Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackung für Zigaretten, insbesondere eine Klappschachtel, mit einer Innenumhüllung aus Papier oder papierähnlichen Werkstoffen für eine Zigaretten-Gruppe, wobei die Innenumhüllung im Bereich einer Vorderwand eine durch eine quergerichtete Perforationslinie begrenzte Abziehlasche (Flap) aufweist.The invention relates to a packaging for cigarettes, in particular a hinged box, with an inner wrapping made of paper or paper-like materials for a cigarette group, the inner wrapping having a pull tab (flap) delimited by a transverse perforation line in the region of a front wall.

Verpackungen des Typs Klappschachtel (Hinge-Lid-Packung) sind für Zigaretten weit verbreitet. Der konstruktive Aufbau einer derartigen Verpackung ist international weitgehend einheitlich. Die Klappschachtel selbst besteht aus einem Schachtelteil mit einem an einer Schachtel-Rückwand angeordneten Deckel und mit einem im Schachtelteil angeordneten Kragen. Dieser ragt mit einem oberen Abschnitt aus dem Schachtelteil heraus. Der freie Teil des Kragens wird in Schließstellung der Klappschachtel von dem Deckel umschlossen.Hinged-lid packaging is widely used for cigarettes. The design of such packaging is largely uniform internationally. The hinged box itself consists of a box part with a lid arranged on a box rear wall and with a collar arranged in the box part. This protrudes with an upper section the box part out. The free part of the collar is enclosed by the lid in the closed position of the hinged box.

Der Packungsinhalt, nämlich die Zigaretten-Gruppe, ist durch eine Innenumhüllung umgeben. Diese bildet eine bei Ingebrauchnahme der Verpackung entfernbare Abziehlasche (Flap). Die Erfindung befaßt sich vorrangig mit dieser Abziehlasche.The contents of the pack, namely the cigarette group, are surrounded by an inner wrapper. This forms a removable flap when the packaging is used. The invention is primarily concerned with this pull tab.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, die Abziehlasche der Innenumhüllung einem zusätzlichen Zweck zuzuführen.It is an object of the invention to provide the pull tab of the inner casing for an additional purpose.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht darin, daß die Abziehlasche im Bereich ihrer Vorderseite als Träger für einen Aufdruck dient, insbesondere für Werbezwecke, als Gutschein etc. Mindestens eine Teilfläche der Vorderseite der Abziehlasche, vorzugsweise aber die gesamte Vorderseite einer Vorderwand der Abziehlasche ist mit einem aus Wort- und/oder Bildbestandteilen bestehenden Aufdruck versehen. Inhaltlich kann der Aufdruck als Werbung gestaltet sein. Besonders geeignet ist aber die so ausgebildete Abziehlasche als Gutschein, Berechtigungsschein zur Teilnahme an Wettbewerben, Ausschreibungen etc.The solution to this problem is that the pull tab in the area of its front serves as a support for a print, in particular for advertising purposes, as a voucher, etc. At least a partial area of the front of the pull tab, but preferably the entire front of a front wall of the pull tab is made with one Provide word and / or image components existing print. In terms of content, the imprint can be designed as advertising. However, the pull tab designed in this way is particularly suitable as a voucher, authorization form for participation in competitions, tenders, etc.

Gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ist die Abziehlasche zur Erfüllung der vorstehenden Funktion deutlich vergrößert. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, daß die die Abziehlasche unten begrenzende Perforationslinie weiter nach unten zu einem Boden der Verpackung verlegt ist. Die Perforationslinie bzw. die untere Begrenzung der Abziehlasche liegt jedenfalls bei der Erfindung unterhalb des Kragens, jedoch oberhalb einer schrägen Faltkante eines Seitenlappens der Abziehlasche. Dadurch ist die Vorderwand der Abziehlasche und auch deren Vorderseite als Träger für den Aufdruck deutlich vergrößert.According to a further feature of the invention, the pull tab is significantly enlarged to fulfill the above function. This is achieved in that the perforation line delimiting the pull tab below is laid further down to a bottom of the packaging. The perforation line or the lower limit of the pull tab is in any case below the collar in the invention, but above an oblique folding edge of a side tab of the pull tab. As a result, the front wall of the pull tab and its front as a support for the print is significantly enlarged.

