  The present invention relates to a box 10 for cigarettes as contents, and this box 10 is formed as an elongated bag-like box. Further, the contents that are usually the cigarette group 11 are surrounded by an outer package 12 made of foil. This foil is sealed, especially with respect to moisture and odor, by its structure. Furthermore, since the material can be thermally sealed, the folded pieces are connected to each other by heat and pressure.

  The exterior 12 is characterized by the opening means 13 that can be used multiple times. This opening means 13 is constituted by an opening claw 14 that exposes the take-out opening 15 in the foil or inner layer 16 located inside. In the present invention, the opening claw 14 is a U-shaped cut line 17, that is, a line penetrating through a perforation or other appropriate scheduled break line. When the box 10 is opened, the opening claw 14 is brought to the open position (FIG. 9) by the operating device, that is, the operating claw 18.

  The operation claw 18 is a part of the outer layer 19 of the exterior 12 and is essentially defined by a U-shaped cut line 20. Further, the operation nail 18 is preferably adhered to the open nail 14 over the entire surface by an adhesive. Further, the operation claw 18 is set to be larger than the opening claw 14 and covers the opening claw 14 together with a (U-shaped) closed region 21 preferably formed in three directions. The closed region 21 is disposed as a support portion of the opening claw 14 at the edge 22 of the inner layer 16 surrounding the extraction opening 15. Further, the operation nail 18 includes an adhesive that acts permanently in at least the closed region 21.

  In the embodiment based on FIGS. 1 and 2, the exterior 12 is composed of a multilayer foil having an inner layer 16 and an outer layer 19. Here, the multilayer foil is processed as a continuous foil connector 23. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the foil portion 24 sandwiched between the inner layer 16 and the outer layer 19 is arranged as an integrated locking element. Note that the foil portion 24 may be provided only in the vicinity of the opening structure.

  The foil portion 24 (and the inner layer 16) includes the opening claw 14 and is larger in size than the opening claw 14 and the operation claw 18. That is, the foil portion 24 extends to the vicinity of the side edge of the foil connector 23 for the exterior 12. The free ends of the cut lines 17 and 20 are also located in the vicinity of the foil portion 24. Therefore, the opening claw 14 gripped by the operation claw 18 is formed in two layers, and on the one hand, a corresponding part of the inner layer 16 and on the other hand a corresponding part of a similar size in the foil part 24 It consists of

  An adhesive layer 25 made of permanent adhesive is disposed between the outer layer 19 and the foil portion 24. The edge 22 for binding the operation claw 18 having the inner layer 16 or the foil portion 24 is (only) formed in the vicinity of the foil portion 24. In terms of processing technology, it is conceivable that a permanent adhesive is applied over the entire surface of the foil portion 24 and disposed between the inner layer 16 and the outer layer of the foil connector 23.

  The vicinity of the operation claw 18 is formed as a grip piece 48 for gripping the operation claw 18. This gripping piece 48 is here the lower end region of the operating claw 18 for the non-adhesive region 49, where no permanently acting adhesive is applied.

  FIGS. 3 to 6 show a possible structure of a cigarette group 11 in the form of a cigarette block, which in the illustrated form is composed of one row of cigarettes, ie five cigarettes. Yes. In addition, the tobacco group 11 can be configured with a smaller number of cigarettes. Furthermore, it is also conceivable that the tobacco group 11 is constituted by a larger number of rows of tobacco. Preferably, the box 10 according to the present invention is used for a smaller number of cigarettes in relation to the tobacco group 11.

  Characteristically, a collar 26 that at least partially surrounds the tobacco group 11 is provided and twisted. The collar is made of a material capable of applying heat and pressure, such as cardboard.

  The collar 26 directly surrounds the tobacco group 11 and is packaged with the outer package 12 together with the tobacco group 11. Therefore, the collar 26 forms a so-called internal cutting part.

  The embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 to 6 is common in that the collar 26 extends over the entire length or height of the tobacco group 11. For this reason, the collar 26 extends at least partially between the opposite end face sides 27 and 28 in the tobacco group 11.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the collar 26 extends across the front side 29 and the narrow side 30 of the tobacco group 11 to be connected to the front side 29 on both sides. The rear side 31 of the tobacco group 11 is not covered with the collar 26 unlike the end face sides 27 and 28. The collar 26 includes an upper concave portion 32 for taking out the tobacco from the tobacco group 11 in the vicinity of the front side 29. A convex portion corresponding to the concave portion 32 is provided at the lower end portion of the collar 26. In this way, the collar 26 is separated from the continuous material connection without essentially debris. Further, since the side walls of the collar 26 are connected to each other by the crease line 34, the side wall of the collar 26 can be bent along the crease line 34.

