Description

CENDRIER AUTO-NETTOYANT SELF-CLEANING ASHTRAY
La présente invention concerne un cendrier conçu de telle façon que les cendres, mégots et autres déchets recueillis sont éliminés proprement, rapidement et facilement et qu'ils ne salissent pas le cendrier lui-même. Ce produit présente donc un intérêt certain pour les restaurants et hôtels notamment, qui ont un nombre important de cendriers à maintenir propres chaque jour.The present invention relates to an ashtray designed in such a way that the ashes, butts and other collected waste are disposed of cleanly, quickly and easily and that they do not dirty the ashtray itself. This product is therefore of particular interest for restaurants and hotels in particular, which have a large number of ashtrays to keep clean each day.
Les cendriers existant à ce jour ne présentent pas les mêmes avantages puisqu'ils doivent journellement être vidés de leur contenu et lavés. Plusieurs modèles sont possibles, le plus simple étant composé de deux parties, un socle et une tête changeable; le plus complexe est formé de trois parties : un socle, une partie mobile qui se pose sur ce socle et une tête changeable qui s'enclanche sur cette partie mobile et qui comporte un dispositif destiné à recueillir les déchets.The ashtrays existing to date do not have the same advantages since they must be emptied of their contents daily and washed. Several models are possible, the simplest being composed of two parts, a base and a changeable head; the most complex is made up of three parts: a base, a mobile part which is posed on this base and a changeable head which is interlocked on this mobile part and which comprises a device intended to collect waste.
La présente invention peut être réalisée en différentes tailles, formes et matières.The present invention can be made in different sizes, shapes and materials.
Sa conception sera mieux comprise à l'aide d'un mode de réalisation du modèle le plus complexe, conforme à l'invention, représenté schématiquement, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, sur les dessins ci-joints. La figure 1 est une vue en coupe centrale du socle (1). La figure 2 est une vue en coupe centrale de la partie mobile (2). La figure 3 est une vue en coupe centrale de la tête (3). La figure 4 est une vue de dessus de la tête (3) seule et la figure 5, une vue de dessus de la partie mobile (2) seule.Its design will be better understood with the aid of an embodiment of the most complex model, in accordance with the invention, shown diagrammatically, by way of nonlimiting example, in the attached drawings. Figure 1 is a central sectional view of the base (1). Figure 2 is a central sectional view of the movable part (2). Figure 3 is a central sectional view of the head (3). Figure 4 is a top view of the head (3) alone and Figure 5, a top view of the movable part (2) alone.
Selon les figures 1 à 5, le socle (1) est essentiellement conçu de façon à permettre, d'une part, l'enclanchement de la tête (3) sur sa partie supérieure, par l'intermédiaire d'une partie mobile (2) et, d'autre part, le soulèvement de cette tête (3) afin de vider le cendrier. Il comporte pour cela un évidement (4) sur sa partie supérieure qui reçoit successivement une partie mobile (2) et la base de la tête (3), ces trois éléments s'assemblant par emboîtement.According to Figures 1 to 5, the base (1) is essentially designed so as to allow, on the one hand, the engagement of the head (3) on its upper part, via a movable part (2 ) and, on the other hand, the lifting of this head (3) in order to empty the ashtray. It has for this purpose a recess (4) on its upper part which successively receives a movable part (2) and the base of the head (3), these three elements being assembled by interlocking.
Le dessous du socle (1) comporte également un évidement (5) qui permet de loger un bouton poussoir (6) et un orifice central (7) par lequel le bouton poussoir (6), solidaire de la partie mobile (2) est mis en place.The underside of the base (1) also includes a recess (5) which makes it possible to house a push button (6) and a central orifice (7) by which the push button (6), secured to the movable part (2) is put in place.
