Description

The present invention is a cigarette wrapping according to the superordinate conception of claim 1, wherein the wrapping closes the package contents, i.e. the cup-shaped box part and the box part for accommodating the cigarette group. And a collar provided in the box portion, wherein the packaging has a plurality of upstanding side walls, i.e. a large area front wall formed from the front wall of the lid and the front wall of the box, and A rear wall portion formed on the opposite side of the lid and a rear wall portion of the box , and a narrow side wall portion connected to the front wall portion and the rear wall portion and formed from each side wall portion. And wherein the side walls extend over the box part and the lid part and are connected to each other by an upright folding line. The invention further relates to a blank for the production of such a package.

  This type of packaging is known in numerous implementations as a hinge-lid type packaging. Besides packages having a rectangular parallelepiped shape, packages having hexagonal or octagonal cross sections or rounded package corners are also known. Furthermore, packaging having a right angled corner on the rear side and an angled angle on the front side is known. This special packaging shape was developed on the one hand, in the context of the arrangement of packaging contents as space-saving as possible, and on the other hand, in the context of a packaging shape that was as eye-catching as possible. Regardless of this, the problem is that (cigarette) packaging is often copied.

  Starting from this, the present invention aims to further develop packaging of the type described at the outset, in particular in terms of (still) conspicuous packaging shapes and / or shapes that are difficult to copy. To do.

A package that solves this problem has the features of claim 1. According to it, on two adjacent side walls, i.e. on two adjacent side walls, or on the front wall of the box and a partial side wall adjacent thereto, or on the rear wall of the box and a part adjacent thereto intermediate plane is formed on the side wall portion, the intermediate plane, extends over portions of both adjacent side wall portion, an intermediate plane of Oyo Biko, interrupts the fold line between the two adjacent side wall portions, when its, two side walls adjacent to each, in the middle planar region, have a trend that deviates from the plane of each side wall of the outer midplane, time, two side walls adjacent an intermediate plane, at least 135 Is arranged at an angle that is determined outside the region of the intermediate plane and on the side facing the package contents, where the intermediate plane is within the material of the two adjacent side walls. Bounded by the weak line brought to Ri, the line of weakness, have remained along the middle plane contour, this time, it is intended that the line of weakness is formed by the embossing scratches or grooves or Kokukizu and groove combination.

  The advantage of this solution is that, due to the mid-plane, the packaging is more complex in manufacture than, for example, cigarette packaging with a conventional rectangular cross-section, and with this, copying is much easier. The point is that you can't. On the other hand, the mid-plane, especially in conjunction with the corresponding printing design, gives the possibility of a new visual effect, thereby allowing the consumer's attention to be directed to this packaging.

  Adjacent side walls having an intermediate plane are provided at an angle of 135 ° or more outside the region of the intermediate plane. The inventors have found that if the adjacent side walls are provided within a smaller angle, for example 90 °, the formation of the intermediate plane can lead to deformation of the side wall adjacent to the adjacent side wall. did. However, this causes undesired visual damage of the packaging, however, this damage can be avoided at least significantly by larger angles.

The midplane is then bounded by a line of weakness in the form of a nick or groove, or a combination of nicks and grooves, brought into the material of two adjacent sidewalls, It continuously changes along the contour of the intermediate plane. In this way, the position of the midplane can be given to the package surprisingly easily. Thanks to the line of weakness, the deviation of the intermediate plane can be made to appear automatically by the other normal folding process.

  Advantageous developments and preferred embodiments of the packaging according to the invention will become apparent from the subclaims and the other description.

  Preferably, the line of weakness is formed on the inner surface of two adjacent side walls facing the package contents, in particular as scratches, i.e. from approximately 1/3 of the material thickness of the side walls. It is formed as a cut having a depth corresponding to 2/3. By this method, the line of weakness is not visible to the consumer, and thus the appearance of the finished package is not impaired.

A deviating transition is due to the fact that the two adjacent side walls have a curved transition in the region of the intermediate plane and / or because they have shifted with respect to the plane of each side wall. Can be given.