  The collar 26 according to FIG. 4 differs from the collar 26 according to FIG. 3 in that the collar 26 extends slightly further to the rear side 31. The collar 26 has a substantially U-shaped cross section and includes two support portions 35 in the vicinity of the rear side 31. Here, these support portions 35 essentially extend only in the vicinity of the tobacco located on the edge side or outside of the tobacco group 11. Tobacco located between the cigarettes on the edge side is not covered by the collar 26 in the vicinity of the rear side 31.

  The embodiment according to FIG. 5 differs from the embodiment according to FIG. 4 in that the collar 26 extends essentially over the entire rear side 31 of the tobacco group 11. Here, the support portions 35 on both sides are formed wide so that the side edge portions of the support portions 35 face each other with a slight gap therebetween.

  Another feature is a semicircular recess 36 in the region of the rear side 31, and the recess 36 makes it easy to take out the cigarette. Similar to the concave portion 32 and the convex portion 33 on the front side 29, a convex portion 37 corresponding to the concave portion 36 is formed on the lower edge portion of the collar 26 in order to make the collar 26 useless.

  In the embodiment according to FIG. 6, the entire collar 26 is formed as a closed sleeve. With the exception of the recesses 32 and 36, the collar 26 extends around the entire vertical surface of the tobacco group 11 to close the periphery, similar to the embodiment shown in FIG. The sleeve is opened only downward in the vicinity of the end face side 28.

  In order to wrap the cigarette group 11 with the collar 26 arranged around, the outer package 12 is arranged around the cigarette group 11 provided with the collar 26 in a tube shape, and in the region of the rear side 31, the box 10 This region is closed by a longitudinal sealing seam 38 extending in the longitudinal direction. Further, in the vicinity of the end face sides 27 and 28, lateral sealing seams 39 and 40 are formed to close the exterior 12. These laterally sealed seam portions 39 and 40 are arranged at intervals with respect to the end face sides 27 and 28 of the tobacco group 11. The transverse seal seams 39, 40 are spaced from the tobacco group 11, while the longitudinal seal seam 38 is wrapped around the sheath 12.

  The exterior 12 is arranged so that the opening means 13 or the opening claw 14 and the operation claw 18 are positioned in the vicinity of the recess 32 in the collar 26. Therefore, the extraction opening 15 in the exterior 12 can reach the tobacco group 11 via the operation nail 18 by opening the opening nail 14.

  The longitudinal sealing seam portion 38 and the lateral sealing seam portions 39 and 40 are formed as fin-like seam portions by heat sealing of the fold portions of the exterior 12.

  Further, the lateral seal seam 39 is formed so that the cut lines 17 and 20 for the opening claw 14 or the operation claw 28 or their ends are located in the seam region. Thereby, it can prevent that the box 10 is opened large accidentally at the time of the opening, and is destroyed by this.

  11 and 12 show an alternative structure of the exterior 12 based on a vertical section of the box 10. In the embodiment according to FIG. 11, the sheath 12 is essentially formed of a single layer of foil. In the vicinity of the opening means 13, a label 41 is affixed to the foil for the exterior 12 inside. The label 41 is attached to the foil, with the sticking side facing the inside of the foil. In this embodiment, the label 41 corresponds to the inner layer 16 in the first embodiment, and includes an opening claw 14, an extraction opening 15, and a cut line 17 correspondingly. In the foil for the exterior 12, an operation claw 18 is defined by the cut line 20 correspondingly.

  In the embodiment according to FIG. 12, a label 42 is affixed to and adhered to a single layer foil for the exterior 12 on the outside. Correspondingly, in this case, an opening claw 14 and a corresponding extraction opening 15 are formed in the foil for the exterior 12. On the other hand, the operation nail 18 is defined by a cut line 20 in the label.

  In manufacturing the box body 10, it is preferable that the exterior 12 be used as a continuous material connection body. At this time, the material connection body has a gap line 43 in the lateral direction at intervals. Is provided. This material coupling body is first processed along the cut line 43 without being separated. Therefore, a continuous box connection body 44 is formed. At this time, the cut line 43 is formed between the two lateral sealing seams 39 and 40 between the two adjacent box bodies 10. In order to separate the boxes 10 one by one, the box connections 44 are simply separated along the cut line 43. The manufacturing of the box 10 will be described later.

