Description

  The present invention relates to a portable sucking cigarette storage case that can temporarily store and store sucked cigarettes that can still be sucked and carry them in a pocket or the like.

  In the past, it was basically possible to smoke at any time and anywhere based on the individual's free will. Tobacco can be walked, and ashtrays were provided for smokers at various restaurants and coffee shops as well as trains, sightseeing buses, and pubs. In addition, the number of smokers and smokers, including many women, was extremely large, so mass production and sales of tobacco were carried out, and the price of tobacco was also affordable.

  However, in recent years, smokers' speaking power has increased, and manners regarding the harm and sucking of sidestream smoke have been greatly improved, and the shoulders of smokers have gradually become narrower. From the health perspective, the perception that smoking is not good has spread, and the right to smoke is attracting more attention and respect than the freedom of smoking.

  Moreover, with the decline in smokers and smokers, the price of cigarettes has risen sharply and the wallet of smokers is in a difficult situation. In addition, places and times where cigarettes can be smoked are becoming increasingly limited, and it is unlikely that we will return to a society where we can smoke freely.

  Against the backdrop of this social situation, smokers have become more prone to devise ways to smoke a cigarette more carefully. In other words, a smoker tries to smoke in a limited place within a limited time, but because it takes a certain time to finish smoking, it is not a smoker. There can be many situations that must be interrupted or canceled.

  In such a case, even if it was a sucking cigarette that had a lot of parts that could be sucked in the past, it was pressed against the ashtray without hesitation and extinguished and discarded once, and the opportunity to smoke next time was obtained In the case of smoking, a new cigarette was ignited. However, in recent years, there are an increasing number of smokers who want to temporarily store or carry cigarettes so that they can smoke the next time even if they are smoked due to the above-mentioned social circumstances.

  For example, Patent Literature 1 below discloses a portable cigarette fire extinguishing storage device that is easy to use, such as that the mouthpiece is not soiled. According to this, the fire extinguishing part main body provided with the insertion part formed in a concave shape for inserting and extinguishing the tobacco burning part, and the entire cigarette in communication with the insertion part by coupling with the fire extinguishing part main body And a storage cap that forms a sealed space capable of storing the shape, and the shape of the insertion portion is formed so as to gradually reduce the diameter toward the bottom so that it can accommodate cigarettes of different thicknesses. A portable cigarette fire-fighting container is described.

JP2013-192529A

  Too many cigarettes that can be smoked when smoking is interrupted due to emergency use in a single dose still remain. It is not preferable. On the other hand, the conventionally known cigarette cases are not preferable from the viewpoint of hygiene, are difficult to handle butts, and the smell of cigarettes diffuses to the surroundings. It was expected to be user friendly.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems. The smoke of a sucked cigarette is sealed as well as the smell, and it can be stored and taken out more hygienically and easily. It is an object to provide a portable smoking cigarette storage case that can be managed.

  The portable sucking cigarette storage case of the present invention includes a hollow cylindrical body part that accommodates the entire sucked cigarette as it is, a tip cap that detachably covers the tip of the body part and holds ash discharged from the tip. And a rear end cap that is detachably attached to the rear end of the body part for taking in and out the cigarette, and the hollow of the body part communicates from the front end to the rear end.

  It is possible to provide a portable smoking cigarette storage case that seals the odor of the smoke of the smoking cigarette, can be stored and taken out more hygienically and easily, and can also manage the butt that has fallen off during storage.

(A)-(d) is a figure explaining the structure outline | summary of the portable sucking tobacco storage case concerning 1st embodiment, (e)-(h) is the portable sucking tobacco concerning 2nd embodiment. It is a figure explaining the composition outline of a storage case.

(First embodiment)
FIG. 1: is a figure explaining the structure outline | summary of the portable sucking tobacco storage case concerning 1st embodiment. The portable sucking cigarette storage case 1000 can also be configured using an outer shell case in which the core of a highlighter pen that matches the size of the cigarette is removed.

