Definitions
- the invention relates to packages for cigarettes or other elongate smoking articles having the features of the preamble of claim 1 or claim 2 or claim 10. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing packaging.
- the measures according to claim 1 and claim 2 are directed to ensure an enlarged interior of the outer pack by omitting a usual collapsible box collar.
- the inner pack is therefore immediately adjacent to the side walls of the box part and the lid of the folding box.
- the measures of claim 1 and claim 2 ensure that when opening and in particular when closing the lid of the outer packaging collisions with the sealing block, in particular with the lateral fin seams caused by the lid side walls are avoided.
- Another, even independently usable measure for influencing the effective dimensions of the inner pack relates to the design of a support or protective element for a group of cigarettes within the film or sealing pack as an inner pack.
- This designated as inner collar or tray organ is cup-shaped with tray sidewalls, which are formed from Tray- side lobes, with external tray side lobes create special space due to special design, especially due to reduced width on the outside of the tray in the area the (folded ) Flossenseähte the film wrapping are positioned, resulting in a reduced gross dimension.
- Another, even independent measure consists in a special formation of the cigarette group as a package contents.
- the cigarettes are arranged according to the invention in aligned transverse rows with three cigarettes per transverse row and with at least one row of cigarettes from only two adjacent cigarettes, preferably in the range of a middle row, preferably the cigarettes of the reduced transverse row in an offset (saddle) position to the cigarettes two adjacent rows of three are arranged.
- the special formation of the cigarettes facilitates the removal of the (first) cigarettes when putting the pack into use. Particularly good results can be achieved if the aforementioned measures are used completely.
- the result is a cigarette pack with substantially standard transverse dimensions and with slightly greater depth. This result is in line with the practice's claim that the breadth of the package plays a key role in completing the pack, storing it and marketing it.
- a likewise independently applicable innovation relates to (cigarette) packages with several, preferably two juxtaposed, self-contained foil or sealing blocks with an independent opening aid, so that the possibly equipped with different cigarettes cigarette blocks can be opened and closed again independently.
- the cigarette blocks are produced from a common blank, in particular as part of a continuous film web or a film tube, the cigarette blocks of a package in the region of the mutually facing sides by a corresponding portion of the film tube and with corresponding, substantially V-shaped fold remain in communication ,
- a special feature is the production of the unit of two (or more) interconnected by the film cigarette blocks.

- Fig. 22 shows a detail, namely a cross section in the sectional plane XXII- XXII of Fig. 20, on an enlarged scale.
- the innovative cigarette pack consists in the basic structure of an outer pack 10 and an inner pack 11.
- the former is designed as a hard pack - made of thin cardboard -, especially in the design as a folding box.
- a box part 12 and a lid 13 are integrally connected with each other, due to a back line joint 14 between the box part 12 and the lid 13.
- the - cuboid - inner pack 1 1 is designed as a film pack or as a seal with a film envelope 15 preferably made of moisture and aroma-resistant material.
- the film is sealable for the production of seams, alternatively by thermal sealing or by cold sealing.
- Package contents are a group of cigarettes of cigarettes preferably arranged in a special formation. These are positioned in transverse rows. Each transverse row consists of several, preferably three cigarettes 17, which are centrally supported in the transverse direction and preferably also in the longitudinal direction. At least one of the transverse rows of cigarettes consists of a small number of cigarettes. Preferably, at least one intermediate row 19 is provided with two juxtaposed cigarettes, which are arranged offset, ie in the saddle position, to the cigarettes 17 of the adjacent transverse rows 18.
- the intermediate row 19 is positioned centrally within the cigarette group 16. On both sides of the intermediate row 19 so two sub-groups of cigarettes, each with three rows of transverse 18 thus with a total of nine cigarettes 17. In this formation, the removal of the first cigarettes when putting the pack is facilitated.
- the film wrapping 15 may directly surround the cigarette group 16.
- the cigarette group 16 within the inner pack 11 is (partially) surrounded by a support or protection element, namely an inner collar or of a tray 20, preferably of thin cardboard.
- the tray 20 is present cup-shaped from a blank of FIG. 5 or as shown in FIG. 14 with successive areas for a tray front wall 21, a tray bottom wall 22 and a tray rear wall 23. Tray side tabs 24 are attached to the tray front wall 21, which with other tray side tabs 25 at the Tray rear wall 23 in finished folded tray 20 due to a (partial) cover tray side walls 26 form.
