Description

  The present invention relates to an ashtray for use in an automobile interior.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an ashtray for an automobile equipped with a fire extinguisher that can be easily extinguished by inserting an ignited cigarette into an oxygen deficient state is well known. The fire extinguisher is approximately the same inner diameter as the diameter of the cigarette, and is formed from a depth that allows the inserted cigarette to be self-supporting. However, such a fire extinguisher, depending on the frequency of use, is relatively early, and solid matter mixed with ash and tar accumulates in the interior, making it useless. Need to be cleaned frequently to remove solids.

  In order to solve such problems, many techniques have been proposed in which the ash accumulated inside is dropped and cleaned so that the fire extinguishing cylinder is divided and opened. Some of them open a fire extinguisher by pressing a button provided on the ashtray, or open a fire extinguisher with an opening / closing operation of a lid or the like. For example, in an ashtray disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-189199 (Patent Document 1), a fire extinguishing cylinder 5 is composed of a first fire extinguishing cylinder member 5a and a second fire extinguishing cylinder member, and the first fire extinguishing cylinder member 5a and a finger The hook 6 is integrally formed, and the finger hook 6 is pushed downward, so that the lower part of the fire extinguishing cylinder 5 is opened and the ash accumulated inside is dropped and cleaned.

  Further, in the “automobile ashtray” disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-30541 (Patent Document 2), a fire extinguisher opens and closes automatically when the ashtray is opened and closed, and the ash is automatically dropped and cleaned. The fire extinguishing cylinder is a bottomed cylinder made up of two cylindrical members. One of the cylindrical members can be rotated, and the lower part of the cylindrical member opens and closes as the ashtray is closed. The ash collected in the ash is dropped and cleaned.

  Furthermore, the “ash tray” disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 4167136 (Patent Document 3) is also cleaned by automatically opening and closing the fire extinguisher with the opening and closing of the ashtray in the same manner as in Patent Document 2. The fire extinguishing cylinder is formed into a cylindrical shape by combining a first member that rotates together with the lid and a second member that rotates coaxially with the first member. The second member is rotated with the closing operation, and the tip of the fire extinguishing cylinder is opened obliquely downward, and the ash accumulated in the interior is dropped and cleaned.

  However, when the ignited cigarette is inserted into the fire extinguisher, the tar and ash mixed with the smoke when extinguishing the fire mix and adhere as solid matter inside the fire extinguisher. Since tar is sticky and sticky, the attached solid matter does not fall just by opening the fire-fighting cylinder, and only the relatively free-flowing ash falls into the ashtray. As a result, the solid matter accumulates in the fire extinguisher and clogs the inside, and the original purpose cannot be achieved.

  In Patent Document 1, the lower part of the fire extinguishable cylinder is opened so that the ash falls as freely as possible by gravity. Further, the first fire extinguishing cylinder member and the finger hook part are integrated to form a finger hook. By flipping the part with a finger and giving an impact to the fire extinguisher, the attached solid matter is dropped as much as possible.

  In Patent Document 2, the lower part of the fire extinguisher opens and the ash falls downward, but the bottomed portion prevents the ash from falling, and the attached solid matter accumulates in the inner corner of the bottomed part, and the original purpose is Cannot be achieved.

  In Patent Document 3, the tip part opens with the tip of the fire extinguisher facing diagonally downward. As a result, ash cannot be fallen straight and stays inside and accumulates together with solid matter to clog the inside. The original purpose cannot be achieved.

  Moreover, since these ashtrays are premised on being used in the interior of an automobile, they are compact and have a small capacity of the housing portion of the butts. In addition, since the butts are randomly discarded in the accommodating portion, a lot of gaps are generated between the butts, and the accommodating portions are filled up immediately for the number of discarded butts, so that the butts must be processed each time.

  In addition, the cigarette butts collected in the cigarette butts are turned upside down and thrown into the trash bin. It will also leave behind. At this time, the frame fitted in the cigarette housing part may be removed and discarded, but if it is difficult to come off to prevent the car interior from being inadvertently removed and contaminating the interior of the car, or a lock mechanism is provided. It is good, but it also increases the cost, so even if there are inconveniences mentioned above, the ashtray is often turned upside down and discarded.

  Therefore, the present invention solves the above problems and effectively removes ash and solid matter accumulated in the fire extinguisher of the ashtray, accommodates many butts even if the volume of the butterfly housing portion is small, and turns the ashtray upside down. The purpose is to provide an automobile ashtray that can throw away butts smoothly.

  An ashtray main body comprising a cigarette housing portion, a frame, and a lid, and a fire extinguishing cylinder member having a fire extinguishing cylinder fixed to the frame, and a first slope member pivotally supported by the frame This is solved by providing a single slit from the side surface to the bottom surface of the fire extinguishing cylinder, and providing the first slope member with a scraping portion having a key-like portion engageable with the slit.

  In addition, the frame is provided with a second slope member so as to form a funnel while facing the first slope member so as to be at least wider than the diameter of the cigarette, and at the bottom inside the butt housing portion. A slope that descends from the rear side to the front side of the cigarette housing part, a slope that descends from the front side to the rear side of the cigarette shell part, and a mountain shape having ridge lines parallel to the rear side and the front side of the cigarette housing part The problem is solved by providing a guide portion formed with any one of the slopes.

  An ashtray main body comprising a cigarette housing portion, a frame, and a lid, and a fire extinguishing cylinder member having a fire extinguishing cylinder fixed to the frame, and a first slope member pivotally supported by the frame Since the first slope member is provided with a scraping portion having a key-like portion that can be engaged with the slit, a solid adhering to the inside of the fire extinguisher is provided. The object can be reliably removed by rotating the first slope member and disengaging it from the slit of the fire extinguishing cylinder. Moreover, since the 1st slope member is pivotally supported without being urged | biased with a spring etc., by turning an ashtray main body upside down, it rotates and opens naturally, and does not prevent discharge of a cigarette butt. Furthermore, by shaking the inverted ashtray main body and shaking the open first slope member around the shaft support part to the surrounding members and giving an impact, the solid attached to the bottom of the fire extinguishing cylinder and the scraped part It was possible to shake off objects.

  In addition, the frame is provided with a second slope member so as to form a funnel while facing the first slope member so as to be at least wider than the diameter of the cigarette, and at the bottom inside the butt housing portion. A slope that descends from the rear side to the front side of the cigarette housing part, a slope that descends from the front side to the rear side of the cigarette shell part, and a mountain shape having ridge lines parallel to the rear side and the front side of the cigarette housing part Since the guide portion formed with any one of the slopes is provided, the cigarette butt falls on the second slope member or the inclined surface of the first slope member and falls while rolling toward the interval portion, and further falls through the interval portion. The cigarette butt rolls to the bottom of the valley by the slope of the guide part. By repeating this, the butts are stacked in an orderly manner along the slope, making it possible to accommodate a much larger number of butts compared to the number of butts that are randomly cluttered as in the past. . Moreover, since the second slope member is pivotally supported without being urged by a spring or the like, by turning the ashtray body upside down, the second slope member rotates and opens naturally together with the first slope member, and discharges the butts. Improved usability without interruption.

It is a perspective view of an ashtray main body. It is a cross-sectional perspective view of an ashtray main body. It is a cross-sectional perspective view of the state which rotated the slope member upwards.

  A first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an ashtray body of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional perspective view of the ashtray body.

  The ashtray main body (1) is composed of a cigarette housing part (2), a frame (3), and a lid (4), and a fire extinguishing cylinder member (5) and a rear side of the frame (3) (on the lid (4) side) A first slope member (6) is provided.
