Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Klappschachtel (Hinge-Lid-Packung) für Zigaretten, mit einem Schachtelteil aus Vorderwand, Rückwand und Seitenwänden sowie einem Deckel mit Deckel-Vorderwand, Deckel-Seitenwänden und einer mit der Rückwand des Schachtelteils schwenkbar verbundenen Deckel-Rückwand und mit einem am freien Rand der Deckel-Vorderwand angebrachten Faltlappen, wobei im Schachtelteil ein Kragen aus Kragen-Vorderwand und Kragen-Seitenlappen so angeordnet ist, daß dieser in Schließstellung teilweise durch den Deckel umfaßt ist.The invention relates to a hinged box (hinge-lid pack) for cigarettes, with a box part made of front wall, rear wall and side walls and a lid with a lid front wall, lid side walls and a lid rear wall pivotably connected to the rear wall of the box part and with a folding tabs attached to the free edge of the lid front wall, a collar made of the collar front wall and collar side tabs being arranged in the box part in such a way that in the closed position it is partially covered by the lid.

Klappschachteln bzw. Hinge-Lid-Packungen sind ein international weitverbreiteter Packungstyp für Zigaretten. Bei einem standardmäßigen Aufbau ist eine Zigarettengruppe von einer Innenumhüllung umgeben und bildet einen Zigarettenblock als Packungsinhalt. Die Klappschachtel selbst besteht aus dünnem Karton. Der Kragen besteht aus einem gesonderten Zuschnitt, ebenfalls aus dünnem Karton. Als Außenumhüllung ist eine Zellglas- oder dünne Kunststoffolie vorgesehen.Hinged lid packs are an internationally popular type of pack for cigarettes. With a standard structure, a cigarette group is from surrounded by an inner wrapping and forms a cigarette block as the contents of the pack. The folding box itself is made of thin cardboard. The collar consists of a separate cut, also made of thin cardboard. A cellophane or thin plastic film is provided as the outer covering.

Ein gewisser Mangel der Klappschachteln besteht darin, daß der Deckel bei geschlossener Verpackung keine exakte Schließstellung hält. Dies ist besonders nachteilig bei Klappschachteln ohne Außenumhüllung. Bei der Handhabung solcher Packungen vor Ingebrauchnahme derselben, zum Beispiel bei der Entnahme aus einem Zigaretten-Automaten, besteht die Gefahr eines unbeabsichtigten Öffnens der Verpackung.A certain deficiency of the folding boxes is that the lid does not hold an exact closed position when the packaging is closed. This is particularly disadvantageous for hinged boxes without an outer wrapper. When handling such packs before using them, for example when removing them from a cigarette machine, there is a risk of the packaging being opened unintentionally.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, Klappschachteln für Zigaretten oder ähnliche Gegenstände dahingehend weiterzuentwickeln und zu verbessern, daß ohne auffällige Umgestaltung eine verbesserte Schließstellung des Deckels gewährleistet ist.The invention has for its object to further develop and improve hinged boxes for cigarettes or similar objects in such a way that an improved closed position of the lid is ensured without a conspicuous redesign.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist die erfindungsgemäße Verpackung dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß an der Deckel-Vorderwand in Verlängerung derselben eine Stecklasche angebracht ist, die in Schließstellung zwischen Kragen-Vorderwand und Vorderwand des Schachtelteils vollständig eingeschoben ist, derart, daß die Schließkante des Schachtelteils bzw. der Vorderwand desselben und eine untere Deckelkante der Deckel-Vorderwand aneinanderliegen.To achieve this object, the packaging according to the invention is characterized in that a plug-in tab is attached to the cover front wall in an extension thereof, which is fully inserted in the closed position between the collar front wall and the front wall of the box part, such that the closing edge of the box part or The front wall of the same and a lower lid edge of the lid front wall lie together.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Klappschachtel wird ein nur geringfügig veränderter, standardmäßig ausgebildeter Zuschnitt eingesetzt. Ein bei herkömmlichen Klappschachteln vorhandener Faltlappen an der Deckel-Vorderwand, nämlich ein Deckel-Innenlappen, wird erfindungsgemäß nicht gegen die Innenseite der Deckel-Vorderwand umgefaltet und mit dieser verbunden. Vielmehr bleibt der Faltlappen in der Ebene der Deckel-Vorderwand und dient als Stecklasche. In Schließstellung tritt die Stecklasche in einen zwischen der Vorderwand des Schachtelteils und der Kragen-Vorderwand gebildeten Spalt und ist so vollständig verdeckt. Die Stecklasche wird in dieser Position form- und kraftschlüssig fixiert und hierdurch eine verbesserte Schließstellung bewirkt. Da Deckel-Vorderwand und Stecklasche eine durchgehende Ebene bilden, wird auch der sonst bei Klappschachteln übliche, unerwünschte Schließspalt zwischen einer Deckelkante der Deckel-Vorderwand und einer Schließkante der Vorderwand des Schachtelteils vermieden.In the hinged box according to the invention, only a slightly modified, standardly designed blank is used. According to the invention, a folding tab on the lid front wall, which is present in conventional folding boxes, is not folded over against the inside of the lid front wall and is connected to it. Rather, the folding tab remains in the plane of the front wall of the lid and serves as a tab. In In the closed position, the plug tab enters a gap formed between the front wall of the box part and the collar front wall and is thus completely covered. The plug-in tab is positively and non-positively fixed in this position and thereby brings about an improved closed position. Since the lid front wall and plug-in tab form a continuous plane, the undesirable closing gap, which is otherwise customary in folding boxes, between a lid edge of the lid front wall and a closing edge of the front wall of the box part is avoided.

