Combustion residue container for carbon heat source in rod tobacco articles, cigarette butt container and package for rod tobacco articles

The present invention relates to a combustion residue container for a carbon heat source in a rod-shaped tobacco article, a cigarette butt container, and a package for a rod-shaped tobacco article.

In recent years, there has been developed a non-combustible stick-shaped tobacco article which can taste the flavor of tobacco without burning the tobacco leaves. For example, a non-combustion type smoking article is known which comprises a heat source belonging to a heat generating member attached to the front end and a flavor generating material for holding the flavor component on a suitable substrate, and does not cause heat by burning the heat source. The aroma producing material is heated while being burned, and an aerosol containing the aroma component is generated. As for the heat source installed at the front end of the non-combustion type tobacco tobacco article, a carbon heat source formed into a cylindrical shape is often used. For example, a carbon heat source can be obtained by molding a mixture containing high-purity carbon particles, a nonflammable additive, an organic or inorganic binder, and water.

Rod-shaped tobacco articles with a carbon heat source are only combusted by a carbon heat source It burns, so it won't be as short as a normal cigarette at the end of smoking. Therefore, in the case of the cigarette butt of the stick-shaped tobacco article after smoking, in the conventional pocket type cigarette butt receptacle, there is a possibility that the capacity becomes insufficient and it is difficult to discard the cigarette butt.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a technique for appropriately treating a combustion residue of a carbon heat source in a rod-shaped tobacco article, thereby facilitating easy selection of a rod-shaped tobacco article. The combustion residue of the carbon heat source discarded by the cigarette butt.

The combustion residue container of the carbon heat source of the present invention has the following constitution in order to solve the above problems. That is, the present invention is a combustion residue container for a carbon heat source in a rod-shaped tobacco article, the rod-shaped tobacco article being provided with a cylindrical carbon heat source on a front end side of a rod-shaped body portion for accommodating the tobacco material, and the burning The residue storage container includes: an insertion portion having an insertion port into which a combustion residue of the carbon heat source is inserted, and an insertion port connected thereto An inner peripheral wall provided with a heat dissipation property for folding the combustion residue of the carbon heat source from the rod-shaped main body portion; and a heat-resistant accommodating portion which is successively provided in the insertion portion and is housed by the inner portion a combustion residue of the carbon heat source obtained by the peripheral wall; the inner peripheral wall has a combustion residue base end abutting portion, and the rod-shaped body portion is performed in a state in which the combustion residue of the carbon heat source is inserted from the insertion port a tilting operation abutting against a base end side of the combustion residue of the carbon heat source; and a combustion residue front end abutting portion provided on a side opposite to the burning residue base end abutting portion in a cross section of the insertion portion And abutting against the front end side of the combustion residue of the carbon heat source.

According to the invention, after the smoking of the rod-shaped tobacco article, the combustion residue of the carbon heat source is inserted from the insertion opening in the insertion portion, and the pouring operation of the rod-shaped main body portion is performed, whereby the combustion residue of the inner peripheral wall in the insertion portion is made. The base end abutting portion abuts against the base end side of the carbon heat source, and the combustion residue front end abutting portion of the inner peripheral wall abuts against the front end side of the carbon heat source. As a result, the moment (torque) generated by the tilting operation of the rod-shaped body portion acts on the base end portion of the carbon heat source that abuts against the abutment portion of the combustion residue base end of the inner peripheral wall, and can be appropriately obtained from the rod-shaped body. The part is taken from the combustion residue of the carbon heat source.

As described above, according to the combustion residue container of the present invention, the combustion residue of the carbon heat source can be appropriately folded from the rod-shaped main body portion by the inner peripheral wall of the insertion portion, and the combustion residue of the carbon heat source obtained can be obtained. It is dropped and stored in the storage part provided in the insertion part successively. As described above, since the combustion residue of the carbon heat source can be separated from the rod-shaped main body portion and processed, the shortage of the capacity in the storage portion is less likely to occur. In addition, the removal of the carbon heat source The rod-shaped body portion after burning the residue can be directly discarded. That is, the combustion residue container according to the present invention can contribute to easy disposal of the tobacco stalk of the rod-shaped tobacco article. Further, according to the present invention, after the smoking of the rod-shaped tobacco article, the combustion residue of the carbon heat source can be treated without performing the quenching action of the combustion residue of the carbon heat source. For example, when the combustion residue of the carbon heat source is to be quenched, since the external force acts in the direction of pushing the combustion residue of the carbon heat source toward the rod-shaped body portion, it is expected that the combustion residue of the carbon heat source will be pushed into the rod-shaped body portion. Internal, and difficult to extinguish. On the other hand, according to the present invention, since the combustion residue of the carbon heat source is taken up from the rod-shaped main body portion by burning the insertion portion of the residue container, it is more difficult to occur when the combustion residue of the carbon heat source is used. Bad condition when the structure is extinguished.

