Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine quaderförmige Verpackung aus Karton, insbesondere für Zigaretten, bestehend aus einem inneren Schachtelteil und einer diesen in Schließstellung umgebenden, becherförmigen Hülse mit einer Ausschuböffnung und mit einer dieser gegenüberliegenden Seitenwand, wobei Schachtelteil und Hülse zueinander verschiebbar sind.The invention relates to a cuboid packaging made of cardboard, in particular for cigarettes, consisting of an inner box part and a cup-shaped sleeve surrounding it in the closed position with an ejection opening and with a side wall opposite this, the box part and the sleeve being displaceable relative to one another.

Eine solche Verpackung ist bekannt aus der GB-A 2 150 119. Der Zuschnitt für die Hülse dieser Verpackung weist Faltlappen für die Vorderwand und die Rückwand auf, die durch einen die Seitenwand der Hülse bildenenden Faltlappen miteinander verbunden sind. Die Ausschuböffnung der Hülse liegt bei der fertigen Verpackung dieser Seitenwand gegenüber. Zum Fertigfalten der Verpackung werden mit der Vorderwand bzw. Rückwand der Verpackung verbundene Faltlappen miteinander verklebt zur Bildung der Stirnwand und der Bodenwand. Die Hülse liegt somit direkt in einer dreidimensionalen Form vor. Die Handhabung einer solchen Hülse bereitet in leistungsfähigen Verpackungsmaschinen Schwierigkeiten, da diese aus dem komplexen Zuschnitt gefaltet und sodann mit dem Schachtelteil vereinigt werden muß.Such packaging is known from GB-A 2 150 119. The blank for the sleeve of this packaging has folding tabs for the front wall and the rear wall, which are connected to one another by a folding tab forming the side wall of the sleeve. The opening of the sleeve is opposite this side wall in the finished packaging. To finish folding the packaging, use the Folding flaps connected to the front wall or rear wall of the packaging are glued together to form the front wall and the bottom wall. The sleeve is thus directly in a three-dimensional shape. The handling of such a sleeve is difficult in high-performance packaging machines, since it has to be folded out of the complex blank and then combined with the box part.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die eingangs beschriebene Verpackung so auszubilden, daß sie mit leistungsfähigen Verpackungsmaschinen problemlos hergestellt werden kann.The invention has for its object to design the packaging described above so that it can be easily produced with powerful packaging machines.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist die Verpackung dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Hülse in einer Zwischenfaltstellung an zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Seiten offen ist, nämlich im Bereich der Ausschuböffnung und im Bereich der gegenüberliegenden Seitenwand, derart, daß die Hülse in der Zwischenfaltstellung flach zusammenlegbar, aus dieser in die dreidimensionale Gestalt aufrichtbar und fertig faltbar ist, wobei nach dem Aufrichten der Hülse Seitenlappen zur Bildung der Seitenwand in die Endstellung haltbar sind.To achieve this object, the packaging is characterized in that the sleeve is open in an intermediate folding position on two opposite sides, namely in the region of the ejection opening and in the region of the opposite side wall, such that the sleeve can be folded flat in the intermediate folding position, from this in the three-dimensional shape is erectable and ready to be folded, with side tabs for forming the side wall being stable in the end position after the sleeve has been erected.

Gemäß dem Erfindungsgedanken wird aus der Hülse ein Zwischenprodukt gebildet, welches aufgrund entsprechender Gestaltung flach zusammengelegt werden kann. Dadurch ist die Handhabung der Hülse innerhalb der Verpackungsmaschine deutlich erleichtert. Die flach zusammengelegte Hülse kann auch gestapelt werden. In weiteren Arbeitsschritten wird die Hülse in dreidimensionaler Gestalt aufgerichtet. Sie wird sodann fertiggefaltet und durch Zusammenschieben mit dem Schachtelteil vereinigt.According to the inventive concept, an intermediate product is formed from the sleeve, which can be folded flat due to the corresponding design. This significantly simplifies the handling of the sleeve within the packaging machine. The flat folded sleeve can also be stacked. In further steps, the sleeve is erected in a three-dimensional shape. It is then folded and combined with the box part by pushing it together.