  It is also conceivable to wrap the box 10 described above in a cigarette box made of cardboard, for example, in a hinge-lid box portion 45. This is illustrated in FIG. The box 10 having the closed exterior 12 is packaged in a hinge-lid box portion 45 made of cardboard and has a size corresponding to the size of the tobacco group 11. The lateral sealing seam 39 in the vicinity of the upper end surface side 27 is bent in the vicinity of the rear side 31, thereby closing the lid 46 of the hinge-lid box portion 45. The box 10 protrudes from the box 47 of the hinge-lid box 45 as a sealing block. At this time, the size is selected so that the exterior means 12 or the opening means 13 of the gripping piece 48 is located freely.

  15 and 16 show an outline of the first embodiment in the production of the box connector 44. The cigarettes for the cigarette group 11 are prepared in two groups by the vertical longitudinal holes 50 of the cigarette magazine 51, and the cigarette magazine 51 as a cigarette group 11 (cigarette block) by one slide member 52 respectively. Extruded from. Both the cigarette groups 11 are pushed from the slide member 52 through the bridge portion 53 into the accommodating portion 54 in the subsequent revolver 55. The revolver 55 is periodically rotated around a horizontal axis and is disposed perpendicular to the operation direction of the slide member 52. In addition, the revolver 55 includes an accommodation portion 54 for accommodating the tobacco group 11 that is evenly distributed around the revolver 55. The cigarette group 11 is pushed into the housing portion 54 at the 12 o'clock position of the revolver, and is pushed out of the revolver 55 at the 6 o'clock position, that is, after the revolver 55 rotates about 180 °, and is transferred to the revolver 56 for transfer. Is done.

  The transfer revolver 56 is directly connected to the revolver 55 and is similarly rotationally driven by the enemy periodically around a horizontal axis. The transfer revolver 56 is also provided with accommodating portions 57 that are evenly distributed around it. The phase revolver 56 is driven in a direction opposite to the revolver 55 and is disposed in a plane parallel to the revolver 55.

  The transfer revolver 56 guides the tobacco group 11 together with each collar 26. For this purpose, the collar 26 is first introduced into the accommodating portion 57 of the revolver 56, and then introduced into each tobacco group 11. The

  The collar 26 is first separated from the continuous material connector 58. Then, the material coupling body 58 is supplied to the conveyance roller 59 of the cutting device 60. Here, the cutting device 60 includes a cutter roller 61 and a counter roller 62 on opposite sides of the material coupling body 58. By this cutting device 60, the collar 26 is separated from the material coupling body 58, and then separated by a pair of conveying rollers 59. Thereafter, the collars 26 are separated from each other in the vicinity of the belt conveyor 63 and then separated.

  The collar 26 is conveyed in the horizontal direction in the vicinity of the color connector 64 in the horizontal direction, as in the case of separation into individual parts. In the collar coupling body 64, the collar 26 is arranged in a plane and is conveyed to the vicinity of the embossing machine 65. With this stamping machine 65, the inner collar 26 is continuously taken out from the collar coupling body 64 and is pushed into the mold 66 by the 90 ° rotation of the stamping machine 65. At this time, the collar 26 is bent into a U-shape.

  The bent collar 26 is transported to the accommodating portion 57 of the transfer revolver 56 that operates periodically by the slide member 67 acting on the accommodating portion 66, and is transferred to the revolver 56.

  After the bent collar 26 is introduced into the accommodating portion 57 of the transfer revolver 56, the transfer revolver 56 moves to an arbitrary position. Therefore, the cigarette group 11 can be pushed into the accommodating portion 57 along the horizontal plane at this station and integrated with the collar 26 prepared therein.

  After a further 180 ° rotation of the transfer revolver 56, the tobacco group 11 is pushed into the horizontal plane with the collar 26 located below it. For this purpose, another slide member 68 is used.

  After the tobacco group 11 having the collar 26 is extruded, the tobacco group 11 is packaged in an exterior. The corresponding foil connector 23 is taken up by the bobbin 69 and guided through the reciprocating storage 70. Thereafter, the foil connector 23 is guided to the upper region of the transport path of the tobacco group 11 pushed out from the transfer revolver 56 through the group of direction changing rollers 71. The tobacco group 11 is transported along a transport path defined by, for example, a guide in this part of the facility. As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the cigarette group 11 is pushed in by the entraining member 72 of the endless conveying device 73. The endless transport device 73 can be disposed below the transport path, and grips the cigarette group 11 including the collar 26 on the front side and the rear side and transports the cigarette group 11 in the transport direction.

  During the other common transport of the foil group 23 and the cigarette group 11 with the collar 25, the foil group 23 is gradually placed around the cigarette group 11. Therefore, a continuous tube-like thing is formed and the folds for the longitudinal seal seam 38 are located in contact with each other. The longitudinal sealing seam 38 is formed by a sealing device 74 disposed below the conveyance path. This is followed by a sealing device 81 for the transverse sealing seams 39, 40 and possibly for the cut line 43.