Furthermore, in the invention, the inner peripheral wall and the accommodating portion may have heat resistance. According to the above configuration, it is possible to suppress damage to the insertion portion or the storage portion due to heat retained by the combustion residue of the carbon heat source.

Further, in the combustion residue container, the cross section of the insertion portion from the center of the cross section of the insertion portion to the combustion residue base end abutting portion and the combustion residue distal end abutting portion in the inner peripheral wall The distances in the cross-sectional direction may also be substantially equal to the radius of the carbon heat source. Thereby, in a state where the combustion residue of the carbon heat source is inserted from the insertion port in the insertion portion, the combustion residue base end abutment portion of the inner peripheral wall of the insertion portion and the portion on the proximal end side of the carbon heat source can be interposed. The gap between the gap and the combustion residue front end abutting portion of the inner peripheral wall and the portion on the front end side of the carbon heat source becomes zero or smaller. Therefore, after the moment of the tilting operation of the rod-shaped main body portion from this state, the moment (torque) can be applied to the combustion residue of the carbon heat source. The base end portion can easily and quickly fold the combustion residue of the carbon heat source from the rod-shaped body portion. That is, it is possible to provide a combustion residue container which is easy for the user to fold the combustion residue of the carbon heat source from the rod-shaped main body portion and which is convenient.

Furthermore, in the present invention, the axial length of the inner peripheral wall may be equal to or longer than the axial direction of the carbon heat source. According to the configuration described above, when the rod-shaped main body portion is tilted while the combustion residue of the carbon heat source is inserted into the insertion portion, the combustion residue of the carbon heat source can be more easily obtained from the rod-shaped main body portion.

Furthermore, in the invention, the diameter of the rod-shaped main body portion may be larger than the diameter of the carbon heat source, and the inner diameter of the insertion port may be larger than a diameter of the carbon heat source and smaller than a diameter of the rod-shaped main body portion. In the rod-shaped tobacco article having the above configuration, the rod-shaped main body portion has a larger diameter than the carbon heat source, and a step surface is formed at a boundary portion between the carbon heat source and the rod-shaped main body portion. Typically, the step surface is a surface parallel to the front end surface of the carbon heat source, and is disposed along a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the rod-shaped body portion and the carbon heat source.

Furthermore, by defining the inner diameter of the insertion port in the combustion residue container of the carbon heat source to be larger than the diameter of the carbon heat source and smaller than the diameter of the rod-shaped body portion, the combustion residue of the carbon heat source is realized. The smooth insertion of the insertion portion and the insertion of the rod-shaped body portion into the insertion portion can be suppressed. For example, when the entire surface of the combustion residue of the carbon heat source is housed in the accommodating portion, the stepped surface formed at the boundary portion between the carbon heat source and the rod-shaped main body portion is brought into contact with the end surface of the insertion port, whereby the rod-shaped tobacco can be easily obtained. The item is positioned in a combustion residue container. According to this configuration, when the combustion residue of the carbon heat source is inserted into the insertion portion of the combustion residue container, it is possible to suppress even the rod shape due to the residual potential. The case where the body portion is inserted into the insertion portion. Therefore, the user can insert the combustion residue of the carbon heat source into the insertion portion without paying too much attention to detail. Furthermore, by abutting the step surface formed at the boundary portion between the carbon heat source and the rod-shaped body portion against the end surface of the insertion port, the user can simply perceive (master) the insertion of the carbon heat source into the entire body. Inserted into the department. The user can use this as an opportunity to stop the insertion of the carbon heat source, so the convenience is very good.

Furthermore, in the invention, the inner peripheral wall may have a cylindrical shape, and an inner diameter of the insertion opening may be substantially equal to a diameter of the carbon heat source. According to the above configuration, even if the rod-shaped main body portion is tilted in either direction, the moment (torque) can be applied to the base end portion of the combustion residue of the carbon heat source, and immediately after the start of the pouring operation of the rod-shaped main body portion The torque (torque) can be applied to the base end of the combustion residue of the carbon heat source. As a result, the user can easily and quickly fold the combustion residue of the carbon heat source from the rod-shaped body portion.

Further, by setting the inner diameter of the insertion port in the combustion residue container to be substantially equal to the diameter of the carbon heat source, when the combustion residue of the carbon heat source is inserted into the insertion portion, the cylindrical shape can be made The inner peripheral wall is in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the combustion residue of the carbon heat source or the inner peripheral wall is brought close to the outer peripheral surface of the combustion residue of the carbon heat source, and the outer peripheral surface of the carbon heat source is covered by the inner peripheral wall. Thereby, even if there is a burning residue of the carbon heat source remaining in the flame, oxygen can be supplied to the carbon heat source by blocking or reducing. The combustion residue of the carbon heat source is extinguished.

