The present invention relates to a package kit having a plurality of tobacco packages.

Cigarettes are smoked to gain personal satisfaction as a luxury item. In addition, tobacco is also used as a means of communication. Specifically, when a smoker smokes in a smoking area, various conversations are exchanged, and the smokers may become more intimate.

However, in recent years, smokers often smoke while using electronic devices such as mobile phones and smartphones, and there is less conversation between smokers during smoking. Also, smokers tend to concentrate on using electronic devices and forget to enjoy the taste of tobacco.

Also, when a smoker chooses a favorite cigarette, it is important to compare the tastes of multiple cigarettes. For this reason, tobacco samples are conventionally distributed to smokers by tobacco suppliers. However, since the cigarette brand and design are displayed on the package of the conventional tobacco sample, the smoker receives the taste and brand impression recalled from the brand and design. Try (tasting). In this case, it is difficult for the smoker to select a favorite cigarette based solely on the taste of the cigarette.

It is a perspective view which shows the further another example of the tobacco package which the package kit shown in FIG. 1 has. It is a perspective view which shows the further another example of the tobacco package which the package kit shown in FIG. 1 has.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings described below, the same or corresponding components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a package kit according to the present embodiment. As illustrated, the package kit 10 includes a plurality (five in the drawing) of cigarette packages 20, a pedestal 12 for arranging the cigarette packages 20, a plate 13 extending upward from an end of the pedestal 12, Have This package kit 10 is used, for example, for a plurality of people to try (tasting) a plurality of types of cigarettes and to select a brand (type) of cigarettes preferred by the smoker.

The tobacco package 20 accommodates different types of tobacco. On the other hand, as will be described later, the cigarette package 20 is configured so that the type of cigarette accommodated cannot be specified based on its appearance. In other words, the cigarette package 20 is designed so that it does not know what type of cigarette is contained from its appearance.

The cigarette accommodated in the cigarette package 20 is, for example, a cigarette wound on a plain paper so that the type of cigarette cannot be specified from its appearance. Moreover, the smoker who uses this package kit 10 tries each cigarette accommodated in each cigarette package 20. For this reason, it is preferable that the cigarette accommodated in each cigarette package 20 is about 75 mm or less which is shorter than usual. This shortens the time to smoke a single cigarette during a trial, allows you to try many types of cigarettes within a limited time, and allows you to select your favorite brands intuitively. Become.

The pedestal 12 is, for example, a substantially hexagonal plate-like body, and has a plurality of (five in the drawing) recesses 14 (corresponding to an example of an arrangement portion) in which each of the cigarette packages 20 is arranged. The recess 14 is provided along the circumferential direction of the base 12. The cigarette package 20 is disposed in the recess 14 so as to be inclined so that the upper part thereof faces the center of the base 12.

A symbol indicating the recess 14 to be disposed may be displayed on the outer surface of the tobacco package 20. For example, a number from 1 to 5 can be assigned to each recess 14, and a number from 1 to 5 can also be assigned to the outer surface of the tobacco package 20 to be placed in each recess 14. Thereby, after the smoker who uses this package kit 10 takes out the tobacco package 20 from the recess 14 and smokes it, the recess 14 in which the tobacco package 20 is to be placed is specified, and the tobacco package 20 is placed in the recess 14. It can be easily returned.

The plate 13 displays arbitrary information such as explanation of how to use the package kit 10 and explanation of tobacco brands of the tobacco package 20 arranged on the pedestal 12. On the other hand, information indicating which type of cigarette each cigarette package 20 contains is not displayed on the plate 13.

When a plurality of smokers use this package kit 10, first, each smoker arbitrarily selects each cigarette package 20, and tries each cigarette. As described above, each cigarette package 20 is configured such that the type of cigarette accommodated cannot be specified based on its appearance. Therefore, since no impressions such as taste and brand are recalled from the cigarette package 20, each smoker can select a favorite cigarette based only on the taste of the cigarette.

Smokers need to know the type (brand) of the cigarette they have selected after trying out the cigarettes in each cigarette package 20 and selecting their favorite cigarettes. For this reason, the tobacco package 20 has an information surface on which information for specifying the type of tobacco to be accommodated is displayed, as will be described in detail below.

2 and 3 are perspective views showing an example of the tobacco package 20 shown in FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the tobacco package 20 in a closed state, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the tobacco package 20 in an opened state.