- the individual walls or folding flaps of the blank are delimited from each other by longitudinal fold lines 27 and transverse fold lines 28, wherein the fold lines 27, 28 can be formed as embossing or as (partial) punching. Furthermore, the blank for the tray 20 is provided with corner tabs 29, the inner side of the tray bottom wall 22 lie in folded tray 20 and in particular with the (inner) tray side tabs 24, 25 are connected foldable.
- a unit 30 of cigarette group 16 and tray 20 is preferably made first.
- the blank of the tray 20 is preferably brought into an intermediate fold position (FIGS. 6, 15).
- the blank is in an L-shaped configuration.
- a large-area wall - tray front wall 21 in Fig. 6 and tray back wall 23 in Fig. 15 - forms with erect side tabs 24 or 25 on the front side (and top) open container into which the formed cigarette group 16 on the open front side is inserted (Fig. 6, Fig. 15).
- the tray 20 is folded to completion, wherein preferably the outer side flaps 25 (Fig. 7, Fig. 8) or side flaps 24 (Fig. 15 to Fig.
- glue spots 51 are applied to the side flaps 24, 25 on both sides of the path of movement of the units 30 during transport of the units 30 by fixed glue nozzles 33.
- the unit 30 formed in accordance with FIG. 8, in accordance with FIG. 17 or in another way, is surrounded by the film envelope 15 in such a way that closure or connecting seams preferably result in the design as a fin seam, ie with double-layered fins 32 protruding in the immediate production state.
- closure or connecting seams preferably result in the design as a fin seam, ie with double-layered fins 32 protruding in the immediate production state.
- These are preferably folded against an adjacent wall of the film envelope 15 and the inner package 11 and connected thereto by fixing, gluing or (thermal) sealing.
- the inner package 11 is formed by the film wrapping 15 completely surrounding the cigarette group 16 and the unit 30, respectively, to form the inner front wall 34, the inner rear wall 35, the inner side walls 36, the inner end wall 37 and the inner bottom wall 38
- Film wrapping 15 preferably encloses the content in such a way that side seams 39, 40 arise in the region of the inner side walls 36.
- a transverse seam 41 is formed, which extends in the region of the inner rear wall 35 (FIG. 3) or in the region of the inner front wall 34 (FIG. 12).
- the seams 39, 40, 41 are formed as a fin seam, wherein fins 32 formed by (two) layers of the film envelope 15 are folded against the associated inner wall and fixed thereto.
- the on all sides closed inner pack 11 is provided with an opening aid.
- This consists in particular of an actuating tab 42 which is connected in the region of the inner end wall 37 and adjacent areas of the inner front wall 34 and the inner rear wall 35 with the inner pack 1 by means of adhesive, such that the actuating tab 42 several times in the open position and can be brought back to the closed position.
- an opening tab 44 can be pulled out of the connection with the foil envelope 15, due to adhesive connection to the actuation tab 42. This forms the removal opening 43 released.
- the actuating tab 42 can be manually operated.
- the actuating tab 42 is permanently attached to an edge-side actuating leg 45 on the inside of a lid front wall 46, so that when opening and closing the lid 13, the Betrelincysiasche is moved in the open and closed positions.
- the fins 32 of the connecting seams 39, 40, 41 can be designed in different widths.
- FIGS. 1 to 4 show an embodiment in which the fins 32 are made relatively narrow, if necessary by separating an edge strip, in any case with a width that is significantly less than half the width of the inner side wall 36.
- the thus formed fins of the side seams 39, 40 folded over to the front, ie in the direction of the inner front wall 34th are designed with an "excess width", in particular significantly wider than half the transverse dimension of the inner side walls 36.
- Edge strips of the fins 32 are in folded over the plane of a large inner wall adjoining the inner side walls 36, in particular in the plane of the inner rear wall 35.
- the connecting legs 47 of the fins 32 are therefore on the inner rear wall 35 and are preferably connected by gluing.
- the legs 47 are connected to the rear wall 35 with a number of glue dots 48 lying in an upright position. The construction is such that in a region adjacent to the inner end wall 37, a fastening leg 49 of the actuating tab 42 is covered by frontal ends of the legs 47.
- the transverse seam 41 extends in this embodiment over the full width of the inner package 11 and the fins 32 of the side seams 39, 40, so also into the inner rear wall 35.