Der an der Deckel-Vorderwand angeordnete und als Stecklasche dienende Faltlappen hat eine zungenförmige Ausgestaltung, die das Einführen in die Steckposition erleichtert.The folding tab, which is arranged on the front wall of the lid and serves as a plug-in tab, has a tongue-shaped configuration which facilitates insertion into the plug-in position.

Weitere Merkmale der Erfindung beziehen sich auf eine neuartige Fixierung des Kragens im Schachtelteil durch an ausgewählten Stellen angebrachte Leimpunkte. Des weiteren kann eine Formgebung bzw. Prägung von Kragen-Vorderwand und/oder Stecklasche die Handhabung der Verpackung erleichtern.Further features of the invention relate to a novel fixing of the collar in the box part by means of glue points attached at selected points. Furthermore, a shape or embossing of the front wall of the collar and / or a tongue can facilitate the handling of the packaging.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der erfindungsgemäßen Klappschachtel wird nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. In der Zeichnung zeigen:

Eine Klappschachtel 10 besteht üblicherweise aus einem Zuschnitt 11 (Fig. 4) aus dünnem Karton. Dieser ist durch Stanzschnitte 12 und Faltlinien 13 so geformt, daß die Klappschachtel 10 einen Schachtelteil 14 und einen Deckel 15 bildet. Der Schachtelteil 14 besteht aus Vorderwand 16, Bodenwand 17, Rückwand 18 sowie zwei schmalen, aufrechten Seitenwänden 19, 20. Letztere werden aus je zwei einander überdeckenden und durch Klebung miteinander verbundenen Seitenlappen 21, 22 bzw. 23, 24 gebildet.A hinged box 10 usually consists of a blank 11 (FIG. 4) made of thin cardboard. This is formed by punch cuts 12 and fold lines 13 so that the hinged box 10 forms a box part 14 and a lid 15. The box part 14 consists of the front wall 16, the bottom wall 17, the rear wall 18 and two narrow, upright side walls 19, 20. The latter are each formed from two overlapping side flaps 21, 22 and 23, 24 which are connected by adhesive bonding.

