Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2008139128A1] Apparatus for extinguishing and storing a cigarette butt, apparatus comprising, a tubular member (3) having the same diameter and wall thickness' throughout its length, two substantially identical end caps (2) for sealingly engaging with the tubular member (3), the tubular member (3) having an inner diameter slightly larger than the diameter of a cigarette, whereby the tubular member and the two end caps (2) when engaged form an airtight enclosure, each end cap (2) having a maximum outer diameter equal to or slightly greater than the outer diameter of the tubular member (3), the apparatus being of an overall length less than or equal to the length of a relevant cigarette. In use, after smoking a cigarette an end cap (2) may be removed from the tubular member (3), and the cigarette butt inserted into the inside of the tubular member (3), the end cap then being sealingly engaged with the tubular member (3) whereby the cigarette butt will be extinguished by a lack of oxygen, and the apparatus may be inserted into the cigarette packet to replace the smoked cigarette.