  As shown in FIG. 1A, the portable sucking tobacco storage case 1000 includes a body part 1100, a front end cap 1200 that covers the front end of the body part 1100, and a rear end cap 1300. When a fluorescent pen case is used, the tip cap 1200 corresponds to a so-called cap that protects and protects the pen tip from drying.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 1B and 1C, the fired sucking cigarette 1400 is inserted into the body 1100 as it is from the rear end cap 1300 side with the ignition side as the head. The cigarette 1400 inserted into the body 1100 is extinguished by an oxygen deficiency or the like in a very short time before the body 1100 is severely damaged or heated. The time until the fire extinguishes is such that the body 1100 can feel slightly warm in the confirmation experiment of the present inventors.

  When the sucking cigarette 1400 is inserted into or removed from the body 1100, the rear end cap 1300 is removed. For this reason, the rear end cap 1300 may be covered with a cover 1310 such as a rubber or silicon tube, and this may be used as a non-slip member. In particular, when a case such as a fluorescent pen is used, the rear end cap 1300 is firmly attached so as not to be easily removed and to be easily removed in order to prevent evaporation of the ink inside due to its characteristics. ing.

  On the other hand, in the portable sucking tobacco storage case 1000 according to the present invention, when the cigarette 1400 is put in and out, the opening operation and the sealing operation of the rear end cap 1300 are essential. Therefore, the rear end cap 1300 may be newly designed as a lid body type. However, if the rear end cap of the fluorescent pen case is used, the length of the portion inserted into the body 1100 is cut as appropriate. For example, it may be devised so as to facilitate the desorption.

  Further, as can be understood from FIG. 1, the inner diameter of the body portion 1100 is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the tobacco 1400, and the inner diameter of the body portion 1100 is slightly large enough to allow tobacco to be taken in and out. And the inside of the body part 1100 is provided with the hollow space connected from the rear end to the front-end | tip. For this reason, the ash remaining at the tip of the cigarette 1400 where the fire has extinguished may be discharged from the tip of the body portion 1100 to the outside and held in the internal space 1210 of the tip cap 1200 when it is peeled off from the tobacco. Is possible. 1B or the stepped portion 1120 shown in FIG. 1C can be appropriately configured in any manner, for example, a cigarette with a convex shape inside. A stopper may be provided. The cigarette stopper prevents further intrusion of cigarettes but allows ash to pass in the tip direction.

  In this case, the ash is dropped into the tip cap 1200 by passing through a portion where the inner diameter of the body portion 1100 is narrowed by the tapered portion 1110, the stepped portion, or the like, so that the inside of the internal space 1210 of the tip cap 1200 is reduced. Ashes can be prevented from returning to the body portion 1100 and can be hygienically managed and stored.

  Further, when sucking the cigarette 1400 again, the rear end cap 1300 is removed and the cigarette is taken out from the rear end. The rear end cap 1300 is preferably covered with a non-slip rubber tube 1310 as shown in FIG. Even if the cigarette 1400 does not come out, it can be easily taken out from the rear end by removing the front end cap 1200 and lightly breathing in from the front end of the body 1100.

(Second embodiment)
The second embodiment shown in FIGS. 1E to 1H is a portable smoking cigarette storage case corresponding to the slim cigarette in which the cigarette of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is a slim cigarette with a small inner diameter. The only difference is in the following points.

  FIG.1 (e)-(h) is a figure explaining the structure outline | summary of the portable sucking tobacco storage case 2000 concerning 2nd embodiment. The portable sucking cigarette storage case 2000 can also be configured using an outer shell case in which the core of a fluorescent pen suitable for the size of the cigarette is removed.

  As shown in FIG. 1 (e), the portable sucking cigarette storage case 2000 includes a body portion 2100, a front end cap 2200 that covers the front end of the body portion 2100, and a rear end cap 2300. When a fluorescent pen case is used, the tip cap 2200 corresponds to a so-called cap that protects and protects the pen tip from drying.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 (f) and 1 (g), the fired slimming cigarette 2400 is inserted into the body 2100 as it is from the rear end cap 2300 side with the ignition side at the head. The cigarette 2400 inserted into the body 2100 is extinguished due to lack of oxygen or the like in a very short time before the body 2100 is severely damaged by heat or becomes hot. The time to extinguish the fire is such that it can be felt that the body 2100 becomes slightly warm in the confirmation experiment of the present inventors.

