Definitions
- the invention relates to an ash collector for smokers.
- a ash collector is from the US 5,605,226 known
- ashtrays are widely used. However, these are not suitable to carry them in your pocket. Also known are small rectangular boxes made of sheet metal with a hinged lid, which can be carried as travel ashtray. However, these have the disadvantage that the ash is easily spilled when you open a partially filled travel ashtray. When expressing a cigarette or a cigar, the plate of such a travel ashtray like to get hot and there is a risk that you burn your fingers. In addition, such a travel ashtray can not take very well in a jacket pocket.
- the present invention has for its object to provide an ash collector, which does not have the disadvantages mentioned and can be carried comfortably by ladies as well as men.
- the ash collector according to the invention for Rauscher has a rod-shaped container which has an opening at one end, which is closed by a removable, solid closing body, which consists entirely of a material which is resistant to the glow of cigarettes or cigars.
- the closing body is made of a material which is resistant to the glow of cigarettes or cigars, in particular of a metal which combines a high heat capacity with a sufficient heat resistance. But it is also possible to make the closing body wholly or partly of a ceramic material, a refractory material or a mineral material, e.g. from a natural stone or from an artificial stone. It is particularly preferred if the closing body consists of a metal with high thermal conductivity such as aluminum, copper or brass, because they not only have a good heat absorption, but by the high thermal conductivity also a rapid temperature compensation and rapid cooling of the glow of cigarettes or cigars cause.
- the heat capacity of the closing body is preferably such that it brings the glow of a burning cigar or cigarette, which is pressed against the closing body, extinguished within a few seconds and allowed to cool.
- the closing body preferably has a recess at its end facing the interior of the container in order to express a cigarette or cigar therein.
- the recess in the closing body could be cylindrical, but preferably it tapers, starting from the end of the closing body, into the closing body, which promotes rapid extinction and cooling of the embers.
- a spherical recess in the closing body is well suited for this purpose. Particularly preferred is a conical recess, in particular one whose tip is rounded.
- the closing body is best designed as a plug. This makes it particularly easy to train him solid and connect as a solid body with the rod-shaped container. Such a plug can only find sufficient support in the rod-shaped container that it is very closely matched with its outer diameter of the inner diameter of the container. But it is also possible to provide a groove for receiving a sealing ring in the lateral surface of the closing body, which not only in a simple manner produces a frictional engagement between the closing body and the receiving container, but also prevents the escape of ash smell.
- Another possibility is to lock the closing body when inserted or pushed onto the rod-shaped container with this. Another possibility is to screw the closing body and the rod-shaped container together. However, a simple plug-in closure is preferred.
- the rod-shaped container is not required to have a particularly high requirement for temperature resistance, so that it can also be a plastic molded part.
- the container is made of metal, in particular of a thermoformable metal such as aluminum or an aluminum alloy, preferably matching the material of the closing body.
- the rod-shaped container preferably has an outer diameter of 10 mm to 15 mm.
- Well suited is a diameter of 12 mm.
- the wall thickness of the container may be thin, for example 0.2 mm to 0.3 mm.
- As the length of the ash collector 10 cm to 15 cm are preferred.
- a second chamber may be provided in the container, which is accessible from that end, which faces away from the closing body.
- This second chamber may serve to hold a lighter so that the smoker can carry both, an ash collector and a lighter together in a slim, practical device.
- Another advantageous possibility is to use the ash collector in addition to receiving a rod-shaped flashlight, which may be included as a separate device in the second container or may be an integral part of the ash collector.
- the container of the ash collector and a sleeve which is located at the end facing away from the closing body, at the same time components of the flashlight, namely a part of its housing.
- the sleeve may also serve as a support and support for a light bulb, a reflector and a glass sheet, which may be formed as a diffuser for the flashlight.
- this sleeve is removable, whether by a plug connection or be it by a screw connection.
- the ash collector consists of a rod-shaped container 1, a closing body 2 and a clip 3.
- the container 1 is cylindrical, closed at one end to form a dome 4 and open at the other end. It is thin-walled and made of metal, especially aluminum or an aluminum alloy. It is suitable for production by deep drawing.
- the closing body 2 is inserted in the open end of the rod-shaped container 1.
- the closing body has a cylindrical shaft 5 whose outer diameter is closely matched to the inner diameter of the container 1.
- the shaft 5 ends a collar 6 which abuts when inserting the closing body 2 in the container 1 at its edge.
- the container 1 and the collar 6 coincide in outer diameter.
- the outer end of the closing body 2 is - according to the dome 4 of the container 1 - formed into a dome 7, which, however, in contrast to the dome 4 is massive.
