Description

The invention relates to packs for elongated, rod-shaped objects, especially for cigarettes, with the signs of the restrictive part of paragraph 1 of the claims.

The theme of this innovation is to improve consumer manipulation, especially with cigarette packs. First of all, we are talking about removing the first cigarette or (several) first cigarettes at the beginning of using the pack. Due to the precise manufacture of the cigarette packs, the cigarettes are often located under tension in the cigarette block, so that it is difficult to remove, first and foremost, the cigarettes from the formed cigarette block.

Means are known for assisting in the removal of cigarettes from packs, in particular in carrying out a “cigarette elevator” in the form of an elevator or lifting tape, which normally extends along the end of the cigarette to be removed from the bottom. Due to the effect on the tape, at least one cigarette is lifted (DE 40404607 A1).

It is also known to connect the extractor tape or the tape to a pull valve (often used in cigarette packs). It is located in the end side of the inner wrapper of the cigarette group - stanoliol, paper, foil. When pulled, the front side cigarettes open in the upper region. A lifting belt can be connected to this valve, so that when the exhaust valve is acted upon, the belt is activated with it (DE 3410217 A1).

The basis of the invention lies in the task of offering an extraction aid, especially for cigarettes, which is manufactured in a simple way and does not require special material costs, but, nevertheless, at least one cigarette is reliably brought in at the beginning of use in the raised position of capture.

To solve this problem, a (cigarette) pack corresponding to the invention has been formed with the characteristics of claim 1 of the claims.

The basis of the invention lies in the idea of making and positioning an extraction aid, especially a lifting or elevator belt, so that when the exhaust valve is actuated, the lifting belt does not break or separate from the exhaust valve. In addition, it is ensured that the raised cigarette (or raised cigarettes) is pulled out of position until the lifting tape is completely separated from the internal cut and pulled out together with the exhaust valve, not jerkily, but carefully.

An important feature is the connection between the lifting belt and the exhaust valve, namely with the transition region, which prevents separation, mainly due to rounded or rounded transition contours. In addition, depending on the load capacity of the material of the internal cutting, the dimensions of the lifting tape are set so that strength is provided during the lifting process. Accordingly, the dimensions of the shared joints — the residual joints — between the lifting tape and the cutting of the inner wrapper are set.

A particular invention consists in the fact that the lifting tape extends up to the closed area, that is, formed without folding inlets, of the inner bottom wall of the inner wrapper, preferably approximately to the middle of the bottom wall. The contour of the end of the lifting tape, in the region of the bottom wall, is designed in a special way, so that when the lifting tape is activated, primarily by pulling the exhaust valve, the lifting process first acts on the cigarette (or cigarettes), primarily due to the orderly dissection of the residual connections, and finally, the end of the lifting tape is completely separated from the internal cutting. At least in the region of the bottom wall, the lifting tape is advantageously made with a converging, primarily sharply tapering, contour, and at the end of the lifting belt thus formed, there is a connection, preferably the last one, which is shared by the last, with internal cutting.

To improve the action of the lifting tape, the cigarette block or the inner pack, advantageously in the region of the inner front wall and / or the inner bottom wall, can be fixed in the outer pack, namely by gluing, mainly using purposefully located adhesive points located outside area of the lifting tape.

Other details and features of the invention are further explained in more detail using the drawings. Shown on:

In the drawings, by way of example, an outer pack 10 shows a cigarette pack of a box type with a hinged lid. This innovation is also applicable to other forms of packs, for example, in a pack of penal type ("Shell and Slide").

The outer pack 10 consists of a (lower) box-shaped part 11, a cover 12 and a collar 13. The box-shaped part 11 is formed by the front wall 14 of the box, the rear wall 15 of the box and the side walls 16 of the box. Similarly, the lid 12 is formed by the front wall 17 of the lid, the rear wall 18 of the lid and the side walls 19 of the lid. The box part 11 and the lid 12 are interconnected with the possibility of folding, in the present case, using a longitudinal scoring 20 in the region of the rear wall 15 of the box and the rear wall 18 of the lid.

The contents of the pack are a molded group of cigarettes 37, that is, a cigarette group 21. In the present case, the cigarettes 37 are arranged in rows with a front row and, preferably, with at least one other row.

