The pack shown is a hinged lid box for tobacco. This kind of pack includes a bottom box portion 10, an upper lid 11 and a collar 12 formed with a separate blank. The pack contents are formed by a tobacco block 13 which is an article of cube, ie a group of cigarettes formed from a wrapping paper made of paper or thin tin foil.

The box portion 10 is formed by a box front wall 14, a box rear wall 15 disposed opposite, a narrow vertical box side wall 16 and a bottom wall 17. Similarly, the lid 11 includes a lid front wall 18, a lid rear wall 19, a lid side wall 20 and an end wall 21. The box part 10 and the lid 11 are connected to each other in a pivotable manner by a transverse straight connection 22 in the rear region of the hinged-lid box.

The collar 12 includes a collar front wall 23 and a collar side wall 24. The collar 12 is fixed to the box portion 10. That is, the collar is adhered to the box front wall 14 and / or the box side wall 16. The upper subregion of the collar 12 protrudes out of the box portion 10 approximately corresponding to the height of the tobacco block 13.

The bottom wall 17 and / or the end wall 21 are designed in a unique way. In the case of the exemplary embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 5, the bottom wall 17 and the end wall 21 are of the same shape, with the result that the hinged-lid box has a symmetrical appearance with respect to the imaginary transverse central plane. .

In the case of this exemplary embodiment the bottom wall 17 and the end wall 21 are basically arcuate in appearance. Characterized in the lateral regions of the bottom wall 17 and / or the end wall 21. That is, the area facing the sidewalls 16, 20 of the hinged-lid box forms a side section 25 which is an arcuate contour, ie an arcuate wall area. This area merges into the sidewalls that are perpendicular to the side of the pack. In the central area of the bottom wall 17 and / or the end wall 21, the side sections 25 are merged in the central area 26 of the plane oriented transversely or horizontally.

The bottom wall 17 and the end wall 21 comprise correspondingly formed folding tabs connected to the side walls, ie the box side walls 16 and the lid side walls 20, respectively. It comprises end tabs 27, 28 designed as extensions of the inner box side tabs 29 and the lid side tabs 30. The side tabs 29, 30 are part of the double stacked box sidewall 16 and the lid sidewall 20. The outer box side tab 31 and the lid side tab 32 extend only to the areas of the box side wall 16 and the lid side wall 20, so that the side walls 16, 20 are outer transverse as top and bottom terminations. It has directional edges 33 and 34.

The end tabs 27, 28 extend to the bottom wall 17 and the central section 26 in the plane of the end wall 21. One feature is formed by the illustrated contour, in which the two side sections 25 belonging to the bottom wall 17 and the end wall 21 are connected to each other by a transversely oriented peripheral edge, in particular a vertical central pack plane. Abut against. Thus, one end region of the side section 25 is oriented in a horizontal and planar manner.

In addition, a cover is provided on the outside in the region of the central section 26, preferably over the entire width of the planar region, which covers the mutually opposite end regions of the side section 25. It comprises a transverse portion 35 extending transversely across the bottom wall 17 and the end wall 21. The transverse portion 35 is the connection between the lid front wall 18 and the lid rear wall 19 (end wall 21) and the box front wall 14 and the box rear wall 15 (bottom wall 17). It is designed as a connection part between them (FIG. 5). The abutting side section 25 is connected to the inside of the intersection, in particular glued.

The blank (FIG. 5) is designed in a special way. The central portion 36 comprises a box back wall 15, a lid back wall 19 and connected inner side tabs 29, 30. End tabs 27 and 28 extend into extensions of the side tabs. The central portion 36 is in each case via the intersection portion 35, in each case by the end portions 37, 38, on the one hand the box front wall 14 and the box side tab 31 and on the other hand the lid front wall ( 18) and the lid side tab 32. Also arranged at the end portion 38 is a lid inner tab 39 that can be folded against the inside of the lid front wall 18.

Since the end tabs 27 and 28 are correspondingly prepared, shaping of the end tabs 27 and 28 can be carried out without special tools in order to form the arcuate side sections 25. This end tab is provided with transversely facing scores 40 made on the blank developed by stamping. The scores 40 are at different intervals corresponding to the process having an arcuate appearance. That is, the spacing becomes smaller in the region where the curve is relatively prominent. A score 41 is also provided at the intersection portion 35 to provide the bottom wall 17 and the end wall 21 with a uniformly configured appearance on the outside.

