the packaging. This additional manufacturing step can be dispensed with if the inner collar is formed in one piece with the front wall and the corresponding side walls of the packaging.

Der Innenkragen besteht üblicherweise aus Papier, Karton oder Kunststoff oder einer Kombination aus diesen Materialien. Insbesondere sollte die Rastlasche derart ausgebildet sein, dass sie relativ starre Materialeigenschaften aufweist. Auch andere Materialien sind denkbar, insbesondere können auch beschichtete Materialien zur Verwendung des Innenkragens und/oder der Verpackung gemäß dem zweiten Erfindungsaspekt verwendet werden.The inner collar is usually made of paper, cardboard or plastic or a combination of these materials. In particular, the latching tab should be designed in such a way that it has relatively rigid material properties. Other materials are also conceivable, in particular coated materials can also be used for using the inner collar and / or the packaging according to the second aspect of the invention.

Ein zweiter Aspekt der Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackung zur Aufbewahrung von Waren, insbesondere von stabförmigen Waren wie Zigaretten, Tabaksticks und dergleichen, umfassend eine Vorderwand und eine Rückwand, die Vorder- und Rückwand verbindende Seitenwände sowie eine Bodenkonstruktion zur Ausbildung eines Aufbewahrungsraums für die Waren und eine Deckelkonstruktion umfassend eine Deckelvorderwand, eine Deckeloberwand und eine Deckelrückwand, wobei die Deckelkonstruktion an einem der Bodenkonstruktion gegenüberliegenden Ende der Rückwand über eine Biegelinie angelenkt ist. Des Weiteren umfasst die erfindungsgemäße Verpackung einen Innenkragen gemäß dem im Vorhergehenden beschriebenen ersten Aspekt der Erfindung. Eine derartige Verpackung gewährleistet vorteilhafterweise eine verbesserte Verschlusssicherung wie dies bereits bezüglich des ersten Erfindungsaspekts beschrieben worden ist.A second aspect of the invention relates to a packaging for storing goods, in particular rod-shaped goods such as cigarettes, tobacco sticks and the like, comprising a front wall and a rear wall, side walls connecting the front and rear walls, and a base construction for forming a storage space for the goods and a Lid construction comprising a lid front wall, a lid upper wall and a lid rear wall, the lid construction being articulated via a bending line to an end of the rear wall opposite the bottom construction. Furthermore, the packaging according to the invention comprises an inner collar according to the first aspect of the invention described above. Such a packaging advantageously ensures improved locking security, as has already been described with regard to the first aspect of the invention.

In weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltungen der erfindungsgemäßen Verpackung ist der Innenkragen als separates Element oder einstückig als Element zumindest der Vorderwand und den Seitenwänden der Verpackung ausgebildet. Zudem besteht die Möglichkeit, dass das Wandelement derart ausgebildet ist, das es in geschlossenem Zustand der Verpackung mit einer Kante einer an der Innenseite der Deckelvorderwand anliegenden Lasche verrastbar ist. Dies gewährleistet eine einfache und sichere Verschlusssicherung.In further advantageous embodiments of the packaging according to the invention the inner collar is designed as a separate element or in one piece as an element of at least the front wall and the side walls of the packaging. In addition, there is the possibility that the wall element is designed in such a way that it can be latched in the closed state of the packaging with an edge of a tab resting on the inside of the front lid wall. This ensures a simple and secure locking system.

Weitere Merkmale und deren Vorteile sind den Beschreibungen des ersten Erfindungsaspekts zu entnehmen, wobei vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des ersten Erfindungsaspekts als vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des zweiten Erfindungsaspekts und umgekehrt anzusehen sind.Further features and their advantages can be found in the descriptions of the first aspect of the invention, with advantageous configurations of the first aspect of the invention being regarded as advantageous configurations of the second aspect of the invention and vice versa.

