Definitions

• the invention relates to a cigarette pack made of cardboard or plastic, with a prismatic base body and a cap for opening and closing the pack for the removal of smoking articles, in particular cigarettes, which are encased by an inner part as a cigarette block.
• Such a cigarette pack is known for example from US-A-6,164,444. It discloses a folding box which is rectangular in cross section and which contains a cigarette wrapper made of barrier material as the inner winding. This compact and sealed inner winding has a removal opening for the cigarettes, which is closed by a separate label.
• the barrier material is soft and requires a supporting inner frame to seal the seams, which at the same time protects the internal cigarettes from mechanical damage and thermal stress during the sealing process.
• the inner frame provides support in the cap area for reclosing the label after a cigarette has been removed, which is achieved in this previously known cigarette pack in that the inner part or the collar in the area of the upper ends of its side walls has tabs which form the support surfaces and thus absorbing the pressure when the adhesive flap is closed again.
• this document proposes to provide the inner part with a U-shaped collar which surrounds the removal opening in a U-shaped manner when the inner part is folded, and forms a support surface for the adhesive flap of the barrier material due to its attachment to the front wall of the inner part.
• the object of the invention is to provide a cigarette pack in which the cigarette block is enclosed in a vapor-tight or aroma-tight manner before use and this vapor and aroma barrier can also be restored after the cigarette has been removed, the pack being intended to be as simple as possible to produce.
• the inner part according to the invention can be punched as a flat blank from vapor-tight and aroma-tight material, for example from cardboard, which is bonded to at least one side
• Barrier material such as plastic or metal is coated, or from another suitable film.

• octagonal pack 1 shows in the right part an octagonal pack 1 as a cigarette pack in the form of a cap folding box with a base body 5 and a pivotable cap 6 articulated thereon via a fold line.
• An inner part 2 is inserted into the base body 5, which in the embodiment shown is a different cross-sectional shape than the base body 5 has, namely is rectangular.
• the cross section of the inner part 2 can also be octagonal, as shown in FIG. 4, the packing 1 there being supposed to be rectangular in cross section.
• pack 1 and inner part 2 can also have the same cross-sectional shape, that is to say both rectangular, both octagonal or both oval.
• the corners can be rounded, or the side walls can be made semicircular at all, as is the case with the cigarette pack disclosed in PCT / EP98 / 04131.
• the inner part 2 has a removal opening 3 for removing cigarettes when the cap 6 is folded back in the manner shown in FIG. 1 and an adhesive tab 4 is detached from the inner part 2 in the manner also shown. It can be seen in FIG. 2 that the adhesive tab 4 hangs on a rear wall 12 of the inner part 2 and with a sealing or adhesive edge 44 of adhesive can adhere to the collar sections 19, 19 'of the inner part 2 in order to close the inner part 2 in a vapor-tight and aroma-tight manner like a barrier layer.
• Figure 2 shows the inner part 2 alone in a developed representation as a cut of a barrier material.
• Metallized or plastic-coated cardboard, plastic film or the like are used as the material for cutting. in question.
• the inner part 2 is punched or cut from a cardboard blank made of barrier material, in another embodiment made of plastic film, so that in the folded state it acts as a vapor or aroma barrier container with a front wall 10, a rear wall 12, with side walls 14 and 14 "and a bottom 16 forms.
• the cut for the inner part 2 in FIG. 2 has the following parts from right to left, which are connected in a straight line and are only separated by fold lines: the front wall
• Front wall side tabs 11, 11 ' connect to the bottom 16 on both sides, bottom side tabs 15, 15' and to the rear wall 12 connect up and down again and thus on both sides rear wall side tabs 13, 13 '.
• the rear wall side tabs 13, 13 ' become the front wall side tabs
• the front wall 10 of the inner part 2 also has a U-shaped cutout 21 on its right edge of FIG. 2, which is an upper edge 18 in the case of the inner part 2 folded according to FIG extends downward from the upper edge 18 parallel to the side walls 14, 14 'and ends at a distance of 0.5 to 3 cm. In this way, a removal opening 3 for the removal of cigarettes is formed. Also includes in the area adjacent to the cutout "21 to the front wall 10 depending on a Vorderwand- projecting tabs 23, 23", which each figure 1 in the folded state in accordance with a collar portion 19, 19 'comes to rest and is glued thereto, or sealed.
• the collar portions 19, 19 'in addition to the front wall collar tabs 23, 23' are arranged, "but not associated with these, but depend on the front wall side tabs 11, 11 'with which it via a fold line at the upper edge 18 of the inner part 2 are connected.
• FIG. 2 also shows the adhesive flap 4 made of vapor-tight and aroma-tight material already mentioned in connection with FIG. 1. It has a shape which corresponds to the shape of the removal opening 3 in the front wall 10, but is larger than the width of the removal opening 3 by the width of an adhesive or sealing edge 44.
• the adhesive or sealing edge 44 is formed by a protective film
• the adhesive or sealing edge 44 has the form of a strip of approximately the same everywhere • width. In this case, the adhesive or sealing edge 44 forms an open, approximately U-shaped curve, as can easily be seen from the drawing.
• a fold line 42 runs across the adhesive flap 4 and thus also across the protective film 43 and settles over the adhesive or sealing edge
• Adhesive flap 4 aligns the fold line 42 with the upper edge 18 of the inner part 2.
• the collar sections 19, 19 ' extend from the side walls 14, 14' to the edge of the removal opening 3.
• their free edge 119 runs parallel to the side walls 14, 14 '.
• the free edge 119 of the collar sections 19, 19 ' can also have a course other than straight, that is to say, for example, it could be concave or convex or similar in shape.
