Abstract

Cartons of cigarettes are packages containing a large number (e.g. ten) of packs (30) of cigarettes. By a special design of these cartons of cigarettes or of a common blank (93), the carton of cigarettes can be divided into partial packs (semi-cartons 34, 35), each of these partial packs forming an easy-to-handle and saleable unit just like the complete carton of cigarettes. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackung zur Aufnahme einer Mehrzahl von Einzelgegenständer, insbesondere Zigaretten-­Packungen, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Des weiteren betrifft die Erfindung ein Verfahren zur Her­stellung einer derartigen Verpackung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 6.The invention relates to a packaging for holding a plurality of individual objects, in particular cigarette packs, according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing such a packaging according to the preamble of claim 6.

Aus der US-A-30 92 301 ist bereits eine Verpackung aus zusammenhängenden Teilpackungen bekannt, die aus falt­barem Karton hergestellt ist und zum Einfüllen von Zigaretten oder dergleichen dient. Die Teilpackungen sind aus einem gemeinsamen Zuschnitt derart gebildet, daß nach dem Fertigfalten derselben diese mit benach­barten Kanten an einer Verbindungslinie zusammen­hängen. Nach dem Befüllen und Verschließen der Teil­packungen durch ihre Stecklaschendeckel lassen sie sich bei Bedarf an einer Verbindungslinie teilen, so daß aus einem größeren Gebinde zwei (oder auch mehrere) kleinere Gebinde entstehen.From US-A-30 92 301 a package consisting of coherent partial packs is already known, which is made from foldable cardboard and is used for filling cigarettes or the like. The partial packs are formed from a common blank in such a way that after they have been finished they are connected to adjacent edges on a connecting line. After filling and closing the partial packs through their plug-in flap lids, they can be divided on a connecting line if necessary, so that two (or more) smaller containers are created from a larger container.

Ähnlich teilbare Verpackungen, jedoch in unterschied­licher Größe und für verschiedene Füllgegenstände, sind auch aus der US-A-32 41 738 bekannt.Similarly divisible packaging, but in different sizes and for different filling articles, are also known from US-A-32 41 738.

Bei der Verpackung von Zigaretten ist es üblich,größere Verpackungseinheiten, nämlich Zigarettenstangen, aus einer Mehrzahl zusammengefaßter Zigaretten-Packungen zu bilden. Üblicherweise werden zehn Zigaretten-­Packungen zu einer derartigen Großpackung zusammenge­faßt, die durch einen Papier- oder Kartonzuschnitt umhüllt ist. Die Besonderheit besteht nun darin, daß unter Erhaltung von je für sich handhabungsfähigen Teilpackungen eine Aufteilung der Verpackung (Zigarettenstange) möglich ist, so daß eine kleinere Einheit, insbesondere eine "Halbstange" verteilt, aus­gestellt oder verkauft werden kann.When packaging cigarettes, it is customary to form larger packaging units, namely cigarette sticks, from a plurality of cigarette packs combined. Usually ten packs of cigarettes are combined to form such a large pack, which is encased in a paper or cardboard blank. The peculiarity now consists in the fact that the packaging (cigarette stick) can be divided up while maintaining partial packs that can be handled independently, so that a smaller unit, in particular a "half stick", can be distributed, exhibited or sold.

Die bekannten Verpackungen lassen sich zwar au diesem Zweck ebenso aufteilen, doch hat die Verwendung dieser aus Karton bestehenden Teilbehälter den Nach­teil, daß bei Anordnung von an sich fertigen Zigaretten-Packungen in denselben zwei für sich ge­nommen selbständige Verpackungen notwendig sind. Das führt zu einem erheblichen, teilweise unnötigen Ver­packungsaufwand.The known packaging can be divided for this purpose as well, but the use of these partial containers made of cardboard has the disadvantage that two independent packages are necessary when arranging cigarette packs that are finished per se. The leads to a considerable, sometimes unnecessary packaging effort.

Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zu­grunde, Verpackungen der eingangs genannten Art dahin­gehend weiterzuentwickeln, daß diese mit geringem Auf­wand einfach herstellbar sind bei gleichwohl günstiger Handhabung derselben sowie ein Verfahren zur Her­stellung, insbesondere zum Verschluß derartiger Ver­packungen zu schaffen.Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is to further develop packagings of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that they can be easily produced with little effort and at the same time are inexpensive to handle, and also to provide a method for producing, in particular for closing such packs.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe weist die Verpackung und ein Verfahren zur Herstellung derselben die kennzeichnenden Merkmale der Ansprüche 1 und 6 auf.To achieve this object, the packaging and a method for producing the same have the characterizing features of claims 1 and 6.

