As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the cigarette case K is entirely made of an elastic synthetic resin. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the front and rear plates 1 and 2 facing each other and the lower portions of the front and rear plates 1 and 2 are mutually connected. A bottom plate 3 is provided, and on both side edges of the front and rear plates 1 and 2, pieces 10 and 20 that are bent at substantially right angles are provided on opposite sides of the front and rear plates 1 and 2.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the front and rear plates 1 and 2 are set to the size of the front and rear surfaces of the tobacco container T, and the distance between the inner surfaces of the front and rear plates 1 and 2 is determined as the thickness of the tobacco container T. The width is set. Further, the front and rear plates 1 and 2 are set to the same height as the cigarette container T as shown in FIG.

  The pieces 10 and 20 are set so that the upper side is wide and the lower side is narrow. A small gap is formed between the wide portions of the opposing pieces 10 and 20, and 14 mm is provided between the narrow portions. Each gap is formed.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the bottom plate 3 is set to have a width of about 1/3 of the width of the front and rear plates 1 and 2.

Here, in this cigarette case K, the upper side is closer to the lower side than the lower side of the front and rear plates 1 and 2 as shown in FIG. It has become.
(How to use this cigarette case K and its effects)
When the cigarette container T is inserted into the cigarette case K, the cigarette container is moved from the state of FIG. 3 to the state of FIG. 1 and FIG. Push open larger than thickness width dimension of T. This state is maintained, and the cigarette container T is inserted from the upper end opening portion, but this insertion operation is very smooth.

  Next, the external force is removed from the cigarette case K. Then, the cigarette container T is shown in FIG. 2 by the elastic restoring force of the bottom plate 3 (the bottom plate 3 made of elastic synthetic resin corresponds to the spring element described in the section for solving the problem). And the cigarette container T is prevented from being detached from the cigarette case K.

  That is, as described above, the operation of inserting the cigarette container T into the cigarette case K is very smooth, and the cigarette container T is not accidentally pulled out of the cigarette case K in the pocket or accessory case.

  Here, in this cigarette case K, even when the number of remaining cigarettes is reduced and the thickness of the cigarette container T is reduced, the clamping force from the front and rear plates 1 and 2 continues as shown in FIG. The state sandwiched by is maintained. Therefore, even in this case, the cigarette container T will not accidentally come out of the cigarette case K in the pocket or accessory case.

  In addition, in the case of a smoker, it will be uncomfortable every time you see the contents such as “Let's be careful about sucking too much” written on the tobacco container T, but if you use this cigarette case K, It is also possible to obscure these characters.
