Description
- This is the United States Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) Chapter II National Phase of PCT/EP02/08113 having an international filing date of 20 Jul. 2002, which claims priority on German patent application no. 10135409.6 having a filing date of 25 Jul. 2001.
- 1. Technical Field
- The invention relates to a hinge-lid box for cigarettes or other elongate articles, comprising a blank made of thin cardboard or similar packaging material for forming a box part and lid, which can be pivoted with the box part in the region of a box rear wall, the box part comprising a box front wall, box rear wall, base wall and two mutually opposite box side walls, and the lid comprising a lid front wall, lid rear wall, end wall and lid side walls, which correspond to the box side walls. The invention also deals with the configuration of a blank for a hinge-lid box.
- 2. Prior Art
- Hinge-lid boxes have been used for some time now as a standard form of packaging for cigarettes which is common throughout the world. The pack contents, formed by a cigarette group, are usually enclosed by an inner blank (tinfoil paper). The resulting cigarette block forms the pack contents. The hinge-lid box itself is usually provided with a collar, which mostly comprises a separate blank and is anchored in the box part.
- Hinge-lid boxes are predominantly of cuboidal design with a rectangular cross section and right-angled upright pack edges. For adaptation to the shape of the pack contents, namely to the round cigarettes, packs with an octagonal cross section and with rounded upright pack edges have already been proposed.
- The object of the invention is to propose a novel shape or configuration of a hinge-lid box, in particular for cigarettes, which ensures improved adaptation to the pack contents and, furthermore, is easy to handle during use.
- In order to achieve this object, the hinge-lid box according to the invention is characterized in that at least one of the box side walls and, correspondingly, of the associated lid side wall comprises two wall sections directed at an (obtuse) angle in relation to one another. The pack is preferably of symmetrical design, that is to say with corresponding side walls, which each have a roof-shaped symmetrical cross section with a pack edge in an imaginary central transverse plane of the pack and wall sections of the same width.
- The otherwise conventionally designed collar is adapted to the contour of the hinge-lid box, and thus has a roof-shaped angling in the region of collar side tabs, with two tab sections which are directed at an angle in relation to one another being formed in the process.
- According to a further proposal of the invention, it is possible for individual upright pack edges, or all the upright pack edges, to be rounded in adaptation to the contour of the cigarettes or of the cigarette group. In the best-case scenario, all (six) upright pack edges are rounded, including the corresponding edges of the collar.
- A further special feature is that the box side tabs and lid side tabs, for forming the side walls, only partially overlap, namely in the region of a wall section, that is to say in each case as far as the central pack edge of the side wall on account of a narrow inner side tab. Furthermore, corner tabs, namely base corner tabs and end corner tabs, are configured in a particular manner.
- Further features and details of the hinge-lid box according to the invention and of the blanks for producing the same are explained in more detail hereinbelow with reference to the drawings, in which:

FIG. 14 shows the pack according toFIG. 13 in a plan view in the direction of arrow XIV, and -
FIG. 15 toFIG. 17 show partial cross sections of a filled hinge-lid box along a section plane XV-XV fromFIG. 13 for three exemplary embodiments of hinge-lid box. - A hinge-lid box serves preferably for accommodating
cigarettes 10. Acigarette group 11 is enclosed by aninner wrapper 12 made of paper, tinfoil or the like. A resulting cigarette block forms the contents of the hinge-lid box. - A hinge-lid box basically comprises a (bottom)
box part 13 and alid 14. Thelid 14 is connected in a pivotable manner, via anarticulation 15, to thebox part 13. Thebox part 13 comprises abox front wall 16, boxrear wall 17, narrowbox side walls bottom base wall 20. Correspondingly, the lid comprises a lidfront wall 21, lidrear wall 22,lid side walls end wall 25. Thearticulation 15 connects the lidrear wall 22 to the boxrear wall 17. - A hinge-lid box also contains a
collar 26. In this case, the latter comprises a separate blank (for example,FIG. 4 ). Thecollar 26 forms a collarfront wall 27 andcollar tabs 28. Thecollar 26 is fixed (by adhesive bonding) within thebox part 13, such that a top sub-region projects out of thebox part 13 and, when the hinge-lid box is closed, is encased by thelid 14. - One special feature of the present hinge-lid box is that the cross-sectional shape of the latter is adapted, by a corresponding configuration of the
side walls cigarette group 11. For this purpose, the side walls of thebox part 13 and of thelid 14 are of essentially roof-shaped design, in any case with twowall sections wall sections - The exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 4 has sharp-edged contours. The
side walls central edge 35 along an imaginary central transverse plane of the hinge-lid box. The twowalls sections wall sections - The
box side walls collar side walls respective side tabs lid side tabs - In the case of the present hinge-lid box, the
outer side tab 31 and, likewise, the outerlid side tab 33 extends over the entire width of the pack and/or of theside walls outer side tab 31 orlid side tab 33 is provided with a (more or less) central folding line for forming thecentral edge 35. Theinner side tab 32 orlid side tab 34 has a considerably smaller width than the respectiveouter side tab 31 orlid side tab 33.
