Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Klappschachtel, insbesondere für Zigaretten, aus einem einstückigen Zuschnitt mit an einer Rückwand angelenktem Deckel, der in Schliessstellung einen mit einer Vorderwand verbundenen Kragen umfasst, wobei der Kragen bzw. eine Kragenvorderwand im Bereich der Vorderwand durch eine Z-Faltung nach innen zurückgesetzt ist.The invention relates to a hinged box, in particular for cigarettes, made from a one-piece blank with a lid hinged to a rear wall, which in the closed position comprises a collar connected to a front wall, the collar or a collar front wall in the region of the front wall by a Z-fold inwards is reset.

Eine Packung der vorstehenden Art ist beispielsweise bekannt durch die DE-A-2 426 131. Die Packung besteht hier aus einem einzigen, einstückigen Zuschnitt aus Papier, Karton oder dergleichen. Der Kragen ist bei dieser Packung im Bereich der Vorderwand wie auch an den Seitenwänden durch eine Z-Faltung gegenüber Vordersowie Seitenwand nach innen zurückgesetzt. Durch diese Z-Faltung ist der Kragen einschliesslich seiner Kragenlappen gegenüber der Vorderwand sowie den Seitenwänden um zwei Materiallagen zurückgesetzt. Der ebenfalls doppellagig ausgebildete Deckel schliesst dadurch mit Vorderwand und Seitenwand in Schliessstellung bündig ab.A pack of the above type is known, for example, from DE-A-2 426 131. The pack here consists of a single, one-piece blank made of paper, cardboard or the like. The collar in this pack is set back inwards in the area of the front wall as well as on the side walls by a Z-fold in relation to the front and side walls. Due to this Z-fold, the collar, including its collar tabs, is set back by two layers of material in relation to the front wall and the side walls. The cover, which is also double-layered, is flush with the front and side walls in the closed position.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine verbesserte Klappschachtel der eingangs genannten Art vorzuschlagen, die vor allem im Hinblick auf eine wirtschaftliche, maschinelle Fertigung einfacher aufgebaut ist und darüber hinaus Vorteile in bezug auf die Handhabung gewährleistet.The invention has for its object to propose an improved folding box of the type mentioned, which has a simpler structure, especially with regard to economical, mechanical production, and also ensures advantages in terms of handling.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist die erfindungsgemässe Klappschachtel dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass in der Kragenvorderwand oberhalb und parallel zur oberen Kante der Vorderwand ein im überwiegenden Bereich der Kragenvorderwand quer verlaufender Trennschnitt vorgesehen ist und die Kragenvorderwand lediglich durch Restverbindungen mit Z-Faltung mit der Vorderwand verbunden Ist, wobei die Restverbindungen gegenüber der Kragenvorderwand einerseits durch unter einem Winkel bzw. etwa quer zum Trennschnitt gerichtete Stichschnitte, die kürzer sind als die Höhe (Breite) eines abgetrennten Streifens, und anderseits durch Seiteneinschnitte abgetrennt sind und der zwischen diesen Restverbindungen liegende von der Kragenvorderwand abgetrennte Streifen um die obere Kante der Vorderwand nach innen umgefaltet ist, an welchem die Kragenvorderwand anliegt.To achieve this object, the hinged box according to the invention is characterized in that in the front wall of the collar above and parallel to the upper edge of the front wall there is a transverse cut in the predominant area of the front wall of the collar and the front wall of the collar is connected to the front wall only by residual connections with a Z-fold, the remaining connections are cut off from the front wall of the collar on the one hand by stitch cuts, which are shorter than the height (width) of a cut-off strip, which are shorter than the height (width), and on the other hand cut off by side cuts and the strip lying between these remaining connections and cut off from the front wall of the collar is folded inwards around the upper edge of the front wall against which the collar front wall rests.