Der Aufdruck wird erfindungsgemäß vor Herstellung von Zuschnitten für die Innenumhüllung von einer Materialbahn auf diese aufgebracht. Das Material für die Innenumhüllung ist demnach mindestens teilweise fertiggestellt, wenn die Zuschnitte für die Innenumhüllung durch Abtrennen von der Materialbahn gebildet werden.According to the invention, the print is applied to a material web before the production of blanks for the inner covering. The material for the inner covering is accordingly at least partially finished when the blanks for the inner covering are formed by separating them from the material web.

Für bestimmte Anwendungsfälle, insbesondere bei Verwendung der Abziehlasche als Gutschein oder sonstigen Beleg, wird erfindungsgemäß der Aufdruck oder eine Teilmarkierung desselben im Bereich der Verpackungsmaschine angebracht, so daß der Aufdruck erst unmittelbar bei Fertigstellung der Verpackung wirksam markiert ist.For certain applications, especially when using the pull tab as a voucher or other receipt, the print or a partial marking of the same is applied according to the invention in the area of the packaging machine, so that the print is only effectively marked when the packaging is finished.

Die in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Einzelheiten befassen sich mit der Gestaltung einer Klappschachtel für Zigaretten. Diese besteht üblicherweise aus einem unteren Schachtelteil 10 und einem Deckel 11. Letzterer ist im Bereich einer Rückwand 12 schwenkbar mit dem Schachtelteil 10 verbunden.The details shown in the drawings deal with the design of a hinged box for cigarettes. This usually consists of a lower box part 10 and a lid 11. The latter is in the Area of a rear wall 12 pivotally connected to the box part 10.

Innerhalb der Klappschachtel befindet sich ein Kragen 13. Dieser ist so ausgebildet, daß eine Kragen-Vorderwand 14 mit einem unteren Teilbereich an der Innenseite einer Schachtel-Vorderwand 15 des Schachtelteils 10 anliegt und mit dieser verbunden ist. Kragen-Seitenlappen 16 befinden sich im Bereich von Schachtel-Seitenwänden 17, 18 der Verpackung. Der Kragen 13 sitzt mit einem unteren Bereich im Schachtelteil 10. Der aus diesem herausragende obere Bereich wird in Schließstellung vom Deckel 11 umschlossen. Die Kragen-Vorderwand 14 ist so ausgebildet, daß in dem aus dem Schachtelteil 10 herausragenden Bereich der Kragen-Vorderwand eine durch geschwungene Konturen begrenzte Ausnehmung 19 gebildet ist. Der untere Bereich der Kragen-Vorderwand 14 im Schachtelteil 10 wird durch eine entsprechend gestaltete Zunge 20 gebildet.A collar 13 is located inside the hinged box. This is designed such that a collar front wall 14 with a lower partial area rests against the inside of a box front wall 15 of the box part 10 and is connected to the latter. Collar side tabs 16 are located in the area of box side walls 17, 18 of the packaging. The collar 13 sits with a lower area in the box part 10. The upper area protruding from this is enclosed in the closed position by the lid 11. The collar front wall 14 is designed such that a recess 19 defined by curved contours is formed in the region of the collar front wall protruding from the box part 10. The lower region of the collar front wall 14 in the box part 10 is formed by an appropriately designed tongue 20.

Der Packungsinhalt, nämlich eine blockförmig formierte Zigaretten-Gruppe, ist durch eine Innenumhüllung 21 umgeben. Diese besteht aus einem Zuschnitt 22 aus Papier oder papierähnlichem Werkstoff. Der Zuschnitt 22 für die Innenumhüllung wird bei dem vorliegenden Beispiel von einer Materialbahn 23 im Bereich einer Verpackungsmaschine abgetrennt. Die Materialbahn 23 ist zu einer Bobine 24 gewickelt.The pack contents, namely a block-shaped cigarette group, are surrounded by an inner wrapper 21. This consists of a blank 22 made of paper or paper-like material. In the present example, the blank 22 for the inner wrapping is separated from a material web 23 in the area of a packaging machine. The material web 23 is wound into a bobbin 24.

