DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vertical box-type cigarette dispenser which can move and store commercially available cigarettes in a box as a storage container and take out cigarettes one by one. The present invention relates to a cigarette dispenser having a configuration in which cigarettes are lifted one by one from an upper opening by sliding a sliding piece on an upper portion of a box to be stored.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Commercial cigarettes are often smoked in the packaged state at the time of sale, but are transferred to other containers in reception rooms and the like. When smoking a cigarette, one must be taken out and smoked. However, it is often inconvenient to remove exactly one cigarette from the packaged state.

In the case of a completely packed cigarette that has just been opened, in order to separate and take out only one cigarette, the upper end of the tobacco packaging container is tapped with a finger to make use of the inertia, and only one cigarette is used. Is moved upward to separate it, and it is easy to take it out before it is pulled out. After the first one is pulled out, the other one can be taken out relatively easily,
After consuming some, the remaining tobacco is often stored in an unstable state in the tobacco packaging. Techniques are required to take out any one of the irregularly stored states. In other words, as a method of taking out, a box is shaken up and down, and the whole housing of a plurality of boxes is appropriately shaken to create a state in which only one comes out, and then taken out. However, even if the user intends to shake the tobacco container up and down with an appropriate force and timing, the position of the opening and the position of the remaining tobacco may not match, and the tobacco near the opening may move up and down. There is a drawback that it may jump out directly and fall.

[0004] In addition, since the opening is made by crushing a part of the container, the opened cigarette always gets moist. Desirably, the opening is sealed to prevent moisture from entering, but it is difficult from a cost point of view to apply such a device to a packaging box that is normally sold. Therefore, in the case of a smoker who smokes a small number of cigarettes, it is desired that the smokers be accommodated in a hermetically sealed box. The conventional refill container is a cosmetic container exclusively for decoration, carrying, or serving a reception room, and has a drawback that these containers are not usually designed to prevent moisture from entering.