The cigarette group 21 is surrounded by a cutting - an internal cutting 22 - of staniol, paper, foil. In the embodiment of FIG. 6, the inner opening 22 surrounds the cigarette group 21 completely and forms a closed inner pack 23 in the form of a block (stanolev block).

In this exemplary embodiment of FIG. 1-6 internal cutting 22 is made according to the principle of longitudinal folding. An elongated, primarily rectangular, internal cut (Fig. 6) forms successive regions for the inner front wall 24, the inner bottom wall 25 and the inner back wall 26. The walls are separated from each other by means of (imaginary) lines along and across 27 fold.

The opening 22 is folded in a U-shape, starting from a closed single-layer inner bottom wall 25, around the cigarette group 21. The inner end wall 28 consists of folding flaps, in the present case in the form of an envelope folding with trapezoidal longitudinal flaps 29, 30. External longitudinal the inlet 30 is connected to the inner front wall 24 of the internal cutting 22. The inner side walls 31 are composed of partially overlapping inner side inlets 32, 33, and in the folded inner opening 22 connected to the inner front wall 24 overlaps the inner side 32 are located on the outer side, that is connected to partially overlap the inner rear wall 26 overlaps the inner side 33.

The inner pack 23, or a cigarette block, in the upper region facing the lid 12 is partially surrounded by the collar 13, namely the collar front wall 34 and the collar side inlets 35. The front wall 34 of the collar is provided with a conventional recess 36, which, when the lid 12 is open, facilitates access to the contents of the pack.

The theme of the invention is the provision of cigarettes to the consumer, especially when removing the first cigarettes, that is, at least one, mainly medium, cigarette 37 located on the front side of the row (Fig. 3, Fig. 4). The provision relates primarily to the fact that one or more cigarettes 37, when the lid 12 is open, is moved by means of a lifting means to a raised and at the same time open position with respect to the end regions. To do this, the lifting belt 38 is activated, or the elevator belt, which, taking a cigarette 37 with it, is pulled out of the outer pack 10, in the present case, into the recess area 36 of the collar 13.

Lifting tape 38 is part of the internal cutting 22, primarily part of the inner front wall 24 and the inner bottom wall 25. The lifting tape 38 is limited by dividing or notching lines 39 (Fig. 6), but, nevertheless, through the residual connections 40, 41 remains a part of the internal cutting 22. In the present exemplary embodiment (Fig. 6), each of the (parallel) notching lines 39 on both sides of the lifting belt 38 is provided with two residual connections 40, 41 in the region of the inner front wall 24, which are located at selected positions. The lower residual connections 41 are adjacent to the inner bottom wall 25 or to the transverse folding edge 27 thereof.

Lifting tape 38 extends all the way to the single layer region of FIG. 1-8 of the inner bottom wall 25, primarily (approximately) to the middle of that. The lifting tape here is also limited (on both sides) by notching lines 42, which extend from the inner front wall 24 along the (transverse) fold line 27 up to the inner bottom wall 25. The lifting tape 38 forms here an end section important for functioning in the region of the inner bottom walls 25, namely the end shoulder 57.

In the first section, it, as an extension of the lifting belt 38, is limited by respectively extended cutting lines 39 and then converging, primarily ending sharply, cutting lines 43, which are directed, mainly, at an angle of (about) 90 °, so that a sharp the fixed end 47 of the lifting tape 38.

In addition, residual compounds are distributed in this area in a special way. Opposite to each other, the residual connections 44 are in the present case at the transition of the (parallel) notch lines 42 into the (convergent) notch lines 43. Other residual connections, primarily a solid end connection 45, form the (imaginary) tip of the lifting belt 38 or a rigidly fixed end 47. This end of the lifting tape 38, that is, primarily the end connection 45, is located approximately in the middle of the inner bottom wall 25. This ensures the separation of the lifting tape 38 from the inner cutting 22 also in the region the part (directed across) of the inner bottom wall 25 is exactly in the middle.

