Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

The present invention is different from the prior art in that the cigarette 14 is placed on the wrapping paper by inverting the cigarette 14 left and right with respect to the conventional one, and there is no other difference from the conventional one. That is, if the same members as those of the related art are denoted by the same reference numerals, as shown in FIG. 1A, in the present invention, the filter 14a is positioned on the side away from the wrapping paper cover 12b. The cigarette 14 is placed on the wrapper body 12a such that the unfiltered end 15b is located adjacent to the wrapper cover 12b.

Then, the wrapping paper main body 12a is provided with a filter.
End 15a, that is, the end 1a without the filter, which is folded twice at the end 15a with the filter so as to cover the filter 14a.
In FIG. 5B, the cigarettes 14 are folded once (folding lines are indicated by thin lines), folded into a substantially J-shaped box shape with one end opened, and wrapped in a predetermined number of cigarettes 14 (see FIG. 1B). Also,
The wrapping paper cover 12b is folded into a substantially inverted L-shaped box shape, and covers the opening 12a1 of the J-shaped box-shaped wrapping paper body to cover the wrapping paper body 12a.

Wrapping paper 12 (wrapping paper body 12a, wrapping paper cover-1
A predetermined number of cigarettes 14 wrapped in 2b) are stored in a paper case (hard case) 16 having a rotatable lid 16a (see FIG. 2A), and a transparent film is provided. (Not shown)
The entire fabric 16 is covered to form a tobacco aggregate 10 as a finished product.

When the cigarette 14 is stored in the soft case 116, the cigarette 14 is placed on the wrapping paper 112 as shown in FIGS. Is folded twice from the lateral direction once to package the cigarette 14. The case 116 is then folded over the wrapper 112 such that the end 15b without the filter faces the open end 116a of the case (soft case), and a bandage 118 is erected on the open end 116a. Then, the entire case 116 is covered with a transparent film (not shown).

Wrapping paper 12 (wrapping paper body 12a, wrapping paper cover-1
In the embodiment (FIG. 1 (A), (B) and FIG. 2 (A)) in which the package is packaged in 2b) and stored in a case (hard case) 16 with a lid, the filter 14a is a case. Another embodiment in which it is positioned away from the lid 16a, wrapped in wrapping paper 112, and stored in a case (soft case) 116 (FIGS. 3A, 3B and 2B) In this case, the filter 14a is located away from the open end 116a of the case.

That is, in any of the embodiments,
Case lid 16a or open end 1
Apart from the filter end 16a, the end 15a with a filter, i.e. the filter 14a, is located and the end 15 without the filter is located adjacent to the case lid 16a, which is the extraction side, or the open end 116a. are doing.

By storing in the cases 16 and 116 in this way,
The cigarette 14 with the filter can be pulled out without touching the filter 14a. In other words, the cover of the case
Rotate 16a and remove the wrapping paper cover 12b.
The open end 15b is exposed from the open end of the case 16, and in another embodiment, when the bandage 118 is peeled and the end of the wrapper 112 is broken, it is exposed from the open end 116a of the case. Therefore, the end 15b without the filter is pinched and the cigarette 14 is placed in the case 1.
It can be pulled out from 6, 116, and does not pinch the filter 14a when pulling out.

End 1 without filter, not filter 14a
Since the user can pinch 5b and pull it out and smoke it while holding it in his mouth, there is no opportunity to touch the filter 14a, and dirt on his hands does not transfer to the filter 14a. Therefore, the filter 14a can be prevented from being soiled, and the user does not feel uncomfortable due to the soiled filter 14a.

As can be seen from FIGS. 3A and 3B, the wrapping paper 112 is folded only once at either the end 15a with a filter or the end 15b without a filter. Therefore, there is no difference in the pressing force applied when the wrapping paper 112 is folded at any of the ends 15a and 15b.

On the other hand, as can be seen from FIGS. 1 (A) and 1 (B), the wrapping paper main body 12a has one end 15b having no filter.
The end 15a with a filter while it is folded
, The pressing force applied to the end 15b without the filter acts on the end 15a with the filter, that is, the filter 14a.

Considering the conventional pressing force, as can be seen from FIGS. 4A and 4B, contrary to the present invention, the end 15a with the filter is adjacent to the wrapping paper cover 12b and the wrapping paper main body 12a is opposite to the wrapping paper cover 12b. Wrapping paper body 12a
It is folded twice at the end 15b without the hole. Therefore, a large pressing force is applied to the end 15b without the filter.

At the end 15b without the filter, the cut pieces of cigarette are exposed, and although the cut pieces of cigarette are compressed and adhered to each other, when the pressing force is applied when the wrapping paper is folded. However, the cut pieces are easily loosened from the exposed end 15b. If the cut pieces are loosened and fall off, the end 15b without a filter is undesirably shaped when the attached cigarette 14 is pulled out of the case, which is not preferable.

Conventionally, when folding the wrapping paper (wrapping paper body 12a), a large pressing force is applied to the end 15b without the filter, so that the cut pieces are loosened and the end 15b without the filter is removed.
The end 15b without a filter is easily formed into a rough shape.

On the other hand, as can be seen from FIGS. 1A and 1B, in the present invention, a large pressing force is applied to one end 15a of the filter, that is, the filter 14a.
Even if a large pressing force is applied to 14a, the cut pieces are not loosened and fall off. Since a large pressing force is not applied to the end 15b without the filter, the cut pieces are less likely to be loosened and are less likely to fall off. As described above, according to the present invention, the cut pieces can be prevented from falling off, and the end 15b without the filter does not have an irregular shape in which the cut pieces are loosened.

The folding and wrapping of the wrapping paper 12 in the two embodiments are merely examples, and are not limited to those shown in the drawings. (Note that two folds are straight arrows and one fold is a curve. Indicated by arrows). In short, when the cigarette 14 is pulled out, the end 15b without a filter is
It suffices if the filter is located at the end (drawing end) of the case to be opened or opened, and the filter 14a is positioned away from the drawing end.

[0030]

As described above, in the method for storing a cigarette with a filter according to the present invention, the end without the filter is positioned on the lid side of the case or on the open side of the case. A cigarette is stored in the case.

[0031] Therefore, the user pulls the cigarette from the case by grasping not the filter but the end without the filter, smokes the cigarette in the mouth as it is, has no opportunity to touch the filter, and hands stains are transferred to the filter. Nothing. Therefore, the filter can be prevented from being soiled, and the user does not feel uncomfortable due to the soiled filter.

When the wrapping paper is folded twice at the end with the filter and once at the end without the filter, a large pressing force is applied to the end with the filter, that is, the filter, Even if a large pressing force is applied to the filter, the cut pieces are not loosened and fall off. Further, since a large pressing force is not applied to the end without the filter, the cut pieces are less likely to be loosened, are less likely to fall off, and do not have an irregular shape in which the cut pieces are loosened.

The cigarette and tobacco aggregate of the present invention is stored in the case with the end without the filter positioned at the withdrawal end of the case. The cigarette is pulled out of the case by pinching the end without the cigarette, and the cigarette can be put on the mouth as it is and can be smoked without hand dirt being transferred to the filter.
