Abstract
Apparatus for producing cuboid-shaped (cigarette) packages. During the production of cuboid-shaped packages, in particular bundle packages made of thin cardboard, it is necessary to form sharp-edged package edges (44, 45), namely those having a right-angled cross-section. This is ensured by means of a folding aid, namely by edge supports (40, 41), around which the folding flaps (27, 28) are folded to form the package edges (44, 45). The edge supports (40, 41) are retracted from their supporting position after folding is completed and the package is finished.
Claims9
Apparatus for producing cuboid-shaped (cigarette) packages having an outer wrapper which can be folded around the package's contents, in particular around a group of packs (12), in a pocket (17) of a folding assembly—folding turret (15)—, thus forming essentially right angled pack edges (44, 45), characterized in that at least during the folding of the folding flaps which form the package edges (44, 45)—end flaps (27, 28)—folding aids are arranged in the region of the package edges (44, 45) to be produced, in particular edge supports (40, 41) around which the folding flaps (27, 28) can be folded.
