Benefits of technology

[0007] It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a cigarette box insert in which the insert lid functions independently of, and consistently regardless of the condition of, the cigarette box, in which there is no interference between the insert lid and the cigarette box, and which is readily interchangeable between cigarette boxes, such as between a worn cigarette box and a new cigarette box. It is a further object to provide a cigarette box insert system which renders filling of a pipe with smoking material simple. A still further object is to provide such a system in which there is a reduced risk of mishandling the pipe and spilling of smoking material.

Problems solved by technology

The '658 system is not shaped and sized to fit snugly and securely within a cigarette box, and is not designed to provide access to its pipe and smoking material receptacles when placed within an opened cigarette box.

Embodiment Construction

[0015] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the invention is a cigarette box insert for placement inside a standard cigarette box. The insert has body 1 (FIG. 3) with a receptacle 4 for storing loose smoking material. The receptacle for loose smoking material has a solid bottom and extends less than the entire depth of the pipe receptacle. There is at least one pipe receptacle 5 (FIG. 4) which has a solid bottom and extends less than the entire depth of the body. This is sized for receiving a small pipe and holding it relatively secure. The pipe receptacle 5 preferably contains a spring at its bottom for urging the pipe 15 upwardly upon opening of the insert lid 2 as shown in FIG. 2. If the pipe receptacle is too large, a pipe therein, which is usually metal, rattles around.

[0016] The external surfaces of the body 1 and the body itself have dimensions such that they conform to the internal surfaces of a standard cigarette box of the standard cardboard type which is sold in stores and in mach...

[0003] This invention relates to a smoking device that fits snugly inside most commercially branded paperboard-type cigarette boxes. This new cigarette box insert was designed to store loose tobacco and a pipe within a “flip-top” style cigarette box. A cigarette smoker who is looking to limit tobacco intake would buy a favorite brand of cigarettes and use the tobacco contained within the cigarettes to fill the tobacco receptacle housed within the invention. Now the smoker can still carry a preferred pack of cigarettes, using the pipe to smoke just a frac...