2 and 3, the tobacco package 20 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape as a whole. The cigarette package 20 includes a main body portion 21 having a space for housing the cigarette and a lid portion 22 for closing the space. The main body portion 21 and the lid portion 22 are connected by a hinge portion 23 on the back side of the tobacco package 20. That is, the tobacco package 20 is a hinge lid type package.

As shown in FIG. 3, the main body 21 has an inner box 24 inside. The inner box 24 has an upper end connected to the lid part 22, and the inner box 24 is pulled upward by opening the lid part 22. The main body 21 has slits 25 on both side surfaces. In FIG. 3, one of the pair of slits 25 is shown. The lid portion 22 has locking portions 26 on both side surfaces. When the lid portion 22 is closed, the locking portion 26 enters the slit 25 and locks the lid portion 22 to the main body portion 21.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the lid portion 22 has a front portion 28, a side portion 29, and an upper portion 30. The front part 28 has a front wall part 28a and a rear wall part 28b, and a cavity is formed between the front wall part 28a and the rear wall part 28b. Similarly, the upper part 30 has an upper wall part 30a and a lower wall part 30b, and a cavity is formed between the upper wall part 30a and the lower wall part 30b.

As shown by broken lines in FIGS. 2 and 3, the cigarette package 20 is configured to be capable of supplying power to a plurality (three in the figure) of light emitting diodes 27 (corresponding to an example of a light source) and the light emitting diodes 27. A battery 31 (corresponding to an example of a power source) and a magnet 32. The light emitting diode 27 is disposed in the cavity between the front wall portion 28a and the rear wall portion 28b of the front portion 28. The battery 31 and the magnet 32 are disposed in a cavity between the upper wall portion 30a and the lower wall portion 30b of the upper portion 30.

The battery 31 is, for example, a small button battery. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and an arbitrary power source can be used. A positive electrode wiring 34 is electrically connected to the positive electrode side of the battery 31, and a negative electrode wiring 35 is electrically connected to the negative electrode side of the battery 31. A part of the positive electrode wiring 34 and the negative electrode wiring 35 is provided outside the cigarette package 20. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, part of the positive electrode wiring 34 and the negative electrode wiring 35 is provided on the upper surface of the upper wall portion 30 a of the lid portion 22. Other portions of the positive electrode wiring 34 and the negative electrode wiring 35 are accommodated in a cavity inside the lid portion 22 and are electrically connected to the battery 31.

The magnet 32 is disposed close to the positive electrode wiring 34 or the negative electrode wiring 35. In the example of FIGS. 2 and 3, the magnet 32 is disposed close to the negative electrode wiring 35 in the cavity between the upper wall portion 30 a and the lower wall portion 30 b of the upper portion 30.

The cigarette package 20 is configured such that the type of cigarette accommodated cannot be specified from its appearance. Specifically, no information specifying the type of cigarette accommodated is displayed on the outer surface of the cigarette package 20. In the illustrated example, the tobacco package 20 has a solid color (for example, white) and has a solid color. On the other hand, the cigarette package 20 has an information surface on which information specifying the type of cigarette to be stored is displayed at a position where it cannot be visually recognized from the outside of the cigarette package 20, for example, the inner surface of the cigarette package 20. Specifically, the type of cigarette accommodated in the tobacco package 20 is printed on the back surface (corresponding to an example of an information surface) of the front wall portion 28a of the front portion 28. By causing the light emitting diode 27 to emit light, the light from the light emitting diode 27 is transmitted through the front wall portion 28a, and the type of cigarette printed on the back surface of the front wall portion 28a is displayed on the surface of the front wall portion 28a. Thereby, the smoker can visually recognize the type of the cigarette package 20 selected by cigarettes.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the cigarette package 20 in a state where the light emitting diode 27 is caused to emit light. In order to cause the light emitting diode 27 to emit light, two cigarette packages 20 are required. The two tobacco packages 20 are arranged so that the upper surface portions of the upper wall portion 30a (see FIG. 2) are in contact with each other. At this time, the positive electrode wiring 34 of one cigarette package 20 and the negative electrode wiring 35 of the other cigarette package 20 are connected.

