Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] This invention relates to a cigarette storage container that stores cigarettes in their packaging.

[Background of the idea]

Generally, cigarettes are packaged with various designs for the purpose of protecting the product, making it easy to store and carry, and improving the appearance of the product. These cigarette packages come in packs of 10, 20, and 50 cigarettes, but recently, 20-cigarette packs have become mainstream as the number of cigarettes smoked has increased. In addition, although there are hard boxes as a form of packaging, most of the more affordable products come in soft packaging. Therefore, when carrying cigarettes in a pocket or the like, if the package is a soft one, it tends to collapse easily, resulting in the inconvenience of breaking the cigarettes inside or causing tobacco leaves to fly out. For this reason, various types of cigarette storage containers have been sold in the past, but none were available that were inexpensive and easy to take out.

[Purpose of invention]

In view of the above points, the object of this invention is to provide a cigarette storage container that is inexpensive, allows easy removal of cigarettes, and prevents the package itself from being pulled out.

[Structure of the idea]

In order to achieve the above object, this invention provides a container main body having an opening in which a cigarette package can be stored with the unsealed end facing upward, and a cigarette holder that straddles one side of the opening in the container main body. It is configured so that it can be rotated freely.

〔Example〕

Next, this invention will be explained based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

In the figure, 1 is the opening side end 2 of the cigarette package 2.
The main body of the container has an opening 3 that can be stored with the side a facing upward, and the main body 1 of the container can be made of any material as long as it has appropriate hardness, but it should be made of transparent or translucent synthetic resin. is preferred. That is, if transparent or translucent synthetic resin is used, the design applied to the surface of the cigarette package 2 can be utilized as is. In view of recent trends, the container main body 1 is preferably large enough to accommodate a 20-cigarette pack 2 with its unsealed end 2a slightly exposed. Of course, the 20-cigarette pack 2 comes in king size and regular size, and in order to accommodate both,
For example, the container main body 1 is made to match the size of a king size, and a raised bottom member 4 with a height corresponding to the height difference with a normal size cigarette package is attached to the inner bottom of the container body 1, as shown in the third figure, and can be freely removed. It is recommended that you install it in In this case, in order to facilitate removal of the raised bottom member 4, it is convenient to provide a small hole 5a in the bottom surface of the container main body 1 into which the rod-shaped body 5 is inserted.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a cigarette holder rotatably attached via a hinge means 7 so as to straddle one side of the opening 3 of the container main body 1, and the cigarette holder 6 is attached to the opening side end of the 20-cigarette pack 2. Sealing paper 2 from one short side 2a' of part 2a
The opening tape is sized to cover the area up to A''.In other words, the way to open the cigarette package 2 differs slightly depending on the smoker, but in general, the opening tape covers the outermost film wrapping part of the cigarette package 2. After opening the package by pulling the button, the inner packaging part that covers between the short side 2a' of the exposed end 2a and the sealing paper 2a'' is often cut open as shown in the second figure. This is because it is sufficient to prevent the cigarette 22 inside from flying out. It should be noted that the cigarette holder 6 may be satisfied if it is simply formed by bending a material such as synthetic resin into a U-shape, but if a reinforcing plate 61 is provided on the outer upper edge as shown in the first figure, There is also.

FIG. 4 shows an example in which the container main body 1 is provided with an accessory storage section 8 at the bottom of the cigarette package 2. In the illustrated case, the small items include a pipe 81 and a replacement filter 82, but they may also be something like a small lighter. 9 is a lid of the accessory storage section 8.

In the above embodiment, when storing a cigarette package, first, the cigarette holder 6, which straddles one side of the opening 3 of the container body 1, is rotated outward as shown in the first figure, and the cigarette package is After opening the outermost film packaging part of the body 2 and cutting open the exposed inner packaging part from one short side to the sealing paper so that the cigarettes 22 inside can be taken out, the cigarette packaging body 2 is opened. is stored in the container main body 1 so that the cutout part 21 is on the installation side of the cigarette holder 6. Next, by raising the cigarette holder as shown in the second figure, it is possible to prevent the cigarette package 2 itself and the cigarettes 22 inside from popping out. When smoking, the cigarette inside can be easily removed by rotating the cigarette holder 6 outward in the same manner as described above.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, this invention provides a container main body having an opening in which a cigarette package can be stored with the unsealed end facing upward, and a cigarette holder that straddles one side of the opening is rotatably attached to the container main body. Since the cigarette holder is attached to the holder, it is possible to store the cigarette package by simply rotating the cigarette holder outward, and by raising the cigarette holder, it is possible to prevent the cigarette package and the cigarettes inside from flying out. It has the excellent effect of being able to.
