Summary of the finding

A package (1) with a soft container, consisting of a composite sheet (3) in a single piece, for cigarettes (2) at its end, housing the end. head (4) of cigarettes without filter,? equipped with a reinforcement insert (6) in the shape of a hood, which covers the cigarette heads from the front, encloses them on the contour and therefore designs them against deformation.

(Figure 1).

Description of the finding

The invention relates to a soft container package for stick articles in the tobacco processing industry, especially for cigarettes having at least one end. head without filter, consisting of a blank of paper, sheet of synthetic material or similar.

The soft container packages of the kind indicated at the beginning, in addition to the use, relatively expensive in terms of processing and material, of more? separate blanks of different materials are also produced from a single blank in the form of a so-called composite leaf. This composite leaf? structured, respectively coated in order to satisfy different tasks. What? for an airtight closure of cigarettes even with a one-piece composite foil of this type, a loss of moisture is prevented. and aroma of cigarettes, where the outer side of the leaf of the soft container can? be equipped with trademarks, markings, denominations and the like.

On the other hand, the soft container packages produced with the described composite leaves lack the necessary stability. and resistance.

The invention has the task of taking precautions, which protect especially the delicate extremities? head of cigarettes against external actions, respectively crushing and deformation, and therefore prevent the leakage of tobacco.

According to the invention this problem is solved by means of a reinforcing insert, which? inserted in the package with a soft container and frontally, as well as? on the edge, it encloses a block of cigarettes in the shape of a parallelepiped, in the ambit of the extremities? head of cigarettes.

This reinforcement insert, in accordance with a further proposal, appropriately? made of a material slightly more? often in the form of a cardboard blank or similar. To produce a hood or hood shape of the reinforcement insert, which can be done? being fitted onto the cigarette block or inserted into the cigarette block, in accordance with a further advantageous development, the blank for the reinforcement insert has a long central strip, two long lateral strips, as well as a long central strip. six short front flaps, connected together along fold lines.

The advantage obtained with the invention lies in the omnidirectional stiffening of the soft container package in the delicate area of the ends. head of cigarettes, so that? this area remains protected from the deformation actions and stresses that normally occur during the production of the packages, their handling on the market and during consumption. The invention is illustrated in detail below on the basis of the embodiment shown in the attached figures.

In particular:

Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a soft container package partially broken away in the area of the ends; of the cigarettes without filter, Figure 2 shows a partial section through the soft container package according to line II-II according to Figure 1, and

Figure 3 shows a development of a reinforcing insert according to the invention.

In the soft container package 1 shown in Figure 1, articles of stick tobacco, for example in the form of cigarettes 2 with a filter, are enclosed in a wrapper by a single blank 3 in the form of a composite leaf. To protect the delicate cigarette heads 4 in the bottom region of the soft container package 1, respectively to prevent tobacco leakage during the handling of the package, in the soft container package 1? inserted a reinforcing insert 6 of rigid paper, cardboard or the like, which, according to Figure 3,? consisting of a long central strip 7, two side strips 8 and a total of six short front flaps 9, which are folded inside 90 'along the dotted lines and in the folded state, in accordance with Figures 1 and 2, cover and protect the cigarette heads 4 on the front and on the edge and are themselves covered invisibly externally, on the edge, by the composite leaf 3 and, on the front side, by the related side-bottom closing flaps 11.

Claims (3)

Claims 1. Soft container packaging for stick articles of the tobacco processing industry, especially for cigarettes having at least one end. head without filter, consisting of a blank of paper, sheet of synthetic material or similar, characterized by a reinforcement insert (6), which? inserted in the package (1) with a soft container and from the front side, and perimeter, it encloses a block of cigarettes, in the shape of a parallelpiped, in the area of the extremities? head (4) of cigarettes. 2.