Furthermore, in the present invention, the cover member that opens and closes the insertion opening can be detachably provided with respect to the insertion opening. By as above According to the configuration, it is possible to prevent the combustion residue of the carbon heat source stored in the accommodating portion, the ash, and the like from being discharged to the outside from the insertion port of the insertion portion that communicates with the accommodating portion.

Furthermore, the present invention can be specifically defined as a cigarette sump container having a accommodating portion for accommodating the combustion residue container of any of the above-described carbon heat sources and the aforementioned combustion residue of the carbon heat source. A rod-shaped body portion in a rod-shaped tobacco article.

Furthermore, the present invention may be specifically a package for a rod-shaped tobacco article having a storage box for accommodating a rod-shaped tobacco article, the rod-shaped tobacco article being provided with a cylinder at a front end side of a rod-shaped body portion accommodating the tobacco material a carbon heat source, and the cigarette butt container is coupled to the storage box.

The cover member 17 has a disk shape, and the diameter (outer diameter) of the cover member 17 is set to be larger than the diameter of the insertion port 11 (the inner diameter of the inner cylinder 14) and equal to the inner diameter of the outer cylinder 15. size of. Therefore, when the tongue cover 320 is closed in a state in which the combustion residue container 10 is housed in a predetermined position in the cigarette holder accommodating portion 310 (in the example shown in FIG. 5(b), the left end position in the cigarette holder accommodating portion 310), The cover member 17 is fitted to the inner peripheral side of the outer cylinder 15. As a result, the cover member 17 covers the upper portion of the insertion opening 11 to close the insertion opening 11.

Further, since the diameter of the cover member 17 is larger than the diameter of the insertion port 11 (the inner diameter of the inner cylinder 14), the cover member 17 is fitted to the inner peripheral side of the inner cylinder 14 and cannot be taken out. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the diameter of the cover member 17 may be smaller than the diameter of the insertion port 11. In the present embodiment, since the cover member 17 is fixed to the inner surface of the tongue cover 320 in the cigarette butt holder 300, the cover can be suppressed even when the diameter of the cover member 17 is smaller than the diameter of the insertion opening 11. The member 17 is fitted into the inner cylinder 14 and cannot be taken out. Further, in the present embodiment, the thickness of the lid member 17 is set to 3 mm.

Further, the reference numeral 18 shown in FIGS. 6 to 8 is an inner peripheral wall (inner peripheral surface) of the inner cylinder 14 and constitutes a part of the insertion portion 20. In the combustion residue container 10 of the present embodiment, the length of the inner cylindrical body 14 in the axial direction (that is, the length of the inner peripheral wall 18 in the axial direction) is set as a carbon heat source inserted into the insertion portion 20 from the insertion port 11. 3 is longer than the length of the axial direction. In the present embodiment, the carbon heat source 3 in the rod-shaped tobacco article 1 The length is about 10 mm, whereas the length of the inner peripheral wall 18 is set to be 25 mm longer than the carbon heat source 3.

The combustion residue container 10 configured as described above has a function of simultaneously having the function of easily separating the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 in the rod-shaped tobacco article 1 from the used rod-shaped body portion 2; The function of accommodating the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 separated from the used rod-shaped main body portion 2 is used. Hereinafter, a method of using the combustion residue container 10 will be described.

Fig. 9 is a view for explaining a method of using the combustion residue container 10 of the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, the smoker can take out the bar-shaped tobacco article 1 of the new product from the storage box 200 by opening the lid portion 220 of the storage box 200 in the package 100 of the tobacco-shaped tobacco article, and smoking. . After the smoking of the rod-shaped tobacco article 1, the smoker deploys the butt receptacle 300 with respect to the storage box 200 as shown in Fig. 5(b), and opens the tongue cover 320 of the cigarette holder 300. From this state, as shown in Fig. 9(a), the rod-shaped tobacco article 1 after smoking is brought from the side of the carbon heat source 3 to the insertion port 11 of the combustion residue container 10, and the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 is removed. The insertion port 11 is inserted (plugged in) into the insertion portion 20.

Here, since the inner diameter of the insertion port 11 is adjusted to be slightly larger than the diameter of the carbon heat source 3, as shown in Fig. 10, the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 can be easily inserted from the insertion port 11 to The insertion portion 20 is inside. Further, since the inner diameter of the insertion opening 11 is smaller than the diameter (outer diameter) of the rod-shaped main body portion 2 (the covering material 6) in the rod-shaped tobacco article 1, the rod-shaped main body portion 2 is suppressed from the insertion opening. 11 is inserted into the insertion portion 20. So as the 10th As shown in the figure, in the state in which the end surface abuts against the upper end surface of the inner cylinder 14 formed around the insertion opening 11 before the used rod-shaped main body portion 2 (cladding material 6), the rod-shaped tobacco article 1 is given Positioning.

