Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackung für Zigaretten oder dergleichen, die in einer Innenumhüllung aus Stanniol, Papier oder einer Folie verpackt sind.The invention relates to a packaging for cigarettes or the like, which are packaged in an inner wrapping made of tinfoil, paper or a film.

Für die Verpackung von Zigaretten sind weltweit zwei Typen von Verpackungen besonders verbreitet. Es handelt sich dabei zum einen um Klappschachteln (Hinge-Lid-Packungen) und zum anderen um Weich-(Becher-)Packungen. Die erstgenannte Verpackung wird aus dünnem Karton gefertigt. Ein Klappdeckel ist über eine Gelenkverbindung schwenkbar mit einem Schachtelteil verbunden. Die Zigaretten sind als formierte Zigaretten-Gruppe üblicherweise von einer Innenumhüllung aus Stanniol oder Papier umgeben.Two types of packaging are particularly widespread worldwide for the packaging of cigarettes. These are, on the one hand, folding boxes (hinge-lid packs) and, on the other hand, soft (cup) packs. The first-mentioned packaging is made from thin cardboard. A hinged lid is pivotally connected to a box part via an articulated connection. As a formed cigarette group, the cigarettes are usually surrounded by an inner wrapping made of tin foil or paper.

Zu diesem Verpackungstyp gehört weiterhin ein Kragen, der in den Schachtelteil im Bereich von Vorderwand und schmalen Seitenwänden eingesetzt ist und teilweise aus dem Schachtelteil herausragt. Zur besseren Aromaerhaltung ist die so ausgebildete Klappschachtel mit einer bei Ingebrauchnahme zu entfernenden Außenumhüllung aus einer Folie versehen.This type of packaging also includes a collar that is inserted into the box part in the area of the front wall and narrow side walls and partially protrudes from the box part. For better preservation of aroma, the hinged box thus formed is provided with an outer covering made of a film which is to be removed when put into use.

Bei einer Weichpackung ist die Zigaretten-Gruppe ebenfalls in eine Innenumhüllung verpackt. Die eigentliche Verpackung besteht aus einem Papierzuschnitt, der becherartig gefaltet ist, so daß die Zigaretten-Gruppe mit der Außenumhüllung aus dem oben offenen Becher teilweise herausragt.In the case of a soft pack, the cigarette group is also packed in an inner wrapper. The actual packaging consists of a paper blank that is folded like a cup so that the cigarette group with the outer wrapping partially protrudes from the open cup.

Die Klappschachtel wird besonders wegen der vorteilhaften Handhabbarkeit geschätzt. Zum einen ist die Verpackung formstabil. Zum anderen wird durch den Klappdeckel die Entnahme der Zigaretten erleichtert. Die noch nicht entnommenen Zigaretten werden bei geschlossener Verpackung besonders geschützt gegen mechanische und andere Einflüsse. Nachteilig ist die Klappschachtel wegen des beträchtlichen Materialaufwandes.The hinged box is particularly valued for its advantageous handling. On the one hand, the packaging is dimensionally stable. On the other hand, the hinged lid makes it easier to remove the cigarettes. When the packaging is closed, the cigarettes that have not yet been removed are particularly protected against mechanical and other influences. The folding box is disadvantageous because of the considerable expenditure of material.

