Cigarette extinguishing and storage device

Abstract

This invention resides in an air and watertight portable container for carrying and extinguishing a cigarette. The container comprises an elongated cylindrical tube having a closed end and an open end disposed opposite the closed end for receiving an ignited cigarette; said open end has female threads for removably receiving a mating set of male threads connected to a cap, wherein the cap contains an O-ring located on a seat between the upper portion of the male threads and the bottom portion of a lip located on said cap.

I claim  
     
         1 . A device for holding and rapidly extinguishing a cigarette which comprises: an elongated cylindrical tube having a closed end and an open end disposed opposite the closed end for receiving an ignited cigarette; wherein the open end contains female threads for removably receiving male threads contained on a cap, wherein said cap contains protruding male threads on a seat between the top of the male threads and the bottom of the cap, and O-ring fitting around the seat of the cap for hermetically sealing said device.  
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the elongated cylindrical tube contains an inside diameter that is slightly larger than the outside diameter of a cigarette.  
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the outside diameter of the seat located on the cap is slightly larger than the inside diameter of the O-ring.  
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the cap contains a lip which is slightly larger than the seat and protruding from the bottom of said cap.  
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 4 , wherein the lip of the cap is substantially equal to the outside diameter of the elongated, cylindrical tube.  
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the cap of said device contains a protrusion on the top portion thereof.  
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 6 , wherein the protrusion on the top portion thereof contains a circular hole for receiving a first connector.  
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 7 , wherein a second connector connects with the first connector.  
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the second connector removably connects with a necklace.  
     
     
         10 . A device for holding and hermetically sealing pills therein which comprises: 
 An elongated cylindrical tube having a closed end and an open end disposed opposite the closed end for receiving protruding male threads on the cap, said cap containing a seat between the top of the male threads and the bottom of the cap for receiving the O-ring.
