  Further, a first fire extinguishing section 24 may be provided outside the lid body 12 of the opening / closing lid 11. The fire extinguishing part 24 is made of a heat-resistant and flame-retardant material, and is a mesh body (not shown) made of, for example, a metal fitting, which is bonded to the outer surface of the opening / closing lid with an adhesive. As a result, the fire of the cigarette 31 can be easily extinguished by the fire extinguishing unit 24.

  Further, the second fire extinguishing part 25 may be installed inside the bottom part 14 of the arm body 13. Thus, when the ash is dropped into the bag body 6 by inserting the tip of the cigarette 31 with fire into the back of the cigarette socket 5, the fire extinguishing part 25 does not get in the way, and the ash generated when the fire is extinguished 6 and the appearance of the main body 1 is not soiled. In FIG. 4, the first and second fire extinguishing units 24 and 25 are illustrated, but it goes without saying that at least one of them may be provided for each cigarette case.

  Thus, in this embodiment, in accordance with claim 1, in a cigarette case in which a plurality of cigarettes are arranged and stored in the cigarette case body, a cigarette shell inlet 5 is provided on the side surface 4 of the cigarette case body 1, Since the cigarette case storage portion 6 is provided inside the cigarette case main body 1 in communication with the cigarette case inlet 5, the cigarette case can be provided without changing the size of the cigarette case main body 1, so that the carrying is convenient.

  As described above, in this embodiment, since the opening / closing lid 11 is provided at the insertion port 5 in correspondence with the second aspect, the butt does not pop out when not in use. It won't get dirty.

  In this way, in this embodiment, corresponding to claim 3, the storage portion is the bag body 6, the width is substantially the same as the width of the side surface, and it is foldable and difficult to thin. Since it is made of a flammable material, the storage unit 6 is folded in the case 2, so that it has the same size as a normal cigarette case, and similarly holds a predetermined number, for example, 20 cigarettes 31. Can do. If the bag body is folded, if 20 cigarettes cannot be stored in the cigarette case, the number of cigarettes may be reduced as appropriate.

  In this way, in this embodiment, corresponding to claim 4, since the width of the opening / closing lid 11 is larger than the diameter of the cigarette 31, the ash can be dropped into the storage portion without spilling.

  Next, another embodiment of the cigarette case according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing another embodiment. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected about the structure similar to the said Example, and description is abbreviate | omitted for simplicity.

  The open / close lid 11 includes a lid portion 12 and an arm body 41. The arm body 41 is bonded to the inside of the lid portion 12 at the bottom portion 42 with an adhesive or the like. The side portion 43 of the arm body 41 is inclined at an acute angle inward with respect to the bottom portion 42, and when the opening / closing lid 11 is fully opened, a space formed by the bottom portion 42 and both side portions 43 is one cigarette. It is provided to be slightly larger than the diameter.

  Thereby, it becomes easy to insert the cigarette 31 from the diagonally upper side into the cigarette butt insertion port 5, and ash can be dropped smoothly. Moreover, since the side part 43 bends inward when the opening / closing lid 11 is closed and is housed between the lid part 12 and the bag body 6, the opening / closing lid 11 becomes an obstacle when not in use.
