Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a box-shaped dummy cigarette box used in cigarette vending machines and the like.

<Prior art> The so-called dummy cigarettes that are conventionally used for display in vending machines, display cases, etc. are dummy cans that are formed by appropriately bending a tin plate on which a predetermined pattern of the type of cigarette is directly printed on the surface. Also known are boxes made of simple thick paper (cardboard) with printing applied to them.

<Problem to be solved by the invention> However, since all of these dummy cigarette boxes have closed lids that are never opened, it is impossible to know what the contents are, and this affects the desire to purchase them. Particularly in the recent flood of foreign cigarettes, people want to know what kind of cigarette content (shape) the cigarettes are packed in. Of course, in a box-type cigarette box, you can open the lid of the actual product and pull out some of the cigarettes inside and display it.
This method is not practical because it immediately causes discoloration and deformation, lowering the product value.

In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention aims to provide a dummy cigarette box in which the lid of the box-type container (box) body is opened in advance to expose the mouthpiece of the synthetic resin dummy cigarette. This is what I did.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention forms a paper cigarette container body with the lid open, and includes a core material container made of plastic or the like having a shape approximately equal to that of the container body. At the same time, the mouthpiece of the dummy cigarette body, which is arranged in a predetermined number from which a plurality of cigarettes made of the same member attached to one end of the core material container can be protruded, is exposed by at least a predetermined amount from the sleeve position of the outlet. It is what it is.

<Function> Due to the above-mentioned configuration, in the assembly and setting work of this dummy cigarette box, the core material container is first inserted from the bottom of the cigarette container body which has been assembled into a box in advance.
Simply insert the cigarette end from the side of the cigarette end that is fitted onto one end of the core container, and push the guide bottom plate of the core container until it abuts against the corner of the lid of the cigarette container body. A predetermined amount of the cigarette box is exposed from the take-out opening, making it easy to use as a dummy cigarette box. The dummy cigarette box in this state may be displayed in a vending machine or a store case. This dummy cigarette box is made up of a core material container that becomes a hard case inside, so the box itself has tension as if it were stuffed with cigarettes inside, so it does not collapse or deform, and there is no exposed cigarette butt. The parts are also made of plastic, so they won't get sunburned or deformed.

<Example> Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on the drawings of the example.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a paper cigarette container main body in which a cover 2 is formed in a linearly open state;
A sleeve 4 is arranged on the edge of the mouth. Reference numeral 5 denotes a plastic core container having an outer shape that is approximately the same size as the tobacco container main body 1, and the core container 5 is composed of a lid portion 5b that is pin-fitted with a body portion 5a, and has a tip integrally formed on the lower surface thereof. A mouthpiece locking pin 7 is provided at the base of a guide lower plate part 6 having a length that reaches the inner corner of the lid part 2 of the cigarette container body 1. Reference numeral 8 denotes the mouthpiece of a dummy cigarette body made of plastic similar to the above, and the mouthpiece 8 is used to pack cigarettes into the cigarette container body 1 in units of one row (for a pack of 20 cigarettes, 7, 7,
In this case, in the mouthpiece 8 of the uppermost sheet material 9, a plurality of fibers (in the illustration, two ) is formed to protrude slightly. These three sheet materials 9 have a structure in which support pins 10 and pin receiving holes 11 are appropriately arranged, and they are sequentially fitted and stacked.
In addition, a pin receiving hole 11 drilled in the lowermost sheet material 9 is fitted into and fixed to the locking pin 7 of the guide lower plate portion 6.

To explain this function, first, when assembling the dummy cigarette box, open the bottom 1a of the cigarette container main body 1, and open the core container 5 with the mouthpiece 8 of the dummy cigarette main body set in advance in front of this opening 1b.
Insert it from the lower guide plate part 6. In this case, since the length l, which is the sum of the core container 5 and the lower guide plate 6, is set equal to the length of the tobacco container body 1 that reaches the lid 2, this insertion operation is simply a matter of the guide. It is sufficient to push the bottom plate part 6 into the lid part 2 until it comes into contact with the inner wall of the lid part 2. After that, the bottom part 1a is closed and properly bonded to form the dummy cigarette box 12. In addition, when attaching the mouthpiece 8 to the core material container 5, a block 8A, which is formed by sequentially overlapping three sheet materials 9 such that the support pins 10 and pin receiving holes 11 fit into each other, is guided. What is necessary is to fit it into the locking pin 7 of the lower surface plate part 6.

In this way, the mouthpiece 8 inserted into the cigarette container main body 1 is exposed by a predetermined amount (length) from the sleeve 4 of the outlet 3. In the figure, reference numeral 13 denotes a stabilizing contact piece protruding from the end of the sheet material 9.

<Effects of the invention> As mentioned above, the dummy cigarette box of the present invention has a structure in which the cigarette container main body and the core container with the mouthpiece that fits into the cigarette container body are combined. By simply inserting it, the lower guide plate at the end of the core container comes into contact with the inner corner of the open lid, and the mouthpiece is automatically exposed by a predetermined amount from the end of the sleeve, making the setting process easier. In addition, this mouthpiece is molded into a sheet material that serves as a packing arrangement unit, and the sheet material is stacked to form a block shape, which not only makes processing the mouthpiece easier, but also makes it easier to set it in the container body. The clogged appearance looks like one lined up, making it perfect as a dummy. Furthermore, since this mouthpiece has a structure in which several cigarettes are slightly protruding, it is possible to see at a glance what kind of cigarettes are packed when displayed.
Moreover, since the core container is double-fitted into the container body made of decorative paper, the container does not lose its shape when exposed to sunburn, dryness, etc. during display. Note that the predetermined number of mouthpieces may be formed by directly cutting a single plastic block, if necessary.