Die Hülse ist erfindungsgemäß so ausgebildet, daß die der Ausschuböffnung gegenüberliegende Seitenwand aus Seitenlappen besteht, die sich in der Zwischenfaltstellung in der Ebene von Vorderwand und Rückwand der Hülse erstrecken. Dadurch kann die Hülse flach zusammengelegt werden. Nach dem Aufrichten werden die Seitenlappen in die Faltstellung zur Bildung der Seitenwand gefaltet und miteinander verbunden.The sleeve is designed according to the invention so that the side wall opposite the ejection opening consists of side tabs which, in the intermediate folding position, extend in the plane of the front wall and rear wall of the sleeve. This allows the sleeve to be folded flat. After erection, the side tabs are folded into the folded position to form the side wall and connected to each other.

Eine weitere eigenständige Ausbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Verpackung betrifft eine Innenumhüllung für die Zigaretten bzw. Zigaretten-Gruppe. Die Innenumhüllung besteht vorzugsweise aus Staniol. Erfindungsgemäß ist die Innenumhüllung in einem bei geöffneter Verpackung freiliegenden, oberen Bereich mit einer durch Schwächungslinien, insbesondere Perforationslinien, definierten Abreißlasche in Gestalt einer sich "übereck" erstreckenden Kappe versehen. Durch Abziehen der Abreißlasche wird ein eck- bzw. randseitiger Bereich der Zigaretten-Gruppe freigelegt, so daß die Zigaretten leicht entnommen werden können.Another independent design of the packaging according to the invention relates to an inner wrapper for the cigarettes or cigarette group. The inner covering is preferably made of stanol. According to the invention, the inner wrapping is provided in an upper region which is exposed when the packaging is open, with a tear-off tab defined by lines of weakness, in particular perforation lines, in the form of a cap which extends "in a corner". By pulling off the tear-off tab, a corner or edge area of the cigarette group is exposed, so that the cigarettes can be removed easily.

Das dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel einer Verpackung dient zur Aufnahme von Zigaretten 10. Mehrere Zigaretten 10 sind geordnet in Reihen zu einer Zigarettengruppe 11 zusammengefaßt. Diese wiederum ist von einer Innenumhüllung 12 umgeben, üblicherweise aus Stanniol. Die Innenumhüllung 12 ist in üblicher Weise ausgebildet und gefaltet, derart, daß die Zigarettengruppe 11 vollständig umhüllt ist. Im Bereich einer Stirnseite 13 ist die Innenumhüllung 12 kuvertartig gefaltet, derart, daß zwei trapezförmig ausgebildete Stirnlappen 14, 15 einander teilweise überdecken. Die so ausgebildete Stirnseite 13 der Innenumhüllung 12 ist mit einer Öffnungshilfe versehen, nämlich mit einer durch Perforationslinien definierten, kappenförmigen Abreißlasche 16. Diese wird bei Ingebrauchnahme der Verpackung in Öffnungsstellung derselben abgezogen, so daß ein rand- bzw. eckseitiger Bereich des Packungsinhalts freiliegt.The illustrated embodiment of a packaging is used to hold cigarettes 10. Several cigarettes 10 are arranged in rows in a cigarette group 11. This in turn is surrounded by an inner covering 12, usually made of tinfoil. The inner wrapper 12 is designed and folded in a conventional manner such that the cigarette group 11 is completely wrapped. In the area of an end face 13, the inner covering 12 is folded in an envelope-like manner such that two trapezoidal end flaps 14, 15 partially overlap one another. The end face 13 of the inner wrapper 12 thus formed is provided with an opening aid, namely with a cap-shaped tear-off tab 16 defined by perforation lines. When the packaging is put into use, this is pulled off in the opening position thereof, so that an edge or corner area of the package contents is exposed.

