Definitions
- the invention relates to a cigarette box according to the preamble of claim 1 or 17 and in particular to a cigarette box which has a hood-like lid on a box body made of flat material, for example cardboard, on the top of the box, which has a hood-like cover which can be pivoted about a material section on the back of the cigarette box is connected to the rest of the box body.
- the latter consists of a box element, which forms the cigarette box bottom and extends over the greater part of the height of the box body and on which the lid is also provided, and an insert, which is also made of the flat material, for example cardboard, and the box or removal opening on at least three sides, namely limited on the two narrow sides and on the front of the cigarette box and which is received in the closed lid with an area protruding from the box element.
- cigarette boxes are also referred to as a hard box.
- a fundamental problem is that after opening such a cigarette packet for the first time, it is not guaranteed that the reclosed lid will actually remain in its closed position.
- the lid often opens undesirably, especially when the cigarette box is kept in jacket or trouser pockets. The tobacco aroma can then escape through the opened lid, or tobacco components etc. can be removed from the opened box into the jacket or trouser pocket or other object where the cigarette box is kept.
- a disadvantage of known cigarette boxes designed as hard boxes is also that after a very wide opening of the lid when the lid is closed again, the edge of the lid comes into contact with an edge of the insert or the box body and this insert or box body is deformed or the lid is only incompletely closed becomes.
- the object of the invention is to avoid these disadvantages and to guarantee a secure closure.
- a cigarette box is designed according to claim 1 or 17.
- the lid locks onto the box when it is closed, i.e. the cover is held in its closed position by a positive locking function and can only be opened again by overcoming a certain force.
- the means required for this latching function are generated, for example, from the flat material from which the box is also made, and preferably in one piece with the box and / or elements (e.g. insert and / or lid) of the box by means of a corresponding layout of the cut for the Box or element of the box.
- the basic advantage of the cigarette box according to the invention is that even with prolonged use of this box, reliable closure is ensured by the lid, namely by the closure system with the cooperating catches or latching elements on the lid and on the box body.
- the locking elements of the box body are preferably on the insert, ie provided where the closed lid and the box body overlap.
- Figure 1 in a simplified representation and in side view of a cigarette box according to the invention with the lid partially open.
- Figure 2 is a front view of the cigarette box of Figure 1;
- FIG. 3 shows a plan view of the cigarette box of FIG. 1;
- FIGS. 1-3 shows the cut of the box body of the cigarette box of FIGS. 1-3;
- FIGS. 1-3 shows the cut of the upper insert of the cigarette box of FIGS. 1-3; 6-10 illustration like FIGS. 1-5 in a further possible embodiment of the invention;
- FIG. 1 1 - 15 representation like Figures 1 - 5 in a further possible embodiment of the invention.
- Figures 1-5 1 is a cigarette box, which is designed as a hard box from two blanks 2 and 3 made of cardboard by folding and gluing, with a box body 4, which is formed by corresponding folding and gluing of the blank 2, and with the shaft element 4.1 and with the lid 6 hinged to the rear of the cigarette box 1 via a material section 5 acting as a hinge.
- the cigarette box 1 also has an insert 7 formed by the blank 3, which inserts the interior of the cigarette box 1 in the region of the upper opening 8 limited, on the two narrow sides and on the front of the cigarette box, and the its area projecting over the upper edge of the box element 4.1 is received by the latter when the cover 6 is closed.
- the sections of the blank 2 designated 2.1 - 2.3 in FIG. 4 form the cover 6, the remaining sections designated 2.4 - 2.6 form the box element 4.1 with the bottom 9 facing away from the cover 6. Furthermore, a tab-like section 2.7 is provided, which adjoins the free, in Figure 4 upper end of the blank 2 connects to the section 2.1 there and the 4 forms a flipped inward and attached to the inner surface of the lid 6 tab 10 when finished, in such a way that by the flap 10 folded over by 180 °, the cover 6 forms a reinforced edge 11 on the side remote from the material section 5.
- the section 2.7 or the tab 10 formed by this section is angled again at its free edge, so that in the interior of the cover 6 at a distance from the edge 11 a strip-like projection 12 protruding from the inner surface of the cover 6 is formed, which extends over the entire width of the cigarette packaging 1 or the lid 6, in parallel to the materia labites 5th
- the blank 3 forming the insert 7 essentially comprises three sections, namely the middle section 3.1 and the two outer sections 3.2 and 3.4 projecting like wings, which connect to the middle section 3.1 via fold lines 3.5 and 3.6, respectively, so that through right-angled bending of the two outer sections 3.2 and 3.3 around the fold lines 3.4 and 3.5 respectively in one
- the section 3.1 is provided on one side with a recess 13 which extends almost over the entire width of the section 3.1.
- the blank 3 is shaped so that the section 3.1 there forms a corresponding projection, so that the blanks 3 can be produced without loss.