To provide a dimensionally stable hinged-lid box, the end tabs 27, 28 are box front walls 14 and boxes designed with corresponding arcuate contours 41 at least in the region of the arcuate side sections 25. It is supported on the free edge of the rear wall 15 and on the other hand on the lid front wall to ensure stability and support in the same plane with respect to the arcuate contour 41. The dimensions are chosen such that the box side tabs 29 and the lid side tabs 30 are slightly smaller than the width of the sidewalls of the pack, while the lateral dimension of the extension 42 is generally equivalent to the width of the pack and / or pack sidewalls. Corresponds to

One feature is formed by the shape of the contour 41. It comprises in each case an elliptical section 43 and a middle section 44 enclosed in a straight line. The upper boundary (circumferential edge) of the end wall 21 (or bottom wall 17) thus forms two elliptical sections 43 with horizontal intermediate sections 44 between corresponding to the central sections 26. It is included.

The dimensions of the sections 43 and 44 are on the one hand exactly equal to the major axis (a) and the minor axis (b) of the elliptical section 43 and the overall width (B) of the hinged-lid box, From here:

0.2 x B ≤ a ≤ 0.4 x B

There are also cases where:

0.2 x (B / 2-a) <b <3 x (B / 2-a)

The width of the middle section 44 corresponding to the center section 26 can be obtained from the relationship B-2a.

Another feature of the pack is that the top lid closure edge 45 is away from the bottom box closure edge 46. This creates a transversely facing strip shaped opening 47 in the region of the other feature of the pack that the top lid closure edge 45 is away from the bottom box closure edge 46. This makes the opening 47 in the form of a strip facing transversely in the area where the collar front wall 23 is visible. The closing edges 46 extend parallel to one another and are laterally oriented in the longitudinal direction of the hinged-lid box.

One particular hinged-lid box is shown in FIG. 7. It is designed in the manner described above for the upper region, ie the lid. In other words, it is designed as an arcuate end wall 21. In the bottom area, the hinged-lid box is of a traditional design, i.e. flat bottom wall 48 facing horizontally or transversely. The traditional bottom corner tab 49 likewise abuts the inside of the bottom wall. This tab is connected to the inner box side tab.

With the bottom wall 17 and / or the end wall 21 of the arcuate contour, the cigarette block 13 is arranged in the arcuate region when the box contents, ie the tobacco block 13, are arranged in the hinged-lid box described above. Exist outside Thus, cavities or chambers 50 and 51 are made above and below the tobacco block. In the up and down directions, the chamber is bounded by a bottom wall 17 and an end wall 21, on the one hand, in a special way, on the other hand by the tobacco block 13, and correspondingly extended before the molded box. It is laterally bounded by the barrier 14, the box back wall 15, the lid front wall 18 and the lid back wall 19. The cavities or chambers 50, 51 are suitable for receiving inserts for hinged-lid boxes, for example advertising and explanatory prints or coupons. It is also possible to accommodate articles or other useful articles in one chamber 50, 51. In the embodiment of FIG. 7, the tobacco block 13 is located directly on the bottom wall 48 or the bottom corner tab.

One particular aspect of the hinged-lid box is shown in FIGS. 8 to 10. The end wall 21 comprises planar wall regions adjacent to each other in a polygonal manner. The two side sections 25 are inclined in the form of a roof. The leg section designed 25 encloses an obtuse angle with respect to the vertical side wall 16, 20 on the one hand and with respect to the horizontal central section 26 on the other hand. As can be seen in FIG. 10, the side section 25 has a transversely facing folding line 53 from the side wall and / or the inner side tab 30 and from the horizontally facing end leg 52 on the other hand. Determined by It is also in the case of this pack that the side sections 25 and the end legs 52 are designed as extensions of the lid side tabs 30. Moreover, the intersection portion 35 is provided as an outer cover in the area of the central section 26. In the embodiment according to FIGS. 8 to 10 than in the above-described exemplary embodiment this intersection is designed to have a greater width.