- the parts of the pack namely outer pack 10, inner pack 1 1 , . Film wrapping 15 and tray 20 are coordinated so that optimal space utilization is achieved with a predetermined number of cigarettes 17 as package contents.
- the outer side flap 25 connected to the tray rear wall 23 is formed with a smaller width, namely less than half the width, than the inner side flap 24 connected to the tray front wall 21
- the cigarette group 16 is enclosed immediately by a largely closed front wall 21 and side walls 24, which correspond approximately to the dimension of the cigarette group 16.
- the tray back wall 23 is folded after insertion of the cigarette group 16 in the partially folded tray 20 until it rests against the cigarette group 16 (Fig. 7). During further transport, the glue points 31 - by glue nozzles 33 - so on the tray side tabs 24th applied that the subsequently folded outer tray side flap 25 is fixed by the glue points 31.
- the outer side flap 25 is formed in a special way, namely with bevels 53 at preferably both ends.
- the chamfers 53 are arranged and formed with respect to the angle that triangular-shaped folding gussets 54 at the end portions of the inner side walls 26 in the area facing the outer side flap 25 fit in the recess formed by the chamfer 53.
- the (local) multi-ply structure caused by the folding gussets 54 is balanced by a clearance 50 created by the chamfers 53 (FIG. 1).
- the reduced width of the outer side flaps 25 results in a clearance 50 in the remainder of the inner side flap 24.
- the folded fin 32 of the side seams 39, 40 is positioned ( Figure 4).
- a special feature is that the - formed with reduced width - fin 32 of the side seam 39, 40 is folded over to the front of the pack, ie the inner front wall 34.
- the outer, narrower side flap 25 is attached to the tray rear wall 23. The position of the side seam 39, 40 or the fin 32 ensures that the cover 13 of the outer pack 10 can be moved smoothly into the closed position, without a collar in the box part 12.
- a free space is created, in this case in the region of the tray rear wall 23. This is provided with a recess or by punching recess 55 provided. This is located in the region of the transverse seam 41.
- the dimensions, in particular the width or height of the recess 55, are selected such that free space 50 is created above and below the fin 32 of the seam 41, so that the transverse seam 41 reliably enters the recess 55 (FIG. Fig. 3).
- the beveled edges 56, 57 are preferably arranged on that side of the package or unit 30 which has the transverse seam 41 for facilitating the multilayer deflection. Accordingly, in the example according to FIGS. 1 to 8, the oblique edges 56, 57 are assigned to the rear side or the inner rear wall 23. In the embodiment of FIGS. 10 to 17, the beveled edges 56, 57 are located in the area of the front side or the tray front wall 21.
- the front area of the packing or of the sealing block namely the inner packing 1 1
- the tray 20 is aligned with respect to the wall parts. It is also taken into account that the transverse seam 41 extends in the region of the inner front wall 21 and thus in the region of the tray front wall 34. This is - as usual - provided with a recess 58, in the region of the removal opening 43 of the film envelope 15 to allow easier removal of the cigarettes 17.
- the front wall 21 of the tray has a recess 55 formed by punching, which corresponds in function and design to the recess 55 according to FIGS. 5 to 8.
- the (front) transverse seam 41 is located (with a partial section) in the region of the recess 55.
- the wide, approximately over the dimension of the cigarette group 16 extending inner tray side tabs 24 are connected in this embodiment with the tray back wall 23, via Beveled edges with Schrägfaltlinien 56, 57.
- the tray front wall 21 is provided with outer side lobes 25, which are analogous to the embodiment of FIG. 5 to FIG. 8, ie bevels 53 have.
- the corner tabs 29 are shaped here, namely of lesser width, that in the folded position ( Figure 17) they are out of the region of the beveled edges 56, 57 and preferably cover about half the width of the side flap (s) 24 connected to the tray back wall 23.
- the manufacturing or folding process for this alternative packaging design is analogous to the example described:
- the blank of the tray 20 is brought into a first angular or L-shaped folding position (FIG. 15).
- the cigarette group 16 is inserted over the open side, resting on the tray back wall 23.
- the further folding steps are carried out analogously to the described embodiment until the completion of the unit 30 of cigarette group 16 and tray 20 (FIG. 17).
- the inner package 1 is formed in the manner described, but with the differences in design and arrangement of (sealed) seams.
- the transverse seam 41 is arranged in the front region, that is to say in the region of a box front wall 59 of the box part 12, in such a way that the seam 41 lies completely below a closing edge 60 of the box front wall 59.