Die Verpackung zur Aufnahme des Packungsinhalts (eingehüllte Zigarettengruppe 11) besteht aus zwei selbständigen Teilen, nämlich einem Schachtelteil 17 und einer Hülse 18. Diese Verpackungsteile sind so aufeinander abgestellt, daß der Schachtelteil 17 passend, jedoch verschiebbar, in der Hülse 18 Aufnahme findet. In Schließstellung (Fig. 3) befindet sich der Schachtelteil 17 praktisch vollständig innerhalb der Hülse 18.The packaging for holding the contents of the pack (wrapped cigarette group 11) consists of two independent parts, namely a box part 17 and a sleeve 18. These packaging parts are placed on top of one another in such a way that the box part 17 fits, but can be moved, in the sleeve 18. In the closed position (FIG. 3), the box part 17 is practically completely inside the sleeve 18.

Der Packungsinhalt, nämlich die Zigarettengruppe 11 mit Innenumhüllung 12, findet Aufnahme im Schachtelteil 17. Dieser ist bei dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel als (Hart-)Becher ausgebildet, wobei die Stirnseite 13 vollständig frei ist. Die Zigarettengruppe 11 mit Innenumhüllung 12 ragt geringfügig aus dem Becher bzw. dem Schachtelteil 17 heraus. Die übrigen Flächen des Schachtelteils 17 sind geschlossen.The pack content, namely the cigarette group 11 with the inner wrapping 12, is accommodated in the box part 17. In the present exemplary embodiment, this is designed as a (hard) cup, the end face 13 being completely free. The cigarette group 11 with the inner wrapping 12 protrudes slightly from the cup or the box part 17. The remaining surfaces of the box part 17 are closed.

Dementsprechend besteht ein Schachtelteil-Zuschnitt 19 aus miteinander verbundenen Bereichen zur Bildung einer Vorderwand 20, einer gegenüberliegenden Rückwand 21 und einer dazwischen angeordneten Bodenwand 22. An den Längsseiten der rechteckigen Vorderwand 20 sind (äußere) Seitenlappen 23 und an den Längsseiten der Rückwand 21 entsprechende (innere) Seitenlappen 24 angeordnet. Diese werden zur Bildung von Schachtelseitenwänden übereinanderliegend gefaltet und durch Klebung miteinander verbunden. Mit den Seitenlappen 23 verbundene Bodenecklappen 26 werden gegen die Innenseite der Bodenwand 22 gefaltet.Accordingly, a box part blank 19 consists of interconnected areas for forming a front wall 20, an opposite rear wall 21 and a bottom wall 22 arranged therebetween. On the long sides of the rectangular front wall 20 there are (outer) side tabs 23 and on the long sides of the rear wall 21 corresponding ( inner) side tabs 24 arranged. These are folded one above the other to form box side walls and connected to one another by adhesive. Bottom corner flaps 26 connected to the side tabs 23 are folded against the inside of the bottom wall 22.

Im Bereich einer durch Aufreißen der Innenumhüllung 12 an der Stirnseite 13 zu schaffenden Entnahmeöffnung befindet sich eine Entnahmehilfe in Gestalt einer zum oberen, freien Rand des Schachtelteils 17 bzw. der Vorderwand 20 und der Rückwand 21 offenen Ausnehmung 27, 28. Diese durch Stanzen in dem Schachtelteil-Zuschnitt 19 angebrachten Ausnehmungen 27, 28 erleichtern die Entnahme von Zigaretten 10 mit zwei Fingern bei geöffneter Verpackung.In the area of a removal opening to be created by tearing open the inner casing 12 on the end face 13, there is a removal aid in the form of a recess 27, 28 which is open to the upper, free edge of the box part 17 or the front wall 20 and the rear wall 21 Box part blank 19, recesses 27, 28 facilitate the removal of cigarettes 10 with two fingers when the packaging is open.

Die ebenfalls aus dünnem Karton bestehende Hülse 18 umgibt den Schachtelteil 17 in Schließstellung nahezu vollständig, nämlich bis auf eine schmale, rechteckige Ausschuböffnung 29. Diese entspricht der Größe einer gegenüberliegenden Seitenwand 30 der Hülse 18. Der Querschnitt dieser Ausschuböffnung 29 ist der Querschnittsabmessung des Schachtelteils 17 angepaßt, so daß dieses über die Ausschuböffnung 29 aus der Hülse 18 heraus- und in diese zurückgeschoben werden kann.The sleeve 18, which is also made of thin cardboard, almost completely surrounds the box part 17 in the closed position, namely except for a narrow, rectangular ejection opening 29. This corresponds to the size of an opposite side wall 30 of the sleeve 18. The cross section of this ejection opening 29 is the cross-sectional dimension of the box part 17 adapted so that it can be pushed out of the sleeve 18 and pushed back into the latter via the ejection opening 29 can.

