Description

  The present invention relates to packaging for fragmented or granular packaging products, in particular to tobacco packaging having the features according to the superordinate concept of claim 1. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a packaging invention having features according to the superordinate concept of claim 9.

  The subject of the present invention is all types of tobacco packaging, in particular of rectangular parallelepiped shape. In particular, the present invention relates to a cigarette flap box (hinge lid pack).

  The object of the present invention is basically to develop a standardly formed packaging exterior with the aim of improved handling and a special exterior.

  To solve this problem, the packaging according to the invention is formed with the features of claim 1 and / or the features of claim 9.

  In principle, the present invention applies a material deformation, ie stamping, stamping, cutting and even external material, to a package, in particular a cigarette package made of (thin) cardboard, on a selected face area or edge of the package. By applying the attachment, one is to provide an important cover, and the other is to modify the use of the package to give the consumer a pleasant or easy handling. With respect to user-friendly shapes, an improved “tactile sensation”, that is, a subjective feeling when the package is grasped or held by the consumer, is caused by the shape according to the invention. By providing a structure on the packaging edge and / or on the selected packaging surface in the area of the box / front wall and / or lid front wall in a flap box, it is easy to handle the packaging, ie to open and close the lid. Become.

  Tobacco packaging of the type of flap box with stamps or voids is known. In packaging of rounded edges, i.e. in flap-type boxes with rounded upstanding packaging edges (Patent Document 1: EP 0 745 541), material deformation in the area of the rounded edges A formed groove is provided. These grooves simplify the production of round edges in the folding process. Packaging with a stamp on the front of the packaging is also known. These are provided for the purpose of characterizing the package, or provided as a means for making a high-quality model (Patent Document 2: European Patent No. 0 885 809). Finally, there are vacant parts on the front side, which make it easier to handle the packaging by putting your hands into the vacant parts, or for the type of packaging where these vacant parts function as windows. It is known (Patent Document 3: European Patent Application No. 1 532 058).

  In the packaging according to the invention, the stretched and rounded holes are arranged in the area of the standing and / or lateral packaging edges, giving a “feel” structure when grasping the packaging. It is done. As an alternative or in addition, in the flap box, in particular the front face or wall is provided with a structure, ie in the flap box in particular the box / front wall and / or the lid / front wall is provided with a structure. Thus, handling can be performed on the basis of the area of increased frictional resistance in addition to the individual cover. The structure provided by the deformation (engraving) of the material covers the entire packaging surface, with the exception of selected folding tabs having a surface for adhesive connection. Special structures for improved gripability can also be formed in special packaging edge areas, for example round edges or inclined edges.

  Further individual characteristics and features of the packaging according to the invention are explained in detail below on the basis of the drawings.

  The special embodiment of the (tobacco) packaging described in the drawings relates to a (thin) cardboard flap box with a basically standard construction.

  This type of packaging consists of a box part 10 and a lid 11. These main parts of the package are formed from an integral blank (FIG. 1). In addition, the flap box in this case is provided with a collar 12 formed from individual blanks.

  Such a whole package preferably includes a group of cigarettes wrapped with an inner blank 48 made of block-shaped package contents, that is, silver paper, paper or the like. This unit forms a rectangular parallelepiped tobacco block 49. Furthermore, the finished package can be surrounded by an outer blank made of film (not shown).

  The blank typically has a fold tab or packaging wall bounded by a vertical fold line 13 and a horizontal fold line 14. The box portion 10 includes a box / front wall 15, a bottom wall 16, a box / rear wall 17, a box / rear tab 18 disposed on the box / front wall 15, and a box / rear wall 17. The blank area for the inner box / horizontal tab 19 connected to is attached. The last has a bottom-corner tab 20 adjacent to the bottom wall 16. In the finished packaging, the transverse tabs 18, 19 each form a common box / side wall 21. The bottom and corner tabs 20 are bent so that they abut against the inside of the bottom wall 16.

  Similarly, the lid 11 is formed, that is, composed of a lid / front wall 22, a head wall 23 and a lid / rear wall 24. The last one is connected to the box / rear wall 17 via a line connecting portion 25 oriented in the lateral direction. The lid / front wall 22 is provided with a lid / lateral tab 26 (outside) from the side. To this, the lid / lateral tab 27 inside the region of the lid / rear wall 24 belongs. The trapezoidal lid / lateral tab 27 of the lid / rear wall 24 is provided with a head / corner tab 28. Further, a lid / inner tab 29 belongs to the lid 11. This is folded and connected to the inside of the lid / front wall 22 in the finished packaging. The lid and side tabs 26, 27 touch each other in the finished package and are connected by an adhesive. In this way, the lid / side wall 30 is formed.