- the recess 55 can be flush with the closing edge 60, so (about) are at their height.
- the fin 32 of the transverse seam 41 is folded toward the back, that is to say to the rear wall 23 of the tray, and extends with the attachment legs 49 into the area of the tray rear wall 23 or the inner rear wall 35.
- the obliquely arranged bevelled edges 56, 57 facilitate this the shape of the fins of the transverse seam 41.
- the folding box as outer package 10 is preferably formed by default, but without the usual collar, which is fixed in the box part 12 and partially protruding from this.
- the aforementioned side walls 67, 68 usually consist of mutually at least partially overlapping side lobes namely, inner and outer box side flaps, and inner and outer lid side flaps. Accordingly, the inner package 11 abuts directly on inner box side tabs 69 and inner lid side tabs 70. As a result, an optimal use of space in the width of the pack is effected.
- the inner pack 10 can be made in various ways. Thereafter, the units 30 along a packing path with distance from each other and in transverse position of the cigarettes 17 fed to a wrapping station, in which a preferably fed from above the film web 62 - preferably with a finished opening aid - tubular around the continuous Row of units 30 is folded over, wherein a connecting seam - corresponding to the transverse seam 41 - is formed and fixed by sealing in a first sealing station 63. Thereafter, enter the units 30 with the tubular film wrapping in the area of a separating and sealing station 64. In this area At the same time, in the region of the double-width transverse sealing seams, a separating cut is made so that closed inner packings 11 are produced. In this station, the folding gussets 54 are preferably produced by transverse folding members 66. The finished inner packs 11 are fed to a suitable device for introducing the inner packs 11 into the outer packs 10.
- the outer package 10 is preferably designed as a hinged lid box with box part 12 and Lid 13.
- package contents namely as inner package 11
- a plurality of, preferably two adjacent foil blocks 71, 72 are positioned. These can have the same dimensions or the same width so that they side by side within the correspondingly sized outer pack 10 whose interior each fill approximately half.
- the cigarette blocks 71, 72 may also have different widths.
- the cigarettes 17 of the blocks 71, 72 may coincide, but also be formed differently, in particular with different flavors.
- the foil blocks 71, 72 may be independent, unconnected individual blocks, preferably in the structural design of the embodiment described in connection with FIGS. 1 to 9 or also in the embodiment according to FIGS. 10 to 15.
- the cigarette group 16 is (partially) surrounded by an inner collar or tray 20, which preferably consists of a blank analogous to FIG. 5 is formed.
- the unit 30 formed from cigarette group 16 and inner collar or tray 20 corresponds to the embodiment according to FIG. 8.
- tray side tabs 24 and 25 are formed and arranged in the same or similar manner, so that free spaces 50 for the (multi-layer) side seams 39, 40 and the fins 32 formed by these are created.
- the outer package 10 may (alternatively) be provided with a conventional collar 73 in all embodiments ( Figure 18, left portion / Figure 19, right portion).
- the collar 73 consists in the usual way of collar front wall 74 and collar side flaps 75.
- the side seams 40 and the lateral fins 32 are in an outer pack with collar 73 on the side tabs 75 at.
- the formation of the groups of cigarettes 16 may coincide with the arrangement of the exemplary embodiments (FIGS. 6 to 8) or may be deviating, namely in accordance with FIG. 19.
- the foil blocks 71, 72 are connected to each other in an innovative way. This connection results in the present case by a special manufacturing process.
- the units 30 of cigarette group 16 and tray 20, which are produced analogously to the method according to FIGS. 1 to 17, are connected in succession to a film web 62, also in the case of different sizes or designs, analogously to the illustration in FIG 62 will be around with
- the units 30, which are supplied to one another at a predetermined distance, are folded around in a tubular manner to form a connecting seam on the underside, which is at the same time a transverse seam 41 of the film blocks 71, 72.
- the film tube is supplied with the units 30 to the separating and sealing unit 80, which attaches the transverse sealing seams and double blocks 76 of two film blocks 71, 72 produces (Fig. 20). These have side seams 39, 40 in the described embodiment and form a film connection 77 of side seams 39, 40, which are not separated from each other.
- the film connection 77 is created in the region of the separating and sealing unit 80 by a correspondingly designed sealing member, which produces the film seams 71 associated side seams 39, 40 by sealing the film tube, without performing the separation described in connection with FIG. Instead of a separating cut, a weakening line of the film material is created in the region of the film connection 77, in particular a perforation line 78. This lies approximately in the middle between the adjacent sealing seams 39, 40.