Durch die erfindungsgemässe Packungskonstruktion im Bereich der Verbindung zwischen Vorderwand und Kragen wird einerseits eine erleichterte, maschinelle Fertigung möglich, weil eine einwandfreie Faltung bei verhältnismässig schmalen Restverbindungen maschinell durchgeführt werden kann. Statt einer maschinell schwierigen Z-Faltung über die gesamte Breite der Vorderwand wird bei der Erfindung der Kragen lediglich relativ zu der Vorderwand in versetzter Ebene verschoben. Z-Faltungen werden lediglich im Bereich der schmalen Restverbindungen gebildet. Zwischen diesen ist der abgetrennte Streifen in voller Breite gegen die Innenseite der Vorderwand umgefaltet und liegt an dieser an. Die Kragenvorderwand wiederum legt sich innen gegen diesen gefalteten Streifen im Bereich einer Überdeckung.The packaging construction according to the invention in the area of the connection between the front wall and the collar on the one hand facilitates mechanical production because a perfect folding can be carried out mechanically with relatively narrow remaining connections. Instead of a mechanically difficult Z-fold over the entire width of the front wall, the collar in the invention is only displaced relative to the front wall in an offset plane. Z-folds are only formed in the area of the narrow remaining connections. Between these, the cut-off strip is folded over the full width against the inside of the front wall and lies against it. The collar front wall in turn lies against this folded strip in the area of an overlap.

Durch die vorstehende Konstruktion bildet die Vorderwand am Übergang zum Kragen bzw. zur Kragenvorderwand eine durchgehend umgefaltete, doppellagige, abgerundete obere Kante. Dabei wird zweckmässigerweise der Vorgang des Umfaltens des abgetrennten Streifens dadurch erleichtert, dass im Bereich der vorgenannten oberen Kante eine den Querschnitt des Materials schwächende Rillung geführt ist, die sich nur über einen Teilbereich der Materialstärke erstreckt.Due to the above construction, the front wall at the transition to the collar or to the collar front wall forms a continuously folded, double-layered, rounded upper edge. In this case, the process of folding over the separated strip is expediently facilitated by the fact that in the area of the above-mentioned upper edge there is a groove that weakens the cross section of the material and extends only over a partial area of the material thickness.

Weitere Merkmale der Erfindung betreffen die konstruktive Ausgestaltung der Packung.Further features of the invention relate to the structural design of the pack.

Das gezeigte Ausführungsbeispiel einer Verpackung betrifft eine quaderförmige Klappschachtel für Zigaretten. Diese besteht aus Vorderwand 10, Rückwand 11, Boden 12 sowie Seitenwänden 13, 14. Letztere sind im überwiegenden Bereich doppellagig ausgebildet, bestehen nämlich durch jeweils an Vorderwand 10 und Rückwand 11 anschliessende Seitenlappen 15 und 16.The exemplary embodiment of a packaging shown relates to a cuboid hinged box for cigarettes. This consists of front wall 10, rear wall 11, floor 12 and side walls 13, 14. The latter are formed in two layers in the predominant area, namely consist of side tabs 15 and 16 each adjoining front wall 10 and rear wall 11.

An den oberen Rand der Rückwand 11 schliesst ein schwenkbarer Deckel 17 an. Dessen Deckelrückwand 18 ist einstückig mit der Rückwand 11 verbunden und längs einer Faltachse 19 schwenkbar.A pivotable cover 17 connects to the upper edge of the rear wall 11. Whose lid rear wall 18 is integrally connected to the rear wall 11 and pivotable along a folding axis 19.

Der Deckel 17 besteht im übrigen aus Deckeloberwand 20, Deckelvorderwand 21, einem gegen dessen Innenseite umgefalteten Verstärkungslappen 22. Die Deckelrückwand 18 und ebenso die Deckelvorderwand 21 sind seitlich mit trapezförmigen Deckelseitenlappen 23 bzw. 24 versehen. Diese bilden deckungsgleich übereinanderliegend die ebenfalls zweilagigen Deckelseitenwände 25, 26. Weiterhin sind im Bereich des Bodens 12 und des Deckels 17 Ecklappen 27 bzw. 28 vorgesehen, die am Boden 12 bzw. an der Dekkeloberwand 20 der fertigen Packung anliegen.The lid 17 consists, moreover, of the lid top wall 20, lid front wall 21, a reinforcing flap 22 folded over against the inside thereof. These form the two-layer cover side walls 25, 26 lying congruently one above the other. Furthermore, in the area of the Bo dens 12 and the lid 17 corner tabs 27 and 28 are provided, which abut the bottom 12 and the top cover 20 of the finished package.

