Cigarette case with lid ejector

Abstract

The present invention discloses a cigarette ejection system comprising a container with an opening, a lid capable of closably covering the opening, a strand connected to the lid, and a lifter connected to the strand.

1 . A cigarette ejection system, comprising:
 a container with an opening;   a lid capable of closably covering the opening;   a strand connected to the lid; and   a lifter connected to the strand.   
     
     
         2 . the system of  claim 1 , where the opening is capable of being exposed by moving the lid. 
     
     
         3 . the system of  claim 2 , where the lid slidably uncovers the opening. 
     
     
         4 . the system of  claim 2 , where the strand connects the lid with the lifter. 
     
     
         5 . the system of  claim 2 , where the lifter is positioned opposite to the opening. 
     
     
         6 . the system of  claim 2 , where a rollbar is affixed near the opening. 
     
     
         7 . the system of  claim 6 , where the rollbar is substantially parallel to the strand. 
     
     
         8 . the system of  claim 7 , wherein the strand and a second strand form a pair of strands connected to the lid. 
     
     
         9 . the system of  claim 7 , where the strand spans more than one-half the height of the container. 
     
     
         10 . the system of  claim 7 , wherein the lifter is substantially planar to the opening. 
     
     
         11 . the system of  claim 7 , further comprising a pair of grooves within the container. 
     
     
         12 . the system of  claim 11 , where the pair of grooves is near the lid. 
     
     
         13 . the system of  claim 11 , wherein the rollbar is affixed between the pair of grooves. 
     
     
         14 . the system of  claim 13 , wherein the rollbar and the pair of grooves are positioned near the opening and under the lid. 
     
     
         15 . the system of  claim 13 , further comprising a plurality of grip marks on the lid. 
     
     
         16 . the system of  claim 13 , further comprising a clip attached to the container. 
     
     
         17 . the system of  claim 16 , wherein the clip is rotatable by at least 15 degrees. 
     
     
         18 . A cigarette ejection system, comprising:
 a container with an opening;   a lid capable of closably covering the opening;   a pair of strands connected to the lid;   a rollbar affixed near the opening; and   a lifter connected to the pair of strands.   
     
     
         19 . the system of  claim 18 , wherein the pair of strands is capable of moving past the rollbar when the lid is opened. 
     
     
         20 . the system of  claim 19 , wherein the rollbar is parallel to the pair of strands.