  When inserting and removing the sucking slim cigarette 2400 from the body 2100, the rear end cap 2300 is removed. For this reason, the rear end cap 2300 may be covered with a cover 2310 such as a rubber or silicon tube, and this may be used as a non-slip member. In particular, when a case such as a fluorescent pen is used, the rear end cap 2300 is firmly attached so as not to be easily removed and to be easily removed in order to prevent evaporation of the ink inside due to its characteristics. ing.

  On the other hand, in the portable sucking tobacco storage case 2000 according to the present invention, when the slim cigarette 2400 is put in and out, the opening operation and the sealing operation of the rear end cap 2300 are essential. Therefore, the rear end cap 2300 may be newly designed as a lid type. However, if the rear end cap of the fluorescent pen case is used, the length of the portion inserted into the body 2100 is appropriately hermetically engaged. You may devise so that attachment or detachment may become easy by cut | disconnecting to a part short. Here, the sealing engagement portion means between the two convex rings with respect to the insertion portion of the rear end cap into the body. (Usually, the insertion part of the back end cap such as a fluorescent pen may be provided with two outwardly protruding small rings spaced apart to increase frictional resistance. To make the sealing property stronger)

  As can be understood from FIGS. 1E to 1H, the inner diameter of the body portion 2100 is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the slim tobacco 2400, and the inner diameter of the body portion 2100 is such that tobacco can be taken in and out. Slightly larger. And the inside of the body part 2100 is provided with the hollow space connected from the rear end to the front-end | tip. For this reason, the ash remaining at the tip of the slim cigarette 2400 where the fire has extinguished may be discharged from the tip of the body portion 2100 to the outside and held in the internal space 2210 of the tip cap 2200 when peeled off from the cigarette. Is possible.

  In this case, the ash is dropped into the tip cap 2200 through a portion where the inner diameter of the body portion 2100 is narrowed by the tapered portion 2110, the stepped portion 2120, etc., so that the internal space 2210 of the tip cap 2200 The inside ash can be prevented from returning to the body portion 2100 and can be hygienically managed and stored. The tapered portion 2110 shown in FIG. 1 (f), the stepped portion 2120 shown in FIG. 1 (g), and the like can be appropriately configured in any manner, for example, a cigarette with a convex shape inside. A stopper may be provided. The cigarette stopper prevents the slim cigarette 2400 from entering further in the tip direction, but allows ash to pass in the tip direction.

  When sucking and sucking the slim tobacco 2400 again, the rear end cap 2300 is removed and the slim cigarette 2400 is taken out from the rear end. The rear end cap 2300 is preferably covered with a non-slip rubber tube 2310 as shown in FIG. Even if the slim cigarette 2400 does not come out, it can be easily taken out from the rear end if the front end cap 2200 is removed and the breath is lightly blown from the front end of the body 2100.

  The portable sucking cigarette storage case of the present invention includes a hollow cylindrical body part that accommodates the entire sucked cigarette as it is, a tip cap that detachably covers the tip of the body part and holds ash discharged from the tip. And a rear end cap that is detachably attached to the rear end of the body part for taking in and out the cigarette, and the hollow of the body part communicates from the front end to the rear end.

  This portable sucking cigarette storage case can be inserted into the body portion from the ignition side while removing the rear end cap and igniting the sucking cigarette. The ignited cigarette inserted into the body part is deficient in oxygen, and is extinguished within a few seconds without the body part being damaged by heat or the outside being heated by heat conduction.

  Further, the ash remaining at the tip of the cigarette is discharged into the tip cap from the tip side of the body portion. This makes it possible to temporarily store the ash in the tip cap without scattering the ash while carrying the portable smoking cigarette storage case, for example, in any place such as a place where an ashtray is installed. The tip cap can be removed and the ash can be discarded.

  Also, since the entire cigarette is stored inside the body, in other words, the cigarette is sealed in a state where the entire cigarette is covered with a cylindrical case, so that any odor or smoke can be dissipated hygienically. It is possible to carry a cigarette without smoking. In addition, it looks like a pen shape, so even if you bring it to a business meeting, a meeting place, or other public places, you don't have any discomfort for smokers. You can carry a cigarette without being noticed.