- the double block 76 produced in the region of the unit 80 is further processed such that the outer side seams 39, 40 are folded against the inner side walls 36, preferably after separation of an edge-side fin strip 79.
- the film connection 77 is processed, namely folded in a V-shape, such that the free areas of the film connection 77, ie essentially the adjacent side seams 30, 40, are erected and as a folded construct (FIG. 19) between the side walls of the Foil blocks 71, 72 are.
- the position of the folded multilayer film connection 77 on the one hand and the overlapping area of the preferably designed and arranged tray side tabs 24, 25 are coordinated so that the folded areas of the film connection 77 are positioned in the free space 50 created by the side flap cover (FIG. Fig. 19).
- the perforation line 78 ensures a relatively sharp fold line.
- a separating and sealing unit 80 is preferably used, which is formed with different sealing jaws, namely on the one hand with sealing jaws 81, which have a continuous separating knife 82 and perform the separating cut to form a double block unit 76, with simultaneous attachment of the outer side seams 39, 40.
- the other sealing jaw 83 is provided with a perforation knife 84 which - during the production of the side seams 39, 40 in the region of the film connection 77 - the perforation line 78 produces, the double blocks 76 are then transported along a folding path 85. This is preferably directed transversely to the conveyor track in the region of the separating and sealing station.
- the double blocks 76 with spaced-apart film blocks 71, 72 are thus transported with an orientation of the cigarettes in the conveying direction, preferably with the inner bottom wall 38 in the direction of transport front lying.
- the film connections 77 are folded between the film blocks 71, 72 during transport, namely erected in a V-shaped configuration according to FIG. 22, whereby the two film blocks 71, 72 are moved by reducing the distance relative to one another.
- the folding members are preferably composed of cooperating shaping lower and upper rails, in particular in two spaced apart upper rails 86, 87 and from a (partially) lying between them lower rail 88.
- the folding rails 86, 87, 88 are coordinated so that during of the transport, the film connection 77 are brought from the extended starting position into a V-shaped erect form, wherein in the final phase by transverse displacement, the legs of the film connection 77, so the adjacent side seams 39, 40, brought to rest against each other ( Figure 19) ,
- the mold rails 86, 87, 88 are provided with downwardly or upwardly directed shaping edges, in particular with conically or at an acute angle tapering edge regions (FIG. 22).
- the previously prepared foil blocks 71, 72 in the embodiment as a double block 76 are then fed to a sealing unit 89 with lateral Sealing members in the embodiment as rotatable sealing wheels 90 for producing a (second) sealed seam immediately adjacent to the inner side walls 36 of the film blocks 71, 72. It follows a cutting station 91 for separating the side fin strip 79 by preferably rotating cutting discs.
- lateral, stationary pressure elements in this case in the execution of two cooperating circular rails 93, 94. These are effective on both sides of the movement path of the sealing blocks or double blocks 76 in the region of the outer inner side walls 36.
- the stationary round rails 93, 94 extending in the conveying direction are arranged such that the laterally directed outer fins 32 of the side seams 39, 40 are received in a correspondingly dimensioned gap between the round rails 93, 94.
- the round rails 93, 94 are further arranged so that they have a close contact with the sideways directed inner side walls 36, possibly with increasing reduction of the distance of the opposite pairs of the round rails 93, 94.
- the film of the sealing blocks in the transverse direction is tightened or stretched.
- the film blocks 71, 72 are compressed so that they are very close to each other when the double blocks 76 reach the region of the (second) sealing unit 89.
- the double packs 76 ready for packaging are fed to a packing station 92 for introducing the double blocks 76 - possibly with a collar 73 - into a ready-made, partially folded blank of an outer pack 10.
- the procedure for producing the double blocks 76 is analogous to the method described.
- the units 30 off Cigarette group 16 and tray 20 are combined to form a film tube with the continuous film web.
- film blocks 71, 72 of different widths can be produced as part of a double block 76 as a result of corresponding movement sequences (acceleration or deceleration of the folding or sealing tools).
- the foil blocks 71, 72 are configured in the embodiment as a sealing block analogous to the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 17, in particular with an opening aid for each foil block 71, 72. This consists in the usual way of a removal opening 43 and one in the closed position covering operating tab 42.
