Description

Cigarette paper Büchel

The invention relates to a cigarette paper booklet for storing and providing cigarette paper leaflets for self-production of cigarettes, comprising a container in which at least one stack of cigarette paper leaflets is contained, the topmost layer of which through a removal opening associated with the stack on the wall forming the top of the container in the intended use ranges, and with a reclosable lid which is pivotally connected to an edge about a hinge axis with the container and which has a tab on a free edge, which is inserted into a slot in the container.

Such cigarette paper book is known from DE 203 17 744 U1. The lid obscures the dispensing opening (s) (in the case of multiple stacks of cigarette paper leaflets juxtaposed in the container) at the top of the container when in the closed position. In the stack or in the stacks are usually a plurality of leaflets, which are each folded around a fold line, so that the leaflet comprises two legs arranged one above the other. In the stack, the legs of successive leaflets face in opposite directions and the legs of adjacent leaflets are folded into one another so that the upper leg of a subsequent leaflet bears against the lower leg of a preceding leaflet. The upper leg of the topmost leaflet of the stack protrudes through the removal opening. The uppermost leaflet can be pulled out of it, whereby it entrains the next leaflet through the interleaving, so that its upper limb subsequently protrudes from the removal opening.

In the brand-new state, the lid is fixed by an additional banderole and / or by gluing to the container in the closed state. To open the lid for the purpose of removing the first leaflet, the band is torn open and / or the bond is released or the part of the lid which causes the bond is severed. In order to prevent the lid from jumping open automatically and, in particular, the legs of the leaflets projecting from the removal openings are soiled or damaged, a push-in tab is provided on the lid of the cigarette paper book according to DE 203 17 744 U1, which inserts into an insert mounted on the container - Opening is inserted.

In practice, it has been shown that, in particular, when the cigarette paper booklet is a so-called double booklet in which two stacks of cigarette paper papers folded into one another are accommodated next to one another and can be removed independently of one another by two removal openings extending parallel to one another Lid tends to accidentally pounce.

The object of the invention is to remedy this situation with the simplest possible measures and to provide a cigarette paper booklet in which the cover is better secured against being automatically broken open.

This object is achieved by the cigarette paper booklet reproduced in claim 1.

Characterized in that locking means are provided in the cigarette paper according to the invention on the insertion tab and on the insertion slot, an automatic unfolding of the lid is made more difficult. Because of these locking means additional force must be applied to overcome the latching force to open the lid.

The locking means may comprise a detent opening provided on the push-in tab and a detent projection provided in the push-in slot.

Preferred is an embodiment of the cigarette paper bush according to the invention, in which the insertion tab is formed by a lid projection which is folded around a along the parallel to the hinge axis extending free edge extending first fold line to the container.

When the cover extends over at least the entire surface of the upper side of the container, the insertion slot can then be provided in the region of a second fold line of the container extending parallel to the free wheel.

In a very particularly preferred variant, the latching opening is then delimited on the lid side by the first fold line, and the latching projection extends in the plug-in slot as far as the second fold line. Due to this configuration, it is possible to produce both the latching opening, as well as the latching projection by appropriate cutting of the material used for the cigarette paper, which has the very significant advantage that the attachment of additional parts to form the locking means is not necessary. The cigarette paper booklet according to the invention is therefore not associated with a higher production outlay than conventional cigarette paper booklets. It can be made of a one-piece blank of thick paper or thin cardboard with a basis weight of about 120 to 200 g / m ² - as well as conventional cigarette paper book.

Since the insertion of the tuck into the insertion opening is difficult if the tuck is deformed, it can, in particular when the blank has a relatively low basis weight to reinforce the tuck. Despite this reinforcement, the cigarette paper booklet may be made of a one-piece blank if, as is particularly preferred, the reinforcement is formed by a reinforcing tab folded over a free edge of the push-in tab. This can then be glued to the back of the tuck with this.

The cigarette paper book of the invention can be used both as a so-called single booklet, i. only a single cigarette paper stack of, for example, fifty cigarette paper leaflets, or as a so-called double booklet, i. two with their longitudinal sides juxtaposed stack of cigarette paper leaflets containing, be formed.

Exemplary embodiments of the cigarette paper book according to the invention are shown in the drawing. It shows:

Figure 1 is a Doppelbüchel trained, according to the invention Zigarettenpapierbüchel in a perspective view obliquely from the front with unfolded lid.

FIG. 2 shows a first embodiment of a blank from which the cigarette paper booklet according to FIG. 1 can be produced by folding and gluing; FIG.

FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of a blank from which the cigarette paper booklet according to FIG. 1 can be produced by folding and gluing, as well as FIG

Fig. 4 is a representation corresponding to Fig. 1 designed as a single book, cigarette paper book according to the invention.