Preferably, the intermediate plane, line upright between the two side walls adjacent optionally is interrupted by the intermediate plane, this time, line is, transitions along a middle plane contour, two adjacent side walls It is provided to be continued by a transition line between the part and the intermediate plane. In particular, this is because the transition line starts from the lower end of the fold line and first branches and transitions at the transition to the middle plane, and then reaches the maximum width point of the middle plane and then the middle plane. This transition is performed by transitioning to the upper end of the broken line so as to gather again.

According advantageous embodiment, the contour of the intermediate plane or migration lines, squares erected on the vertex, and in particular corresponds to a rhombus, the transition of the upper side and lower side of the square of the four square, on the one hand to the intermediate plane polygonal line exist in the upper side and the lower end on, and on the other hand, the corner of lateral, as present on the polygonal line in the transition to another adjacent side wall portions of the two side walls adjacent It can be intended to correspond to said rectangle, in particular a rhombus.

Alternatively, an intermediate plane, has a contour of a lens-shaped, the ends of the upper side of the plane between the middle and lower is present on fold line between the two side walls adjacent, and the intermediate plane It is possible to have a lens-shaped contour so that it extends laterally to the fold line in the transition between two adjacent side wall portions to another adjacent side wall portion.

  Another uniqueness can exist in that an intermediate plane is formed in the region of the box portion and the lid does not have an intermediate plane. This solution has the advantage that the collar of the package can be formed in the usual way and does not have to have an intermediate plane.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the intermediate plane is formed spaced from the lower and upper sides of two adjacent side walls, in particular spaced from the fold line in the transition to the bottom wall. It is formed at an interval and with respect to the closing edge of the box part.

Another advantageous embodiment, the packaging, a plurality of intermediate planar surfaces, has the same side wall portions adjacent the intermediate plane of the multiple is in the same side wall portions adjacent at a distance to each other physician , It is intended to have a plurality of intermediate planes so as to be provided overlapping.

  Advantageously, an intermediate plane is provided in the transition from the front and / or rear side of the package to the narrow side of the package, the intermediate plane extending over a plurality of adjacent side walls. It is possible that This is the case, for example, when the package has rounded packaging corners, and the packaging consists of narrow side walls provided in segments in the area of the rounded packaging corners. Can be true.

According advantageous embodiment, the front wall portion of the packaging, to remain obliquely, it is possible to have fold lines are bend, this time, the intermediate plane respectively formed on the side wall portion following the front wall Now, this intermediate plane extends laterally to a diagonal line of the front wall portion.

  Another uniqueness is that the package has a plurality of intermediate planes, which are distributed over the circumference of the package so that the horizontal perimeter of the package differs as little as possible over the height of the package. And / or may be present at the point being calculated. Such optimization of the perimeter of the package takes into account the formation of a fold-free front package as much as possible from cellophane, for example.

  In a particularly advantageous embodiment, it can be intended that the lateral angle and / or the lower end and / or the upper end of the intermediate plane are provided at the intersection of the three lines of weakness.

  The invention further relates to a blank for producing a cigarette package, wherein the side walls of the blank are connected to each other by a broken line. In accordance with the invention, an intermediate plane is formed for two adjacent side walls, the intermediate plane extending in a related manner over a portion of the adjacent side walls and adjacent side walls. The middle plane is defined by a weak line, which extends along the contour of the middle plane in the blank.

  Advantageous developments and preferred embodiments of the blank according to the invention result from the subclaims and the other specifications.

  Advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

  In the following, the invention will be exemplarily described on the basis of the production of a packaging 10 for tobacco. The package 10 is a variation of a hinge lid type packaging type. Correspondingly, the package 10 has a (lower) box part 11 and a (upper) lid 12. Corresponding to the packaging type, the lid 12 is swingably provided on the box portion 11, that is, in the region of the linear joint 34 that moves across the virtual vertical main axis of the packaging 10.

  Another component of the packaging is a collar 13, which is provided in the box part 11 and protrudes from that part. The collar 13 is usually used for stabilizing the closed position of the lid 12. When the lid is closed (e.g. FIG. 1), the lid 12 and the box portion 11 are in contact with each other at their respective closing edges 14,15.

