Description

The invention relates to a box with a hinged lid, in particular for cigarettes consisting of a box part, a lid pivotally connected to it, and also from a separate cuff, which is secured in the box part with its lower region, and is covered by its upper region when the lid is closed. The invention further relates to a method and apparatus for manufacturing such boxes.

In the manufacture of cigarette packs, there is an increasing need for applying information, advertising texts, labels, etc. to a pack of cigarettes, which, on the one hand, is used as an indication for consumers, but, on the other hand, this application negatively affects the manufacturing process. packs. Typically, a cigarette box with a hinged lid on the outside is provided with a seal that partially has informational content and partially serves for advertising purposes.

The objective of the invention is to offer a package such as a box with a hinged lid, including measures for its manufacture, which contains informational instructions and / or advertising links in a location perceived by the consumer, the application of which does not adversely affect the manufacturing process of the box.

The box proposed according to the invention for solving this problem is characterized in that the cuff, consisting of a separate cut, preferably has letters, numbers or emblems applied by embossing in the region of the front wall of the cuff, i.e. by deforming the material.

The application of the required verbal, digital or graphic elements in the cuff region guarantees consumer perception if the embossing is located in the cuff region protruding from the box. However, information not directly intended for the consumer can be positioned during the manufacture of the inner space of the packet or, accordingly, of the packet itself in the region of the cuff that is located inside the box.

Feature is embossing on the cuff. In the manufacture of a separate cutting of the cuff by separating from the strip of material or the cuff strip, embossing is carried out almost simultaneously using the organ also used for other types of processing. In this regard, there is no need for additional work steps. On the contrary, there is provided an apparatus for forming cuffs, namely a separating organ and / or an organ for cutting and embossing with predominantly easily replaceable embossing elements, which carry out positionally precise embossing on the opening of the cuff during its manufacture. Thanks to this, without special adjustments, precise positioning of the embossing is ensured.

Other features of the pack, manufacturing method and device are explained in more detail below using the drawings, in which:

figure 1 is a perspective image of a box with a hinged lid with the lid open,

figure 2 is a schematic side view of an apparatus for forming cuffs with an organ for stamping a cuff,

figure 3 is a partial region of the device according to figure 2 in a top view along arrow III in figure 2 on an enlarged scale,

4 is a fragment IV in figure 2 in an even larger scale in a vertical section.

In the case of the cigarette pack, shown as an example in figure 1, we are talking about a box with a hinged lid, which consists mainly of the lower box-shaped part 10 and the cover 11. Next, the cuff 12 is an integral part of the box with a hinged lid. The cuff 12 is formed from a separate cutting of thin cardboard or the like material and has a front wall 13 made in the usual way, as well as side tabs of the cuff 14. The cuff 12 is located in the box-shaped portion 10 and is fixed by its lower region by gluing from the inside on the front wall 15 and / or side walls 16 of the box. The upper region of the cuff 12 protrudes from the box portion 10 and in the closed position of the cover 11 is inside it. As the contents of the pack, a group of cigarettes is provided, which is surrounded by an internal cut of paper or foil and, thus, forms a cigarette block 17 filling the inner cavity of the box. A feature of the illustrated bundle is that it has rounded vertical edges 18 of the bundle, and the cuff 12 has correspondingly rounded edges 19.

The cuff 12, namely, in the present example, the front wall of the cuff 13 is provided with overprints 20, 21. These overprints are applied (exclusively) by embossing, i.e. by deforming the material of the cuff 12. The overprint 20 contains information intended for the customer, advertising and the like, which are applied in the region of the cuff 12 or its front wall 13 protruding from the box portion 10, namely, over the closing edge 22 formed by the front wall 15 of the box . Other overprints 21, in particular figures and data on the manufacture, origin of the cigarettes, can be applied, as shown in FIG. 1, in the closed portion of the cuff 12, i.e. under the closing edge 22.

