The dispenser is especially suitable for be used on beaches and the like, where the conical configuration of ashtrays allow these to be stuck in the sand, during use, but obviously it can be used equally at street level, where the need to dispense is expected ashtrays like those mentioned above.

The invention thus falls within the scope of street furniture

Background of the invention

Ashtrays with monouso character are known, materialized in a cone of cardboard, cardboard, foil or any other similar product, as previously stated They are especially suitable for use on beaches, where such ashtrays can be stuck in the sand to get the necessary stabilization of the same, and that after its use can be disposed of by throwing them into a container, bin or Similary. The applicant is not aware of the existence of dispensers capable of supplying the general public, at the level from the street or on the beach itself, the aforementioned ashtrays.

Description of the invention

The dispenser that the invention proposes comes to fill this technical gap, constituting a simple solution and effective for the supply to the general public of such ashtrays

To do this and more specifically said dispenser materializes in a prismatic body, from floor to circular sector shape, that is to say isoscelic triangular plan with its convex curved base, according to the configuration and size of folded ashtrays, body equipped with a top cover for recharging it, with lock mechanism, and on whose wall front, vertical in mounting situation, and curved-convex, a longitudinal groove is established and a half, which constitutes a viewfinder for load control of the dispenser, slot that by its lower extremity and after a nail which facilitates access to ashtrays, expands in a slot transverse that integrally affects the lower edge of said face and allows the unitary extraction of ashtrays.

According to another of the characteristics of the invention the said prismatic body incorporates in one of its faces flat sides a pair of bridge plates "omega" configuration, which allows fixing by strapping of the dispenser to a post, lamppost or similar, so similar to how a bin is conventionally fixed to these elements.

However, it is also foreseen that said bridge deck incorporates a small center hole, coaxially facing another larger established on the wall of the body of the dispenser, so that to through these holes the dispenser is fixed to any flat wall, or also to the elements above cited, specifically by screwing, the diameter of the container wall hole dimensionally suitable for allow passage through the corresponding head screw.

Finally and according to another of the characteristics of the invention the upper closing lid is it materializes in a kind of inverted bowl, which integrates the said lock mechanism, which acts on one arm swivel capable of accommodating its ends, in a closed situation, in two boxes duly in solidarity with the flat walls of the body, relatively close to its mouth, and accessible through of respective windows.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:
