It is possible to decorate the cigarette case with a unique design and to assist the strength of the cigarette case.

  As shown in the front view of FIG. 1, the cigarette case auxiliary member 10 includes a substantially rectangular plate body 11 formed by molding a single transparent resin sheet. The plate body 11 is made of an optically transparent base material having flexibility, such as a polypropylene film, a polyethylene terephthalate film, a vinyl resin sheet, or paraffin paper.

  Such a plate body 11 is formed with folds 12 so as to form two surfaces corresponding to two adjacent side surfaces of a substantially rectangular parallelepiped cigarette case. Here, commercially available cigarette cases include a soft type formed using thin paper and the like, and a hard type formed using thick paper rather than paper forming the soft type. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the soft-type cigarette case has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped cigarette case covered with a transparent resin 21, and an opening 22 for taking out the cigarette T accommodated in the cigarette case. It is of the type formed by removing a part or all of the covering material covering the upper surface of the case. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, for example, the hard-type cigarette case has an opening 31 for taking out the cigarette T accommodated therein by providing cuts in the side surface and the upper surface of the cigarette case having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. The lid-shaped member 32 formed so as to cover the upper surface of the cigarette case is of a type formed by rotating a fold line provided so as to cross one side surface of the cigarette case as a support shaft. The plate body 11 is specifically configured to have a size as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 depending on which one of the soft type cigarette case and the hard type cigarette case is used.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the plate body 11 in the cigarette case auxiliary member 10 used for the soft type cigarette case has a substantially rectangular main surface having a horizontal width of 72 mm and a vertical width of 77 mm. The fold line 12 is provided so as to be divided into a 54 mm rectangle and an 18 mm rectangle. On the other hand, the plate body 11 of the cigarette case auxiliary member 10 used for the hard type cigarette case has a slightly smaller vertical width than that shown in FIG. 4 so as not to prevent the lid-like member 32 of the cigarette case from rotating. As shown in FIG. 5, a crease 12 is provided to divide a substantially rectangular main surface having a horizontal width of 74 mm and a vertical width of 66 mm into a rectangle having a width of 54 mm and a rectangle having a width of 20 mm. It is formed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a gripping member 13 is integrally formed with the plate body 11 at the upper end portion of the plate body 11. Specifically, the gripping member 13 is formed in an upper end partial region of a rectangle having a short horizontal width among the two rectangles formed by the fold line 12. In the cigarette case auxiliary member 10, by providing this gripping member 13, the plate body 11 can be easily inserted and removed along two adjacent outer surfaces of the cigarette case, as will be described later.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the cigarette case auxiliary member 10 composed of such a plate body 11 includes the plate body 11 and a seal member 40 on which a predetermined design image 41 drawn by at least an arbitrary designer is drawn. And are sold as a set. Specifically, the seal member 40 provides a place for announcing the name and the like of the designer who has drawn the design image 41, and the designer such as the designer's name and the like together with the design image 41 for the convenience of sales. Information 42, a two-dimensional barcode 43 representing link information to a website selling the cigarette case auxiliary member 10 to be described later, and advertisements of sponsor companies and the like are drawn.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the cigarette case auxiliary member 10 is attached along the outer surface of the cigarette case in a state where the seal member 40 is attached to a region from the lower end of the plate body 11 to a predetermined height. The plate body 11 is inserted and used.

  That is, in the case of the soft type cigarette case shown in FIG. 2, the cigarette case auxiliary member 10 is interposed between the cigarette case and the transparent resin 21 via the gripping member 13, for example, as shown in FIG. The plate body 11 is inserted and used along two adjacent outer surfaces of the cigarette case. When it is desired to decorate all four outer surfaces of the cigarette case, for example, as shown in FIG. 9, two cigarette case auxiliary members 10 are used, and one cigarette case auxiliary member 10 is attached to one of the cigarette cases. While inserting along two adjacent outer surfaces, the other cigarette case auxiliary member 10 may be inserted and used along the other two adjacent outer surfaces of the cigarette case.

  On the other hand, in the case of the hard-type tobacco case shown in FIG. 3, the tobacco case auxiliary member 10 is easy because there is almost no gap between the tobacco case and the transparent resin covering the periphery of the tobacco case. Can not be inserted into. Therefore, the cigarette case auxiliary member 10 is sold as a set together with the plate body 11 and the seal member 40, as shown in FIG. 10, for example, a box-like member 50 formed so as to cover a partial area around the cigarette case. The This box-like member 50 is made of an optically transparent base material such as a polypropylene film, a polyethylene terephthalate film, a vinyl resin sheet, or paraffin paper, as in the case of the plate body 11, and covers a hard-type cigarette case with a lid. It is formed in a size that can be stored so as not to hinder the rotation of the member 32. Then, the cigarette case auxiliary member 10 has two adjacent cigarette cases between the cigarette case and the box-shaped member 50 containing the cigarette case, for example, as shown in FIG. The plate body 11 is inserted and used along the outer surface. When it is desired to decorate all four outer surfaces of the cigarette case, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, two cigarette case auxiliary members 10 are used, and one cigarette case auxiliary member 10 is attached to one of the cigarette cases. While inserting along two adjacent outer surfaces, the other cigarette case auxiliary member 10 may be inserted and used along the other two adjacent outer surfaces of the cigarette case.

  As described above, the cigarette case auxiliary member 10 is used so that the information described in the cigarette case other than the region where the seal member 40 is affixed is visible, so that the cigarette T is taken out from the cigarette case. The design of the cigarette case is easily applied to the cigarette case without any damage to the cigarette case and the design of the cigarette case is not impaired. can do. Here, in the cigarette case auxiliary member 10, the plate body 11 is formed by molding a single transparent resin sheet, and the seal member 40 and the box-shaped member 50 are only attached to the plate body 11. In addition, by attaching a plurality of seal members 40 having different designs, the user can easily replace them when they are bored with the design, which is optimal as a disposable part.