Due to the location of the lifting belt 38, its size (width 46), due to the location and size of the residual connections 40, 41, 44, 45, an orderly movement of the lifting tape 38 without separation is ensured, namely, primarily, so that located on the side the bottom end of the lifting belt 38, that is, first of all, the end shoulder 57, up to the last moment, is held in conjunction with the internal opening. End connection 45 is separated last. This leads to the fact that when the lifting belt 38 is actuated, the end shoulder 57 first reaches an inclined position (FIG. 4), in which the cigarette 37 (or cigarettes) captured by the lifting tape 38 moves to the ejection position. With continued pulling load on the lifting belt 38, it is completely detached and pulled out of the stack.

In an advantageous embodiment, the residual compounds, depending on the strength of the material of the internal cutting 22, have a size or length from 0.5 mm to 2 mm. A preferred size range is 0.8-1.5 mm. Accordingly, the size of the end connection 45 is set along the cutting lines 43, so that in aggregate a slightly higher strength of the end connection 45 is obtained. When arranging the residual connections, it should also be taken into account that the packaging process must ensure the integrity of the (internal) cutting 22.

For the effectiveness of the lifting process, the strength of the lifting belt 38 along its entire length is important. It is provided with a transverse dimension, that is, a width of 46, and, if necessary, a special contour. Width 46 is determined, first of all, by the value of mass per unit area (weight per unit surface) in g / m ² . This value is also called grammar. With a (average) grammage of about 30-35 g / m ² , the width 46 of the lifting tape 38 is about 12 mm. With a smaller grammage, a width of 46 about 15 mm is sufficient, and with an increased grammar, a width of 46 is about 8 mm.

The size of the shoulder 57, that is, part of the lifting tape 38 in the region of the inner bottom wall 25, is set so that during the lifting process (at least one), the cigarette 37 is gripped sufficiently, mainly over the entire area. The length 48 of the shoulder 57 in the region of the cutting lines 42 is advantageously greater than the diameter of the cigarette 37. The adjacent cutting lines 32 form an angle 49 from 30 ° to 60 ° with respect to the parallel cutting lines 42, depending on the depth of the pack. Preferred is an angle 49 of 45 ° and the relative position of the notch lines 43 relative to each other at an angle of 90 °.

The actuation of the lifting belt 38 is carried out mainly with the help of a special partial region of the internal cutting 22. In this case, we are talking about a patch removed at the beginning of use, first of all, an exhaust valve 50. It is defined as the upper inner side region cutting 22 and separated from other parts of the internal cutting 22 using (directed across) sections of the line of weakening or perforation line 51. The previously mentioned line of weakening extends (side) along the entire width of the inner cutting it 22, so that the end part of the inner front wall 24 located on the end side of the region of the (external) inner side inlets 32 and connected to the inner front wall 24, the folding inlets of the inner end wall 28 are part of the exhaust valve 50. At the beginning of use he pack, as part of the inner pack 23 is removed from it, so that the cigarettes located on the front side open in the upper region (Fig. 2, FIG. 3).

Due to the contour of the lifting belt 38 or due to the transition 52 made in a special way from the lifting belt 38 to the exhaust valve 50, the removable cover 50 is protected from tearing. Lifting belt 38 and exhaust valve 50 are pulled out of the stack in this way as a unit. Transition 52 is a specially contoured region of the lifting belt 38 with a width increasing in the direction of the exhaust valve 50. Especially effective is the transition 52 with rounded edges. In the present case, the transition 52 is provided as a contour with (two-sided) quarters 53 of a circle. The size, or width, of the transition 52 is selected according to the load capacity of the material. The quarter 53 of the circle has, advantageously, a radius of 54 about 10 mm for a medium-strength material, a radius of about 15 mm for a less thick material (with a lower grammage) and a radius of about 5 mm for a material with a higher grammage.

The residual connections 40, 55 are arranged so that the entire transition region 52, that is, a quarter 53 of the circle and, preferably, adjacent vertical or horizontal shoulders are made in the form of a solid separation boundary. The perforation line 51 directed across is advantageously designed so that in the region of the inner front wall 24 for each adjacent to the lifting belt 38 directed across the punch shoulder one residual connection 55 is provided. The other residual connection 56 is located in the region of the (external) internal side inlet 32.