- an annular groove 8 is provided, which receives an annular retaining clip 9 of the clip 3.
- a conical recess 10 at its inner end of the closing body 2 is solid.
- annular groove 11 is still provided, which can either accommodate an O-ring or can cooperate with a bead 12 in the wall of the container 1 to hold the closing body 2 in its closed position.
- FIGS. 7 and 8 illustrated embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the clip 3 is designed differently than in the first embodiment.
- the clip 3 is namely not with a retaining clip 9, which surrounds the closing body 2, fixed to the closing body 2, but has a leg 1 lying in the container 13, which runs parallel to the lying on the outside of the container 1 leg of the clip and in the Annular gap between the closing body 2 and the wall of the container 1 is fixed, for example by an embossing process or by a welding point or by an adhesive bond.
- An essential difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that in the ash collector a flashlight 14 is installed, which is a light bulb 15, a glass pane 16, which the the closing body.
- the container 1 Adjacent to the rear end of the cap 19, the container 1 has a partition wall 20 which divides the interior of the container 1 into a chamber for receiving the ash and into a chamber for receiving a flashlight 14.
- the built-flashlight 14 complements the ash collector in a meaningful and advantageous manner and extends its purpose.
- FIGS. 9 and 10 illustrated third embodiment differs from that in the FIGS. 7 and 8 illustrated second embodiment in that a lighter 27 is installed in the ash collector instead of a flashlight.
- a lighter 27 is installed in the ash collector instead of a flashlight.
- a comparatively short cap 22 is provided on the end of the container 1 facing away from the closing body 2, which can be removable as a loose part.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Aschesammler für Raucher. Ein derartiger Aschesammler ist aus der
Als Aschesammler für Raucher sind Aschenbecher weit verbreitet. Diese eignen sich jedoch nicht, um sie in der Tasche mitzuführen. Bekannt sind auch kleine quaderförmige Schachteln aus Blech mit einem aufklappbaren Deckel, welche als Reiseaschenbecher mitgeführt werden können. Diese haben jedoch den Nachteil, daß man die Asche leicht verschüttet, wenn man einen teilweise gefüllten Reiseaschenbecher aufklappt. Beim Ausdrücken einer Zigarette oder einer Zigarre wird das Blech eines solchen Reiseaschenbechers gerne heiß und es besteht die Gefahr, daß man sich die Finger verbrennt. Außerdem läßt sich ein solcher Reiseaschenbecher nicht besonders gut in einer Jackentasche mitnehmen.As ash collectors for smokers, ashtrays are widely used. However, these are not suitable to carry them in your pocket. Also known are small rectangular boxes made of sheet metal with a hinged lid, which can be carried as travel ashtray. However, these have the disadvantage that the ash is easily spilled when you open a partially filled travel ashtray. When expressing a cigarette or a cigar, the plate of such a travel ashtray like to get hot and there is a risk that you burn your fingers. In addition, such a travel ashtray can not take very well in a jacket pocket.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Aschesammler zu schaffen, welcher die erwähnten Nachteile nicht hat und sich von Damen wie von Herren bequem mitführen läßt.The present invention has for its object to provide an ash collector, which does not have the disadvantages mentioned and can be carried comfortably by ladies as well as men.
Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch einen Aschesammler mit den im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmalen. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.This object is achieved by an ash collector with the features specified in
Der erfindungsgemäße Aschensammler für Rauscher hat einen stabförmigen Behälter, welcher an einem Ende eine Öffnung hat, welche durch einen entfernbaren, massiven Schließkörper verschlossen ist, welcher ganz ober überwiegend aus einem Material besteht, welches gegen die Glut von Zigaretten oder Zigarren beständig ist.The ash collector according to the invention for Rauscher has a rod-shaped container which has an opening at one end, which is closed by a removable, solid closing body, which consists entirely of a material which is resistant to the glow of cigarettes or cigars.
Ein solcher Aschesammler hat wesentliche Vorteile:
- ◆ Einen stabförmigen Behälter hält man beim Öffnen üblicherweise ähnlich wie eine Flasche so, daß seine Öffnung nach oben weist und der Schließkörper nach oben entnommen wird. Deshalb besteht keine Gefahr, daß Asche beim Öffnen des Aschesammlers unabsichtlich aus dem Behälter herausrieselt.
- ◆ Bei Benutzung im Freien besteht nicht die Gefahr, daß Wind Asche aus dem stabförmigen Behälter herausbläst.