In the state in which the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 is inserted from the insertion port 11, the smoker performs a pouring operation of dumping the used rod-shaped main body portion 2 as shown in Fig. 9(b). Then, as shown in Fig. 11, the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 inserted into the insertion portion 20 is also tilted in the insertion portion 20 in accordance with the above-described tilting operation, so that the front end portion in the axial direction of the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 is formed. Both the 3b and the base end portion 3a collide with the inner peripheral wall 18 in the insertion portion 20 (the inner cylinder 14). The "combustion residue base end abutting portion" indicated by reference numeral 18a in the inner peripheral wall 18 corresponds to the combustion residue with the carbon heat source 3 during the pouring operation of the used rod-shaped main body portion 2. The base end side abuts the part. Further, the "burning residue front end abutting portion" indicated by the reference numeral 18b in the inner peripheral wall 18 corresponds to the carbon heat source 3 when the used bar-shaped main body portion 2 is tilted. The portion where the front end side of the combustion residue abuts.

In the combustion residue container 10, the combustion residue base end abutting portion 18a and the combustion residue front end abutting portion 18b of the inner peripheral wall 18 are disposed on opposite sides of each other in the cross section of the insertion portion 20. Fig. 12 is a view showing a cross section of the insertion portion 20 in the combustion residue container 10. Symbol C shows the center of the cross section of the insertion portion 20 and coincides with the central axis of the combustion residue container 10. The cross section of the insertion portion 20 is a cross section in a direction orthogonal to the central axis of the combustion residue container 10. As described above, the combustion residue base end abutting portion 18a of the inner peripheral wall 18 and the combustion residue front end abutting portion 18b are In the cross section of the insertion portion 20, they are located on opposite sides of each other. Here, the combustion residue base end abutting portion 18a and the combustion residue front end abutting portion 18b of the inner peripheral wall 18 are located on opposite sides of each other in the cross section of the insertion portion 20, and are referred to as burning in the cross section of the insertion portion 20. The angle θ between the residue base end abutting portion 18a and the cross-sectional center C line segment L1 and the line segment L2 connecting the combustion residue tip end abutting portion 18b and the cross-sectional center C is larger than 90° and smaller than 270°. .

For example, when the combustion residue base end abutting portion 18a is located at the point A shown in Fig. 12, and the combustion residue front end abutting portion 18b is located at the point B1, the angle θ 1 between the line segment L1 and the line segment L2 can be grasped as About 180°. Further, when the combustion residue base end abutting portion 18a is located at the point A shown in Fig. 12, and the combustion residue front end abutting portion 18b is located at the point B2, the angle θ 2 between the line segment L1 and the line segment L2' can be grasped. It is about 135°. Further, when the combustion residue base end abutting portion 18a is located at the point A shown in Fig. 12, and the combustion residue front end abutting portion 18b is located at the point B3, the angle θ 3 between the line segment L1 and the line segment L2" can be grasped. It is about 225. The combustion residue base end abutting portion 18a and the combustion residue front end abutting portion 18b of the inner peripheral wall 18 are all located on opposite sides of each other in the cross section of the insertion portion 20.

As a result of the tilting operation of the used rod-shaped main body portion 2, the combustion residue front end abutting portion 18b in the inner peripheral wall 18 abuts against the front end portion 3b of the carbon heat source 3 connected to the used rod-shaped main body portion 2. The combustion residue base end abutting portion 18a on the side opposite to the cross section of the combustion residue front end abutting portion 18b and the insertion portion 20 abuts against the base end portion 3a of the carbon heat source 3. As a result, the moment generated by the tilting operation of the used rod-shaped body portion 2 Since the (torque) acts on the base end portion 3a of the carbon heat source 3, the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 can be folded from the used rod-shaped body portion 2.

The combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 taken up from the used rod-shaped main body portion 2 in the insertion portion 20 of the combustion residue container 10 is dropped downward as shown in Fig. 13, and is housed in the insertion portion 20 The storage unit 30 is connected. In the example shown in Fig. 13, the state in which the combustion residues of the three carbon heat sources 3 are accommodated in the accommodating portion 30 of the combustion residue container 10 is exemplified.

As described above, according to the combustion residue container 10 of the present embodiment, the carbon heat source 3 can be appropriately folded from the used rod-shaped body portion 2 of the rod-shaped tobacco article 1 by the inner peripheral wall 18 of the insertion portion 20. The combustion residue is stored, and the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 that has been taken up is dropped to the storage portion 30 that is successively provided in the insertion portion 20 to be stored. As described above, since the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 can be separated and processed from the used rod-shaped main body portion 2, the shortage of the capacity in the storage portion 30 is less likely to occur.