Die Weichpackung ist demgegenüber kostengünstiger herstellbar. Nachteilig ist die unbefriedigende Formfestigkeit. Auch ist unerwünscht, daß die geöffnete Verpackung nicht wieder geschlossen werden kann.In contrast, the soft pack is cheaper to produce. The unsatisfactory dimensional stability is disadvantageous. It is also undesirable that the opened packaging cannot be closed again.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen neuartigen Typ einer Verpackung für Zigaretten und ähnliche Produkte vorzuschlagen, der einerseits eine gute Formstabilität aufweist und den Zigaretten einen ausreichenden Schutz gewährt, andererseits aber mit Rücksicht auf den Materialeinsatz kostengünstig gefertigt werden kann.The invention is based on the object of proposing a new type of packaging for cigarettes and similar products which, on the one hand, has good dimensional stability and provides adequate protection for the cigarettes, but on the other hand can be inexpensively manufactured with regard to the use of materials.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist die erfindungsgemäße Verpackung dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß ein Oberteil als Klappschachtel mit Klappdeckel und ein Unterteil als Weichpackung ausgebildet ist und daß Oberteil und Unterteil durch Kleben, Siegeln oder dergleichen miteinander verbunden sind.To achieve this object, the packaging according to the invention is characterized in that an upper part is designed as a hinged box with a hinged lid and a lower part as a soft pack, and that the upper part and the lower part are connected to one another by gluing, sealing or the like.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Verpackung besteht lediglich ein Oberteil aus dünnem Karton. Konstruktiv ist dieses Oberteil wie eine Klappschachtel ausgebildet, also mit einem schwenkbar angebrachten Klappdeckel. Das Unterteil besteht hingegen aus verhältnismäßig dünnem Verpackungsmaterial, zum Beispiel aus Papier. Die konstruktive Ausbildung entspricht der einer Weichpackung. Oberteil und Unterteil sind dauerhaft haltbar miteinander verbunden.In the packaging according to the invention, only an upper part consists of thin cardboard. In terms of design, this upper part is designed like a hinged box, that is, with a hinged hinged lid. The lower part, however, consists of relatively thin packaging material, for example paper. The constructive training corresponds to that of a soft pack. The top and bottom are permanently connected.

Die so ausgebildete Verpackung hat eine günstige Formstabilität durch das verhältnismäßig steife Oberteil. Auch entspricht die Handhabung der einer Klappschachtel. Durch die Verwendung von dünnem Verpackungsmaterial für das Unterteil ist eine kostengünstige Fertigung gewährleistet.The packaging designed in this way has a favorable dimensional stability due to the relatively rigid upper part. The handling corresponds to that of a hinged box. The use of thin packaging material for the lower part ensures cost-effective production.

Die erfindungsgemäße Verpackung ist vorzugsweise mit einem Kragen ausgerüstet. Dieser kann als gesonderter Zuschnitt in der Verpackung angebracht sein. Alternativ kann der Kragen einstückig mit einem Zuschnitt für das Oberteil verbunden sein, und zwar derart, daß der Kragen vom Klappdeckel bzw. der Klappdeckel beim Öffnen vom Kragen abgetrennt wird.The packaging according to the invention is preferably equipped with a collar. This can be attached to the packaging as a separate blank. Alternatively, the collar can be integrally connected to a blank for the upper part, in such a way that the collar is separated from the hinged lid or the hinged lid when opened from the collar.

Ein weiterer Vorschlag der Erfindung besteht darin, daß das Unterteil zugleich Außenumhüllung der Packung ist, die auch das Oberteil vollständig umschließt und mit dessen unterem freien Rand verbunden ist.Another proposal of the invention is that the lower part is at the same time the outer covering of the pack, which also completely surrounds the upper part and is connected to the lower free edge thereof.

Die als Ausführungsbeispiele gezeigten Verpackungen sind quaderförmig ausgebildet und dienen zur Aufnahme von Zigaretten 10. Eine Zigaretten-Gruppe 11 ist - wie bei herkömmlichen Zigaretten-Verpackungen - von einer Innenumhüllung 12 aus Stanniol, Papier oder einer Folie umgeben. Die Zigaretten-Gruppe 11 mit Innenumhüllung 12 bildet einen Zigaretten-Block 13 als Inhalt der Verpackung. Die Innenumhüllung 12 ist, wie bekannt, im oberen Bereich an der Vorderseite mit einem abreißbaren Flap 14 versehen, um einen Teil der Zigaretten 10 für die Entnahme freizulegen.The packagings shown as exemplary embodiments are cuboid and serve to hold cigarettes 10. A cigarette group 11 is - like in conventional cigarette packs - surrounded by an inner wrapping 12 made of tinfoil, paper or a film. The cigarette group 11 with the inner wrapper 12 forms a cigarette block 13 as the content of the packaging. As is known, the inner wrapping 12 is provided in the upper region on the front with a tearable flap 14 in order to expose a portion of the cigarettes 10 for removal.

