The cover tab is located in the region of the bottom side(18) of the packet on its inner side. The cover tab is part of the blank, especially an enlarged bottom corner tab(21), which forms the tab on the bottom inner side and is preferably complementary to an opposite lying corner tab(22).

Description

Packung für Zigaretten Pack of cigarettes
Beschreibungdescription
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Packung für Tabakerzeugnisse, insbesondere Zigaretten, aus wenigstens einem den Packungsinhalt umgebenden Zuschnitt aus faltbarem Verpackungsmaterial, wie Papier, Karton oder dergleichen, wobei Faltlappen des Zuschnitts, insbesondere Boden-Faltlappen, einander (teilweise) überdecken und durch Leim miteinander verbunden sind und weiterhin benachbart zu einer (oberen) Stirnwand und/oder benachbart zu einer (unteren) Bodenwand eine Z-Faltung des Zuschnitts gebildet ist.The invention relates to a pack for tobacco products, in particular cigarettes, made of at least one blank of foldable packaging material, such as paper, cardboard or the like, surrounding the pack contents, folding flaps of the blank, in particular bottom-folding flaps, covering one another (in part) and being connected to one another by glue and a Z-fold of the blank is also formed adjacent to an (upper) end wall and / or adjacent to a (lower) bottom wall.
Im Vordergrund der Erfindung stehen Zigarettenpackungen des Typs Weichbecher in einer modifizierten Ausführung, nämlich vorzugsweise aus einem einzigen Zuschnitt aus Papier oder vergleichbaren Verpackungsmaterial. Zur Erhöhung der Formstabilität einer derartigen Packung ist diese mindestens in einem Be- reich benachbart zu einer Stirnwand mit einer ringsherumlaufenden Mehrfachfaltung versehen, nämlich insbesondere einer Z-Faltung (US 4 508 218). Weiterhin kann eine derartige Zigarettenpackung im Bereich einer Bodenwand mit Material Verstärkungen versehen sein, nämlich einem doppel 1 agigen Materi al strei fen, aus dem entsprechend doppellagige Boden-Faltlappen der Bodenwand gebildet sind (US 5 762 186).In the foreground of the invention are cigarette packs of the soft cup type in a modified version, namely preferably from a single blank of paper or comparable packaging material. In order to increase the dimensional stability of a pack of this type, it is provided at least in a region adjacent to an end wall with a multiple fold running all around, namely in particular a Z fold (US Pat. No. 4,508,218). Furthermore, such a cigarette pack in the area of a bottom wall can be provided with material reinforcements, namely a double-layer material, from which correspondingly double-layer bottom folding flaps of the bottom wall are formed (US Pat. No. 5,762,186).
Die Erfindung befaßt sich mit Verbesserungen insbesondere an Zigarettenpackungen der vorgenannten Ausführungen.The invention is concerned with improvements in particular to cigarette packs of the aforementioned designs.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, Packungen der vorgenannten und ähnlicher Ausführung so auszugestalten, daß eine Verbesserung des äußeren Erscheinungsbildes und eine verbesserte Qualitätssicherung für den Packungsinhalt gewährleistet sind.The invention has for its object to design packs of the aforementioned and similar design so that an improvement in the external appearance and an improved quality assurance for the pack contents are guaranteed.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist die erfindungsgemäße Packung dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß zwischen den durch Leim miteinander verbundenen Faltlappen einerseits und dem Packungsinhalt ande- rerseits ein Abdecklappen angeordnet ist gegen die Übertragung von Leim auf den Packungsinhalt.To achieve this object, the pack according to the invention is characterized in that, on the one hand, between the folding tabs connected by glue and the pack content, on the other hand, a cover flap is arranged against the transfer of glue to the package contents.
Der Erfindung liegt die Erkenntnis zugrunde, daß die Beleimung von Faltlappen der Packung, insbesondere die Beleimung von Bo- den-Fal tlappen einer Bodenwand, die Gefahr in sich birgt, daß Leimpartikel auf den Packungsinhalt übertragen werden, insbesondere auf Endbereiche der zur Bodenwand der Packung benachbarten Zigaretten. Der erfindungsgemäße Abdecklappen schützt die Endflächen der Zigaretten gegen Leimübertragung.The invention is based on the knowledge that the gluing of folding tabs of the pack, in particular the gluing of bottom-folding tabs of a bottom wall, entails the risk that glue particles are transferred to the contents of the pack, in particular to end regions of the bottom wall of the pack neighboring cigarettes. The cover flap according to the invention protects the end faces of the cigarettes against glue transfer.