Die übrigen Seiten bzw. Flächen der Hülse 18 sind (überwiegend) geschlossen, so daß auch die Hülse 18 becherartige Gestalt hat mit seitlich gerichteter Öffnung.The remaining sides or surfaces of the sleeve 18 are (predominantly) closed, so that the sleeve 18 also has a cup-like shape with a laterally directed opening.

Dementsprechend besteht ein Hülsen-Zuschnitt 31 aus Flächenbereichen zur Bildung einer Vorderwand 32, einer gegenüberliegenden Rückwand 33 und einer dazwischen angeordneten Bodenwand 34. Zur Bildung einer Stirnwand 35 ist an der Rückwand 33 ein Decklappen 36 angebracht. Dieser wird durch Klebung oder dergleichen mit einer Verbindungslasche 37 verbunden, die am oberen, freien Rand der Vorderwand 32 gebildet ist.Accordingly, a sleeve blank 31 consists of surface areas for forming a front wall 32, an opposite rear wall 33 and a bottom wall 34 arranged therebetween. To form an end wall 35, a cover flap 36 is attached to the rear wall 33. This is connected by gluing or the like to a connecting tab 37 which is formed on the upper, free edge of the front wall 32.

Nach Faltung der vorstehend beschriebenen Wandungen und Lappen ergibt sich ein schlauchförmiges Zwischenfaltgebilde, wie in Fig. 5 dargestellt. In dieser teilweise gefalteten Ausführung der Hülse 18 kann diese flach zusammengelegt werden, wobei die Vorderwand 32 und Rückwand 33 unmittelbar aneinanderliegen, und zwar versetzt. Für die Fertigstellung der Verpackung wird die Hülse 18 in die Position gemäß Fig. 5 aufgerichtet und fertiggefaltet.After folding the walls and flaps described above, a tubular intermediate folding structure results, as shown in FIG. 5. In this partially folded embodiment of the sleeve 18, it can be folded flat, with the front wall 32 and rear wall 33 lying directly against one another, to be precise offset. For the completion of the packaging, the sleeve 18 is erected into the position shown in FIG. 5 and folded.

Dabei wird die weitgehend geschlossene Seitenwand 30 durch einander überdeckende Seitenlappen 39, 40 gebildet, die jeweils an den Längsrändern von Vorderwand 32 und Rückwand 33 angeordnet sind. Bei dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Seitenlappen 39 und 40 als Lappenabschnitte ausgebildet mit mittigen Unterbrechungen. Durch diese entsteht eine Seitenwand 30 aus zwei mit Abstand voneinander angeordneten Teil-Seitenwänden 38. Auf halber Höhe entsteht eine sich über die volle Breite der Seitenwand 38 erstreckende Öffnung, nämlich eine Betätigungsöffnung 41. Diese ermöglicht die Ausübung von Druck auf den Schachtelteil 17 in der Schließstellung zum Öffnen der Verpackung, nämlich zum Ausschieben des Schachtelteils 17 aus der Hülse 18. In der Zwischenfaltstellung gemäß Fig. 5 sind die Seitenlappen 39, 40 in der Ebene von Vorderwand 32 und Rückwand 33 gerichtet.The largely closed side wall 30 is formed by overlapping side tabs 39, 40, which are each arranged on the longitudinal edges of the front wall 32 and rear wall 33. In the present exemplary embodiment, the side tabs 39 and 40 are designed as tab sections with central interruptions. This creates a side wall 30 consisting of two spaced partial side walls 38. At half height there is an opening which extends over the full width of the side wall 38, namely an actuating opening 41. This enables pressure to be exerted on the box part 17 in FIG Closed position for opening the packaging, namely for pushing the box part 17 out of the sleeve 18. In the intermediate folding position according to FIG Side tabs 39, 40 directed in the plane of the front wall 32 and rear wall 33.

