Description

The The invention relates to a container for holding a lighter and a condom. In particular, it concerns the invention a container, which is portable in jacket pockets or small handbags, and that the discreet entrainment a condom allowed.

One very important and widely used means of contraception and To prevent the spread of infectious diseases caused by unprotected Transmitted intercourse can be is the use of condoms.

There the coincidences of life make it unpredictable when each condom needed it is recommended, for safety's sake, one each with to lead. Although in recent years an increasing liberalization - also in terms of Sexual area - in the population has taken place, the views go so far but far apart, what is socially good and decent. It will therefore at least for the present Time of most of it the population still considered embarrassing when taking an item (Key, wallet, identity card) accidentally also a marked by the imprint as such parcel condoms or a condom in a partially transparent package becomes visible or falls out.

There Single condoms are packed in comparatively sensitive shells, they can during joint transport and the inevitable contact with it other objects (for example with a key) easily damaged in a jacket pocket or handbag and thereby be made unusable.

the Desire for discretion in public Handling condoms on the one hand and the need for avoidance of damage before their use, on the other hand, devote a great number of inventions, which are attributable to the known state of the art.

To EP 0 279 893 B1 A lighter with a condom is known to have a compartment for a condom next to a smaller gas or gas tank. This is a disposable lighter that is unusable after opening the hermetically sealed chamber for the condom to receive a new condom, and the lighter can only be used as such until the tank is completely emptied. In addition, damage to the condom can be caused by the broken edges if not removed properly.

For likewise disposable lighters described herein, which have a resealable congestion and -füllöffnung are, are Condoms necessary, on the production side via a sampling lug the protective cover feature. Here, the item becomes unusable when it is about to be completely emptied of the lighter.

at These disposable lighters are distinguished by the size of the integrated one Tanks, the smaller ones being just a lighter with a very limited one Petrol or gas tank are equipped (non-smoking lighters), but for that even take two condoms, and bigger for the recording a condom. However, these also have one, though bigger ones like that but limited Stock of fuel over a commercial one Lighter on.

Of the Disadvantage of this lighter is that it is a disposable lighter with two different functions, its complex usability is lost in the moment in which one of the functions consumes is. The function of the lighter ends with the consumption of the fuel, the storage function for the condom ends with the removal of the condom from the disposable lighter. Since not regularly It can be assumed that both functions of the disposable lighter are consumed at the same time, is in disposal of the disposable lighter in the most common make one of the two use characteristics not complete or not exploited at all.

According to DE-G 88 90 033.9 are also containers known, in addition to a small interchangeable lighter the possibility offer the inclusion of one or more condoms in a separate compartment. Some of these condom chambers are closed by a lid and protect the condom from sight and damage.

Of the Disadvantage of this solution is that conventional Disposable lighters not suitable because of their structural training are in the receptacle for condoms to be used. The lighters used here are with a shortened gas tank equipped with frequent refilling Makes lighter gas necessary. Accordingly, the lighter Elements for refilling provided by gas and flint.

The object of the invention is to provide a hand-held in jacket pockets or small handbags container for the simultaneous inclusion of a commercial disposable lighter and a condom that a discrete Aufnah me or delivery of the condom allows, and can be refilled with consumption of one of the two functions of use with commercially available products.

According to the invention this Task through a container solved with the features of claim 1.

Of the container is with two parallel in longitudinal axis running subjects formed, of which the first compartment of the admission of the disposable lighter and the second compartment serves to accommodate the condom. The container is in the upper, the compartment for the disposable lighter assigned area designed so open, that the disposable lighter positively in the tray against a inner stop so far inserted that the controls the disposable lighter at the top of the container are freely accessible.

Of the container is in the upper, the compartment for closed the condom-assigned area, giving access to this compartment from the bottom of the container via a closing device he follows. The closing device includes the floor and an adjacent part of the side wall of the container. The closing device is to release both the compartment for the disposable lighter and of the subject for the condom around a lateral axis parallel to the longitudinal axis the floor level swiveling.

The Invention is based on an embodiment described in more detail. The accompanying drawing shows in

1 a schematic partially sectioned side view of the container according to the invention with a proper filling;

2 a schematic cross section AA through 1 ,

In 1 is the container 1 shown in which a disposable lighter 2 and a commercially available, long-packed condom 3 are included.

The disposable lighter 2 is in the present embodiment from above into the container 1 in the appropriate compartment 4 inserted. This is the disposable lighter 2 associated upper portion of the container 1 open so designed that the controls 6 of the disposable lighter 2 from the container 1 stand out for unobstructed operation.

The condom 3 gets into the container from below 1 in the appropriate compartment 5 inserted for filling and out of the compartment 5 taken out as needed. To ensure access to the condom 3 is the container 1 in the lower area with a closing device 7 provided by means of the ground 8th and part of the sidewall 9 of the container 1 is swung out of the ground level. In the in 1 shown position of the closing device 7 it is possible the lower, protruding end of the condom 3 Easy to grasp with your fingers and out of the tray 5 pull it out.

To simplify this detection, the subject is 5 longer than the subject 4 for receiving the disposable lighter 2 ,

Integrated component of the container 1 is the pivot bearing located in the lower area 10 in which one with the ground 8th firmly connected pivot pin 11 is stored to the swinging out of the closing device 7 around the pivot axis 12 to enable.

Between the closing device 7 belonging side wall 9 and with the container closed 1 the side wall 9 adjoining side wall area 13 an unillustrated coupling element is provided which prevents unintentional opening of the container 1 prevented.

The pivot bearing 10 is also a stop for the positioning of the disposable lighter 2 formed, which ensures that the controls 6 of the disposable lighter 2 from the top of the container 1 stand out and the disposable lighter 2 in the tray 4 slides in.

When necessary replacement of the disposable lighter 2 becomes the closing device 7 opened and the disposable lighter 2 is from the bottom of the tray 4 pushed up.

The subjects 4 and 5 inside the container 1 are formed by a partition. The divider presents itself as one of the closed top of the container 1 downwardly directed tongue 14 The course of the tongue 14 is designed so that it moves from the vertical axis towards the chamber 4 differs. This will make the tongue 14 a Federfunkti on transferred when contacting the inserted disposable lighter 2 in the container 1 takes effect.

The tongue 14 whose length is approximately the length of the disposable lighter 2 corresponds, presses against the disposable lighter 2 and prevents it from accidentally leaving the container 1 from slipping out.

The invention has the advantage over the known prior art that a container is provided which is suitable and designed to two different consumable products for daily use, in the present case a disposable lighter and a condom. Depending on the consumption of one or the other product, it can be replaced or refilled.

at a high-quality design of the container, or When using precious materials, the container conveys next to his custom features the intended impression of a jewelry item.