La partie mobile (2) est formée d'une partie creuse dont la forne est semblable à celle de l'évidement (4) et dont les dimensions sont légèrement inférieures à celles de cet évidement (4) pour permettre l'emboîtement. Sur la paroi interne de cette partie creuse sont fixés deux ressorts à lame de vérouillage (8) permettant la fixation de la tête (2); ces ressorts (8) sont diamétralement opposés. Le bouton poussoir (6) est solidaire de cette partie creuse; un ressort (9), circulaire par exemple, est fixé d'une part sur le bouton poussoir (8) et, d'autre part, autour de l'orifice (7).The movable part (2) is formed of a hollow part whose forne is similar to that of the recess (4) and whose dimensions are slightly smaller than those of this recess (4) to allow nesting. On the inner wall of this hollow part are fixed two springs with a locking blade (8) for fixing the head (2); these springs (8) are diametrically opposite. The push button (6) is integral with this hollow part; a spring (9), circular for example, is fixed on the one hand to the push button (8) and, on the other hand, around the orifice (7).
La tête (3), quelle que soit sa forme, est forcément creuse, puisquelle doit recevoir les déchets. Elle est recouverte, tel qu'indiqué sur la figure 3, de plusieurs couches (10) d'alliage de métal extra fin ou de toute autre matière pouvant recevoir les mégots, cendres et déchets divers. Ces couches (10) sont soit préformées et serties sur la tête (3), soit déposées par électrolyse ou catalyse. Chaque couche (10) se termine par une languette (11) qui permet de l'enlever aisément avec son contenu lorsqu'il faut vider le cendrier. Le rebord supérieur de la tête repose sur le socle (1) La tête (3) comporte deux orifices (12) et deux languettes (13) qui doivent, lorsque la tête (3) est mise en place, venir exactement au niveau des ressorts (8). Cette mise en place est facilitée par un ergot (14) qui se trouve sur le rebord rieur de la tête (3) et qui correspond avec une partie femelle (15) sur la partie mobile (2), ou par tout autre moyen de guidage, un système à rainures, par exemple. UTILISATION : Les mégots, cendres et déchets sont recueillis sur la couche (10) superficielle.The head (3), whatever its shape, is necessarily hollow, since it must receive the waste. It is covered, as shown in Figure 3, with several layers (10) of extra fine metal alloy or any other material capable of receiving cigarette butts, ashes and various waste. These layers (10) are either preformed and crimped on the head (3), or deposited by electrolysis or catalysis. Each layer (10) ends with a tongue (11) which allows it to be easily removed with its contents when it is necessary to empty the ashtray. The upper edge of the head rests on the base (1) The head (3) has two holes (12) and two tabs (13) which must, when the head (3) is in place, come exactly at the springs (8). This positioning is facilitated by a lug (14) which is located on the laughing edge of the head (3) and which corresponds with a female part (15) on the movable part (2), or by any other guide means , a grooved system, for example. USE: Butts, ashes and waste are collected on the surface layer (10).
Pour vider le cendrier, il faut aσpuyer sur le bouton poussoir (6) afin de soulever la tête et détacher la couché (10). Losqu'on lâche le bouton (6), la partie mobile (2) et la tête (3) viennent de nouveau reposer sur lé socle (1). Lorsque toutes les couches (10) ont été utilisées, une autre tête (2) est mise en place. Pour libérer la tête usagée, il suffit de repousser les ressorts (8) par les orifices (12). Une nouvelle tête (2) est alors mise en place. Elle vient s'emboîter sur la partie mobile (2) et elle est correctement positionnée grâce à l'ergot (14) et la partie correspondante (15), les languettes (13) venant alors au niveau des ressorts (8). Ces têtes seront donc commercialisées séparément. Dans la version ne comportant pas les couches (10), la tête (3) est conçue de façon à être changée chaque fois que le cendrier doit être vidé. La partie mobile (2) et le bouton poussoir (6) ne sont plus nécessaires. La fixation de la tête (3) peut être assurée directement sur le socle (1). To empty the ashtray, press the push button (6) to raise the head and detach the bench (10). When the button (6) is released, the mobile part (2) and the head (3) come to rest again on the base (1). When all the layers (10) have been used, another head (2) is put in place. To release the used head, simply push the springs (8) through the holes (12). A new head (2) is then put in place. It comes to fit on the mobile part (2) and it is correctly positioned thanks to the lug (14) and the corresponding part (15), the tongues (13) then coming at the level of the springs (8). These heads will therefore be sold separately. In the version without the layers (10), the head (3) is designed so that it is changed each time the ashtray must be emptied. The mobile part (2) and the push button (6) are no longer necessary. The head (3) can be fixed directly on the base (1).
