Description

本発明は、自動車などのドリンクホルダーに載置して使用する車載用の灰皿に関する。 TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an on-board ashtray used by being placed on a drink holder such as a car.

この種の装置には、従来では、下記の特許文献１(日本国・特開２００７−１５１４９９号公報)に記載されたものがある。その従来技術は、次のように構成されている。
灰皿本体と、タバコの先端部を挿入する円柱状空間を内部に配置する筒状の火消し部材を有し、この火消し部材はその筒状部が縦方向に分割された一方の筒部材と他方の筒部材より構成される。そして、上記の火消し部材内に溜まった灰を灰皿本体内に落とす灰落とし動作が、上記の一方の筒部材に対して他方の筒部材が上記の円柱状空間をせん断する方向に移動するように構成される。
かかる従来の技術によれば、灰落とし操作時に灰固形物が火消し部材の円筒部に付着しにくく、効率的に灰固形物を崩す事ができるとされている。 An apparatus of this type has conventionally been disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-151499. The prior art is configured as follows.
It has an ashtray main body and a cylindrical fire extinguishing member in which a cylindrical space for inserting the tip end of the cigarette is disposed. This fire extinguishing member has one cylindrical member and the other in which the cylindrical portion is divided in the longitudinal direction. It consists of a cylinder member. Then, the ash removing operation for dropping the ash accumulated in the above-mentioned fire elimination member into the ashtray main body moves in such a direction that the other cylinder member shears the above-mentioned cylindrical space with respect to the above one cylinder member. Configured

特開２００７−１５１４９９号公報Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2007-151499

しかしながら、上記の従来技術は、次の問題がある。
火の点いたタバコを火消し部材に突き刺して消火し、消火したタバコの吸殻を火消し部材から取り外して灰皿本体内に捨てるまでの間、灰皿本体は開放されたままであることから、タバコの火が完全に消えるまで、副流煙の全てが車内空間に放出され続けることになる。加えて、灰皿本体を開放したままだと、タバコの吸殻が放つ不快な臭いも車内に拡がることになる。このため、タバコを吸い終わると可能な限り早く灰皿本体に蓋をして密閉したいが、上記の消火から灰皿の蓋閉めまでの一連の操作には時間が掛るという問題が有った。又、仮にこのような操作を喫煙した運転手が行う場合には、前方不注意などの不安全行動を惹起する事にもなり兼ねない。
それゆえに、本発明の目的は、喫煙が終了した際、直ちに灰皿に蓋をして密閉し、車内への副流煙や不快な臭いの放出を極小化することができると共に、安全運転にも資する車載用の灰皿を提供することにある。 However, the above-mentioned prior art has the following problems.
Since the ashtray body remains open until the extinguished cigarette is pierced and extinguished by the extinguisher, and the extinguished cigarette butt is removed from the extinguisher and discarded in the ashtray body, the cigarette is completely extinguished. All of the sidestream smoke will continue to be released into the interior of the car until it disappears. In addition, if the ashtray body is left open, the unpleasant odor emitted by the cigarette butt also spreads into the car. For this reason, it is desirable to cover and seal the ashtray body as soon as possible after smoking a cigarette, but there is a problem that it takes time for a series of operations from the above-mentioned fire extinguishing to the closing of the ashtray. In addition, if the driver who smokes performs such an operation, it may also cause an unsafe action such as forward carelessness.
Therefore, the object of the present invention is to immediately cover and seal the ashtray when smoking is finished, and to minimize the emission of sidestream smoke and unpleasant odor into the car, and also for safe driving. It is to provide a suitable car ashtray.