Die Verpackung besteht aus einem Oberteil 15 und einem Unterteil 16. Bei den gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen sind die Abmessungen so gewählt, daß das Unterteil 16 geringfügig größer bzw. höher ist als das Oberteil 15. Ein ringsherum verlaufender Verbindungsstreifen 17 von Oberteil 15 und Unterteil 16 erstreckt sich geringfügig oberhalb einer (gedachten) mittleren Querebene der Verpackung.The packaging consists of an upper part 15 and a lower part 16. In the exemplary embodiments shown, the dimensions are chosen such that the lower part 16 is slightly larger or higher than the upper part 15. A connecting strip 17 extending all around extends from the upper part 15 and the lower part 16 slightly above an (imaginary) central transverse plane of the packaging.

Oberteil 15 und Unterteil 16 bestehen aus verschiedenen Verpackungsmaterialien und sind unterschiedlich ausgebildet. Das Oberteil 15 ist nach Art einer Klappschachtel (Hinge-Lid-Packung) ausgebildet. Das Unterteil 16 entspricht einem Teilbereich einer Weichpackung.Upper part 15 and lower part 16 consist of different packaging materials and are designed differently. The upper part 15 is designed in the manner of a hinged box (hinge-lid pack). The lower part 16 corresponds to a partial area of a soft pack.

Das Oberteil 15 besteht aus (dünnem) Karton. Ein Klappdeckel 18 ist wie bei einer Klappschachtel ausgebildet. Des weiteren ist ein bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel aus einem gesonderten Zuschnitt bestehender Kragen 19 mit Kragen-Vorderwand 20 und Kragen-Seitenwänden 21 vorgesehen. Dieser wird bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 1 bis 5 auf den vorher fertiggestellten Zigaretten-Block 13 positionsgerecht aufgelegt (Fig. 3) und sodann mit diesem verpackt.The upper part 15 consists of (thin) cardboard. A hinged lid 18 is designed like a hinged box. Furthermore, in this embodiment, a collar 19 consisting of a separate blank is provided with a collar front wall 20 and collar side walls 21. In the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 5, this is placed in the correct position on the previously completed cigarette block 13 (FIG. 3) and then packaged with the latter.

Oberteil 15 und Unterteil 16 bestehen jeweils aus gesonderten, einstückigen Zuschnitten. Der Zuschnitt für das Oberteil 15 ist in Fig. 4 und der Zuschnitt für das Unterteil 16 in Fig. 5 in ausgebreitetem Zustand gezeigt. Das Oberteil besteht danach aus einer Rückwand 22 von geringer Höhe. An den Seiten derselben befinden sich Seitenlappen 23 zur Bildung von Seitenwänden des Oberteils 15. Die übrigen Teile des Zuschnitts gemäß Fig. 4 bilden den Klappdeckel 18. Eine Deckel-Rückwand 24 ist über eine Gelenklinie 25 mit der Rückwand 22 verbunden. An der Deckelrückwand sind seitlich Deckel-Seitenlappen 26 angeordnet. Die Seitenlappen 23 und die Deckel-Seitenlappen 26 sind durch einen bei Klappschachteln üblichen Schrägschnitt 27 voneinander getrennt.Upper part 15 and lower part 16 each consist of separate, one-piece blanks. The cut for the upper part 15 is shown in FIG. 4 and the cut for the lower part 16 in FIG. 5 in the expanded state. The top is made up then from a rear wall 22 of low height. On the sides thereof there are side tabs 23 for forming side walls of the upper part 15. The remaining parts of the blank according to FIG. 4 form the hinged lid 18. A lid rear wall 24 is connected to the rear wall 22 via an articulated line 25. Lid side tabs 26 are arranged laterally on the lid rear wall. The side flaps 23 and the lid side flaps 26 are separated from one another by an oblique cut 27 which is customary in folding boxes.

