Description

1. Title of the invention Ti-DE

[0001] Resealable cigarette paper and filter packaging with integrated, self-opening and self-closing rolling aid and windproof flap. AB_DE

[0002] Resealable cigarette paper and filter packaging with integrated, internal rolling aid that unfolds automatically when the packaging is opened and folds back together automatically when closed.

[0003] The packaging consists of a single piece of die-cut cardboard material with defined folding and gluing positions.

[0004] The turning aid is an integral part of the folding system and forms a V-shaped storage surface when open.

[0005] The front features an inwardly bendable and malleable windproof flap to prevent tobacco or herbs from falling out.

[0006] Compartments for filter tips can be arranged on both sides of the rotating aid.

[0007] The design allows for a space-saving, stable and sustainable combination of cigarette paper packaging and rolling aid in one product. 2. Technical field

[0008] The invention relates to packaging for smoking accessories, in particular for cigarette papers and long papers (king-size cigarette papers), which additionally includes an integrated rolling aid.

[0009] The utility model relates to a combined packaging unit in which cigarette paper and / or filter tips and an internal, self-opening and closing rolling aid are housed within a single folding unit. 3. State of the art

[0010] Common packaging for cigarette papers usually consists of simple cardboard sleeves containing papers and sometimes filter tips.

[0011] Some well-known products feature external storage aids or additional mechanical functions. However, these require additional components or consist of several separate pieces of material. Furthermore, turning process aids are known from the state of the art, which are located on the outside of the packaging, or where the packaging needs to be rotated 180 degrees for use, to obtain a suitable storage area.

[0012] Other known systems have an additional surface attached to the side, which significantly lengthens the packaging, makes it unwieldy and leads to a larger, cruder design.

[0013] Such solutions are cumbersome to use; space-consuming and require additional material or production steps.

[0014] In contrast, the rotation aid of the present invention is located entirely inside the packaging.

[0015] It unfolds automatically when the packaging is opened, giving the user direct access to cigarette paper, filter tips and the rolling surface. without twisting, expanding, or resealing the packaging.

[0016] This enables a compact, user-friendly and stable application with minimal material requirements. 4. Object of the invention

[0017] The object of the invention is to create a compact, resealable and multifunctional packaging unit, which allows the user to store and use cigarette papers and filter tips, as well as an integrated rolling aid, in one product.

[0018] The turning aid should be automatically visible and ready for use when the package is opened and fold itself up automatically when the package is closed, without the need for additional mechanisms.

[0019] Additionally, a flap that can be extended on both sides to shield against wind should be attached to the front end of the turning aid in order to prevent tobacco or herbs from falling out of the tray. 5. Solution to the task

[0020] The task is solved by a packaging unit made from a single piece of cardboard or recycled paper. where an internal turning aid is created by predefined folding lines, adhesive surfaces and reinforcement areas.

[0021] This turning aid is an integral part of the packaging and unfolds automatically when the lid is opened due to the folding geometry.

[0022] When the package is closed, it automatically folds flat again. which allows the unit to remain resealable.

[0023] At the front end of the turning aid there is an inwardly bendable and malleable wind guard flap that forms a wind-protected area and prevents material from falling out.

[0024] Depending on the version, the packaging may contain 66 cigarette papers / long papers and 66 filter tips, or other quantities.

[0025] The design allows for complete manufacturing from a single piece of material, suitable for standard packaging machines. 6. Example of implementation

[0026] In a preferred design, the packaging consists of a die-cut cardboard blank. When folded along the marked lines, the following is created: • an upper compartment for cigarette papers, • a central area with internal turning aid, • Laterally arranged compartments in which filter tips are housed on both sides of the rotation aid, • as well as a front windproof flap that can be bent inwards.

[0027] When the packaging is opened, the turning aid automatically unfolds into its V-shaped storage position, When closing, it folds itself back into place thanks to the folding mechanism.

[0028] The entire structure remains stable and can be opened and closed multiple times without losing its function. 7. Advantages of the invention • Internal turning aid: No separate or loose trays required; • Self-opening / self-closing: Mechanism is achieved solely through folding geometry; • Windproof flap: Protects against falling out and wind; • Space-saving: Papers, tips and rolling aid in one unit; • Sustainable: 100% cardboard, fully recyclable; • Cost-efficient: Suitable for standard packaging machines; • User-friendly: Ready to use immediately after opening. 8. Brief description of the drawings • Fig. shows the perspective (3D) view of the packaging in the open state with the internal rotation aid. • Fig. shows the flat, unglued die-cut packaging blank with marked folding and gluing positions as well as dashed lines to show the creases in the unassembled raw state. • Fig. shows the side view of the packaging in the open and closed state, showing the position and function of the turning aid. 12.
