Definitions

  • the present invention concerns an ash handling system primarily but not exclusively intended for use in public premises, such as airfield terminals, railway stations, hotel lobbies, etc., as well as in offices and other environments where it is a desire to collect not only the smoke produced by smokers, but also ash and cigarette ends resulting from smoking.
  • Fig. 5 is a partly sectioned side view of the valve mechanism at a further enlarged scale
  • Fig. 10 is a perspective view of the valve mechanism corresponding to Fig. 7, but showing the valve in an open position
  • Fig. 11 is a side view of the valve mechanism showing the valve in an open position
  • Fig. 12 is a view from above of the valve mechanism.
  • the tube is shown here to have a circular, annular cross section, it is equally possible to make it with a rectangular cross section.
  • the shoulder 23 is adapted to receive and support a circumferential rim 25 of the funnel 14, thereby supporting the latter.
  • the valve element is designed to be extremely sensitive, i.e. to open when loaded by very small loads, and to close very rapidly after having discharged an object into the container.
  • this function could be achieved by means of a spring, but it is preferred to realise the valve element as a balance lever pivoting about a fulcrum and striving to occupy a position of equilibrium.
  • Such balance lever could include a first arm including a valve surface adapted to seal against the edge 38' , and a second arm of any shape providing the momentum necessary to counterbalance the first arm.
  • a typical cigarette smoking session ends with dropping the cigarette end into an ash tray, and in the present case the relatively heavy cigarette end will land on top of the ash, accumulated where the momentum is the largest, and effectively open the valve, and, furthermore, bring along the ash into the container.
