DE3242605A1 - Swivelable ashtray for vehicles, in particular for motor vehicles - Google Patents

Abstract

The application relates to a swivelable ashtray for vehicles, in particular for motor vehicles, which consists of a fixed frame component and a swivel component which is mounted rotatably in the latter and has a removable ash container with an ash inlet opening, said container being held via a clip connection and being covered in the closed position of the swivel component by means of a lid. In order to ensure, with the smallest possible constructional outlay, that the ash container is closed in a sealed manner when the ashtray is closed, there is provision according to the invention for the lid to be arranged fixedly on the upper side of the frame component and profiled in such a way that when the swivel component is closed it interacts in a sealing manner with the edges of the ash inlet opening.

Description

"Swiveling ashtray for vehicles,

especially for motor vehicles "The invention relates to a pivotable Ashtrays for vehicles, in particular for automobiles, consisting of a fixed frame part and a pivoting part rotatably mounted in this one consists of a Removable ash container with a clip connection and an ash insertion opening has, which is covered in the closed position of the pivoting part via a cover is.

A known ashtray of this type has a pivotable one Lid that rises when the pivoting part is opened under spring force and which is pushed back when the pivoting part is closed. Such a construction is complex and expensive. In addition, the known lid has in the area of the ash deposit opening only a flat surface through which a tight seal of this opening is in no way guaranteed. This is even more true than the whole lid is relatively large, so that even with a slight distortion of the cover or the Top of the pivoting part, the sealing effect is further deteriorated.

The present invention was therefore based on the object of a simple and indicate inexpensive deodorant design that ensures a perfect sealing effect, so that no ash parts, especially when the pivoting part closes suddenly be thrown into the interior of the vehicle.

In the case of a swiveling ashtray, this task is as defined at the beginning Genus solved according to the invention in that the lid is firmly attached to the top of the Frame part is arranged and profiled so that it is when the pivot part is closed cooperates sealingly with the edges of the ash deposit opening.

A particularly good sealing effect is achieved in an embodiment of the invention achieved in that the cover has edge areas that are closed when the Extend the swivel part into the ash slot.

Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are the other Refer to the claims.

The object of the invention is to be based on one in the Drawing illustrated embodiment will be explained in more detail.

In the drawing, Fig. 1 shows a vertical section through a ashtrays according to the invention in the closed state, Fig. 2 a Section corresponding to FIG. 1 with the ashtray open, and FIG. 3 shows a plan view the swivel part with indicated cover.

The ashtray according to the invention consists essentially of a e.g. Fixed frame part 1 fastened to an instrument panel of a motor vehicle , which is preferably designed as Blechpre2-part, and one stored therein Pivoting part 2 in which an ash container 3 is removably arranged.

The pivoting part 2 is guided in the frame part 1 via the side Guide cams 4, which cooperate with guide pins, rollers or the like on the frame part 1.

The ash container3 with an ash slot on its top 5 has is on its rear side by tongues 6 and on its front side a resilient nose 7 which engages resiliently in a recess 8 of the ash container 3, held. A finger pressure through the opening 9 is sufficient to release this connection in the pivoting part 2 on the bottom of the ash container 3.

To seal off the ash opening 5 when it is closed Pivoting part 2, a cover 10 is attached to the top of the frame part 1, the has circumferential, profiled edge areas 11, which are located in the ash container 3 extend into it. The outwardly facing wall areas 12 of the front and rear edge areas are conical in order to close the ashtray to support.

In the illustrated embodiment, the lid is a separate, Made of plastic injection molded part and with the frame part 1 on its front by the same engaging in recesses 13 and projections on its back with a spring stick that cannot be seen in the drawing 14 jammed nose releasably connected.

However, it would be conceivable without further ado, the upper side of the frame part to design themselves so that they function of the lid due to their profiling takes over.
