Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Zigarettenklappschachtel, bestehend aus einem Schachtelteil und einem mit diesem klappbar verbundenen Deckel, sowie aus einem Kragen der aus einem gesonderten Zuschnitt gebildet ist.The invention relates to a cigarette folding box, consisting of a box part and a hinged lid connected thereto, as well as a collar which is formed from a separate blank.

Derartige (Zigaretten-)Klappschachteln bzw. Hinge-Lid-Packungen sind typisch für Zigaretten aber auch für andere Gegenstände. Der standardmäßige Aufbau sieht so aus, dass eine formatierte Zigaretten-Gruppe von einem Innenzuschnitt umhüllt ist und als Zigaretten-Block den Packungsinhalt bildet. Die Klappschachtel selbst besteht aus dünnem Karton. Der Deckel ist im Bereich einer Deckel-Rückwand über ein Liniengelenk mit einer Schachtel-Rückwand des Schachtelteils verbunden. Der Kragen besteht üblicherweise aus einem gesonderten Zuschnitt, kann aber auch einstückig mit dem übrigen Zuschnitt verbunden sein. Kragen-Vorderwand und Kragen-Seitenwand sind an der Innenseite des Schachtelteils mit diesem verbunden, insbesondere durch Klebung. Ein Kragen-Oberteil ragt aus dem Schachtelteil heraus.Such (cigarette) folding boxes or hinge-lid packs are typical for cigarettes but also for other items. The standard design looks like that a formatted cigarette group is wrapped by an inner blank and forms as a cigarette block the contents of the package. The folding box itself consists of thin cardboard. The lid is connected in the region of a lid rear wall via a line joint with a box rear wall of the box part. The collar usually consists of a separate blank, but may also be integrally connected to the rest of the blank. Collar front wall and collar side wall are connected to the inside of the box part with this, in particular by gluing. A collar top protrudes from the box part.

Ein Problem dieses Packungstyps besteht darin, den Deckel bei geschlossener Verpackung in einer exakten Schließstellung zu halten. Besonders bei Klappschachteln mit abgerundeten, aufrechten Packungskanten (Rundkanten) und abgeschrägten Kanten ist eine Schließhilfe wünschenswert.A problem with this type of package is that the lid is kept in an exact closed position when the package is closed. Especially with hinged boxes with rounded, upright packing edges (round edges) and bevelled edges, a closing aid is desirable.

Aus der EP-A-0 507 112 ist eine Klappschachtel für Zigaretten bekannt, bei der im Bereich von Kragenseitenwänden durch geeignete Schnitte gebildete Auswölbungen vorhanden sind, die in Schließstellung einen zusätzlichen Reibschluss zwischen Deckel und Kragen bewirken.From the EP-A-0 507 112 a folding box for cigarettes is known in which formed in the region of collar side walls by suitable cuts bulges are present, which cause an additional frictional engagement between the lid and collar in the closed position.

Aus der GB 863 920 ist weiterhin eine Klappschachtel für Zigaretten bekannt, bei der in einem Ausführungsbeispiel durch Umfalten eines Deckelinnenlappens eine wulstartige Verdickung als Vorsprung gebildet ist. Dieser Vorsprung steht bei geschlossenem Deckel in Eingriff mit einer in der Außenseite der Kragen-Seitenwand gebildeten Vertiefung. In allen gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen verlaufen der Vorsprung und die Vertiefung in Längsrichtung der Klappschachtel, sodass diese dem Öffnen des Deckels durch Reibschluss entgegenwirken.From the GB 863,920 Furthermore, a folding box for cigarettes is known in which in one embodiment, by folding a lid inner flap a bead-like thickening is formed as a projection. This projection is in closed lid in engagement with a recess formed in the outside of the collar side wall. In all embodiments shown, the projection and the recess extend in the longitudinal direction of the folding box, so that they counteract the opening of the lid by frictional engagement.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Zigarettenklappschachtel vorzuschlagen, die mit einer einfach herzustellenden und in der Praxis noch wirksameren Schließhilfe für den Deckel ausgestattet ist.The invention has for its object to propose a cigarette carton, which is equipped with a simple to produce and in practice even more effective closing aid for the lid.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe weist die erfindungsgemäße Zigarettenklappschachtel die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 auf.To solve this problem, the cigarette carton according to the invention has the features of claim 1.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Klappschachtel wird demnach die Schließhilfe im Bereich von schmalen Seitenwänden gebildet, und zwar zwischen Kragen-Seitenwand einerseits und Deckel-Seitenwand andererseits. Die Schließhilfe besteht aus miteinander korrespondierenden Organen, die unmittelbar Teile der Deckel-Seitenwand und/oder der Kragen-Seitenwand sind. Die Organe der Schließhilfe werden ausschließlich durch Prägen, also Materialverformung, und/oder durch Stanzen gebildet. Der Zuschnitt für die Klappschachtel hat im übrigen die standardmäßige Kontur.In the folding box according to the invention, therefore, the closing aid is formed in the region of narrow side walls, between the collar side wall on the one hand and the lid side wall on the other. The closing aid consists of mutually corresponding organs, which are immediately parts of the lid side wall and / or the collar side wall. The organs of the closing aid are formed exclusively by embossing, ie material deformation, and / or by punching. The cut for the folding box has the rest of the standard contour.