A feature is the manufacture of embossing to obtain overprints 20, 21. Cutting for the cuff 12 is made by separating from a continuously feeding strip of material from thin cardboard, namely from the cuff strip 23. The apparatus for forming cuffs, approximately presented in figure 2, consists mainly Thus, from a cutting or punching device for separating the cutting of the cuff 12. In this case, we are talking about cutting rolls, which consist of a knife roll 24 located above the cuff strip 23 and located under the cuff strip 23 counter roll 25. Knife roll 24 has knives 26 located on the periphery. In this case, we are talking about elevations or protrusions made in the form of cross members (Fig. 4), which are made with sharp edges in cross section. Knives 26 extend across the entire width of the knife roll 24 or strip 23, respectively, so that when the knife roll 24 is rotated, the cuff 12 is manufactured by a transversely directed separation cut. Knives 26 correspond to the contour of the manufactured cuff 12, i.e. made with conventional recesses on the upper side and corresponding protrusions on the lower side. The distances between the (several) knives 26 in the circumferential direction of the knife roll 24 correspond to the size of the cuff 12 in the direction of movement.

Separated from the cuff strip 23 of the cuff 12 are captured by additional rollers 27 and fed to the rounding block 28. It serves for the manufacture or pre-molding of the rounded edges 19 of the cuff. Rounding block 28 is made in accordance with US 5,261,209.

The overprints 20, 21 are embossed on the cuff 12 or the cuff strip 23 in the region of the apparatus for forming the cuffs. A feature is the location of the embossing bodies or the embossing tools 29, 30 on the knife roll 24. Moreover, the embossing tools 29, 30 are positioned so that when the knife roll 24 is rotated in combination with the counter shaft 25, the embossing pressure is transmitted to the cuff strip 23 or cuffs 12. Letters, numbers or other symbols are made in the form of protrusions 31 of the embossing tools 29, 30 and are shifted back by their outer boundaries relative to the cutting edges of the knife 26 (Fig. 4). During cutting or punching to separate the cuffs 12, the knife 26 completely passes through the material, and the embossing tools 29, 30 or their protrusions 31, are only partially immersed in the cuff strip 23 or the cuff 12. Thus, the remaining embossing is carried out.

The embossing tools 29, 30 consist of a longitudinally extending bearing part 32 with protrusions 31 located on one side. The bearing parts 32 are located in notably parallel recesses 33 of the knife roll 24 and can be detachably fixed, for example, with fixing screws 34 here. or replacing embossing tools 29, 30.

The relative position of the embossing tools 29, 30 with respect to the knife 26 is selected in such a way that the relative position of the various embossing or respectively overprints 20, 21 shown in FIG. 1 is reached. This means that the embossing tool 29 for the outside positioned box portion 10 of the overprint 20 is adjacent with a bulge in the knife 26 for the rear in the direction of transportation of the dividing cut (figure 3). Another embossing tool 30 is spaced apart and positioned adjacent to the front knife 26.

A pair of embossing rolls 35, 36 are located in front of the cutting unit from the knife roll 24 and the counter roll 25 in the transport direction. In their area in the cuff strip 37, longitudinal grooves 37 are made by embossing, which serve to make the rounded edges 19 easier. Embossing tools 29, 30 can alternatively (or additionally) present the embodiment shown and act in the area of these rolls 35, 36 for embossing.

Further, the apparatus for forming the cuffs can alternatively be made in such a way that, using the first shaped roll or disk of the organ, conventional cuts or embossments are performed to define the edges of the cuff in the cuff strip 23, and after that the cuffs are separated using the cutting organ. In such an embodiment, the embossing tools 29, 30 can be installed in the area of the front processing rolls and / or in the area of the (clockwise) cutting. Accordingly, it can be achieved that during the manufacture of the cuff, embossing is performed in a temporary and spatial combination with the necessary processing measures.

In the embodiment shown, the embossing member is located above the cuff strip 23, with the front (relative to the box with the hinged lid) side of the cuff 12 facing down. By turning the cuff strip 23 or by arranging the embossing bodies under the cuff strip 23, the embossing 20, 21 can be made so that the convexity of the material will be directed outward.
