Device for extinguishing and / or odorless storage of a cigarette.

The present invention relates to a device for extinguishing and / or odorless storage of a cigarette.

An ashtray is known to spread unwanted odors.

It is also known that it is the cigarette butts that spread the unwanted odor and not so much the ashes. The axes are odorless.

It is also known that the extinguishing of a cigarette is not always fully successful and that the smoldering cigarette butt can cause nuisance.

Another annoyance is the pollution from the cigarettes or butts thrown on the street.

A butt that ends up between the cobblestone roads is a difficult to remove contamination. Even worse stays there when a burning cigarette ends up in nature with all its negative consequences. Just think of the forest fires that damage nature every year.

Existing ashtrays do not address the above and other annoyances and environmental damage.

The present invention therefore aims to provide a solution to one or more of the aforementioned or possible other disadvantages.

2017/5191

BE2017 / 5191

To this end, the invention relates to a device for extinguishing and / or odorless storage of a cigarette, which comprises a first tube part with an inlet mouth with an inlet opening at one end and a second tube part at the other end of which the internal section or surface of the cross section in the pipe section is smaller than the largest section of the first pipe section, preferably on the side of the inlet mouth with inlet opening, and which device also comprises a third pipe section provided at the end remote from the connection of the second pipe section with the first pipe section, wherein the largest section of the third pipe section is larger than the smallest section of the second pipe section.

The technical effect consists in that the first tube part permits the simple insertion of a cigarette, while the narrowing and the narrower second tube part forms an air stop, whereby the first tube part and optionally partly also the second tube part become oxygen-poor extinguishing chambers.

The constriction also ensures that the annoying odors cannot or hardly reach the inlet mouth with inlet opening.

By pipe part is meant a length of pipe or pipe or hose or any element with preferably but not necessarily a mainly cylindrical cavity.

Internal section means the surface of the transverse section in the pipe section. It is clear that in the case of round pipe sections, the internal section or

2017/5191

BE2017 / 5191 area of the transverse section is proportional to the square of the internal radius.

The essentially cylindrical cavity, if necessary, can be straight or curved, like the internal space of a flexible hose.

The internal space need not necessarily be circular in cross section. The sections can also be oval or polygonal. Where there is a diameter, it should therefore be interpreted broadly, for example as the diameter of the smallest circle that can be provided in the cross-section.

In addition, the cross section may vary slightly and / or evolve depending on where the cross section is contemplated.

According to a preferred embodiment variant, the device is also provided with a fourth pipe section on the third pipe section, in particular on the side of the connection to the third pipe section, the internal diameter of which is constant and not smaller than the largest internal diameter of the third pipe section.

The third pipe section forms the transition to the fourth pipe section, which is de facto a storage chamber or transit chamber.

The diameter of cigarette filters can vary depending on the brand, but cigarette filters are also slightly compressible which offers margin.

The narrower or narrower second pipe section with a snug internal shape results in limited space around the

2017/5191

BE2017 / 5191 cigarette and therefore a very limited amount of oxygen which is required for the further combustion of unrelated tobacco.

Certainly in the event that one or more other cigarette butts are already present in the device, which series must be pushed further with the last butt inserted, by the extinguishing and / or the stub to be stored, the possibly still smoldering butt will be extinguished quickly due to the absence of oxygen.

However, during the first use of the device according to the invention, without additional measures, there is a large open volume that is in contact with the butt.

A dummy butt such as, for example, a conventional cigarette filter can be provided for this purpose in the first tube part near the inlet mouth.

The tube parts are preferably made of aluminum or an appropriate plastic or other suitable material that does not melt or burn, nor does it release any harmful substances by heating as a result of a possibly not immediately extinguished cigarette.

Indeed, there are many uncertain parameters and a possible accidental oxygen passage due to a deformed filter or a smaller size filter can lead to a longer quench time.

As stated, the device has an inlet opening and an outlet opening.

2017/5191

BE2017 / 5191

Discharge the discharge opening into a receptacle such as a waste bin or a jar, or into a bag or the like.

