Description
- (a) Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a cigarette box structure, and more particularly to a cigarette box structure capable of receiving cigarette butts.
- (b) Description of the Prior Art
- After smoking, smokers may discard the cigarette butts anywhere or into a gutter if there is no cigarette butt receptacle. This will pollute the environment or block the gutter. The cigarette butt is made of cellulose acetate or polypropylene which is a macromolecule material difficult to dissolve and will create poisonous garbage and environmental pollution. How to deal with the cigarette butts becomes an important issue. Accordingly, the present invention is intended to provide a cigarette box structure capable of receiving cigarette butts for solving the problem mentioned above.
- The primary object of the present invention is to provide a cigarette box structure capable of receiving cigarette butts. The cigarette box structure comprises a cigarette box, a cigarette butt receiving box and a cigarette butt separator. The cigarette butt receiving box is received in the cigarette box and has a plurality of separate rooms in different sizes. The cigarette butt separator is disposed at an inner side of a box cover of the cigarette box. The cigarette butt receiving box and the other remaining inner space of the cigarette box are adapted to accommodate cigarettes. The separate rooms of the cigarette butt receiving box are adapted to receive the cigarette butts after the cigarettes are taken out for use. The cigarette butt separator mates with the cigarette butt receiving box to provide a seal effect when the box cover of the cigarette box is closed. Thus, the cigarette butts won't be discarded everywhere to cause pollution.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a cigarette box structure capable of receiving cigarette butts, wherein the cigarette butt separator is a triangular and hollow seat. The cigarette butt separator comprises at least one spacer corresponding to the separate rooms of the cigarette butt receiving box, so that the separate rooms can be respectively separated to protect the cigarettes not used.
- A further object of the present invention is to provide a cigarette box structure capable of receiving cigarette butts, wherein the cigarette box can use a conventional cigarette box to receive the cigarette butt receiving box therein. There is no need to change the size of the cigarette box. After all the cigarettes are placed in the cigarettes, the size and appearance of the cigarette box of the present invention is identical to the conventional cigarette box. The configuration of the present invention is simple the cost is low. The present invention can be used easily and conveniently.
-
FIG. 1 is an exploded view according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 3 is a top view according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention when the box cover is opened; -
FIG. 4 is a perspective view according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention when the box cover is closed; -
FIG. 5 is a partial sectional view according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention when the box cover is closed; -
FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing the present invention used to receive the cigarette butts; and -
FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the cigarette butt separator for the cigarette box structure of the present invention. - Embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
- As shown in
FIG. 1 toFIG. 3 , the cigarette box structure capable of receiving cigarette butts according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises acigarette box 1, a cigarettebutt receiving box 2 and acigarette butt separator 3. - The
cigarette box 1 can be a conventional cigarette box comprising abox body 11 and anintegral box cover 12. - The cigarette
butt receiving box 2 is smaller than thecigarette box 1 and received in thecigarette box 1 to accommodate a plurality ofcigarettes 4. Thecigarette butts 41 of thecigarettes 4 are exposed out of thebox body 11 of thecigarette box 1. The cigarettebutt receiving box 2 has a plurality ofseparate rooms cigarettes 4, as shown inFIG. 2 andFIG. 3 . - The
cigarette butt separator 3 is a triangular and hollow seat disposed at an inner side of thebox cover 12. When thebox cover 12 of thecigarette box 1 is closed, thecigarette butt separator 3 will mate with the cigarettebutt receiving box 2 to provide a sealing effect, as shown inFIG. 4 andFIG. 5 . Thecigarette butt separator 3 comprises at least onespacer 31 corresponding to theseparate rooms butt receiving box 2, so that theseparate rooms - The
separate rooms butt receiving box 2 and the other remaining inner space of thecigarette box 1 are adapted to accommodate thecigarettes 4. Thecigarettes 4 in the cigarettebutt receiving box 2 are first selected for use. After smoking, thecigarette butts 41 are placed into theseparate room butt receiving box 2, as shown inFIG. 6 . In this way, thecigarette butts 41 can be collected, rather than discarded everywhere to pollute the environment. When thebox cover 12 of thecigarette box 1 is closed, thecigarette butt separator 3 will mate with the cigarettebutt receiving box 2 to provide a sealing effect, preventing theother cigarettes 4 not used from pollution. -
FIG. 7 shows another embodiment of thecigarette butt separator 3 a. Thecigarette butt separator 3 a doesn't have the spacer and is a triangular and hollow seat to cover the cigarettebutt receiving box 2 so that the cigarettebutt receiving box 2 can be separated and sealed. - The
aforesaid cigarette box 1 can use a conventional cigarette box to receive the cigarettebutt receiving box 2 therein. There is no need to change the size of thecigarette box 1. After all thecigarettes 4 are placed in thecigarettes box 1, the size and appearance of thecigarette box 1 of the present invention is identical to the conventional cigarette box. - To practice the present invention, the cigarette box can be provided with a layer of tinfoil to protect the
cigarettes 4. The layer of tinfoil is in the prior art and won't be described hereinafter. Preferably, the cigarettebutt receiving box 2 is located at a front side of thecigarette box 1, as shown inFIG. 2 , because the user is used to getting thecigarette 4 at the outer end first. When thefirst cigarette 4 is taken out, theseparate room 21 is empty to receive thecigarette butt 41. After theother cigarettes 4 are sequentially taken out, the otherseparate rooms cigarette butts 41. The configuration of the present invention is simple and the cost is low. The present invention can be used easily and conveniently. - Although particular embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the present invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
