  • the container of figure 2 contains 5 cigarette extinguishing portions 202, each being cardboard/paper tubes that extend from the base of the container 102 up toward the opening of the container 102. Ease of access to the contents of the container 102 is heightened by the cut away portion 110.
  • a user In use, a user, having finished a cigarette, places the cigarette in the cardboard tube 202 and closes the lid portion 108 by inserting the tab 132 into the slotted aperture 134.
  • the container is then generally air tight (by virtue of the gluing procedure and the wings 130) and therefore the cigarette is starved of oxygen and thereby extinguishes within the cigarette extinguishing portion (the tube 202) .
  • a container made in accordance with the present invention provides a portable easy way to extinguish and store used cigarettes. Furthermore, the container is formed from a biodegradable material, thus providing a lower risk to the environment. Finally, when the container is full, it is possible to empty the cigarette portions and re-use the container.
  • the container 102 may contain a single tube 202.
  • a user when a user has finished their cigarette, it is placed in the tube 202 and the lid 108 closed. The cigarette then extinguishes by being starved of oxygen. When extinguished, a user may then remove the cigarette from the tube 202 and place into the main body of the container. In this manner, a user may be able to store many extinguished cigarettes in the main body of the container.
  • the container may have a heat-proof lining, such as clay, for example.
  • FIG. 3 there is shown an insert 302 for the container in an unfolded configuration.
  • the insert
  • each of the back section 304 and the front section 306 comprise five half round recesses 310 which, when folded together (as discussed below in relation to figure 4), define five tubes.
  • the recesses are tapered toward a bottom end 312 thereof so that the internal volume of the tubes 310 in the folded configuration are generally bullet shaped (cylindrical having a tapered end) .

  • the female closing portion 316 comprises a hook along the side edges of the front portion 306.
  • the hook 316 is operable to accommodate the rib 314 to provide a closely fitting folded unit as shown in figure 4.
  • the front portion 306 is shorter than the back portion 304, that is, the back section 304 extends higher than the front section 306.
  • the back portion 304 tapers slightly toward a lower end thereof (the end closest to the hinge 308) .
  • the insert 302 is molded from a paper pulp material.
  • the insert 302 is inserted into the container 102 and may be used to extinguish and store cigarettes.
  • the insert 302 is removable and reusable.
  • a small rectangular recess section 318 On a face of the front portion 306 opposite the recesses 310 is a small rectangular recess section 318. This recess allows movement of the tab 132 into the slot 134.
  • the slight taper in the back portion 304 allows the insert 302 to be easily inserted and removed from the container 102 without interfering with the folding mechanism at the bottom of the container.
  • the back portion 304 extends higher than the front portion 306 as discussed above. This feature allows a cigarette to be easily inserted into the tube 310 by locating the end of a cigarette into the recess on the back section 304 and sliding down the tube.
  • An insert made in accordance with the present invention allows a user to easily insert a cigarette thereinto. Also, the insert is formed from a pulp paper material so it is readily recyclable.