Zweckmäßigerweise ist der Abdecklappen im Bereich der Bodenwand Teil des Zuschnitts, also mit diesem verbunden, und zwar vorzugsweise als Verlängerung bzw. Ergänzung oder Ansatz eines üblicherweise innenseitig positionierten Boden-Ecklappens. Dieser ist eine Fortsetzung einer der schmalen, aufrechten Seitenwände der Packung.The cover flap is expediently part of the cut in the region of the base wall, that is to say connected to it, preferably as an extension or addition or extension of a base corner flap which is usually positioned on the inside. This is a continuation of one of the narrow, upright side walls of the pack.
Bei einer Packung analog zu US 5 762 186 wird erfindungsgemäß so vorgegangen, daß der Abdecklappen Teil des doppel 1 agigen Materialstreifens im Bereich der Bodenwand ist, jedoch nicht an der Verstärkung der Packung in diesem Bereich teilnimmt. Vielmehr wird durch entsprechende Stanzschnitte ein Boden-Ecklappen geschaffen, dessen Länge der Breite des doppellagig zu falten- den Material strei fens entspricht. Bei der fertigen Packung liegt dieser verlängerte Boden-Ecklappen an der Innenseite der Bodenwand an und bildet den Abdecklappen.In the case of a package analogous to US Pat. No. 5,762,186, the procedure according to the invention is such that the cover flap is part of the double-layered material strip in the region of the bottom wall, but does not participate in the reinforcement of the package in this region. Rather, a floor corner flap is created by means of corresponding die cuts, the length of which corresponds to the width of the double-layer material strip. In the finished pack, this extended floor corner flap lies against the inside of the floor wall and forms the cover flap.
Bei einer insbesondere benachbart zur Stirnwand gebildeten Z- Faltung kann im Bereich einer Überlappung von Seitenlappen zur Bildung einer Seitenwand wegen Überdeckung eine Mehrzahl von Lagen entstehen. Erfindungsgemäß ist im Bereich der Z-Faltung bzw. der Überdeckung derselben mindestens im Bereich einer der Lagen eine Ausnehmung vorgesehen, die eine örtliche, randsei- tige Lagenreduzierung schafft. Zweckmäßigerweise ist in diesem Bereich eine Verbindung der Lagen durch Leim vorgesehen, so daß eine korrekte Ausbildung der Packung gewährleistet ist. Weitere Einzelheiten über die Ausgestaltung und Fertigung derartiger (Zigaretten-) Packungen werden nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnungen erläutert. Es zeigt:In the case of a Z-fold formed in particular adjacent to the end wall, a plurality of layers can arise in the region of an overlap of side tabs to form a side wall due to overlap. According to the invention, a recess is provided in the area of the Z-fold or the overlap thereof, at least in the area of one of the layers, which creates a local, edge-side layer reduction. A connection of the layers by means of glue is expediently provided in this area, so that a correct formation of the pack is ensured. Further details on the design and manufacture of such (cigarette) packs are explained below with reference to the drawings. It shows:

Der äußere, am freien Rand gebildete Teilstreifen 26 ist entlang einer Faltlinie 27 zur Bildung des doppel 1 agigen Faltstreifens 24 umgefaltet. Aus dem doppel 1 agigen Faltstreifen 24 werden die beschriebenen Bodenlappen gebildet.A bottom-side region of the blank or of the pack, namely a folding strip 24, is double-agile. The folding strip 24 consists of two partial strips 25, 26. The outer partial strip 26 formed at the free edge is folded over along a folding line 27 to form the double-layer folding strip 24. The floor tabs described are formed from the double 1-fold folding strip 24.