Die erfindungsgemäße Verpackung (Zigarettenstange) ist in ihrem äußeren Erscheinungsbild prinzipiell in her­kömmlicher Weise aufgebaut, weist also eine üblicher­weise quaderförmige Gestalt auf, wobei durch einen Zu­schnitt eine übliche Anzahl von vorzugsweise zehn Zigaretten-Packungen umhüllt ist. Durch diese einfache (äußere) Umhüllung aus einem einzigen, einstückigen Zuschnitt läßt sich die Verpackung leicht herstellen. Darüber hinaus ist der erfindungsgemäß ausgebildete Verschluß besonders geeignet für eine vielfach not­wendige vorläufige Schließstellung der Zigarettenstange, die vor allem dann notwendig ist, wenn die einzelnen Zigaretten-Packungen im Bereich ihrer Stirnflächen nach der (weitgehenden) Fertigstellung der Zigaretten­stangen mit einer Steuernummer bzw. einem Aufdruck versehen werden müssen, wie es beispielsweise aufgrund besonderer steuerrechtlicher Vorschriften in den USA notwendig ist.The packaging (cigarette stick) according to the invention is basically constructed in a conventional manner in terms of its external appearance, that is to say it has a usually cuboid shape, a customary number of preferably ten cigarette packs being enveloped by a cut. This simple (outer) wrapping from a single, one-piece blank makes the packaging easy to manufacture. In addition, the closure designed according to the invention is particularly suitable for a frequently necessary provisional closing position of the cigarette rod, which is particularly necessary when the individual cigarette packs in the area of their end faces after the (extensive) completion of the cigarette rods with a tax number or an imprint must be provided, as is necessary, for example, due to special tax regulations in the USA.

Durch die Integration von Stecklaschen in die Fläche der Deckwandungen des Zuschnitts lassen sich die Stecklaschen ohne nennenswerten materiellen Mehrauf­ wand bilden. Die Verpackung ist somit besonders wirt­schaftlich herstellbar. Darüber hinaus ermöglichen die Stecklaschen ein nahezu beliebig häufiges Öffnen und Schließen der Teilpackungen, und zwar auch nach dem endgültigen Verschluß. Die Stecklaschen bilden gleich­zeitig nach einem weiteren vorschlag der Erfindung Materialschwächungen in dem Bereich einer Trennlinie an den Kanten der Längsseitenwände beider Teilpackungen. Diese lassen sich dadurch in einfacher Weise (manuell) trennen durch Aufeinanderkplappen der Teilpackungen und durch Brechen des Zuschnitts im Bereich dieser Trenn­linie, wobei sich einander zugekehrte Längsseiten­flächen gegeneinander abstützen.By integrating tabs in the surface of the top walls of the blank, the tabs can be opened without any significant additional material form wall. The packaging can thus be produced particularly economically. In addition, the tabs allow the partial packs to be opened and closed almost any number of times, even after the final closure. At the same time, according to a further proposal of the invention, the plug-in tabs form material weaknesses in the region of a dividing line at the edges of the longitudinal side walls of both partial packs. As a result, these can be separated (manually) in a simple manner by collapsing the partial packs onto one another and by breaking the blank in the region of this dividing line, with mutually facing longitudinal side surfaces being supported against one another.

Zwei Ausführungsbeispiele der erfindungsgemäßen Ver­packung sowie das Verfahren zur Herstellung derselben werden nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnungen näher er­läutert.Two exemplary embodiments of the packaging according to the invention and the method for producing the same are explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings.