  Packaging that is typical in construction, in this case a flap box, has special functionalities in the region of upright packaging edges or lateral packaging edges and / or in the area of selected faces of the packaging wall It has a structure that gives the consumer a positive feeling when holding and / or handling the packaging. In the embodiment of FIGS. 1-4, the selected vertical fold lines 13 and / or horizontal fold lines 14 are provided with holes 31, which are preferably created by stamping simultaneously with the manufacture of the blank (FIG. 1). . The hole 31 has a special shape here. That is, since it is basically formed in an elliptical shape having a rounded end region that merges sharply, a hole portion 31 having a substantially lens shape is formed as a whole, and these hole portions are arranged at the centers of the folding lines 13 and 14. Has been. In the region of the fold lines 13 and 14, a plurality of rows of hole portions 31 are arranged, and preferably arranged at the same interval. An embodiment in which the part of the longitudinal fold line 13 belonging to the front packaging edge of the box part 10 has, for example, four holes 31 is advantageous. The folding edge portion of the region belonging to the box / rear wall 17 of the folding line 13 has, for example, five hole portions 31 based on the long length. Further, the horizontal folding line 14 has a plurality of, for example, three holes 31 on the front side of the bottom wall 16. In the region of the lid 11, there is a hole 31 in the front folding line 13, and in this case, there is one hole 31. For example, three holes 31 are provided along the horizontal folding line 14. The horizontal fold line 14 on the back side of the bottom wall 16 and the head wall 23 and the vertical fold line 13 of the lid / rear wall 24 are not provided with holes.

  In the folded package, the perforations 31 are formed in the region of the packaging edge with a corresponding indentation or corrugation profile upright (perpendicular in cross section). The double-layer formation of the box / side wall 21 and the lid / side wall 30 is such that the folding tabs 18, 19, 27, 28 have indentations or peripheral voids 32 that complement each other in the folded state, or Since it corresponds to the hole 31 in the region of the attached folding edge (on the rear side), this is taken into account by the fact that a structure having a recess in the packaging edge also occurs on the rear side. The concave recess based on the hole 31 is partially covered by the cigarette block 49 from the inside, and partially covered by the collar portion 12.

  In the front region of the package, only the front lateral folding line 14 or the folding edge formed thereby has a structure created by the hole 31. The rear lateral edge can be formed similarly.

  One particularity is the shape of the lid 11 in the front region. The lateral edge 14 between the lid / front wall 22 and the head wall 23 preferably has three cavities which are distributed and arranged with respect to the longitudinal central plane, based on the corresponding holes 31. ing. In the region of the packaging edge 13 on the front side where the lid 11 is erected, one void portion is provided, preferably at the center, based on one hole 31. This allows the lid 11 to be effectively captured in this region when opening.

  The lateral edge 14 between the lid / front wall 22 and the lid / inner tab 29 in this case has three equally distributed holes 31, based on the folded state of the lid / inner tab 29. A single lid / closing edge 33 is formed. The lid / closing edge faces the box / closing edge 34 as an upper boundary of the box / front wall 15 in the closed lid 11. The lid / closing edge 33 and the box / closing edge 34 form one special structure by the interaction of the hole 31 and the peripheral cavity 32. The hole 31 of the lid 11 in the region of the lid / closed edge 33 forms a rounded punch portion on the peripheral side based on the folded state. The box / closing edge 34 likewise has three peripheral voids 32 which in this case are directed to the holes in the lid / closing edge 33. In the closed state of the lid 11, free voids or holes are created, which are bounded on the one hand by the lid / closing edge 33 and on the other hand by the box / closing edge 34. On the inside, these voids or holes are bounded or covered by the collar part 12, ie by the collar part / front wall formed in the usual manner. This effect is also generated by the collar portion / edge portion formed by the collar portion in the front side of the upright packaging edge portion 13.

  The embodiment according to FIGS. 5 and 6 shows another effective packaging structure. This is likewise based on a flap box as a preferred embodiment. The package (FIG. 6) or its blank (FIG. 5) is constructed in a conventional manner, including the collar portion 12. Here, the special shape relates to the openings 35, 36 in the region of the box / front wall 15. Adjacent to the box / closing edge 34, a plurality of, in this case round or circular openings 35, 36 are provided, which are also preferably provided during blank production by stamping.

  The openings 35 are arranged in a special arrangement, that is, like a star. The central central opening 35 preferably has a diameter (3 mm to 8 mm, preferably larger than the smaller opening 36 (2 mm to 5 mm, especially 3 mm) arranged along a plurality of radial (imaginary) lines. In particular 5 mm). The specially arranged openings 35, 36 form the decorative upholstery structure of the package, in particular the collar part 12 with the openings 35, 36 enlarged from the inside in the region of the front wall as shown. That's when it is covered by. In this case, the collar portion 12 or its front wall can be specially applied in terms of color. The holes 35 and 36 form a single structural range 50 based on their arrangement and size. This makes it easy to grasp and hold the package. This is especially true when the lid 11 is opened and closed.

  The embodiment of FIGS. 7 to 9 includes a three-dimensional structure of the packaging wall, in this case the lid / front wall 22. This has a plurality of, preferably smaller, knitted holes. That is, the perforated part 37. They are provided in the packaging wall so that in the region of the hole 37 there is an outwardly deformed material part, ie a protruding peripheral part 38 surrounding the bulge or perforated part 37. Here, the perforations 37 are arranged in parallel rows, and are arranged in a trapezoidal shape as a whole. This is likewise used as a functional structural range 50. This structural range 50 exists preferably in the approximate center of the lid / front wall 22 as a gripping range in the region of the lid / front wall 22 with a clearly high friction for gripping the lid 11 by hand. The lid / inner tab 29 can cover (partially) the perforated portion 37 from the inside.

