Description

The present invention relates to a compact modular transport bag for tobacco and supplies for rolling your own cigarettes.

problem

The invention is based on the problem that many smokers no longer buy ready-rolled cigarettes, but rather roll their own cigarettes. On the one hand, hand-rolled cigarettes are much cheaper, have a more intense taste and, through rolling, convey a very unique lifestyle. This feeling is not created by finished cigarettes. To roll your own cigarettes, smokers need different and multiple components. If ready-made cigarettes only require a pack of cigarettes and a lighter, rolling your own requires, among other things, tobacco, cigarette paper, a filter, a tobacco mill (grinder) and a lighter. These supplies must all be carried together, but can only be purchased individually and are therefore packaged separately. If you forget a component, you will not be able to roll a cigarette. The remaining supplies are then useless and cannot be used individually.

State of the art

Various camouflage sports containers for tobacco and consumer goods are known from the prior art. In addition to simple bags with a closure tab for loose tobacco, portable tobacco bags are also known from the prior art, which are provided with a removal container for cigarette paper on the front outside of the bag. Such a bag is used, for example, in the utility model DE 90 10 917.1 U1 described. The closure tab protects the container for the cigarette paper so that it is neither crumpled nor otherwise damaged or dirty. A disadvantage here, however, is that the packet of cigarette paper is stuck to the tobacco pouch with an adhesive strip and can therefore only serve as a disposable product. Once the cigarette papers are used up, they cannot be replaced. This is due to the fact that simple adhesive strips lose their adhesiveness when they are firmly attached to an object. The tobacco pouch is therefore not reusable to its full extent. In addition, other utensils that you need when rolling your own cigarettes must be carried separately or stored in the tobacco compartment. However, the latter has the disadvantage that the other products are, on the one hand, contaminated with tobacco crumbs due to transport in the same compartment and, on the other hand, can be damaged and unusable due to the basic moisture of the tobacco.

Another disadvantage is that in the transport function, the closure flap is attached to the front outside of the bag with an adhesive tape. Here, too, the adhesive strips quickly lose their adhesive effect, so that the bag can easily be opened unintentionally and the tobacco is therefore not safely stowed away. In addition, dust, dirt and other impurities remain on the adhesive tape when you open the bag or transport it in your trouser pocket, for example. If the adhesive tape becomes dirty, the adhesive effect is impaired, so that after a short period of time the bag can no longer be closed securely. The bags are therefore not suitable for repeated or long use.

Cardboard transport bags are also known from the prior art, which integrate the consumables cigarette paper and filter paper into the transport bag and at the same time have a mixing pad and a grinder. The filter papers and cigarette paper are glued directly to the back of the mixing pad and correspond exactly to the height and width of the transport bag. Here the smoker has all the utensils he needs to roll cigarettes combined in one device. The transport bag can be closed using a magnet on the closure flap and a corresponding magnet inside the filter paper bag. The magnets ensure that the locking mechanism is not impaired by dirt. The bag therefore does not lose its closure function, even after being opened several times. However, the disadvantage here is that the cigarette papers and filter papers are glued directly to the front of the mixing pad. Once these are used up, there is no longer any use for the transport bag. Rather, it is disposed of and replaced with a new product. Matches or finished filters also have to be transported separately and have no space in the bag as it is only tailored to the essential items that are already integrated. Another disadvantage is that the dimensions of the bag correspond exactly to the dimensions of the filter papers and cigarette papers contained in it. If you want to vary the size of the cigarette paper, you need extra paper, which cannot be carried in the bag. In addition, the closure system is not optimal. Thanks to the magnets on the closure flap and inside the filter paper bag, the filter and cigarette paper is immediately exposed when the bag is opened. This means that the paper strips are exposed to moisture and dirt.

Tobacco transport bags also known from the prior art are those as in US 8,584,854 B2 described. These have the advantage of a magnetic closure. Due to this property, such pouches are particularly suitable for repeated use, as the magnets enable the tobacco pouch to be opened and closed several times. However, the disadvantage here is that the filter paper and the cigarette paper are firmly attached to the bag and therefore cannot be replaced when it is used up. This means that it is also a non-modular, disposable product.

