Description
TITLE: CIGARETTE ROLLING PAPER DISPENSER
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates generally to the field of cigarette rolling paper dispensers for dispensing rolling papers for use in the construction of hand built tobacco cigarettes.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
Hand-built cigarettes are generally made by placing a quantity of tobacco on a thin paper sheet and then rolling the sheet to form a cigarette. Over the years, specialized cigarette rolling paper has been developed which makes the task of hand-building tobacco cigarettes easier. These rolling papers are generally provided with a gummed edge, which facilitates cigarette rolling. For the users convenience, cigarette papers are generally provided in small paper envelopes or packages which permit the rolling papers to be individually removed.
While the use of hand formed cigarettes remains popular, hand made cigarettes lack some of the convenient features found in commercially manufactured cigarettes. In particular, commercially manufactured cigarettes are usually provided with filtered tips, which make cigarette smoking a more enjoyable experience. The filter tips prevent tobacco from dislodging from the cigarette and making its way into the users mouth. Furthermore, the filter tip is generally configured to permit the user to grip the cigarette filter in the mouth without crushing the cigarette. Unfortunately, hand rolled cigarettes are generally not provided with reinforced tips, and as a result do not provide as enjoyable a smoking experience as commercially manufactured cigarettes. To mimic the fiznctionality of the filter elements of commercially manufactured cigarettes, some users incorporate a small piece of stiff paper in the for_nation of hand rolled cigarettes. These stiff pieces of paper are generally formed into cylindrical extensions placed on one end of the rolling paper, such that when the cigarette is rolled, the stiff paper forms a reinforced tip mimicking the function of the filter portion of a commercially manufactured cigarette. Unfortunately, users are generally not provided with paper of the appropriate stiffness, water resistance and other features which makes for suitable cigarette tips.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the invention to provide a cigarette rolling paper dispenser for dispensing rolling papers: The dispenser includes an envelope having a first compartment adapted and configured to store a plurality of rolling papers and a second compartment adapted and configured to store a plurality of paper cigarette tips. The second compartment is formed from an elongated sheet of stiff paper having a width and a length, said sheet of paper being divided into a plurality of individual sheets by a plurality of fold lines, each fold line extending perpendicularly across the width of the elongated sheet of paper, each individual sheet being dimensioned and configured to fold together along the fold lines to form a bundle of individual sheets. Each individual sheet is divided into a plurality of tip portions by a plurality of frangible lines, the frangible lines extending between the fold lines, the frangible lines being positioned perpendicular relative to the fold lines.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Referring firstly to Figure 1, a cigarette paper dispenser made in accordance with the present invention consists of an envelope shown generally as item 10 having a first compartment shown generally as item 20 adapted and configured to store and dispense a plurality of cigarette rolling papers 22 and a second compartment shown generally as item 12 adapted and configured to store and dispense a plurality of cigarette tip portions 28. Each cigarette tip portion 28 is adapted and configured to be formable into individual cigarette tips.
Preferably each tip portion 28 consists of a rectangular piece of stiff paper, having a width of approximately 1 cm, and a length of approximately 4 cm.
Second compartment 12 consists of an elongated paper sheet 13 having a first end 16 which is attached to first compartment 20. Elongated sheet 13 has a first portion 11 and a second portion 15. Second portion 15 is divided into individually detachable filter sections 26, 32, 34 and 36. Each of the individually detachable filter sheets are in turn divided into individually detachable cigarette tip portions 28 which are formed by frangible lines 30. Second portion 15 is divided into individual sheets 26, 32, 34 and 36 by folding along frangible lines 38, 40 and 42, respectively.
Filter sheets 26, 32, 34 and 36 are configured such that they can be folded in an accordion-like fashion so that they can be folded on top of first portion 11. Edge portion 44 of first portion 11 is formed between frangible line 46 and fold line 48. Edge portion 4~- is c~afficiently wide to permit sheets 32, 34 and 36 to be folded together in an accordion-like fashion and then folded over sheet 26 to form a bundle of sheets. Sheet 26 is then folded over first portion 11, such that the bundle of sheets are folded onto portion 11 with sheet 36 making contact with portion. Preferably the diameter of portion 44 between lines 48 and 46 is greater than the cumulative total sicknesses of sheets, 26, 32, 34 and 36 as shown in figure 2. When all of the individual sheets are stacked on top of portion 11, portion 11 may then be folded over compartment 20 in order to act as a cover to protect individual filter papers 22. As best seen in figure 3, tab 18 may then be folded over on top of portion 11 to secure the entire envelope.
Frangible lines 30 are at right angles to fold lines 46, 38, 40 and 42, thereby ensuring that a tips 28 can only be removed from the end of portion 15. Hence, in the present specific embodiment, tips 28 are first removed from sheet 36, since it is at the end of portion 15. Tips 28 located on sheets 26, 32 or 34 cannot easily be removed until the tips located on sheet 36 are first removed. This limits the accidental removal of tips as the sheets are folded and unfolded. Also, by arranging frangible lines 30 perpendicular relative to fold lines 38, portion 15 will resist curling.
