Die Schließlasche 35 ist jedoch deutlich kürzer (Abmessung in Richtung des Kantenabschnitts 38) als dieser Kantenabschnitt 38. Weiterhin ist von Bedeutung, daß die Schließlasche 35 nur eine geringe Höhe 40 aufweist, nämlich von etwa 3 mm bis 4 mm. Die Schließlasche 35 ist gegenüber der Kragen-Vorderwand 24 durch eine sich in Verlängerung des Kantenabschnitts 38 erstreckende Faltlinie 41 abgegrenzt. Diese kann als Perforationslinie ausgebildet sein, um das Umfalten der Schließlasche 35 zu erleichtern. In der wirksamen Stellung ist nämlich die Schließlasche 35 gegen die Außenseite der Kragen-Vorderwand 24 umgefaltet (Fig. 3, Fig. 4). Die Schließlasche 35 ist dabei vorzugsweise unter einem spitzen Winkel zur Kragen-Vorderwand 24 gerichtet. Die Länge der Schließlasche beträgt beispielsweise 25 mm.The locking tab 35 as part of the locking aid is on the front wall of the collar 24 is formed in the region of the edge section 38 and connected to it. In the starting position (Fig. 5) protrudes Locking tab 35 in the recess 37. The locking tab 35 is however significantly shorter (dimension in the direction of the edge section 38) than this edge section 38. Furthermore, from Meaning that the locking tab 35 is only a small height 40 has, namely from about 3 mm to 4 mm. The locking tab 35 is opposite the collar front wall 24 by an extension of the edge section 38 extending fold line 41 delimited. This can be designed as a perforation line to to facilitate the folding of the locking tab 35. In the effective Position is namely the locking tab 35 against the Folded outside of the collar front wall 24 (Fig. 3, Fig. 4). The locking tab 35 is preferably under one acute angle directed to the collar front wall 24. The length the locking tab is 25 mm, for example.

    Als Gegenstück der Schließhilfe hat der Deckel-Innenlappen 36 mindestens in einem Verhakungsbereich eine sehr geringe Querabmessung 42, nämlich von etwa 3 mm bis 4 mm. In der Schließstellung des Deckels liegt der Deckel-Innenlappen 36 unterhalb der Schließlasche 35, derart, daß Deckel-Innenlappen 36 und Schließlasche 35 eine Verhakung bilden (Fig. 3, Fig. 4). Die Abmessungen der Schließlasche 35 und des Deckel-Innenlappens 36 sind dabei so aufeinander abgestimmt, daß sie zusammen, also aneinanderschließend (Fig. 3, Fig. 4) der Höhe bzw. Breite des Kragen-Streifens 39 entsprechen.As a counterpart to the closing aid, the inner lid flap 36 a very small transverse dimension in at least one interlocking area 42, namely from about 3 mm to 4 mm. In the closed position the lid of the lid inner tab 36 is below the Locking tab 35 such that lid inner tabs 36 and Lock tab 35 form a hook (Fig. 3, Fig. 4). The Dimensions of the locking tab 35 and the lid inner tab 36 are coordinated so that they are together, so adjoining (Fig. 3, Fig. 4) the height or width of the Collar strip 39 correspond.

    Bei dem gezeigten vorteilhaften Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Deckel-Innenlappen 36 im mittleren Bereich mit einer Vertiefung 43 versehen. Diese hat in Querrichtung des Zuschnitts (Fig. 6) eine Abmessung, die etwas größer ist als die Länge der Schließlasche 35. Es entsteht dadurch ein mittlerer Bereich des Deckel-Innenlappens 36 mit deutlich reduzierter Querabmessung 42. Dieser Bereich wirkt als Verhakungsteil 44 mit der Schließlasche 35 zusammen. Letztere bildet eine nach unten weisende, quergerichtete Stützkante 45. Diese liegt in Schließstellung an der nach oben gerichteten Gegenkante 46 des Deckel-Innenlappens 36 bzw. des Verhakungsteils 44 an. Die Schließlasche 35 tritt aufgrund der Schrägstellung in die Vertiefung 43 des Deckel-Innenlappens 36 ein. Dadurch entsteht die formschlüssige Verankerung des Deckels 11 am Kragen 23. Beim Schließen des Deckels 11 kommt es zu einem Rasteffekt. Beim Öffnen ist lediglich eine geringe Schließkraft zu überwinden.In the advantageous embodiment shown, the Lid inner tab 36 in the central area with a recess 43 provided. This has in the transverse direction of the blank (Fig. 6) a dimension that is slightly larger than the length of the Closing tab 35. This creates a central area of the Lid inner tab 36 with significantly reduced transverse dimensions 42. This area acts as a hooking part 44 with the locking tab 35 together. The latter forms a downward-facing transverse support edge 45. This lies in the closed position the upward opposite edge 46 of the inner lid flap 36 or the interlocking part 44. The locking tab 35 occurs due to the inclination in the recess 43 of the lid inner tab 36 a. This creates the form-fitting Anchoring the cover 11 to the collar 23. When closing the Cover 11 there is a locking effect. When opening is to overcome only a low closing force.

    Der Deckel-Innenlappen 36 ist an der Innenseite der Deckel-Vorderwand 17 verankert, und zwar durch Klebung. Im vorliegenden Falle ist Wert darauf gelegt, daß vor allem der Verhakungsteil 44 fest und dauerhaft an der Deckel-Vorderwand 17 befestigt ist. Zu diesem Zweck sind Leimpunkte 47 als Verbindungsmittel vorgesehen. Im Bereich des Verhakungsteils 44 sind hier drei Leimpunkte 47 vorgesehen. Weitere Leimpunkte 47 befinden sich am freien Rand des Deckel-Innenlappens 36 im Bereich von seitlichen Verbreiterungen 48.The lid inner tab 36 is on the inside of the lid front wall 17 anchored by gluing. In the present The trap attaches great importance to the fact that, above all, the interlocking part 44 firmly and permanently attached to the lid front wall 17 is. For this purpose, glue points 47 are used as connecting means intended. In the area of the hooking part 44 there are three Glue points 47 provided. There are further glue points 47 at the free edge of the inner lid tab 36 in the area of lateral Widenings 48.

    Der Kragen 23 ist so ausgebildet, daß dessen Zuschnitte (Fig. 5) von einer fortlaufenden Materialbahn in der Breite des Kragens 23 abfallfrei durch einen quergerichteten Trennschnitt hergestellt werden können. Eine bei einem Kragen 23 übliche, nach unten gerichtete Zunge 49 in der Größe und Form der Ausnehmung 37 ist am unteren Endbereich mit einem Ausschnitt 50 versehen. Dieser entspricht in Form und Größe der Schließlasche 35. The collar 23 is designed so that its blanks (Fig. 5) from a continuous web of material in the width of the collar 23 waste-free thanks to a transverse cut can be produced. A usual for a collar 23, downward tongue 49 in the size and shape of the recess 37 is at the lower end with a cutout 50 Mistake. This corresponds to the shape and size of the locking tab 35th

    Die Fertigung der Verpackung ist in herkömmlicher Weise möglich. Das äußere Erscheinungsbild weicht selbst in geöffneter Stellung (Fig. 2) nur geringfügig von einer herkömmlichen Klappschachtel ab. The packaging can be manufactured in a conventional manner. The external appearance gives way even in the open Position (Fig. 2) only slightly from a conventional Hinged box.
