Brief description of the drawings

To complement the description below is going to be done and in order to help a better understanding of The characteristics of the invention are attached herein descriptive a set of drawings based on which they will more easily understand the innovations and advantages of the tobacco pack with ashtray made according to the object of the invention.

Figure 1.- Shows a perspective view of a pack of cigarettes with an ashtray in position intermediate extraction.

Figure 2.- Shows a perspective view of a variant embodiment of the ashtray that incorporates the pack of the invention.

Description of the preferred embodiment

In relation to figure 1 a pack 1 cigarette holder 2, with the corresponding lid 3 whose opening allows the extraction of such cigarettes 2.

Well, this packet 1 that is conventional and that can be materialized in a cigarette case or in a box of tobacco of any other nature, presents the particularity of incorporate a configuration ashtray 4 prismatic-rectangular, which is sliding in the inside the pack 1, ashtray 4 that in the form of embodiment depicted in figure 1 occupies the entire width of the  pack 1 and a part of its thickness, so that in position closing or resting, the ashtray 4 is completely hidden in the inside the pack 1, as a result of which it is endowed in its face or external wall with an extension 5 that in that closing position covers the face or bottom through which it emerges said ashtray 4, counting that extension 5 with a flap 6 that in the aforementioned closing position will be inserted in a slot and provided at the bottom of box 1, thus achieving a means of interlocking and therefore retaining the ashtray 4 inside the pack 1.

In the embodiment variant shown in the Figure 2, ashtray 4 ', occupies a part of the width of the pack 1, although if it occupies all the thickness of it and all its length, including a traction tongue on its front face 8 to carry out the opening, while laterally it counts with a retractable element of retention or interlocking 6 'that in 4 'ashtray introduction position is housed in a window 7 'established for this purpose on one of the sides of the pack 1.

Therefore, in view of figures 1 and 2 you can see how the ashtray configuration can be resolved from any form and even the means of retention and interlocking inside the pack.

In addition, it is planned that the ashtray 4 or 4 'may be associated with an elastic or retractable element 9 that tends to push the ashtray towards the extraction position once the corresponding retention element is released or interlocking, as depicted in figure 2.

In either case, the 4 or 4 'ashtray will present its internal surface equipped with a fire retardant material to prevent burning, and therefore avoid burning the inside the pack and even allow to extinguish the butts originated in the consumption of cigarettes.
