Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cigarette dispenser that comes from a storage container and one with a closable outlet opening there is a removable end cap, a transport device for the partial ejection of the cigarette is provided by a spring-elastic return element is acted upon.
  • Such a cigarette dispenser is known from DE 24 06 038 A1.
  • At the lower part of the known cigarette dispenser becomes slidable enclosed on the sleeve held, the bottom of which in the starting position is spaced from the bottom of the reservoir.
  • a helical compression spring held is also on the bottom of the sleeve with the Outlet coaxial pin arranged the bottom of the reservoir penetrates.
  • the invention has for its object to a cigarette dispenser create that without the help of the eyes with fewer handles and can be operated from one hand position and also an abbreviation the smoke preparation phase.
  • an operating button which acts on a spring element, which actuates a slide closing the outlet opening and the Carries transport device and is held on an insertion part, which in Storage container provides another space for receiving a lighter, the asymmetrical outer contour and the arrangement of the Control buttons are adapted to the anatomy of the human hand.
  • the number of handles is reduced from 9 to 5, with the remaining ones Hand movements also require fewer arm movements. Furthermore, there is no need to switch on the sense of sight. This creates significant advantages when smoking at the wheel of a motor vehicle, but also at work (machine operation, phone calls, etc.) or with arm and hand disabilities, since there is no change in the direction of view to the road and one-hand operation is possible. Furthermore cigarettes and lighter form a unit, which ensures order and No need to search. Finally, the cigarette dispenser according to the invention serve as a storage container for self-manufacturers of cigarettes.