  In the embodiment of FIGS. 10 to 12, the selected wall of the package has a structure that is provided by material deformation over the entire surface (outside), i.e. by marking over the entire surface of the blank. In this case, it has a corrugated or scaly structure. There are relatively small outwardly directed material curvatures 39, which are surrounded by an inwardly directed shape periphery 40 (formed in a scaly shape). The structure provided by the engraving of the packaging material (thin cardboard) results in a high stability of the packaging or packaging material and a pleasant action when the consumer holds the packaging. Uniform, raster-like deformations 39, 40, for example having a deformation depth of about 1/10 mm to 5/10 mm, preferably about 2/10 mm to 3/10 mm, for example (in the region of the shape periphery 40) Is meaningful. The size of the range (scale) is also preferably limited for functional reasons to a dimension (edge length) of 2 to 5 mm in each direction.

  In this embodiment, all the walls or surfaces of the package have a small rastered structure (a scale marking). Exceptions are the box / lateral tab 19 and the lid / lateral tab 27 located inside. Each of these has an adhesive to connect with the outer lateral tabs 18,26. Further, the bottom / corner tab 20 and the lid / corner tab 28 do not have an inscription. On the other hand, the lid / inner tab 29 has a (scale) stamp. This corresponds to the shape of the lid / front wall 22 in the folded lid / inner tab 29. In this case, the collar portion 12 is also formed with a full scale marking that otherwise matches the packaging.

  The embodiment of FIGS. 13 to 15 shows the particularity regarding the structure applied. The selected face or wall of the flap box, in this case the lid / front wall 22, has a protrusion or ridge, in this case a relatively small individual convex part 41. These are made of special materials and are applied to and connected to that side of the package. In this case, the convex portion 41 forms a structural range 50 extending over the entire lid / front wall 22.

  The convex portion 41 can be made of plastic. In that case, the material is applied in a fluid or formable state, preferably during the manufacture of the blank (FIG. 13). Curing of the material produces a convex portion 41 that is shape-stable and connected to the packaging wall. These preferably consist of hot melt adhesives. That is, it consists of materials that can be formed at high temperatures and that are solid during use of the package at normal ambient temperatures. The convex portion 41 has a round or rounded structure, and preferably on a surface of the lid / front wall 22 (or other packaging), preferably in a horizontally oriented row, anyway in a narrow structure. On the wall).

  FIG. 16 shows an alternative to the embodiment described above. The packaging wall, in this case, the (upper) area of the lid / front wall 22 facing the head wall 23 of the lid 11 is here formed on the outside of the lid / inner tab 29 by stamping of the blank material Preferably having a rounded recess 42 as structural area 50. The recesses thus formed are filled with a material that can be initially formed. This material is preferably flush with the outside of the lid / front wall 22 and thus forms the filling 43 of the depression 42. The material of the filling portion 43 has a high friction value, and is made of, in particular, plastic or hot melt and substance. The engraving or indentation 42 and its filling 43 are preferably produced during the production of the blank (FIG. 13).

  FIGS. 17 to 19 show examples of the shape of a flap box having a specially formed packaging edge. In this case, this is a so-called round edge packaging. In this packaging, the standing packaging edge is formed as a round edge 44 and preferably has a cross-sectional shape of a quarter circle. The blank (FIG. 17) does not have individual fold lines created by imprinting in the region of the round edge 44, but has a group of dot-shaped imprints. These are knitted into a stamped band 45 corresponding to the dimension of the round edge 44. Each marking band 45 is composed of a plurality of small dot-like ridges. These are formed as a needle hole portion 46, similar to the embodiment of FIG. A suitable needle-like tool preferably acts on the inside of the blank during the manufacture of the blank of FIG. 17, resulting in a through-hole 46, which has a tapered ridge 47 on the outside of the package. Have. Preferably, the marking band 45 so formed is arranged in the area of all the rounded packaging edges 44, here also in the area of the lid 11. Preferably, this structure, which is provided exclusively in the area of the rounded portion, gives a positive feel when the consumer holds the package. Even on the smooth surface of the package, they can be held without applying high pressure.

  The embodiments described above can be used in common in packaging as long as they have meaning. The shape of the lid / front wall 22 in the embodiment of FIGS. 7 to 9 or the embodiment of FIGS. 13 to 16 can also be used advantageously in the packaging of FIGS. 5, 6 or 17 to 19 It is. The entire structure of FIGS. 10 to 12 can be used for individually selected packaging walls. The special formation of the round edge 44 of FIGS. 17-19 can be similarly applied to octagonal or beveled edge packaging. Furthermore, all shown and described structures are applicable to other (tobacco) packaging, especially for shell and slide type packaging, container packaging or so-called cap-type boxes. Is possible.