- ◆ Infolge seiner schlanken Gestalt läßt sich der stabförmige Behälter bequem halten.
- ◆ Der Schließkörper dient nicht nur zum Schließen des stabförmigen Behälters, sondern auch dazu, daß man eine Zigarette oder Zigarre an ihm ausdrücken und dadurch zum Erlöschen bringen kann. Dadurch, daß die Zigarette oder Zigarre nicht in einem dünnwandigen Gefäß ausgedrückt werden muß, sondern an einem massiven Schließkörper ausgedrückt werden kann, steht dessen gesamte Masse zur Verfügung, um die Wärme der erlöschenden Glut aufzunehmen, so daß man sich schwerlich noch die Finger verbrennen kann.
- ◆ Durch seine stabförmige Gestalt kann der Aschesammler wie ein Schreibstift in einer dafür vorgesehenen Jackentasche oder neben anderen stabförmigen Utensilien wie Lippenstift oder Augenbrauenstift in einer Damenhandtasche aufbewahrt werden. Der erfindungsgemäße Aschesammler kann deshalb bequem vom Raucher mitgeführt werden.
- ◆ When opening a rod-shaped container, it is usually similar to a bottle so that its opening points upwards and the closing body is removed upwards. Therefore, there is no danger that ashes unintentionally trickles out of the container when opening the ash collector.
- ◆ When used outdoors, there is no danger that wind ash will blow out of the rod-shaped container.
- ◆ Due to its slim shape, the rod-shaped container can be comfortably held.
- ◆ The closing body serves not only to close the rod-shaped container, but also that you can express a cigarette or cigar on him and thereby extinguish. The fact that the cigarette or cigar need not be expressed in a thin-walled vessel, but can be expressed on a solid closing body, its entire mass is available to absorb the heat of the extinguishing embers, so that you can hardly burn your fingers ,
- ◆ With its rod-like shape, the ash collector can be placed like a pen in a designated jacket pocket or next to other rod-shaped utensils such as lipstick or eyebrow pencil in a lady's handbag be kept. The ash collector according to the invention can therefore be carried comfortably by the smoker.
Der Schließkörper besteht aus einem Material, welches gegen die Glut von Zigaretten oder Zigarren beständig ist, insbesondere aus einem Metall, welches eine hohe Wärmekapazität mit einer hinreichenden Wärmebeständigkeit verbindet. Es ist aber auch möglich, den Schließkörper ganz oder teilweise aus einem keramischen Werkstoff, aus einer feuerfesten Masse oder aus einem mineralischen Material herzustellen, z.B. aus einem Naturstein oder aus einem Kunststein. Besonders bevorzugt ist es, wenn der Schließkörper aus einem Metall mit hoher Wärmeleitfähigkeit wie Aluminium, Kupfer oder Messing besteht, weil diese nicht nur eine gute Wärmeaufnahmefähigkeit besitzen, sondern durch die hohe Wärmeleitfähigkeit auch einen raschen Temperaturausgleich und eine schnelle Abkühlung der Glut von Zigaretten oder Zigarren bewirken.The closing body is made of a material which is resistant to the glow of cigarettes or cigars, in particular of a metal which combines a high heat capacity with a sufficient heat resistance. But it is also possible to make the closing body wholly or partly of a ceramic material, a refractory material or a mineral material, e.g. from a natural stone or from an artificial stone. It is particularly preferred if the closing body consists of a metal with high thermal conductivity such as aluminum, copper or brass, because they not only have a good heat absorption, but by the high thermal conductivity also a rapid temperature compensation and rapid cooling of the glow of cigarettes or cigars cause.
Die Wärmekapazität des Schließkörpers ist vorzugsweise so bemessen, daß sie die Glut einer brennenden Zigarre oder Zigarette, welche gegen den Schließkörper gedrückt wird, binnen weniger Sekunden zum Erlöschen bringt und erkalten läßt. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, die Wärmekapazität des Schließkörpers so zu bemessen, daß die Temperatur seiner Mantelfläche einen Wert von 50° C nicht übersteigt, wenn man eine Zigarette oder eine Zigarre an dem Schließkörper, insbesondere an dem Ende des Schließkörpers, welches dem Innenraum des Behälters zugewandt ist, ausdrückt.The heat capacity of the closing body is preferably such that it brings the glow of a burning cigar or cigarette, which is pressed against the closing body, extinguished within a few seconds and allowed to cool. To measure the heat capacity of the closing body so that the temperature of its lateral surface does not exceed a value of 50 ° C when a cigarette or a cigar on the closing body, in particular at the end of the closing body, which the interior of the container is particularly advantageous is facing, expresses.
