Definitions

  • the invention relates to an arrangement which is intended to keep the contents of a tobacco can moist after it has been opened and put into use.
  • the arrangement is placed in the lid of the tobacco box.
  • Tobacco consumers especially pipe smokers, have known the problem for a long time that soon after opening a fresh tobacco can the tobacco begins to dry out. Especially when the can is partially emptied, a greater exchange of air can take place, so that the drying of the tobacco is accelerated. Since smoking is impaired by drying out, there is a desire to keep the tobacco in a uniform, moist state during the use-up period of a tobacco can filling.
  • Humidors are generally used in bulk. They mostly consist of clay or similar porous material. You use them by drizzling them with water and placing them in the opened tobacco pack.
  • a disadvantage of such a humidor is that it has to have a relatively large volume in order to absorb the necessary amount of moisture. It is also perceived as annoying that tobacco crumbs stick to it and cause unsightly discoloration of the humidor over time.
  • a humidor is known which can be attached in the lid of a tobacco can. For this purpose, it has two elastic loops bent from wire, which are adapted to the shape of the cover so that it can snap into place.
  • a kind of tub is attached to the two wire loops, in which the actual humidifier element, a cushion made of felt, is housed.
  • the use of the described humidor according to the US patent is very limited. It is limited to use in one Storage tobacco can of a given shape and size.
  • a special bead must be provided in the edge of the lid of the tobacco box, into which the two wire loops can snap. It is therefore not possible to use this humidor in the tobacco cans commonly used as sales packages.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a simple arrangement according to the type described above, with the aid of which good tobacco moisture can be guaranteed and which can be attached to any tobacco jars such as are customary for the delivery of tobacco.
  • This object is achieved by an arrangement which is characterized in accordance with claim 1.
  • the arrangement according to the invention has the advantage over the humidors to be inserted into the tobacco in bulk that any type of humidifier element can be used, i.e. not only those made of solid porous materials such as clay and the like, but also made of flexible, deformable materials such as felt , Sponge, etc., which require a smaller volume to absorb a certain amount of moisture than the solid porous substances.
  • a film made of magnetically polarized material is used as the fastening means, which ensures that the arrangement can be attached to the lid of a tobacco can in a simple manner.
  • Another option is to use an adhesive film as a fastener.
  • a very favorable embodiment of the invention is seen in that the upper side of the housing is made of ribs arranged parallel to one another, the mutual spacing of which is small compared to the thickness of the ribs, so that the gap given by the spacing on the one hand shapes the passage of moisture and on the other hand however prevents the ingress of tobacco crumbs. It has proven to be very expedient to arrange the ribs offset with respect to adjacent ribs in the direction perpendicular to the base plate; further refinements of the invention are mentioned in the subclaims. In all cases, the arrangement consists of only a few easily producible parts, so that large-scale production is inexpensively possible.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 on an enlarged scale consists of a circular base plate 12, a fastening means in the form of a magnetic film 14 permanently attached to its underside, a housing 16 and a suction body 18 enclosed by base plate 12 and housing 16.
  • FIG. 3 A section along the line III - III, shows that the arrangement 10 is attached by means of the magnetic sheet 14 in the lid 20 of a tobacco can.
  • Magnetic film 14 is a commercially available film made of magnetizable material, which has a polarization in certain patterns, for example parallel lines, and is thus suitable for producing adhesive bonds with magnetizable surfaces.
  • the housing 16 is composed of an outer annular region 24 which is slightly curved outwards and an inner circular region 26 which is enclosed by the latter.
  • the surface of the housing 16 in the outer region 24 is divided into ribs 28 and 29 which run parallel to one another and which alternate Sequence and mutually offset in the direction perpendicular to the base plate 12 are arranged. The offset is such that gaps 30 are formed between adjacent edges of the ribs 28 and 29, i.e. they form a defined passage for moisture and at the same time prevent tobacco crumbs from entering the interior of the housing.
  • the surface of the housing 16 is similarly raised by ribs 32 and 33 structure.
  • the surface of the area 26 slightly recedes in relation to its border 25, so that a depression 27 is formed which can be used to introduce moisture into the interior of the housing 16.
  • the absorbent body 18 covered by the housing 16 consists of any absorbent material suitable for absorbing and releasing moisture, for example felt or sponge. Because of the design of the housing 16, materials that do not have a defined shape by nature, such as wadding or the like, can also be used for this purpose.
  • FIG. 4 shows another possibility for fastening the arrangement 10 in the lid 20 of a tobacco can.
  • an adhesive film 36 is used, which is primarily intended for single use. This is firmly glued to the top of the bottom plate 12 of the arrangement 10 on its upper side, while its underside has an adhesive layer which is protected against unintentional gluing by a removable protective film 38 in the delivery state.
  • the arrangement 10 according to the invention can be used in such a way that the consumer sticks it into the lid of the latter when using a fresh tobacco can after having previously filled the depression 27 with a sufficient amount of water. It is also possible that an arrangement 10 is already attached to the lid of the fresh tobacco cans intended for consumption, e.g. such as shown in FIG. 10. In this case, the consumer only needs to fill the stated amount of water into the trough 27.