Die beschriebene Gestaltung der Verpackung ermöglicht die "Einhand-Bedienung". Die Verpackung wird dabei zwischen zwei Fingern erfaßt. Ein dritter Finger kann über die Betätigungsöffnung 41 den Schachtelteil 17 in die Öffnungsstellung bewegen. Auch die Rückbewegung desselben in die Ausgangsstellung innerhalb der Hülse 18 kann mit einer Hand bewerkstelligt werden.The described design of the packaging enables "one-handed operation". The packaging is gripped between two fingers. A third finger can move the box part 17 into the open position via the actuation opening 41. The return movement of the same into the starting position within the sleeve 18 can also be accomplished with one hand.

Schachtelteil 17 und Hülse 18 sind gegen vollständiges Herausschieben des Schachtelteils 17 gegeneinander gesichert. Zu diesem Zweck läuft der Schachtelteil 17 bei der Ausschubbewegung gegen einen Anschlag der Hülse 18.Box part 17 and sleeve 18 are secured against complete pushing out of the box part 17 against each other. For this purpose, the box part 17 runs against a stop of the sleeve 18 during the extension movement.

Bei dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel bildet eine aufrechte Randkante 42 der Hülse 18 als Begrenzung der Ausschuböffnung 29 einen Anschlag, und zwar durch einen spitzwinklig umgefalteten Anschlaglappen 43. Dieser erstreckt sich als Teil des Hülsen-Zuschnitts 31 über die volle Höhe der Hülse 18. In der Zwischenfaltstellung gemäß Fig. 5 erstreckt sich der Anschlaglappen 43 in der Ebene der Vorderwand 32 und ermöglicht so ein Zusammenlegen der Hülse 18 in eine flache Position. Beim Fertigstellen der Hülse 18 in aufgefalteter Stellung wird der Anschlaglappen 43 nach innen gefaltet, nämlich gegen die Vorderwand 32. Dadurch gelangt der Anschlaglappen 43 automatisch in eine spitzwinklige Stellung, in der die Funktion als Anschlag sich unmittelbar ergibt. Bei dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Randkanten 42 zu beiden Seilen der Ausschuböffnung 29 mit einem Anschlaglappen 43, 44 versehen, so daß zwei Anschläge gebildet sind.In the present exemplary embodiment, an upright edge 42 of the sleeve 18 forms a stop as a limitation of the ejection opening 29, namely by means of a stop flap 43 folded over at an acute angle. This extends as part of the sleeve blank 31 over the full height of the sleeve 18. In the intermediate folding position 5, the stop tab 43 extends in the plane of the front wall 32 and thus enables the sleeve 18 to be folded into a flat position. When the sleeve 18 is finished in the unfolded position, the stop tab 43 is folded inwards, namely against the front wall 32. As a result, the stop tab 43 automatically comes to an acute-angled position in which the function as a stop is immediate. In the present exemplary embodiment, the edge edges 42 are provided on both ropes of the opening 29 with a stop tab 43, 44, so that two stops are formed.

Am Schachtelteil 17 sind Gegenanschläge gebildet - bei dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel lediglich ein Gegenanschlag -, die mit den Anschlägen (Anschlaglappen 43, 44) der Hülse 18 in Eingriff treten. Der Gegenanschlag wird hier ebenfalls durch ein Faltteil des Schachtelteil-Zuschnitts 19 gebildet. Aus der Vorderwand 20 wird eine seitlich gebildete Anschlaglasche 45 herausgefaltet. Diese ist durch eine U-förmige Stanzung 46 als Tellfläche der Vorderwand 20 ausgebildet, etwa in mittiger Höhe. Eine Falt- bzw. Schwenkachse 47 der Anschlaglasche 45 wird durch Perforationen gebildet. Diese verlaufen innerhalb einer aufrechten Faltkante 48 des Schachtelteils 17. Es handelt sich dabei um eine Faltkante 48, die innerhalb der Hülse 18 liegt, also aus dieser nicht heraustritt.Counterstops are formed on the box part 17 - in the present exemplary embodiment, only a counterstop - which engage the stops (stop tabs 43, 44) of the sleeve 18. The counterstop will here also formed by a folded part of the box part blank 19. A stop flap 45 formed laterally is folded out of the front wall 20. This is formed by a U-shaped stamping 46 as a tell surface of the front wall 20, approximately in the middle. A fold or pivot axis 47 of the stop tab 45 is formed by perforations. These run within an upright folded edge 48 of the box part 17. It is a folded edge 48 which lies within the sleeve 18, that is to say does not emerge from it.

