Definitions

  • Hinged boxes are used worldwide as packaging for cigarettes. The structure of this type of pack is largely uniform. This also applies to the dimensions. Changes in size are associated with far-reaching effects. Vending machines for the delivery of cigarette packs have to be redesigned. In some countries, tax stamps are stamped on packages. The stamping units are set up for predetermined package dimensions.
  • cigarettes are increasingly being introduced whose diameter is significantly smaller than that of conventional cigarettes. With the same number, this results in a smaller dimension of the cigarette block, in particular the depth. This creates a cavity within the pack, which is (partly) filled with foam or corrugated cardboard fillers.
  • a hinged box with a filler completely surrounding the cigarette block is known.
  • the latter also functions as a collar.
  • the actual part of the filling piece which fills the existing cavity is provided in the known region of the pack rear wall.
  • the filler is very complex to manufacture and handle.
  • the invention is concerned with packages of the aforementioned type and also with the problem of the smaller dimensions of the block-shaped package contents compared to the interior of the package.
  • the invention has for its object to improve the package in terms of type, design and arrangement of the filler such that it requires less material and occupies a convenient position within the package.
  • the packing according to the invention is characterized in that the collar front wall for forming the filling piece has an area, as compared to the rest of the collar front wall, which is set into the packing as a supporting body, corresponding to the depth dimension of the cavity.
  • the filling piece is formed as part of a blank which is part of the standard package, the filling piece being designed such that it extends in particular over the full width of the pack or the cavity.
  • An embodiment of the invention is particularly advantageous in which a spacer is formed from a collar front wall of a collar arranged as standard in a pack of the hinged box type.
  • the collar front wall is provided with a recess, which is formed by folding and extends across the width of the pack, or an inside projection which extends over the full width of the interior of the pack and against which the cigarette block lies as the contents of the pack .
  • This support body which is formed by folds in the region of the collar front wall, is arranged according to the invention in the upper region of the collar front wall, so that a region of the collar surrounding a customary recess in the collar front wall is set back inwards, while the remaining, lower part of the collar Front wall rests against the inside of the pack front wall or the box front wall and is connected to it.
  • the support body of the collar front wall has a support wall which extends transversely across the width thereof and according to the invention is (approximately) flush with an upper free edge of the box front wall.
  • the aforementioned support wall can also be arranged at a distance below the free edge of the front wall. In this case, an upwardly open chamber is created within the package.
  • the folding of the collar front wall to form the support body is designed according to a further invention proposal so that collar side tabs extend over the full depth of the pack (the interior).
  • the collar side tabs are connected to the recessed support wall of the support body via a folding web.
  • Such a pack consists of a box part 10 and a hinged lid 12 pivotally attached to a box rear wall 11.
  • the box part 10 further consists of a bottom wall 13 and a box front wall 14.
  • Box side walls 15, 16 are covered by inner and overlapping outer side tabs 17, 18 are formed, which are connected to the box rear wall 11 (inner side tabs 17) and to the box front wall 14 (outer side tabs 18).
  • the hinged lid 12 also consists of the lid front wall 19, lid rear wall 20, an end wall 21 and lid side walls 22, 23.
  • the pack also includes a collar 24, which in the present exemplary embodiment is designed as a separate blank (FIGS. 4 and 5).
  • the collar 24 consists of a collar front wall 25 and collar side tabs 26, 27.
  • the collar 24 is arranged with the lower area in the box part 10 as standard.
  • a lower area of the collar front wall lies against the box front wall 14 and is connected to it by adhesive.
  • the lower side of the collar side tabs 26, 27 abuts the inside of the box side walls 15, 16, possibly with a bond by gluing.
  • An upper area of the collar protruding from the box part 10 is enclosed by the hinged lid 12 in the closed position of the pack.
  • the cuboid pack made from thin cardboard is particularly suitable for holding cigarettes or other cuboid objects.
  • the cigarettes are formed as a cigarette group and are surrounded by an inner blank 28 (made of tin foil). A cuboid block 29 is thus formed.
  • the cigarette block 29 as the contents of the pack has a smaller depth (dimension between box rear wall 11 and box front wall 14) than the corresponding dimension of the interior of the pack. This creates a cavity 30 which is not filled by the package contents. In this cavity 30 there is a filler which partially fills the cavity 30 and supports the cigarette block 29 so that it is held within the package with practically no play.
  • the cavity 30 is located in the front area of the package.
  • the cigarette block 29 therefore lies against the rear wall 11 of the box.
  • the filler consists here of a part of the standard pack, namely a part of the collar 24.
  • the front wall 25 of the collar forms a support body 31 which extends practically over the full width of the pack or of the interior. This forms together with other parts of the pack, namely with the lid front wall 19 and optionally the box front wall 14 a cuboid hollow body.
  • the collar front wall 25 is folded angularly at about half the height, such that an upper support wall 32 is recessed inward relative to a lower connecting tab 33 of the collar front wall 25.
  • Support wall 32 and connecting tab 33 are by a transverse folding strip 34 of the collar front wall 25 connected to each other. This results in a preferably right-angled shoulder in the region of the collar front wall 25.
  • Support wall 32 and transverse folding strip 34 extend over the full width of the interior of the pack, namely from the one collar flap 26 (folded into a transverse position) to the other collar -Lateral tabs 27.
  • the support wall 32 is provided with a conventional, upwardly open recess 35, so that the support wall 32 is given a U-shaped shape.
  • the collar side tabs 26, 27 are connected to the collar front wall 25 only in the region of the inwardly set support wall 32. In the area of folding strips 34 and folding tabs 33, the collar side tabs 26, 27 are separated from the collar front wall 25 by upright separating cuts 36.
  • the blank for the collar 24 (Fig. 4) has a greater width than in the conventional design of the pack.
  • a web 37, 38 is formed between the collar side tabs 26, 27 on the one hand and the collar front wall 25 on the other hand. These webs 37, 38 are folded with the support wall 32, such that they abut the inside of the collar side tabs 26, 27.
  • the collar 24 or the support body 31 is thereby given a stable three-dimensional shape.
  • the collar side tabs 26, 27 extend over the full depth of the interior of the box part 10 and form resilient support elements due to the double-walled design in the partial area.
  • the connecting tab 33 which is designed like a tongue in the lower part, is connected in the usual way by gluing to the inside of the box front wall 14.
  • the folding strip 34 is arranged at the level of an upper free edge 39 of the box part 10, that is to say flush with it.
  • the folding can also be chosen so that the folding strip 34 and thus the shoulder formed within the collar front wall 25 is lower, ie inside the box part 10. This creates an upwardly open chamber in the front, upper region of the box part 10, which is suitable for holding auxiliary objects such as matches etc.
  • the support body 31 designed and arranged in the manner described is located within the pack at a height which is advantageous for fixing the cigarette block 29.
  • the support body 31 can be produced with little material and in a mechanically advantageous manner.