An der Innenseite der Bodenwand 18 ist ein Abdecklappen gebildet, und zwar zwischen der Bodenwand 18 und dem Packungsinhalt. Der Abdecklappen schützt den Packungsinhalt vor Übertragung von Leimpartikeln bei der Verklebung von Boden-Faltlappen. Der Abdecklappen wird bei dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel durch einen Bodenlappen gebildet, und zwar durch den mit der Seitenwand 12 verbundenen Boden-Ecklappen 21. Der Boden-Ecklappen 21 ist zu diesem Zweck nicht doppellagig ausgebildet. Viel - mehr bleibt der Boden-Ecklappen 21 in der durch die Breite des Faltstreifens 24 vorgegebene Länge, ist also im wesentlichen doppelt so lang wie der Boden-Ecklappen 22. Der Zuschnitt ist hierfür durch Stanzlinien 28, 29 vorbereitet. Diese erstrecken sich an den seitlichen Begrenzungen des Boden-Ecklappens 21, und zwar im Bereich des Faltstreifens 24, also bis zur Faltlinie 27. Dadurch können die Bereiche des Tei 1 strei fens 26 zur Bildung der Boden-Längslappen 19, 20 und der Boden-Ecklappen 22 umgefaltet werden, während der Boden-Ecklappen 21 ungefaltet bleibt und dadurch eine entsprechend größere Länge aufweist. Bei dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ergibt sich eine zusätzliche Länge durch einen an der freien Seite des Faltstreifens 24 angebrachten Randstreifen 30. Dieser erstreckt sich bei der fertigen Packung als innenseitige Verstärkung im Bereich von Vorderwand 10, Rückwand 11 und Seitenwänden 12, 13 (Fig. 2. ) .A cover flap is formed on the inside of the bottom wall 18, specifically between the bottom wall 18 and the contents of the pack. The cover flap protects the contents of the package against the transfer of glue particles when gluing floor folding flaps. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the cover flap is formed by a bottom flap, specifically by the bottom corner flap 21 connected to the side wall 12. The bottom corner flap 21 is not double-layered for this purpose. Rather - the bottom corner flap 21 remains in the length predetermined by the width of the folding strip 24, that is to say essentially twice as long as the bottom corner flap 22. The blank is prepared for this by punching lines 28, 29. These extend at the lateral boundaries of the bottom corner flap 21, specifically in the area of the folding strip 24, that is to the fold line 27. This allows the areas of part 1 stri fens 26 to form the bottom longitudinal tabs 19, 20 and the bottom Corner flaps 22 are folded over, while the bottom corner flap 21 remains unfolded and therefore has a correspondingly greater length. In the present exemplary embodiment, an additional length results from an edge strip 30 attached to the free side of the folding strip 24. In the finished pack, this extends as an inside reinforcement in the region of the front wall 10, rear wall 11 and side walls 12, 13 (FIG. 2. ).
Der entsprechend in Längsrichtung der Seitenwand 12 bemessene Boden-Ecklappen 21 erstreckt sich entlang der Bodenwand 18 innenseitig bis zum gegenüberliegenden Boden-Ecklappen 22 bzw. über diesen hinweg (Fig. 2, Fig. 3). Der Packungsinhalt ist demnach vollflächig durch die Boden-Ecklappen 21, 22 abgedeckt gegenüber den außen anliegenden Boden-Längslappen 19, 20. Diese werden in einer zu der Stirnwand 17 analogen Weise gefaltet und miteinander verbunden. Die Beleimung der Boden-Faltlappen, näm- lieh der Boden-Längslappen 19, 20, erfolgt zweckmäßigerweise in einer Stellung entsprechend Fig. 2 und Fig. 3. Der Packungsinhalt, nämlich die zugekehrten Enden der Zigaretten, sind dabei durchgehend abgedeckt, nämlich durch den einlagigen Boden-Ecklappen 21 einerseits und durch den anschließenden Boden-Eckl ap- pen 22 andererseits. Eine andere Besonderheit der Erfindung bezieht sich ebenfalls auf die Gestaltung der Packung im Bereich mehrlagiger Ausbildung des Zuschnitts. Bei dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel geht es um einen benachbart zur Stirnwand 17 bzw. unmittelbar unterhalb derselben ringsherumlaufenden mehrlagigen Materialstreifen 31. Dieser ist als Z-Faltung ausgebildet.The bottom corner flap 21, which is dimensioned accordingly in the longitudinal direction of the side wall 12, extends along the inside of the bottom wall 18 to the opposite bottom corner tab 22 or beyond it (FIG. 2, FIG. 3). The contents of the pack are accordingly covered over the entire area by the bottom corner flaps 21, 22 compared to the longitudinal bottom tabs 19, 20 lying on the outside. These are folded in a manner analogous to the end wall 17 and connected to one another. The gluing of the bottom folding tabs, namely the bottom longitudinal tabs 19, 20, is expediently carried out in a position corresponding to FIGS. 2 and 3. The contents of the pack, namely the facing ends of the cigarettes, are covered throughout, namely by the single-layer floor corner flaps 21 on the one hand and through the adjoining floor corner flaps 22 on the other hand. Another special feature of the invention also relates to the design of the pack in the area of the multilayered design of the blank. The present exemplary embodiment is concerned with a multilayer material strip 31 running around the end wall 17 or immediately below it, which is designed as a Z-fold.