  The box portion 11 is basically formed in a cup shape and houses the package contents 28, in this case a cigarette group. The cigarette group can usually be wrapped in an inner package made of, for example, aluminum foil. The inner package is folded around the cigarette group.

The package 10 has upstanding side wall portions that are connected to each other through a broken line. The side wall portion moves in each plane parallel to the upright virtual main axis of the package. These side wall parts include the following packaging wall parts.
The large front wall 16 formed from the front wall 17 of the lid and the front wall 18 of the box;
A large rear wall 19 facing the front wall 16 formed from the rear wall 20 of the lid and the rear wall 21 of the box;
The opposing narrow side wall portions 22, 23 formed by the narrow side wall portion 24 of the lid and the side wall portion 25 of the box and connecting the front wall portion 16 and the rear wall portion 19;
The bottom wall 26 (lower side) of the box part 11
The lid wall 27 (upper) of the lid 12

  Depending on the cross-sectional shape of the package 10, the narrow side wall portions 22 and 23 can be formed from a plurality of partial side wall portions. In the first embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 12, the package 10 has narrow side walls 22, 23 formed from five partial side walls 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, respectively.

  A blank 35 for manufacturing the package 10 is shown in FIG. The blank 35 can be made of a normal packaging material, such as thin cardboard. At the center of the blank, the front wall 18 of the box, the bottom wall 26, the rear wall 21 of the box, the rear wall 20 of the lid, the lid wall 27, the front wall 17 of the lid, and the lid The inner tab 36 is arranged. These walls are connected to each other by a transverse fold line 37. On the sides of the front wall portion 18 of the box, on both sides, side tabs 39, 40, 41 of the box are the partial side wall portions 29,. . . , 33, which are connected to each other by a longitudinal fold line 38. The partial side wall 31 is formed in the region of the box part 11 by the overlapping arrangement of the side tabs 41 of both boxes. The side tabs 38,. . . , 41 are provided on both sides of the rear wall portion 21 of the box. On the side of the rear wall 20 of the box there are corresponding side tabs 42, 43, 44 of the lid, as well as on both sides of the front wall 17 of the lid. In addition, a bottom corner tab 45 and a lid corner tab 46 are present. These are provided on the one hand on the outside of the box side tab 41 adjacent to the bottom wall 26 and on the other hand on the outside of the lid side tab 44 adjacent to the lid wall 27.

  Since the color blank 47 is adapted to the shape of the package, this is the same as the front wall 18 and the partial side walls 29,. . . , 33. To that extent, a corresponding longitudinal fold line 38 is provided in the collar blank 47. Further, the color blank 47 has a recess 48 on the upper side.

  The packaging 10 is manufactured in a conventional manner and manner by a packaging machine for hinge-lid packaging not shown. At that time, the blank 35 is bent along the folding lines 37 and 38 (longitudinal direction and transverse direction).

  The uniqueness of the package 10 exists in that a so-called intermediate plane 49 is formed on the side wall of the box portion 11. In the region of the intermediate plane 49, the transition of the side wall deviates from the normal transition outside the region of the intermediate plane 49. In this way, a characteristic shape of the package 10 is produced.

  In the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 12, a total of four intermediate planes 49 are provided. These intermediate planes are formed on the partial side wall portions 29, 30 and 31, 32, that is, formed on both narrow side wall portions 22, 23. The intermediate plane 49 is provided so as to extend over the region of two adjacent side wall portions of the package 10. Furthermore, the intermediate plane 49 extends along this straight line beyond one straight line along which the longitudinal fold line 38 passes through the adjacent side wall, with the longitudinal fold line 38 being interrupted in the region of the intermediate plane 49. Is provided. The longitudinal fold line 38 transitions to a transition line 50 in the region of the intermediate plane 49, and this transition line transitions along the periphery of the intermediate plane 49.

  The outline of the intermediate plane 49 corresponds to a rhombus in the first embodiment. The upper end or upper apex of the rhombus is then on the upper end 52 of the longitudinal fold line 38 between the side walls. The lower end or lower apex of the diamond lies on the lower end 51 of the longitudinal fold line 38.

  The side corners 56 of the rhombus exist on the longitudinal fold line 38 to the adjacent partial side wall 31 and on the longitudinal fold line 38 to the front wall 18 of the box.