Frangible lines 30 add a measure of stiffness to sheets 26, 32, 34 and 36, thereby helping to prevent the sheets from curling. It has been discovered that if frangible lines 30 were positioned parallel to fold lines 3 8, 40 and 42, then portion 15 would curl up and bend, making it less attractive and more difficult to fold up. If portion 15 curls up during use, then frangible lines 30 are weakened and the likelihood of accidentally losing tips 28 increases. By placing frangible lines longitudinally along portion 15 and perpendicular to fold lines 46, 38, 40 and 42, portion 15 is strengthened and tip portions 28 are more securely held.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Referring firstly to Figure 1, a cigarette paper dispenser made in accordance with the present invention consists of an envelope shown generally as item 10 having a first compartment shown generally as item 20 adapted and configured to store and dispense a plurality of cigarette rolling papers 22 and a second compartment shown generally as item 12 adapted and configured to store and dispense a plurality of cigarette tip portions 28. Each cigarette tip portion 28 is adapted and configured to be formable into individual cigarette tips.
Preferably each tip portion 28 consists of a rectangular piece of stiff paper, having a width of approximately 1 cm, and a length of approximately 4 cm.
Second compartment 12 consists of an elongated paper sheet 13 having a first end 16 which is attached to first compartment 20. Elongated sheet 13 has a first portion 11 and a second portion 15. Second portion 15 is divided into individually detachable filter sections 26, 32, 34 and 36. Each of the individually detachable filter sheets are in turn divided into individually detachable cigarette tip portions 28 which are formed by frangible lines 30. Second portion 15 is divided into individual sheets 26, 32, 34 and 36 by folding along frangible lines 38, 40 and 42, respectively.
Filter sheets 26, 32, 34 and 36 are configured such that they can be folded in an accordion-like fashion so that they can be folded on top of first portion 11. Edge portion 44 of first portion 11 is formed between frangible line 46 and fold line 48. Edge portion 4~- is c~afficiently wide to permit sheets 32, 34 and 36 to be folded together in an accordion-like fashion and then folded over sheet 26 to form a bundle of sheets. Sheet 26 is then folded over first portion 11, such that the bundle of sheets are folded onto portion 11 with sheet 36 making contact with portion. Preferably the diameter of portion 44 between lines 48 and 46 is greater than the cumulative total sicknesses of sheets, 26, 32, 34 and 36 as shown in figure 2. When all of the individual sheets are stacked on top of portion 11, portion 11 may then be folded over compartment 20 in order to act as a cover to protect individual filter papers 22. As best seen in figure 3, tab 18 may then be folded over on top of portion 11 to secure the entire envelope.
Frangible lines 30 are at right angles to fold lines 46, 38, 40 and 42, thereby ensuring that a tips 28 can only be removed from the end of portion 15. Hence, in the present specific embodiment, tips 28 are first removed from sheet 36, since it is at the end of portion 15. Tips 28 located on sheets 26, 32 or 34 cannot easily be removed until the tips located on sheet 36 are first removed. This limits the accidental removal of tips as the sheets are folded and unfolded. Also, by arranging frangible lines 30 perpendicular relative to fold lines 38, portion 15 will resist curling.
Frangible lines 30 add a measure of stiffness to sheets 26, 32, 34 and 36, thereby helping to prevent the sheets from curling. It has been discovered that if frangible lines 30 were positioned parallel to fold lines 3 8, 40 and 42, then portion 15 would curl up and bend, making it less attractive and more difficult to fold up. If portion 15 curls up during use, then frangible lines 30 are weakened and the likelihood of accidentally losing tips 28 increases. By placing frangible lines longitudinally along portion 15 and perpendicular to fold lines 46, 38, 40 and 42, portion 15 is strengthened and tip portions 28 are more securely held.
Portion 11 acts as a cover protecting sheets 26, 32, 34 and ~6. Since it acts as a cover it can be coated to increase its water resistance. Furthermore, portion 11 can have advertising material or written material printed onto it. Since sheets 26, 32, 34 and 36 are protected by portion 11, those sheets can be free of coatings and other possible contaminants, thereby increasing their appeal for use as cigarette tips. It has been discovered that if tips 28 have coatings or printing, users may be less inclined to use them since they may perceive the coatings or printing as either affecting the taste or purity of the tip. By attaching tips 28 to portion 11, all the printing and coating required to protect and promote the product can be applied to portion 11, leaving tips 28 clean and white.
A specific embodiment of the present invention has been disclosed; however, several variations of the specific embodiment could be envisioned as within the scope of this invention. It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but encompasses any and all embodiments within the scope of the following claims.