Die in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsbei­spiele der Erfindung betreffen die Verpackung von Zigaretten. Es geht darum, mehrere einzelne Zigaretten-­Packungen 30 in einer größeren Verpackung, einer Ziga­rettenstange, unterzubringen. Bei den gezeigten Aus­führungsbeispielen sind jeweils insgesamt zehn Ziga­retten-Packungen 30 zu einer Zigarettenstange zusammen­gefaßt. Die Zigaretten-Packungen 30 sind in zwei Pak­kungsreihen 31 und 32 gruppiert, und zwar derart, daß sich die Zigaretten-Packungen 30 mit ihrer Längser­streckung quer zur Längsrichtung der Zigarettenstange orientieren. Die Zigaretten-Packungen 30 sind innerhalb der Packungsreihen 31, 32 flachliegend angeordnet.The exemplary embodiments of the invention shown in the drawings relate to the packaging of cigarettes. The aim is to accommodate several individual cigarette packs 30 in a larger package, a cigarette rod. In the exemplary embodiments shown, a total of ten cigarette packs 30 are combined to form a cigarette rod. The cigarette packs 30 are grouped into two pack rows 31 and 32 in such a way that the cigarette packs 30 are oriented with their longitudinal extension transverse to the longitudinal direction of the cigarette rod. The cigarette packs 30 are arranged lying flat within the pack rows 31, 32.

Die Gruppe von insgesamt zehn Zigaretten-Packungen 30 ist durch einen gemeinsamen Zuschnitt 43 bzw. 93 (Fig.4 bzw. 10) umhüllt. Dieser kann aus Papier, karton oder auch aus einer geeigneten Folie bzw. einem Laminatprodukt bestehen.The group of a total of ten cigarette packs 30 is encased by a common blank 43 or 93 (FIGS. 4 and 10). This can consist of paper, cardboard or a suitable film or a laminate product.

Des weiteren ist die Umhüllung so gestaltet, daß jede Packungsreihe 31, 32 eine gewisse Eigenständigkeit erhält, derart, daß durch Trennung bzw. Teilung der Verpackung Teilpackungen entstehen, im vorliegenden Falle Halbstangen 34 und 35, die demnach je eine Packungsreihe 31 bzw. 32 (fünf Zigaretten-Packungen 30) als Inhalt haben. Diese Halbstangen 34, 35 sind bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 1 bis 7 vollständig ringsherum eingehüllt mit Deckwandungen 36, 37, Längs­seitenwandungen 38, 83 und 84 sowie Stirnwandungen 40 und 41.Furthermore, the wrapping is designed in such a way that each row of packs 31, 32 is given a certain degree of independence, such that the separation or division of the Packing partial packs are created, in the present case half-bars 34 and 35, which accordingly each contain a row of packs 31 or 32 (five packs of cigarettes 30). In the exemplary embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 7, these half-bars 34, 35 are completely encased with cover walls 36, 37, longitudinal side walls 38, 83 and 84 and end walls 40 and 41.

Der gemeinsame, enstückige Zuschnitt 93 (Fig. 4) ist so um die beiden Packungsreihen 31, 32 herumgelegt, daß die miteinander verbundenen Deckwandungen 36 der beiden Halbstangen 34 und 35 bei der kompletten Ver­packung aufeinanderliegen (Fig. 1, 5 und 6), und zwar im Bereich einer Teilungsebene 42 für die Verpackung. Die Verbindung der beiden Deckwandungen 36 ist lösbar bzw. durchtrennbar. Aus diesem Grunde ist ein die beiden Deckwandungen 36 bildendes Zuschnittfeld 98 mittig mit einer Trennlinie 94 versehen. Das so ausge­bildete Zuschnittfeld 98 des Zuschnitts 93 verbindet beide Halbstangen 34 und 35 miteinander, wobei die Trennlinie 94 sich mittig im Bereich einer durch die beiden Längsseitenwandungen 83 und 84 gebildeten Seitenfläche 47 der kompletten Verpackung erstreckt.The common, one-piece blank 93 (FIG. 4) is placed around the two rows of packs 31, 32 in such a way that the connected top walls 36 of the two half-bars 34 and 35 lie one on top of the other during the complete packaging (FIGS. 1, 5 and 6), and in the area of a division level 42 for the packaging. The connection of the two top walls 36 is detachable or severable. For this reason, a cutting field 98 forming the two top walls 36 is provided with a dividing line 94 in the center. The thus formed cutting field 98 of the blank 93 connects the two half rods 34 and 35 to one another, the dividing line 94 extending centrally in the region of a side face 47 of the complete packaging formed by the two longitudinal side walls 83 and 84.