With the insight to better demonstrate the features of the invention, some preferred embodiments of a device for extinguishing and / or odorlessly storing a cigarette according to the invention, with reference to the accompanying figures, are described hereinafter without any limiting character. , at which:

figure 1 schematically represents a basic embodiment of a device for extinguishing and / or odorless storage of a cigarette according to the invention;

figures 2 show in perspective alternative embodiments of a device for extinguishing and / or odorless storage of a cigarette according to the invention.

Figure 1 shows a device 1 for extinguishing and / or odorless storage of a cigarette 2 according to the invention.

The device comprises a first pipe part 3, here with a straight axis and with a gradually decreasing internal diameter, in this embodiment decreasing from ten millimeters to seven millimeters and this over a distance of three centimeters. The first tube part 3 here comprises one cigarette butt 4.

2017/5191

BE2017 / 5191

The first tube part 3 is provided with a funnel-shaped inlet mouth with inlet opening 5 at the end shown at the top.

At the opposite end, the first pipe part 3 is provided with a second pipe part 6, the internal diameter of which corresponds substantially to the smallest internal diameter of the first pipe part 3, here seven millimeters. The second pipe section 6 here has a length of 3 centimeters.

The second pipe section 6 then merges into a third pipe section 7, here with a straight axis and of increasing internal diameter, increasing in this embodiment from seven millimeters to ten millimeters and this over a distance of one centimeter.

The third pipe section 7 then merges into a fourth pipe section 8, here designed with a curved axis and of substantially constant internal diameter, in this embodiment of ten millimeters. The length of the fourth pipe section 8 is here relatively long and is shown here with an open discharge opening 9.

In use, the discharge opening 9 is not the lowest point of the device due to the appropriately curved axis.

The operation of the device as shown in figure 1 is simple and as follows.

A burning cigarette 2 is introduced past the funnel-shaped inlet mouth with inlet opening 5 into the first tube section 3

2017/5191

BE2017 / 5191 pushed. The installation is easy thanks to the funnel shape.

The user thereby pushes the burning cigarette 2 against the last inserted now extinguished cigarette 4. It is pushed forward, together with any previous cigarette butts 4, and is slightly compressed thanks to the decreasing internal diameter.

The butt 4 which is pushed into the fourth pipe section 8 falls freely under the gravitational force and is stored in the second pipe section 8 or is pushed freely further in the case of stacking. It is thus obtained that the series of butts 4 to be pushed further in the first tube part 3 and in the second tube part 6 remains limited, so that the resistance in the pushing direction remains limited.

On the other hand, a small series of butts 4 upstream of the fourth tube section 8 makes sense since the oxygen passage from the discharge opening 9 to the burning cigarette 2 is thus cut or significantly reduced.

Indeed, the butt 4 or butts 4 in the second pipe section 6 are in a compressed state and hardly allow any oxygen to pass from the fourth pipe section 8 to the first pipe section 3.

Indeed, the reducing diameter allows the filter and / or the burning cigarette 2 to be compressed slightly to a narrower cylindrical shape and thus to ensure a squeezing co-operation between the jacket of the cigarette 2, on the one hand, and the inner jacket of the second tube section 6, on the other hand.

2017/5191

BE2017 / 5191

The discharge opening 9 here provides the possible simple discharge to a collecting reservoir or the like.

In other words, the first tube part 3 and the funnel-shaped inlet mouth with inlet opening 5 allow easy insertion, while the second tube part 6 forms an air stop, as a result of which the tube part 3 and optionally partly also the second tube part 6 become oxygen-free extinguishing chambers.

The third tube part 7 forms the transition to the fourth tube part 8, which is de facto a storage room or transit chamber.

It is clear that the sizes and proportions may vary depending on the expected diameters of the cigarettes to be extinguished and / or stored 2.

The conventional cigarettes 2 are eight millimeters in diameter and the embodiment discussed above is designed thereon. For example, for a thinner cigarette 2 with a diameter of 5 millimeters, the sizes of ten millimeters can be replaced by seven millimeters, and the sizes of seven millimeters can be replaced by four millimeters.

Figure 2 shows an alternative embodiment of a device 1 for extinguishing and / or odorless storage of a cigarette 2 according to the invention.

This embodiment differs from the embodiment shown in figure 1 in that the tube parts 3, 6, 7 and

2017/5191

BE2017 / 5191 are provided in a compact spiral-wound manner, but here optionally in an appropriate housing 10.