Die Figur 1 zeigt einen schematisch dargestellten Innenkragen 10 in einer Verpackung 32 gemäß einer ersten Ausführungsform. Der Innenkragen 10 ist dabei für eine Verpackung zur Aufbewahrung von Waren, insbesondere von stabförmigen Waren wie Zigaretten, Tabaksticks und dergleichen, ausgebildet. Man erkennt, dass der Innenkragen 10 eine Vorderwand 12, Seitenwände 14, 16 und eine Eingriffs- und Sichtmulde 22 im Bereich der Vorderwand 12 aufweist. Die Seitenwände 14, 16 sind dabei über die Biegelinien 18, 20 mit der Vorderwand 12 verbunden beziehungsweise an dieser angelenkt.The Figure 1 shows a schematically illustrated inner collar 10 in a package 32 according to a first embodiment. The inner collar 10 is designed for a packaging for storing goods, in particular rod-shaped goods such as cigarettes, tobacco sticks and the like. It can be seen that the inner collar 10 has a front wall 12, side walls 14, 16 and an engagement and viewing recess 22 in the area of the front wall 12. The side walls 14, 16 are connected to the front wall 12 via the bending lines 18, 20 or are hinged to it.

Des Weiteren erkennt man, dass der Innenkragen 10 innerhalb der Verpackung 32 angeordnet ist, und zwar an den Innenseiten der Vorderseite 34 sowie den Seitenwänden 36, 38 der Verpackung 32. Die Verpackung 32 umfasst die Vorderwand 34 sowie eine Rückwand (nicht dargestellt), und die Vorder- und Rückwand verbindende Seitenwände 36, 38. Zur Ausbildung eines Aufbewahrungsraums 64 ist eine Bodenkonstruktion 62 ausgebildet. Man erkennt, dass eine Deckelkonstruktion 40 eine Deckelvorderwand 42, eine Deckeloberwand 44 und eine Deckelrückwand 46 umfasst, wobei die Deckelkonstruktion 40 insgesamt an einem der Bodenkonstruktion 62 gegenüberliegenden Ende der Rückwand über eine entsprechende Biegelinie 48 angelenkt ist.It can also be seen that the inner collar 10 is arranged inside the packaging 32, specifically on the inner sides of the front side 34 and the side walls 36, 38 of the packaging 32. The packaging 32 comprises the front wall 34 and a rear wall (not shown), and Side walls 36, 38 connecting the front and rear walls. To form a storage space 64, a floor construction 62 is formed. It can be seen that a cover structure 40 comprises a cover front wall 42, a cover top wall 44 and a cover rear wall 46, the cover structure 40 being articulated as a whole to an end of the rear wall opposite the base structure 62 via a corresponding bending line 48.

Des Weiteren erkennt man, dass in der Vorderwand 12 eine Rastlasche 24 zur Verrastung mit der Deckelkonstruktion 40 der Verpackung 32 in geschlossenem Zustand der Verpackung 32 ausgebildet ist. Die Verpackung 32 ist in Fig. 1 in geöffnetem Zustand dargestellt. Man erkennt aber, dass die Rastlasche 24 derart an der Vorderwand 12 angeordnet ist, dass sie in geschlossenem Zustand der Verpackung 32 mit einer Kante 26 einer an der Innenseite der Deckelvorderwand 42 anliegenden Lasche 50 verrastbar ist. Zum Öffnen dieser Verrastung muss insbesondere auf die seitlichen Flächen der Deckelkonstruktion 32 Druck ausgeübt werden. Durch eine entsprechende Verbiegung der Kante 26 und/oder der Rastlasche 24 kann die entsprechende Verrastung dieser Elemente aufgehoben werden.It can also be seen that a latching tab 24 is formed in the front wall 12 for latching to the cover structure 40 of the packaging 32 when the packaging 32 is closed. The package 32 is in Fig. 1 shown in the open state. It can be seen, however, that the latching tab 24 is arranged on the front wall 12 in such a way that, when the packaging 32 is closed, it has an edge 26 on the inside of the cover front wall 42 adjacent tab 50 can be locked. To open this latching, pressure must be exerted, in particular, on the lateral surfaces of the cover structure 32. By correspondingly bending the edge 26 and / or the latching tab 24, the corresponding latching of these elements can be canceled.