An den insoweit beschriebenen Packungszuschnitt schliesst im Bereich der Vorderwand 10 ein Kragen 19 an. Dieser ist einstückig mit dem übrigen Teil des Zuschnitts verbunden, und zwar über Restverbindungen 30, 31. Der Kragen 29 besteht aus Kragenvorderwand 32 als Fortsetzung der Vorderwand 10 sowie seitlichen Kragenlappen 33 im Bereich der benachbarten Seitenlappen 15.A collar 19 adjoins the package blank described so far in the region of the front wall 10. This is connected in one piece to the remaining part of the blank, via residual connections 30, 31. The collar 29 consists of the collar front wall 32 as a continuation of the front wall 10 and lateral collar tabs 33 in the region of the adjacent side tabs 15.

Die insoweit beschriebenen Bereiche des Zuschnitts bzw. der Packung sind durch Längsfaltlinien 34 und Querfaltlinien 35 gegeneinander abgegrenzt.The areas of the blank or the pack described so far are delimited from one another by longitudinal folding lines 34 and transverse folding lines 35.

Die seitlichen Zuschnitteile, nämlich die Seitenlappen 15 einerseits und Kragenlappen 33 anderseits sowie die Seitenlappen 16 einerseits und Deckelseitenlappen 23 anderseits, sind jeweils durch schräg gerichtete Trennschnitte 36', 37 über die volle Breite voneinander abgeteilt. Durch die Schräglage (ca. 30°) der Trennschnitte 36, 37 ent- - stehen entsprechend schräge Schliesskanten der Packung und des Deckels sowie eine untere schräg gerichtete Kante der Kragenlappen 33.The side cut parts, namely the side tabs 15 on the one hand and collar tabs 33 on the other hand, and the side tabs 16 on the one hand and lid side tabs 23 on the other hand, are each separated from one another over the full width by obliquely directed separating cuts 36 ', 37. Due to the inclined position (approx. 30 °) of the separating cuts 36, 37, correspondingly inclined closing edges of the pack and the cover as well as a lower, obliquely directed edge of the collar tab 33 result.

Der vorstehend beschriebene Zuschnitt wird in bekannter Weise nach dem Längsfaltverfahren zu der Packung gem. Fig. 4 gefaltet. Die Faltung des Deckels 17 ist dabei konventionell. Im Bereich des Kragens 29 sind Besonderheiten vorgesehen.The blank described above is in a known manner according to the longitudinal folding process to the pack. Fig. 4 folded. The folding of the cover 17 is conventional. Special features are provided in the area of the collar 29.

Die seitlichen Kragenlappen 33 werden mit einem unteren Verankerungsstreifen 38, der beispielsweise eine Höhe von etwa 5 mm haben kann, jeweils im oberen Bereich zwischen den Seitenlappen 15, 16 der Seitenwände 13, 14 eingebettet und hier verankert, insbesondere durch Klebung. Alternativ können die Lagen auch so geschichtet sein, dass die seitlichen Kragenlappen 33 vollständig innen an den Seitenwänden 13 bzw. 14 der Packung anliegen.The side collar tabs 33 are each embedded in the upper region between the side tabs 15, 16 of the side walls 13, 14 and anchored here, in particular by gluing, with a lower anchoring strip 38, which can have a height of approximately 5 mm, for example. Alternatively, the layers can also be layered in such a way that the lateral collar flaps 33 lie completely against the inside of the side walls 13 and 14 of the pack.

In besonderer Weise ist die Verbindung zwischen Kragen 29 und Vorderwand 10 ausgebildet. Bei dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel sind seitliche Restverbindungen 30 und 31 von geringer Breite vorgesehen. Ausserhalb des Bereichs dieser Restverbindungen 30, 31 ist der Kragen 29 bzw. die Kragenvorderwand 32 von der Vorderwand 10 durch einen quergerichteten Trennschnitt 40 abgeteilt. Die hier am Rand der Vorderwand 10 liegenden Restverbindungen 30, 31 sind durch Seiteneinschnitte 41 von den aussen angrenzenden Bereichen des Kragens 29, nämlich den Kragenlappen 33, abgeteilt.The connection between the collar 29 and the front wall 10 is designed in a special way. In the present exemplary embodiment, lateral residual connections 30 and 31 of small width are provided. Outside the area of these remaining connections 30, 31, the collar 29 or the collar front wall 32 is divided from the front wall 10 by a transverse cut 40. The remaining connections 30, 31 located here at the edge of the front wall 10 are separated by side incisions 41 from the regions of the collar 29 bordering on the outside, namely the collar tabs 33.