Der Zuschnitt (Fig. 7) ist zu diesem Zweck in einem stirnseitigen Bereich mit einem Faltstreifen 32 versehen, der zur Bildung von Stirn-Faltlappen dient, analog zur Ausgestaltung der Bodenwand 18. Es handelt sich demnach um die Bildung von Stirn- Längslappen 33, 34 sowie den schmaleren Stirn-Ecklappen 35 und 36. Der Stirn-Ecklappen 36 ist teilweise doppellagig ausgebildet, nämlich analog zur Seitenwand 13.For this purpose, the blank (FIG. 7) is provided in a front area with a folding strip 32, which is used to form front end flaps, analogous to the design of the bottom wall 18. Accordingly, the front end flaps 33 are formed, 34 and the narrower front corner flaps 35 and 36. The front corner flap 36 is partially double-layered, namely analogous to the side wall 13.
Zwischen dem Faltstreifen 32 und dem Bereich mit Vorderwand 10, Rückwand 11 etc. ist ein zusätzlicher Materi al strei fen gebildet, nämlich ein Z-Fal tstrei fen 37. Dieser besteht aus zwei Tei 1 streifen, nämlich für Schenkel 38, 39 der Z-Faltung. Die streifenförmigen Schenkel 38, 39 sind voneinander durch eine Z- Faltkante 40 sowie von dem Faltstreifen 32 durch eine Faltkante 41 und von Vorderwand 10, Rückwand 11 etc. durch eine weitere Faltkante 42 abgegrenzt. Diese bilden jeweils Umlenkkanten des Materials bei der fertigen Z-Faltung (Fig. 5).Between the folding strip 32 and the area with front wall 10, rear wall 11, etc., an additional material strip is formed, namely a Z-folding strip 37. This consists of two partial strips, namely for legs 38, 39 of the Z strip. Folding. The strip-shaped legs 38, 39 are delimited from one another by a Z-fold edge 40 and from the fold strip 32 by a fold edge 41 and from the front wall 10, rear wall 11 etc. by a further fold edge 42. These each form deflection edges of the material in the finished Z-fold (FIG. 5).
Im Bereich der Seitenwand 13 ergibt sich durch die Gestaltung des Material Streifens 31 eine Anhäufung von Material 1 agen (Fig. 6). Dies kann zu einer unerwünschten Öffnung der Faltung in diesem Bereich führen. Um dieser Erscheinung entgegenzutreten, sind in dem Überlappungsbereich Materiallagen beseitigt, so daß die Gesamtanzahl der einander überdeckenden Lagen örtlich reduziert ist. Zu diesem Zweck sind vorzugsweise innenliegende, also nach außen abgedeckte Lagen, mit Ausnehmungen, Löchern, Ausstanzungen oder dergleichen versehen.In the area of the side wall 13, the design of the material strip 31 results in an accumulation of material 1 agen (Fig. 6). This can lead to an undesired opening of the fold in this area. In order to counteract this phenomenon, material layers are eliminated in the overlap area, so that the total number of layers overlapping one another is locally reduced. For this purpose, layers lying on the inside, that is to say covered on the outside, are preferably provided with recesses, holes, cutouts or the like.
