Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing (cigarette) packages according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 8 for carrying out the manufacturing method.
  • a well-known cigarette pack of this type has an inner pack in which a group of cigarettes is enveloped partially or predominantly by an inner collar as a support and protective organ.
  • the inner collar of thin cardboard with the cigarette group is completely surrounded by a thermally sealable film to form the inner package.
  • the film is sealed by means of sealing seams on the originally open sides.
  • a transverse or longitudinal connection seam has been created as a tubular seam, namely when joining edges of a continuous film web, which is folded around a tube around successively transported cigarette groups with inner collar - cigarette block - folded around.
  • the invention is concerned with a further development of the manufacturing technology for such or similar packages.
  • the task is to do that Manufacturing process and the device in such a way that with high-performance production high-quality (sealing) packs arise.
  • the inventive method with the features of claim 1 and the device according to the invention with the features of claim 8 is formed.
  • the invention is based on the recognition that in a first step for the production of the sealing block - inner packing - by (in production) transversely sealed seams - side seams - and simultaneously performed separating cut the inner pack is separated from the subsequent (tubular) film web. This process requires a certain distance of the sealed seam or side seam from the package contents, namely a cigarette group.
  • the innovative method step is that in a subsequent sealing cycle parallel sealing seams - part seams - are attached, immediately adjacent to the packing wall side wall. In this second sealing step, the tension in the envelope is increased, so that a dimensionally stable, precisely formed (inner) package is formed.
  • An equally important measure for providing a precisely formed (inner) package is to expel excess air within the package out of it, via specially positioned air openings that are closed after removal of the excess air.
  • Oversize lateral fins are reduced to the size of the package (inner sidewall) by separating a trim strip or by zig-zag folding.
  • the fins, including the transverse hose seam, are preferably fixed by means of heat in the end position (contact with a packing wall).
  • the present innovation is concerned with the manufacture and handling of substantially parallelepipedic packages in the form of a packing or inner package 10.
  • This consists of a film blank which completely surrounds the contents of the package - a cigarette group 11 of cigarettes 12 arranged in rows.
  • the envelope preferably consists of moisture and aroma-tight, thermally sealable film.
  • the cigarette group 11 is at least partially surrounded by a protective and supporting member, namely an inner collar 13, within the film envelope.
  • the U-shaped inner collar 13 has a front or top wall 61 and transverse side tabs 62, the latter in the region of inner side walls 14, 15 of the inner package 10.

  • a removal opening (not shown) of the inner package 10 extends in the region of an inner end wall 16 and preferably adjacent areas of inner front wall 17 and inner rear wall 18.
  • the closure means is an outer closure tab 19.
  • a special feature is the design and arrangement of seals produced by thermal sealing. These can be arranged on opposite sides or walls of the inner package 10, in the present case in the region of the inner side walls 14, 15.
  • the closure seams-side seams 20 extend over the full length or height of the inner side walls 14, 15 and are formed as a fin seam.
  • the production or attachment of the side seams 20 is integrated into the manufacturing process of the inner package 10.
  • the cigarette group 11 - with inner collar 13 - is enveloped by a continuous film web (not shown) to form a film tube with internally arranged package contents.
  • Sealing members in the present case sealing rollers 21 with radially directed sealing jaws 22, generate the transverse side seams 20 between successive groups of cigarettes 11.
  • the resultant inner package 10 is separated from the subsequent film tube in the region of the double-width side seams 20 by a severing knife.
  • Inner packs 10 are now transported with closure or side seams 20 pointing transversely to the conveying direction, namely on a packing belt 23.
  • the inner packs 10 are corresponding during this phase Fig. 1 formed, namely with side seams or part seams 24, which have a greater distance from the package contents or from the inner side wall 14, 15 in the final version.
  • further partial seams are applied, in addition to the partial seam 24, directly on the inner side wall 14, 15.
  • These further partial seams in the finished inner package 10 form the side seams 20 accordingly Fig. 3, Fig. 4 ,
  • the initially resulting double-wide sealing seams (fin seams) 20/24 are severed in the longitudinal direction, so that an edge-side parting strip 25 is produced as a waste product.
  • the remaining, narrow seam strip - with the side seam 20 - is folded over under contact with the side wall 14, 15, so that a total exactly cuboidal shape of the inner package 10 is formed with the side seam 20.
  • the inner package 10 thus formed preferably finds accommodation in an outer package 26, in this case in the form of a folding box or hinged lid. Accordingly, the package consists of a (lower) box part 27 and a hinged lid 28 connected thereto. In the outer package or in the box part 27, in the present case, a collar 29 is attached. This one points a collar front wall with recess 30, in the area of the exposed closure label 19 for opening and closing the inner pack 10 can be detected.