Task

Taking into account the aforementioned disadvantages of known tobacco bags, the present invention is based on the object of providing a modular transport bag for tobacco and consumer goods, which can be used as a reusable product and in which all the consumer items required for rolling your own cigarettes are carried and can be replaced as often as you like.

Solution

This task is solved by the features highlighted in the characterizing part of claim 1.

Description

The core idea of the invention is to use various magnetic surfaces inside and outside the bag to create a modular tobacco bag system in which any required items can be attached and exchanged, so that the bag can be individually adapted to each smoker's needs as an environmentally friendly reusable product .

The bag according to the invention contains a mixing pad that is provided with a grinder. The mixing pad can be opened and closed using the side wings on both sides, so that the bag can be folded up for transport. A magnet of identical size is attached to the back of the mixing pad, which also represents the back of the bag according to the invention when closed. This allows compatible boxes of different widths to be attached to the back for additional storage space for necessities. The boxes are also equipped with magnets and each measure a maximum of the length of a matchbox.

Furthermore, on the front of the mixing pad there are at least four magnets running parallel in two rows to which cigarette and filter paper can be attached. The height of the front is therefore at least the height of two I<ingsize cigarette paper packs. To ensure that the different sizes are captured by the magnets, the magnets are placed at a distance of no more than the length of a standard queen-size pack. The intermediate piece adjacent to the front of the mixing pad, which connects it to the front flap, measures at least the height of an I<ingsize cigarette or filter paper pack. The adjoining front flap, which protects the filter and cigarette paper when closed, has a magnet on the bottom. The bag according to the invention can be closed using a corresponding magnet on the upper inside of the closure flap.

The invention offers numerous advantages over previously known tobacco pouches.

The at least four magnets on the front of the mixing pad are a particular advantage, as cigarette paper and cigarette filter paper packs can be attached in a detachable but stable manner. Thanks to the magnetic holding system, the papers can be easily removed from their own packaging without any problems and therefore cannot fall down. This often happens when you hold the tobacco pack and the cigarette paper pack in one hand while rolling cigarettes. In this case you have both in one bag and can remove the individual utensils from the bag one after the other. It is also advantageous that the filter and cigarette paper packs can be replaced at any time thanks to the magnets. As soon as a pack is empty, it can be removed and replaced independently of the other pack. This also results in a material advantage, as you don't have to replace the bag every time you use up the individual components, but you can refill the basic component at any time. This circumstance reduces material costs and of course conserves resources.

Due to the exact dimensions of the base component, both king and queen size products fit on the front of the mixing pad. The individual magnets are arranged so that both shorter packs and longer packs can be attached to the horizontal magnets. The size of the bag is used optimally, so that a large bag is not required, but all necessities can be stored in a space-saving manner. The bag can For example, it can be carried in the back pocket of your pants.

Another advantage is the possibility created by a large magnet to attach any number of separate packs to the back of the bag. Due to the dimensions of 112 mm wide and 55 mm long, this corresponds to the size of three standard packs of matches. The various modular storage containers mean that supplies can be individually attached to the back of the bag. For example, matches can be transported in one box and finished filters in another. With this modular system, every smoker can put together the individual components they need according to their needs and preferences, but can also exchange them at any time and only needs one bag for all the utensils. This can then be carried along compactly.

Another advantage according to the invention is the magnetic closure, which connects the closure tab to the front flap. This allows for secure closure and prevents the bag from unintentionally opening.

Another advantage is the front flap, which additionally protects the tobacco and filter paper from dirt or damage. When you open the bag, the utensils attached to the front of the mixing pad are not exposed. Rather, the front flap must first be folded down to expose the utensils. This provides optimal protection for individual consumer items.

