    Die in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele von Weichpackungen für Zigaretten betreffen zwei hinsichtlich des Grundaufbaus unterschiedliche Typen. Die Ausführungsformen gemäß Fig. 1 bis Fig. 9 sind typische Weichbecherpackungen aus mehreren bzw. zwei Zuschnitten. Fig. 11 bis Fig. 14 zeigen Einzelheiten einer Weichpackung aus lediglich einem Zuschnitt des Verpackungsmaterials.The embodiments shown in the drawings of soft packs for cigarettes concern two in terms different types of basic structure. The embodiments 1 to 9 are typical soft cup packs from several or two blanks. Fig. 11 14 to 14 show details of a soft pack just a cut of the packaging material.

    Eine typische Weichbecherpackung besteht aus einem äußeren, becherförmigen Behälter 10 und einer in einen Innenzuschnitt 11 eingehüllten Zigaretten-Gruppe 31 zur Bildung eines quaderförmigen Zigaretten-Blocks 12 als Packungsinhalt. Der Zigaretten-Block 12 ragt geringfügig oben, also an der offenen Seite, aus dem Behälter 10 heraus. In diesem Bereich ist üblicherweise eine Banderole 13 angebracht, die sich quer über eine Stirnwand 14 des Zigaretten-Blocks 12 bis in den Bereich einer angrenzenden Vorderwand 15 und Rückwand 16 des Behälters 10 erstreckt. A typical soft cup pack consists of an outer, cup-shaped container 10 and one in an inner blank 11 wrapped cigarette group 31 for education a cuboid block of cigarettes 12 as the contents of the pack. The cigarette block 12 protrudes slightly above, that is on the open side, out of the container 10. In this A band 13 is usually attached to the area extending across an end wall 14 of the cigarette block 12 to the area of an adjacent front wall 15 and Rear wall 16 of the container 10 extends.

    Der Innenzuschnitt 11 umgibt die Zigaretten-Gruppe 31 vollständig. Der Innenzuschnitt 11 ist so ausgebildet, daß die Stirnwand 14 des Zigaretten-Blocks 12 aus Faltlappen gebildet ist, und zwar als Kuvert-Faltung. Der Innenzuschnitt 11 besteht aus Papier oder Stanniol.The inner blank 11 completely surrounds the cigarette group 31. The inner blank 11 is designed so that the End wall 14 of the cigarette block 12 is formed from folding flaps as an envelope fold. The inner blank 11 consists of paper or tin foil.

    Der becherförmige Behälter 10 besteht aus einem einstückigen Becher-Zuschnitt. Dieser definiert die großflächige Vorderwand 15 und die entsprechende Rückwand 16, schmale, aufrechte Seitenwände 18, 19 und eine durch Faltung gebildete Bodenwand 20.The cup-shaped container 10 consists of one piece Cup cutting. This defines the large area Front wall 15 and the corresponding rear wall 16, narrow, upright side walls 18, 19 and one formed by folding Bottom wall 20.

    Zur Erhöhung der Formstabilität einer derartigen Weichbecherpackung sind im Bereich der Bodenwand 20 Materialverstärkungen vorgesehen. Diese bestehen bei den gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen unmittelbar aus Teilen eines Becher-Zuschnitts 21, 22. Ein die Bodenwand 20 und ggf. angrenzende Bereiche bildender Teil der Becher-Zuschnitte 21, 22 ist zwei- oder mehrlagig ausgebildet, wodurch die erhöhte Steifigkeit des Materials gegeben ist.To increase the dimensional stability of such a soft cup pack are 20 material reinforcements in the area of the bottom wall intended. These exist in the shown Exemplary embodiments directly from parts of a cup blank 21, 22. A the bottom wall 20 and possibly adjacent Areas forming part of the cup blanks 21, 22 formed in two or more layers, which increases the Stiffness of the material is given.

    Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 2 und Fig. 3 der Packungen ist eine Materialverstärkung lediglich im Bereich der Bodenwand 20 selbst gegeben. Alle die Bodenwand 20 bildenden Faltlappen, nämlich trapezförmige, einander teilweise überdeckende Längslappen 23 und 24 sowie an die schmalen Seitenwände 18, 19 anschließende Ecklappen 25, 26 bestehen aus zwei Lagen bzw. zwei Wandungen des Becher-Zuschnitts 21, insbesondere aus (dickerem) Papier. Die Bodenwand 20 hat dadurch eine deutlich höhere Steifigkeit als bei einlagiger Ausbildung.In the embodiment according to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 the Packing is a material reinforcement only in the area given the bottom wall 20 itself. All the bottom wall 20 forming folding flaps, namely trapezoidal, partially mutually overlapping longitudinal tabs 23 and 24 and to the narrow side walls 18, 19 adjoining corner tabs 25, 26 consist of two layers or two walls of the cup blank 21, in particular from (thicker) paper. The bottom wall 20 therefore has a significantly higher rigidity than with single-layer training.

    Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 4 und Fig. 5 ist eine weitere Erhöhung der Formstabilität im Bereich der Bodenwand 20 durch doppellagige Ausbildung des Becher-Zuschnitts 22 auch im (unteren) Bereich von Vorderwand 15, Rückwand 16 sowie Seitenwänden 18 und 19 gegeben. Die Versteifung des Behälters 10 ist hier also dreidimensional ausgebildet.4 and FIG. 5 a further increase in dimensional stability in the area of Bottom wall 20 by double-layer design of the cup blank 22 also in the (lower) area of front wall 15, Rear wall 16 and side walls 18 and 19 given. The stiffening of the container 10 is therefore three-dimensional here educated.

    Die becherförmigen Behälter 10 werden aus rechteckigen Becher-Zuschnitten 21, 22 gefertigt, die von einer fortlaufenden Materialbahn 27, 28 abtrennbar sind. Ein in Längsrichtung verlaufender Randstreifen 29, 30 der Materialbahn 27, 28 dient zur Herstellung der Bodenwand 20 der abgetrennten Becher-Zuschnitte 21, 22. Die Materialverstärkung wird bereits an der Materialbahn 27, 28 hergestellt. Diese hat zu diesem Zweck eine größere Ausgangsbreite als die der Becher-Zuschnitte 21, 22. Der in Längsrichtung der Materialbahn 27, 28 verlaufende Randstreifen 29, 30 wird umgefaltet bis zur Anlage an der Innenseite der Materialbahn. Der von der so ausgebildeten Materialbahn 27, 28 abgetrente Becher-Zuschnitt 21, 22 ist unmittelbar für den Faltprozeß vorbereitet.The cup-shaped container 10 are made of rectangular Cup blanks 21, 22 made by a continuous Material web 27, 28 are separable. One lengthways running edge strips 29, 30 of the material web 27, 28 is used to produce the bottom wall 20 of the separated Cup blanks 21, 22. The material reinforcement is already produced on the material web 27, 28. This has for this purpose a larger starting width than that of Cup blanks 21, 22. The in the longitudinal direction of the material web 27, 28 extending edge strips 29, 30 is folded over to the plant on the inside of the material web. The of the material web 27, 28 thus formed Cup blank 21, 22 is directly for the folding process prepared.

    Die Materialverstärkung, nämlich der Randstreifen 29, 30, kann durch vorzugsweise vollflächige Klebung mit dem übrigen Teil des Becher-Zuschnitts 21, 22 verbunden sein. Dadurch ergibt sich eine zusätzliche Steifigkeit. Bei mehrschichtigen Folien für die Herstellung des becherförmigen Behälters 10 kann der Randstreifen 29, 30 auch durch thermisches Siegeln einer Kunststoffschicht fixiert sein.The material reinforcement, namely the edge strips 29, 30, can by preferably full-surface gluing with the remaining part of the cup blank 21, 22 may be connected. This results in additional rigidity. With multilayered Films for the production of the cup-shaped Container 10, the edge strip 29, 30 also through thermal sealing of a plastic layer to be fixed.

    Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 6 und 7 entspricht der Randstreifen 29 hinsichtlich der Breite einem Streifen der Materialbahn 27 für die Herstellung der Bodenwand 20. Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 8 und 9 geht es um die Fertigung von Becher-Zuschnitten 21, 22 für eine Verpackung gemäß Fig. 4 und 5. Der Randstreifen 30 hat hier eine größere Breite und erstreckt sich in den Bereich der angrenzenden aufrechten Packungswandungen unter Bildung eines Verstärkungsstreifens 32 im Bereich derselben.6 and 7 corresponds to the embodiment the edge strip 29 a strip in terms of width the material web 27 for the production of the bottom wall 20. 8 and 9 are concerned the production of cup blanks 21, 22 for packaging 4 and 5. The edge strip 30 has here a larger width and extends into the area of adjacent upright pack walls with formation a reinforcing strip 32 in the area of the same.