Der Deckel 15 besteht aus Deckel-Vorderwand 25, Deckel-Oberwand 26, Deckel-Rückwand 27 sowie Deckel-Seitenwänden 28, 29. Auch diese bestehen aus je zwei einander überdeckenden und miteinander verklebten Deckel-Seitenlappen 30, 31 bzw. 32, 33. Die Deckel-Rückwand 27 ist über eine Gelenklinie 34 mit der Rückwand 18 des Schachtelteils 14 verbunden.The lid 15 consists of the lid front wall 25, lid top wall 26, lid rear wall 27 and lid side walls 28, 29. These also each consist of two overlapping and glued lid side tabs 30, 31 and 32, 33, respectively. The lid rear wall 27 is connected to the rear wall 18 of the box part 14 via an articulated line 34.

Im Schachtelteil 14 ist ein Kragen 35 angeordnet. Dieser besteht hier aus einem gesonderten Zuschnitt, ebenfalls aus dünnem Karton. Der Kragen 35 bildet eine Kragen-Vorderwand 36 im Bereich der Vorderwand 16 des Schachtelteils 14 sowie quergerichtete Kragen-Seitenlappen 37, 38. Letztere liegen an der Innenseite der Seitenwände 19, 20 des Schachtelteils 14 an. Ein aus dem Schachtelteil 14 herausragender Bereich des Kragens 35 wird in Schließstellung der Verpackung durch den Deckel 15 umschlossen.A collar 35 is arranged in the box part 14. This consists of a separate blank, also made of thin cardboard. The collar 35 forms a collar front wall 36 in the region of the front wall 16 of the box part 14 and transverse collar side tabs 37, 38. The latter lie on the inside of the side walls 19, 20 of the box part 14. An area of the collar 35 protruding from the box part 14 is enclosed by the cover 15 in the closed position of the packaging.

An der Deckel-Vorderwand 25 befindet sich ein Faltlappen. Dieser ist bei der fertigen Klappschachtel 10 nicht gegen die Innenseite der Deckel-Vorderwand 25 umgefaltet und mit dieser verbunden, sondern erstreckt sich in Fortsetzung bzw. Verlängerung der Deckel-Vorderwand 25. Der Faltlappen dient als Stecklasche 40 für die Klappschachtel 10 in Schließstellung des Deckels 15.There is a folding flap on the front cover 25 of the lid. In the finished hinged box 10, this is not folded over and connected to the inside of the lid front wall 25, but extends in continuation or extension of the lid front wall 25. The folding flap serves as a plug-in tab 40 for the hinged box 10 in the closed position of the lid 15.

Zu diesem Zweck wird die Stecklasche 40 bei der Schließbewegung in einen Spalt 41 eingeführt, der zwischen der Vorderwand 16 des Schachtelteils 14 und der Kragen-Vorderwand 36 gebildet ist. Dadurch wird eine stabile Schließstellung gewährleistet, die beim Öffnen der Klappschachtel 10 durch Erfassen des Deckels 15 leicht beseitigt werden kann. Die Stecklasche 40 ist bei geschlossener Klappschachtel 10 vollständig in den Spalt 41 eingeschoben, wird also durch die Vorderwand 16 des Schachtelteils 14 überdeckt. Eine obere Schließkante 39 der Vorderwand 16 kann dadurch, wie bei üblichen Klappschachteln, an einer Gegenkante des Deckels 15, nämlich an einer unteren, parallelen Deckelkante 47 anliegen.For this purpose, the insertion tab 40 is inserted into a gap 41 during the closing movement, which between the Front wall 16 of the box part 14 and the collar front wall 36 is formed. This ensures a stable closed position, which can be easily eliminated when the hinged box 10 is opened by grasping the lid 15. When the hinged box 10 is closed, the plug-in tab 40 is pushed completely into the gap 41, and is therefore covered by the front wall 16 of the box part 14. An upper closing edge 39 of the front wall 16 can thus, as in conventional hinged boxes, rest on a counter edge of the cover 15, namely on a lower, parallel cover edge 47.