An die Deckel-Rückwand 24 schließt eine Deckel-Oberwand 28 und an diese eine Deckel-Vorderwand 29 an. Im Bereich der Deckel-Oberwand 28 befinden sich seitlich Ecklappen 30. Diese liegen bei der fertigen Verpackung an der Innenseite der Deckel-Oberwand 28 an. Mit der Deckel-Vorderwand 29 sind trapezförmige äußere Deckel-Seitenlappen 31 verbunden, die zusammen mit den Deckel-Seitenlappen 26 Seitenwände des Klappdeckels 18 bilden. Die Deckel-Seitenlappen 26 einerseits und 31 andererseits sind durch Klebung miteinander verbunden.A lid top wall 28 adjoins the lid rear wall 24 and a lid front wall 29 adjoins this. In the area of the top cover wall 28 there are side flaps 30. These lie on the inside of the top cover wall 28 when the packaging is finished. Trapezoidal outer lid side tabs 31 are connected to the lid front wall 29, which together with the lid side tabs 26 form side walls of the hinged lid 18. The cover side tabs 26 on the one hand and 31 on the other hand are connected to one another by adhesive bonding.

Das Oberteil 15 ist im vorliegenden Falle ohne Vorderwand ausgebildet. Die Funktion der Vorderwand übernimmt der Kragen 19 bzw. die Kragen-Vorderwand 20. Die Kragen-Seitenwände 21 sind mit den Seitenlappen 23 verbunden, so daß das Oberteil 15 mit dem Kragen 19 eine Einheit bildet. Der Kragen 19 ist in Schließstellung der Packung in üblicherweise in einem (oberen) Teilbereich von dem Klappdeckel 18 umschlossen.The upper part 15 is formed in the present case without a front wall. The function of the front wall is performed by the collar 19 or the collar front wall 20. The collar side walls 21 are connected to the side tabs 23, so that the upper part 15 forms a unit with the collar 19. In the closed position of the pack, the collar 19 is usually enclosed by the hinged lid 18 in an (upper) partial area.

Der z. B. aus Papier bestehende Zuschnitt (Fig. 5) für das Unterteil 16 ist rechteckig ausgebildet. Der Zuschnitt bildet eine Vorderwand 32, eine Rückwand 33 und eine dazwischenliegende Seitenwand 34. Eine gegenüberliegende Seitenwand wird durch einen Seitenlappen 35 am Rand des Zuschnitts gebildet. Der Seitenlappen 35 ist durch Klebung mit einem auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite am Zuschnitt angebrachten Verbindungsstreifen 36 verbunden. Eine Bodenwand wird aus kuvertartig gefalteten Bodenlappen 37, 38 gebildet. Diese sind miteinander verklebt. Es entsteht dadurch ein becherartiges Unterteil 16.The z. B. existing paper blank (Fig. 5) for the lower part 16 is rectangular. The blank forms a front wall 32, a rear wall 33 and an intermediate side wall 34. An opposite side wall is formed by a side tab 35 on the edge of the blank. The side tab 35 is bonded to a connecting strip 36 attached to the blank on the opposite side. A bottom wall is formed from bottom flaps 37, 38 folded like an envelope. These are glued together. This creates a cup-like lower part 16.

