Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of cigar accessories technology, and in particular to a cigar holder. Background Technology
[0002] Cigars require a relatively long smoking time, usually more than 30 minutes, and there are intervals during the smoking process. Therefore, a cigar holder is needed to allow users to place the cigar more easily during the smoking intervals, avoid continuous hand contact with the cigar, and keep their hands clean.
[0003] However, most cigar holders on the market are sold and used as a set with ashtrays. The positions of the ashtrays and holders are relatively fixed, resulting in a large overall size and making it inconvenient to carry, use, and clean cigar holders. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a cigar holder that addresses the issues of inconvenience in carrying, using, and cleaning cigar holders.
[0005] This utility model provides a cigar holder, which includes a body with a through hole for inserting a cigar. The body has a first end face and a second end face at both ends along the axial direction of the through hole. The first end face has a first groove and a second groove. The first groove and the second groove are located on opposite sides of the through hole and are connected to the through hole. The bottom of the first groove is less than the bottom of the second groove is less than the first end face.
[0006] In one embodiment, the diameter of the through hole is equal to the outer diameter of the cigar.
[0007] In one embodiment, the first groove is an arc groove, the second groove is an arc groove, the arc radius of the first groove is greater than the arc radius of the second groove, and the depth of the first groove is less than the depth of the second groove.
[0008] In one embodiment, the groove sidewall of the first groove is connected to the first end face via a first arc surface; the groove sidewall of the second groove is connected to the first end face via a second arc surface.
[0009] In one embodiment, the arc diameter of the first groove is 14mm to 23mm; the arc diameter of the second groove is 14mm to 23mm.
[0010] In one embodiment, the difference between the depth of the first groove and the depth of the second groove is 2mm to 5mm.
[0011] In one embodiment, the arc length of the first groove is 20mm~32mm, and the central angle of the arc of the first groove is 95°~130°; the arc length of the second groove is 20mm~32mm, and the central angle of the arc of the second groove is 95°~130°.
[0012] In one embodiment, the line connecting the lowest point of the first groove and the lowest point of the second groove makes an angle of 5° to 20° with the horizontal plane.
[0013] In one embodiment, the second end face is a plane.
[0014] In one embodiment, the body is formed by bending and wrapping a sheet material into a cylindrical ring structure, and the through hole is the inner cylinder of the cylindrical ring structure.
[0015] The aforementioned cigar holder allows the cigar to pass through a through-hole in its main body, thus using the holder itself as a cigar label. When the user smokes the cigar, they simply remove the label to place the cigar in the holder, eliminating the need for separate purchase or carrying of a cigar holder. Furthermore, the cigar is placed in the first and second recesses. Due to the height difference between the bottoms of the first and second recesses, the cigar is placed at a slightly downward angle, improving ease of handling, or it can be placed at an upward angle to allow the smoke to rise, stabilizing the ash and ensuring the cigar's flavor is preserved. This embodiment integrates the cigar label and holder functions, essentially providing a separate holder for each cigar. This not only solves the problem of inconvenient cigar holders but also reduces the cost of purchasing them, offering the advantages of ease of use and portability. Attached Figure Description

[0029] See Figures 1 to 4 The diagram shows a structural schematic and a usage schematic of a cigar holder 10 according to an embodiment of the present application. The cigar holder 10 includes a body 100, which has a through hole 100A for a cigar 20 to pass through. The body 100 has a first end face 110 and a second end face 120 at both ends along the axial direction of the through hole 100A. The first end face 110 has a first groove 110A and a second groove 110B. The first groove 110A and the second groove 110B are located on opposite sides of the through hole 100A and are connected to the through hole 100A. The distance from the bottom of the first groove 110A to the first end face 110 is less than the distance from the bottom of the second groove 110B to the first end face 110.
[0030] The cigar holder 10 described in this embodiment allows the cigar 20 to pass through the through hole 100A of the main body 100, thus serving as a label or footer for the cigar 20. When the user smokes the cigar 20, they simply remove the label to place the cigar 20 in the holder, eliminating the need for the user to purchase or carry the holder separately. The outer side of the main body 100 can still be designed with patterns, text, or brand logos to showcase the identity and characteristics of the cigar 20. The cigar holder 10 reduces unnecessary accessories and packaging, contributing to reduced waste and environmental pollution, aligning with the pursuit of environmental protection and sustainable development.
[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cigar 20 is placed in the first groove 110A and the second groove 110B of the cigar holder 10. Since there is a height difference between the bottom of the first groove 110A and the bottom of the second groove 110B, the cigar 20 is placed on the cigar holder 10 at a slightly downward angle to improve the convenience of picking up the cigar 20, or it is placed at an upward angle to make the smoke of the cigar 20 rise, so as to achieve a stable ash condensation effect and ensure that the flavor of the cigar 20 is continuously preserved.
[0032] The cigar holder 10 described in this application integrates the cigar label with the cigar holder 10, which means that each cigar 20 is equipped with a cigar holder 10. This not only solves the problem that the cigar holder 10 is inconvenient to carry, but also reduces the cost of purchasing the cigar holder 10. It has the advantages of being convenient to use and convenient to carry.