Die komplette Zigarettenstange (Fig. 1) ist im vorliegen­den Falle dadurch gebildet, daß die Halbstangen 34 und 35 nicht nur im Bereich der Trennlinie 94 des gemein­samen Zuschnitts 93 miteinander verbunden sind, sondern darüber hinaus durch weitere lösbare Verbindungen - im vorliegenden Falle mehrere punktförmige Leimstellen 48, die auf der von der Trennlinie 44 abliegenden Seite der Halbstangen 34, 35 auf den einander zugekehr­ten Deckwandungen 36 der beiden Halbstangen 34, 35 angebracht sind. Durch diese lösbaren Verbindungen ergibt sich eine als Einheit handelsfähige, stabile Verpackung (Zigarettenstange) im wesentlichen mit dem herkömmlichen Erscheinungsbild (Fig. 1). Alternativ ist es möglich, die Zigarettenstange zu teilen unter Bildung der Halbstangen 34, 35. Dabei müssen bei dem hier erörterten Ausführungsbeispiel zunächst durch Lösen der Leimstellen 48 die Halbstangen 34, 35 in eine gemeinsame Ebene geschwenkt werden (Fig. 2). Nunmehr ist der Zuschnitt 93 im Bereich der Trennlinie 94 zu durchtrennen. Im vorliegenden Fall wird dabei ein besonderer Brecheffekt ausgenutzt (Fig. 2). Die beiden Halbstangen 34, 35 stützen sich mit den einander zugekehrten Längsseitenwandungen 83 und 84 gegeneinander ab, wobei insbesondere von der Trennlinie 94 entfernt liegende Stützkanten 94, 50 (Fig. 7) der beiden Halb­stangen 34, 35 den (manuell ausgeführten) Brecheffekt über diese Stützkanten 49, 50 erleichtern.The complete cigarette rod (FIG. 1) is formed in the present case in that the half-rods 34 and 35 are connected to one another not only in the region of the dividing line 94 of the common blank 93, but also by further releasable connections — in the present case several punctiform glue points 48, which are arranged on the side of the half-rods 34, 35 remote from the dividing line 44 on the facing top walls 36 of the two half-rods 34, 35. These releasable connections result in a stable packaging (cigarette stick) that can be traded as a unit essentially with the conventional appearance (Fig. 1). Alternatively, it is possible to divide the cigarette rod to form the half-rods 34, 35. In the exemplary embodiment discussed here, the half-rods 34, 35 must first be pivoted into a common plane by loosening the glue points 48 (FIG. 2). Now the blank 93 is to be cut in the area of the dividing line 94. In the present case, a special breaking effect is used (Fig. 2). The two half-rods 34, 35 are supported with the mutually facing longitudinal side walls 83 and 84 against each other, in particular with support edges 94, 50 (FIG. 7) of the two half-rods 34, 35 which are located away from the dividing line 94, and the (manually carried out) breaking effect thereof Lighten support edges 49, 50.

Die Besonderheit dieses Ausführungsbeispiels liegt darin, daß die die gemeinsame Seitenfläche 47 der Zigarettenstange bildenden Längsseitenwandungen 83 und 84 der beiden Halbstangen 34, 35 in besonderer Weise ausgebildet sind. Diesen ist nämlich jeweils eine Stecklasche 85, 86 zugeordnet. Die Stecklaschen 85, 85 liegen über die Länge der Längsseitenwandungen 83, 84 mit Abstand voneinander, also außermittig. Sie werden erst wirksam bzw. werden gebildet, wenn die Zigaretten­stange (Fig. 1 in die Teilpackungen (Halbstangen 34, 35) aufgeteilt wird. Die Stecklaschen 85, 86 werden dann frei und können durch Umfalten in die Ebene der Längsseitenwandung 83 bzw. 84 mit einer abgegrenzten Steckzunge 87 in einen an passender Stelle der Längs­seitenwandung 83 bzw. angeordneten Halteschlitz 88 eingeführt werden.The special feature of this exemplary embodiment is that the longitudinal side walls 83 and 84 of the two half-rods 34, 35 which form the common side surface 47 of the cigarette rod are of a special design. Each of these is assigned a plug-in tab 85, 86. The plug-in tabs 85, 85 lie at a distance from one another over the length of the longitudinal side walls 83, 84, that is to say off-center. They only become effective or are formed when the cigarette rod (FIG. 1) is divided into the partial packs (half-rods 34, 35). The plug-in tabs 85, 86 then become free and can also be folded over into the plane of the longitudinal side walls 83 and 84 a delimited insertion tongue 87 are inserted into a holding slot 88 arranged at a suitable point on the longitudinal side wall 83 or.