Oberteil 15 und Unterteil 16 sind im Bereich des Verbindungsstreifens 17 durch Klebung miteinander verbunden. Ein oberer, freier Rand des Unterteils 16 überdeckt im Bereich des Verbindungsstreifens 17 den unteren, freien Rand des Oberteils 15 bzw. des Kragens 19 (Kragen-Vorderwand 20). Die Abmessungen sind so getroffen, daß ein freier, unterer Rand der Deckel-Vorderwand 29 einem oberen, freien Rand der Vorderwand 32 des Unterteils 16 gegenüberliegt. Die Ränder stoßen in Schließstellung aneinander. Die Ausführungsform der Verpackung gemäß Fig. 6 bis 8 entspricht im prinzipiellen Aufbau demjenigen des vorstehend beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiels. Eine Besonderheit besteht darin, daß der Kragen 19 einstückig mit dem Karton-Zuschnitt für das Oberteil 15 verbunden ist (Fig. 8). Das Oberteil 15 und der Kragen 19 bilden demnach einen gemeinsamen, einstückigen Zuschnitt.Upper part 15 and lower part 16 are connected to one another in the region of the connecting strip 17 by gluing. An upper, free edge of the lower part 16 covers the lower, free edge of the upper part 15 or the collar 19 (collar front wall 20) in the region of the connecting strip 17. The dimensions are such that a free, lower edge of the lid front wall 29 is opposite an upper, free edge of the front wall 32 of the lower part 16. The edges meet in the closed position. The embodiment of the packaging according to FIGS. 6 to 8 corresponds in principle to that of the above described embodiment. A special feature is that the collar 19 is integrally connected to the cardboard blank for the upper part 15 (Fig. 8). The upper part 15 and the collar 19 therefore form a common, one-piece blank.

Zu diesem Zweck schließt an einen freien, äußeren Rand der Deckel-Vorderwand 29 ein Faltlappen an, nämlich ein Deckel-Innenlappen 39. Dieser ist bei der fertiggefalteten Verpackung gegen die Innenseite der Deckel-Vorderwand 29 umgefaltet und mit dieser zweckmäßigerweise durch Klebung verbunden (Fig. 7).For this purpose, a folding flap adjoins a free, outer edge of the lid front wall 29, namely a lid inner flap 39. In the fully folded packaging, this is folded over against the inside of the lid front wall 29 and expediently connected to it by adhesive (FIG 7).

Der Zuschnitt für den Kragen 19 ist bei dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel mit dem Deckel-Innenlappen 39 verbunden, und zwar leicht abtrennbar. Die Verbindung besteht deshalb hier lediglich in Restverbindungen 40, nämlich Verbindungsstegen aus dem Material des Zuschnitts, an den seitlichen Randbereichen des Deckel-Innenlappens 39 einerseits und an den seitlichen Randbereichen der Kragen-Vorderwand 20 andererseits. Beim vorliegenden Beispiel ist auf jeder Seite eine schmale, stegartige Restverbindung 40 des Verpackungsmaterials gebildet. Im übrigen ist der Zuschnitt des Kragens 19 von dem Zuschnitt des Oberteils 15 durch einen Stanzschnitt 41 getrennt.In the present exemplary embodiment, the blank for the collar 19 is connected to the inner lid flap 39 and can be easily removed. The connection here therefore consists only of residual connections 40, namely connecting webs made of the material of the blank, on the lateral edge regions of the inner lid flap 39 on the one hand and on the lateral edge regions of the collar front wall 20 on the other hand. In the present example, a narrow, web-like residual connection 40 of the packaging material is formed on each side. Otherwise, the cut of the collar 19 is separated from the cut of the upper part 15 by a punch cut 41.

Bei dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel schließt an die dem Kragen 19 zugekehrte Seite des Deckel-Innenlappens 39 ein zungenförmiger Faltlappen 42 an. Dieser liegt bei der fertiggefalteten Packung an der Innenseite der Deckel-Oberwand 28 bzw. an den Ecklappen 30 des Klappdeckels 18 an. Die Kontur des Faltlappens 42 entspricht einem bei Klappschachteln üblichen Ausschnitt 43 in der Kragen-Vorderwand 20.In the present exemplary embodiment, a tongue-shaped folding tab 42 adjoins the side of the inner lid tab 39 facing the collar 19. In the case of the finished folded pack, this lies against the inside of the top wall 28 or against the corner flaps 30 of the hinged lid 18. The contour of the folding flap 42 corresponds to a cutout 43 in the front wall 20 of the collar, which is customary for folding boxes.

Bei der fertiggefalteten Packung gemäß Fig. 6 bis 8 bleibt die Verbindung zwischen dem Zuschnitt für das Oberteil 15 und dem Kragen 19 zunächst bestehen. Bei Ingebrauchnahme der Verpackung, nämlich beim Öffnen des Klappdeckels 18, werden die Restverbindungen 40 durchtrennt. Die Packung entspricht sodann im oberen Bereich einer üblichen Klappschachtel.6 to 8, the connection between the blank for the upper part 15 and the collar 19 initially remains. When the packaging is used, namely when the hinged lid 18 is opened, the remaining connections 40 are severed. The package then corresponds to a conventional folding box in the upper area.