An den zu den aussen liegenden Seitenein-schnitten 41 gegenüberliegenden Seiten der Restverbindungen 30, 31 sind diese durch kürzere, versetzt liegende Stichschnitte 42 begrenzt. Diese hier unter einem Winkel verlaufenden, also schräg gerichteten Stichschnitte 42 schliessen an die Enden des quer verlaufenden Trennschnitts 40 an. Die freien Enden der Stichschnitte 42 liegen auf gleicher Höhe wie die zugekehrten Enden der Seiteneinschnitte 41. Die Verbindung dieser Enden ist zugleich eine (untere) Faltachse 45 für die Restverbindungen 30, 31 bei der Bildung einer Z-Faltung 43 in diesem Bereich.On the sides of the remaining connections 30, 31 opposite the side incisions 41, these are delimited by shorter, offset stitch cuts 42. These here at an angle, ie obliquely directed stitch cuts 42 connect to the ends of the transverse separating cut 40. The free ends of the stitch cuts 42 are at the same height as the facing ends of the side incisions 41. The connection of these ends is also a (lower) folding axis 45 for the remaining connections 30, 31 when a Z-fold 43 is formed in this area.

Bei der Herstellung der Packung wird der Kragen 29 durch Relativbewegung gegenüber der Vorderwand 10 in eine zurückgesetzte Ebene derart verschoben, dass die Restverbindungen 30, 31 gegen die Rückseite der Vorderwand 10 umgelegt werden. Zwischen den Restverbindungen 30, 31 wird ein abgetrennter Streifen 44 gebildet. Dieser liegt im Bereich zwischen den Restverbindungen 30, 31 umgefaltet an der Innenseite der Vorderwand 10 an. Der Streifen 44 ist gegenüber der Vorderwand 10 durch eine obere Kante 46 abgegrenzt. Diese dadurch doppellagige obere Kante 46 ist zugleich Schliesskante für die Packung im Bereich der Vorderseite. Sie schliesst bündig mit der ebenfalls doppellagigen Deckelvorderwand 21 ab.During the production of the pack, the collar 29 is displaced into a recessed plane by relative movement relative to the front wall 10 in such a way that the remaining connections 30, 31 are folded against the back of the front wall 10. A separated strip 44 is formed between the remaining connections 30, 31. This lies folded over in the area between the remaining connections 30, 31 on the inside of the front wall 10. The strip 44 is delimited from the front wall 10 by an upper edge 46. This double-layered upper edge 46 is at the same time the closing edge for the pack in the area of the front. It ends flush with the cover front wall 21, which is also double-layered.

Die Abmessungen sind zweckmässigerweise so gewählt, dass der abgetrennte Streifen 44 ausserhalb des Bereichs der Restverbindungen 30, 31 die doppelte Breite des inneren Schenkels der Z-Faltungen 43 hat, beispielsweise eine Breite bzw. Höhe von 5 mm. Die Z-Faltung 43 hat dadurch verhältnismässig kleine Abmessungen. Dennoch liegen stabile konstruktive Verhältnisse vor, weil der an der Innenseite der Vorderwand 10 anliegende Streifen 44 eine Verstärkung bildet.The dimensions are expediently chosen such that the separated strip 44 outside the region of the remaining connections 30, 31 has twice the width of the inner leg of the Z folds 43, for example a width or height of 5 mm. The Z fold 43 thus has relatively small dimensions. Nevertheless, there are stable structural conditions because the strip 44 lying against the inside of the front wall 10 forms a reinforcement.

Die Kragenvorderwand 32 wird bei der Bildung der Z-Faltungen 43 gegen die Innenseite des umgelegten Streifens 44 geführt. Im Bereich zwischen den Restverbindungen 30, 31 liegt die Kragenvorderwand 32 mit einer Überdeckung 47 von beispielsweise 1 mm Höhe bzw. Breite an. Die Restverbindungen 30, 31 und die Stichschnitte 42 müssen in den Abmessungen so aufeinander abgestimmt sein, dass eine Überdeckung 47 von gewisser Mindestbreite gegeben ist. Der abgetrennte Streifen 44 kann im übrigen mit der Vorderwand 10 und die Kragenvorderwand 32 mit dem Streifen 44 durch Klebung od.dgl. verbunden sein.The collar front wall 32 is guided against the inside of the folded strip 44 when the Z folds 43 are formed. In the area between the remaining connections 30, 31, the collar front wall 32 lies with an overlap 47 of, for example, 1 mm in height or width. The remaining connections 30, 31 and the stitch cuts 42 must be matched to one another in the dimensions such that there is an overlap 47 of a certain minimum width. The separated strip 44 can otherwise with the front wall 10 and the collar front wall 32 with the strip 44 or the like by gluing. be connected.

