Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention can safely extinguish a fire by storing a lit cigarette, and cutting off a tip of the cigarette in the stored state, and sucks the butts again deliciously. The present invention relates to a tobacco fire extinguisher that can be used.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a fire extinguisher for cigarettes, a fire extinguisher equipped with a sealable cigarette insertion container is known. In this tobacco insertion container, the contained cigarettes were made to be in an oxygen-deficient state by a closed structure to extinguish a fire.

[0003]

The amount of smoking for one cigarette varies depending on the smoker.
Most of them quit smoking in the middle of the cigarette, and in severe cases, they may find cigarettes that have become cigarettes with little or no smoking, just by lighting the tip of the cigarette.
As described above, the smoking amount of one cigarette is wasteful in many parts, and it can be said that it is uneconomical in terms of the unit price per cigarette being 10 yen or more.

[0004] Therefore, if a cigarette butt that can still be smoked is sucked again, it is possible to smoke without wasting until the end. However, there are many opinions that when sucking the butts again, the taste becomes bitter and cannot be tasted well, and smoking the butts has a bad appearance. One of the reasons why the taste of this butt is bad is that the ash and the taste of this ash stick to the butt when the fire is extinguished because the ash remains at the tip of the fire. Also, the bad appearance is due to the bad appearance that the ash remains at the tip of the fire and is noticed as a butt. As described above, regarding the butts, the fact that ash remains at the tip of the fire is one of the causes of the deterioration of taste and poor appearance.

[0005] In the present invention, the ash at the tip of the nose, which causes the above-mentioned deterioration of taste and poor appearance, is cut in a housed state, thereby extinguishing the nose and extinguishing the taste when sucking the butts. It is an object of the present invention to provide a tobacco fire extinguisher that prevents a drop and an unsightly appearance and allows one cigarette to be smoked deliciously without waste.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a cigarette extinguisher according to the present invention (claim 1) is provided with a sealable tobacco insert for receiving and storing a lit cigarette therein. The structure includes a tube, cutting means for cutting the tip of the cigarette stored in the tobacco insertion tube, and take-out means for taking out the tobacco stored in the tobacco insertion tube.

In this cigarette fire extinguisher, a cigarette that is still lit is stored in a cigarette insertion tube, and the tobacco tip is cut by cutting means in the stored state. As a result, the cigarette becomes a cigarette butt from which the ash at the tip of the fire has been removed. The extinguished part of the fire extinguishes due to lack of oxygen due to the closed structure of the tobacco insertion tube. Then, the butts can be sucked again by removing the butts from the tobacco insertion tube by the removing means. In this case, since there is no ash left at the tip of the butt, it is possible to prevent a decrease in taste,
It is hard to notice that this is a butt, and you can enjoy smoking without worrying about the appearance.

In the present invention, there is a mode (claim 2) in which an ash reservoir is provided below the cutting position by the cutting means. The cutting means is formed by a fixed blade having a cutting edge provided on the inner periphery of the tobacco insertion tube, and a movable blade which reciprocates so as to cross the inside of the tobacco insertion tube facing the fixed blade. Is connected to an external operating member slidably provided in a slit groove formed in the cutter casing (claim 3). Further, the take-out means is formed of a backing plate supported so as to be able to advance and retreat in the radial direction of the tobacco insertion tube,
There is a mode in which the backing plate is connected to an external operation member slidably provided in a slit groove formed in the axial direction of the tobacco insertion cylinder (claim 4).