Die Innenumhüllung 21 umgibt die Zigaretten-Gruppe allseitig. Der Zuschnitt 22 ist so gefaltet, daß eine geschlossene Bodenwand 25, eine Vorderwand 26, eine korrespondierende Rückwand 27, Seitenwände 28, 29 und eine Stirnwand 30 gebildet sind. Die Seitenwände 28, 29 der Innenumhüllung 21 bestehen aus im unteren Bereich, nämlich benachbart zur Bodenwand 25, trapezförmig gefalteten Seitenlappen 31, 32. Diese überdecken einander teilweise. Der der Vorderwand 26 zugekehrte bzw. mit dieser verbundene Seitenlappen 31 liegt außen.The inner wrapper 21 surrounds the cigarette group on all sides. The blank 22 is folded so that a closed bottom wall 25, a front wall 26, a corresponding rear wall 27, side walls 28, 29 and an end wall 30 are formed. The side walls 28, 29 of the inner casing 21 consist of trapezoidally folded side tabs 31, 32 in the lower region, namely adjacent to the bottom wall 25. These partially overlap one another. The side tab 31 facing the front wall 26 or connected to it is on the outside.

Auch die Stirnwand 30 ist durch Faltlappen gebildet. An die Vorderwand 26 schließt ein trapezförmiger äußerer Längslappen 33 im Bereich der Stirnwand 30 an.The end wall 30 is also formed by folding tabs. A trapezoidal outer longitudinal tab 33 adjoins the front wall 26 in the region of the end wall 30.

Der obere Teil der Vorderwand 26 der Innenumhüllung 21 ist als Abziehlasche 34 ausgebildet. Diese wird durch eine untere quergerichtete Perforationslinie 35 begrenzt, die sich durchgehend im Bereich der Vorderwand 26 und der anschließenden Seitenlappen 31 erstreckt. Die Abziehlasche 34 wird bei Ingebrauchnahme der Klappschachtel entfernt, nämlich aus dem offenen Schachtelteil 10 herausgezogen. Zu diesem Zweck wird die Abziehlasche 34 im Bereich des Längslappens 33 der Stirnwand 30 erfaßt und nach oben gezogen. Die Perforationslinie 35 wird dabei durchtrennt.The upper part of the front wall 26 of the inner casing 21 is designed as a pull tab 34. This is delimited by a lower transverse perforation line 35 which extends continuously in the region of the front wall 26 and the adjoining side tabs 31. The pull tab 34 is removed when the hinged box is put into use, namely pulled out of the open box part 10. For this purpose, the pull tab 34 is gripped in the region of the longitudinal tab 33 of the end wall 30 and pulled upwards. The perforation line 35 is cut through.

Die Abziehlasche 34 ist mit einem Druckbild 36 versehen, welches sich beim vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel über die gesamte Vorderwand 26 der Abziehlasche 34 an der Vorderseite derselben erstreckt. Bei dem Druckbild 36 kann es sich um Werbeangaben handeln. Vorzugsweise ist aber das Druckbild 36 als Gutschein, Teilnahmeschein an Wettbewerben oder dergleichen bestimmt.The pull tab 34 is provided with a printed image 36 which, in the present exemplary embodiment, extends over the entire front wall 26 of the pull tab 34 on the front thereof. The printed image 36 can be advertising information. However, the printed image 36 is preferably intended as a voucher, participation certificate in competitions or the like.

