Description

The invention relates to packaging for cigarettes, in particular rectangular packaging of all types, mainly boxes with a hinged lid.

Known packaging for cigarettes such as folding boxes with embossments or recesses. In packages with rounded ribs, that is, in folding boxes with rounded vertical packaging ribs (EP 0745541), grooves formed by deformation of the material are applied in the region of rounded ribs, the purpose of which is to facilitate the execution of rounded ribs during folding. Embossed packaging is also known on the front of the packaging. They are provided for marking packaging or to enhance the design value (EP 0885809). Finally, in packages of this type, it is known to apply recesses on the front side, which should facilitate the handling of the package by exposing the recess to the hand or serve as a window (EP 1532058).

The basis of the invention is the task of improving standard packaging in order to improve their consumer qualities with respect to ease of handling (handling) with them.

To solve this problem, a packaging for cigarettes is proposed, made in the form of a box with a hinged lid made of thin cardboard or similar packaging material and having a box part, a hinged lid connected to it and a collar located in the box part, the walls of the box part and / or lid having formed die-cutting protrusions or indentations. In the package of the invention, the blank (reamer) common for the box part and the lid has openings formed by die-cutting in the region of selected longitudinal bending lines and / or transverse lines so that in vertical or transversely directed edges of the package made in the region of bending lines due to rectangular folding, i.e. grooved grooves are formed at right angles to the shape of the holes, and in the folding inlets of the workpiece adjacent to each other with the formation of two-layer side walls, namely the side walls of the box part and / or side walls of the packaging lid, there are edge recesses, namely edge recesses coinciding with the holes in the region of the corresponding bending ribs.

In a preferred embodiment, the front wall of the lid, together with the seamed inner lid of the lid adjacent to its inner side, forms a closure edge of the lid, in the region of which there are several holes formed by die-cutting, which, after folding the inner lid of the lid, form recesses in the region of the lid closure edge, the closure edge the front wall of the box part, which, with the lid closed, is located opposite the locking edge of the lid, provided with chkoy open with edge recesses and the lid closed recesses formed area formed in the trailing edge of the cover apertures and recesses in the edge opposite the trailing edge of the box parts form a common opening.

In principle, the invention is about changing packaging, especially packaging for cigarettes, from (thin) cardboard using material changes, namely die cutting, embossing, notching, and also by applying other materials to selected surface areas or ribs packaging so that, on the one hand, there is an attractive appearance, and on the other hand, it is pleasant and easier for the consumer to use it when using the package. In relation to the consumer-friendly execution, an improved “haptic” acts, that is, a subjective sensation when the consumer grasps or holds the package due to the embodiment according to the invention. By applying structures to the edges of the package and / or selected surfaces of the package, when folding the package in the area of the front wall of the box and / or the front wall of the lid, it is also easier to manipulate the packaging, namely opening and closing the lid.

In the package according to the invention, elongated, rounded openings are located in the region of the vertical and / or transversely oriented edges of the package, so that when gripping the package there is an easily grasping structure. Alternatively or additionally, first of all, surfaces or walls on the front side can be structured in a folding box, that is, in a folding box, first of all, the front wall of the box and / or the front wall of the lid, so that, along with a peculiar appearance, thanks to areas with increased friction resistance, manipulation is ensured. Structures created by deformation of the material (embossing) can cover the entire packaging area, with the exception of selected folding overlaps, in which there are surfaces for adhesive joints. Special structures for the possibility of better gripping can also be performed in the region of special packaging ribs, for example rounded ribs or beveled ribs.

Particular examples of packaging (for cigarettes) in the drawings relate to folding boxes of (thin) cardboard with a substantially standard construction.

Packages of this type consist of a boxed part 10 and a cover 11. These main parts of the package are made of a single piece (Fig. 1). In addition, the folding box may have a collar 12 made in this case from a separate blank.

The totality of such packages mainly includes the block contents of the package, namely, the wrapped inner billet 48 of stanyol, paper or a similar group of cigarettes. Such a group forms a rectangular block 49 of cigarettes. In addition, the finished package may be surrounded by an external blank of film (not shown).

