Description

The present invention relates to a cigarette package, and more specifically, to a cigarette package that enables easy removal from the package without touching the filter portion in the mouth with a finger.

Traditionally, cigarettes have been used habitually all over the world.
Cigarettes are usually stored as a bundle of cigarettes in a box-type, can-type hard case, or soft case, carried in a pocket, etc., and taken out of the case when you want to smoke. ..
For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a box-type hard case as an example of such a cigarette package.
This provides a package for rod-shaped tobacco articles that does not easily stain the rod-shaped tobacco articles before smoking when the rod-shaped tobacco articles after smoking are returned to the package for rod-shaped tobacco articles, and is a storage unit for accommodating the rod-shaped tobacco articles inside. And a horizontal partition that partitions the storage in the horizontal direction perpendicular to the depth direction of the storage and suppresses the scattering of ash of tobacco articles after smoking, and the horizontal partition has one bar-shaped tobacco article at a time. Includes a hole in the horizontal partition that penetrates.

According to such a package, the horizontal partition can suppress the ash scattering of the tobacco article after smoking. As a result, when the stick-shaped tobacco article after smoking is returned to the package for the stick-shaped tobacco article, the stick-shaped tobacco article before smoking can be made less likely to be soiled.

However, in each of the types of cases, the cigarettes are packed vertically in the case with the filter portion facing upward without any gaps, which causes the following problems.
That is, when taking out the cigarette from the case, it is necessary to pick the filter portion in the mouth with a finger and pull it upward from the case.
In the recent corona crisis, people-to-human infections and people-things-to-human infections of coronavirus have been pointed out, but for the former, appropriate care is taken such as wearing masks, ventilation, and avoiding three-cs. On the other hand, the latter is often neglected.
For example, while on the go, touch an object with coronavirus (for example, vehicle straps, escalator railings, door knobs, elevators, push buttons on vending machines, etc.) with your finger and coronavirus on the surface of your finger. The coronavirus adhered to the filter part of the cigarette was picked up with a finger and taken out of the case, so that the coronavirus adhered to the filter part and when smoking, the filter part to which the coronavirus adhered was taken out by the mouth. In addition, there are many cases where the coronavirus is taken into the body.

Such a situation can occur more prominently as the bar cigarette product is newer. That is, if a bundle of cigarettes is tightly packed in the case, it is necessary to pinch the filter part strongly with a finger and pull it upward. In this respect, if the number of cigarettes in the case decreases, , It is also possible to take out the cigarette by directly holding the filter part of the cigarette in the case with the mouth, but in the case of a new product, such taking out is difficult.

Flush toilets are not usually provided on the go, for example, in private smoking spaces, and smoking after washing hands is not tolerated frequently, and if you wash your hands in the toilet, in a public toilet, Entering a public toilet itself increases the risk of infection, as it increases the chances of contact with droplets when flushing the toilet bowl.
On the other hand, in a bar-shaped cigarette product, the chopped part is made by wrapping finely chopped tobacco leaves with paper, and since it is softer than the filter part, the carved part is turned upside down with the filter part facing down. If it is stored in the case, it is rather difficult to pick up the upper part of the notched part from diagonally above and pull it out.
Further, from the viewpoint of temperature and humidity control, the bar-shaped cigarette products are packaged in a bundle by a package and stored in the tobacco package as a package, and when the tobacco package is opened, a part of the package is cut C. It is necessary to remove the bar-shaped cigarette product from the tobacco package by tearing along the line, and according to the usual packaging, each bundle-shaped bar-shaped cigarette product exposes only the upper surface of the filter portion, as described above. The problem becomes more apparent.
