The inner box 4 is composed of a substantially cylindrical body with a bottom that is similar in shape to the outer box 2 but smaller, and has an opening 13 on the top, so that it can be pulled out from the side opening 6 without falling off. Accommodated in the outer box 2.

More specifically, the inner box 4 includes: a front side wall 14 and a rear side wall 15 that are perpendicular to the direction of pulling out from the outer box 2 and are parallel to the rear side wall 9 of the outer box 2 the left side wall 16 and the right side wall 17 parallel to the left side wall 7 and the right side wall 8 of the outer box 2 ; and the bottom plate 18 parallel to the bottom plate 10 of the outer box 2 .

And, under the state that inner box 4 is accommodated in outer box 2, the front side wall 14 of inner box 4 closes the side opening 6 of described outer box 2 and constitutes the front side wall 19 of outer box 2 (referring to Fig. 1 ). And under the state that the inner box 4 is extracted from the outer box 2, the rear side wall 15 of the inner box 4 closes the side opening 6 of the outer box 2 and constitutes the front side wall 19 of the outer box 2, and Formed between the left side wall 7, the right side wall 8, the rear side wall 9, the bottom plate 10, and the rear side wall 15 of the inner box 4 of the outer box 2, the side opening 6 of the outer box 2 is formed between one side The ashtray part 20 (refer to FIG. 2 ).

In addition, regardless of whether the inner box 4 is accommodated in the outer box 2 or the inner box 4 is pulled out from the outer box 2, the outer box 2 can be covered by the cover 11 of the outer box 2. The upper opening 5 is closed.

In addition, the outer box 2 and the inner box 4 are provided with a detachment preventing mechanism for preventing the inner box 4 from falling off when the inner box 4 is pulled out from the outer box 2 . In this example, an inward locking portion 21 is provided on the end edge of the side opening 6 side of the left side wall 7 and the right side wall 8 of the outer box 2, and an inward locking portion 21 is provided on the rear side wall of the inner box 4. The two side edges of 15 are provided with locking steps 22, and when the inner box 4 is pulled out from the outer box 2, the locking steps 22 are locked on the inside of the locking portion 21, thereby preventing the inner box 4 from being pulled out from the outside. Comes off in Box 2.

In addition, guide mechanisms are provided on the outer box 2 and the inner box 4 to facilitate the extraction of the inner box 4 from the outer box 2 and the insertion of the inner box 4 into the outer box 2 . In this example, guide grooves 23 are provided on the inner surfaces of the left side wall 7 and the right side wall 8 of the outer box 2, and guide protrusions 24 are provided on the outer surfaces of the left side wall 16 and the right side wall 17 of the inner box 4. , the guide protrusion 24 of the inner box 4 is slidably fitted in the guide groove 23 of the outer box 2 .

Furthermore, the inner box 4 can accommodate the lighter 3 therein in a pluggable and detachable manner, and inside is a lighter accommodating space 25 in which the lighter 3 can be accommodated in a pluggable and removable manner. The lighter accommodation space 25 is sized to accommodate the largest lighter among the lighters 3 to be accommodated in the lighter accommodation space 25 .

Furthermore, on the left side wall 16 and the right side wall 17 , there are provided holding members 26 made of elastically deformable material for elastically pressing the lighter 3 accommodated in the lighter accommodating space 25 . The holding member 26 is set to protrude toward the interior of the inner box 4, that is, to the interior of the lighter accommodating space 25, so that the lighter 3 to be accommodated in the lighter accommodating space 25 is accommodated. When the lighter is the smallest, the lighter 3 can also be elastically crimped.

In this example, the holding member 26 is composed of a pair of first holding pieces 27 and a pair of second holding pieces 28 . More specifically, in this example, the left side wall 16 and the right side wall 17 are formed from the opening 13 to a length of about 1/3 of the height of the inner box 4, and from the left side wall 16 and the right side From the lower ends of the walls 17, the first holding pieces 27 protrude inwardly at a predetermined angle. The second holding pieces 28 protrude inwardly at predetermined angles from side ends on the diagonal lines of the front side wall 14 and the rear side wall 15 . The distance between the front ends of the pair of first holding pieces 27 and the distance between the front ends of the pair of second holding pieces 28 is set to be smaller than that of the smallest lighter 3 among the lighters 3 to be accommodated in the lighter accommodating space 25. Thickness is narrow.

Therefore, when the lighter 3 is inserted into the lighter accommodating space 25 of the inner box 4, the lighter 3 overcomes the elastic force of the pair of first holding pieces 27 and the pair of second holding pieces 28 constituting the holding member 26 to hold them together. Stretched, so as to be accommodated in the lighter accommodating space 25, for the accommodated lighter 3, the pair of first holding pieces 27 and the pair of second holding pieces 28 that are pushed away are elastically pressed together by their restoring force , so that the lighter 3 is kept in the inner box 4 . Moreover, as the lighter 3 that is held by the holding member 26 in the inner case 4, as long as it is within the elastic deformation range of the pair of first holding pieces 27 and the pair of second holding pieces 28 constituting the holding member 26, , even if the size and shape are different, the elastically deformed pair of first holding pieces 27 and the pair of second holding pieces 28 can be reliably held by elastic pressure contact.

Fig. 8 is a perspective view showing the lighter containing box with an ashtray in the state where the inner box is pulled out; Fig. 9 is a sectional view taken along line C-C of Fig. 8 when no lighter is contained in the inner box; Fig. 10 is when a lighter is accommodated in the inner box C-C of Fig. 8 is to sectional view (lighter is represented with single dotted line).

Regarding the lighter housing case 30 with an ashtray of this example, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same components as those of the first example above, and the description thereof will be omitted, and only the configurations different from the first example will be described.

The lighter housing box 30 with an ashtray of this example is provided with a holding member 26 on the left side wall 16 and the right side wall 17 of the inner box 4, and the holding member 26 is made of elastically deformable material similarly to the first example. The material is formed to elastically press the lighter 3 accommodated in the lighter accommodation space 25 . The holding member 26 protrudes toward the interior of the inner box 4, that is, the interior of the lighter accommodating space 25, so that the smallest lighter 3 among the lighters 3 to be accommodated in the lighter accommodating space 25 is accommodated. , the lighter 3 can also be elastically crimped.

In this example, the holding member 26 is constituted by a pair of holding protrusions 31 . More specifically, in this example, two cutouts are formed in the vertical direction at about the middle and opposite positions of the left side wall 16 and the right side wall 17 in the vertical direction, and the two cutouts The portion between them protrudes in an arched shape so as to be elastically deformable into the lighter accommodating space 25 , thereby forming the pair of holding protrusions 31 . The distance between the front ends of the pair of holding protrusions 31 is set to be narrower than the thickness of the smallest lighter 3 among the lighters 3 to be housed in the lighter housing space 25 .

Therefore, when the lighter 3 is inserted into the lighter accommodating space 25 of the inner box 4, the lighter 3 is held in the lighter accommodating space while being crushed against the elastic force of the pair of holding protrusions 31 constituting the holding member 26. 25, for the accommodated lighter 3, the pair of flattened holding protrusions 31 are elastically pressed together by their restoring force, so as to hold the lighter 3 in the inner box 4. Moreover, as the lighter 3 held by the holding member 26 in the inner case 4, as long as it is within the elastic deformation range of the pair of holding protrusions 31 constituting the holding member 26, it can be received even if the size and shape are different. The elastically deformed pair of holding protrusions are reliably held by elastic pressure contact.
