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).

First claim

What is claimed is:

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 ).