  Further, when sucking again at a place where the sucked cigarette can be sucked, the rear end cap of the portable sucking cigarette storage case is removed, and the cigarette is taken out from the rear end. In this case, too, the tobacco comes out of the filter part, so it is hygienic without the hands getting dirty with ash.

  Also, if the cigarette is firmly inserted deep in the front end direction of the body part and is difficult to remove, remove the front end cap of the body part and blow lightly to blow a whistle from the front end part. Thus, the tobacco is pushed toward the rear end and can be easily taken out from the rear end. Even in this case, since it comes out of the tobacco filter part, it is possible to handle it more hygienically without soiling the hands with ash. More preferably, the inner surface of the body part (particularly where the tobacco filter is in contact) is made of a resin or the like that has been subjected to a so-called antibacterial treatment. Further, a deodorizing material such as activated carbon or zeolite may be mounted in the internal cavity of the rear end cap in a replaceable manner.

  As a result, it is possible to effectively reuse cigarettes, etc. that still have a portion that can still be sucked, and it can be sucked firmly multiple times until the end, contributing to resource saving and cost saving. it can. Furthermore, since the smoke of the ignited cigarette inserted into the portable sucking cigarette storage case is instantly stopped, it is also effective when people who dislike sidestream smoke come close. In an ordinary ashtray, even if the cigarette is discarded, the ignition state may remain for a while or smoke may be generated. However, in the portable sucking cigarette storage case of the present invention, such a concern can be eliminated. Even when it is desired to interrupt or stop smoking at a conversation or at a liquor table, the cigarette storage case of the present invention can be used to extinguish cigarettes and prevent generation of sidestream smoke.

  In addition, the ash emitted from the inserted cigarette can be discharged into the tip cap, and the ash retained in the tip cap in this manner can be placed in an ashtray or the like at any place and at any time. Can be discarded. For this reason, the ash does not stay or accumulate in the body, and maintenance is easy, and the portable sucking cigarette storage case and the internal cigarette can be kept hygienic and clean. The ash in the tip cap to be discarded and the air around the cigarette body and the cigarette are sealed inside the hollow cylindrical body portion by the tip cap and the back end cap. Smoke can be carried safely and safely and economically without scent leaking outside.

  In the portable sucking cigarette storage case of the present invention, preferably, the rear end cap is provided with a non-slip portion having a non-slip function at the time of detachment. The non-slip portion may be, for example, a rubber or silicon tube that covers the rear end cap, or a part of the rear end cap may be formed of a non-slip member. Since the rear end cap is desorbed when the cigarette is taken in and out, it is preferable that the rear end cap is formed so as to be easily desorbed but not unintentionally removed. The rear end cap may be a lid.

  For example, a case of a fluorescent pen or the like employs a configuration in which the rear end cap is very tightly sealed so that the ink retained therein does not evaporate, and its attachment / detachment is not assumed. For this reason, when using a fluorescent pen case, the length of the insertion portion can be shortened to the hermetic engagement portion or the frictional resistance during insertion can be reduced so that the rear end cap can be easily attached and detached. It is preferable to arrange them by appropriately devising them by reducing the insertion depth.

  The portable sucking tobacco storage case of the present invention is more preferably characterized in that the anti-slip portion is a tube made of rubber or silicon. A rubber or silicon tube covered with a rear end cap is preferable because it can be easily adopted later and the tube can be removed if deemed unnecessary. Further, the rubber may be silicon rubber, or may be a non-slip material of any other material / shape. Various types of anti-slip materials have been commercialized at present, and there are gel-type materials that have an elastomeric or human-like feel, and any known material can be used arbitrarily.

  Further, the portable sucking cigarette storage case of the present invention is more preferably characterized in that the body portion is formed of resin. Without being limited to the body part, the front end cap and the rear end cap may also be formed of resin. Resin is relatively difficult to transmit heat compared to metal or the like, so even if a high-temperature ignition cigarette tip is inserted, the body does not become so hot that it cannot be held by hand, and the fire is extinguished quickly. Further, the rear end caps 1300 and 2300 may have any shape and material as long as they have shapes and materials that can prevent the cigarettes stored in the main body case from unexpectedly jumping out.

