[0036] Example 2
[0037] like Figures 1-6As shown, this embodiment provides a portable cigar case, including a lid 1, a body 2, an upper spring 3, and a lower spring 4. The body 2 is a hollow cuboid with a depth of 29 mm, an internal length of 200 mm, and an internal width of 108 mm. The outer sides of the body 2 are designed with concave sliding rails to provide a sliding path for the lid 1. Through precise woodworking, the dimensions are optimized for smooth, unobstructed sliding. A spring-loaded positioning post 2-1 is provided at the end of the rail of the body 2. When installing the lid 1, the spring-loaded positioning post 2-1 is pressed into the groove by hand or with a tool. After the lid is installed in the rail groove, releasing the pressure causes the spring-loaded post to spring up, limiting the sliding of the lid 1 through the bottom of the sliding groove, allowing the lid to open to a preset position.
[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, the upper spring piece 3 is made of laminated red cedar wood chips, with an arc shape. The arc is larger than that of the lower spring piece 4. It is fixed to the woodworking-finished pivot 3-1. The two ends of the pivot 3-1 are protruding cylinders, and their size matches the slots 2-2 on both sides of the top of the box. After being fixed in the slots 2-2 on both sides of the top of the box 1 by its own pivot 3-1, the arc opening faces the lid 1. The upper spring piece 3 is provided with a first set of magnetic attraction devices 3-2 near the pivot 3-1: three 6mm*1mm magnets. When the lid 1 is slid to the limit structure and fully opened by the sliding rail structure, the first set of magnetic attraction devices 3-2 and the second set of magnetic attraction devices 1-1 embedded in the lid are attracted and fixed, and the upper spring piece pops up, making it easy to take out cigars. When there are no cigars in the cigar carrying box, the end of the upper spring piece 3 away from the pivot 3-1 is supported by gravity on the lower spring piece 4.
[0039] like Figure 6 As shown, the lower spring piece 4 is made of red cedar veneer laminated and shaped by woodworking, and has a mountain-shaped arc structure. Specifically, it includes three spring piece units 4-1 and two slots 4-2 between the three spring piece units 4-1. The arc of the lower spring piece 4 is smaller than that of the upper spring piece 3, and its thickness is 1-2 mm, preferably 1.5 mm. One side of the lower spring piece 4 can be engaged in a groove 2-3 inside the box body 2. A third set of magnetic attraction devices is provided on the bottom of the other side of the lower spring piece 4, specifically three magnets located on the bottom of the three spring piece units 4-1. These attract the fourth set of magnetic attraction devices 2-4 embedded in the middle of the bottom of the box body 2, providing auxiliary fixation. When there is no cigar on the spring piece unit of the lower spring piece, the highest point of the arc surface of the lower spring piece unit is 17.37 mm from the bottom of the box lid.
[0040] A fifth set of magnetic attraction devices 1-2 is installed near the edge of the lid 1, and a sixth set of magnetic attraction devices 2-5 is installed on the box body 2. When the lid 1 completely covers the box body 2, the fifth set of magnetic attraction devices 1-2 and the sixth set of magnetic attraction devices 2-5 attract each other. The attraction strength has been tested and found that when the box is suspended vertically, the lid 2 and the box body 1 are tightly joined and will not fall off naturally.
[0041] Preferably, the overall frame of the lid 1 and the body 2 is made of carbon fiber and wood to prevent deformation, and the inside of the lid 1 and the body 2 is lined with red cedar wood shavings.
[0042] It should be noted that the magnetic devices in this embodiment can be set on the surface of the corresponding position of the cigar carrying box and are visible, or they can be embedded inside the corresponding position of the cigar carrying box and are not visible. Preferably, for the sake of the product's aesthetics and service life, the magnetic devices are all embedded inside the corresponding position of the cigar carrying box and are not visible.
[0043] After storing cigars in a cigar case, tests showed that when the lid was closed and the upper spring mechanism was compressed to its lowest point inside the case, the distance between the bottom of the spring and the bottom of the case was approximately 17 mm. Taking Cohiba, a well-known cigar brand, as an example, the diameter of most cigars ranges from 18.3 mm to 22.6 mm. The following are several test results showing the cigars inside the case.
[0044] 1. When a 22.6 mm diameter cigar is placed in slot 4-2 of the lower spring, the upper spring is compressed by about 5 mm, clamping the cigar.
[0045] 2. When a 22.6 mm diameter cigar is placed in the spring unit 4-1 of the lower spring, the upper and lower springs are compressed and deformed simultaneously, with the upper spring compressed by about 2 mm and the lower spring compressed by about 3 mm, thus clamping the cigar.
[0046] 3. When an 18.3 mm diameter cigar is placed in the slot 4-2 of the lower spring, the upper spring is squeezed and deformed by about 3 mm, clamping the cigar.
[0047] When a cigar with a diameter of 4.18.3 mm is placed in the spring unit 4-1 of the lower spring, the upper and lower springs are simultaneously compressed and deformed, with the upper spring compressed by about 1 mm and the lower spring compressed by 2 mm, thus clamping the cigar.
[0048] All of the above conditions have been tested with actual objects. Cigars of various sizes (the largest diameter of the tested cigar was 23 mm) were placed in the box for half a month, and the cigars were all fixed in the box without any obvious pressure marks.
[0049] This utility model provides a portable cigar case that uses a sliding lid for opening and closing. A limit setting on the case body ensures that the case body and lid do not separate during the sliding process, maintaining the overall integrity. The case body, along with upper and lower spring clips, secures the cigars within the case, preventing them from shifting or being damaged. After the lid is opened and slids to the limit setting, a second set of magnetic devices on the lid attracts the first set of magnetic devices on the upper spring clip, allowing the cigars to be easily removed. The inner walls of the case body, the inside of the lid, and the upper and lower spring clips are all made of high-quality Spanish red cedar veneer, which is beneficial for the aging and storage of cigars.
[0050] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