Die beschriebene Anordnung der Anschlaglasche 45 hat den überraschenden Vorteil, daß beim Falten des Schachtelteils 17, nämlich beim Falten der Seitenlappen 23, die Anschlaglasche 45 selbsttätig aus der Ebene der Vorderwand 20 heraustritt und in eine spitzwinklige Relativstellung gelangt, wie in Fig. 4 gezeigt. Dies ergibt sich aus der Materialspannung, die innerhalb der Schwenkachse 47 der Anschlaglasche 45 zurückbleibt.The described arrangement of the stop tab 45 has the surprising advantage that when the box part 17 is folded, namely when the side tabs 23 are folded, the stop tab 45 automatically emerges from the plane of the front wall 20 and reaches an acute-angled relative position, as shown in FIG. 4. This results from the material tension that remains within the pivot axis 47 of the stop plate 45.

Eine entsprechend ausgebildete Anschlaglasche kann zusätzlich oder alternativ im Bereich der Rückwand 21 gebildet sein.A correspondingly designed stop tab can additionally or alternatively be formed in the area of the rear wall 21.

Die aus spitzwinklig gerichteten Zuschnitteilen bzw. Faltlappen gebildeten Anschläge und Gegenanschläge haben gegensinnige Richtung, so daß beim Ausschieben des Schachtelteils 17 aus der Hülse 18 ein stabiler, unüberwindbarer wechselseitiger Eingriff zuverlässig entsteht. Der in das Innere der Hülse 18 gerichtete Anschlaglappen 43 nimmt einen freien Rand der entgegengesetzt gerichteten Anschlaglasche 45 des Schachtelteils 17 auf (Fig. 4). Durch die Anordnung dieser Anschlagorgane innerhalb des engen Zwischenraums zwischen Schachtelteil 17 und Hülse 18 ist auch eine Verformung im Sinne eines Umfaltens von Anschlaglappen 43 oder Anschlaglasche 45 ausgeschlossen. Anschlag und Gegenanschlag treten wie Widerhaken miteinander in Eingriff.The stops and counter-stops formed from acute-angled blank parts or folding tabs have opposite directions, so that when the box part 17 is pushed out of the sleeve 18, a stable, insurmountable mutual engagement is reliably produced. The stop tab 43 directed into the interior of the sleeve 18 receives a free edge of the oppositely directed stop tab 45 of the box part 17 (FIG. 4). The arrangement of these stop members within the narrow space between box part 17 and sleeve 18 also prevents deformation in the sense of folding stop tabs 43 or stop tab 45. The stop and counter-stop engage with each other like barbs.

Beim Zurückführen des Schachtelteils 17 in die Hülse 18 treten die Anschläge (Anschlaglappen 43 und Anschlaglasche 45) aus dem formschlüssigen Eingriff heraus. Die betreffenden Anschläge bleiben jedoch stets in der Anschlagfunktion aufgrund der Materialspannung und der räumlichen Gegebenheiten.When the box part 17 is returned into the sleeve 18, the stops (stop tab 43 and stop tab 45) emerge from the positive engagement. However, the stops in question always remain in the stop function due to the material tension and the spatial conditions.

Die Innenumhüllung 12 aus reißfähigem Material, insbesondere Stanniol, ist hier in besonderer Weise ausgebildet, und zwar unter Anpassung an den Schachtelteil 17, so daß eine einfache Handhabung bei Ingebrauchnahme der Verpackung möglich ist.The inner wrapping 12 made of tearable material, in particular tinfoil, is designed here in a special way, and in particular with adaptation to the box part 17, so that simple handling is possible when the packaging is put into use.