Der Schließkörper hat an seinem dem Innenraum des Behälters zugewandten Ende vorzugsweise eine Ausnehmung, um darin eine Zigarette oder Zigarre auszudrücken. Das hat zum einen den Vorteil, daß man beim Ausdrücken der Zigarette oder Zigarre nicht abrutscht und hat den weiteren Vorteil, daß die Ausnehmung zugleich die beim Ausdrücken abfallende Asche aufnehmen kann, welche dann mit dem Schließkörper in den Behälter überführt wird.The closing body preferably has a recess at its end facing the interior of the container in order to express a cigarette or cigar therein. This has the advantage that one does not slip off when expressing the cigarette or cigar and has the further advantage that the recess can at the same time receive the sloping ash when expressing, which is then transferred to the closing body in the container.
Die Ausnehmung im Schließkörper könnte zylindrisch sein, vorzugsweise verjüngt sie sich jedoch, ausgehend vom Ende des Schließkörpers, in den Schließkörper hinein, was ein rasches Erlöschen und Erkalten der Glut fördert. Eine ballige Ausnehmung im Schließkörper ist für diesen Zweck gut geeignet. Besonders bevorzugt ist eine konische Ausnehmung, insbesondere eine solche, deren Spitze gerundet ist.The recess in the closing body could be cylindrical, but preferably it tapers, starting from the end of the closing body, into the closing body, which promotes rapid extinction and cooling of the embers. A spherical recess in the closing body is well suited for this purpose. Particularly preferred is a conical recess, in particular one whose tip is rounded.
Der Schließkörper ist am besten als Stopfen ausgebildet. Das macht es besonders leicht, ihn massiv auszubilden und als massiven Körper mit dem stabförmigen Behälter zu verbinden. Ein solcher Stopfen kann allein dadurch genügenden Halt in dem stabförmigen Behälter finden, daß er mit seinem Außendurchmesser dem Innendurchmesser des Behälters sehr eng angepaßt ist. Es ist aber auch möglich, in der Mantelfläche des Schließkörpers eine Rille zur Aufnahme eines Dichtringes vorzusehen, welcher nicht nur auf einfache Weise einen Reibschluß zwischen dem Schließkörper und dem ihn aufnehmenden Behälter herstellt, sondern auch das Austreten von Aschegeruch verhindert.The closing body is best designed as a plug. This makes it particularly easy to train him solid and connect as a solid body with the rod-shaped container. Such a plug can only find sufficient support in the rod-shaped container that it is very closely matched with its outer diameter of the inner diameter of the container. But it is also possible to provide a groove for receiving a sealing ring in the lateral surface of the closing body, which not only in a simple manner produces a frictional engagement between the closing body and the receiving container, but also prevents the escape of ash smell.
Eine andere Möglichkeit besteht darin, den Schließkörper beim Einschieben oder Aufschieben auf den stabförmigen Behälter mit diesem zu verrasten. Eine weitere Möglichkeit besteht darin, den Schließkörper und den stabförmigen Behälter miteinander zu verschrauben. Ein einfacher Steckverschluß wird jedoch bevorzugt.Another possibility is to lock the closing body when inserted or pushed onto the rod-shaped container with this. Another possibility is to screw the closing body and the rod-shaped container together. However, a simple plug-in closure is preferred.
Da sich eine Zigarette oder eine Zigarre an dem massiven Schließkörper sehr gut ausdrücken und abkühlen läßt, ist an den stabförmigen Behälter keine besonders hohe Anforderung an die Temperaturbeständigkeit zu stellen, so daß dieser auch ein Kunststoffformteil sein kann. Vorzugsweise besteht jedoch auch der Behälter aus Metall, insbesondere aus einem tiefziehfähigen Metall wie Aluminium oder aus einer Aluminiumlegierung, vorzugsweise passend zu dem Material des Schließkörpers.Since a cigarette or a cigar can express itself very well on the solid closing body and allow it to cool, the rod-shaped container is not required to have a particularly high requirement for temperature resistance, so that it can also be a plastic molded part. Preferably, however, the container is made of metal, in particular of a thermoformable metal such as aluminum or an aluminum alloy, preferably matching the material of the closing body.