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing a circuit for supplying power to the light emitting diode 27. As illustrated, the circuit 60 is formed by connecting the positive electrode wiring 34 of one cigarette package 20 to the negative electrode wiring of the other cigarette package 20. The circuit 60 includes a resistor R1 provided in each cigarette package 20. The resistor R1 can prevent an overvoltage from being applied to the light emitting diode 27.

By forming the circuit 60, current flows from the two batteries 31 to the six light emitting diodes 27, and the light emitting diodes 27 emit light as shown in FIG. The tobacco brand printed on the back surface of the front wall portion 28a of the tobacco package 20 is displayed on the surface of the front wall portion 28a by the light of the light emitting diode 27. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the brand 41A of “brand A” is displayed on the surface of the front wall portion 28a of one tobacco package 20, and “brand B” is displayed on the surface of the front wall portion 28a of the other tobacco package 20. No. 41B is displayed.

When the upper surface portions of the upper wall portions 30a of the two cigarette packages 20 are to be brought into contact with each other, the magnet 32 (see FIGS. 2 and 3) provided in one cigarette package 20 is used as the positive electrode of the other cigarette package 20. The wiring 34 is attracted. Thereby, the cigarette packages 20 are attracted to each other so that the positive electrode wiring 34 of one cigarette package 20 and the negative electrode wiring 35 of the other cigarette package 20 are reliably connected. When the magnet 32 is disposed close to the positive electrode wiring 34 of the tobacco package 20 (for example, disposed at the position of the battery 31 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3), the one tobacco package 20 is disposed. The magnet 32 attracts the negative electrode wiring 35 of the other cigarette package 20.

As described above, the package kit 10 according to the present embodiment includes a plurality of cigarette packages 20 that accommodate different types of cigarettes. Thereby, since several smokers can try using the package kit 10 simultaneously, the place where smokers communicate can be provided.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the cigarette package 20 is configured so that the type of cigarette accommodated cannot be specified based on its appearance. Thereby, since the impression of a taste, a brand, etc. is not recalled from the cigarette package 20, the smoker can concentrate on the taste of the cigarette and can select a favorite cigarette based only on the taste of the cigarette.

As shown in FIG. 4, the cigarette package 20 has a cigarette brand accommodated on the back surface of the front wall portion 28 a of the front portion 28. The brand is displayed on the surface of the front wall portion 28a. Thereby, the smoker can visually recognize the brand of the cigarette package 20 selected by cigarettes.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, by using the two cigarette packages 20 to cause the light emitting diodes 27 to emit light, the smoker can visually recognize the cigarette brand selected by cigarettes. . That is, the smoker confirms the cigarette brand he / she has selected using the cigarette package 20 selected by another smoker. For this reason, the smoker has to borrow the cigarette package 20 selected by another smoker in order to confirm the brand of the cigarette, and thus has a conversation to obtain the cooperation of the other smoker. Therefore, the smoker can check the brand of the cigarette while communicating with each other using the cigarette package 20 of each selected cigarette.

Note that the cigarette package 20 shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 requires two cigarette packages 20 in order to cause the light-emitting diodes 27 to emit light (see particularly FIG. 4). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the cigarette package 20 may be provided with an arbitrary switch that electrically connects the positive electrode wiring 34 and the negative electrode wiring 35. In this case, the light emitting diode 27 can emit light only with the single cigarette package 20.

Also, the cigarette package 20 shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 has a battery 31 for supplying power to the light emitting diode 27. However, instead of providing the battery 31 in the cigarette package 20, a power source such as a battery may be provided, for example, at the center of the base 12 shown in FIG. In this case, for example, a power supply wiring or a terminal for connecting to the positive electrode wiring 34 and the negative electrode wiring 35 of the cigarette package 20 is provided in the center of the base 12 or the like. By connecting the wiring or terminal provided on the pedestal 12 to the positive wiring 34 and the negative wiring 35 of the cigarette package 34, the light emitting diode 27 can emit light.

Subsequently, another example of the tobacco package 20 included in the package kit 10 shown in FIG. 1 will be described. 6 and 7 are perspective views showing other examples of the tobacco package 20 included in the package kit 10 shown in FIG. Specifically, FIG. 6 shows the cigarette package 20 in a state where a seal member is attached, and FIG. 7 shows the cigarette package 20 in a state where the seal member is peeled off. 6 and 7, the same components as those of the cigarette package 20 shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

This cigarette package 20 has an information surface on the outer surface of which information specifying the type of cigarette accommodated is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the tobacco brand 41 </ b> C (brand A) is printed on the surface of the front wall portion 28 a of the front portion 28 (corresponding to an example of an information surface).