In addition, attaching the grinder directly to the mixing surface is another advantage. The grinder makes it possible, for example, to finely chop roller tobacco in order to obtain a homogeneous consistency and thus improve combustion. Due to the combination of the mixing base and the grinder, the ground tobacco falls directly into the mixing base and does not require any laborious decanting, as is the case with a separate grinder. With separate grinders, it often happens that tobacco is spilled next to it during the transfer process and is therefore unusable. In this case, the tobacco pieces fall directly into the mixing base without any loss and can be used. Grinding directly in the work surface offers optimal utilization of the tobacco.

Examples of embodiments

The invention will be explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment and with the help of figures.

• 1 zeigt die erfindungsgemäße Tasche in geschlossenem Zustand frontal von oben. Das Täschchen ist vorzugsweise aus einem stabilen Material, wie beispielsweise beschichtetem Papier oder Pappe gefertigt. Dadurch ist die Tasche als Mehrwegprodukt über einen langen Zeitraum einsetzbar.
• 2 zeigt die Grundkomponente in geöffnetem Zustand in Seitenansicht. Mittig an der Oberkante der Innenseite der Verschlusslasche befindet sich der Verschlussmagnet (9) zum einfachen und mehrmaligen Verschließen des Beutelkörpers (1). I<orrespondierend dazu, findet sich der gegengepolte Verschlussmagnet (8) ebenfalls mittig an der Unterseite der Vorderklappe.

The exemplary embodiments show the modular smoking supplies bag (1) according to the invention, consisting of a mixing base (2), in which a grinder (3) is attached on the inside and on the front (4) at least four magnets (5), parallel in two Rows are attached. The front of the mixing pad is connected to the front flap (7) using an intermediate piece (6). The intermediate piece is at least as deep as the cigarette paper boxes to be attached to the magnets. The construction according to the invention can be closed by a magnet (08) on the front flap and on the closure tab (10). The magnet (12), which is attached over the entire surface of the back (11), to which magnetic boxes of different sizes can be attached, provides additional storage space.

• 1 shows the bag according to the invention in the closed state from the front from above. The bag is preferably made of a sturdy material, such as coated paper or cardboard. This means that the bag can be used as a reusable product over a long period of time.
• 2 shows the basic component in an open state in a side view. The closure magnet (9) is located in the middle of the upper edge of the inside of the closure flap for easy and repeated closure of the bag body (1). Correspondingly, the oppositely polarized locking magnet (8) is also located in the middle of the underside of the front flap.

There are side wings (13) on both sides of the mixing pad, which allow the mixing pad to be closed and opened and to adapt to this size depending on the contents. There is also a grinder glued to the inside of the mixing pad, which allows tobacco or other smoking material to be finely chopped directly in the mixing pad.

The front flap protects the front of the mixing mat and the rotating utensils that can be attached to it using magnets. Four magnets are preferably attached to the front of the mixing pad. There are two magnets on an imaginary horizontal line. The other two magnets are parallel underneath. The distance between the individual magnets is chosen so that filter paper and cigarette paper in king and queen sizes fit precisely to the width of the front of the mixing pad. The dimensions of the front of the mixing mat are also exactly adjusted to the height of two king and/or queen size packs, but at least 5.5 cm long. 3 shows the basic component in a perspective side view.

4 shows the opened bag body with a king and queen size pack of rolling papers attached to the magnets. The intermediate piece is just as deep as the filter paper and cigarette paper boxes, so that when closed, the front flap rests precisely on the filled front of the mixing pad.

Furthermore, under the material of the back of the bag body there is a magnet of identical size to the back. this shows 5 . According to the invention, the back is measured in such a way that overall it is the size of three matchboxes. Magnetic boxes of different sizes can also be attached to the back in order to transport other necessities that do not fit in the bag according to the invention. The magnet allows individual boxes to be attached and removed as desired and can therefore be individually adapted to the user's consumption and preferences. Different sizes and boxes can be attached. This means that three matchbox-sized ( 6 ), a large rectangular box ( 7 ), or a matchbox and an almost square box ( 8th ) on the back.

9 shows the bag according to the invention in the closed state with two accessory boxes on the back.
