Description

The present invention relates to containers for re-use of already used snus and / or other kind of smokeless tobacco products. The invention is hereinafter called snus recycler.

Field of application

This invention relates to a lid for a snus box or a container that is used to dry already used snus, and then to be able to use the same snus again. The invention is used primarily to portion snus but can also be used for loose snus.

Known technology

Today, there are no similar invention, there are snus lids where you can put used snus and then throw the used snus away, but there are no snus lid or container where you can store using snus to dry and then reuse it.

Troubleshooting

The aim of the invention is to be able to use a snus more than once. By reusing a snus, you gain lower costs, because the snus lasts longer by using the same snus more than once. You also get less nicotine in your body, since some of the nicotine disappears the first time you take a snus.

Detailed description of the Invention

The invention, hereinafter called snus recycler, has the shape of a snus box lid (1) to be attached on a snus box and / or other kind of smokeless tobacco storage box, instead of the existing lid. Snus recycler consists of two parts, a larger lid (2) to be attached on a snus box instead of the snus box existing lid and a small lid (3), applied to the larger lid to contain snus.

The larger lid can be attached to the snus box as a regular snus box lid, by pressing the lid on to the snus box, and with the help of a rim (4) the lid will be fixed over the existing rim available on the snus box. You can also use other solutions to fix snus recycler on to the snus box.

In the larger lid is a storage space with compartments (5) where one can put their old snus and / or other kind of smokeless tobacco products. The compartments (5) and lid (2 & 3) has air holes (9 & 10) to dry the snus. The air holes may vary in size and shape, and may also be adjustable so that they can be closed if one wants to let less air in to the snus recycler. The bottom of the storage space in the larger lid can either be flat or a rippled formation (7), so that air also reaches snus from below.

The smaller lid (3) can be secured in the larger lid by means of a rim (6), the rim is pushed over a bump (8) in the larger ltd. You can also use other solutions to fix the smaller lid (3) in the larger lid (2).

Snus recycler can also be made in larger sizes and the storage space (5) can be designed differently to fit more snus and to improve the drying of the snus, such as in a row formation or in a round formation, with snus portions vertical or horizontal. Snus recycler can be round, square, or in another form to fit different types of snus boxes and / or other type of smokeless tobacco storage boxes or smokeless tobacco containers. Snus recycler can also be made in a larger format to be placed on a table and can be made of plastic, metal or other suitable material