In a standard way, the workpiece contains folded flaps or packaging walls bounded by longitudinal fold lines 13 and transverse fold lines 14. The boxed part 10 includes the blanks for the front wall 15 of the box, the bottom wall 16 adjacent to it, the back wall 17 of the box and for the (external) side inlets 18 of the box located near the front wall 15 of the box, as well as the inner side boxes connected to the back wall 17 of the box lashes 19 boxes. The latter, adjacent to the bottom wall 16, are equipped with bottom angular inlets 20. In the finished package, the side inlets 18, 19 respectively respectively form the side walls 21 of the box. The bottom corner portions 20 are folded so that they are adjacent to the inner side of the bottom wall 16.

The cover 11 is made in a similar manner, namely, consists of a front wall 22 of the cover, an end wall 23 and a rear wall 24 of the cover. The latter through a transversely directed linear scoring 25 is connected to the rear wall 17 of the box. On the side of the front wall 22 of the lid there are (external) side inlets 26 of the lid. This also includes the inner side lids 27 of the lid in the area of the rear wall 24 of the lid. On the (trapezoidal) side inlets 27 of the cover of the back wall 24 of the cover, there are end corner inlets 28. In addition, the cover 11 has an internal inlet 29 of the cover. In the finished package, it is folded to the inner side of the front wall 22 of the cover and connected to it. In the finished package, the side caps 26, 27 of the lid lie on top of each other and are connected by gluing. Thus, the side walls 30 of the lid are formed.

Typical packaging designs, in this case folding boxes, are provided in the area of vertical or transversely directed edges of the package and / or in the area of the selected surfaces of the packaging walls with special functional structures that convey positive feelings to the consumer while holding the package and / or manipulating it. In the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 1-4, in the region of the selected longitudinal bending lines 13 and / or transverse bending lines 14, holes 31 are applied, which are made by stamping, mainly, simultaneously with the manufacture of the workpiece (Fig. 1). The holes 31 have a special shape here, namely, they are made essentially ellipsoidal with sharply tapering, rounded end regions, so that generally approximately lenticular holes 31 arise, which are centered with respect to the fold lines 13, 14. In the region of the fold line 13, 14, a sequence of several holes 31 is advantageously located at equal distances from each other. It is preferable that the segments of longitudinal fold lines 13 related to the packaging edges of the box portion 10, for example, have four openings 31. The fold ribs of the regions of the fold lines 13 related to the back wall 17 of the box have, for example, five holes 31. In addition, the transverse bend line 14 on the front side of the bottom wall 16 is provided with several, for example three, holes 31. In the area of the cover 11 there are holes 31 on the bend lines 13 from the front side, in this case one opening s 31. Along the transverse fold lines 14 is provided, for example, three apertures 31. The transverse fold line 14 of the bottom wall 16 and end wall 23 from the rear side, and a longitudinal fold line 13 of the rear wall 24 of the lid are no openings.

In a fully folded package, holes 31 form the corresponding recesses or a wave-like contour in the region of the vertical (rectangular in cross section) edges of the package. The two-layer implementation of the side walls 21 of the box and the side walls 30 of the lid is taken into account by the fact that in the folding inlets 18, 19, 27, 28 there are recesses or edge recesses 32 that complement each other in the folded position or coincide with the holes 31 in the area of the mating ribs fold (from the back), so that from the back there is also a structure with recesses in the edges of the package. The grooved grooves made by the openings 31 are closed on the inside by a partially cigarette block 49, partially by a collar 12.

In the area of the front side of the package, only the front transverse fold lines 14 or the fold ribs made of them are provided with a structure created by the openings 31. In the same way, transverse ribs on the back can be made.