Die Innenumhüllung 12 ist mit einer Öffnungshilfe versehen in Gestalt einer abziehbaren Abreißlasche 16. Diese ist in der Innenumhüllung 12 durch Schwächungslinien, nämlich durch Perforationslinien 50, 51 definiert. Die so gebildete, kappenförmige Abreißlasche 16 befindet sich an der Oberseite der Innenumhüllung 12, und zwar an der beim Ausschieben des Schachtelteils 17 aus der Hülse 18 freien Seite im Bereich von oberen, randseitigen Packungsecken. Des weiteren ist die Aufreißlasche 16 im Bereich der Ausnehmungen 27, 28 des Schachtelteils 17 gebildet, so daß die Aufreißlasche 16 bei Ingebrauchnahme der Packung in einer Position gemäß Fig. 1 leicht erfaßt werden kann.The inner casing 12 is provided with an opening aid in the form of a removable tear-off tab 16. This is defined in the inner casing 12 by lines of weakness, namely perforation lines 50, 51. The cap-shaped tear-off tab 16 formed in this way is located on the upper side of the inner casing 12, specifically on the side free when the box part 17 is pushed out of the sleeve 18 in the region of the upper, corner-side packing corners. Furthermore, the tear tab 16 is formed in the region of the recesses 27, 28 of the box part 17, so that the tear tab 16 can be easily grasped in a position according to FIG. 1 when the pack is put into use.

Bei dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel besteht die Innenumhüllung 12 aus einem langgestreckten, rechteckigen Zuschnitt (Fig. 9). Dieser wird in bekannter Weise über eine Bodenwand 52, also von unten her, um die Zigarettengruppe 11 U-förmig gefaltet. Dadurch entstehen Seitenlappen 53, 54, die im Bereich einer Seitenwand mit teilweiser Überdeckung gefaltet sind (Fig. 8). Auch im Bereich der Stirnseite 13 sind Stirnlappen 14, 15 mit teilweiser Überdeckung gefaltet, und zwar in kuvertartiger Gestalt.In the present exemplary embodiment, the inner covering 12 consists of an elongated, rectangular blank (FIG. 9). This is folded in a known manner over a bottom wall 52, ie from below, around the cigarette group 11 in a U-shape. This results in side tabs 53, 54 which are folded with a partial overlap in the region of a side wall (FIG. 8). Also in the area of the end face 13, end flaps 14, 15 are folded with partial overlap, in an envelope-like shape.

Bei dieser (bekannten) Ausführung und Anordnung der Innenumhüllung 12 ergibt sich eine "übereck" abziehbare, kappenförmige Abreißlasche 16 durch zwei miteinander korrespondierende bzw. einander ergänzende Teillaschen 55, 56 an im Bereich des Zuschnitts (Fig. 9) voneinander entfernten Eckbereichen. Diese ergänzen einander bei der Bildung der Innenumhüllung 12, so daß durch Abziehen der beiden Teillaschen 55, 56 ein randseitiger Eckbereich des Packungsinhalts freiliegt. Sinnvollerweise wird dabei zuerst die eine Teillasche 55 und sodann die andere Teillasche 56 abgezogen. Die Teillaschen 55, 56 sind im Bereich des Zuschnitts jeweils durch die beiden Perforationslinien 50, 51 von im vorliegenden Falle gleicher Länge unter einem rechten Winkel zueinander begrenzt.In this (known) design and arrangement of the inner sheath 12, a cap-like tear-off tab 16 which can be pulled off "by corner" results from two mutually corresponding or complementary partial tabs 55, 56 at corner regions spaced apart from one another in the region of the cut (FIG. 9). These complement each other in the formation of the inner wrapper 12, so that an edge-side corner region of the package contents is exposed by pulling off the two partial flaps 55, 56. It makes sense to first pull off one partial tab 55 and then the other partial tab 56. The partial flaps 55, 56 are delimited in the region of the cut by the two perforation lines 50, 51 of the same length in the present case at a right angle to one another.