Vorteilhafte Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung machen sich die übliche Konstruktion einer Klappschachtel zunutze, bei der nämlich die Deckel-Seitenwände doppellagig ausgebildet sind. Sie bestehen aus einem äußeren Deckel-Seftenlappen und einem inneren Deckel-Seitenlappen. An den Kragen-Seitenwänden gebildete, zur Deckel-Seitenwand gerichtete Vorsprünge liegen in Schließstellung am inneren Deckel-Seitenlappen an oder stehen in Eingriff mit hier angeordneten korrespondierenden Vorsprüngen. Bei Nutzung lediglich kraftschlüssiger Verbindungen liegen Vorsprünge jeweils an der gegenüberliegenden Wandung der Klappschachtel mit erhöhter Reibung an.Advantageous embodiments of the invention make use of the usual construction of a folding box, in which the lid side walls are double-layered. They consist of an outer lid-Seftenlappen and an inner lid-side flap. Formed on the collar side walls, directed towards the lid side wall projections are in the closed position on the inner lid side tabs or are in engagement with arranged here corresponding projections. When using only non-positive connections are projections each on the opposite wall of the folding box with increased friction.

Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführung der Klappschachtel ist die eine mit einer Schließhilfe versehene Wandung, insbesondere die Kragen-Seitenwand, mit einem Vorsprung und die andere Wandung mit einer Vertiefung bzw. einer Öffnung oder einem Loch versehen, insbesondere der innere Deckel-Seitenlappen. In Schließstellung tritt der Vorsprung der Kragen-Seitenwand in die Öffnung bzw. das Loch in dem Deckel-Seitenlappen ein.In a further advantageous embodiment of the folding box which is provided with a closing aid wall, in particular the collar side wall, provided with a projection and the other wall with a recess or an opening or a hole, in particular the inner lid side tabs. In the closed position, the projection of the collar side wall enters the opening or the hole in the lid side tabs.

Die Organe der Schließhilfe werden bei der Fertigung der Zuschnitte für die Klappschachtel einerseits und für den Kragen andererseits angebracht, so daß in bezug auf die Schließhilfe fertige Zuschnitte der Verpackungsmaschine zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Fertigungstechnisch ist es einfach, die Vorsprünge, Vertiefungen oder Stanzungen im Bereich der ebenen Zuschnitte bei deren Fertigung anzubringen.The organs of the closing aid are mounted on the one hand and for the collar on the other hand in the production of the blanks for the folding box on the other hand, so that in relation to the closing aid ready blanks of the packaging machine are provided. Manufacturing technology, it is easy to attach the projections, recesses or punches in the field of flat blanks in their production.

Entsprechend sind Boden-Ecklappen 33 mit der Bodenwand 16 verbunden.With the inner lid side strips 31 lid Ecidappen 32 are connected, which abut in the finished packaging on the inside of the end wall 21 and are glued thereto. Accordingly, bottom corner tabs 33 are connected to the bottom wall 16.

An die Deckel-Vorderwand 17 schließt ein Dekkel-Innenlappen 34 an, der bei der fertigen Klappschachtel gegen die Innenseite der Deckel-Vorderwand 17 gefaltet und mit dieser verbunden ist.To the lid front wall 17 includes a lid inner tabs 34, which is folded in the finished folding box against the inside of the lid front wall 17 and connected thereto.

Zu einer Klappschachtel gehört weiterhin ein Kragen 35. Dieser besteht hier aus einem gesonderten Zuschnitt (Fig. 3). Der Kragen 35 besteht aus einer Kragen-Vorderwand 36 und Kragen-Seitenwänden 37, 38. Der so ausgebildete Kragen 35 ist im Schachtelteil 10 positioniert, derart, daß ein unterer Teil der Kragen-Vorderwand 36 innen an der Schachtel-Vorderwand 12 anliegt. Die Kragen-Seitenwände 37, 38 liegen innen an den Schachtel-Seitenwänden 14, 15 an. Der Kragen 35 ist mit dem Schachtelteil 10 verbunden, zum Beispiel durch Klebung.A collapsible box further includes a collar 35. This consists of a separate blank ( Fig. 3 ). The collar 35 is comprised of a collar front wall 36 and collar sidewalls 37, 38. The thus formed collar 35 is positioned in the carton portion 10 such that a lower portion of the collar front wall 36 engages the inside of the box front wall 12. The collar sidewalls 37, 38 rest on the inside of the box sidewalls 14, 15. The collar 35 is connected to the box part 10, for example by gluing.