A feature is the form of execution of the cover 11 in the area of the front side. The transverse rib 14 between the front wall 22 of the lid and the end wall 23 is advantageously provided with three recesses arranged with a distribution relative to the longitudinal mid-plane based on the corresponding openings 31. In the region of the vertical ribs 13 of the packaging of the lid 11, one approximately advantageously located in the middle there is a recess based on the opening 31. Due to this, the cover 11 can be effectively grasped in this area upon opening.

The transverse edge 14 between the front wall 22 of the lid and the inner lid 29 of the lid (in this case provided with three evenly distributed openings 31) forms the closing edge 33 of the lid, which, when the lid 11 is closed, is opposite the closing edge 34 of the box as upper limit of the front wall 15 of the box. Through the interaction of the holes 31 and the edge recesses 32, the closure edge 33 of the lid and the closure edge 34 of the box form a special structure. The holes 31 of the cover 11 in the region of the closing edge 33 of the cover due to the folded position lead to the execution of rounded notches on the side of the edge. The trailing edge 34 of the box in this case is also provided with three edge recesses 32, which are aligned with the holes 31 of the trailing edge 33 of the lid. In the closed position of the lid 11, free recesses or openings occur, which are limited by the closing edges 33 of the lid on the one hand and the closing edges 34 of the box on the other. On the inside, these recesses or openings are bounded or closed by means of the collar 12, namely by means of the front wall of the collar made in the usual manner. This effect is also obtained in the region of the vertical ribs 13 of the package on the front side by means of the vertical ribs of the collar made by the collar.

Another effective packaging structure is shown by the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 5, FIG. 6, using a folding box as a preferred embodiment. The package (Fig. 6) or its blank (Fig. 5), including the collar 12, is made in a classical way. A particular embodiment relates here to openings 35, 36 in the region of the front wall 15 of the box. Near the trailing edge 34 of the box, a large number in this case of round or circular holes 35, 36 are applied, which are predominantly deposited by die cutting in the manufacture of the workpiece.

The holes 35 are arranged in a special order, namely star-shaped. The middle central hole 35 is preferably made with a larger diameter (from 3 mm to 8 mm, primarily 5 mm or 6 mm) compared with a large number of predominantly smaller holes 36 located along the radial (imaginary) lines (from 2 mm to 5 mm, primarily 3 mm). The holes 35, 36, arranged in a special order, increase the decorative value of the package, especially if, as shown, the holes 35, 36 are closed on the inside by a collar 12 enlarged in the front wall region, and the collar 12 or its front wall can be especially framed in color. The holes 35, 36, due to their location and size, form a structural field 50, which facilitates the gripping and holding of the package, especially when opening and closing the lid 11.

In the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 7-9, a three-dimensional structure of the walls of the package is considered, in this case, the front wall 22 of the lid. It is provided with a certain number of predominantly molded small holes, namely, micro holes 37. They are located in the packaging wall so that outward deformation of the material is formed in the region of the holes 37, namely, the bulge or surrounding micro-hole 37, the protruding edge 38. Micro-holes 37 are located here in parallel transverse rows with a trapezoidal overall execution, which also serves as a functional structural field 50. This structural field 50 is in an advantageous manner approximately in the middle of the front wall 22 of the cover as the gripping field with significantly increased frictional gripping hand cover 11 in the front wall 22 of the cover. The inner lid 29 of the lid may (partially) cover the microholes 37 from the inside.

In the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 10-12, the selected packaging walls (from the outside) over the entire area are provided with deformation of the material, namely, by means of planar embossing of a workpiece with a specific structure. In this case, it is structured in a wave-like or scale-like fashion. Relatively small outward convexities of the material are created, which are surrounded by (molded flaky) inwardly formed edges 40. The structure of the packaging material (thin cardboard) created by embossing gives the package or packaging material a higher stability and a pleasant effect for the consumer when holding the package. Uniform raster-like deformations 39, 40 are significant, for example, with a deformation depth (in the region of molded edges 40) from about 1/10 mm to 5/10 mm, mainly with an order of magnitude from 2/10 mm to 3/10 mm. For functional reasons, the size of the fields (scales) is advantageously also limited to sizes (edge lengths) from 2 mm to 5 mm in each direction.

