Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for identifying one or more smoking articles. Further, it relates to a smoking article package with one or more labeled smoking articles.
- smoking articles in particular cigarettes with and without filters, can carry inscriptions on the wrappers, the cigarette paper or the tipping paper of the filter.
- the labels can serve the information of the consumer or advertising purposes. Examples of this are, for example, in the WO 00/41581 , of the DE 198 39 982 A1 , of the FR 1.541.984 or the JP 082 38 083 to find.
- all cigarettes of a pack are printed, especially the same printed. This can be achieved in a simple way so that the cigarette paper is printed before the cigarette is produced.
- the US 2002/0046079 A1 which discloses all features in the preamble of claim 1, describes a method of varying the packaging of like products.
- a method is described for packaging cigarettes, wherein the cigarettes are placed in individual packages made of paper, which are slightly longer and denser than the cigarette paper, whereby the individual packages can be individually printed. These individual packages are prepared in advance to then place the cigarettes in them.
- the WO 00/41581 A describes a cigarette with advertising. The printing takes place during the production of the paper, long before the cigarettes are produced for one pack.
- the DE 299 22 718 U1 describes a cigarette, cigar or cigarillo, wherein the paper sleeve of the cigarette or the outer or cover sheet of the cigar or cigarillos consists of a colored with a food coloring or outside coated cigarette paper, outer or cover sheet.
- the marking should be incorporated into the normal production process and carried out at normal production speeds.
- the labeling in the packaging process is only applied to the smoking article (s) when the smoking articles have already been selected for packaging.
- the printing of the smoking article or cigarette takes place as short as possible before the final actual packaging.
- a place and time in the packaging process makes sense on which the smoking article or cigarettes are already defined for a particular pack, so that according to the invention advantageously ensures that only and just a certain and defined number of smoking articles with the desired label in a package gets into it.
- the application of the label may preferably be made after the smoking articles have been assembled for packaging in the smoking article or cigarette packaging machine. After the sorting unit, a corresponding identification means would then also be arranged.
- An advantageous place for the application of the marking is the area of the pocket chain of a cigarette packaging machine. There, the smoking articles or cigarettes are already sorted in the defined number for a pack.
- the labeling can be done by a printing process, so for example by inkjet printing or laser printing, but it is also possible to choose a removal process, so for example to install a laser, the material of the envelope of the smoking article ab staff and thus allows labeling.
- the application of the label is carried out when pushing out the smoking article from a pocket of the bag chain, in particular by means of a relative to the bag stationary identification means.
- the identification means can be arranged particularly advantageous because it does not have to be moved, and the Ausschiebeterrorism generates the necessary linear feed for the progress of the label, so for example for the application of a label.
- a single or multiple tags may be used to identify multiple smoking articles.
- at most 50% of the smoking articles are labeled for packaging, specifically at most three and more specifically only one smoking article.
- Cigarettes are assembled in packs to form so-called cigarette blocks before being packaged and transported in pocket chains within the packaging machine.
- a cigarette block 1 is shown in a bag 2 in side view.
- the cigarettes are shown in three layers with 8, 7 and 8 cigarettes.
- FIG. 2 the bag chain of a cigarette packaging machine is shown schematically in plan view.
- the cigarette blocks 1 are transported, in the illustrated example according to the direction of the arrow from right to left.
- the cigarette blocks arrive in a position of the machine in which the cigarette blocks are pushed out of the pockets by an aid in order to be enveloped by another machine part, eg a transport wheel and then wrapped with a first envelope, the inner liner.
- the pushing-out aid is shown as a movable punch 4.
- FIG. 3 shown machine position the cigarette block has just been pushed out of the pocket and the movable punch 4 returned to its rest position. This movement is common in commercially available machines.
- FIG. 4 shows the printing unit 5 can be seen here above the pocket.
- the actually effective print head 6 is represented by the circle.
- the printhead is above the Abschiebepfad a particular cigarette 7 that exactly this cigarette can be printed.
- the position of the print head is adjustable, so that even with other numbers of cigarettes per layer a cigarette can be selectively printed. It is also possible in this way to determine whether a cigarette should be printed in the middle of the uppermost layer or at its edge.
- FIG. 5 the expulsion of the cigarette block 1 from the bag 2 is shown.
- the movable punch 4 moves forward and dives into the pocket 2. This is shown by the dashed representation of the partially hidden stamp.
- the stationary printhead uses the movement of the cigarette to print an inscription with an adjustable text or other characters on the cigarette 7 over an adjustable length.
- the movement of the cigarettes which is anyway necessary for the packaging process, is therefore advantageously used for the advance of the printing.
- the machine cycle can be used, as well as special sensors (not shown in the figure) which detect the position of the cigarette.
- the labeling method according to the invention can be carried out at the normal speeds of the packaging machine during production. No special handling of the cigarettes is necessary and can therefore be integrated directly into existing packaging machines. Above all, no additional movements of cigarettes or printing units are required at the high production speeds.
- Additional embodiments within the scope of the present invention are feasible for transporting the cigarettes during transport of the not yet enveloped cigarette block, e.g. also in the pocket chain, to be printed. For this, e.g. also the printheads are moved.

Ferner betrifft sie eine Rauchartikelverpackung mit einem oder einzelnen gekennzeichneten Rauchartikeln.The invention relates to a method and a device for identifying one or more smoking articles. Further, it relates to a smoking article package with one or more labeled smoking articles.