Due to the (geometric) design of a single unit, consisting of a lifting belt 38 and an exhaust valve 50, this part of the internal cutting 22 is separated from the connection while maintaining unity and is pulled out of the bundle (Fig. 3). In FIG. 4 shows the initial phase of actuating the exhaust valve 50, namely, the raising position of the cigarette. The continued position can be seen in FIG. 5, and finally, the element completely elongated from the stack — in FIG. 3. Due to the shape of the lifting belt 38 and the exhaust valve 50 as a whole, as well as the location and dimensions of the residual connections when the exhaust valve 50 is actuated, it is advantageous to first separate it from the internal cutting 22. After that, the residual connections 40 are then separated - residual connections 41. From here, due to the movement of the lifting belt 38, the lifting position according to FIG. 4 is obtained. Finally, the end connection 45 is disconnected, and the lifting strip 38 is pulled by an exhaust valve 50 from the stack (completely).

In FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 shows a pack with an inner cut 22 or an inner pack 23 according to the principle of transverse folding. With such a pattern of cutting or bundles, the inner front wall 24 and the inner rear wall 26 are adjacent and separated by the inner side wall 31. On the free sides of the inner front wall 24 and the inner back wall 26 there are inner side inlets 32, 33 for forming from overlapping each other folding flaps 32, 33 of the inner side wall.

The inner bottom wall 25 is made in a special way. It consists of several folding inlets, primarily of (trapezoidal) bottom inlets 58, 59. Together with other folding inlets, they form, like the inner end wall 28, the inner bottom wall 25.

The retrieval aid of at least one cigarette 37 is similar. The exhaust valve 50 consists of an end face of the inner front wall region 24 and a folding inlet located thereon. In the region of the inner side wall 31, the exhaust valve 50 is limited by a notch line 60 of the valve, which extends mainly approximately in the middle along the inner side wall 31 up to the upper free edge of the cutting 22.

The exhaust valve 50 is connected to the lifting belt 38 in the manner described, namely, with a special transition 52. In contrast to the previous embodiment, the lifting belt 38 is made in the form of a belt of material not with a constant width, but with a changing, namely tapering, towards inner bottom wall 25 wide. Side cutting lines 39 to limit the lifting belt 38 extend downwardly to converge, mainly in a straight line.

The lifting tape 38 extends with the continuation of the notch lines 39 up to the bottom inlet region 58, which is connected to the inner front wall 24 and in the finished bundle (Fig. 10) abuts the outer side of the inner bottom wall 25. The end shoulder 57 is exclusively in the region of the bottom inlet 58, preferably with the formation of a point limited by the converging cutting lines 43 as a rigidly fixed end 47 of the lifting belt 38. When the lifting belt 38 or the exhaust valve 50 is actuated, the lifting contours tapes 38, especially convergent cutting lines 39, cause a preferred change in the direction of action of the pulling forces in the region of the lifting tape 38 and subsequent separation of the residual connections 40, 41. Converging cutting lines 39 are advantageously directed to each other at an angle of 64 from 15 ° to 20 °, especially 17 °.

In the second, located inside the bottom inlet 59, the addition of the lifting tape 38 is made, namely, mainly due to two straight cuts 61, which are held from the free edge of the bottom inlet 59 and run in parallel. The notches 61 are located in the region of the lifting belt 38 or the end arm 58. The action is limited by the notches 61 with the movable tongue 62 as part of the bottom inlet 59.

Regardless of the cutting 22, the inner bundle 23 can be fixed at least in the region of the inner front wall 24 and / or part of the inner bottom wall 25 in the outer bundle 10, in the present case, with glue or adhesive points 63. The location is chosen so that two (vertical) rows of glue points 63 are located on both sides of the lifting tape 38, mainly in the lower region of the inner front wall 24 and / or in the region of the (external) bottom inlet 58. Due to this, when the lifting tape 38 is activated but loaded area or the portion of the inner packs 23 are prevented from undesired displacement, in particular from the recess across the inner pack 23. The same or similar fixation inner pack 23 may also be preferable in the embodiment according to FIG. 1-6. Glue points 63 cause the inner pack 23 to connect to the front wall 14 of the box and / or to the bottom wall of the carton of the outer pack 10.