In this embodiment, all the walls or surfaces of the package are provided with a small raster structure (flake embossing), with the exception of the boxes located inside the side inlets 19 and located inside the side inlets of the lid 27. Each of these inlets is coated with glue for connecting to the external side inlets 18, 26. In addition, bottom corner inlets 20 and corner inlets 28 of the cover are free from embossing. In contrast, the inner lid inlet 29 of the lid is provided with (flake) embossing, which with the folded inner lid 29 of the lid coincides with the shape on the front wall 22 of the lid. In this case, the collar 12 is also made with a plane (flake) embossing that is otherwise suitable for the packaging.

A feature with respect to the applied structure is shown in the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 13-15. The selected surfaces or walls of the folding box, in this case the front wall 22 of the lid, are provided with protrusions or elevations, in this case in the form of separate relatively small thickenings 41, which consist of a special material and are applied to the corresponding surface of the package and connected to it . The bulges 41 form a structural field 50, which in this case runs along the entire front wall 22 of the lid.

Thickening 41 may consist of plastic, and the material is applied in a fluid or molded state mainly during the manufacture of the workpiece (Fig. 13). When the material is cured, thickenings 41 form that are stable in shape and connected to the wall of the package. Preferably, they can consist of hot-melt adhesive, that is, a substance that is molded at high temperatures, and at normal ambient temperature, the package is solid during use. The bulges 41 have a round or dome-shaped structure and are located on the surface of the front wall 22 of the lid (or on the other wall of the package) mainly in rows directed across, in any case in a cramped structure.

FIG. 16 shows an alternative to the above embodiment. The wall of the package, in this case facing the end wall 23 of the lid 11 (upper) region of the front wall 22 of the lid, here outside of the inner lid 29 of the lid, has as a structural field 50 the blanks made by embossing the material, mainly rounded recesses 42. In the created thus, the grooves are filled with an initially formed substance, which predominantly ends flush with the outer side of the front wall 22 of the lid and thus forms a filling 43 of the recesses 42. Container material fillings 43 has a high friction value is primarily made of plastic or a heat-fusible substance. Stamping or indentations 42 and their filling 43 are performed predominantly in the manufacture of the workpiece (Fig. 13).

In FIG. 17-19 show an example of a folding box with specially made packaging ribs. This is a so-called package with rounded ribs, in which the vertical ribs of the package are made in the form of rounded ribs 44 mainly with a cross-sectional shape in the form of a quarter of a circle. In the region of the rounded ribs 44, the blank (Fig. 17) contains individual embossment lines not made by embossing, but a group of dot embossments, which are formed into the corresponding size of the rounded edge 44 of the embossed strip 45. Each embossed strip 45 consists of a large number of small point elevations, which , similarly to the embodiment of FIG. 9 are made in the form of punctures 46. The corresponding needle-shaped tools will be effective, mainly in the manufacture of the workpiece according to FIG. 17, on the inside of the workpiece, so that through holes with sharply converging elevations 47 are formed on the outside of the package. Embossed strips 45 made in this way are located predominantly in the region of all rounded ribs 44 of the package, here also in the region of the lid 11. Such a structure, advantageously Thus, with the exception of the curvature region, it conveys to the consumer a reliable feel while holding the package. Even with the remaining smooth surfaces of the package, it can be held without applying increased pressure.

The exemplary embodiments described herein may be applied in packages, if appropriate, together. The implementation of the front wall 22 of the cover in the embodiment according to FIG. 7-9 or in accordance with FIG. 13-16 may be used, preferably, in the packaging of FIG. 5, FIG. 6 or according to FIG. 17-19. Structures on the entire surface, respectively of FIG. 10-12 can be applied to individual selected packaging walls. A particular embodiment of the rounded ribs 44 in FIG. 17-19 can be similarly applied also for packages with octagonal or beveled ribs. In addition, all the structures shown and described can be used for other packages (for cigarettes), especially for packages such as casings and guides, boxed containers and so-called boxes with lids.
