In the embodiment 1 to 5, the coupon 38 is a positive Engagement with the lid 11 connected so that when Open the coupon from the original position a bit pulled out and thereby in a position favorable for removal arrives.

Bei dem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel bildet der Coupon 38 im oberen Bereich einen Anschlag, der formschlüssig mit einem Gegenanschlag des Deckels 11 zusammenarbeitet. Als Gegenanschlag dient ein Deckel-Innenlappen 39, der an der Innenseite der Deckel-Vorderwand 17 anliegt und üblicherweise mit dieser durch Klebung verbunden ist. Eine Querkante 40 des Deckel-Innenlappens 39 dient als Anschlag für den Coupon 38.In the preferred embodiment, coupon 38 forms upper area a stop that is form-fitting with a counter-stop of the lid 11 cooperates. As a counter attack serves a lid inner tab 39 on the inside of the Cover front wall 17 abuts and usually with this Bond is connected. A transverse edge 40 of the lid inner tab 39 serves as a stop for the coupon 38.

Dieser ist mit einem durch Umfalten gebildeten Schenkel 41 versehen. Der Coupon 38 kann zu diesem Zweck entlang einer Faltkante 42 mit Materialschwächungen, zum Beispiel einer Perforationslinie, versehen sein, um das Umfalten des Schenkels 41 zu erleichtern. Eine freie Randkante 43 des Schenkels 41 bildet den mit dem Deckel-Innenlappen 39 zusammenwirkenden Anschlag. This is provided with a leg 41 formed by folding. The coupon 38 can be along a folded edge for this purpose 42 with material weaknesses, for example a perforation line, be provided to fold the leg 41 to facilitate. A free edge 43 of the leg 41 forms the stop cooperating with the inner lid flap 39.

Der Coupon 38 ist innerhalb der Klappschachtel so positioniert, daß sich der gefaltete Schenkel 41 des Coupons 38 innerhalb des Deckels 11 erstreckt und der Deckel-Vorderwand 17 zugekehrt ist. Der Schenkel 41 liegt oberhalb des Deckel-Innenlappens 39. Die Abmessungen sind so aufeinander abgestimmt, daß in Ausgangsstellung die Randkante 43 des Coupons 38 an der Querkante 40 anliegt bzw. dieser benachbart ist. Die formschlüssige Abstützung wird durch die Rückstellkraft des Schenkels 41 und die dadurch bedingte sichere Anlage an der Deckel-Vorderwand 17 gewährleistet.Coupon 38 is positioned inside the hinged box so that the folded leg 41 of the coupon 38 within the Cover 11 extends and the lid front wall 17 facing is. The leg 41 lies above the inner lid flap 39. The dimensions are coordinated so that in the starting position the edge 43 of the coupon 38 on the transverse edge 40 is present or is adjacent. The form-fitting support is determined by the restoring force of the leg 41 and the this ensures secure contact with the cover front wall 17.

Beim (erstmaligen) Öffnen der Klappschachtel laufen die sich aus Fig. 3, Fig. 4 und Fig. 5 ergebenden Bewegungsschritte ab. Der Coupon 38 wird aufgrund der formschlüssigen Verbindung mit der Deckel-Vorderwand 17 beim Öffnen des Deckels 11 aus dem Schachtelteil herausgezogen. Bei weiterer Öffnung des Deckels 11 geht der formschlüssige Eingriff des Coupons 38 mit der Deckel-Vorderwand 17 verloren (Fig. 4). Bei vollständig geöffnetem Deckel 11 ist der Coupon 38 mit einem oberen, aus der Klappschachtel herausragenden Bereich aufgrund von materialbedingten Rückstellkräften in eine (annähernd) aufrechte Position zurückgekehrt (Fig. 5). Der Coupon 38 kann nun problemlos an dem oberen, freien Teil erfaßt und vollständig aus der Klappschachtel herausgezogen werden.When the hinged box is opened (for the first time) they run 3, 4 and 5 resulting movement steps. Coupon 38 is due to the positive connection the lid front wall 17 when opening the lid 11 from the Box part pulled out. When the lid is opened further 11 is the positive engagement of the coupon 38 with the Cover front wall 17 lost (Fig. 4). When fully open Lid 11 is the coupon 38 with an upper, from which Hinged box outstanding area due to material-related Restoring forces in an (approximately) upright position returned (Fig. 5). Coupon 38 can now be used without any problems the upper, free part gripped and completely out of the hinged box be pulled out.
