Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the tobacco industry, specifically relating to a novel oral cigarette packaging box. Background Technology

[0002] The packaging boxes for existing oral cigarette products are very simple. Whether square or round, they are mostly divided into three parts: such as... Figure 1 As shown, the device consists of three parts: a box body 3 at the bottom, a middle cover 1 in the middle, and a top cover 2 at the top. The oral cigarette product for normal use is placed in the box body 3, then the middle cover 1 is placed on top, and finally the top cover 2 is placed on top. A "waste cigarette cavity" of approximately 3-5mm is formed between the middle cover and the top cover. Its main function is to allow consumers to place the remaining, non-digestible pouch into the "waste cigarette cavity" after partially dissolving the cigarette, ensuring it does not disturb others or pollute the environment, and allowing for use regardless of the environment. However, existing oral cigarette packaging has the following problems: 1. Existing packaging cannot guarantee that consumers will not contaminate the oral cigarette when taking it out; 2. Existing oral cigarette packaging is designed to be too small, making it inconvenient for consumers to quickly and accurately remove the cigarette pouch from the box body 3 and put it into their mouths.

[0003] This invention is proposed for this purpose. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Based on existing oral cigarette packaging boxes, this invention modifies the structure of the middle cover by adding a slot for tweezers on its lower surface. The tweezers are used to pick up the oral cigarette, preventing contamination and making it suitable for a safer and more hygienic new type of oral cigarette packaging box.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A novel oral cigarette packaging box, wherein tweezers T are arranged on the lower surface of the middle cover 1 of the oral cigarette packaging box.

[0007] Preferably, the wall of the middle cover 1 protrudes upward along the diameter direction, forming a cuboid groove 14 on the lower surface of the middle cover 1, and the tweezers T are arranged in the groove 14.

[0008] Preferably, an arc wall 16 is provided around the center of the cigarette packaging box inside the groove 14; elastic clamping blocks 18 with opposite pairs are provided on the inner wall of the groove 14, and anti-slip stripes 181 are provided on the inner side wall of the clamping blocks 18.

[0009] Preferably, groove-width sidewalls are provided at both ends of the groove 14, so that the groove 14 forms an open cuboid cavity; the tweezers T are arranged in the open cuboid cavity.

[0010] Preferably, a rectangular cover 110 is provided for the groove 14, so that the groove 14 forms a sealed cuboid cavity; the tweezers T are arranged in the sealed cuboid cavity.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the wide side wall of the cover 110 forms a hinge 111 with the wide side wall of the groove; the other end of the wide side wall of the cover 110 is bent into an elastic hook 112, and the end of the hook 112 forms a button 113.

[0012] Preferably, the groove width sidewall 114 corresponding to the hook 112 is inclined; anti-slip stripes 181 are provided on the surface of the groove width sidewall 114.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0014] The novel oral cigarette packaging box of the present invention, based on the existing oral cigarette packaging box, has an upwardly convex groove on the lower surface of the middle cover 1 for placing tweezers. The tweezers T are used to pick up the oral cigarette, preventing contamination of the oral cigarette, making it a safer and more hygienic oral cigarette packaging box.

[0015] The present invention offers two technical solutions: the first solution involves the tweezers being directly exposed above the container holding the cigarette; the second solution involves the tweezers being sealed above the container holding the cigarette. The first solution is simple in design but involves direct contact with the cigarette, making it less environmentally friendly; the second solution involves sealing the tweezers, preventing direct contact with the cigarette.

[0016] Existing oral cigarette packaging boxes are round; the technical solution of the present invention is also applicable to oral cigarette packaging boxes that are square or other shapes. Attached Figure Description

[0027] In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the terms used above should not be construed as necessarily referring to the same embodiments or examples. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. Moreover, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification.

[0028] like Figure 1 The existing cigarette packaging shown does not include tweezers. This invention, based on the existing cigarette packaging, includes tweezers T arranged on the lower surface of the middle cover 1 of the cigarette packaging, as shown... Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown.

[0029] Example 1: As Figure 2-3 As shown, in this embodiment of the novel oral cigarette packaging box, the wall of the middle cover 1 protrudes upward along the diameter direction, and a cuboid groove 14 is formed on the lower surface of the middle cover 1, and the tweezers T are arranged in the groove 14.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, an arc-shaped wall 16 is formed around the center of the cigarette packaging box within the groove 14 to facilitate the handling of tweezers; two opposing elastic clamping blocks 18 are provided on the inner wall of the groove 14, and anti-slip stripes 181 are provided on the inner sidewall of the clamping blocks 18 to facilitate the clamping of the tweezers. Figure 4 As shown;

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, a rectangular cover 110 is provided for the groove 14 to cover the groove 14, preventing the tweezers from directly contacting the smoke in the mouth.

[0032] Example 2: As Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment of the novel oral cigarette packaging box, the two ends of the protrusion 14 are respectively provided with groove-width sidewalls, so that the protrusion 14 forms an open cuboid cavity; the tweezers T are arranged in the open cuboid cavity;

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, a rectangular cover 110 is provided for the groove 14, so that the groove 14 forms a sealed cuboid cavity; the tweezers T are arranged in the sealed cuboid cavity.

[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, one end of the wide side wall of the cover 110 forms a hinge 111 with the wide side wall of the groove. This hinge facilitates repeated opening and closing of the cover 110 while maintaining its continuity. The hinge 111 can be an independent solid "shaft" or a connecting body integrated with the wide side wall of the groove, which facilitates repeated opening and closing of the cover 110 while maintaining its continuity. For example, it can be a thin film integrated by injection molding, which can be repeatedly "folded" and rotated (e.g., it can be opened and closed at least 20 times). The other end of the wide side wall of the cover 110 is bent into an elastic hook 112, and the end of the hook 112 forms a button 113. The button 113 protrudes at the end, making it easy for consumers to pry it open with their fingers. Of course, it can also be designed into other shapes that are easy to operate.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the groove sidewall 114 corresponding to the hook 112 is inclined; anti-slip stripes 181 (not shown in the figure) are provided on the surface of the groove sidewall 114; this arrangement facilitates the hook 112 to be engaged into the groove sidewall 114 and to be pulled apart.

[0036] This method of increasing friction between the button 113 and the groove width sidewall 114 is just one specific example; other methods, such as interference fits, are also within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0037] A preferred embodiment could be a simplified version that omits the cover 110, both of which are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0038] The embodiment of the present invention, based on the existing oral cigarette packaging box, provides an upwardly protruding groove on the lower surface of the middle cover 1 for placing tweezers; the tweezers T are used to pick up the oral cigarette, preventing contamination of the oral cigarette, and is suitable for a new type of oral cigarette packaging box that is safer and more hygienic.

[0039] The present invention allows the tweezers to be directly exposed above the box 3 containing the cigarette; alternatively, a lid 110 can be set to prevent the tweezers from directly contacting the cigarette; furthermore, the tweezers T can be arranged in a sealed cuboid cavity to completely isolate the tweezers from the cigarette. Complete isolation is the most effective way to prevent contamination from the cigarette, but the design is slightly complicated.

[0040] The above embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention, nor is the present invention limited to the examples described above. Any changes, modifications, additions, or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present invention are also within the protection scope of the present invention.