Das in Figur 1 dargestellte erste Ausführungsbeispiel des Innenkragens 10 zeigt eine Rastlasche 24, die mittels in der Vorderwand 12 ausgebildeter Schneide- und Biegelinien 52, 54 ausgebildet ist. Die Rastlasche ist dabei in einem nicht durch die Eingriffs- und Sichtmulde 22 ausgenommenen Bereich der Vorderwand 12 angeordnet. In dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel besteht die Verpackung 32 sowie der Innenkragen 10 aus Karton.This in Figure 1 The illustrated first embodiment of the inner collar 10 shows a latching tab 24 which is formed by means of cutting and bending lines 52, 54 formed in the front wall 12. The latching tab is arranged in a region of the front wall 12 that is not recessed by the engagement and viewing recess 22. In the illustrated embodiment, the packaging 32 and the inner collar 10 are made of cardboard.

Figur 2 zeigt eine schematische Darstellung einer Verpackung 32 mit einem Innenkragen 10 gemäß einer zweiten Ausführungsform. Der Aufbau der Verpackung 32 sowie des Innenkragens 10 entspricht dabei dem Aufbau der in Figur 1 gezeigten ersten Ausführungsform. Im Gegensatz zu der ersten Ausführungsform ist bei der zweiten Ausführungsform in der Lasche 50 eine Ausnehmung 28 zur Aufnahme der Rastnase 24 ausgebildet. Bezüglich der weiteren Merkmale verweisen wir auf die Beschreibung des ersten Ausführungsbeispiels gemäß Figur 1, wobei gleiche Bezugszeichen identische Merkmale bezeichnen. Figure 2 shows a schematic representation of a packaging 32 with an inner collar 10 according to a second embodiment. The structure of the packaging 32 and of the inner collar 10 corresponds to the structure of FIG Figure 1 shown first embodiment. In contrast to the first embodiment, in the second embodiment a recess 28 for receiving the latching lug 24 is formed in the tab 50. With regard to the further features, we refer to the description of the first exemplary embodiment according to FIG Figure 1 , wherein like reference numerals designate identical features.

Figur 3 zeigt eine schematische Darstellung einer Verpackung 32 mit einem Innenkragen 10 gemäß einer dritten Ausführungsform. Auch die dritte Ausführungsform entspricht im Wesentlichen den in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellten Ausführungsformen. Im Unterschied dazu ist aber bei der dritten Ausführungsform in der an der Innenseite der Deckelvorderwand anliegenden Lasche 50 eine Ausnehmung 30 zur Aufnahme der Rastlasche 24 ausgebildet. Bezüglich der Beschreibung der weiteren Merkmale verweisen wir auf die Beschreibung des ersten Ausführungsbeispiels gemäß Figur 1, wobei gleiche Bezugszeichen identische Merkmale bezeichnen. Figure 3 shows a schematic representation of a packaging 32 with an inner collar 10 according to a third embodiment. The third embodiment also essentially corresponds to that in FIGS Figures 1 and 2 illustrated embodiments. In contrast to this, however, in the third embodiment, a recess 30 for receiving the latching tab 24 is formed in the tab 50 resting on the inside of the cover front wall. With regard to the description of the further features, we refer to the description of the first exemplary embodiment according to FIG Figure 1 , wherein like reference numerals designate identical features.