Auch die Verpackung gemäß Fig. 9 und 10 entspricht dem beschriebenen Konstruktionsprinzip. Das Oberteil 15 kann in der im Zusammenhang mit Fig. 1 bis 5 beschriebenen Weise ausgebildet sein oder nach Maßgabe von Fig. 6 bis 8. Die Besonderheit des Ausführungsbeispiels nach Fig. 9 und 10 besteht darin, daß das Unterteil 16 der Verpackung aus dünnem, flexiblem Verpackungsmaterial die gesamte Verpackung einhüllt. Der Zuschnitt für das Unterteil 16 ist über den Verbindungsstreifen 17 hinaus nach oben verlängert und deckt außen das Oberteil 15, einschließlich Klappdeckel 18, vollständig ab. Es empfiehlt sich bei dieser Ausführung, daß Unterteil 16 und eine an diese im Bereich des Oberteils 15 anschließende Kappe 44, aus einer Folie zu fertigen, zum Beispiel aus einer Kunststoffolie. Diese bildet im unteren Teil der Packung das Unterteil 16 und im Bereich des Oberteils 15 eine aromaerhaltende Umhüllung. Die gesamte Verpackung ist dadurch von einem durchgehenden, einstückigen Außenzuschnitt eingehüllt.The packaging according to FIGS. 9 and 10 also corresponds to the construction principle described. The upper part 15 can be designed in the manner described in connection with FIGS. 1 to 5 or in accordance with FIGS. 6 to 8. The special feature of the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 9 and 10 is that the lower part 16 of the packaging consists of thin, flexible packaging material envelops the entire packaging. The blank for the lower part 16 is extended upwards beyond the connecting strip 17 and completely covers the upper part 15, including the hinged lid 18, on the outside. It is recommended in this embodiment that the lower part 16 and one in the area the upper part 15 adjoining cap 44 to be made from a film, for example from a plastic film. This forms the lower part 16 in the lower part of the pack and an aroma-preserving covering in the area of the upper part 15. The entire packaging is wrapped in a continuous, one-piece outer cut.

Für die Ingebrauchnahme der Verpackung wird der obere Teil der Außenumhüllung abgetrennt, also die Kappe 44 vom Unterteil 16. Es bleibt dann eine Verpackung, die derjenigen gemäß Fig. 1 bis 5 oder gemäß Fig. 6 bis 8 entspricht. Der verbleibende Teil der Außenumhüllung, nämlich das Unterteil 16, ist zu diesem Zweck durch Kleben oder Siegeln mit dem Oberteil 15 in der beschriebenen Weise entlang einem Verbindungsstreifen 17 verbunden.For the use of the packaging, the upper part of the outer covering, that is the cap 44, is separated from the lower part 16. A packaging then remains which corresponds to that according to FIGS. 1 to 5 or according to FIGS. 6 to 8. For this purpose, the remaining part of the outer casing, namely the lower part 16, is connected to the upper part 15 by a glue or seal in the manner described along a connecting strip 17.

Zum Abtrennen der Kappe 44 ist in Höhe des Verbindungsstreifens 17 ein üblicher Aufreißstreifen 45 bzw. ein Aufreißfaden angebracht. Durch Abziehen desselben kommt die Kappe 44 frei und kann vom Oberteil 15 der Verpackung abgezogen werden. Der Verbindungsstreifen 17 ist zu diesem. Zweck unterhalb des Aufreißstreifens 45 angeordnet.To tear off the cap 44, a normal tear strip 45 or a tear thread is attached at the level of the connecting strip 17. By pulling it off, the cap 44 is released and can be pulled off the upper part 15 of the packaging. The connecting strip 17 is to this. Purpose arranged below the tear strip 45.
