Therefore, when opening the arc-shaped opening end, the user can operate the arc-shaped notch with his / her finger to perform an easy opening operation.

[0014]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Some specific embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

That is, FIG. 1 is a diagram showing six shapes of an example of a card-shaped portable butts holder 1 according to the present invention when actually used. Here, when actually using the cigarette holder 1 of the present invention, a space for accommodating ash of cigarettes and butts must be formed therein, but as shown in FIG. It can be understood that, by folding each of the folds 2, together with the bending force of the flexible material 3, the housing space 4 such as a butt is formed in a substantially closed state.

One example of the practical use of the card-shaped portable butts holder 1 of the present invention is as illustrated in FIG.
That is, first, the left and right ends 7, 7 of the opening 6 of the butt holder 1 in which the arc opening end 5 is bent inward along the arc fold 2 to form the butts housing space 4 as shown in FIG.
Press and hold with your finger so that
(A)). Next, a lid 2 for closing the opening 6 is provided.
One of the arc-shaped opening ends 5 located above is pushed up with a thumb or the like and opened (FIG. 2B). In this case, if an arc-shaped notch 8 is formed in the upper arc-shaped opening end 5 as shown in the figure, a finger can easily be caught on the portion, and the opening operation is facilitated.

Further, from this state, the finger is sandwiched in the direction of a white arrow shown in FIG.
Is pressed, the lower arcuate opening end 5 which has been bent by the bending force of the flexible material 3 bends, and the space 4 for accommodating butts and the like is opened.
Here, the lower arc-shaped opening end portion 5 left bent.
When the tobacco ash and butts are stored in the space 4, the guide 9
, And the housing operation of the butts and the like becomes easy (FIG. 2D).

Also, the card-shaped portable butts holder 1 of the present invention.
A metal film 10 such as an aluminum film is adhered to the inner side of the inside, and a fire extinguishing operation of an ignited butt is performed by utilizing the fire resistance and heat resistance of the metal film 10 (FIG. 2 ( d)), it is possible to prevent the user from feeling the heat that would cause a burn even if a butt or the like maintained at a high temperature is accommodated. Therefore, after the opening 6 is closed by the two arc-shaped opening ends 5 and 5, even if several butts are accommodated in the butts accommodation space 4, as shown in FIG. It is assumed that there is no danger even if the user carries the butts holder 1 of the present invention in his / her pants pocket or the like and carries it around. It is also possible to employ a known heat-resistant (fire-resistant) sheet as a fire-resistant / heat-resistant material.

Further, when discarding the butts and tobacco ash in the butts storage space 4, as shown in FIG. 2 (e), both ends of the two arc-shaped openings 5 are opened. The opening 6 may be completely opened, and the butts or the like may be discharged by turning the container upside down. In this case as well, by pushing the ends 7, 7 from both sides with fingers, the opening 6 is opened more widely, and the stored butts and the like can be easily disposed of.

As described above, the shape and size of the portable butts holder 1 of the present invention are substantially the same as those of a generally used credit card or cash card, as shown in FIG. Thus, when the arc-shaped opening ends 5, 5 are not bent along the arc-shaped fold and are kept straight, the butt holder 1 becomes a flat plate-like shape, and this thickness can be about 3 mm or less. In other words, in this state, it is substantially equivalent to a general credit card and the like, including the thickness as a flat plate-like body.

Therefore, in this state, it is possible to carry the portable telephone in a card storage unit provided in a wallet, a regular wallet, or the like, similarly to a normal credit card or the like. Of course, the butt holder 1 of the present invention has a shape in which the arc-shaped opening end 5 slightly protrudes in this state. If equivalent, the arc-shaped protruding portion does not completely enter the card accommodating portion.

In addition, most of the commercially available cigarettes are usually 20 packs packed in one case. The size is such that it fits well in the gap between the cigarette case, and is easily accommodated in the gap between the transparent bag-like film surrounding the cigarette case and the cigarette case. Therefore, since it is possible to carry the cigarette together with the cigarette to be smoked, even when smoking the hand-held cigarette in a place where there is no smoking facility, the user forgets to hold the butts and throws away the butts. There is no such thing as not getting. As described above, when carrying the cigarette holder 1 of the present invention in a card holder such as a wallet or a regular purse, the cigarette holder 1 is usually always carried around. It is possible to eliminate the possibility of throwing away and the like.

The cigarette holder 1 of the present invention is formed of a flexible material 3 and utilizes this bending force.
As such a flexible material 3, a soft resin material such as plastic can be adopted. Also, paper or a laminated material of paper and a soft resin material can be adopted. However, as described above, since the metal film 10 is adhered to the inside to realize fire resistance and heat resistance, the flexible material 3 is used. It does not need to be fire and heat resistant.

When the arc-shaped opening ends 5 and 5 are bent inward to form the butts or the like accommodation space 4, the opening 6 is formed by overlapping two upper and lower arc-shaped opening ends 5 and 5. Therefore, even if the extinguishing of the inserted butts is not always complete, the extinguishing of the butts and the like becomes an incomplete combustion state and is extinguished. In particular, if the edge material is formed of a soft material such as rubber at the arc-shaped end portion, a more complete sealed state is realized, so that the extinguishing of the butts can be made safer.

Further, in the above-described apparatus, the surface of the cigarette holder 1 is left plain, but by applying image processing with a suitable design or printing character information to express it, It can appeal to the user's aesthetics and hobbies, and can be used as a medium for expressing various advertisements.

[0026]

According to the present invention as described above, the card-shaped butts are excellent in portability by using the card-shaped buttocks, so that it is unlikely to be forgotten when smoking, and there is no medium for new advertising expressions. Since the portable butts can be obtained with a simple structure, it is possible to provide a highly convenient product while keeping the manufacturing costs low and so on. is there.