- the edge of the recess 13 runs in a partial area 13.1 perpendicularly or essentially perpendicularly to the fold lines 3.4 or 3.5 and in the respective outer areas 13.2 and 13.3 parallel or approximately parallel to these fold lines.
- a nose-like projection 14 is formed by a small incision and by bending or folding the flat material (cardboard), which projection extends over the plane of the outer surface of the section 3.1, ie protrudes beyond the plane of the front of the insert 7 in such a way that each projection 14 extends in an axial direction parallel to the longitudinal axis L of the cigarette packaging 1 and thus parallel to the edges between the long or narrow sides and the front of the packaging.
- the edge of each projection 14 forms an edge section 14.1, which has a distance from the plane of the front of the insert 7 that increases with increasing distance from the opening 8.
- each projection 14 is thus wedge-shaped, with a wedge or run-up surface formed by the edge section 14.1, which is then adjoined by a latching surface at the end of the projection 14 remote from the opening 8, which is formed by an edge section 14.2 is formed, which runs perpendicular or almost perpendicular to the plane of the front of the insert 7.
- the arrangement is also such that when the cover 6 is closed, the projection 12 first slides onto the edge section 14.1 of the projections 14 and finally engages behind the edge section 14.2 which acts as a catch. As a result, the cover 6 is through
- the closure system formed by the projections 12 and 14 can be realized practically without additional material and cost simply by a slight change to the previously used punching and bending tools and nevertheless ensures that the cigarette pack 1 is particularly secure and also reclosed.
- the snap lock prevents, in particular, drying out of the cigarettes still present in the cigarette packaging 1 and ensures reliable aroma protection through the always tightly closed lid 6.
- the advantage of the cigarette box 1 or the locking system used in this cigarette box is, inter alia, also in the fact that the projection 12 is provided on the edge of the cover 6 which is reinforced by the folded section 2.7 or by the tab 10, that is to say the locking system is extremely robust and functionally reliable, even in the case of an already in use, damaged or damaged Cigarette box 1.
- the protrusions 12 and 14 or the locking elements formed by these protrusions disengage, making an audible click sound.
- the cover 6 is closed again.
- the function of the locking system is also acoustically illustrated for the user, i.e. the user gets a confidence-inspiring and multi-part impression of the packaging.
- the described closure system is also designed so that it allows the cigarette packaging 1 to be opened and closed properly at least until all the cigarettes have been removed from the packaging.
- FIGS. 6-10 show a representation similar to FIGS. 1-5 as a further embodiment of a cigarette packaging 1a, which differs from the cigarette packaging 1 only by a different design of the latching or closure system.
- the blank corresponding to the blank 3 is 3a in the area of the fold lines 3.4 and 3.5 each with an incision 15 in such a way that after the bend in the outer sections 3.2 and 3.3 on the insert 7a corresponding to the insert 7 there are laterally projections 16 which extend beyond the sections 3.2 and 3.3 project formed narrow sides of the insert 7a.
- the blank 2a corresponding to the blank 2 for the box body 4a and the lid 6a has a rectangular recess 17 on the outside of the section 2.3, which after folding the box body 4a with the lid 6a from the blank 2a in the interior of the lid 6a Depression 18 forms, in the vicinity of the front side of the cover 6a facing away from the material section 5 and having the edge 11 on each of the inner surface of a narrow side of this cover.
- a projection 16 engages in a recess 18, the depth of which is equal to the material thickness of the cardboard used for the blank 2a.
- Figures 1 1 - 15 show representations similar to Figures 1 - 5 as a further possible embodiment of a cigarette packaging 1b, which differs from the cigarette packaging 1 only in that the blank 3b corresponding to the insert or blank 3 at the outer edges of the section 3.2 and 3.3 is provided approximately at the level of the edge section 13.1 with a short incision 19 running parallel to this edge section, so that a flap 20 results in each case over the incision 19 in the illustration selected for FIG.
- the blank 3a in turn forms an insert 7b corresponding to the insert 7.
- the incisions 19 are then in the area of the back of the packaging, i.e. near the as
- Hinge acting material section 5 in such a way that the incisions 19 are approximately at the level of this hinge 5 and the tabs 20 in the illustration chosen for Figures 1 1 and 12 above the hinge 5, ie on the the side of the hinge 5 facing away from the box bottom 9.
- the tabs 20 are rounded or angled in such a way that with their free end they protrude somewhat into the space formed by the insert 7b and thus form an oblique or rounded edge for the insert 7b on the back, as shown in FIG. 13 on the left for an angled bracket 20 or on the right for a slightly rounded one
- Tab is shown. These tabs 20 also ensure that the box lid 6b is closed when this lid has been opened beyond the one shown in FIG. 11 in the direction of the arrow A there.
