Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cigarette dispenser.
  • the dispenser according to the invention is formed by a parallelliped-shaped housing with longitudinal and transverse walls comprising :
  • said movable plate is provided with a button projecting out of said housing of the dispenser, which button protrudes through a longitudinal slot in one of the walls of the housing.
  • said resistance wire has its two ends clamped between interlocking male and female elements of a current-transferring component between a battery and the resistance wire referred to.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of the dispenser housing according to the invention in an initial embodiment.
  • Figure 2 is a top view of the dispenser according to the invention.
  • Figure 3 is a longitudinal cross-section along the line III-III from figure 2.
  • Figure 4 is a longitudinal cross-section along the line IV-IV from figure 2.
  • Figure 5 is a transverse cross-section along the line V-V from figure 2.
  • Figure 6 is a side view of the dispenser according to the invention.
  • Figure 7 is a perspective view of the dispenser housing according to the invention in another embodiment.
  • Figure 8 shows one part of the dispenser according to the invention on a much enlarged scale.
  • the dispenser illustrated by the various figures consists of a parallelliped-shaped housing 1 of which two longitudinal walls 2 and 3 and two transverse walls 4 and 5 are clearly visible in Figure 3.
  • the housing Internally the housing is divided into two chambers.
  • the first chamber 6 is intended to accommodate the cigarettes 7.
  • the second chamber 8 are fitted one but preferably two batteries 9.
  • the two chambers 6 and 8 are separated by an internal wall 10.
  • the internal wall 10 need not stretch over the whole width of the housing.
  • electrical contact means for example in the form of a small printed-circuit board.
  • These contact means form part of an electrical circuit in which is arranged a resistance wire for lighting a cigarette.
  • On a movable plate 11 are arranged similar electrical contact means.
  • the resistance wire 12 of an electrical resistance is fitted on the movable plate 11 together with at least one, but preferably with two pins 13 which are situated in direct proximity to the resistance wire 12 ( Figures 2, 3 and 6).
  • Pushing the movable plate 11 along the internal wall 10 of the dispenser is done by the longitudinal positioning, along the outside, of a push-button 14 which is connected by means of a small block 15 to the movable plate 11.
  • the block 15, and therefore also the push-button 14, are moved against the action of a tension spring 16 which is fixed between said block 15 and the transverse wall 3 of the housing ( Figures 2, 5 and 6).
  • the movable pushbutton 14 is conducted in its longitudinal movement along the longitudinal wall 2 in a slot 17 to which the push-button 14 with the block 15 is connected by means of a pin 18.
  • This pin 18 moves in the longitudinal slot 17 arranged in the longitudinal wall 2 of the housing. This longitudinal slot 17 is visible in Figure 2.
  • a cigarette 7 slightly projects out of the housing 1.
  • the cigarette meanwhile, during the movement outwards, has been in the immediate proximity of the resistance wire 12 and can be regarded as lighted as soon as the user has drawn on the cigarette for the first time via the filter section which projects from the housing.
  • the push-button 14 is at the end of its travel as illustrated in Figure 6 and the tension spring 16 is completely tightened.
  • the cigarettes 7 are ejected out of the housing through an opening 19 provided in the transverse wall 2.
  • the circular opening 19 according to Figure 1 may also be a square opening 19' ( Figure 7).
  • a light strip-spring 20 can prevent the cigarettes from being completely ejected from the dispenser, but the spring force of this strip 20 is too weak to prevent a cigarette from being pushed outwards.
  • the user can place the cigarettes one by one in the chamber 6 by moving them through the said opening 19, 19'.
  • a movable or hinged side-wall section 21 may be provided.
  • the cigarettes can also be placed in the chamber 6 in question through this movable wall section. If the user keeps the dispenser in the correct position, the cigarettes can reach their correct place in the chamber 6 by force of gravity. Conversely, the cigarettes can then be presented by force of gravity in their correct position opposite the opening 19 or 19' respectively.
  • the displacement of the cigarettes opposite the opening 19 or 19' can also occur under the influence of light pressure spring.
  • the resistance wire 12 lies with its two ends between the male and female elements 22 and 23 respectively of a current-transfer component 24 ( Figure 8) which is connected into the electrical circuit of the dispenser. From a constructional aspect it is worth recommending whenever possible that both male and the female elements of the current-transfer component should each form a whole.