Further, according to the combustion residue container 10 of the present embodiment, since the inner peripheral wall 18 of the insertion portion 20 has heat resistance, there is no possibility of melting due to the heat of the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3. Further, since the accommodating portion 30 in the combustion residue container 10 also has heat resistance, there is no possibility that the accommodating portion 30 is damaged by the heat of the combustion residue during storage of the carbon heat source 3.

Further, according to the combustion residue container 10 of the present embodiment, the inner peripheral radius of the inner peripheral wall 18 is set to a size equal to the radius of the carbon heat source 3 or a size slightly larger than the radius of the carbon heat source 3 in consideration of the gap. Knot The distance from the center of the cross section of the insertion portion 20 to the combustion residue base end abutting portion 18a and the combustion residue distal end abutting portion 18b in the cross-sectional direction is the same as the carbon heat source 3 The radii are approximately equal. By adopting such a configuration, when the used rod-shaped body portion 2 is tilted while the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 is inserted from the insertion port 11, the combustion residue base end abutting portion 18a and the carbon heat source can be used. The gap between the base end portions 3a of 3 becomes zero or smaller, and the gap between the combustion residue front end abutting portion 18b and the front end portion 3b of the carbon heat source 3 can be made zero or smaller. As a result, the moment (torque) can be applied to the base end portion 3a of the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 immediately after the start of the pouring operation of the used rod-shaped main body portion 2, and can be easily and quickly used from the used The rod-shaped body portion 2 folds the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3.

Here, from the viewpoint of facilitating the insertion ease of inserting the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 into the insertion portion 20 in the combustion residue container 10, and suppressing scattering of ash during insertion, it is preferable to make it The inner peripheral wall 18 has an inner diameter (diameter) larger than the diameter of the carbon heat source 3. However, when the difference between the diameter of the carbon heat source 3 and the inner diameter (diameter) of the inner peripheral wall 18 is excessively large, it is difficult to fold the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 during the pouring operation of the used rod-shaped main body portion 2. Hey. Therefore, when the inner diameter (diameter) of the inner peripheral wall 18 in the combustion residue container 10 is set to be larger than the diameter of the carbon heat source 3, it is preferable that the difference in size between the two is 2 mm or less, more preferably Set to 1mm or less. Thereby, the ease of insertion when the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 is inserted into the insertion portion 20 of the combustion residue container 10, the scattering of the ash during the insertion, and the pouring operation of the rod-shaped main body portion 2 can be realized at a high level. Carbon The ease of folding of the combustion residue of the heat source 3.

In particular, according to the combustion residue container 10 of the present embodiment, the inner peripheral wall 18 of the insertion portion 20 is formed into a cylindrical shape, and the inner diameter of the insertion port 11 is set to be substantially equal to the diameter of the carbon heat source 3. With the structure, even if the rod-shaped main body portion 2 is tilted in either direction, the moment (torque) can be applied to the base end portion of the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 immediately after the tilting operation of the rod-shaped main body portion 2 is started. Moreover, the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 can be easily folded from the used rod-shaped body portion 2. Thereby, it is possible to provide a combustion residue container 10 which is very convenient for the user.

Further, as described above, the carbon heat source 3 is used by adopting a configuration in which the inner peripheral wall 18 of the insertion portion 20 has a cylindrical shape and the inner diameter of the insertion port 11 is substantially equal to the diameter of the carbon heat source 3. When the combustion residue is inserted into the insertion portion 20, the cylindrical inner peripheral wall 18 can be brought into close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 or the inner peripheral wall 18 can be brought close to the outer peripheral surface of the carbon heat source 3. Relative configuration. Thereby, oxygen can be supplied to the carbon heat source 3 to be interrupted or reduced, and the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 can be extinguished. For example, by maintaining the state shown in Fig. 10 for several seconds (for example, about 5 seconds), the flame remaining in the carbon heat source 3 can be appropriately extinguished. In this manner, after the carbon heat source 3 is extinguished, it is preferable to fold the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 from the rod-shaped main body portion 2 by performing the tilting operation of the used rod-shaped main body portion 2 shown in Fig. 11 . .

Further, according to the combustion residue container 10 of the present embodiment, the inner diameter of the insertion port 11 is adjusted to be larger than the diameter of the carbon heat source 3 and Since the size of the rod-shaped main body portion 3 is smaller than the diameter of the rod-shaped main body portion 3, when the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 is inserted into the insertion portion 20 of the combustion residue container 10, it is possible to suppress the insertion of the rod-like main body portion 2 due to the residual potential. To the case of the insertion portion 20. That is, therefore, the user can insert the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 into the insertion portion 20 without paying too much attention to detail, and the front end surface of the rod-shaped body portion 2 abuts against the upper end surface of the inner cylinder body 14 The feeling is sensed, and the entirety of the carbon heat source 3 is inserted into the insertion portion 20. The user can use this as an opportunity to stop the insertion operation of the carbon heat source 3, so that the convenience is very good.

