Embodiment Construction

[0032]The invention, in some embodiments, relates to the field of cigarettes, and more particularly to methods and devices for preventing fire damage caused by smokers discarding lit cigarettes.

[0033]Reference is now made to FIGS. 1A and 1B are schematic partial cut-away views of an embodiment of a device for extinguishing a cigarette according to an embodiment of the teachings herein, in a rest state and in an extinguishing state, respectively. The embodiment of FIGS. 1A and 1B provides for active and passive extinguishing of a cigarette, based on pressured release of a fire-extinguishing fluid.

[0034]As seen, a cigarette 10 having a filter 11 and a tobacco region 12 has a tubular fluid receptacle 14 disposed in filter 11. Receptacle 14 typically has a diameter smaller than 3 mm, and has a length suited to the length of the filter 11 of the specific cigarette. Typically, fluid receptacle 14 is placed in the center of filter 11 approximately half a cm from the proximal end of filter ...

Abstract

A cigarette extinguishing device, including a tubular fluid receptacle configured to be disposed within a filter of a cigarette, the fluid receptacle having enclosed therein sufficient fluid to extinguish the cigarette, the fluid being under pressure from compressed air within the fluid receptacle, a diaphragm disposed at an end of the tubular fluid receptacle, the diaphragm being configured to be ruptured by at least one of pressure and heat and being more susceptible to pressure and heat than side walls of the tubular receptacle, and a tube connected to the diaphragm and extending through a tobacco region of the cigarette until a distal end of the cigarette, wherein, when the diaphragm is ruptured, the fluid flows from the fluid receptacle via the tube to a burn region of the cigarette, thereby extinguishing the cigarette.
