Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of cigarette boxes, in particular to a sliding cigarette shell structure. Background Art

[0002] Cigarette cases are used to store cigarettes. For portability, they typically come in 5-, 7-, 10-, 14-, or 20-pack sizes. They are made of paper, aluminum, and tinplate. However, existing cigarette cases come in two types: soft and hard. Soft cases can easily cause cigarettes to become damp and warp during use, affecting both the usability and aesthetics of the cigarettes. Meanwhile, hard cases can be inconvenient to remove.

[0003] Therefore, a cigarette case is designed to facilitate the storage of cigarettes. For example, Chinese patent CN202021516444.8 uses a second shell to push the cover to open, but in actual use, it is found that there is a gap between the second shell and the first shell, which causes the cigarette to get stuck, affecting the use, and its sliding is not linear enough, affecting the user experience.

[0004] At the same time, the existing cigarette shells generally adopt an integrated stamping process, so their production costs are relatively high, which affects their market competitiveness. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose a sliding cigarette shell structure, aiming to improve the structure of the cigarette shell. It adopts bending molding to ensure the support of the shell, while the sliding structure is more linear, improving the user experience and lowering the production cost.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a sliding cigarette case structure, comprising:

[0007] A first shell, wherein the first shell is a first chamber having a first opening at an upper end, and a limiting portion is provided on at least one side of an inner wall of the first shell;

[0008] The second shell is a second chamber with a second opening at the upper end, and the second opening is provided with a swinging cover.

[0009] The second shell is provided with a limiting groove on its outer wall that matches the limiting portion, and the second shell is slidably installed in the first cavity;

[0010] When the second shell extends into the first shell, the cover body swings to a state of closing with the second opening;

[0011] When the second shell is withdrawn from the first shell, the cover body swings to a position away from the second opening.

[0012] In the actual design, the second shell is installed in the first shell, wherein the second chamber is used to place cigarettes, thereby preventing cigarettes from being damaged by the structure. At the same time, the cooperation between the limiting portion and the limiting groove realizes the limitation between the second shell and the first shell. The limitation can be the limitation when the second shell extends into the first chamber, and can also include the limitation when the second shell extends out of the first shell, thereby preventing the second shell from being separated from the first chamber, thereby facilitating the use of the cigarette case.

[0013] The structure is simple, and in actual use, the cigarettes are effectively protected from being damaged, and the cigarette shells have a good feel and can be played with as a hand-held piece, thereby increasing the interest in using the cigarette box. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0032] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a sliding cigarette shell structure includes:

[0033] A first housing 1, which is a first chamber with a first opening 1a at its upper end, and a limiting portion 4 is provided on at least one side of an inner wall of the first housing 1;

[0034] The second shell 2 is a second chamber 2b with a second opening 2a at the upper end, and the second opening 2a is provided with a swinging cover 3.

[0035] The second housing 2 is provided with a limiting groove 5 on its outer wall that matches the limiting portion 4, and the second housing 2 is slidably installed in the first cavity;

[0036] When the second shell 2 is inserted into the first shell 1, the cover 3 swings to a state of closing with the second opening 2a;

[0037] When the second housing 2 is withdrawn from the first housing 1 , the cover 3 swings to a position away from the second opening 2 a .

[0038] In the actual design, the second shell 2 is installed in the first shell 1, wherein the second chamber 2b is used to place cigarettes, thereby preventing the cigarettes from being damaged by the structure. At the same time, the cooperation between the limiting portion 4 and the limiting groove 5 realizes the limitation between the second shell 2 and the first shell 1, wherein the limitation can include the limitation when the second shell 2 extends into the first chamber 1b, and can also include the limitation when the second shell 2 extends out of the first shell 1, thereby preventing the second shell 2 from being separated from the first chamber, thereby facilitating the use of the cigarette case;

[0039] The structure is simple, and in actual use, the cigarettes are effectively protected from being damaged, and the cigarette shells have a good feel and can be played with as a hand-held piece, thereby increasing the interest in using the cigarette box.

[0040] The first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are preferably formed by bending a metal plate in one piece, but can also be made of plastic material.

[0041] Specifically, the first shell 1 is formed by bending a single plate. The first shell 1 is in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and the stoppers 4 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the narrow side of the first shell 1. The first shell 1 is composed of symmetrically arranged plates, which facilitates the processing of the first shell 1. Specifically, the predetermined shape is cut out, and then folded symmetrically along the midline of the bottom plate. Finally, the narrow sides are folded to form the initial shape of the first shell 1.

[0042] In this embodiment of the present invention, a first fold mark 11 is provided in the middle of the narrow side of the first housing 1. The stopper 4 is plate-shaped and fixed to the narrow side of the first housing 1. Adhesion or welding is preferred as a fixing method to secure the stopper 4 within the first housing 1. This also secures the first fold mark 11, ensuring that the first housing 1 will not separate. The structure is simple and stable, requiring only bending followed by securing with the stopper 4, effectively reducing production costs.

[0043] The limiting portion 4 can be integrally formed with the first housing 1 or can be separately provided.

[0044] Specifically, the limiting portion 4 includes a main plate 4a and a spring piece 4b provided on the main plate 4a, wherein the spring piece 4b is provided inwardly and has a deformable shape. At the same time, the arrangement of the plate body can also ensure the structural stability and support of the first housing 1.

[0045] Specifically, in actual use, the elastic piece 4b with deformation degree is counteracted with the limiting groove 5, thereby achieving pressure on the second shell 2, thereby making the sliding of the second shell 2 more linear, and improving the use experience.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the limiting groove 5 is recessed in the second shell 2 , and a first positioning portion 5 a is protruded from the upper portion of the limiting groove 5 . The first positioning portion 5 a is used for positioning when the second shell 2 exits the first shell 1 .

[0047] Specifically, the limiting groove 5 is provided with a second positioning portion 5b below the first positioning portion 5a. The second positioning portion 5b is used to position the second housing 2 when it is inserted into the first housing 1. This prevents the second housing 2 from sliding out of the first housing 1 when in the closed state, thereby ensuring the positioning of the second housing 2 when closed and opened.

[0048] Specifically, the positions of the limiting portion 4 and the limiting groove 5 can also be set on the second shell 2 and the first shell 1 respectively, that is, they can be swapped to achieve the same technical effect.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present invention, a through groove 61 penetrating the shell wall is provided at the bottom of the first shell 1, and a protrusion 62 cooperating with the through groove 61 is provided at the second shell 2, thereby facilitating the sliding of the second shell 2. At the same time, the cooperation between the protrusion 62 and the through groove 61 can play a limiting role.

[0050] Specifically, the first shell 1 is provided with an inwardly formed convex portion 72, and the main board is provided with a concave hole 71 that matches the convex portion 72. The matching of the concave hole 71 and the convex portion 72 facilitates the positioning of the board.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present invention, the second shell 2 is provided with a pivot portion 31, and the cover body 3 is installed on the pivot portion 31. The pivot portion 31 is provided with a rotating shaft 32, and the rotating shaft 32 is sleeved on a spring 33. The spring 33 is used to apply an elastic force to the cover body 3 away from the second opening 2a. Therefore, when the second shell 2 exits the first shell 1, the cover body 3 is automatically opened by the drive of the spring 33. When it needs to be closed, pressure is applied to the cover body 3 toward the second opening 2a, and then the first shell 1 is extended into the first chamber.

[0052] Specifically, the front wall of the second shell 2 is provided with a notch 81, and the cover 3 is provided with a bent portion 82 that matches the notch 81. The provision of the bent portion facilitates the removal of cigarettes and provides a stable structure.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the practical concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