Der Kragen 35 ist üblicherweise im Schachtelteil 14 durch Leimverbindungen fixiert. Im vorliegenden Falle befindet sich die Verleimung außerhalb des durch die Stecklasche 40 in Schließstellung abgedeckten Bereichs der Kragen-Vorderwand 36. Bei dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel sind zwei Leimpunkte 42, 43 benachbart zu einem unteren Rand 44 der Kragen-Vorderwand 36 angeordnet. Die Leimpunkte 42, 43 gewährleisten einerseits einen ausreichenden Halt für den Kragen 35, ermöglichen andererseits aber das Einführen der Stecklasche 40 in die Schließ- bzw. Klemmstellung.The collar 35 is usually fixed in the box part 14 by glue connections. In the present case, the gluing is located outside the area of the collar front wall 36 covered by the plug-in tab 40 in the closed position. In the exemplary embodiment shown, two glue points 42, 43 are arranged adjacent to a lower edge 44 of the collar front wall 36. The glue points 42, 43 on the one hand ensure a sufficient hold for the collar 35, but on the other hand allow the insertion of the plug-in tab 40 into the closed or clamped position.

Bei dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Kragen 35 zusätzlich durch Leimpunkte 45 im Bereich der Kragen-Seitenlappen 37, 38 mit den Seitenwänden 19, 20 des Schachtelteils 14 verbunden.In the present exemplary embodiment, the collar 35 is additionally connected to the side walls 19, 20 of the box part 14 by glue points 45 in the region of the collar side tabs 37, 38.

Zur leichteren Handhabung beim Öffnen und Schließen und zur Verbesserung des äußeren Erscheinungsbildes können Materialverformungen, nämlich Materialprägungen, im Bereich der Kragen-Vorderwand 36 und/oder im Bereich der Stecklasche 40 gebildet sein. Letztere kann durch eine verformende Prägung gegenüber der Frontseite der Kragen-Vorderwand 36 zurückgesetzt sein. Dadurch ergibt sich in Schließstellung ein absatzfreier Übergang zwischen Deckel-Vorderwand 25 und Vorderwand 16 des Schachtelteils 14.For easier handling when opening and closing and to improve the external appearance, material deformations, namely material embossing, can be formed in the region of the collar front wall 36 and / or in the region of the plug-in tab 40. The latter can be set back against the front of the collar front wall 36 by a deforming embossing. This results in a step-free transition between the lid front wall 25 and front wall 16 of the box part 14 in the closed position.

Zusätzlich oder alternativ kann mindestens ein Teilbereich der Kragen-Vorderwand 36 durch prägende Formgebung gegenüber der Vorderwand 16 des Schachtelteils 14 zurückgesetzt sein, so daß ein offener Spalt für die Einführung der Stecklasche 40 entsteht.Additionally or alternatively, at least a portion of the collar front wall 36 can be set back in relation to the front wall 16 of the box part 14 by means of a shaping shape, so that an open gap is created for the insertion of the plug-in tab 40.

Die Stecklasche 40 ist im vorliegenden Falle besonders ausgebildet, nämlich zungenförmig. Ein äußerer, freier Rand 46 ist hier kreisbogenförmig gestaltet. Dadurch ist eine zusätzliche Erleichterung beim Einführen der Stecklasche 40 in die Schließstellung gewährleistet. Bei dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Stecklasche 40 mit etwas geringerer Breite ausgebildet als die Deckel-Vorderwand 25 durch Ausstanzungen 48. Die Deckelkante 47 liegt dadurch an ihren Enden auf einer Länge von 3 mm bis 5 mm frei. Diese Abmessung der Stecklasche 40 erleichtert ebenfalls den Schließvorgang.The plug-in tab 40 is specially designed in the present case, namely tongue-shaped. An outer, free edge 46 is here designed in the shape of a circular arc. This ensures additional relief when inserting the tongue 40 into the closed position. In the present exemplary embodiment, the plug-in tab 40 is formed with a somewhat smaller width than the cover front wall 25 by means of punchings 48.