Die Stecklaschen 85, 86 werden durch Teile der einander zugekehrten und lösbar miteinander verbundenen Deck­wandungen 89, 90 der Teilpackungen (Halbstangen 34, 35) gebildet. Zu diesem Zweck sind sie Stecklaschen 85 und 86 jeweils durch entsprechende Stanzungen 91 und 92 in dem Zuschnittfeld 93 für die Deckwandungen 89 und 90 gebildet. Damit wirken die Stecklaschen 85 und 86 auch als Teil der Trennlinie 94, die in der bereits beschriebenen Weise zwischen den Deckwandungen 89 und 90 gebildet ist. Restverbindungen 95 sind hier in der Trennlinie 94 gebildet, also im Bereich zwischen den Stecklaschen 85 und 86.The plug-in tabs 85, 86 are formed by parts of the facing and detachably connected top walls 89, 90 of the partial packs (half rods 34, 35). For this purpose they are plug-in tabs 85 and 86 are each formed by corresponding punchings 91 and 92 in the cutting field 93 for the top walls 89 and 90. The plug-in tabs 85 and 86 thus also act as part of the dividing line 94, which is formed between the cover walls 89 and 90 in the manner already described. Residual connections 95 are formed here in the dividing line 94, that is to say in the region between the plug-in tabs 85 and 86.

Bei der Herstellung der vorliegenden Verpackungen (Zigarettenstangen) aus einem Zuschnitt 93 gemäß Fig. 4 kann beispielsweise so vorgegangen werden, daß der Zu­schnitt 93 von einer fortlaufenden Bahn abgetrennt und auf einem unteren Anschlag in aufrechter Stellung fixiert wird. Die beiden Packrungsreihen 31 und 32 werden in horizontaler Ebene zugeführt. Die Packungsreihen 31 und 32 werden dabei durch eine Zwischenführung im Ab­stand voneinander gehalten. Durch ein Faltschwert sowie durch oberhalb und unterhalb der Packungsreihen 31, 32 angeordnete plattenförmige Gegenhalter mit schräg bzw. spitz auslaufenden Faltkanten wird der Zuschnitt 93 etwa V-förmig vorgefaltet, wobei die Faltung im Bereich der Trennlinie 94 liegt. Im weiteren Verlauf wird der die Deckwandungen 36 bildende Teil des Zuschnitts 93 zwischen die Packungsreihen 31, 32 gefaltet bei entspre­chendem Zurückziehen der Zwischenführung. Die Zigaret­tenreihen sind dabei seitlich durch Gegenhalter abge­stütz. Zugleich werden durch weitere im einzelnen nicht gezeigte Faltorgane die Längsseitenwände 38 in dem Zuschnitt 93 vorgefaltet, so daß die Packungsrei­hen 31, 32 oben und unten durch schließlich horizontal gerichtete Zuschnitteile abgedeckt sind.In the production of the present packaging (cigarette sticks) from a blank 93 according to FIG. 4, for example, the procedure can be such that the blank 93 is separated from a continuous web and fixed in an upright position on a lower stop. The two pack series 31 and 32 are fed in the horizontal plane. The pack rows 31 and 32 are kept apart by an intermediate guide. The blank 93 is pre-folded approximately V-shaped by a folding sword and by plate-shaped counterholders arranged above and below the rows of packs 31, 32, the fold 93 lying in the region of the dividing line 94. In the further course, the part of the blank 93 which forms the top walls 36 is folded between the rows of packs 31, 32 with the corresponding withdrawal of the intermediate guide. The rows of cigarettes are supported laterally by counterholders. At the same time, the longitudinal side walls 38 are pre-folded in the blank 93 by further folding members, not shown in detail, so that the rows of packs 31, 32 are covered at the top and bottom by finally horizontally directed blank parts.

