Un autre brevet français FR2506571 concerne un cendrier individuel portable, constitué d'un corps principal comprenant une boíte à cendres, un couvercle permettant de vider le cendrier, et un orifice ménagé dans une plaque pour permettre l'introduction d'une cigarette allumée. L'orifice est pourvu d'éléments intérieurs agencés pour retenir une cigarette en position introduite partiellement dans la boíte a cendres.Another French patent FR2506571 relates to a portable individual ashtray, made up of a body main including an ash box, a lid to empty the ashtray, and a hole in a plate to allow the introduction of a cigarette on. The opening is provided with interior elements arranged to hold a cigarette in the inserted position partially in the ash box.

Le but de l'invention est de proposer un cendrier portable conditionné pour permettre une première utilisation après activation, et ensuite une réutilisation répétée.The object of the invention is to propose a portable ashtray conditioned to allow a first use after activation, and then reuse repeated.

A cet effet, l'invention concerne un cendrier pour fumeurs, caractérisé en ce qu'il est formé par un corps fermé par un opercule de scellage apte à être retiré pour une première utilisation, et un couvercle amovible pour la fermeture après utilisation dudit corps. To this end, the invention relates to an ashtray for smokers, characterized in that it is formed by a body closed by a sealing cap capable of being removed for first use, and a removable cover for closing after use of said body.

Avantageusement, le corps est formé d'une jupe cylindrique fermée à sa face frontale inférieure par un fond et à sa face frontale supérieure par un opercule présentant une zone d'ouverture délimitée par une ligne d'arrachage, ladite zone d'ouverture étant munie d'un moyen de préhension.Advantageously, the body is formed of a skirt cylindrical closed at its lower front face by a bottom and on its upper front face by a cover having an opening area bounded by a line tearing, said opening area being provided with means gripping.

De préférence la ligne d'arrachage est une ligne circulaire d'un rayon légèrement inférieur au rayon de la jupe cylindrique.Preferably the tear-off line is a circular line with a radius slightly smaller than the radius of the cylindrical skirt.

Selon une variante avantageuse, le fond et l'opercule sont découpés dans une feuille métallique présentant une bordure de scellage.According to an advantageous variant, the bottom and the lid are cut from a metal sheet having a sealing border.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, le cendrier contient un matériau ininflammable, optionnellement parfumé ou traité pour absorber les odeurs.According to a preferred embodiment, the ashtray contains non-flammable material, optionally scented or treated to absorb odors.

Selon une variante, il contient un matériau granuleux minéral.Alternatively, it contains a material grainy mineral.

De préférence, la jupe est réalisée en une matière plastique.Preferably, the skirt is made in one plastic material.

Selon une variante particulière, le couvercle amovible présente une bordure périphérique apte à s'adapter sur la jupe cylindrique.According to a particular variant, the cover removable has a peripheral border able to adapt on the cylindrical skirt.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui suit, se référant aux dessins annexés où

  • la figure 1 représente une vue éclatée du cendrier selon l'invention avant la première utilisation ;
  • la figure 2 représente une vue du cendrier pendant la préparation pour une première utilisation ;
  • la figure 3 représente une vue du cendrier en cours d'utilisation ;
  • la figure 4 représente une vue du cendrier après utilisation.
The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, referring to the appended drawings where
  • FIG. 1 represents an exploded view of the ashtray according to the invention before the first use;
  • 2 shows a view of the ashtray during preparation for a first use;
  • Figure 3 shows a view of the ashtray in use;
  • Figure 4 shows a view of the ashtray after use.

Les figures annexées représentent des vues d'un exemple non limitatif de réalisation d'un cendrier, constitué par une jupe cylindrique (1) en matière plastique fermée à sa partie inférieure par un fond (2) scellé sur la jupe (1). Le fond (2) est formé par un disque métallique, par exemple en tôle d'acier découpé présentant un bord relevé pour le scellage sur le bord inférieur de la jupe. La jupe est réalisée en matière plastique transparente.The attached figures represent views of a non-limiting example of making an ashtray, consisting of a cylindrical skirt (1) made of plastic closed at its lower part by a bottom (2) sealed on the skirt (1). The bottom (2) is formed by a metal disc, for example in cut sheet steel having an edge raised for sealing on the lower edge of the skirt. The skirt is made of transparent plastic.

La partie supérieure de la jupe est fermée par un opercule métallique présentant une zone d'ouverture (3) délimitée par une ligne d'arrachage (6). Cette ligne d'arrachage (6) est une ligne estampée à l'aide d'un emporte-pièce par exemple. Elle fragilise le couvercle métallique pour permettre un arrachage de la zone centrale (3) munie d'un anneau de préhension (4) fixé par un rivet (5). La forme générale du corps est celle d'une boíte de conserve.The upper part of the skirt is closed by a metal cover having an opening area (3) delimited by a tear-off line (6). This line tear (6) is a line stamped with a cookie cutter for example. It weakens the lid metallic to allow removal of the central area (3) provided with a gripping ring (4) fixed by a rivet (5). The general shape of the body is that of a box of canned.

Un couvercle (8) en matière plastique vient coiffer l'ensemble. Il présente une bordure légèrement conique rentrante pour assurer le maintien du couvercle sur le corps du cendrier, tout en autorisant le retrait de ce couvercle pour l'utilisation du cendrier.A plastic cover (8) comes style the whole. It has a border slightly re-entrant taper to keep the cover on the body of the ashtray, while allowing the removal of this cover for the use of the ashtray.

La figure 2 représente le cendrier en cours d'ouverture. L'utilisateur exerce une traction sur l'anneau, ce qui provoque la déchirure de l'opercule le long de la ligne d'arrachage. Le corps du cendrier contient avantageusement des grains de minéraux parfumés. Ces grains présentent une granulométrie de l'ordre du millimètre. Il absorbe les mauvaises odeurs et contient une substance odoriférante. Il est également possible d'utiliser du bois traité ininflammable odorisé ou traité avec un absorbeur d'odeur.Figure 2 shows the current ashtray opening. User pulls the ring, which causes the seal to tear along the tear line. The body of the ashtray contains advantageously scented mineral grains. These grains have a particle size of the order of a millimeter. he absorbs bad odors and contains a substance odoriferous. It is also possible to use wood treated non-flammable odorized or treated with an absorber smell.

Après usage, le cendrier peut être refermé avec le couvercle (8) qui vient se clipser sur la partie supérieure de la jupe, qui reste cerclée par la partie annulaire (9) de l'opercule métallique. Cette partie annulaire (9) assure la rigidité de la jupe (1). After use, the ashtray can be closed with the cover (8) which clips onto the part upper part of the skirt, which remains surrounded by the part annular (9) of the metal cover. This part annular (9) ensures the rigidity of the skirt (1).