Die Relativstellung des Kragens 35 zum Schachtelteil 10 ist so gewählt, daß ein oberer Teil, nämlich ein Kragen-Oberteil 39 aus dem Schachtelteil 10 herausragt. Das Kragen-Oberteil 39 ist in Schließstellung der Klappschachtel innerhalb des Deckels 11 positioniert, nämlich im Bereich von Deckel-Vorderwand 17 und Deckel-Seitenwänden 19, 20. Die Kragen-Seitenwände 37, 38 liegen dabei an den zugeordneten Deckel-Seitenwänden 19, 20 an.The relative position of the collar 35 to the box part 10 is selected so that an upper part, namely a collar upper part 39 protrudes from the box part 10. The collar upper part 39 is positioned in the closed position of the folding box within the lid 11, namely in the region of the lid front wall 17 and lid side walls 19, 20. The collar side walls 37, 38 lie on the associated lid side walls 19, 20th at.

Die vorliegenden Klappschachteln sind mit einer Schließhilfe versehen, also mit Organen, die die in Fig. 1, Fig. 2 und in Fig. 9 gezeigte Schließstellung der Klappschachtel stabilisieren, gleichwohl aber den Öffnungs- und Schließvorgang nicht behindern.The present folding boxes are provided with a closing aid, ie with organs, the in Fig. 1 . Fig. 2 and in Fig. 9 Stabilize shown closed position of the folding box, but not hinder the opening and closing process.

Die Schließhilfen bestehen im vorliegenden Fall aus verformten und/oder gestanzten Teilbereichen von aufgrund der Konstruktion einer Klappschachtel vorhandenen Wandungen derselben. Im vorliegenden Falle wird eine zusätzliche Schließkraft durch Wechselwirkung zwischen den Deckel-Seitenwänden 19, 20 einerseits und den Kragen-Seitenwänden 37, 38 andererseits bewirkt.The closing aids consist in the present case of deformed and / or punched portions of existing due to the construction of a folding box walls of the same. In the present case, an additional closing force is caused by interaction between the lid side walls 19, 20 on the one hand and the collar side walls 37, 38 on the other.

Eine Ausführungsform der Schließhilfe ergibt sich aus Fig. 1 sowie Fig. 3 bis Fig. 5 sowie Fig. 7 und Fig. 8. Einander zugekehrte Wandungen im Bereich des Deckels 11, nämlich Kragen-Seitenwände 37, 38 einerseits und die innenliegenden Deckel-Seitenstreifen 31 andererseits sind mit Vorsprüngen versehen, die bei geschlossener Klappschachtel (Fig. 1, Fig. 5) miteinander formschlüssig in Eingriff stehen. Zu diesem Zweck sind im Bereich der Kragen-Seitenwände 37, 38 im oberen Bereich, also innerhalb des Kragen-Oberteils 39, zu den Deckel-Seitenwänden 19, 20 gerichtete Vorsprünge 40 angeordnet. Diese sind durch Prägen des Materials der Kragen-Seitenwände 37, 38 gebildet. Der Querschnitt der Vorsprünge 40 ergibt sich aus Fig. 4. Danach ist ein winkelförmiger Querschnitt gegeben mit einer unteren schräggerichteten Stützfläche 41. Die hieran oben anschließende Wandung 42 des Vorsprungs 40 ist hier gewölbt. Insgesamt hat der Vorsprung 40 eine bogenförmige Kontur mit einem quergerichteten Abschluß als Stützfläche 41. Der Vorsprung 40 wird zweckmäßigerweise bei der Herstellung des Zuschnitts für den Kragen 35 durch Prägen eingeformt.An embodiment of the closing aid results from Fig. 1 such as FIG. 3 to FIG. 5 such as FIGS. 7 and 8 , Mutually facing walls in the region of the lid 11, namely collar side walls 37, 38 on the one hand and the inner lid side strips 31 on the other hand are provided with projections which when the folding box closed ( Fig. 1 . Fig. 5 ) together positively engage. For this purpose, in the region of the collar side walls 37, 38 in the upper region, ie within the collar upper part 39, to the cover side walls 19, 20 directed projections 40 are arranged. These are formed by stamping the material of the collar side walls 37, 38. The cross section of the projections 40 results from Fig. 4 , Thereafter, an angular cross-section is given with a lower inclined support surface 41. The adjoining wall 42 of the projection 40 is curved here. Overall, the projection 40 has an arcuate contour with a transverse termination as a support surface 41. The projection 40 is advantageously formed in the manufacture of the blank for the collar 35 by embossing.

Auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite, also an den inneren Deckel-Seitenstreifen 31, ist ein Gegenvorsprung 43 gebildet. Dieser hat im vorliegenden Falle die gleiche geometrische Gestalt wie der Vorsprung 40, wobei die Stützfläche 41 nach oben gerichtet ist. Die Relativstellung von Vorsprung 40 und Gegenvorsprung 43 ist so gewählt, daß in Schließstellung der Klappschachtel (Fig. 1, Fig. 5) die Vorsprünge 40, 43 formschlüssig miteinander in Eingriff stehen. Dies bedeutet, daß die Stützflächen 41 der beiden Vorsprünge aneinanderliegen (Fig. 5). Dadurch ergibt sich beim Schlie-ßen der Klappschachtel ein Effekt des Einrastens bzw. des Einschnappens. Beim Öffnen des Deckels 11 ist ein leichter Widerstand zu überwinden.On the opposite side, so on the inner lid side strips 31, a counter-projection 43 is formed. This has in the present case, the same geometric shape as the projection 40, wherein the support surface 41 is directed upward. The relative position of projection 40 and counter projection 43 is selected so that in the closed position of the folding box ( Fig. 1 . Fig. 5 ), the projections 40, 43 are positively engaged with each other. This means that the support surfaces 41 of the two projections abut each other ( Fig. 5 ). This results in closing the folding box an effect of snapping or snapping. When opening the lid 11, a slight resistance is overcome.

Eine modifizierte Ausführung der Schließhilfe ergibt sich aus Fig. 6 sowie aus Fig. 9 bis Fig. 11. Bei dieser Ausführung ist lediglich an einer Seite, nämlich an den Kragen-Seitenwänden 37, 38, ein Vorsprung 44 gebildet. Dieser ist hier in gleicher Weise gestaltet wie der Vorsprung 40 der beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiele, also mit Stützfläche 41 und Wandung 42.A modified version of the closing aid results from Fig. 6 as well as out Fig. 9 to Fig. 11 , In this embodiment, only on one side, namely on the collar side walls 37, 38, a projection 44 is formed. This is designed here in the same way as the projection 40 of the described embodiments, ie with support surface 41 and wall 42nd

Der Vorsprung 44 arbeitet mit dem inneren Deckel-Seitenstreifen 31 zusammen. Beim Öffnen und Schließen des Deckels gleitet der Vorsprung 44 mit einer nach außen gerichteten Reibkante 45 an der Innenseite des Deckel-Seitenstreifens 31 entlang. Dadurch ergibt sich in Schließstellung eine erhöhte Schließkraft.The projection 44 cooperates with the inner lid side strip 31. When opening and closing the lid, the projection 44 slides along with an outwardly directed friction edge 45 on the inside of the lid side strip 31. This results in the closed position an increased clamping force.

Dieser Effekt wird im vorliegenden Falle dadurch verstärkt, daß der Vorsprung 44 in Schließstellung in eine Vertiefung des Deckels 11 einrastet, nämlich in ein Loch 46, welches im Deckel-Seitenstreifen 31 gebildet ist. Das Loch 46 (Fig. 10, Fig. 11) ist so positioniert, daß exakt in der Schließstellung des Deckels 11 der Einrasteffekt entsteht. Die geometrische Form des Lochs 46 entspricht der des Vorsprungs 44, so daß dieser in Schließstellung der Klappschachtel passend, formschlüssig in dem Loch 46 Aufnahme findet (Fig. 9). Der Einrastvorgang beim Schließen und Öffnen des Deckels 11 ist dadurch erleichtert.This effect is reinforced in the present case that the projection 44 engages in the closed position in a recess 11 of the lid, namely in a hole 46 which is formed in the lid side strip 31. The hole 46 ( Fig. 10, Fig. 11 ) is positioned so that exactly in the closed position of the lid 11, the latching effect arises. The geometric shape of the hole 46 corresponds to that of the projection 44, so that it fits fittingly in the closed position of the folding box in the hole 46 ( Fig. 9 ). The latching action when closing and opening the lid 11 is facilitated.

Die Schließhilfen können in verschiedener Hinsicht abgewandelt sein. Dies gilt insbesondere für die aus dem Material des Kragens 35 bzw. des Deckels 11 durch Prägen und/oder Stanzen geformten Vorsprünge.The closing aids can be modified in various ways. This applies in particular to the projections formed from the material of the collar 35 or the cover 11 by embossing and / or punching.