The cigarette paper booklet denoted as a whole by 100 in FIG. 1 comprises a container 1 in the form of a flat parallelepiped containing two stacks 2, 3 folded in the longitudinal direction and laterally pushed together with the open legs into cigarette paper leaflets. Of the the stacks 2, 3 are each only the uppermost legs 4, 5 of the uppermost leaflet of the two stacks 2, 3 visible. They protrude from removal openings 6, 7 of the intended use of the cigarette paper book 100, the O- forming side wall 8 of the container 1 out.

The floor plan of the container 1, d. H. the outline of the wall 8 and the bottom 9 located underneath corresponds approximately to the contour of the two adjacent cigarette paper stacks 2, 3, the height 10 approximately the height of a complete cigarette paper stack 2, 3rd

In addition to the wall 8 and the bottom 9, the container 1 comprises two shorter side surfaces 11, 12 and two longer side surfaces 13, 14th

The cigarette paper book 100 further comprises a lid 15, which is hinged on a narrow hinge portion 16 on the bottom 9 and hinged about a hinge axis S connected to the container 1. The lid 15 has a surface corresponding to that of the wall 9 and the floor.

At its free edge 17, which opposite to the hinge axis S forming edge 18 and parallel to the hinge axis S, a tuck 19 is provided. It extends symmetrically to the center about one third of the length of the free edge 17 and is angled by the cover 15 about 90 ° down. The downwardly directed, free edge 20 is formed shorter than the connecting edge 21 with the lid 15, so that the tuck 19 tapers approximately downwardly in plan view in order to facilitate the insertion process. Along the connecting edge 21, a latching opening 22 is provided symmetrically to the center. For this purpose, a cut 23 is made from the connection edge 21 downwards and parallel to it, and the part separated from the insertion tab 19 by the cut 23 is formed into an extension 24 which runs in the same plane as the cover 15.

The extension 24 thus projects beyond the free edge 17 of the lid 15 and facilitates the manual attack on the lid, in particular for opening it. The latching opening 22 together with a latching projection 25 latching means 26. The latching projection 25 is symmetrical to the middle of an insertion opening 27 is provided. The latter extends within the upper wall 8 parallel to the front upper edge 28 of the container, which is formed by a second fold line 29. The edge 28 and thus the second fold line 29 extend in the closed state of the lid closely adjacent to the free edge 17 and the connecting edge 21, which is formed by a first fold line. The insertion opening 27 has dimensions that allow insertion of the insertion tab 19 with elastic Fortbiegen the locking projection 15. The latter engages in the latching opening 22, as soon as the lid 15 is completely closed, that is, its underside rests at least almost at the top of the wall 8. An opening of the lid is then only under elastic Fortbiegen the locking projection 15 until it releases the latching opening 22, possible.

As can be seen in particular in FIG. 2, which shows a first exemplary embodiment of a blank of a thin cardboard before folding into the bush according to the invention, the book can be produced from an integral blank by subsequent folding and gluing despite the additional locking means. The fold lines F, around which a respective folding by 90 °, are shown in dashed lines in Fig. 2. In order to fix the cigarette paper book 100 in the folded state, an adhesive layer 31 is applied to the upper side of the area forming the bottom 9. The additional locking means 26 form automatically when folding the blank due to the incisions Ei and E _second The recess Ei in the wall 8 comprises three areas: two outer, spaced a distance about roughly the material thickness of the tuck 19 from the fold line 29, and a central region which coincides with the fold line 29. The incision E ₂ in the Einstecklasche 19 is the fold line F, by which the Einstecklasche 19 is angled from the lid to roughly the material thickness of the locking projection 25 offset to the free edge 20 and has a length which is slightly larger than the length of the locking projection 25 is.

As can also be seen in FIG. 2, a cutout 32 is located in the central region of the longer side surface 14. It serves to form a window which the remaining stock of FIG. 1 rear cigarette paper stack 2 can be seen. A corresponding window for the front of FIG. 1 stack 3 is not provided and not necessary, since the consumer usually begins with the removal of cigarette paper leaflets of the front stack 3 and the removal of the rear stack 2 continues when the last leaflet of the first stack has been removed.

A second embodiment of a blank of a thin cardboard before folding into the booklet according to the invention is shown in FIG. This second embodiment corresponds essentially to the first, so that reference is made to avoid repetition of the description of FIG. 2. The only difference is that the free edge 20 of the Einstecklasche 19 is now formed by a fold line F, from which a reinforcing tab 33 extends. This is folded over to produce the Bücheis the back of the blank and glued to the Einstecklasche 19. It thus forms a reinforcement 34 for the tuck 19.

As already mentioned, the design of a cigarette paper book according to the invention is also suitable for single books which only contain a stack of cigarette paper leaflets. Such cigarette paper book is shown in Fig. 4. Since its structure and operation coincides with those of the illustrated and described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 double book, only the dimensions of the upper wall and the bottom are adapted to the individual stack, in order to avoid repetition of the comments be referred to the double book.