The housing 10 is also provided with a closure 11 and in the center of the housing 10 a void is preserved for free storage of extinguished and pushed butts 4.

This device can be used as a portable storage box for butts and / or with suitable fasteners such as Velcro it can be placed in the car.

This device can be designed as a disposable or reusable accessory. For simple emptying, the housing 10 can be made in two parts and consist, for example, of a bottom and a cover, half tube parts being provided in each of the parts, which in the closed position of the housing 10 form the tube parts.

Figure 3 shows an odorless storage invention.

another device of a cigarette alternative to embodiment extinguishing and / or the 2 according to the

This embodiment differs from the embodiment shown in figure 1 in that the tube parts 3, 6, 7 and 8 are provided in a pot 12 with removable lid 13. In the pot 12 here is provided a bag 14 in which the butts 4 can be collected when they the pipe sections 3 and 6 have run through 8.

2017/5191

BE2017 / 5191

The lid 13 is here provided with a raised stud 15 in which the first pipe part 3 is provided centrally and wherein the funnel-shaped inlet mouth with inlet opening 5 opens onto the outer wall of this stud shown at the top.

15.

It is clear that this funnel shape can be made considerably larger so that a cigarette 2 can also be inserted during smoking, such as when using an ashtray.

To this end, the funnel shape can also have some U-shaped recesses, as with a classic ashtray. Alternatively, the entire lid 13 can also take the form of a classic ashtray.

The embodiment according to figure 4 differs from the embodiment shown in figure 3 in that a second stud

Is 16 to provide on it lid 13 with great feed mouth 17 which spend on in this case a second bag 18 which also in the pot 12 is to provide.

When using this embodiment it is clear that the second stud 16 provided with a large inlet mouth 17 is ideally suited for collecting the ashes during smoking, while the funnel-shaped inlet mouth with inlet opening 5 on the pipe part 3, here provided with a first nop 15, intended to extinguish a cigarette 2 and keep it odorless.

The ash provided in the second bag 18 does not give off any unpleasant odors.

2017/5191

BE2017 / 5191

Figure 5 shows an alternative embodiment of a device 1 for extinguishing and / or odorless storage of a cigarette 2 according to the invention.

This embodiment differs from the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 and 2 in that the inlet mouth 5 is provided with a separate funnel 19, in that the tube parts 3 and 6 to 8 are here provided with a semicircular axis and here are made flexible, and because they are of the inlet mouth The distal end of the fourth pipe section 8 is provided with a bend 20 which opens onto a discharge opening 21.

The use of this variant is simple and as follows. By providing the funnel 19 accessible on the outside or on the inside of a dustbin, and by possibly letting the pipe parts 3 and 6 to 8, but certainly the discharge opening 21 open into a dustbin, an ideal accessory for a dustbin is obtained. public or semi-public domains, such as at the entrance of an airport.

The device 1 according to the invention or parts thereof can or can be integrated with the dustbin, for instance with the holder and / or the dustbin.

Alternatively, the device 1 according to the invention can be provided completely independently and replaceably on the rubbish bin.

2017/5191

BE2017 / 5191

Cigarettes 2 are quickly extinguished and stored odorless. After a relatively long course through the tubular tube parts 3 and 6 to 8, they are dumped in a garbage can for regular disposal.

This solves the problem of the contradiction that a cigarette should end up in the garbage after the cigarette 2 has been extinguished with certainty.

Note that for all of the discussed and all other possible embodiments, the first ten centimeters of the series of pipes can be both straight and curved, such as a slight S-formation or the like.

The curved or non-straight variants offer extra support to keep the cigarette 2 in the narrowed section for cigarettes 2 that are narrower than a normal cigarette 2 such as roll tobacco cigarettes, for example.

It is clear that the device for extinguishing and / or odorless storage of a cigarette 2 according to the invention can be provided in a first compartment in a box, in which a second compartment is also provided for smoking materials such as cigarettes 2 or the like, on the one hand, cigarettes and, on the other hand, without odor

Thus, whole cigarette butts 4 not consumed can be stored in the same box.

The present invention is by no means limited to the exemplary embodiment of a device 1 for extinguishing and / or odorless storage of a cigarette 2, but such device can take many forms and

2017/5191

BE2017 / 5191 dimensions are made without departing from the scope of the invention.
