Description
- This application claims priority from Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/725,690 filed Nov. 13, 2012.
- Many people like to smoke both king-size and standard cigarettes, whether they're on a quick break at work or leisurely smoking in their home. In order to do so, however, people have to purchase two separate packs, which can be more expensive and a hassle to carry around. An effective solution is necessary.
- The present invention provides users with an easy way to carry around two different kinds or sizes of cigarettes at the same time, and combines king-size and standard cigarettes in one box. The cigarette pack device gives users more variety in their cigarette choices, and prevents the need to purchase and carry two separate packs of cigarettes. The device allows users to divide one pack of cigarettes into two smaller packs that can easily fit in a pocket.
- The following presents a simplified summary in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed innovation. This summary is not an extensive overview, and it is not intended to identify key/critical elements or to delineate the scope thereof. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.
- The subject matter disclosed and claimed herein, in one aspect thereof, comprises a cigarette pack device that allows users to carry around two different kinds or sizes of cigarettes at the same time, and combines king-size and standard cigarettes in one box. The cigarette pack device comprises a first container for retaining a first plurality of cigarettes and a second container for retaining a second plurality of cigarettes, wherein the first container and the second container are removably secured together, and wherein the first plurality of cigarettes is different than the second plurality of cigarettes. The first and second containers each comprise a top end, a bottom end, opposing sides, and an interior cavity. The containers are sized to hold both standard and king-size cigarettes. Thus, a container can retain all standard cigarettes, all king-size cigarettes, or a combination of both standard and king-size cigarettes.
- In a preferred embodiment, the containers are removably secured together to form one container or (cigarette pack) via a folded panel wherein the folded panel comprises a perforated line extending substantially along a length of the panel. Further, the panel is typically perforated, such that a user can rip away the panel to create two separate containers. Each of the containers also comprise a separate flip lid that is secured to the top end of the containers. The flip lids retain the cigarettes within the respective containers, and once opened, allow access to the cigarettes within the interior cavity of the containers. Further, a user can open one lid without opening the other lid.
- To the accomplishment of the foregoing and related ends, certain illustrative aspects of the disclosed innovation are described herein in connection with the following description and the annexed drawings. These aspects are indicative, however, of but a few of the various ways in which the principles disclosed herein can be employed and is intended to include all such aspects and their equivalents.
