Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fire extinguisher for use with cigarettes to facilitate extinguishing the fire.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art To extinguish a cigarette, the tip is usually pressed against an ashtray or the ashtray is filled with water and the cigarette butt is dropped into the water. In the former case, there is a risk of staining your fingers or scattering the ash from the ashtray.
Also, dirt gets stuck in the ashtray, making cleaning time-consuming. The latter requires a lot of effort to maintain as it requires water, and it is also troublesome to dispose of the cigarette butts because of the water content.

Furthermore, if cigarette butts are left unattended, there is a risk that they may smolder for a long time or ignite other objects, causing a fire.

0004

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Therefore, the present invention makes it possible to extinguish a fire easily and reliably without getting your hands dirty, makes cleanup such as cleaning the ashtray easy, and leaves cigarette butts unattended. The purpose is to realize a fire extinguisher that can extinguish a fire even when the fire is exposed.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems and Effects] The present invention is a cigarette extinguishing shell comprising a non-combustible sheet body formed into a cylindrical body and movably fitted around the outer periphery of a cigarette.

[0006] This fire extinguisher is positioned between the mouthpiece and the tip when smoking. At this time, you can smoke as usual. When extinguishing a fire, it is moved to cover the lit end of the cigarette. This will draw heat away from the fire,
and extinguish the cigarette by reducing the oxygen supply.

The sheet used here is made of aluminum foil, nonflammable paper, or ordinary paper treated with boric acid or the like to make it noncombustible. Experiments have shown that even ordinary paper can withstand use if it is as thick as high-quality paper, but in order to ensure fire extinguishing, it must be nonflammable.

[0008] It is desirable that the fire extinguisher be in contact with the cigarette with appropriate friction to prevent it from moving accidentally. For this reason, it is necessary to set the diameter accurately, but this setting becomes easier if the diameter is embossed. In addition, the same effect can be obtained by using a stretchable material for the sheet body.

[0009] Furthermore, when a portion of a pack of cigarettes is consumed and each cigarette begins to move within the pack, the fire extinguisher may move and cover the mouthpiece when carried, making it impossible to continue smoking. However, this can be prevented by providing a step on the inner surface of the cylindrical body that engages with the end of the cigarette filter, or by forming a recess extending from the outer surface into the cigarette after the cylindrical body is fitted. .

[Embodiments] Hereinafter, embodiments illustrating the present invention will be described in detail.

A fire extinguisher 10 according to a first embodiment is shown in FIGS. 1 to 3. This fire extinguisher 1 is made of aluminum foil formed into a cylindrical body,
It is movably fitted around the cigarette 1.

This fire extinguisher is used and functions as follows. When smoking, as shown in FIG.
Place it near the mouthpiece. In this state, you can smoke normally.

When finishing smoking and extinguishing the fire, the fire extinguisher 10 is moved to cover the fire 2 at the tip, as shown in FIG. In this case, the heat capacity of the fire extinguisher 10 lowers the temperature of the part where the fire started, and the supply of oxygen from the surroundings is cut off, resulting in a lack of oxygen, and the fire is extinguished. Immediately before extinguishing, the tip is steamed and charred, becoming black and hard, which is different from normal ash. Therefore, ash does not fall from the extinguished tip, and staining the ashtray etc. is prevented. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, when the tip of the fire extinguisher 10 is bent, the tip of the cigarette is completely covered, so extinguishing is more complete and there is no need to worry about contaminating other items. Therefore, when there is no ashtray, it can be stored in a pocket or the like in this state.

Furthermore, even if a fire is left unattended, if it continues to burn and enters the fire extinguisher 10, it will be in a state similar to that shown in FIG. 2 and will be extinguished.

FIG. 4 shows a fire extinguisher 20 according to a second embodiment. This fire extinguisher 20 is made by embossing a sheet made of aluminum foil and paper and forming it into a cylinder.
The holder is movably fitted around the cigarette 1.

In this fire extinguishing tool 20, many small protrusions 21, . , it is possible to prevent the friction force from becoming too small, to obtain an appropriate frictional force, and to prevent inadvertent movement.

FIG. 5 shows a fire extinguisher 30 according to a third embodiment. This fire extinguishing tool 30 is made by forming a long cylinder (not shown) out of non-flammable paper, folding one end inward to form a cylinder with about half doubled, and moving this around the cigarette 1. It is possible to fit them together. The folded end of the inner surface of the cylinder becomes a stepped portion 31. The cigarette 1 has a filter 3 whose end 4 forms a step whose diameter changes slightly on the filter side. Note that the shapes of this cigarette and filter are common.

In this fire extinguisher 30, once the stepped portion 31 moves toward the mouthpiece and engages with the end 3 of the filter, it no longer moves toward the mouthpiece. Therefore, even if each cigarette moves within the box due to vibration or the like and the fire extinguisher moves, it is prevented from moving to the mouthpiece side and covering the mouthpiece, making it impossible to smoke.

FIG. 6 shows a fire extinguisher 40 according to a fourth embodiment. The fire extinguisher 40 is made of aluminum foil and is movably fitted around the cigarette 1. Furthermore, this fire extinguisher 40 is located near the mouthpiece of the cigarette 1, and one or several recesses 41 are formed extending from the outer surface into the inside of the cigarette.

[0020] This fire extinguisher 40 has a recess 41 that allows the cigarette 1 to be removed.
, it is prevented from accidentally moving and covering the mouthpiece as described above. Once the fire extinguisher 40 is moved with a finger, the recess 41 no longer engages with the fire extinguisher 40, so it can be used in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

[0021]

[Effects of the Invention] As mentioned above, the fire extinguisher of the present invention extinguishes the fire by moving it along the cigarette and covering the fire at the tip, so it is possible to extinguish the fire easily and reliably without getting your hands dirty. can. Moreover, ash does not stick to the ashtray, and there is no need to prepare water for the ashtray, so cleaning the ashtray,
Management can also be simplified. Furthermore, even if the cigarette butt is left unattended, the fire will be extinguished naturally once it reaches the inside of the fire extinguisher, so it will not smolder for a long time, improving safety against fire. Furthermore, since this fire extinguisher does not burn, it is possible to freely apply designs such as printing on the surface of the fire extinguisher, which eliminates the disadvantages of conventional cigarettes where printing is limited and designs become uniform because the surface of cigarettes is combustible. It can also be resolved.