In addition, since the length of the inner peripheral wall 18 is equal to or longer than the axial length of the carbon heat source 3 in the combustion residue container 10, the used rod-shaped body is used in a state where the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 is inserted into the insertion portion 20. At the time of the pouring operation of the portion 2, the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 can be more easily folded from the rod-shaped main body portion 2. Further, since the combustion residue container 10 has the inner diameter of the outer cylinder 15 set to be larger than the inner diameter of the inner cylinder 14 (that is, the inner diameter of the insertion port 11), the combustion of the carbon heat source 3 is performed. When the residue is inserted into the insertion portion 20 from the insertion port 11, the guide member for guiding the carbon heat source 3 to the insertion port 11 can be suitably used. Thereby, the user can easily insert the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 into the insertion port 11.

However, the shape of the outer cylinder 15 used as the guide member for inducing the carbon heat source 3 to the insertion port 11 is not limited to the configuration shown in Fig. 6 and the like, and various shapes may be employed. For example, a vertical surface perpendicular to the axial direction of the combustion residue container 10 may not be formed at the boundary portion between the outer cylinder 15 and the inner cylinder 14, and a modification of the outer cylinder 15 shown in Fig. 14 may be employed, for example. In the example shown in Figure 14, the outer cylinder 15 is When the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 is inserted into the insertion portion 20, the front end portion 3b of the carbon heat source 3 slides on the guide surface 15a, so that it is easily induced to the insertion port 11. Further, by abutting the front end surface of the rod-shaped main body portion 2 in the middle or the lower end portion of the guide surface 15a, it is possible to suppress the insertion of the rod-shaped main body portion 2 into the insertion portion 20 due to the remaining force, and it is possible to The tobacco article 1 is positioned.

Further, as in the modification of the insertion portion 20 shown in Fig. 15, the inner diameter of the inner peripheral wall 18 of the insertion portion 20 may be increased in diameter in the middle of the longitudinal direction of the inner peripheral wall 18. In the modification shown in Fig. 15, the inner diameter of the inner peripheral wall 18 is one turn larger at the position indicated by the symbol D1. Here, the depth indicated by D1 is the depth at which the end portion 3b of the carbon heat source 3 is located when the carbon heat source 3 is inserted into the insertion portion 20, and is hereinafter referred to as "the depth of the front end of the carbon heat source at the time of insertion". In the present modification, the inner diameter of the inner peripheral wall 18 is designed to be substantially equal to the diameter of the carbon heat source 3 in the first section Z1 closer to the insertion port 11 side than the depth D1 of the carbon heat source at the time of insertion of the insertion portion 20. On the other hand, in the second section Z2 which is closer to the inner side than the carbon heat source front end depth D1 at the time of insertion in the insertion portion 20, the gap with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the carbon heat source 3 is made larger than the first section Z1. Thereby, in the first section Z1 of the insertion portion 20, the inner diameter of the inner peripheral wall 18 is made substantially equal to the diameter of the carbon heat source 3, and the cigarette butt of the carbon heat source 3 can be easily taken. Further, in the second section Z2 of the insertion portion 20, since the inner diameter of the inner peripheral wall 18 is made larger than the first section Z1, the cigarette butt of the carbon heat source 3 folded in the first section Z1 is not blocked. In the second section Z2, the cigarette butt of the carbon heat source 3 can be smoothly dropped to the accommodating portion 30 below.

Further, the insertion portion 20 of the combustion residue container 10 can adopt various modifications. For example, in the combustion residue container 10 of the modification shown in Fig. 16, the insertion portion 20 has the guide wall 21 provided at the upper portion of the insertion port 11. Further, the symbol 11a constitutes a U-shaped edge portion of a portion of the insertion opening 11, and is disposed at a position opposed to the guide wall 21. Further, the symbol 21a is an upper edge portion of the guide wall 21. The U-shaped edge portion 11a is provided at a position lower than the upper end edge portion 21a of the guide wall 21. Further, as shown in Fig. 16, the inner peripheral wall 18 of the insertion portion 20 includes a combustion residue proximal end abutting portion 18a and a combustion residue distal end abutting portion 18b which are located on opposite sides of each other in the transverse cross section of the insertion portion 20. In the example shown in Fig. 16, a combustion residue base end abutting portion 18a is formed in the vicinity of the U-shaped edge portion 11a, and is formed at a position facing the guide wall 21 in the cross section of the insertion portion 20. On the other hand, the combustion residue distal end abutting portion 18b is provided at a position deeper than the combustion residue proximal end abutting portion 18a, and is formed at a position facing the combustion residue proximal end abutting portion 18a.