Aus dem Stand der Technik ist bekannt, dass Rauchartikel, insbesondere Zigaretten mit und ohne Filter, auf den Umhüllungen, dem Zigarettenpapier oder dem Belagpapier des Filters, Beschriftungen tragen können. Die Beschriftungen können der Information des Konsumenten dienen oder auch Werbezwecken. Beispiele hierfür sind z.B. in der

Es ist die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung bereitzustellen, welche die Nachteile des Standes der Technik überwindet. Insbesondere soll sichergestellt werden, dass garantiert eine definierte Zahl von Rauchartikeln bzw. Zigaretten in einer Packung mit Text oder sonstigen Zeichen gekennzeichnet ist. Die Kennzeichnung soll dabei in den normalen Produktionsablauf eingegliedert sein und bei normalen Produktionsgeschwindigkeiten erfolgen.It is the object of the present invention to provide a method and an apparatus which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art. In particular, it should be ensured that a defined number of articles of smoking or cigarettes is guaranteed in a pack with text or other signs. The marking should be incorporated into the normal production process and carried out at normal production speeds.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch ein Verfahren gemäß dem Anspruch 1 und eine Vorrichtung gemäß dem Anspruch 8 gelöst. Die Unteransprüche beschreiben bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung.This object is achieved by a method according to
Nach der Lehre der vorliegenden Erfindung wird die Kennzeichnung im Verpackungsprozess erst dann auf den oder die Rauchartikel aufgebracht, wenn die Rauchartikel für eine Verpackung bereits definiert ausgewählt sind. Was die Vorrichtung betrifft bedeutet dies, dass erfindungsgemäß mindestens ein Kennzeichnungsmittel an einer Stelle einer Rauchartikel- bzw. Zigarettenverpackungsmaschine angeordnet ist, an der die Rauchartikel für eine Verpackung bereits definiert ausgewählt sind.According to the teaching of the present invention, the labeling in the packaging process is only applied to the smoking article (s) when the smoking articles have already been selected for packaging. As far as the device is concerned, this means that according to the invention at least one identification means is arranged at a location of a smoking article or cigarette packaging machine on which the smoking articles for a packaging are already defined.
Mit anderen Worten findet die Bedruckung der Rauchartikel bzw. Zigaretten erst möglichst kurze vor der letztendlichen tatsächlichen Verpackung statt. Insbesondere ist ein Ort und Zeitpunkt im Verpackungsprozess sinnvoll, an dem die Rauchartikel bzw. Zigaretten für eine bestimmte Packung schon definiert sind, so dass erfindungsgemäß vorteilhafterweise sichergestellt ist, dass nur und gerade eine bestimmte und definierte Anzahl von Rauchartikeln mit der gewünschten Kennzeichnung in eine Verpackung hinein gelangt.In other words, the printing of the smoking article or cigarette takes place as short as possible before the final actual packaging. In particular, a place and time in the packaging process makes sense on which the smoking article or cigarettes are already defined for a particular pack, so that according to the invention advantageously ensures that only and just a certain and defined number of smoking articles with the desired label in a package gets into it.
Die Aufbringung der Kennzeichnung kann vorzugsweise nach dem Zusammenstellen der Rauchartikel für eine Verpackung in der Rauchartikel- bzw. Zigarettenverpackungsmaschine erfolgen. Nach der Sortiereinheit wäre dann auch ein entsprechendes Kennzeichnungsmittel angeordnet.The application of the label may preferably be made after the smoking articles have been assembled for packaging in the smoking article or cigarette packaging machine. After the sorting unit, a corresponding identification means would then also be arranged.
Ein vorteilhafter Ort für die Aufbringung der Kennzeichnung ist der Bereich der Taschenkette eine Zigarettenverpackungsmaschine. Dort liegen die Rauchartikel bzw. Zigaretten schon in der definierten Anzahl für eine Packung geordnet vor.An advantageous place for the application of the marking is the area of the pocket chain of a cigarette packaging machine. There, the smoking articles or cigarettes are already sorted in the defined number for a pack.
Die Kennzeichnung kann durch einen Druckvorgang, also beispielsweise durch Tintenstrahldruck oder Laserdruck erfolgen, es ist aber auch möglich, einen Abtragungsvorgang zu wählen, also beispielsweise einen Laser zu installieren, der Material der Umhüllung des Rauchartikels abträgt und somit eine Kennzeichnung gestattet.The labeling can be done by a printing process, so for example by inkjet printing or laser printing, but it is also possible to choose a removal process, so for example to install a laser, the material of the envelope of the smoking article abträgt and thus allows labeling.
In besonders vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung erfolgt die Aufbringung der Kennzeichnung beim Ausschieben der Rauchartikel aus einer Tasche der Taschenkette, insbesondere mittels eines gegenüber der Tasche stillstehenden Kennzeichnungsmittels. Dabei läßt sich das Kennzeichnungsmittel besonders vorteilhaft anordnen, da es nicht bewegt werden muss, und die Ausschiebebewegung erzeugt den nötigen linearen Vorschub für den Fortschritt der Kennzeichnung, also beispielsweise für das Aufbringen einer Beschriftung.In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the application of the label is carried out when pushing out the smoking article from a pocket of the bag chain, in particular by means of a relative to the bag stationary identification means. In this case, the identification means can be arranged particularly advantageous because it does not have to be moved, and the Ausschiebebewegung generates the necessary linear feed for the progress of the label, so for example for the application of a label.
Ein einziges oder mehrere Kennzeichnungsmittel, also beispielsweise ein Druckkopf oder mehrere Druckköpfe können verwendet werden, um mehrere Rauchartikel zu kennzeichnen. Dabei werden insbesondere höchstens 50% der Rauchartikel für eine Verpackung gekennzeichnet, speziell höchstens drei und noch spezieller nur ein Rauchartikel.A single or multiple tags, such as a printhead or multiple printheads, may be used to identify multiple smoking articles. In particular, at most 50% of the smoking articles are labeled for packaging, specifically at most three and more specifically only one smoking article.
