A cigarette case includes a cigarette casing including a corner outlet; a double-layer hinged cover including a first slit proximate the outlet and a second slit proximate the adjacent other corner; and a spring biased ejection means within the cover and including a pivotal L-shaped ejector, a pivotal trigger, a pivot bar, a link moveable in the first slit and including an end pusher extending through the first slit, the link having the other end pivotably secured to one portion of the ejector, and a sliding member moveable in the second slit and pivotably secured to the other end of the pivot bar, the sliding member including a door extending through the second slit to block the outlet when the case is closed. Pivoting the trigger will pivot the pivot bar to move the sliding member and the link to cause the pusher to eject a cigarette from the outlet.

What is claimed is: 1. A cigarette case comprising: a casing for containing a plurality of cigarettes arranged parallel in a row and including a front end having two corners and an outlet at one corner of the front end, wherein a bottom of the casing is inclined forward; a cover having a rear end hingedly connected to the casing and including an outer covering plate and an inner separation plate including a first slit in proximity to the outlet when the cigarette case is closed, the first slit having two ends, and a second slit in proximity to the other corner of the front end of the casing and having two ends; and ejection means mounted in a first space defined by the covering plate and the separation plate and including an L-shaped ejector pivotably secured to the covering plate, the elector having two portions, a trigger fixed to a joining point of one portion of the ejector and the other portion of the ejector, the trigger being pivotably mounted on a top of the covering plate, a pivot bar having two ends, the pivot bar pivotably secured to the covering plate and including a downward extending stop member at one end, the stop member being adapted to engage with one end of one portion of the ejector in an inoperative position of the ejection means, a first elastic member interconnecting one end of the pivot bar and a first position of the other portion of the ejector, a link moveably mounted in the first slit and having two ends, the link including a bent pusher at one end, the pusher extending through the first slit into a second space defined by the casing and the separation plate, the other end of the link pivotably secured to one end of one portion of the ejector, and a sliding member moveably mounted in the second slit and pivotably secured to the other end of the pivot bar, the sliding member including a door extending through the second slit into the second space to block the outlet when the cigarette case is closed, whereby clockwise pivoting the trigger will pivot the pivot bar to move the sliding member from one end of the second slit to the other end of the second slit to open the outlet, move the link from one end of the first slit to the other end of the first slit to cause the pusher to eject a portion of the cigarette aligned with the outlet from the outlet, and compress the first elastic member after the sliding member reaching the other end of the second slit. 2. A cigarette case comprising: a casing including two sides, a front end having two corners, an outlet at one corner of the front end, and a locking unit at a rear portion of either side of the casing, the locking unit including a spring biased button upwardly projecting, the button including a latch laterally projecting into a first space defined by the casing; a cover having a rear end hingedly connected to the casing and including an outer covering plate and an inner separation plate including a first slit in proximity to the outlet when the cigarette case is closed, the first slit having two ends, and a second slit in proximity to the other corner of the front end of the casing and having two ends; a U-shaped frame mounted in the first space and having two sides in proximity to both sides of the casing, the frame including a resilient member extending to connect to a rear end of the casing, and two locking members at both corners, each locking member including a recess and a slot at a blind end of the recess; and ejection means mounted in a second space defined by the covering plate and the separation plate and including an L-shaped ejector pivotably secured to the covering plate, the ejector having two portions, a trigger fixed to a joining point of one portion of the ejector and the other portion of the ejector, the trigger being pivotably mounted on a top of the covering plate, a pivot bar having two ends, the pivot bar pivotably secured to the covering plate and including a downward extending stop member at one end, the stop member being adapted to engage with one end of one portion of the ejector in an inoperative position of the ejection means, a first elastic member interconnecting one end of the pivot bar and a first position of the other portion of the ejector, a link moveably mounted in the first slit and having two ends, the link including a bent pusher at one end, the pusher extending through the first slit into the first space, the other end of the link pivotably secured to one end of one portion of the ejector, and a sliding member moveably mounted in the second slit and pivotably secured to the other end of the pivot bar, the sliding member including a door extending through the second slit into the first space to block the outlet when the cigarette case is closed, wherein a plurality of parallel cigarettes are adapted to store in a portion of the first space between the frame and the front end of the casing in response to pushing the frame toward the rear end of the casing by compressing the resilient member until the latch enters the recess to lockingly engage with the slot; wherein the cover is adapted to close onto the casing to depress the button and retract the latch outward to clear the slot; and wherein in response to clockwise pivoting the trigger, the pivot bar pivots to move the sliding member from one end of the second slit to the other end of the second slit to open the outlet, the link moves from one end of the first slit to the other end of the first slit to cause the pusher to eject a portion of the cigarette aligned with the outlet from the outlet, and the first elastic member compresses after the sliding member reaching the other end of the second slit.
