Cigarette rolling paper dispenser

Abstract

A cigarette rolling paper dispenser is adapted to store tip blanks for using in reinforcing the mouth end of hand-rolled cigarettes. The dispenser is formed from a generally rectangular blank of stiff card. Lateral hinge lines divide the area of the blanks into multiple panels. One sets of panels are configured to fold into a conventional rolling paper compartment. Another set of panels define an integrally connected set of tip panels. Longitudinal tear lines extending across all the tip panels divide each panel into a set of rectangular tear-off tip blanks. The tip panels fold into a compact accordioned stack, which locates conveniently with the dispenser, when the later is folded to a compact state.

We claim:  
     
         1 . In a cigarette rolling paper dispenser formed from a planar blank, the blank comprising a multiplicity of lateral hinge lines spaced to define a multiplicity of panels., the multiplicity of panels comprising a first set of rectangular panels configured to define a rolling paper compartment, the first set of panels comprising a pair of identical cover panels adjacent to one another, one of the cover panel comprising an inner face against which the rolling paper compartment is located, the improvement in which the dispenser provides a supply of rectangular, tear-off reinforcing strips for use with rolling papers contained in the rolling paper compartment, the multiplicity of rectangular panels comprising a second set of identical strip panels extending from a lateral side edge of the other of the cover panels and having a longitudinal width nor greater than the lateral wide of the cover panels, each adjacent pair of the strip panels joined by a lateral tear line extending fully between lateral edges of the blank, each of the strip panels comprising a set of longitudinal tear lines defining a plurality of the reinforcing strips.  
     
     
         2 . The dispenser of  claim 1  in which the blank comprising a rectangular bridging panel extending between a lateral side edge of one of the panels and an adjacent lateral side edge of the other cover panel, the bridging panel having corresponding to the longitudinal width of the cover panel such that the tear strip panels fold into a struck against the inner face of the other cover panel for location between the other cover panel and the compartment.
