Description

The invention relates to a tipping ashtray, in particular for vehicles, the ash container of a Bearing is held spring-loaded in a receptacle, wherein a bearing part is designed as a spring

DE-AS 1102 587 shows a tipping ashtray with a bearing part designed as a spring. In this known tilting ashtray, the ash container from the Recording for the purpose of emptying can be removed by first opposing the ash container the force of the bearing part designed as a spring is pressed down into the receptacle. This will skipped a latch holding the ash container in the open tilted position, so that the ash container can be removed from the front of the receptacle.

Another by the DE-GM 18 69 881 become known Tipper ashtray, primarily for motor vehicles, consisting of an ashtray housing and one in the housing insertable ash container and in which a spring for holding the ash container in the Ash housing is provided, has the peculiarity that the ash container on the front lower edge has an inwardly and downwardly directed edge portion which extends into an upwardly open incision of the Ashtray housing or its frame engages, and that the spring attached to the top of the ash container with the spring arm engages below the latching positions located on the upper inside of the ashtray housing. The effect of these known measures is that the is in the open position Ash container can be pulled out of the ashtray housing by simply pulling up on the edge of the lid.

Such an effect is also given in a tipping ashtray according to US Pat. No. 23,11968. This one owns one Ash container, the side walls of which are provided with an elongated recess or groove, into the engage the pins riveted to the ashtray housing. The ash container has one to the bottom on the back directed conical taper with which it strikes against a spring, which in cooperation with the Pins acts as a stop that holds the ash container in the tilted outward position. In this The ash container can position, as shown in dashed lines in FIG. 5 of this publication, obliquely upwards can be pulled out of the ashtray housing for emptying.

The known tipping ashtrays described in more detail above have an ash container together in common, which can be unlocked against the force of a spring and then removed from the ashtray housing However, in none of the known tilting ashtrays is an arrangement of the ash container in the ashtray housing realized with the z. B. In the event of an impact on the ash container, injuries are prevented or reduced will. Because in the event of a collision of a vehicle occupant on the open in the position of use The ash container cannot move in the direction of the load, causing serious injuries whose protruding corners and edges are possible. The purpose of the present invention is to create a Kippaschers, who z. B. to prevent or reduce injuries in rear-end collisions

Accordingly, the object on which the invention is based is to provide a tipping ashtray of the generic type Kind to train so that the ash container in the open position with heavy load from above or is pushed diagonally above from its receptacle. This object is achieved according to the invention that the bearing parts are designed to be separable in the event of overload. This inventive measure offers the Advantage that the ash container in the usual way both in the closed and in the open Position can be transferred and removed for emptying from the receptacle and that in particular the Ash container in the event of a greater force acting on it, primarily in the event of a collision with a vehicle occupant, is instantly pushed out of its receptacle. So there is a risk that with one Impact on the ash container at the protruding corners and edges of which results in injuries considerably reduced

Further essential features and expedient refinements of the invention are set out in the subclaims 2 to 4 marked

In the drawing, the subject matter of the invention is shown in several exemplary embodiments. It shows F i g. 1 the tipping ashtray in vertical section with the opened ash container drawn in dash-dotted lines,

FIG. 2 is a partial view according to FIG. 1, the Ash container loaded from above or diagonally above is F i g. 3 and 4 each show a partial view of the tipping ashtray in modified embodiments.

In the following description of the exemplary embodiments, only those are essential for the invention Parts of the Kippascher are taken into account.

The Kippascher according to Fig. 1 has an ash container 1 which is arranged in a receptacle 2 and is held in a spring-loaded manner by a bearing 4 and by a spring 3. The spring 3 holds the ash container 1 in the closed or in the open position and enables the ash container 1 to be removed from the receptacle 1 by depressing its free end.

At the bottom of the ash container 1, a bearing part 5 is arranged with a bearing part 6 on the receptacle 2 cooperates. The bearing part 5 consists of an axis which is held at both ends by tabs that are formed on the ash container 1. The bearing part 6 is designed as a spring 7; it is one in its construction f> 5 leaf spring, which at one end with a fastening element 8 is attached to parts of the receptacle 2. From the mounting surface on the receptacle 2 goes the Spring 7 over an upward arc in

a bearing receptacle 9 over. This is an approximately semicircular in cross section and The elongated formation of the spring 7 which receives the bearing part S is the free end of the spring 7 blunted by a curl 10

The spring 7 has a greater, effective force than the spring 3, which holds the ash container, d. h- to get them out of their location in the direction of a larger one To change the preload, it is necessary to apply a greater force than is the case with all types of actuation the spring 3 becomes necessary. In this way it is possible to close the ash container 1 in a known manner operate, namely to open it, to close it and, for example for emptying, to be taken from the receptacle 2 without the spring 7 in its position is changed. Accordingly, the Kippascher can be handled in the usual way.

If there is now a greater force from above or diagonally above on the one in the open position Ash container 1 (dot-dash position Fig. 1), so the free end of the spring 7 is down Edge area of the receptacle 2 changed in position. The representation of the tipping ashtray in FIG. 2 has a bad changed position. From this it can be seen that the bearing part 5 of the ash container 1 does not have them supporting hold in the bearing receptacle 9, so that the ash container 1 from the receptacle 2 is pushed out downwards when a load attacks from above or at an angle from above This is used, in order to exclude the risk of injury to the endangered person on the ash container 1 in the event of a collision or at least greatly reduce it.

The F i g. 3 shows a bearing part 6, which acts as a spring 11 is formed and is first cut out from parts of the receptacle 2 and then shaped accordingly Such a training serves the purpose of at least reducing the risk of injury.

Fig.4 shows a bearing part 6 in the form of a hinge-like of the receptacle 2 associated tab 12, which by a spring 13 in the direction of their effective Position is loaded. Such a design has the same effect as the training in FIG. 1 or 2.