Die Abziehlasche 34 ist bei dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel deutlich größer ausgebildet als üblich. Zu diesem Zweck liegt die Perforationslinie 35 unterhalb des Kragens 13 bzw. unterhalb der Zunge 20 der Kragen-Vorderwand 14. Die mögliche untere Position der Perforationslinie 35 ist durch eine Schrägkante 37 bestimmt, die im Bereich der Seitenlappen 31, 32 gebildet ist. Die Perforationslinie 35 befindet sich mit (geringem) Abstand oberhalb des oberen Endes dieser Schrägkante 37. Durch diese Ausbildung der Abziehlasche 34 steht eine größere Fläche der Vorderwand 26 für das Druckbild 36 zur Verfügung. Bei einer Faltung der Innenumhüllung nach dem Prinzip der "Bodenfaltung" fehlt die Schrägkante im Bereich der Seitenwandungen. In diesem Falle kann sich der Flap auch unmittelbar bis zur Bodenwand erstrecken.The pull tab 34 in the present exemplary embodiment is designed to be significantly larger than usual. For this purpose, the perforation line 35 lies below the collar 13 or below the tongue 20 of the front wall 14 of the collar. The possible lower position of the perforation line 35 is determined by an oblique edge 37 which is formed in the region of the side tabs 31, 32. The perforation line 35 is located at a (small) distance above the upper end of this inclined edge 37. This design of the pull tab 34 makes a larger area of the front wall 26 available for the printed image 36. When the inner covering is folded according to the "bottom folding" principle, the oblique edge in the area of the side walls is missing. In this case, the flap can also extend directly to the bottom wall.

Wie insbesondere aus Fig. 4 ersichtlich, wird das Druckbild 36 zweckmäßigerweise bereits an der Materialbahn 23 für die Zuschnitte 22 positionsgerecht angebracht. Dadurch kann die Materialbahn 23 in der üblichen Weise in einer Verpackungsmaschine verarbeitet werden.As can be seen in particular from FIG. 4, the printed image 36 is expediently already attached to the material web 23 for the blanks 22 in the correct position. As a result, the material web 23 can be processed in the usual manner in a packaging machine.

Fig. 5 zeigt schematisch Einzelheiten einer derartigen Verpackungsmaschine mit einer Bobine 24 für die ablaufende Materialbahn 23 und einer nach Verbrauch derselben anzuschließenden Ersatzbobine 38. Die Materialbahn 23 läuft über eine Mehrzahl von Umlenkwalzen bis zu einer Trennstation 39. Hier werden die Zuschnitte 22 von der Materialbahn abgetrennt und für die Umhüllung einer Zigaretten-Gruppe bereitgehalten.5 schematically shows details of such a packaging machine with a bobbin 24 for the running material web 23 and a replacement bobbin 38 to be connected after the same has been used up. The material web 23 runs over a plurality of deflection rollers up to a separating station 39. Here the blanks 22 are separated from the material web separated and kept ready for wrapping a cigarette group.

Der Trennstation 39 ist eine Markierungsstation bzw. ein Druckwerk 40 in Förderrichtung der Materialbahn 23 vorgeordent. Das Druckwerk 40 hat die Aufgabe, das Druckbild 36 bzw. für die Gültigkeit eines Gutscheins oder dergleichen maßgebliche zusätzliche Markierungen im Bereich des Druckbilds 36 anzubringen. Das Druckwerk 40 besteht zu diesem Zweck aus einer Steuerwalze 41, die die Materialbahn 23 nach Maßgabe von üblichen Druckmarken positionsgerecht fördert. Der Steuerwalze 41 ist ein umlaufender Druckkopf 42 zugeordnet, der das Druckbild 36 bzw. die zusätzlichen Markierungen an diesem anbringt. Dadurch ist gewährleistet, daß nur aus einer Verpackung stammende Abziehlaschen 34 für den vorgesehenen Zweck eingesetzt werden können.The separating station 39 has a marking station or a printing unit 40 in the conveying direction of the material web 23. The printing unit 40 has the task of affixing the printed image 36 or additional markings in the area of the printed image 36 which are decisive for the validity of a voucher or the like. For this purpose, the printing unit 40 consists of a control roller 41 which conveys the material web 23 in the correct position according to the usual printing marks. A control print head 42 is assigned to the control roller 41 and attaches the print image 36 or the additional markings to it. This ensures that only pull tabs 34 originating from packaging can be used for the intended purpose.