上記の目的を達成するため、本発明は、例えば、図１及び図２に示すように、車載用の灰皿１０を次のように構成した。
すなわち、タバコの灰や吸殻が収容される有底筒状で上部が開口した灰皿本体１２と、上記の灰皿本体１２の開口内側に設けられ、タバコの先端部を挿入する円柱状空間が内部に配置された火消用筒部１４と、上記の灰皿本体１２の開口を開閉する蓋体１６とを具備する。上記の蓋体１６における灰皿本体１２側の面には、当該蓋体１６で上記の灰皿本体１２の開口を密閉した際に、上記の火消用筒部１４に挿入したタバコの吸殻２２全体を収納する凹部１８が設けられる。 In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, for example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the on-vehicle ashtray 10 is configured as follows.
That is, the bottomed cylindrical shape that accommodates cigarette ash and butts, the ashtray main body 12 having an open top, and the cylindrical space provided inside the opening of the ashtray main body 12 described above and into which the tip of the cigarette is inserted It comprises the cylinder part 14 for extinguishers arrange | positioned, and the cover body 16 which opens and closes the opening of said ashtray main body 12. As shown in FIG. When the opening of the ashtray main body 12 is closed by the lid 16 on the surface of the lid 16 on the side of the ashtray main body 12, the entire cigarette butt 22 inserted in the fire extinguishing cylinder portion 14 is stored. A recess 18 is provided.

本発明は、次の作用を奏する。
蓋体１６における灰皿本体１２側の面に、火消用筒部１４に挿入したタバコの吸殻２２全体を収納する凹部１８が設けられているので、吸い終わったタバコを火消用筒部１４に挿入後、タバコの消火を待たず、直ちに蓋体１６で灰皿本体１２内を密封することができる。 The present invention has the following effects.
The concave portion 18 for accommodating the whole of the cigarette butt 22 inserted in the fire extinguishing cylinder portion 14 is provided on the surface of the lid 16 on the side of the ashtray main body 12. Therefore, after inserting the smoked cigarette into the fire extinguishing cylinder portion 14 The lid 16 can immediately seal the inside of the ashtray main body 12 without waiting for the extinguishment of the cigarette.

この発明においては、上記の凹部１８における蓋体１６外周側の内面に、上方へ向かうにつれ蓋体１６の中心方向へ向かって傾斜する斜面２０を設けるのが好ましい。
この場合、仮に火消用筒部１４に挿入したタバコの吸殻２２の高さが、凹部１８の深さよりも大きな場合であったとしても、その吸殻２２を灰皿本体１２の内側に倒伏させて安全に蓋体１６を閉めることができる。 In this invention, it is preferable to provide the slope 20 which inclines toward the center direction of the lid 16 as it goes upward on the inner surface of the outer periphery of the lid 16 in the recess 18 described above.
In this case, even if the height of the cigarette butt 22 inserted into the fire extinguishing cylinder 14 is greater than the depth of the recess 18, the buttock 22 is laid down inside the ashtray main body 12 for safety. The lid 16 can be closed.

また、この発明においては、上記の火消用筒部１４を、上記の灰皿本体１２の開口内周面に沿って複数設けるのが好ましい。
この場合、一の火消用筒部１４に吸殻２２が刺さった状態であっても、この吸殻２２を火消用筒部１４から除去することなく他の火消用筒部１４を使うことによって、設けられた火消用筒部１４の数だけは上述したような最小限の動作で繰り返し灰皿１０を使用することができる。 Moreover, in the present invention, it is preferable to provide a plurality of the above-mentioned fire extinguishing cylinder portions 14 along the opening inner peripheral surface of the above-mentioned ashtray main body 12.
In this case, even when the butt 22 is stuck in one of the fire use cylinder parts 14, it is provided by using the other fire use cylinder parts 14 without removing the butt 22 from the fire use cylinder part 14. The ashtray 10 can be used repeatedly with the minimum operation as described above only for the number of the fire extinguishing cylinder parts 14.

本発明によれば、喫煙が終了した際、直ちに灰皿に蓋をして密閉し、車内への副流煙や不快な臭いの放出を極小化することができると共に、安全運転にも資する車載用の灰皿を提供することができる。 According to the present invention, it is possible to immediately cover and seal the ashtray when smoking is finished, and minimize the emission of sidestream smoke and unpleasant odor into the vehicle, and also contribute to safe driving.

