Abstract

The utility model discloses an ashtray provided with a central ash storing pond and an upright wall. The wall of the ashtray is provided with an inner surface and an outer surface. One corner of the wall of the ashtray is provided with an inner surface having an oblique angle, which enables the width of the wall to become bigger and form a platform. Four corners are provided with four grooves which lie across the width of the wall of the ashtray. The bottom of each of the grooves slopes downwards from the inner surface of the wall of the ashtray to the outer surface of the wall of the ashtray. In order to enhance safety, each groove which is close to the outer surface of the wall of the ashtray is provide with a tapered part. Each side wall of the groove converges gradually towards the outer surface. Besides, the opening of the groove, which is positioned on the outer surface of the wall of the ashtray, is tapered from top to bottom.

Description

Ashtray

The present invention relates to a kind of improvement structure of ashtray.

Common ashtray is a kind of dish-shaped container, and some cigarette ash casing walls are provided with the recess that is used for clamping cigarette, but its gripping performance still remains to be improved.

One of purpose of the present invention provides a kind of ashtray, and the cigarette clamping of wherein firing must be more firm, in addition, can be extinguished if the cigarette of wherein firing stays put.

Generally say according to the present invention, a kind of ashtray is provided, have central authorities and contain ashpit, limit by upright casing wall, casing wall has the contiguous peripheral inner surface of ashpit and the outer peripheral edge surface that is spaced from contained, be provided with one or more across the casing wall width and in wall top surface place and receive the groove of putting cigarette, each bar groove has from peripheral casing wall inner surface to the downward-sloping bottom of peripheral casing wall outer surface, and wherein the degree of depth of each bar groove is greater than its width in the bottom, and groove has tapering from the open top of groove to its bottom near an end of peripheral cylinder wall outer surface.

Preferably, stretching also with it towards peripheral casing wall outer surface, the part of contiguous groove progressively reduces width and forms tapering along the direction towards peripheral casing wall outer surface.

According to structure of the present invention, groove partly only constitutes clamping device for cigarette at the opening of peripheral casing wall outer surface by means of each band tapering of groove, this clamping realizes gradually, unlikely damage cigarette, however, still very blocked cigarette reliably, do not allowed it longitudinally slide at least in the groove the inside.The size of groove, particularly at the inner surface place of peripheral casing wall, arrange: when holding the import department that reaches groove, firing of a cigarette will extinguish because of anoxic.So, ashtray according to the invention it seems just have two important characteristics from safety point of view: first groove is so as to making the structure of the cigarette extinction of firing, its two be at groove the outside, cigarette is adequately held to avoid cigarette to drop out from ashtray and causes dangerous situation.

The both sides of casing wall end face upper groove can only put wherein cigarette relatively making chamfering by on the part of lining.

In a kind of optimum structure, the bottom of groove is downward-sloping to outer surface from the inner surface that defines casing wall.This can turning over when its center of gravity changes because of the cigarette burnup with regard to the cigarette of firing of guaranteeing to be seated in the groove the inside.

In order to make the present invention further also obtain better understanding, referring now to showing a structure embodiment in the accompanying drawing for example.

Fig. 1 shows a kind of perspective top view of front of ashtray,

Fig. 2 show observe along the arrow A direction, the perspective top view of ashtray among Fig. 1,

Fig. 3 shows a groove of watching from the lip-deep tapping of outer periphery casing wall, B irised out Fig. 1,

Fig. 4 shows the planar top view of another groove that C irised out among Fig. 2.

With reference to accompanying drawing as seen, ashtray has central authorities and contains ashpit 1, is limited by the upstanding wall portion 2 that is the rectangle plane shape basically.The periphery casing wall has inner surface 3 and outer surface 4.Have oblique angle inner surface 3a at the Yi Jiaochu of peripheral casing wall 2, thereby thickeied Na Yijiao, make wall portion width bigger, form a platform.On four angles, four grooves 5 across the stretch wide of peripheral casing wall 2, its configuration mode is: the bottom 6 of each bar groove is 4 downward-sloping from peripheral casing wall inner surface 3 to peripheral casing wall outer surface.The bottom of each bar groove 5 has the pit 7 that holds cigarette ash near casing wall outer surface 4 places.

Each bar groove 5 is extinguished during determined groove import department can making the cigarette of firing reach or just surpass by inner surface 3 at an end that is firing near the width at peripheral casing wall inner surface place.In order to improve the degree of safety that ashtray has, each groove part has band tapering part 5a in the place near the peripheral casing wall outer surface 4 of upstanding wall portion 2, its configuration mode is: each sidewall 8 of groove surface 4 convergence gradually outward, an angle of formation reduces the width of groove gradually and forms tapering.Except this tapering that vertically extends along groove, the slot opening 5b at casing wall 2 outer surfaces 4 places has tapering along the direction from the top to the bottom.

Fig. 3 of accompanying drawing shows the end-view of the groove 5 that B irised out among Fig. 1, and this view is outer surface 4 gained of observing upstanding wall portion 2, and shows the tapering 5b that extends from the groove top to the bottom.This tapering 5b only is configured in the outer end of groove.

Fig. 4 of accompanying drawing shows in the groove 5 that C irised out among Fig. 2 than elder's plan view, shows near the tapering 5a aspect the recess width outer surface 4 of upstanding wall portion 2.

The effect of this duplex is the progressively clamping action that constitutes for the Linear Leaf Speedwell cigarette, and in practicality, find, only rely on the cigarette gravity that acts on groove downwards, this clamping action generally is exactly enough, but, the smoking people applies a point pressure with finger a little to cigarette, will be strengthened, usually needn't do conscious effort and apply such pressure, as long as by cigarette has been placed on the simple motion in the groove.

So because this invention, security will improve and stops that cigarette is accidental to be dropped out from ashtray, and this security to be the smoking people needn't do conscious effort and automated provisioning.

Each side of periphery end face of casing wall 2 and groove 5 at least on partial-length 5c make chamfering in the place.Do like this and can make cigarette fall into groove 5 with comparalive ease owing to the guide function that is provided.

Only the part of groove 5 being made at the 5a place is the band tapering, can guarantee easily to fall among the groove of this end near cigarette one end of containing ashpit 1.Tapering 5a can be arranged on the long groove, on perhaps all grooves.

At peripheral inwall 3 places, the bottom of groove 5 preferably is higher than at the bottom portion of groove at peripheral outer wall 4 places about 15 millimeters.The length of groove can be between 25 and 50 millimeters, provide about 20 ° to 40 ° to descending slope.Pit 7 can be made flange shape or the lip shape, form by the inclination junction between first section of bottom portion of groove and bottom portion of groove second section, described first section downward gradient is greater than described second section downward gradient, thereby the formation junction constitutes recess (seeing Fig. 3 and 4).Another replacement way is that recess can be made of hemispheric pit.A kind of like this structure makes the Linear Leaf Speedwell cigarette only touch ashtray on 2 of inside and outside casing wall and is supported, thereby avoids being subjected to cigarette ash to pollute and the polycondensation phenomenon.