Um das Umfalten des abgetrennten Streifens 44 bei der Bildung derZ-Faltungen 43 zu erleichtern, ist gem. Fig. 6 und 7 der Zuschnitt im Bereich der oberen Kante 46 mit einer vorzugsweise über die volle Breite der Packung durchgehenden Rillung 48 versehen. Diese wird von der Aussenseite des Zuschnitts her so angebracht, dass das Material in diesem Bereich eine Querschnittsschwächung erfährt, und zwar beispielsweise derart, dass ein Materialrest 49 von '/3 der Materialstärke bleibt.In order to facilitate the folding over of the severed strip 44 when the Z-folds 43 are formed, according to 6 and 7 the blank in the area of the upper edge 46 is provided with a groove 48, preferably continuous over the full width of the pack. This is applied from the outside of the blank in such a way that the material in this area undergoes a cross-sectional weakening, for example in such a way that a material residue 49 of 3/3 of the material thickness remains.

Die Rillung 48 wird mit einem besonderen Trennwerkzeug 50 ausgeführt, dessen Schneide 51 V-förmig ausgebildet ist, und zwar mit einem abgerundeten Übergang in den übrigen Bereich des Trennwerkzeugs 50. Es entstehen dadurch abgerundete Schnittkanten 52 zu beiden Seiten der Rillung 48. Diese abgerundeten Schnittkanten 52 bewirken eine insgesamt abgerundete obere Kante 46, wenn die durch die Rillung 48 gegeneinander abgegrenzten Zuschnitteile, im vorliegenden Fall die Vorderwand 10 und der Streifen 44, um 180° gegeneinander umgelegt werden. Diese besondere Technik der Materialschwächung im Bereich von oberen Kanten kann auch anderweitig, also bei anderen Packungskonstruktionen, zur Anwendung kommen.The creasing 48 is carried out with a special cutting tool 50, the cutting edge 51 of which is V-shaped, with a rounded transition into the remaining area of the cutting tool 50. This results in rounded cutting edges 52 on both sides of the creasing 48. These rounded cutting edges 52 bring about an overall rounded upper edge 46 when the cut parts delimited by the grooving 48, in the present case the front wall 10 and the strip 44, are folded against one another by 180 °. This special technique of weakening the material in the The area of the upper edges can also be used in other ways, that is to say in the case of other packaging constructions.

Anstelle der vorstehend beschriebenen Rillung 48 kann Im Bereich der oberen Kante 46 eine den Faltvorgang erleichternde Materialverringerung durch örtliches, nämlich linienförmiges Zusamrnendrücken des Zuschnitts bewirkt werden. Hierfür kann ein Quetschwerkzeug Verwendung finden, welches im Querschnitt etwa dem Trennwerkzeug 50 entspricht, mit dem Unterschied, dass die untere Schnittkante abgerundet ist Aufgrund der Gestaltung eines derartigen Press-oder Quetschwerkzeugs wird eine im wesentlichen V48rmige Rille bzw. Nut in den Werkstoff eingepresst, die den Faltvorgang zur Bildung der oberen Kante 48 erleichtert und die ebenfalls abgerundete Kanten im Sinne der Schnittkanten 52 aufweisen kann. Eine solche «Falthilfe» kann auch anderweitig zum Einsatz kommen, insbesondere wenn verhättnismässig schmale bzw. kleine Zuschntttbereiche gefaltet werden müssen.Instead of the above-described creasing 48, a reduction in material, which facilitates the folding process, can be brought about in the region of the upper edge 46 by local, namely linear, compression of the blank. A crimping tool can be used for this, which corresponds approximately to the cutting tool 50 in cross section, with the difference that the lower cutting edge is rounded. Due to the design of such a crimping or crimping tool, an essentially V-shaped groove or groove is pressed into the material facilitates the folding process to form the upper edge 48 and can also have rounded edges in the sense of the cut edges 52. Such a «folding aid» can also be used for other purposes, especially if relatively narrow or small cutting areas have to be folded.
