Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem wherein a smoker has to give up smoking a once put-out cigarette afterward again because the cigarette once put out by simply pressing the cigarette on an ashtray is not sightly and because it is not easy to move with the lighted cigarette, though there are many situations in which the smoker has to move to another place where smoking is not permitted from where smoking is permitted after smoking once and many smokers can be sufficiently satisfied with smoking one cigarette a few times only, and in these situations the smoker puts out the cigarette once but wants to smoke the once put-out cigarette again afterward.SOLUTION: The implement has an inner space which is almost filled with one paper-wrapped cigarette. A container is openable/closable and divided into two portions in the longitudinal direction of the center axis. Concentric circular or spiral heat radiation protrusion lines 31 are respectively formed in the circumferential direction on the inner surfaces of the dual-divided portions of the container.

Description

The present invention relates to a structure of a cigarette storage device that is suitable for storing cigarettes that remain on fire when moving to a non-smoking place during smoking or when interrupting with a small amount of smoking. In addition, the cigarette said here shall point out a cigarette.

  There is a tendency to avoid smoking because there are problems with health, disaster prevention, environment, etc. However, since tobacco is still a legitimate product, it is said that the right to smoke if it complies with regulations Things are secured, and if you know the manners, you can enjoy smoking.

  Speaking from the side of smokers, it is extremely important to always recognize that there are only a limited number of zones where people can smoke once they go outdoors. Smoking while walking, as well as many places where smoking is designated, should be refrained, and in places where multiple people gather, it should be based on refraining even if smoking is not designated.

So when you want to smoke, the smoker goes out of the office, goes to the lobby, away from the dining table, into the hallway, and so on, and takes out the cigarettes there. Although it is a smoking-enabled zone but no ashtray is installed, it is also etiquette to carry a portable ashtray. However, there are often situations in which the first dose is called by an office person or a person who is eating, or has to come back suddenly because of an emergency. Since the place to go back to is a non-smoking zone, cigarettes must be thrown away in ashtrays or portable ashtrays.

  In addition, because the price (especially tobacco tax) is high as a background, it is a cigarette that can hardly be thrown away into an ashtray just by taking a dose, so if you just take a dose, you will smoking again later The smoker has a desire to offer. Many smokers want to reduce the number of cigarettes they can, but the cigarettes on the market are too long for them. Regardless of whether you want to reduce it for health reasons or for economic reasons, the first few clothes are not good for cigarettes, and in fact the first one is the best. Therefore, it can be said that commercial tobacco is too long even in the situation of smoking at home. Therefore, it can be said that it is considered that it is preferable to smoke a cigarette in two or three degrees.

However, in reality, there are no tools (containers) that can store butts in a smoking-ready state, and in the case of a fire extinguishing method that presses the burning part against an ashtray, the cigarette deforms and is unsightly. Not to mention, if you push tobacco against an ashtray, the tobacco leaves that are carbonized but not ash are discarded. As a result, the remaining tobacco has a length that shrinks due to the pressing and a total length of the carbonized portion, and the apparent length becomes very short.

  Therefore, the present inventor has finally made the present invention as a result of intensive studies in view of such points, and the feature thereof is an instrument having an internal space that is almost filled with a cigarette. The individual inner surface of the container divided into two in the longitudinal direction of the central axis and configured to be openable / closable is provided with heat radiating ridges concentrically or spirally in the circumferential direction. In the point.

  That is, the present invention is a storage device having an internal space for just one cigarette. The storage device is divided into two in the longitudinal direction of the central axis and is configured to be freely opened and closed. Cigarettes with fire are stored in this space. The burning part of tobacco does not directly touch the inner wall of the storage tool, but is pressed against the heat radiating ridges provided on the inner wall and extinguished.

  The cigarette storage device according to the present invention has an internal space that is substantially filled with a cigarette, but the outer shape thereof is not particularly limited. However, since the internal space is in the shape of a cigarette, that is, a columnar shape, it becomes a generally columnar shape when it is compact. In addition, since the storage tool is divided into two in the longitudinal direction of the central axis and is configured to be opened and closed, in the case of a compact one, it has an appearance like a general seal box (single storage type).

