Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cigarette pack with an electric glow ignition device for igniting the cigarettes when moving out of the pack, which has an electric battery and for each cigarette two contacts connected to the + pole or -pole of the battery within the pack, one contact extends from the closed end of the pack towards the end of the pack for moving the cigarettes out.
  • Such cigarette packs are known (US-A-4342902).
  • the two contacts of the electric glow ignition device, each associated with a cigarette, on the rear wall of the housing of the cigarette pack extend parallel to one another from the closed pack or casing end to the pack or casing end for moving the cigarettes out of the pack or the casing and for each cigarette, a glow plug is provided, which is movably guided in the housing perpendicular to the bottom, pressed against the housing base by a helical compression spring and with an actuating button protruding laterally against the action of a helical compression spring, through a right-angled slot in the front wall of the housing , an electrical heating coil on the side facing away from the housing base and two contact pins, each electrically conductively connected to one or the other end of the electrical heating coil, and axially movable and loaded by a leaf spring out of the glow plug n is attached to the associated pair of contacts on the rear wall of the housing.
  • the actuating button of the associated glow plug block is laterally displaced against the action of a spring load in the glow plug block, so that it is aligned with the leg of the associated right-angled slot in the front wall of the casing, which is perpendicular to the bottom of the casing, after which the actuation button is displaced in this leg so that the glow plug block moves away from the housing base against the action of its spring loading and pushes the cigarette out of the housing, which end rests on the electrical heating coil of the glow plug block with the end adjacent to the housing base.
  • cigarette packs with an electric glow ignition device for the cigarettes contained in the pack having an electric battery and two electrically conductive contacts, each of which is connected to the + pole or to the -pole of the battery, and in a separate one Compartment of the respective cigarette pack at the closed pack end, which is opposite the pack end for pulling the cigarettes out of the pack, is accommodated in such a way that the contacts extend in a plane parallel to a narrow pack side behind a circular opening in this narrow pack side, and the cigarettes in each case are provided at one end with a glow part which can be brought into contact with the contacts and can be heated to a temperature sufficient to ignite the respective cigarette by the current then supplied by the battery of the glow ignition device.
  • the cigarettes contained in the pack are lit by pulling them out of the cigarette pack and then bringing the end provided with the glow part into contact with the contacts of the glow ignition device through the opening of the narrow side of the pack.
  • the glow part consists of a front layer of carbon fibers with low electrical resistance, which is followed by a layer of tobacco treated with potassium nitrate.
  • the cigarettes are not lit while they are being pulled out of the pack. Rather, a separate process is required to light the cigarette (US-A-4310007).
  • the invention has for its object to provide a cigarette pack of the type specified, which is characterized in particular by a relatively simple structure with relatively few components and thus easier and cheaper to manufacture with reliable operation of the glow plug device, which is particularly important for mass products.
  • the invention conveys the advantage that to ignite the cigarettes contained in the pack, they do not have to be reinserted into a separate glow ignition device after being pulled out of the pack, and that no gases are produced when igniting, which can impair the taste, which is generally the case is the case with the known cigarette packs with a friction ignition device.
  • the cigarette pack A contains one row according to FIGS. 1 to 6 or two rows of cigarettes B according to FIG. 7.
  • a glow ignition device with an electric battery C and two electrically conductive contacts D and E are provided, which are each connected to the + pole or to the -pole of the battery C.
  • the cigarettes B each interact with a glow part F with the glow ignition device, which is provided at one end of each cigarette B and when the respective cigarette B is pulled out of the pack A by the current then supplied by the battery C. a temperature sufficient to ignite the cigarette B is heated.
  • the cigarette pack A has a lower, closed end A 'and an upper end A "for pulling the cigarettes B out of the pack A.
  • the housing 1 of the cigarette pack A can be opened at the pack end A" and is for this purpose, for example, with a hinged lid 2 provided.
  • the cigarettes B are arranged in the pack A in such a way that the ends each provided with a glow part F are located at the closed end of the pack A '.
  • the battery C is designed as a flat battery, which is arranged on the bottom 3 of the housing 1.
  • the one contact D extends within the housing 1 away from the battery C towards the cover 2 and is formed by a foil 4 made of metal, which covers the adjacent broad side of the housing 1 on the inside.
