Definitions

  • This invention concerns a device for shredding cigarette butts, in particular their filters, to facilitate disposal.
  • a device for shredding cigarette butts, in particular their filters to facilitate disposal.
  • One example of such device is disclosed in US 2737350 . State of the Art
  • Cigarette butts can often be seen on the ground even in open areas such as roads, squares, parks and gardens.
  • One object of this invention is in fact to propose a device able to resolve the problem criticized above of removing cigarette butts, by shredding them to facilitate collection and rapid decomposition besides ensuring they are extinguished.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a pocket, consequently portable, device for shredding cigarette butts and the like which is immediately available and usable by the smoker and above all acting as an ashtray.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a device for shredding cigarette butts and the like which can also be positioned permanently in public places at the disposal of smokers.
  • a device for shredding cigarette butts and the like to facilitate collection and disposal comprising a box shaped body having two front and rear walls, two facing lateral walls, one bottom wall and a top wall; a shredder duct which extends crossways between the lateral walls of said body, forming a housing to receive a butt to be shredded and having a number of transverse separated slots in parallel; and a number of slicing blades in line with the slots of said duct, guided at least between the front and rear walls of the box shaped body and associated with a control pushbutton guided in the top wall of said body, said slicing blades being moved by the control pushbutton from a retracted idle position to a forward active one, where the slicing blades are pushed through the slots of the shredder duct for a slicing operation.
  • the device of the invention comprises a prismatic box shaped body 11 that can be made of any type of material. As a preference however it is made plastic and made up of two complementary halves 11' which are joined and are fixed together.
  • the body 11 When assembled, the body 11, forms an internal chamber 12 with two front and back walls 13, 14,two facing lateral walls 15,16, one bottom wall 17 and one top wall 18.
  • Said chamber 12 is provided with a shredding duct 19 forming a horizontal housing 20, placed on a transverse X axis to the body 11 and dimensioned to receive the whole cigarette butts to be shredded.
  • This duct 19 can be an integral part of the two halves of the body - Fig. 3 - or can be made up of an element apart inserted and attached in said body. It extends parallel to and at a distance from the bottom wall 17, forming a collection area 21, to receive the parts of the butts which have been shredded and which can be accessed through a door 22, to empty it.
  • the shredder duct 19 can be semi-cylindrical or cylindrical, and the housing 20 it forms can be accessed through a hole in line 23 machined in a side wall 15 of the body 11. Furthermore, the shredder duct 19 has for a least a part of its length a number of through slots cut crossways and spaced parallel to each other.
  • the slots 24 are associated with the same number of slicing blades 25 oriented and movable according to a Y axis at right angles to the X axis of the shredder duct 19.
  • Said slicing blades 25 are metal and their distant ends from the duct 19 are fixed to a rod which extends crossways inn the body 11 and the end parts of which can be guided in grooves 27 provided on the inner faces of the lateral walls of the body.
  • the rod 26 holding the slicing blades 25 is connected to and moves through a control pushbutton 28 guided in the top wall of the body 11 and moving by hand between an inactive position, retracted, where it protrudes from the body - and the blades are idle - Figs. 1 and 2 , and an active forward position, where the slicing blades 25 are pushed through the slots 24 of the shredder duct 19 to perform shredding.
  • each blade 25 has a cutting end 25' which is slanting and which remains inserted, consequently centred, in the respective slot 24 of the duct 19 also when the pushbutton 28 is retracted in the idle position.
  • each guide column is to guide the pushbutton, and therefore the slicing blades, between the abovementioned active and idle positions and each one houses a compressible spring 31 used to push to maintain the pushbutton 28, and with it the blades, in the idle position.
  • the forward movement of the pushbutton and the blades is on the other hand carried out manually by pressing down the pushbutton contrasting the action of said springs.
  • the device described above is used by inserting the cigarette butt with filter, into the lateral hole 23, in the shredder duct 19 and then by manually operating the pushbutton 28 to move and push the slicing blades 25 through the respective slots 24. In this way you achieve a large number of cross cuts and consequently a shredding of the butt, shredding which can be repeated and increased by activating the blades two or more times to favour collecting and deterioration the cigarette filters.
  • a thrust rod 32 can be provided and used which is inserted in the shredder duct 19 through the lateral hole 23 and in preference a pusher 33 fixed to the rod 26 holding the slicing blades to follow its movements.
  • the pusher 33 which can be tubular, is facing towards and in line with a transverse hole 34 cut in the end part of the duct 19 opposite the one with the hole 20 to insert the butt. In this way, the pusher moves forward each time the pushbutton is pressed and is able to push the shredded parts from the horizontal housing to the collection area.
  • the pusher rod 32 can be placed and stored in a housing formed in combination with the control pushbutton and the tubular pusher as shown in Fig. 2 .
  • the device described above can be modified in detail without by this exiting the field of the invention and also that besides the pocket version, the device itself can be set up also for use in public places or in those places set aside for smokers.
  • a small space 35 can be provided which can be accessed through an opening 36, housing a butt extinguisher 37 and used to collect the ash.
