Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a cigarette extinguisher that is portable, convenient to carry, and easy to use.

Finding a safe and convenient way to extinguish a cigarette remains a difficult problem for smokers. Cocktail party-goers, theatergoers, campers, and more are all realizing how convenient and convenient it is to have a compact, safe, clean, disposable device for extinguishing cigarettes. I've known this for a while.

However, the invention disclosed herein eliminates the risk of fire and the unpleasant odor normally associated with extinguished cigarettes, and safely disposes of extinguished cigarettes without polluting the environment. This is what I am trying to do.

The object of the invention is to provide a very compact disposable cigarette extinguisher.

Another object of the invention is that it can be manufactured very inexpensively;
Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to provide a cigarette extinguisher that has an excellent appearance and can display advertising means, for example.

Another object of the invention is to provide a disposable pouch in the form of a metal foil pouch, open on one side, configured to contain a lit cigarette and extinguish the cigarette. To provide a cigarette extinguisher.

Other objects of the invention will be understood from the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings.

A pouch 10 in the shape of a rectangular envelope with an open top 12
are shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

Note that FIG. 1 is a plan view, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view. The envelope-shaped pouch 10 is sealed on both sides and at the bottom seam 14 and is made of gold foil.

The cigarette extinguisher shown in Figure 3 is a box of Cheeve 16.
It has a preformed bottom 18 and an open top 20.

Next, the cigarette eraser shown in FIG. 4 is made of foil in the shape of a pyramid 22, and the bottom portion 24 of the pyramid is open. FIG. 5 shows a state in which an extinguished cigarette 28 is wrapped in an envelope-shaped pouch 26 after smoking.

The results of experiments using the disposable cigarette extinguisher according to the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings (reference number 10.16.22).
When placed inside a foil pouch (as shown by ), it was found that the fire could be extinguished very quickly. You can extinguish a cigarette within a few seconds, and you can completely extinguish it without even pressing the burning part of the cigarette into the bottom of the pouch.

The ability to extinguish cigarettes quickly in the pouch was initially hypothesized to be a result of lack of oxygen. After putting in a lit cigarette, the end of the pouch is still open, and the side of the pouch is still open. A variety of experiments were conducted to find out why it could be erased so quickly.

In addition, a specialized engineer undertook these experiments on behalf of the inventor, and as a result of the example experiments, it was found that the fact that a cigarette goes out inside a foil pouch is due to a lack of oxygen inside the pouch. The hypothesis was that rather than extinguishing the flame, it was due to the rapid heat release caused by the contact of the metal foil side of the pouch with the lit end of the cigarette. In order to prove this hypothesis, the expert engineer conducted the following experiment, and the outline of this experiment is as follows.

Purpose: By using the foil pouch designed by the present inventor, the fire can be extinguished quickly due to contact with the lit end of the cigarette at many points on the side of the foil pouch. The purpose was to conduct an experiment that would conclusively demonstrate that this is due to heat release.

Method A stopwatch was used to measure the time to extinguish a lit cigarette placed in a foil pouch of various shapes as described above, provided by the inventor. From the moment a lit cigarette is inserted, to the point at which the cigarette flame is completely extinguished, as confirmed by no feeling of high temperature when the experimenter puts the lit end of the cigarette inside the pouch against the experimenter's palm. The time elapsed was measured in seconds.

(a) 4. Made of foil shown in reference numeral 10.
The time it took to extinguish the fire inside the house was measured. This time was used as the reference time for other experiments.

(b) Next, we will introduce a dense plastic pouch that has the same oxygen blocking properties as the foil pouch of the present invention, but lacks the "'burn absorption" properties of the inventor's foil pouch. At the same time, the time was measured for cigarettes placed inside the cigarette.

(c) A foil pouch was then used with the bottom removed to allow oxygen to be delivered to the lit end of the cigarette after the cigarette was placed inside the pouch.

(d) Following experiment (C), a foil Cheap was placed over the end of the lit cigarette at room temperature and slowly slid to the end with the flare. When the foil reached the lit end, the cigarette flame went out quickly, which could be assumed that heat release was the cause of the cigarette extinguishing.

According to the basic laws of thermodynamics, the rate at which heat is transferred is proportional to the temperature difference between the heat source and the heat absorber. therefore,
By varying the temperature of the heat absorber, it will be possible to demonstrate that heat release is a factor governing the time required to extinguish a cigarette.

(e) 17γC (350°F) using an oven.
Time was measured for a series of foil pouches heated to .

(f+ Next, in the household refrigerator - 18°C (0°
Time was measured for a series of foil pouches cooled to F).

(g) Finally, the time it took for the flame to go out was measured with the pouch spread wide and the cigarette touching only one inner wall.

Conclusion (a) By using the inventor's foil pouch, it is possible to extinguish a cigarette quickly.

(b) A dense paper pouch could not extinguish a cigarette, even when excluding oxygen.

Therefore, it can be concluded that the endothermic properties of foil pouches are the main factor determining the cigarette extinguishing properties.

(C) Since cigarettes can be extinguished even in bottomless pouches, it can be concluded that oxygen deprivation is not a factor that determines the ability of cigarettes to extinguish cigarettes.

(d) Similarly, it has been clearly established that fires can be extinguished with foil chives by releasing heat more quickly than by depriving them of oxygen.

(e) The time it takes for a fire to go out is significantly longer when using a high temperature pouch compared to a low temperature pouch, so allowing heat to escape from the sides of the foil influences the time it takes for the fire to go out. It was clearly confirmed that this was a major factor.

(f) Since it has been found that contact with only one side does not extinguish a fire, it is important to note that the rate of heat release is the main factor determining the time it takes for a fire to go out, and that contact on both sides does not extinguish the fire. It was clearly confirmed that this was the decisive factor in extinguishing a cigarette quickly.

General Conclusion The ability of the inventor's pouch to extinguish a cigarette quickly is due to the rapid release of heat from the lit cigarette to both sides of the foil of the pouch.
It's not because of lack of oxygen.

An important design feature is that the closed side of the pouch is designed to allow multiple points of contact with the lit part of the cigarette, allowing it to escape from the lit cigarette. By rejecting more heat than is supplied, the cigarette can be extinguished quickly.

In this way, a safe and easy-to-use cigarette extinguisher that could extinguish cigarettes and conveniently dispose of it was created.

The above description merely exemplifies preferred embodiments of the present invention, and it is understood that changes and modifications may be made to the present invention as appropriate without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the claims. 0. Not even big enough.