Der stabförmige Behälter hat vorzugsweise einen Außendurchmesser von 10 mm bis 15 mm. Gut geeignet ist ein Durchmesser von 12 mm. Die Wandstärke des Behälters kann dünn sein, beispielsweise 0,2 mm bis 0,3 mm. Als Länge des Aschesammlers sind 10 cm bis 15 cm bevorzugt.The rod-shaped container preferably has an outer diameter of 10 mm to 15 mm. Well suited is a diameter of 12 mm. The wall thickness of the container may be thin, for example 0.2 mm to 0.3 mm. As the length of the
Vorzugsweise wird nur ein Teil der Länge des Aschesammlers für die Ausbildung einer Kammer zum Asche sammeln genutzt. In vorteilhafter Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann in dem Behälter eine zweite Kammer vorgesehen sein, welche von jenem Ende her zugänglich ist, welches dem Schließkörper abgewandt ist. Diese zweite Kammer kann dazu dienen, ein Feuerzeug aufzunehmen, so dass der Raucher beides, sowohl einen Aschesammler als auch ein Feuerzeug in einem schlanken, praktischen Gerät vereint mit sich führen kann. Eine andere vorteilhafte Möglichkeit besteht darin, den Aschesammler zusätzlich zur Aufnahme einer stabförmigen Taschenlampe zu nutzen, welche als gesondertes Gerät in den zweiten Behälter aufgenommen sein kann oder integraler Bestandteil des Aschesammlers sein kann. Im letzteren Fall sind der Behälter des Aschesammlers und eine Hülse, welche sich an dem dem Schließkörper abgewandten Ende befindet, zugleich Bestandteile der Taschenlampe, nämlich ein Teil ihres Gehäuses. Die Hülse kann außerdem als ein Träger und eine Halterung für eine Glühbirne, für einen Reflektor und für eine Glasscheibe dienen, welche als Streuscheibe für die Taschenlampe ausgebildet sein kann. Zum Batteriewechsel ist diese Hülse abnehmbar, sei es durch eine Steckverbindung oder sei es durch eine Schraubverbindung.Preferably, only a portion of the length of the ash collector is used for the formation of a chamber for collecting ashes. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, a second chamber may be provided in the container, which is accessible from that end, which faces away from the closing body. This second chamber may serve to hold a lighter so that the smoker can carry both, an ash collector and a lighter together in a slim, practical device. Another advantageous possibility is to use the ash collector in addition to receiving a rod-shaped flashlight, which may be included as a separate device in the second container or may be an integral part of the ash collector. In the latter case, the container of the ash collector and a sleeve, which is located at the end facing away from the closing body, at the same time components of the flashlight, namely a part of its housing. The sleeve may also serve as a support and support for a light bulb, a reflector and a glass sheet, which may be formed as a diffuser for the flashlight. For changing the battery, this sleeve is removable, whether by a plug connection or be it by a screw connection.

Der Aschesammler besteht aus einem stabförmigen Behälter 1, aus einem Schließkörper 2 und einem Klipp 3. Der Behälter 1 ist zylindrisch, an einem Ende unter Ausbildung einer Kuppe 4 geschlossen und am anderen Ende offen. Er ist dünnwandig und besteht aus Metall, insbesondere aus Aluminium oder einer Aluminiumlegierung. Er eignet sich zur Herstellung durch Tiefziehen.The ash collector consists of a rod-shaped
Der Schließkörper 2 steckt im offenen Ende des stabförmigen Behälters 1. Der Schließkörper hat einen zylindrischen Schaft 5, dessen Außendurchmesser dem Innendurchmesser des Behälters 1 eng angepaßt ist. Der Schaft 5 endet an einem Kragen 6, welcher beim Einstecken des Schließkörpers 2 in den Behälter 1 an dessen Rand anschlägt. Vorzugsweise stimmen der Behälter 1 und der Kragen 6 im Außendurchmesser überein. Das außenliegende Ende des Schließkörpers 2 ist - entsprechend der Kuppe 4 des Behälters 1 - zu einer Kuppe 7 geformt, welche jedoch im Gegensatz zur Kuppe 4 massiv ist. Zwischen der Kuppe 7 und dem Kragen 6 ist eine Ringnut 8 vorgesehen, welche eine ringförmige Halteklammer 9 des Klipps 3 aufnimmt. Mit Ausnahme einer konischen Ausnehmung 10 an seinem innenliegenden Ende ist der Schließkörper 2 massiv ausgebildet. Er besteht vorzugsweise aus Aluminium oder einer Aluminiumlegierung. Wenn man ihn an der Halteklammer 9 faßt und aus dem Behälter 1 herauszieht, um dann in der Ausnehmung 10 eine Zigarette auszudrücken, erkaltet diese schnell. Die Wärme verteilt sich über den massiven Schließkörper 2 und es gibt keine Gefahr, sich die Finger zu verbrennen.The
