Definitions

  • the invention further relates to a blank for production of folding boxes with the above characteristics.
  • Hinged boxes are a worldwide type of packaging for cigarettes spread.
  • the standard structure of a hinged box or Hinge lid pack looks like that box part and lid in the Area of the back of the box and the back of the lid through a transverse hinge line hingedly connected to each other are.
  • In the box part there is a collar that stands out from this arranged in the area of the box front wall and the box side walls extends.
  • the one from the box part outstanding area of the collar is in the closed position of Cover front wall and cover side walls includes.
  • GB 507 998 is a cut for a hinged box with shown in the longitudinal direction adjacent walls, of an additional strip of material between the rear wall and Has lid rear wall.
  • the material strip serves one higher flexibility of the lid when open. By the material strip is the lid at a greater distance movable from the package opening or from the collar provided.
  • the same font shows in another embodiment a folding box with elongated narrow side walls. These are overlapped by the lid in the closed position.
  • a Collar is not provided, nor is there any additional Strips of material in the area of the rear wall.
  • the invention has for its object a folding box and blank with improved properties and less material as well Propose manufacturing effort.
  • the hinged box according to the invention characterized in that the folding leg on the outside of the Box back wall rests and permanently connected to it is by gluing or the like.
  • the invention Cutting is due to the characterizing features of claim 5 featured.
  • the hinged box possible to do without a collar.
  • the required This will overlap the lid in the closed position ensures that cover front wall and cover side walls with a lower part or edge area of the box front wall and box side walls in their upper edge areas overlap. This makes an effective closed position guaranteed. Opening the hinged box is made easier because the lid is in the area of the lid front wall and lid side tabs on the corresponding walls of the box part rests and can thus be better grasped.
  • the hinged box is made entirely from a one-piece blank manufactured in which die cuts as an additional measure in the area of the box rear wall and / or the lid rear wall are to be attached to the folding areas, in particular for a z-fold to expose.
  • the hinged box designed according to the invention can by a Outer casing made of cellophane or polyfoil.
  • the Hinged box is also particularly suitable for recently offered cigarette packs without outer wrapping.
  • Hinged boxes consist of a box part 10 and a Lid 11.
  • the box part 10 forms a box front wall 12, opposite a box rear wall 13, narrow, upright box side walls 14, 15 and a bottom wall 16.
  • the cover 11 is designed analogously. It consists of one Lid front wall 17, an opposite lid rear wall 18, lid side walls 19, 20 in extension of the box side walls 14, 15 (with the hinged box closed) and off an end wall 21 opposite the bottom wall 16. Die Box side walls 14, 15 consist of overlapping one another and box side tabs bonded together 22, 23. Analogously, the lid side walls 19, 20 are made of lid side tabs 24, 25 bonded together.
  • Box part 10 and lid 11 are in the area of the box rear wall 13 and lid rear wall 18 over a transverse Joint or a hinge line formed by embossing the material 26 pivotally connected.
  • the hinge line 26 extends the full width of the back of the box 13 and lid rear wall 18.
  • the dimensions of the box part 10 and lid 11 are selected so that the contents of the pack, namely a group of cigarettes surrounded by an inner wrapper - Cigarette block 27 - sits in the box part 10 and protrudes from it with an upper end region. This is enclosed by the lid 11 in the closed position of the hinged box.
  • the lid 11 is arranged and dimensioned so that in the closed position the hinged box is an upper end region of the box part 10 from the lid 11, namely from the lid front wall 12, Lid rear wall 13 and lid side walls 14, 15 is included.
  • the proportions are chosen so that they can be opened without constraint and closing the lid are possible.
  • the lid 11 is for this purpose in relation to conventional folding boxes set lower so that closing edges of box part 10 and Do not knock cover 11 together in the closed position - as is usually the case.
  • the hinge line 26 In order to enable the described relative position of the cover 11, is the hinge line 26 down, that is in the direction to the bottom wall 16, offset. This relative position is through folds in the rear area of the hinged box. It is the present embodiment around a Z-shaped fold, ie a Z-fold 28. This becomes in the area of box rear wall 13 and lid rear wall 18 educated.
  • the hinge line 26 is through a folding leg 29 shifted downwards, causing the relative position of the whole Cover 11 is changed accordingly.
  • the folding leg 29 is accordingly below by hinge line 26 and above by a Folded edge 30 limited. In this area, the Folding leg 29 on the box rear wall 13.
  • the folding leg 29 is permanently connected to the box rear wall 13, especially by gluing 43. When opening and closing of the lid 11, the folding leg 29 remains in firm contact on the back of the box 13.

  • Upper closing edges, namely a transverse box edge 31 and to the box rear wall 13 obliquely rising box side edges 32 run a short distance from the top Limitation of the cigarette block 27.
  • the walls of the lid 11 are slightly larger or wider than conventional ones Hinged box so that it covers the top of the Box part 10 may include.
  • a lid leading edge 33 runs parallel to the front edge of the box in the closed position 31, but offset downwards.
  • Lid side edges 34 run also at an angle, in the closed position parallel to the box side edges 32.
  • a blank 35 for such a hinged box is in one piece formed and can, as shown in Fig. 3 and in Fig. 6, be made from a continuous web of material by means of corresponding cross-cutting cuts.
  • the cut 35 is an elongated structure, with the box front wall 12, bottom wall 16, box rear wall 13, lid rear wall 18, end wall 21 and box front wall 17 in succession delimited from each other by transverse folding lines are.
  • the material strip 39 is on the side limited by separating cuts, namely by separating legs 37. These run in the area of longitudinal fold lines 38, the box rear wall 13 of adjoining box side tabs 22 delimits.
  • An oblique dividing line to the Formation of the box side edges 32 on the one hand and the Lid side edges 34 on the other hand is here as a continued Punching line of the separating leg 37 is formed.
  • Folding lines 44 running in the longitudinal direction of the blank 35 and 45 in the area of the cover 11 are offset to the outside the corresponding fold lines 38 arranged. same for for punching lines 46, 47.
  • the folding lines 44, 45 serve for lateral Limitation of the lid front wall 17 and the lid rear wall 18.
  • the extension of the fold lines 44, 45 Punching lines 46, 47 delimit the end wall 21.
  • Folding lines 44, 45 and punching lines 46, 47 are at a greater distance from one another than the fold lines 38 from each other. This makes the walls of the lid 11 formed with a greater width than that corresponding walls of the box part 10. The lid 11 can thereby constrain the box part 10 when closed Hold the hinged box on all sides in the upper area (Fig. 2 and Fig. 5).