In the combustion residue container 10 shown in Fig. 16, after the smoking of the rod-shaped tobacco article 1, the cigarette butt of the carbon heat source 3 is slid along the guide wall 21 toward the insertion port 11, and the cigarette butt is smoothly guided. Lead to the insertion port 11. Then, in a state where the cigarette butt of the carbon heat source 3 is inserted into the insertion portion 20, the used rod-shaped main body portion 2 is tilted from the guide wall 21 to the front side. Thereby, the combustion residue front end abutting portion 18b in the inner peripheral wall 18 abuts against the front end portion 3b of the carbon heat source 3, and the combustion residue base end abutting portion 18a abuts against the base end portion 3a of the carbon heat source 3 a moment (torque) generated by the pouring operation is applied to the base end of the carbon heat source 3 3a, the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 can be appropriately folded from the used rod-shaped main body portion 2 and processed.

Further, in the present embodiment, the used rod-shaped main body portion 2 after the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 is taken up can be directly discarded. As shown in Fig. 9(c), it can be directly accommodated in the cigarette butt holder 310 of the cigarette butt receptacle 300. The combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 in the rod-shaped tobacco article 1 can be appropriately treated according to the rod-shaped tobacco article package 100 including the combustion residue container 10 and the cigarette stopper container 300 containing the combustion residue container 10. Thereby, it can be facilitated to easily discard the cigarette butts of the bar-shaped tobacco article 1.

Further, in the combustion residue container 10 of the present embodiment, the cover member 17 is detachably provided with respect to the insertion port 11. By this, it is possible to prevent the combustion residue and ash of the carbon heat source 3 stored in the accommodating portion 30 of the combustion residue container 10 from being discharged to the outside from the insertion port 11 of the insertion portion 20 that communicates with the accommodating portion 30. Further, by removing the cover member 17 from the insertion port 11, the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 accommodated in the accommodating portion 30 can be discarded in a batch. Further, a disposal cover member (not shown) may be detachably attached to the bottom portion 12 of the combustion residue container 10. By removing the disposal lid member, the combustion residue stored in the carbon heat source 3 of the storage unit 30 can be easily discarded without causing the combustion residue container 10 to be in the inverted posture.

In particular, as described in the fifth (a) and (b) of the fifth embodiment, in the present embodiment, the combustion residue container 10 is housed in the butt holder portion 310 of the cigarette butt receptacle 300, and the inner surface of the tongue cover 320 is provided. A cover member 17 is attached. Therefore, in conjunction with the closing operation of the tongue cover 320, the cover member 17 is embedded As a result of the inner peripheral side of the outer cylinder 15 in the combustion residue container 10, the insertion port 11 can be closed. Further, in conjunction with the opening operation of the tongue cover 320, the insertion opening 11 can be opened as a result of releasing the fitting of the cover member 17 with respect to the outer cylinder 15.

Here, Fig. 17 is a view showing a process in which the tongue cover 320 of the cigarette butt receptacle 300 of the first embodiment is closed. Since the paper spring member 16 folded into the accordion shape is attached to the bottom portion 12 of the combustion residue container 10, the combustion residue container 10 accommodated in the cigarette butt holder 310 is constantly maintained by the repulsive force of the paper spring member 16. It is pushed upward (in the direction of the opening end of the cigarette butt holder 310).

When the tongue portion 321 of the tongue cover 320 is inserted into the slit 311 of the cigarette butt holder 310 from the state shown in Fig. 17 (a), and the tongue cover 320 is closed as shown in Fig. 17 (b), This action interlocks to lock the insertion port 11 by the cover member 17. At this time, the combustion residue container 10 is pushed in downward (in the direction of the bottom surface of the cigarette holder accommodating portion 310) by the tongue cover 320 and the lid member 17 fixed to the tongue cover 320. In other words, the combustion residue container 10 is pushed downward against the repulsive force of the paper spring member 16, whereby the paper spring member 16 is further reduced in comparison with the state of Fig. 17(a). As a result, in a state where the tongue cover 320 is closed, the insertion opening 11 of the combustion residue container 10 is pushed to the lid member 17 by the repulsive force of the paper spring member 16. Thereby, it is more difficult to discharge the combustion residue, ash, or the like of the carbon heat source 3 stored in the accommodating portion 30 of the combustion residue container 10 from the insertion port 11 to the outside.