  Thus, as a result, the upper and lower corners or ends of the intermediate plane 49 lie on the intersection of the three weak lines, that is, on the intersection of the fold line 38 and the two transition lines 50. A lateral angle 56 is also present at the intersection of the three lines of weakness, that is again at the intersection of the fold line 38 and the two transition lines 50. This is advantageous for the manufacture of the package 10. This is because the line of weakness is not interrupted.

  The intermediate planes 49 are spaced from the transverse fold line 37 to the bottom wall 26 and to the closing edge 15 of the box part 11, respectively. It has a height and is located in the center of the transverse folding line 37 in the transition to the bottom wall 26 and the closing edge 15 of the box part 11.

  In the region of the side wall portions 22 and 23, the closing edge 15 is inclined, so that the intermediate plane 49 of the partial side wall portions 32 and 33 has a larger interval than the intermediate plane 49 of the partial side wall portions 29 and 30. It is provided by being opened from a transverse fold line 37 to the bottom wall portion 26.

  The intermediate plane 49 is provided only in the region of the box portion 11. On the other hand, no intermediate plane 49 is formed on the lid 12.

  A cut 53 is provided in the material of the blank 35 along the contour of the intermediate plane 49 as a material weakened portion. The material fragile portion or cut 53 preferably continues continuously along the contour of the intermediate plane 49. The material weakened portion along the transition line 50 of the intermediate plane 49 allows the blank 35 to be easily deformed, thereby allowing a deviating transition for each side wall portion. The material fragile portion transitions inside the blank 35 facing the package contents 28.

  The exact transition of the area of the intermediate plane 49 results from its contour and the arrangement at the side walls. In the present case, the intermediate plane 49 has an angle with respect to each side wall and bends (FIGS. 9 and 10).

  The depth of the cut 53 or the cut is between 1/3 and 2/3 of the thickness of the blank 35.

  In the present case, some of the longitudinal fold lines 38 are also formed by cuts 53. That is, at least the narrow partial side wall portions 29,. . . , 33 and the partial side wall portions 29,. . . 33 and the longitudinal fold line 38 between the front wall portion 16 or the rear wall portion 19 adjacent thereto is formed by a known opening.

  The transverse fold line 37 is formed as an engraved groove 54. Other longitudinal fold lines 38 can also be formed as such grooves 54.

  Another uniqueness exists in that adjacent side walls are provided at a predetermined angle 55. The angle 55 between the partial side wall portions 29, 30 or 32, 33 is at least 135 °. In that case, the angle 55 is determined outside the region of the intermediate plane 49, more specifically, on the side facing the package contents 29 (inner angle).

  Based on the formation of the material weakened portion as the (simple) cut 53, the blank 35 is pushed and bent in the region of the material weakened portion when the blank 35 is folded.

  The following describes alternatives and variations to the first embodiment or other embodiments. Only the differences from the referenced embodiment will be described. Unless otherwise noted, each package corresponds to a referenced example.

  A second embodiment of the package 10 is shown in FIGS. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment with respect to the position of the intermediate plane 49 and the shapes of the narrow side wall portions 22 and 23.

  The packaging 10 is an octagonal packaging type packaging 10. That is, the cross section of the package 10 is an octagon. For this reason, the narrow partial side wall portions 22 and 23 for connecting the front wall portion 16 and the rear wall portion 19 are formed by the three partial side wall portions 30, 31, and 32, which are mutually viewed in a plan view. It is provided with an angle.

  Since the intermediate plane 49 is provided in the partial side wall 30 adjacent to the box portion in the second embodiment, the longitudinal fold line 38 between these side walls extends in this (imaginary straight line). Extends beyond a virtual straight line. The quantity and arrangement of the intermediate plane 49 are the same as in the first embodiment. However, the side edges or corners 56 of the rhombus shaped profile do not exist on the adjacent longitudinal fold line 38 but are spaced from it.

  In this embodiment, the longitudinal fold line 38 can be formed as a groove 54 instead of the cut 53, thanks to the larger width of the side wall.

  FIG. 23 shows a third embodiment. Only the shape of the intermediate plane 49 is different from the first embodiment.