[0033] Combination Figure 3 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of the use of a cigar holder according to one embodiment of this application. In some embodiments, the diameter of the through hole 100A is equal to the outer diameter of the cigar 20. Since the cigar holder 10 needs to be fitted onto the cigar 20, by setting the diameter of the through hole 100A to the outer diameter of the cigar 20, the body 100 is installed to fit snugly against the outer wall of the cigar 20. This allows the cigar holder 10 to also serve as a label for the cigar 20, making it convenient to carry. In one exemplary embodiment, the total length of the cigar 20 varies depending on the brand and model, but generally, the length of a common cigar 20 ranges from 114mm to 203mm, and the circumference ranges from 47mm to 71mm, meaning the diameter of the cigar holder 10 ranges from 14mm to 23mm.
[0034] In other embodiments, the cigar holder 10 and the cigar 20 are connected by an interference fit. By connecting the cigar holder 10 to the cigar 20 with an interference fit, the stability of the cigar holder 10 is ensured, the coaxiality between the cigar holder 10 and the cigar 20 is better, and the cigar holder 10 is prevented from falling off or being lost during carrying.
[0035] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, the first groove 110A and the second groove 110B are both arc-shaped grooves. The radius of the arc of the first groove 110A is larger than that of the second groove 110B, and the depth of the first groove 110A is less than the depth of the second groove 110B. Since the cigar 20 has a cylindrical structure, by placing the first groove 110A and the second groove 110B within the arc-shaped grooves, the first groove 110A and the second groove 110B adapt to the shape of the outer wall of the cigar 20, thereby improving the stability of the cigar 20 when placed in the cigar holder 10 and providing ease of use. Furthermore, by adjusting the depth of the first groove 110A and the second groove 110B, the angle of the cigar 20 when placed in the cigar holder 10 is slightly downward, allowing the smoker to pick up the cigar 20 more easily and conveniently. Of course, it can also be placed upside down, with the cigar 20 positioned slightly upwards in the cigar holder 10. This ensures that the smoke rises during smoking, stabilizing the ash and preserving the flavor of the cigar 20. Alternatively, the cigar 20 can be inserted into the through hole 100A of the cigar holder 10 to hold it vertically. This also allows the smoke to rise, stabilizing the ash and preserving the flavor, offering a better user experience.
[0036] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, to prevent damage to the cigar 20 during placement, the sidewall of the first groove 110A is smoothly connected to the first end face 110 via a first arc surface 101. The first arc surface 101 smoothly transitions the first groove 110A to the first end face 110, preventing scratches on the sidewall of the cigar 20 at the junction of the first groove 110A and the first end face 110 when the cigar 20 is placed in it, thus improving the user experience of the cigar holder 10. Similarly, the sidewall of the second groove 110B is smoothly connected to the second end face 120 via a second arc surface 102. The second arc surface 102 smoothly transitions the second groove 110B to the second end face 120, preventing scratches on the sidewall of the cigar 20 at the junction of the second groove 110B and the second end face 120 when the cigar 20 is placed in it, thus improving the user experience of the cigar holder 10.
[0037] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, the arc diameter of the first groove 110A is 14mm~23mm; the arc diameter of the second groove 110B is 14mm~23mm. Further, the arc length of the first groove 110A is 20mm~32mm, and the central angle of the arc of the first groove 110A is 95°~130°. The arc length of the second groove 110B is 20mm~32mm, and the central angle of the arc of the second groove 110B is 95°~130°. Based on the size of the cigar 20, the dimensions of the first groove 110A and the second groove 110B can be set to the above ranges to make the cigar holder 10 fit the size of the cigar 20, thereby making the cigar holder 10 more stable in holding the cigar 20.
[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the difference between the depth of the first groove 110A and the depth of the second groove 110B is 2mm to 5mm. By setting the difference between the depth of the first groove 110A and the depth of the second groove 110B, the angle of the cigar 20 when placed in the cigar holder 10 is adjusted, thereby improving the ease of use of the cigar holder 10 and the burning effect of the cigar 20.
[0039] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the angle between the line connecting the lowest point of the first groove 110A and the lowest point of the second groove 110B and the horizontal plane is 5° to 20°. That is to say, the horizontal tilt angle formed when the cigar 20 is placed on the cigar holder 10 is within the range of 5° to 20°. This tilt angle range allows the cigar 20 to be placed stably on the cigar holder 10 and also makes it easy to pick up, which has the advantage of being convenient to use.
[0040] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second end face 120 of the main body 100 is a plane. By setting the second end face 120 as a plane, the cigar holder 10 is placed more stably when placed on a plane, thus improving the stability of the cigar holder 10 during use.
[0041] In an optional embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the body 100 is made of a sheet material bent and wound into a cylindrical ring structure, and the through hole 100A is the inner cylinder of the cylindrical ring structure. Since the cigar holder 10 needs to be fitted onto the cigar 20 as a cigar label, a sheet material is bent and wound into a ring shape to facilitate carrying it as a cigar label, thus forming the through hole 100A, allowing the cigar 20 to pass through the through hole 100A. When the sheet material body 100 is fitted onto the cigar 20, it does not occupy excessive space, offering the advantage of easy carrying.
[0042] In one exemplary embodiment, the sheet material is made of metal, plastic, wood, or composite material. Different sheet materials can be selected to make cigar holders based on product design concepts, usage scenarios, and aesthetic requirements, ensuring product diversity and personalization. The diameter of the ring is determined according to the cigar size, accommodating cigars of various dimensions.
[0043] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0044] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