In addition, in the present embodiment, it is attached to the cigarette butt receptacle 300. The cigarette butt storage unit 310 accommodates the combustion residue container 10 and hingesly connects the cigarette butt container 300 to the storage box 200. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The combustion residue container 10 can be used separately without being stored in a package or the like. When the combustion residue container 10 is used alone, the paper spring member 16 may not be attached to the bottom portion 12. Further, the cover member 17 of the combustion residue container 10 may be detachably provided with respect to the insertion port 11, and may be, for example, a screw type cover, or may be another type of cover. Further, the cover member 17 may be a cover member that is externally fitted to the outer surface of the outer cylindrical body 15. In the present embodiment, the storage portion 30 in the combustion residue container 10 is set to have the same diameter as the insertion portion 20, but the invention is not limited thereto. For example, the cross-sectional area of the accommodating portion 30 may be made larger than that of the insertion portion 20. Thereby, the storage volume in the accommodating portion 30 can be increased, and more combustion residues of the carbon heat source 3 can be accommodated in the accommodating portion 30.

Further, the combustion residue container 10 may be housed in the storage box 200 instead of the cigarette butt storage portion 310 housed in the cigarette holder 300. For example, Fig. 18 is a view showing a modification of the package accommodating the combustion residue container 10, and specifically, the storage box 200 described in the first embodiment. In the storage case 200, the combustion residue container 10 can be housed in the main body portion 210 together with the new bar-shaped tobacco article 1. At this time, the main body portion 210 accommodating the combustion residue container 10 corresponds to the accommodating portion in the present invention.

Further, in the combustion residue container 10 of the present embodiment, the inner peripheral wall 18 of the insertion portion 20 is formed into a cylindrical shape, and the inner diameter of the insertion port 11 is substantially equal to the diameter of the carbon heat source 3. Construction, but It is not limited to this. When the carbon heat source 3 is inserted into the insertion portion 20 of the combustion residue container 10, the tilting operation of the used rod-shaped main body portion 2 is performed, and the base end portion 3a and the front end portion of the carbon heat source 3 are respectively abutted. The combustion residue base end abutting portion 18a and the combustion residue distal end abutting portion 18b of 3b may be provided on the inner peripheral wall 18 of the insertion portion 20.

Fig. 19 is a view showing a modification of the inner peripheral wall 18 in the combustion residue container 10 of the first embodiment. In Fig. 19(a), the inner peripheral wall 18 has a square shape, and in Fig. 19(b), the inner peripheral wall 18 has a substantially elliptical shape, and in Fig. 19(c), the inner peripheral wall 18 has a triangular shape. . Further, in Fig. 19(d), a pair of protrusions 140 are provided in the cylindrical combustion residue container 10, and a portion of each of the protrusions is formed to be used to fold the carbon heat source from the used rod-shaped body portion 2. The inner peripheral wall 18 of the burning residue of 3. Further, the broken line shown in the drawing indicates the outer shape of the carbon heat source 3 inserted into the insertion portion 20. Further, the symbol C shows the center of the cross section of the insertion portion 20. Further, the symbol r1 shows the distance from the center C of the cross section of the insertion portion 20 to the combustion residue base end abutting portion 18a in the inner peripheral wall 18, and r2 shows the center C from the cross section of the insertion portion 20 to the inner peripheral wall 18. The distance from the front end abutting portion 18b of the combustion residue. Each of the modifications shown in Figs. 19(a) to 19(d) is such that the center of the cross section of the insertion portion 20 is from the center C of the cross section of the insertion portion 20 to the base portion abutment portion 18a of the combustion residue. The distance r1 and the distance r2 from the center C of the cross section to the front end contact portion 18b of the combustion residue are substantially equal to the radius of the carbon heat source 3. Thereby, when the pouring operation of the rod-shaped main body portion 2 is performed in a state where the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 is inserted from the insertion port 11, the moment (torque) can be applied to the combustion of the carbon heat source 3 The base end portion of the residue, and the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 can be appropriately folded from the rod-shaped body portion 2. Further, the modification shown in Fig. 19 exemplifies a change of the inner peripheral wall 18, and other shapes may be employed.

Further, in the rod-shaped tobacco article 1 of the above embodiment, the diameter of the rod-shaped main body portion 2 is set to be larger than the diameter of the carbon heat source 3, but the diameter of the carbon heat source 3 and the rod-shaped main body portion 2 are The diameter (outer diameter of the cladding material 6) may also be the same size. Even in this case, after the smoking of the rod-shaped tobacco article 1, the smoker can insert the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 connected to the used rod-shaped main body portion 2 into the insertion portion 20 of the combustion residue container 10. Further, the pouring operation of the rod-shaped main body portion 2 is performed, whereby the combustion residue of the carbon heat source 3 is easily taken up from the rod-shaped main body portion 2.

Further, when the diameter of the carbon heat source 3 in the rod-shaped tobacco article 1 and the diameter of the rod-shaped main body portion 2 (the outer diameter of the covering material 6) are the same diameter, as shown in Fig. 20, it is also possible to burn the residue container. Inside the 10, a stopper 19 that abuts against the front end portion 3b of the carbon heat source 3 is protruded from the inner peripheral wall 18 of the insertion portion 20.
