Abstract
An ashtray (1), designed to constitute a complement of a packet or pack of cigarettes (2), said ashtray being configured by a pliable receiver formed by a laminar body (1), made of cardboard o similar, dimensionably next to one of the largest walls of the packet (2), the mouth of which is extended by an ample flap (14), which, on a side, is connected between the packet (2) and its sheath (21), to fix the, ashtray to the packet, and on the other side, is able to tip on the ashtray mouth, to close it, its closing position being stabilized by means of an adhesive (17) helped by a protector (18).
Description
-IMPROVED ASHTRAY
D E S C R I P T I O N
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an improved ashtray, of the kind of those used for depositing ash and stubs in it, and which is able to be incorporated in the own packet of cigarettes.
RELATED ART
At the present time, different types of ashtrays are known, which are generally composed of a rigid container having a va-riable shape, some of them incorporating features which allow them to perform additional functions, such as, for example, the conventional ashtrays composed of an open container; water ash-trays including a container having a receptacle containing wa-ter inside for putting out cigarettes, and fitted with an extrac-table cover with an orifice; floor ashtrays to be mainly placedon walkways and waiting rooms; ashtrays with a tilting cover al-lowing the stubs and ashes to be deposited inside, concealing them, and so on.
All these ashtrays are designed to rest on~a table, on a co-rridor floor, a counter or any other place, and consequently they must keep astanding position which is, practically static, and are to be cleaned to be used again.
Therefore, it is clear that these ashtrays are not be concei-ved to be carried by the own smoker in a permanent way and be used in every moment. On the other side, it is usual that there are no ashtrays outdoors, so that a smoker, having no ashtray within his/her reach, he/she throws the stub and the ash on the floor, or he/she deposits them in an empty packet of cigarettes, or within a hollow drink can or any other element available.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
To solve these problems, the improved ashtray of the inven-tion has been devised, which includes a pliable small case- or a pouch-shaped receiver, fitted with a tippable flap conforming positioning means thereof on the packed of cigarettes, or means for closing the receiver, depending, respectively, on the fact that said flap folds towardsthe back side of the receiver, or to-wards the front side thereof, over the mouth.
This ashtray, being pliable, can assume a flat shape of a re-duced thickness, and having dimensions slightly lower than those -of the largest surfaces of the packet of cigarettes, which allows the smoker to carry the ashtray incorporated in the packet of ci-garettes or even inside the outer wrapping thereof, using it when necessary.
Another advantage of this ashtray is that its cost is very re-duced, this being the reason for which it can be thrown out to-gether with its contents in a litter bin or similar, so elimina-ting the problem of cleaning it.
To prevent the receiver flap to open once the ashtray has been used so pouring out its content, it has been devised that the flap or the receiver surface on which the flap falls to open it, define an adhesive area covered by a protecting sheet which-keeps the flap in a close position.
The receptable of the ashtray is preferably composed of a lami-nar element, having a heat resistance enough to allow the cigaret-tes bo be put out on the same.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
In order to complement this description and aid to a better understanding of the features of the invention, the accompanying drawings, which are a part of this specification, show in an il-lustrative but non limitative sense, the following:
Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the improved ashtray semi-folded, with the flap folded towards the rear side.
Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the ashtray in an unfol-folded position, with the flap folded towards the front side, soclosing the receiver.
Figure 3 is a view of the ashtray fixed, by means of the flap, on the packet of cigarettes.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
As can be seen from the figures, the improved ashtray has a re-ceiver (1), shaped starting from a laminar element, preferably ma-de of cardboard, defining an upper mouth (11) and folding lines(12), shown by means of dotted lines, allowing the largest surfa-ces of the receiver (1) to be incorporate, in order that the re-ceiver assumes a flat shape, its volume being reduced until its use, this being the moment when it will unfold.
The back side (13) of the receiver is extended by the end de-limiting the mouth (11) by a flap (14) having two folding lines (15) and (16), which are parallel.
The flap (14) can fall on the folding line (15) towards the rear side or towards the frontside of the receiver (1), shaping in the first case positioning means of the ashtray on a packet (2) of cigarettes, the flap being inserted between the packet (2) and the outer wrapping (21) thereof (Fig. 3), and in the second case, closing means for the receiver mouth (11).
-~ - 5 -When the flap (14) folds towards the front side of the recei-ver, the folding line (16) allows said flap to fit tight the -mouth (11), so closing it.
To assure the closing of the ashtray once it has been utili-zed, the flap (14) has, in the side contacting the front surface of the receiver (1), an adhesive area (17), covered by a protec-ting strip (18), which is to be removed before closing the ash-tray.
It is not considered necessary to extend more this description for an expert in the art to understand the æcope of the invention and the advantages derived from it.
The terms under which this specification has been described -should be always taken in an ample and non limitative sense.
The materials, shape, size and arrangement of the components are open to variation, provided that it does not imply any alte-ration to the essence of the invention, which are claimed as fol-lows.