Moreover, the tobacco package 20 has a sealing member 42 (corresponding to an example of a concealing member) as shown in FIG. The seal member 42 is detachably attached to the surface of the front wall portion 28a of the front portion 28, and hides the brand 41C (see FIG. 7).

On the other hand, the cigarette package 20 does not include the light emitting diode 27, the battery 31, the magnet 32, the positive electrode wiring 34, and the negative electrode wiring 35 illustrated in FIGS.

As shown in FIG. 6, since the brand 41C of the cigarette package 20 is concealed by the seal member 42, the cigarette package 20 is configured so that the type of cigarette accommodated cannot be specified based on its appearance. The Thereby, since the impression of a taste, a brand, etc. is not recalled from the cigarette package 20, the smoker can concentrate on the taste of the cigarette and can select a favorite cigarette based only on the taste of the cigarette.

On the other hand, the smoker can know the cigarette brand 41C accommodated by removing the seal member 42 after trying out the cigarettes of each cigarette package 20 and selecting a favorite cigarette.

FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing still another example of the tobacco package 20 included in the package kit 10 shown in FIG. In FIG. 8, the same components as those of the cigarette package 20 shown in FIGS.

This cigarette package 20 has an information surface on the outer surface of which information specifying the type of cigarette accommodated is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 8, the brand 41D (brand A) of the cigarette accommodated is printed on the surface of the front wall portion 28a of the front portion 28 (corresponding to an example of an information surface) using invisible ink.

Here, the invisible ink is an ink that is colorless and transparent and is visualized by a predetermined process. For example, the invisible ink can be visualized by ultraviolet irradiation, heating, chemical reaction with other substances, and the like.

In FIG. 8, for convenience, the brand 41D is shown to be visible on the surface of the front wall portion 28a, but the brand 41D printed using invisible ink is actually colorless and transparent. For this reason, the cigarette package 20 is configured so that the type of cigarette accommodated cannot be specified based on its appearance. Thereby, since the impression of a taste, a brand, etc. is not recalled from the cigarette package 20, the smoker can concentrate on the taste of the cigarette and can select a favorite cigarette based only on the taste of the cigarette.

On the other hand, a smoker is accommodated by performing a predetermined process for visualizing invisible ink, for example, irradiation of ultraviolet rays, heating, and the like after trying the cigarettes of each cigarette package 20 and selecting a favorite cigarette. You can know the cigarette brand 41C.

FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing still another example of the tobacco package 20 included in the package kit 10 shown in FIG. In FIG. 9, the same components as those of the cigarette package 20 shown in FIGS.

This cigarette package 20 has an information surface on the outer surface of which information specifying the type of cigarette accommodated is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 9, a barcode 41 </ b> E (corresponding to an example of code information) corresponding to a brand of tobacco accommodated on the surface of the front wall portion 28 a of the front portion 28 (corresponding to an example of an information surface). Printed.

The information indicated by the barcode 41E is set in advance so as to correspond to the brand information of the tobacco accommodated in the tobacco package 20. A smoker cannot identify a cigarette brand simply by looking at the barcode 41E. For this reason, the cigarette package 20 is configured so that the type of cigarette accommodated cannot be specified based on its appearance. Thereby, since the impression of a taste, a brand, etc. is not recalled from the cigarette package 20, the smoker can concentrate on the taste of the cigarette and can select a favorite cigarette based only on the taste of the cigarette.

On the other hand, the smoker can know the brand of cigarettes accommodated by reading the bar code 41E with a bar code scanner or the like after trying out the cigarettes of each cigarette package 20 and selecting a favorite cigarette. .

In addition, although the tobacco package 20 shown in FIG. 9 has the barcode 41E, the information printed on the tobacco package 20 is not restricted to this. For example, instead of the barcode 41E, code information such as a two-dimensional code that cannot be read by humans from its appearance can be used.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the technical idea described in the claims and the specification and drawings. Is possible. Note that any shape or material not directly described in the specification and drawings is within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention as long as the effects and advantages of the present invention are achieved.
