- the message 12 is fashioned in a three dimensional composition so that the lettering "XYZ Co.” is protruding outward from the medium 1.
- the entire medium 1 may additionally be fashioned in a two or three dimensional manner.
- the medium 1 may be a miniature three dimensional model such as a beer mug, shown in FIG. 8, or a three dimensional character formation, as shown in FIG. 9.
- the medium may be fashioned in the form of a retaining pouch, as shown in FIG. 10. It is noteworthy that in all of these configurations, the medium 1 has a front surface 5 and back surface 7.
- a two or three dimensional medium surface may be utilized over a flat one for various reasons including, but not limited to, advertisement purposes (as it may be more eye-catching) , gripping purposes, and/or preferred aesthetic appearances.
- the holding device need not utilize a band 10 for retaining a cigarette lighter or other small object. Any type of element that is capable of gripping and/or holding a cigarette lighter and/or other type of compact article (s) may be utilized.
- this can be a retaining pouch, as shown in FIG. 10, as well as a clamp, snap-into receptacle, or male/female Velcro strips.
- the holding element comprises a band 10, as shown in Fig. 1, that is made out of elastic, rubber, or other flexible material.
- a band 10 that is made out of elastic, rubber, or other flexible material.
- an elastic band provides a strong holding mechanism that would keep a cigarette lighter and/or other small object secured to the cigarette box 16, despite movement factors such as removal and insertion of the cigarette box 16 to and from a pocket. This is indicated in FIG. 5 where the butane lighter is tightly held abuttingly to the cigarette box.
- an elastic band is compact which allows it to easily be enclosed in and attached to the medium 1, for example, as with the closed book formation shown in FIG. 2.
- an elastic band is very versatile in use as it can hold most compact objects (e.g.
- an elastic band is simple and inexpensive to manufacture. It is further preferred that the band 10 shown, for example, in FIGS. 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, and 17 be attached to the medium 1. Attachment of the band 10 to the medium 1 can be accomplished by use of an adhesive compound, such as glue or tape, as per reference character 11, grip clips/clamp (not shown) , or other known methods that would hold the two components together. Furthermore, attachment can be permanent or non-permanent wherein the band 10 may be detached and reattached to the medium 1 (e.g. as is the case with use of Velcro) .
- attachment of the band 10 to the medium 1 may be at any location point or points on the medium 1, the band 10, or a combination thereof.
- the point or points for attachment would be in a location that does not block or interfere with any message that may be located on or within the medium 1.
- the attachment location may be at a point right above the message ("XYZ Co.") 12.
- attachment can be at one or more points located below, to the left, or the right of the message. In light of this, therefore, it is of course, understood that many variations will be apparent to one skilled in the art.
- the holding device serves both as a holder for keeping a cigarette lighter or other compact object together with a cigarette box, as well as a platform for displaying a message.
- This is extremely significant for a number of reasons.
- the smoker and those around them become potential targets for the message presented on or within the medium 1.
- the cigarette box may be left on the dining table for hours throughout the course of a meal. During this time, it is very likely that many of those around the table would spend a good portion of that time glancing and staring at the box, thereby noticing the message displayed on the attached medium 1. It is noteworthy to mention that given the utility of the holding device, smokers would likely be motivated to place the medium 1 on their cigarette boxes. It therefore ensues that once attached to a cigarette box, the holding device could make the cigarette box a useful article as well as a powerful platform for delivering a message to a substantial amount of people.
- a medium 1 may also be attached to the cigarette box. This would allow for the message contained by the medium 1 to still be communicated at times where the utility of a holding element is not desired.
- a medium 1 is displayed absent a holding element.
- the medium 1 is attachable to a cigarette box (preferably by way of an adhesive backing on back side 7) and is solely provided in order to convey a message. In this case, that message may be that the slots at "XYZ CASINO" 22 result in high winnings. It is noteworthy that although FIGS.
- FIGS. 7, 8, and 9 display holding devices comprising of a holding element (such as band 10) and an attached medium 1, the holding element 10 need not be provided. Elimination of the holding element (band 10) would do away with any utility for gripping an object in an abutting manner to the cigarette box. The result would be a medium 1 fashioned/fabricated only for the purpose of conveying a message to an audience.
- the message may be a company or product name such as "XYZ CO.” 12, "JKL BEER" 12, or "XYZ" 12, respectively, presented in a three dimensional formation.
- the message may similarly, be a company name such as "XYZ CASINO" 22 presented in an electronically optical manner.
- the message is shown as an audible slogan such as "Marlboro” 25, while a mechanical display such as a slot machine is shown in FIG. 15, as previously mentioned.
- band 10 may be used as a means of attaching the medium 1 to the cigarette box despite its additional utility as a holding element.
- the mediums shown in FIGS. 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, and 14 may have an attached band 10, yet still be fashioned for the purpose of conveying a message, irrespective of a holding utility.
- a distinctly notable aspect of this invention is a "stand alone"/independent utility for delivering a message (s) to an audience whereby the message (s) is contained within a medium that is attachable to a cigarette box.
- front surface 5 contains a message depicting "XYZ Co.” 12.
