Should be noted that, though small article allocation device 10 comprises rectangular configuration in illustrated embodiment, but small article allocation device 10 can comprise such as other shapes such as circle, domeshape, annulars in other embodiments, can have or not have the clear face that limits.
In illustrated embodiment, small article allocation device 10 comprises opening 50 on positive 42, be used to distribute the small article 36 that holds within it.Opening 50 can be by slidably sheet 52 coverings.The slidably sheet 52 that illustrates is a kind of lid structure.Other enters structure and lid structure, and that yes is available.For example, as mentioned above,, bigger opening can be set if small article allocation device 10 is configured to carry such as flat plate-like articles such as peppermint candy bars.In one embodiment, described bigger opening can be arranged on the end face 38 of small article allocation device 10 with access peppermint candy bar etc.
The small article of waiting to be contained in the main body 32 36 can load by opening 50.In other embodiments, main body 32 can be become by two and half hull shapes, and described two and half shells are combined together to form theme 32.By separating described two and half shells, can carry out access to load small article 36 to storeroom 34.In a kind of embodiment of small article allocation device 10, storeroom 34 is configured to hold at least two ten sugared points.According to the size of various sugar points, it certainly is other number that the sugar that can load is counted.
In one embodiment, small article allocation device 10 can be sold together with just in time 20 the sugar points that are stored in the storeroom, and the cigarette number that comprises usually in the number of sugar point and the conventional cigarette case is complementary.In other embodiments, the small article allocation device can have the sugared point greater or less than 20.
As shown in the figure, small article allocation device 10 comprises attachment structure 54.Attachment structure 54 comprises extension 56 and maintaining part 58.Extension 56 extends perpendicular to the bottom surface 40 of small article allocation device 10.Maintaining part 58 roughly is flat and is roughly parallel to main body 32 extensions of small article allocation device 10.Will discuss as following, parallel maintaining part 58 is configured to small article allocation device 10 is slidably attached to cigarette case 12.As mentioned above, in one embodiment, when using attachment structure 54 that small article allocation device 10 is attached to cigarette case 12, small article allocation device 10 does not stretch out the periphery P of cigarette case 12 basically.
In one embodiment, can to form (for example molded) with the main body 32 of small article allocation device be a member for attachment structure 54 shown here.In other embodiments, attachment structure 54 can form the member that is independent of main body 32, and is connected to main body 32.In one embodiment, the small article allocation device 10 that comprises attachment structure 54 can be made by polymer.Other material also is fine.
In one embodiment, attachment structure 54 can be configured to be used for removedly small article allocation device 10 is attached to cigarette case 12.In this embodiment, small article allocation device 10 can remove and be reused for another cigarette case 12 from cigarette case 12.This embodiment of attachment structure 54 representatives shown here.
In another embodiment, attachment structure 54 can be configured to permanently small article allocation device 10 is attached to cigarette case 12, thereby small article allocation device 10 can be used as disposable product and throws away with cigarette case 12.For example, available two-sided tape is attached to small article allocation device 10 outer surface of cigarette case 12.In this embodiment, small article allocation device 10 can be sold with the two-sided tape that is attached to main body 32, and this two-sided tape comprises that the torn part is to expose the adhesive of this adhesive tape.
Should be noted in the discussion above that 54 of attachment structures shown here have provided a kind of illustrative methods that small article allocation device 10 is attached to different objects.As mentioned above, other method also is fine certainly, for example uses adhesive (for example, two-sided tape, glue etc.), uses ring and hook attachment structure (for example, Velcro
Structure) etc.
The shape of attachment structure 54 shown here becomes like this with size design: small article allocation device 10 can be slidably attached to the top cover 16 of cigarette case 12.Fig. 8 illustrates a kind of exemplary attachment method, it is used for the small article allocation device 10 shown in Fig. 2-6 is attached to conventional cigarette case 12 shown in Figure 7 to form cigarette case assembly 14 shown in Figure 1, and the feature that this cigarette case assembly is had is the example according to the creative aspect of present disclosure principle.
As shown in Figure 8, conventional cigarette case 12 generally includes slit 60, slit 60 first side 24 of the end face 30 of top cover 16 and cigarette case 12 and second side 26 the two one of between.In some cigarette case, the end face 30 of top cover 16 can be glued onto in the two one of first side 24 of cigarette case and second side 26, thereby slit 60 is very narrow or do not exist.In these boxes, must handle top cover 16 and separately form slit 60 from the side of cigarette case with the effect that overcomes glue and with end face 30.As shown in Figure 8, in case slit 60 is opened, attachment structure 54 just can embed in the slit 60 slidably.The width of the maintaining part 58 of attachment structure 54 is preferably enough thick, thereby can set up the friction maintaining part so that small article allocation device 10 is maintained safely with respect to cigarette case 12 in slit 60.
Similarly, conventional cigarette case 12 can comprise the slit 62 between one of the bottom surface 28 of cigarette case 12 and side 24,26.Similar to method shown in Figure 8, if there is glue that bottom surface 28 is remained to a side, the user can open slit 62 so.After slit 62 formed, the user can be slidably embeds the attachment structure 54 of small article allocation device 10 in the slits 62.
As mentioned above, attachment structure 54 shown here, attachment location and/or method that small article allocation device 10 is attached to cigarette case 12 shown here are just according to some examples of many embodiments possible of present disclosure.
Above-mentioned specification, example and data provide complete description to creative aspect of the present invention.Under the situation that does not depart from the scope and spirit aspect creative of the present invention, can obtain many embodiments of the present invention.