Figur 4 zeigt eine schematische Darstellung einer Verpackung 32 mit einem Innenkragen 10 gemäß einer vierten Ausführungsform. Man erkennt, dass zusätzlich zu den in den Figuren 1 bis 3 gezeigten Ausführungsformen der Innenkragen 10 ein Wandelement 56 aufweist, welches an der Vorderwand 12 in einem Bereich außerhalb der Eingriffs- und Sichtmulde 22 über eine Biegelinie 58 angelenkt ist. Das zusätzliche Wandelement 56 stellt einerseits eine zusätzliche Fläche für mögliche Werbeaufdrucke oder Ähnliches bereit. Des Weiteren erkennt man, dass die Rastlasche 24 in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel mittels einer von der das Wandelement 56 und die Vorderwand 12 verbindende Biegelinie 58 abgehenden Schneidelinie 60 ausgebildet wird. Die Rastlasche 24 verrastet wiederum mit der Kante 26 der an der Innenseite der Deckelvorderwand 42 anliegenden Lasche 50. Um dies zu ermöglichen, ist die Lasche 50 etwas breiter dimensioniert als die in den Figuren 1 bis 3 gezeigte Lasche 50. Auch in dieser Ausführungsform ist der Innenkragen 10 als separates Element ausgebildet und innerhalb der Verpackung 32 angeordnet beziehungsweise mit den entsprechenden Innenseiten der Verpackung 32 verklebt. Figure 4 shows a schematic representation of a packaging 32 with an inner collar 10 according to a fourth embodiment. It can be seen that in addition to the Figures 1 to 3 The embodiments shown, the inner collar 10 has a wall element 56, which is hinged to the front wall 12 in an area outside the engagement and viewing recess 22 via a bending line 58. The additional wall element 56 on the one hand provides an additional area for possible advertising imprints or the like. It can also be seen that the latching tab 24 in this exemplary embodiment is formed by means of a cutting line 60 extending from the bending line 58 connecting the wall element 56 and the front wall 12. The latching tab 24 latches in turn with the edge 26 of the tab 50 resting on the inside of the cover front wall 42. To enable this, the tab 50 is dimensioned somewhat wider than that in the Figures 1 to 3 tab 50 shown. In this embodiment too, the inner collar 10 is designed as a separate element and is arranged within the packaging 32 or glued to the corresponding inner sides of the packaging 32.

Figur 5 zeigt eine schematische Darstellung einer Verpackung 32 mit einem Innenkragen 10 gemäß einer fünften Ausführungsform. Die Konstruktion dieser Ausführungsform entspricht im Wesentlichen der in Figur 4 gezeigten Konstruktion der Verpackung 32 beziehungsweise des Innenkragens 10. Allerdings ist in der fünften Ausführungsform der Innenkragen 10 einstückig mit der Verpackung 32 ausgebildet. Man erkennt, dass der Innenkragen 10 als Teilelement der Vorderwand 34 und den Seitenwänden 36, 38 der Verpackung 32 ausgebildet ist. Bezüglich der weiteren Merkmale der Verpackung 32 und des Innenkragens 10 gemäß der fünften Ausführungsform verweisen wir auf die Beschreibung dieser Merkmale in der vierten Ausführungsform, wobei gleiche Bezugszeichen identische Merkmale bezeichnen. Figure 5 shows a schematic representation of a package 32 with an inner collar 10 according to a fifth embodiment. The construction of this embodiment corresponds essentially to that in FIG Figure 4 The construction of the packaging 32 or of the inner collar 10 shown here. However, in the fifth embodiment, the inner collar 10 is formed in one piece with the packaging 32. It can be seen that the inner collar 10 is designed as a partial element of the front wall 34 and the side walls 36, 38 of the packaging 32. With regard to the further features of the packaging 32 and the inner collar 10 according to the fifth embodiment, we refer to the description of these features in the fourth embodiment, where the same reference symbols denote identical features.

Die beschriebene Verpackung 32 wie auch der Innenkragen 10 bestehen üblicherweise aus Karton, Papier oder Kunststoff oder einer Kombination dieser Materialien. Auch andere geeignete Materialien sind denkbar.The described packaging 32 as well as the inner collar 10 usually consist of cardboard, paper or plastic or a combination of these materials. Other suitable materials are also conceivable.