The heat dissipation ridges are those that are in direct contact with the fire of cigarettes, so those with high heat resistance are used. Moreover, since it is what discharge | releases the thermal energy of a tobacco combustion part, it can be said that a thing with high heat conductivity is preferable, but it does not specifically limit.
On the other hand, since the storage device main body side is of a type that can be picked up in a state in which a cigarette with fire is stored therein and put in a pocket or bag, it can be said that it is preferable to use a material with low thermal conductivity. .
That is, for example, it is optimal to adopt a two-layer structure in which the container main body is made of heat-resistant plastic and a metal heat radiating ridge is arranged on the inner surface. However, this point is not particularly limited in the present invention. As a result of the experiment, fire extinguishing can be accomplished in a few seconds even if the heat radiating ridges are not made of metal, and even if all of them are made of metal, there was no heat that touched the outside of the storage tool and caused burns.

In addition, if the airtightness of the internal space of the storage device is increased, the fire extinguishing of the cigarette can be accomplished in a shorter time.

  The tobacco container according to the present invention is an extremely advanced invention having the following effects.

(1) Since a fired cigarette is extinguished and stored without crushing the burning part, it is possible to interrupt smoking once during smoking and to use it again later.
(2) Since the fired cigarette is extinguished and stored without crushing the burning part, when smoking one cigarette in several times, it can be smoked without waste.
(3) The container has an internal space that is almost filled with a cigarette and is divided into two in the longitudinal direction of the central axis and can be opened and closed. Can be carried around.

It is a schematic perspective view which shows an example of the tobacco storage device which concerns on this invention. It is a top view which shows the state which opened the cigarette storage tool shown in FIG. It is sectional drawing which shows schematically the airtight means of the tobacco storage device shown in FIG.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows an example of a cigarette storage device 1 according to the present invention (hereinafter referred to as “the present invention storage device 1”). As is apparent from the figure, the present invention storage device 1 of this example is the most common. It is a storage device for storing cigarettes (diameter: about 8 mm, length: about 85 mm), and has a cross section of an ellipse (width: about 18 mm, thickness: about 12 mm) and a rod-like shape with a length of about 110 mm. . And the fastener 5 and the hinge-shaped fixing | fixed part 2 which cannot be seen in this figure are provided so that the main body A and the main body B of the shape divided into 2 in the longitudinal direction of the central axis can be opened and closed.

  FIG. 2 shows a state in which the storage container 1 of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 is opened. The main body A and the main body B each have a semi-cylindrical recess 3, and a plurality of ridges 31 are provided in the recess 3. In addition to functioning as a member, it has a function of making it difficult to wet the paper portion of tobacco by allowing moisture generated during leaf combustion to escape through the gap. This ridge 31 has a height of about 1 mm, a thickness of less than 1 mm, and a gap between adjacent ridges 31 (that is, a portion for escaping moisture) of about 1 mm. The inner surface is designed to have an inner diameter of about 7 mm so as to be deformed by pushing.

  The ridges 31 of the container 1 of the present invention of this example are not provided about 15 mm from one end of the recess 3. This is a structural part for clarifying which side the filter part should be placed on when the cigarette is loaded, while not only deforming the filter part when the cigarette is loaded. When a cigarette with fire is loaded into the storage case 1 of the present invention, so-called “spotting” adheres to the end face of the ridge 31 in contact with the fire portion. This spear can be easily wiped off with a tissue paper or the like, but if a reignited cigarette is loaded again without wiping, the spear may move to the surface of the cigarette. Even in such a case, as in the structure of this example, it is configured so that the loading position can be easily seen so that the filter portion does not adhere and the filter portion is not deformed. Therefore, there is an effect that it is possible to comfortably re-smoking tobacco.

  As shown in FIG. 3, grooves 4 are provided on the opposing surfaces of the main bodies A and B so as to surround the respective recesses 3, and an O-ring 41 is fitted in one of the grooves 4. These are structures for airtightness when the storage device 1 of the present invention is closed. When the fastener 5 provided on the opposite side of the hinge-shaped fixing portion 2 is fastened, the O-ring 41 is slightly deformed. It is the structure of fitting in the groove | channel 4 which opposes. By providing such an airtight means, the time until the fire is extinguished is shortened.

In addition, in the present invention storage device 1 of this example, both the main body A and the main body B are integrally molded products made of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), but not limited to this, other heat resistant plastics may be used, Or it is good also as a multilayer structure which adhere | attaches the curved metal plate suitable for the recessed part 3 shape of the plastic main body A main body B. FIG. The ridges 31 are provided on the inner surface of the curved metal plate. As the method, for example, a metal bellows round pipe may be cut so as to be equally divided by a diameter portion, or a metal foil such as an aluminum foil. Or by cutting the inner surface of a thin round pipe to form a spiral groove and cutting the pipe (both not shown).
