Abstract
A packet for cigarette industry products, having a tray for receiving at least one group of products, and a device and a method for producing the same. The packet is characterized in that the tray is specified for receiving at least two groups of products, and in that at least one separator for delimiting two receptacle spaces for in each case at least one group of products is disposed in an interior of the tray, and in that the separator is formed from a wall of the tray.
Claims20
A packet for cigarette industry products, comprising:
- a tray (11) for receiving at least one group (10) of products, wherein the tray (11) is constructed to receive at least two groups (10) of products;
- and
- at least one separator (20) for delimiting two receptacle spaces for least one group (10) of products, the at least one separator (20) being disposed in an interior of the tray (11), and wherein the at least one separator (20) is formed from a wall of the tray (11),
- wherein the tray (11) has two large-area, mutually opposite walls, specifically an upright front wall (12) and a corresponding rear wall (13), wherein the tray (11) has two upright narrow side walls (14) which are mutually opposite and connect the front wall (12) and the rear wall (13) to one another, and wherein the tray (11) has a lower base wall (15) which connects the front wall (12), the rear wall (13) and the side walls (14) to one another, and
- wherein the at least one separator (20) is disposed in at least one of the large-area walls (12, 13), and wherein when the at least one separator (20) is in the position that delimits the receptacle spaces, the at least one separator (20) is secured on the base wall (15) of the tray (11).
2 more elements
A method for producing packets for cigarette industry products, comprising the steps of:
- introducing a blank (17) of packaging material for a tray (11) of the packet into a pocket (26) of a folding turret (25) that at least partially folds the blank (17);
- thereafter feeding a group (10) of products into the partially folded blank (17);
- and
- while the blank (17) is being transported onward on the folding turret (25), folding the blank (17) about the group (10) of products,
- wherein the blank (17) has at least one separator (20) which serves for delimiting two receptacle spaces in an interior of the tray (11) for at least one group (10) of products, and the at least one separator (20) is formed by part of a wall of the blank (17), and
- wherein the separator (20) is provided by a folding member to a position delimiting the receptacle spaces before the groups (10) of product are fed into the blank (17), and
- wherein when the at least one separator (20) is in the position delimiting the receptacle spaces, the at least one separator (20) is held by an aligning member until the two groups (10) of products on both sides of the separator (20) are fed into the pocket (26) and the blank (17) situated in the pocket (26).
4 more elements
A device for producing packets for cigarette industry products, the device comprising a folding turret (25), a folding member, and an aligning member,
- wherein the device is constructed for receiving a blank (17) of packaging material for a tray (11) of the packet in a pocket (26) of the folding turret (25), for at least partially folding the blank (17), and for thereafter introducing a group (10) of products into the partially folded blank (17), and for then folding the blank (17), while being transported onward on the folding turret (25), about the group (10) of products,
- wherein the blank (17) has at least one separator (20) which serves for delimiting two receptacle spaces in the interior of the tray (11) for at least one group (10) of products and is formed by part of a wall of the blank (17), and
- wherein the device, by way of the folding member, is constructed for pivoting the at least one separator (20) to a position delimiting the receptacle spaces before the groups (10) of products are fed, and
- wherein the aligning member is constructed for holding the at least one separator (20) in the position delimiting the receptacle spaces until the two groups (10) of products on both sides of the separator (20) have been fed into the pocket (26) and the blank (17) situated in the pocket (26).