- the message 12 is only shown on front surface 5, it of course, can be placed on front surface 4 as well.
- the same or a different message may also be placed on back surface (s) 6 and/or 7. This is shown in FIG. 2, where a different message depicts the imprint "Cig Tag" 13, which, in this case, may be a possible company or product logo for the medium 1.
- the message (s) placed on the medium 1 may be a pictorial, holographic, text, and/or other type of graphic image, or a combination thereof.
- the message (s) may also be a fashioned composition, such as a two or three dimensional form that is comprised of various materials, such as, but not limited to plastic, metal, fiberglass, polymer, fiber, rubber, elastic, gel, paper, wood, glass, etc.
- FIGS. 6 and 7 both display the message "XYZ Co.” 12. The difference between the two, however, is that the message 12 in FIG. 6 is printed while that shown in FIG. 7 is a three dimensional composition comprised out of construction material such as plastic.
- the message (s) on the medium 1 may be comprised of graphic, stationary, and/or any other type of construction material, as mentioned above. It is noteworthy that the message (s) may also be electronically generated by way of visual means, audible means, motorized means, or a combination of the three. In other words, the medium 1 may electronically present the message via use of a luminous display, an audible mechanism, and/or a motorized mechanism. Presenting the message in this manner is extremely advantageous since doing so would highly increase the chances of it being noticed by the smoker and/or those nearby, thus, increasing awareness of the message.
- a microprocessor integrated into either the optical, audible, and/or motorized message (s) circuitry may provide means for delivering the message in a pre-determined, controlled, and/or desired manner.

- medium 1 be configured in a "closed book” enclosure formation since such would be advantageous in distribution, handling, and protection of the holding device and/or medium.
- medium 1 may be folded along vertical perforation 9 to render it in the "closed book” formation.
- back surfaces 6 and 7, respectively become the front and reverse outer handling surfaces of the medium 1, with edge 8 forming an outer side surface.
- the medium 1 can thereafter be detachably sealed along any of its edges so as to keep it in the "closed book” formation.
- the medium 1 can come in an "open - no fold" formation, as is shown in FIGS. 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15. It is of course understood, that in such a case, holding devices 200 as per FIG. 6, 300 as per FIG. 8, 400 as per FIG. 9, 500 as per FIG. 10, 600 as per FIG. 11, 700 as per FIG. 12, 800 as per FIG. 13, 900 as per FIG. 14, and the medium 1 as per FIG.
- Attachment of the medium 1 directly on the cigarette box 16 or the cellophane wrapping, which may be present around the box 16, can be accomplished in a number of ways. Placing an adhesive backing on the back surface (s) of the medium 1 is one conceivable method of doing this. As illustrated in FIG. 3 and referenced in FIGS. 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 back surface 7 of medium 1 may have a peel away backing 14 which could be removed to reveal an adhesive surface 15 underneath.
- the adhesive layer 15 may be placed on the entire back surface 7 or a select portion of it.
- an adhesive backing is the preferred method of attaching the medium 1 to cigarette box 16 since such would securely affix the two together.
- other methods known in the art including attachment via clips or a strap such as band 10, are also contemplated.
- an adhesive attachment although preferred, may not even be needed.
- the elastic band vis-a-vis the band 10 of holding devices 100, 200, 300, 400, 600, 700, 800, and 900
- Attachment in this manner would likely be the case with holding devices such as those shown in FIGS. 8 and 9.
- band 10 can act as both the mechanism used for attaching the medium 1 to the cigarette box 16 as well as that which is used to grip compact objects.
- band 10 may simply act as the mechanism for attaching a medium 1, independent of a holding element, to a cigarette box 16, as previously mentioned.
- the medium 1 of FIGS. 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, and 14, for example may also contain an adhesive backing to allow for a stronger attachment to the cigarette box 16. This, however, is not required.
- attachment of holding devices 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800 and 900 to cigarette box 16 can also be accomplished via the use of clips located on back surface 6 or 7 which could dig into cigarette box 16.
- attachment can also be removably affixed, such as where Velcro is used to allow for attachment and re- attachment.
- the holding device in this disclosure mainly focuses on an apparatus for securing a cigarette lighter 17 to a cigarette box 16, it is wholly contemplated that such a holding device can also be used to secure other compact objects to the cigarette box 16.
- Such objects may include, but are not limited to money, writing utensils, paper slips, keys, medical drugs, make-up articles and accessories, pouches, wallets, identification cards, debit cards, etc.
- any of these objects can be gripped by the holding device (S) of this invention anywhere along the circumference of the cigarette box 16.
- the holding device of this invention can provide the user with an apparatus capable of holding most compact objects in an abutting manner to the cigarette box 16. This will help the user keep their items close within reach while exposing them and others to the message (s) contained on the medium 1. Additionally, given the ability to convey messages through the medium attached to a cigarette box, this invention is likewise noted for its method of displaying messages by way of rendering medium 1 independent of a holding element. While the present invention has been described with regards to particular embodiments, it is recognized that additional variations of the present invention may be devised without departing from the inventive concept.