  The intermediate plane 49 has a lens shape. At that time, the upper end 52 and the lower end 51 exist on the longitudinal fold line 38 as in the first embodiment. The curved contour of the transition line 50 of the intermediate plane 49 extends laterally to the adjacent longitudinal fold line 38 in the transition to the adjacent side wall.

  FIGS. 24 to 26 show a fourth embodiment in the form of a package 10 having rounded corners 57. Typical for this packaging format is the rounded shape of the upstanding packaging edge between the front wall 16 or rear wall 19 and the narrow side walls 22,23.

  The intermediate planes 49 are respectively provided in regions with rounded corners 57. This rounded corner forms a transition between the front wall 16 and the narrow sidewalls 22, 23 as the partial sidewall 30, and the rear wall 19 and the narrow sidewalls 22, 23 as the partial sidewall 32. It forms a transition between them.

  The partial side walls 30, 32 are formed from a plurality of, for example, eight narrow segments, as is usual in rounded corner packaging. These segments are connected to each other by a longitudinal fold line 38. Unlike the previous embodiments, the segments 58 are not separated from each other by the cut 53 and the longitudinal fold line 38. Only the outer longitudinal fold line 38 in the transition to the front wall 18 and the narrow side walls 22, 23 has these cuts 53.

  The adjacent segments 58 are provided at an angle of, for example, 135 ° or more as in the other embodiments.

  Each of the intermediate planes 49 extends over the entire width of the rounded corner 57, i.e. beyond the plurality of segments 58, where the lower end 51 and the upper end 52 of the rhombus are again the longitudinal fold line 38. Exists on. The lateral corners of the rhombus lie on the longitudinal fold line 38 in the transition with the cut 53 to the front wall 18 and to the partial side wall 31.

  A fifth embodiment, an embodiment in the form of a package 10 having oblique corners 59, is shown in FIGS.

  The oblique corner 59 is formed on the same packaging edge as the round corner 57 in the above-described embodiment. Four intermediate planes 49 are provided as in the second embodiment, i.e. in the transitions between the front side 16 and the rear side 19 and the narrow side walls 22, 23. However, the partial side walls 30, 32 are formed narrower in the region of the oblique corner 59 than in the second embodiment.

  Another variation is shown in FIG. 29 as a sixth embodiment. Uniqueness is that the two wrapping edges in the region of the rear wall 19 are formed as right wrapping edges, while the two wrapping edges adjacent to the front wall 16 are specially designed. Formed with. That is, on the one hand, it is formed as a rounded corner 57 as in the fourth embodiment, and on the other hand, it is formed as an oblique corner 59 as in the fifth embodiment.

  The intermediate plane 49 is provided in the region of rounded corners 57 and the region of oblique corners 59 and is formed as described above. In the region of the right wrapping edge on both sides of the rear wall 19, no intermediate plane 49 is formed.

  A seventh embodiment is described in FIGS. 30 and 31 as a variation of the first embodiment of FIGS. The difference is that a plurality of intermediate planes 49 are formed so as to overlap adjacent side wall portions.

  Since the intermediate planes 49 are positioned with respect to each other (at regular intervals), a longitudinal fold line 38 on one side extends between the intermediate planes provided in an overlapping manner. Another difference is that an intermediate plane 49 is also formed on the cover 12.

  The above-described deformation of the package 10 is described as an eighth embodiment in FIG. This is because the contour of the intermediate plane 49 does not transition to the common lateral edge 56, which is provided on the longitudinal fold line 38 but has a vertical spacing from each other. Therefore, the point that the intermediate plane 49 has a hexagonal shape is different from the package 10 of FIG.

  A ninth embodiment is shown in FIGS. 33 to 42 as a variation of the first embodiment of FIGS. The uniqueness of the package 10 or the corresponding blank 35 shown is that the front wall 18 of the box does not have a rectangular shape and is bounded by a longitudinal fold line 38 that runs diagonally. It can be seen.

  Furthermore, four intermediate planes 49 extend from the transverse fold line 37 in the transition to the bottom wall 26 to the closing edge 15 of the box part 11, i.e. extend over their entire height. Corresponding to the closing edge 15 which is directed obliquely, a higher height of the intermediate plane 49 adjacent to the rear wall portion is produced compared to the intermediate plane 49 adjacent to the front wall portion.