    Für eine weitere Erhöhung der Formstabilität der Verpackung im Bereich der Bodenwand kann zusätzlich auch der Innenzuschnitt 11 im Bereich der Bodenwand 20 doppel- oder mehrlagig ausgebildet sein.For a further increase in the dimensional stability of the packaging in the area of the bottom wall can additionally also the inner blank 11 in the area of the bottom wall 20 be designed in two or more layers.

    Das Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 11 bis Fig. 14 zeigt Einzelheiten einer modifizierten Weichbecherpackung aus einem einzigen Zuschnitt 17 aus Papier, Folie oder anderem dünnen Verpackungsmaterial. Die Bodenwand 20 dieser Verpackung ist in gleicher Weise ausgebildet wie die des Ausführungsbeispiels der Fig. 4 und Fig. 5. Der Randstreifen 30 des Zuschnitts 17 ist im Bereich der Bodenwand 20 so dimensioniert, daß sich Verstärkungsstreifen als Randbereiche des Randstreifens 30 an der Innenseite von Vorderwand 15, Rückwand 16 und Seitenwänden 18, 19 erstrecken.The exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 11 to 14 shows Details of a modified soft cup pack a single blank 17 made of paper, foil or other thin packaging material.

    Ein oberer, stirnseitiger Bereich des Zuschnitts 17 ist bei diesem Beispiel ebenfalls mit einer ringsherumlaufenden Verstärkung 33 versehen. Diese ist hier durch mehrlagige Ausbildung des Zuschnitts 17, nämlich durch eine Z-förmige Faltung - Z-Faltung 34 - erzeugt. Faltschenkel der Z-Faltung 34 liegen an der Innenseite des Zuschnitts 17. Dadurch wird eine ringsherumlaufende, obere, außenliegende Faltkante 35 geschaffen. An einem inneren Faltschenkel 36 der Z-faltung 34 schließen im Bereich der Stirnwand 14 liegende Faltlappen 37, 38 an. Der Faltschenkel 34 ragt geringfügig über die Faltkante 35 hinweg.

On an inner folding leg 36 of the Z fold 34 close in the region of the end wall 14 Folding flaps 37, 38. The folding leg 34 protrudes slightly over the folded edge 35. This creates an outside Exposed viewing strip 39 of the folding leg 36. The Viewing strips 39 and the subsequent folding tabs 37, 38 are expediently in color or in relation to others Surface designs of the blank 17 for the rest discontinued. In particular, viewing strips 39 and folding tabs 37, 38 be silver-colored, so that the impression arises, the cigarette group 31 is by one separate inner blank wrapped, as in the embodiments 1 to 9.

    Eine Materialbahn 40 zum Herstellen von Zuschnitten 17 für Verpackungen gemäß Fig. 10 weist zwei in Längsrichtung der Materialbahn 40 verlaufende streifenförmige Materialverstärkungen auf, nämlich Faltungen. Es handelt sich dabei zum einen um den Randstreifen 30 und zum anderen um die fertige, durchlaufende Z-Faltung 34.A material web 40 for producing blanks 17 for 10 has two in the longitudinal direction of the Material web 40 extending strip-shaped material reinforcements on, namely folds. These are on the one hand around the edge strip 30 and on the other hand around the finished, continuous Z-fold 34.

    Die Gestaltung der Verpackung mit einer Verstärkung am oberen stirnseitigen Rand des Behälters 10, insbesondere durch Z-Faltung 34, kann auch bei Ausführungen gemäß Fig. 1 bis 9 zur Anwendung kommen, also mit einer zusätzlichen Innenumhüllung aus einem Innenzuschnitt 11.The design of the packaging with a reinforcement on upper front edge of the container 10, in particular by Z-folding 34, can also be carried out in the embodiment according to FIG. 1 to 9 are used, i.e. with an additional one Inner covering from an inner blank 11.