Bei der Herstellung einer Verpackung (Zigarettenstange) aus einem Zuschnitt gemäß Fig. 4 wird laut vorliegendem Ausführungsbeispiel so vorgegangen, daß die voll ausgestanzten Stecklaschen 87 quer abstehend zu den Deckwandungen 89 und 90 ausgerichtet werden, also in Verlängerung derselben, wenn diese unter Umfalten um 180° aneinanderliegend zwischen die Packungsreihen 31, 32 eingefaltet sind (Fig. 5). Die Stecklaschen 85, 86 erstrecken sich demnach quer zu der gemeinsamen Seiten­fläche 47 der Verpackung. Die Stecklaschen 85, 86 werden sodann umgefaltet gegen die Stirnflächen 51 der Zigaretten-Packungen 30. Gegen diese wiederum werden sodann die zunächst oben und unten überstehenden (Fig. 5) Längsseitenwände 83 und 84 gefaltet. Letztere sind jeweils mit einem Leimpunkt 96 versehen, der eine (lösbare) Verbindung zwischen den Längsseitenwandungen 83, 84 und den zugeordneten Stecklaschen 85, 86 bildet.4, the present exemplary embodiment is used in such a way that the fully punched-out tabs 87 project transversely to the Cover walls 89 and 90 are aligned, that is to say in extension of the same, if they are folded against one another by folding through 180 ° between the rows of packs 31, 32 (FIG. 5). The plug-in tabs 85, 86 accordingly extend transversely to the common side surface 47 of the packaging. The plug-in tabs 85, 86 are then folded over against the end faces 51 of the cigarette packs 30. Against this in turn, the longitudinal side walls 83 and 84 which initially protrude above and below (FIG. 5) are then folded. The latter are each provided with a glue point 96, which forms a (detachable) connection between the longitudinal side walls 83, 84 and the associated plug-in tabs 85, 86.

Bei Teilung der so ausgebildeten Zigarettenstange werden zunächst die Leimstellen 48 gelöst und die Halbstangen 34, 35 in eine gemeinsame Ebene geschwenkt. Sodann erfolgt in der beschriebenen Weise die Durch­trennung im Bereich der Trennlinie 94 unter Durch­teilung der Restverbindungen 95.When the cigarette rod designed in this way is divided, the glue points 48 are first released and the half-rods 34, 35 are pivoted into a common plane. The separation in the region of the dividing line 94 then takes place in the manner described, with the remaining connections 95 being divided.

Für die Ingebrauchnahme jeder Teilpackung (Halbstange 34, 35) können nunmehr die Leimpunkte 96 gelöst werden, so daß die Verbindung zwischen den Längsseitenwandungen 83, 84 und den zugeordneten Stecklaschen 85, 86 be­seitigt ist. Letztere können nunmehr mit der Steckzunge 87 in den Halteschlitz 88 der Längsseitenwandung 83, 84 eingeführt werden, so daß eine wiederverschließbare Halbstange 34, 35 geschaffen ist.For the use of each partial pack (half-bar 34, 35), the glue points 96 can now be released, so that the connection between the longitudinal side walls 83, 84 and the associated plug-in tabs 85, 86 is eliminated. The latter can now be inserted with the tongue 87 into the holding slot 88 of the longitudinal side wall 83, 84, so that a reclosable half-bar 34, 35 is created.

Die Verpackung gemäß Fig. 8 bis 10 ist besonders geeignet für Anwendungsfälle, bei denen an den Stirn­seiten der Zigaretten-Packungen 30 nachträglich Maß­nahmen durchgeführt, insbesondere steuerrechtliche Markierungen anzubringen sind. Die zur Trennlinie 44 benachbarten Längsseitenwandungen 83 und 84 fehlen bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel, so daß im Bereich dieser Längsseiten beide Halbstangen 34 und 45 offen sind. Die Stirnseiten der Zigaretten-Packungen 30 liegen hier frei.The packaging according to FIGS. 8 to 10 is particularly suitable for applications in which measures, in particular tax law markings, are subsequently carried out on the front sides of the cigarette packs 30. The longitudinal side walls 83 and 84 adjacent to the dividing line 44 are absent in this embodiment, so that in the area of this Long sides of both half rods 34 and 45 are open. The end faces of the cigarette packs 30 are exposed here.

Zur Fixierung der Zigaretten-Packungen 30 in den offenen Halbstangen 34, 35 ist jede Zigaretten-Packung 30 lösbar mit einer der Wandungen der Halbstangen 34, 35 verbunden, insbesondere mit den beiden Deckwandungen 36, 37. Im vorliegenden Falle ist jeweils ein Leimpunkt 97 an jeder Deckwandung für jede Zigaretten-Packung 30 zur Fixierung in der Halbstange 34, 35 vorgesehen.To fix the cigarette packs 30 in the open half-rods 34, 35, each cigarette pack 30 is detachably connected to one of the walls of the half-rods 34, 35, in particular to the two top walls 36, 37. In the present case, a glue point 97 is applied to each each top wall for each cigarette pack 30 for fixation in the half-rod 34, 35 provided.