Beim vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ist im Bereich des Z- Fal tstreifens 37 randseitig eine zum freien Rand hin offene Ausnehmung 43 angeordnet. Diese ist V-förmig ausgebildet und erstreckt sich annähernd mittig im Bereich des Z-Fal tstrei fens 37, also zu beiden Seiten der Z-Faltkante 40.In the present exemplary embodiment, in the region of the Z-fold strip 37, an edge that is open toward the free edge is on the edge Recess 43 arranged. This is V-shaped and extends approximately centrally in the area of the Z-fold tstrei fens 37, that is, on both sides of the Z-fold edge 40th
Bei der Herstellung der Packung wird zuerst die Z-Faltung im Bereich des im übrigen ebenen Zuschnitts gebildet (Fig. 8). Danach wird der Packungsinhalt durch den soweit vorbereiteten Zuschnitt umhüllt, wobei die Materi al Überdeckung im Bereich der Seitenwand 13 entsteht. Die Ausnehmung 43 ist in dem dem (äuße- ren) Seitenlappen 15 zugekehrten Bereich des Z-Fal tstrei fens 37 angeordnet. Durch die innenliegende Z-Faltung (Fig. 6) ist die Ausnehmung 43 bei der fertigen Packung außen überdeckt durch einen oberen Bereich des Seitenlappens 15. Unterhalb des Seitenlappens 14 ergibt sich durch die Gestalt und Anordnung der Ausnehmung 43 eine örtliche Material- bzw. Lagenreduzierung, und zwar im Bereich der Schenkel 38 und 39.When the pack is manufactured, the Z-fold is first formed in the area of the otherwise flat blank (FIG. 8). The package contents are then encased by the blank prepared so far, the material covering being created in the region of the side wall 13. The recess 43 is arranged in the region of the Z-fold strip 37 facing the (outer) side tab 15. Due to the internal Z-fold (FIG. 6), the recess 43 in the finished pack is covered on the outside by an upper region of the side tab 15. Below the side tab 14, the shape and arrangement of the recess 43 result in a local material or layer reduction , namely in the area of the legs 38 and 39.
Eine besonders korrekte und haltbare Verbindung im Bereich der Überlappung der Enden des mehrlagigen Material strei fens 31 ist dann gegeben, wenn im Bereich der geschaffenen Ausnehmung 43 Material 1 agen durch Kleben miteinander verbunden sind. Bei dem vorliegenden Beispiel ist ein Leimpunkt 44 im Bereich der Ausnehmung 43 positioniert. Dadurch wird der (außenliegende) Seitenlappen 15 unmittelbar mit dem innenliegenden Seitenlappen 14 verbunden, durch die Ausnehmung 43 hindurch. Bei dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel (Fig. 8) ist die Anordnung des Leimpunktes 44 so gewählt, daß dieser mittig zu einer die Ausnehmung 43 begrenzenden (Doppel -)Kante 45 positioniert ist. Durch den Leimpunkt 44 wird dadurch zugleich auch der äußere Seitenlappen 15 mit dem zugekehrten Schenkel 39 des Z-Fal tstrei fens 37 verbunden.A particularly correct and durable connection in the region of the overlap of the ends of the multi-layer material strip 31 is given if 43 material 1 agen are connected to one another by gluing in the region of the created recess. In the present example, a glue point 44 is positioned in the region of the recess 43. As a result, the (outer) side tab 15 is connected directly to the inner side tab 14, through the recess 43. In the exemplary embodiment shown (FIG. 8), the arrangement of the glue point 44 is selected such that it is positioned centrally to a (double) edge 45 delimiting the recess 43. Due to the glue point 44, the outer side tab 15 is also connected to the facing leg 39 of the Z-folding tstrei fens 37.
Die beschriebenen Zuschnitte werden zweckmäßigerweise von einer fortlaufenden Materialbahn durch quergerichtete Trennschnitte abgeteilt, wobei sich der Z-Fal tstreifen 37 zweckmäßigerweise in Längsrichtung der Bahn erstreckt. Die Ausnehmung 43 wird dabei durch bzw. mit einem quergerichteten Trennschnitt für die Zuschnitte angebracht durch entsprechende Ausgestaltung eines Trennmessers. Bei dem jeweils nachfolgenden Zuschnitt entsteht dadurch ein Vorsprung bzw. eine Zunge 46 in Gestalt der Ausnehmung 43 und in Fortsetzung des Z-Fal tstrei fens 37. Diese Zunge 46 verschwindet innenseitig bei der fertigen Packung.The blanks described are expediently separated from a continuous web of material by transverse separating cuts, the Z-folding strip 37 expediently extending in the longitudinal direction of the web. The recess 43 is through or with a transverse cut for the Blanks attached by appropriate design of a cutting knife. In the subsequent cut, this results in a projection or a tongue 46 in the form of the recess 43 and in continuation of the Z-folding tstrei fens 37. This tongue 46 disappears on the inside in the finished pack.
