Abstract

A cigarette pack with an outer pack ( 10 ) in the embodiment as a hinge lid box and with an inner pack ( 11 ) as a sealed block is provided with an opening tab ( 21 ) for the inner pack ( 11 ) and with a closure label ( 23 ) for actuating the opening tab ( 21 ). The closure label ( 23 ) is fixed on the inner side of a lid front wall ( 34 ) by means of an actuating tab ( 28 ) and is movable with the lid ( 30 ) into the opening position. Pressure members ( 45, 46 ) cause the closure label ( 23 ) to be pressed with regions of glue onto the inner side of the lid front wall ( 34 ).

Claims (9)

1. A pack, in particular for a cigarette group ( 12 ), comprising:

an inner pack ( 11 ) with an inner blank for wrapping the cigarette group ( 12 ) and an outer pack ( 10 ) in the embodiment as a hinge lid pack, the outer pack ( 10 ) consisting of a box part ( 29 ), a lid ( 30 ) with a lid inner flap ( 39 ) folded against the inner side of a lid front wall ( 34 ), and a collar ( 47 ), which is formed from a separate blank, with a collar front wall ( 48 ) and collar side flaps ( 62 ),

wherein the collar front wall ( 48 ) has a recess ( 49 ) which is open toward the lid ( 30 ) of the outer pack ( 10 ) or toward an inner end wall ( 16 ) of the inner pack ( 11 ) and in the region of which a closure label ( 23 ) for opening and closing a removal opening ( 22 ) of the inner pack ( 11 ) is arranged, and wherein the closure label ( 23 ) is attached to the lid inner flap ( 39 ) by glue, and

wherein the recess ( 49 ) of the collar front wall ( 48 ) and the lid inner flap ( 39 ) are coordinated with each other in respect of size and/or geometrical shape and/or positioning or position in such a manner that the lid inner flap ( 39 ) lies completely within the recess ( 49 ) when the lid ( 30 ) is closed.

2. The pack as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the recess ( 49 ) of the collar front wall ( 48 ) has obliquely directed web edges ( 73 ) which diverge toward the free side, in such a manner that webs ( 57 ), which are part of the collar front wall ( 48 ) and which bound the recess ( 49 ) and have the obliquely directed web edges ( 73 ), are formed in the region of the collar front wall ( 48 ), and in that the lid inner flap ( 39 ) is of trapezoidal design with side edges ( 75 ) which, when the lid inner flap ( 39 ) is folded, run approximately parallel to the web edges ( 73 ), along lateral boundary edges of the recess ( 49 ).

3. The pack as claimed in claim 1 :

wherein the recess ( 49 ) in the region of the collar front wall ( 48 ) extends into a region of the box part ( 29 ) of the outer pack ( 10 ), the region of the box part ( 29 ) being a box front wall ( 31 ), wherein the box front wall ( 31 ) has a cutout or an opening in the region of a transversely directed closing edge ( 63 ) in order to form a window ( 76 ) when the lid ( 30 ) is closed, and

wherein the recess ( 49 ) of the collar front wall ( 48 ) is arranged in such a manner that the window ( 76 ) is completely located in the region of the recess ( 49 ).

4. The pack as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the size of the window ( 76 ) transversely with respect to the pack along the closing edge ( 63 ) is coordinated with the length of a folding edge of the lid inner flap ( 39 ) with the lid edge ( 40 ) in such a manner that the size of the window ( 76 ) corresponds to the length of the folding edge or of the lid edge ( 40 ).
