Definitions

  • the invention relates to a box, in particular for packaging and storage of cigarillos, with a lid part and a bottom part, the first two each and have two second tabs, each on opposite edges extend the base of the cover part and lower part.
  • Such boxes are designed as hinged-lid or slip-lid boxes, where in the first case a hinge extends on one of the sides of the box, around which the cover part is pivotable.
  • Known boxes are out a cover part, a lower part and a frame, the width of which The inside height of the box corresponds.
  • Such boxes are made by the frame is inserted into the lower part and then with the tabs of the Lower part is glued. Then the cover part is placed on the frame, the vertically standing tabs of the lid part and the lower part blunt clash. After applying a paper cover, it is used in the production a hinged lid box cut through on three sides, during the Separation cut for slip lid boxes on all four sides of the box.
  • the non-severed paper cover on the fourth page serves as a hinge around which the cover part can be pivoted accordingly.
  • a box of the type mentioned is known from FR235065. Similar as in DE2418694, the frame of vertical tabs of the Lower part of the box formed. The cover part also has four vertically kinked Tabs that are pushed over the vertical tabs of the lower part and glued to them. To be able to open the box again, a cut is made on three sides, which is the tabs of the ceiling part severed on three sides. This box also has a label sheet glued over the cover part, which is also cut during the separating cut.
  • a cigarette box is known from US Pat. No. 3,342,399, which consists of an inner box just like an outer box that completely encloses this.
  • the outer box has both its bottom part and its Ceiling part of vertically kinked brackets that lie on top of each other.
  • At the corners are dust flaps formed between the side flaps of the top and of the lower part and be completely glued to both.
  • To the Being able to open the box again is a rough cut here too halfway up the box along three sides. This will both the flaps formed on the base part and the flaps formed on the cover part Tabs cut through. Only the separate inner box remains on hers Side walls intact.
  • Dust flaps further reinforced the box and against the ingress of dust to be protected. Due to the severing of the tabs of the lid part and of the bottom part, however, a separate inner box is necessary, so that ultimately the material and folding effort is considerable.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of being stable and Easy to create box that doesn't have a separate paper cover needed.
  • This task is based on a generic box according to the invention solved in that the first and / or second tabs of the cover part and / or lower part have dust flaps that in the end region of the flaps are arranged that in each corner area of the box at least one dust flap is provided, the total height in the corner area approximately the inner height of the Box corresponds, with each dust flap separated by a cut in two Dust flap parts is divided, each of which has a dust flap part alone a tab of the lid part and a dust tab part alone with a tab of the Lower part is glued.
  • the lid part has four tabs, two of which have dust tabs.
  • the bottom part has four tabs without dust tabs, which after positioning in one suitable device can be glued together.
  • the Andes Corner areas of the box present column between the first and second Tabs of the lid and / or lower part are covered according to the invention by that dust flaps are provided on the cover, which are over this column extend and thus ensure a dustproof arrangement. For this it is necessary that their total height in each of the corner areas is approximately the inside height corresponds to the box in order to effectively cover the entire length of the gap.
  • the paper cover used in generic boxes the next The creation of a hinge also serves the appropriate edges Covering them dust-tight is therefore unnecessary.
  • the configuration according to the invention the tabs on the lid part makes it possible to provide a box that is composed of only two parts and all requirements, such as Imprint, Dust tightness and pivotability of the cover part, fulfilled.
  • the Dust flaps are arranged at both ends of the first flaps of the cover part. It is thus possible to like the lower part of the box according to the invention in generic boxes with four flaps that are on opposite sides Extend edges of the base of the lower part.
  • the cover part has a total of four dust flaps, which are located on both ends of the first tabs of the cover part and thus before pivoting substantially parallel to the second tabs of the Extend the lid part of the box.
  • the dust tabs a height that corresponds approximately to the inside height of the box.
  • the second tab of the lid part can be carried out without dust flaps in this case.
  • the length the dust flaps corresponds to the height of the second flaps of the cover part.
  • the cover part is made of one Base body can be produced, the dimensions of which correspond to the dimensions of the cover part corresponds if the first and second tabs are not pivoted but instead extend parallel to the base.
  • the dust flaps be made simply by the fact that on opposite sides of the Basic body between the second tabs of the cover part and the dust tabs A cutout is created that separates the dust flaps from the second flaps separates.
  • the dust flaps can be on the two ends of the first flaps of the cover part be arranged. In this case, the dust flaps only have one height, which is approximately the distance of the separating cut to the base of the cover part or lower part corresponds.
  • the total height of the dust flaps of the lid part in each of the Corner areas of the box roughly their inner height.
  • the dust tabs on the second tabs of the cover part and, for example, alternately on the first and second tabs are arranged.
  • the box is designed as a hinged-lid box is and the tab of the cover part, on the side of which the hinge of Box, a fold or a separating cut bridged by webs having. Since a paper cover is not necessary according to the invention, the function in this case the hinge is taken over by a tab of the cover part, that is prepared accordingly. Extend the fold or parting cut over the entire length of the tab, so that a smooth pivoting of the cover part is possible.
  • the cover part and the lower part consist of cardboard coated at least on one side. It can the coating is on the inside or outside of the box, each after which side such a configuration is needed.
  • the usage of cardboard as a box material enables a relatively inexpensive Production of the boxes according to the invention and, moreover, a simple one Manufactureability of the cover part and the lower part with arranged thereon Tabs or dust tabs. The creation of folds or separating cuts is easily possible when using cardboard.
  • the cover part and / or the lower part is printed.
  • the box is thus first the cover part or the lower part with a Imprinted and then by creating appropriate Cutouts or folds formed the tabs and dust tabs. It is therefore no longer necessary the use of printed paper covers in generic Boxes are commonly used. Is a special one for the imprint
  • the nature of the cover part or lower part is required, for example be applied by means of a coating before printing.
  • top shows a top view of the lid part 20, the opposite each other Edges of the base 21 two first tabs 22 and two second tabs 24 has. Are located at the two end regions of the two first tabs 22 the dust flaps 26, of which the cover part 20 accordingly has four pieces.