  • the film 4 is covered with respect to the glow parts F of the cigarettes B located in the housing 1 by an insulating film 5 which extends in the vicinity of the bottom 3 between the two narrow sides of the housing 1.
  • the glow parts F of the cigarettes B and the other contact E can be designed in different ways.
  • the glow parts F are each designed as an annular coating 6 of the associated cigarette B, which contains a metal and / or graphite powder and glows under current flow and burns if necessary.
  • the other contact E is similar to the first contact D and extends within the housing 1 on the side opposite the first contact D away from the battery C towards the cover 2 of the housing 1.
  • the other contact E is also formed by a foil 7 made of metal, which covers the adjacent broad side of the housing 1 on the inside.
  • a cigarette B When a cigarette B is pulled out of the cigarette pack A according to FIG. 1, it slides with its ring-shaped coating 6 along the foil 7 made of metal. After pulling out the respective cigarette B by a predetermined distance corresponding to the height of the insulating film 5, the coating 6 also comes into contact with the metal film 4 in order to slide along it. The circuit of the battery C is then closed, so that the annular coating 6 is heated and the cigarette B is lit. It can be used immediately after leaving the cigarette packet A.
  • the glow parts F are each formed as a thin ring 8 made of metal, which surrounds the respective cigarette B.
  • the other contact E of the glow ignition device for the glow parts F of the cigarettes B is formed by a plurality of springs 9 made of metal, which are each assigned to a cigarette B and at both ends with the pole of the battery C or the ring 8 of the associated cigarette B. are electrically connected.
  • a suitable spring wire can be used to produce the electrically conductive springs 9.
  • the embodiment according to FIGS. 3 and 4 differs essentially only from that according to FIG. 2 in that the glow parts F are each formed as a thin, U-shaped clip 10 made of metal, which is placed axially on the associated cigarette B, so that it extends substantially diametrically over the adjacent end face, and which is electrically conductively connected to the adjacent end of the associated spring 9 made of metal.
  • the embodiment according to FIG. 5 differs essentially only from that according to FIG. 2 in that the glow parts F are each designed as a wire coil 11 which surrounds the associated cigarette B.
  • the diameter of the wire helix 11 increases away from the associated spring 9.
  • the helical wire 11 ' is made of metal and each wire helix 11 is formed in one piece with the associated spring 9 made of metal, so that the latter thus represents a section of the helical wire 11'.
  • the coating 6 of the cigarette B provided in the embodiment according to FIG. 1 is also selected such that no glowing solid particles can fall off after the tobacco content of the respective cigarette B has been ignited, for example by removing the respective coating 6 after the tobacco content of the respective cigarette has been ignited B burns.
  • the two foils 4 and 7 made of metal which form the two contacts D and E of the glow ignition device for the glow parts F of the cigarettes B in the embodiment according to FIG. 1, are each corrugated.
  • This wave-shaped design improves the electrical contact with the glow parts F compared to a point contact between the contacts D and E on the one hand and the glow parts F on the other hand and furthermore ensures that each individual cigarette B is reliably fixed in the pack A.
  • the foil 4 made of metal is advantageously corrugated as shown in FIG.
  • cigarette packs A with only one row of cigarettes B are shown, an embodiment with, for example, two rows of cigarettes B is also possible in each case.
  • the foil 4 made of metal is then expediently arranged between the two rows of cigarettes B, and this middle foil 4 is then covered on both sides by an insulating foil 5.
  • further insulating foils can be arranged transversely to the insulating foil or foils 5 in order to separate the glow parts F of the cigarettes B in the cigarette pack A and thereby the security against unwanted lighting of adjacent cigarettes B when a cigarette B is pulled out of the cigarette pack A. to increase.
  • the cigarette pack A can also be designed as a permanent pack, which can be refilled with cigarettes B.
  • a refill with the cigarettes B each provided with a glow part F and the contacts D and E of the glow ignition device can be inserted into the permanent pack, which are automatically connected to the battery C in the permanent pack.
  • the pack A can not only be used in connection with cigarettes B, but can also be used, for example, for cigarillos, which are each provided with a glow part F at one end. It can also be thought of to arrange the battery C differently, for example next to a narrow packaging side.