  In addition, since the resin is relatively light, it is convenient to carry, and even if it is held in a pocket, there is no need to feel the burden or weight. Furthermore, since the actual outer case material such as a fluorescent pen is often plastic, it is preferable that the fluorescent pen or the like cannot be discriminated visually. From the outside, a cigarette case is preferable because it can be called a secret cigarette case without being seen by a third party.

  Further, the portable sucking tobacco storage case of the present invention is further characterized in that a cigarette stopper for restricting excessive insertion of tobacco is provided on the inner wall near the tip of the body portion. Since the length of the body part is longer than the length of the cigarette, it is possible to prevent the cigarette from being unnecessarily inserted too far and difficult to take out. In particular, since the length of the sucked tobacco that has been sucked in and the remaining portion is reduced, the tobacco stopper is effective.

  In the portable sucking tobacco storage case of the present invention, more preferably, the tobacco stopper is a convex portion protruding from the inner wall or a small diameter portion having a small inner diameter.

  The tobacco stopper can be reduced in size by adding a step or taper to the inner diameter of the body portion, or provided with a convex portion having an arbitrary shape and size on the inner wall to prevent further insertion of tobacco. Even in this case, it is assumed that the hollow of the body part communicates to the tip, so if some ash remaining on the tip of the sucked tobacco peels off, the ash passes over the cigarette stopper and the tip cap Can be discharged into. If the tip cap is removed, the ash can be discharged from the tip of the body portion to the outside for internal cleaning.

  Further, the portable sucking tobacco storage case of the present invention more preferably allows ash to be retained by smoothly discharging ash between the tip of the body portion and the inner wall of the tip cap facing the body portion. A space is provided. Even if the ash remaining on the tip of the sucking cigarette is peeled off from the cigarette stored in the case, it can be temporarily held and stored in the cap, so smoking is not carried out without releasing ash around it. It becomes possible to protect manners. By forming the inner diameter of the tip of the body part to be narrower than that of the cigarette storage part, it is further preferable because the ash once discharged into the tip cap can be reduced to return to the inside of the body part.

  The portable sucking cigarette storage case of the present invention is more preferably characterized in that the pen case is used after at least the body part and the tip cap are removed from the pen core. This is a limitation related to the application invention. For example, the body portion of the highlighter is literally formed for the highlighter.

  However, the present inventor has found that a case portion in which a lead is removed from a pen, typically a fluorescent pen, can be used as a portable sucking cigarette storage case. If a fluorescent pen or the like whose thickness is just suitable for cigarettes is purchased and the core is removed, it can be used as a case having a continuous hollow portion.

  This makes it possible to realize a very durable and durable cigarette case. In view of its original use mode, it is assumed that the pen case is usually not considered much in terms of heat resistance, etc. However, as long as it is used as a portable sucking cigarette storage case of the present invention, there is nothing. No problem. Even if the lit cigarette is stored, it is digested in a very short time, and no heat damage is confirmed.

  In addition, in an empty case such as a highlighter pen with a core removed, the nib originally exists and the space in the tip cap functions just as a temporary storage place for ash, which is also preferable in this respect.

  In the portable sucking cigarette storage case of the present invention, the pen is more preferably a fluorescent pen. As described above, although empty cases with various pen cores can be used, according to the inventor's study, an empty case with a fluorescent pen core is currently the easiest to use. It was.

  Moreover, the portable sucking tobacco storage case of the present invention is more preferably characterized in that the inner diameter of the body portion substantially coincides with the outer diameter of the tobacco. Thereby, since it becomes difficult for excess air to exist around the cigarette accommodated in the case, quicker digestion becomes possible. However, it is preferable that the inner diameter of the case is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the cigarette to such an extent that there is no hindrance to taking in and out of the cigarette, that is, the cigarette can be smoothly slidably moved inside the body portion of the case. Substantially coincident includes such a state.

  The portable sucking cigarette storage case described in the above embodiment is not limited to the description in the embodiment, and its configuration, material, etc. can be freely changed within the scope of the present invention and within the obvious range. It is possible to apply any combination of known configurations.

  INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention is suitable for a cigarette case that can store and manage sucked cigarettes and can smoke the sucked cigarettes hygienically on the next smoking occasion.