The lid front wall 18 and the lid back wall 19 extending beyond the pack contents (tobacco block 13) are designed with trapezoidal or polygonal contours 41 in the protruding areas. End tabs 27, 28 or side sections 25 are supported by extensions 42 on the free edges defined by contours 41. This makes the chamber 50 of roof shape or trapezoidal shape exactly symmetrical with respect to the central vertical plane of the hinged-lid box. This exemplary embodiment also allows for designing the bottom side in the same way as the end side (similar to FIGS. 1 and 2). Furthermore, the blank according to FIG. 10 is designed in a manner corresponding to the example embodiment of FIG. 7 in the region of the bottom wall 48.

In the case of the hinged-lid box according to FIGS. 10 to 13, a chamber 50 made of a vertical plane side wall exceeding the pack contents, ie an extension of the box side wall 16 and the lid side wall 20, is a cigarette block 13. ) Is provided above. The protruding portions of the side walls 16 and 20 are of different lengths, so that the chamber 50 is trapezoidal or triangular in the vertical section. In the example shown both layers of the sidewalls 16, 20 extend into the region of the chamber 50, namely the outer lid side tabs 30 as well as the outer lid side tabs 37. Side walls 16 and 20 extend to upper peripheral edge 54. End tabs 27 and 28 connected to the inner side tab 30 are bent into the plane of the end wall 21 at an acute and an obtuse angle, respectively. The end wall is formed by folding tabs extending over the entire size of the hinged-lid box (FIG. 13). End tabs 27 and 28 are of different designs. That is, the end tab 27 is rectangular and the end tab 28 is trapezoidal because the lid 11 and / or folding tab portion are positioned at an angle.

Because of the appearance of the chamber 50, the lid front wall 18 and the lid rear wall 19 are trapezoidal in design (FIG. 13). The lid back wall 19 is bounded by a folding line 56 facing obliquely from the rectangular end wall 21. Thus, the folding tabs and the adjacent wall area of the blank are inclined towards the longitudinal direction (FIG. 13). By means of the lid front wall 18 and the lid rear wall of corresponding dimensions, the hinged-lid box (if the chamber is triangular in shape) has an end wall 21 with the upper boundary of the tobacco block 13, i.e. It is designed to end at a circumferential edge 55 disposed at approximately the same height as the tobacco block 13. Moreover, it is also possible for this contoured hinged-lid box to have a chamber in the bottom region.

The obliquely facing position of the folding line for the folding line 56 and the lid closing edge 45 in the developed blank is precisely transverse to the vertical pack edge of the lid closing edge 45 with the hinged lid box completed. Direction and parallel to the box closing edge 46.

In the case of the hinged-lid box according to FIGS. 14, 15 and 16, the area towards the end of the lid 11 (or bottom) is designed in a special way. The end tabs 27, 28 of the inner lid side tab 30 extending beyond the pack contents are folded to form an acute angle to form a downward facing side section 25 as part of the end wall 21. The end legs 52 of the end tabs 27, 28 are folded to a position across the longitudinal size of the pack and / or the tobacco block 13 and are connected to the intersection 35 inwardly. The latter forms the central section 26. The end leg 52 is connected to the circumferential region of the intersecting portion 35 facing inward by adhesive bonding or the like. The central section 26 abuts against the tobacco block 13 at the top or is spaced apart from the tobacco block. This, if appropriate, provides a special appearance of the chamber 50 including a subchamber in which the two cross-sectional shapes are triangular and formed over the tobacco block 13.

For this exemplary embodiment, the intersecting portion 35 is designed to have a larger width and extends somewhat over the entire width of the end wall 21 (FIG. 16). The end tabs 27, 28 following the inner lid side tab 30 abut against the outer lid side tab 31 and are simply separated by the punch cut 57. In addition, for this exemplary embodiment, the contour 41 of the lid front wall 18 and the lid rear wall 18 is adapted to the respective shape of the end wall 21.

The end region and the bottom region can be of the same design in all aspects of the hinged-lid box. However, an advantageous aspect is that the chamber is provided only in the region of the lid. Moreover, as shown, the hinged-lid box is designed to have a front opening 47 or, alternatively, the lid closure edge 45 and the box closure edge 46 lay down relative to one another when the lid is closed. Can be designed to
