Regarding the disposal of cigarette butts, smokers should think properly to prevent the butts from polluting the environment.
There are many patents regarding the improvement of a cigarette box, such as Taiwan Utility Model Publication No. 296550 titled “a cigarette case with an ashtray”, Taiwan Utility Model Patent No. M363804 titled “a cigarette case able to store butts and ash”, Taiwan Utility Model Patent No. M404608 titled “a cigarette case”, Taiwan Patent No. I351927 titled “a cigarette case combined with an ashtray”. The conventional cigarette boxes have their respective advantages. However, the appearance and structure of the existing box must be changed greatly. As a result, the size of the outer case is increased, or the structure is complicated or the cost is increased. They are not used widely. Accordingly, the inventor of the present invention has devoted himself based on his many years of practical experiences to solve this problem.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe primary object of the present invention is to provide a cigarette pack able to store cigarette butts. The cigarette pack doesn't change the appearance and shape of the existing cigarette pack. The outer case of the cigarette pack is provided with a foldable bag therein in a simply way. The cigarette pack has a simple structure and can be used conveniently, and the cost is very lower. The present invention can prevent smokers from littering butts to pollute the environment.
In order to achieve the aforesaid object, the cigarette pack able to store cigarette butts of the present invention comprises an outer case, a foil packing, and a foldable bag. The foil packing is a piece of conventional foiling packing paper to pack cigarettes. One side of the outer case is cut beforehand to form an outer flip piece. The foldable bag is hidden and coupled between the inner side of the outer flip piece and a partial face of the foil packing. The foldable bag has a sealing opening which can be opened or closed repeatedly by tearing and adhering. When in use, the outer flip piece is opened to open the sealing opening of the foldable bag synchronously in order to store butts. When the outer fillip piece is pushed back to close the sealing opening of the foldable bag, the butts are stored in the foldable bag. The present invention has a simple structure and can be used easily and has a lower cost, so it is beneficial to be used widely so as to prevent the butts from being littered and to prevent the environment from being polluted.
The outer case is provided with an upper flip piece above the outer flip piece. The sealing opening of the foldable bag is provided with an extension piece. When the foldable bag is folded, the upper flip piece and the extension piece are bond temporarily. The upper flip piece is adhered to the sealing opening of the foldable bag so as to prevent the sealing opening from bursting.
The outer flip piece of the outer case is selectively disposed at the back or one side or two sides of the outer case. The outer flip piece is formed by cutting. The foldable bag is switched and hidden between the outer flip piece and the foil packing.
Two ends of the foldable bag are foldable pieces, such that the foldable bag can be folded to form a flat shape or pulled out to form a butt storage space.
The sealing opening of the foldable bag is provided with an adhesive layer which can be torn and adhered repeatedly, enabling the sealing opening of the foldable bag to be opened and closed repeatedly.
Embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