  Compared to the first embodiment, the front wall portion 17 of the lid has a narrower width, while the partial side wall portion 29 is widened. The front wall 18 of the box is bounded by a longitudinal fold line 38 starting from the closed edge 16 and extending on both sides, which is about half the height of the front wall 18 of the box. From the transition to the transverse fold line 37 in the transition to the bottom wall 26. The front wall 18 of the box then has the same width as in the area of the information closing edge 15.

  By means of an obliquely oriented longitudinal fold line 38 between the front side wall 16 of the packaging and the adjacent side wall parts 29, 33, one corresponding other having a folded fold line 38 against these side wall parts. A shape arises. For this reason, not only the intermediate plane 49 but also the substantially triangular portions of the partial side wall portions 29 and 33 outside the intermediate plane 49 are formed so as to deviate from the respective side wall portions.

  The intermediate plane 49 has its lateral corners 56 on the folded longitudinal fold line 38, that is, on the folding point of the longitudinal fold line 38 that is half the height of the front wall 18 of the box.

  The lid 12 of the package 10 does not have the intermediate plane 49 as in the first embodiment, and corresponds to the shape of the box portion 11 and the front wall 17 of the narrower lid and the lid Only the rear wall portion 20 and wider partial side wall portions 29 and 33 are provided.

  Both the contour of the intermediate plane 49 and the longitudinal fold line 38 are bounded by a cut 53 according to FIGS. The angle between adjacent sidewalls is greater than 135 ° as in all examples.

  A tenth embodiment is shown in FIGS. The package 10 shown there is a rectangular package unlike the package 10 of the above-mentioned embodiment. That is, the package 10 has a rectangular cross section. Correspondingly, the package 10 does not have a partial side wall. Also in this package 10, an intermediate plane 49 is formed, i.e. on both sides in the area of the fold line 38 between the front wall 18 of the box and the narrow side wall 25 of the two adjacent boxes.

  The intermediate plane 49 extends over the entire height of the narrow side wall 25 of the box.

  The outline of the transition line 50 is formed in an arch shape, each consisting of two oppositely curved arch portions. The arch portion of each transition line 50 has a different length, which creates a characteristic shape.

  In FIG. 43, the upper arch portion of the left transition line 50 in the drawing has a shorter length than the lower arch portion. In the right transition line 50 in the figure, this is just the opposite. This creates a shape that is unique and difficult to copy. Since the other intermediate plane 49 in the transition to the other side wall 23 is formed in a mirror image, the front wall 16 of the package 10 has a harmonious appearance (FIG. 45). The intermediate plane 49 is not formed in the region of the fold line 38 of the rear wall portion 19.

  Of course, it is conceivable to combine individual features within the framework of the described embodiment. For example, the lens-shaped intermediate plane can be used in other packaging shapes and vice versa. Furthermore, a lens-shaped intermediate plane 49 and a diamond-shaped intermediate plane 49 can be provided in the same package 10. It is further conceivable to provide the intermediate plane only in the region of the front or rear wall. Similarly, it is conceivable that there is a depression only adjacent to one narrow side wall. It is further possible to provide an intermediate plane also on the lid. The contour of the intermediate plane 49 may be different from a rhombus having a bent transition line 50 (either concave or convex). Furthermore, as will be appreciated, the dimensions of the midplane may vary as the examples show.

  It basically represents that the intermediate plane 49 should be provided or formed so that the horizontal perimeter of the package 10 changes as little as possible over the height of the package 10. Is possible. Even though the shrinkage of the outer packaging can achieve a certain balance of different perimeter dimensions, large variations in the perimeter dimensions can lead to normal outer packaging (eg, transparent cellophane) not touching smoothly or without wrinkles. sell. Thus, it is advantageous if the midplane 49 can be positioned and / or shaped so that the perimeter dimensions do not vary significantly. The size and / or width and / or position of the midplane 49 can be selected such that the proportion of the midplane 49 in the peripheral dimensions of the package 10 varies only slightly over the height of the package 10. It is.