本発明における一実施形態の灰皿を示す斜視図である。It is a perspective view showing an ashtray of one embodiment in the present invention. 図１におけるＡ−Ａ‘断面図であり、図２Ａは蓋体を開けた状態を示し、図２Ｂは蓋体を閉めた状態を示す。FIG. 2A is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A in FIG. 1, FIG. 2A shows a state in which the lid is opened, and FIG. 2B shows a state in which the lid is closed.

以下、本発明の一実施形態を図１及び図２によって説明する。
図１は本発明における一実施形態の灰皿１０を示す斜視図である。この図が示すように、本実施形態の灰皿１０は、灰皿本体１２，火消用筒部１４及び蓋体１６で大略構成される。 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an ashtray 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As this figure shows, the ashtray 10 of this embodiment is roughly constituted by the ashtray main body 12, the fire extinguishing cylinder portion 14 and the lid 16.

灰皿本体１２は、タバコの吸殻や灰を収容するためのものであって、ガラス繊維強化難燃性樹脂などの材料で形成された上面開口有底円筒状の容器である。この灰皿本体１０の開口内周面には、周方向にて略均等な間隔で複数(図示実施形態では６つ)の火消用筒部１４が設けられる。又、この灰皿本体１２の開口内周の前側には、吸い掛けのタバコを左右から挟持して仮置きするためのタバコ置き２４が設けられると共に、その開口の後側には、蓋体１６を起立倒伏可能に支持するヒンジ部２６が設けられる。 The ashtray main body 12 is for accommodating cigarette butts and ash, and is a top open bottomed cylindrical container made of a material such as a glass fiber reinforced flame retardant resin. On the inner peripheral surface of the opening of the ashtray main body 10, a plurality of (six in the illustrated embodiment) fire extinguishing cylinder portions 14 are provided at substantially equal intervals in the circumferential direction. A cigarette holder 24 is provided on the front side of the opening inner periphery of the ashtray main body 12 for holding the cigarette of the suck from left and right for temporary storage, and a lid 16 is provided on the rear side of the opening. A hinge portion 26 is provided which supports ups and downs.

火消用筒部１４は、その内部に配置された円柱状空間に火の点いたタバコの先端部を挿入してその火を消火する部材であり、この火消用筒部１４も上記の灰皿本体１２と同様にガラス繊維強化難燃性樹脂などの材料で形成される。
ここで、図示実施形態の灰皿１０では、この火消用筒部１４が縦方向に二分割され、一方の筒半体を灰皿本体１２の開口内周側に固定すると共に、この一方の筒半体に対して他方の筒半体が上記の円柱状空間をせん断する方向へ移動できるようにしている。こうすることで、主として灰とヤニ(タール)とで形成され、火消用筒部１４の円柱状空間に堆積する灰固形物を当該円柱状空間から容易に除去することができるようになる。
また、火消用筒部１４の円柱状空間は、上端入口側の径がタバコの外径よりも大きく、下端の径がタバコの外径よりも小さくなるテーパ状に形成されている。このため、この円柱状空間に挿入されたタバコ先端の燃焼部は、火消用筒部１４の内側面に接触して熱を奪われ、急激に温度が低下する。加えて、周囲からの酸素の供給も乏しくなるため酸素欠乏状態となり、タバコ先端の燃焼部の火が急速に消えるようになる。 The fire-extinguishing cylinder portion 14 is a member for inserting the tip end of the lighted cigarette into a cylindrical space disposed therein and extinguishing the fire, and the fire-extinguishing cylinder portion 14 is also the ashtray main body 12 described above. Similarly, it is formed of a material such as glass fiber reinforced flame retardant resin.
Here, in the ashtray 10 of the illustrated embodiment, the fire extinguishing cylinder portion 14 is divided into two in the longitudinal direction, and one of the cylinder halves is fixed to the inner peripheral side of the opening of the ashtray main body 12 On the other hand, the other half of the cylinder can move in the direction of shearing the above-mentioned cylindrical space. By doing this, it becomes possible to easily remove the ash solid matter which is mainly formed of ash and tar (tar) and is deposited in the cylindrical space of the fire extinguishing cylinder portion 14 from the cylindrical space.
Further, the cylindrical space of the fire extinguishing cylinder portion 14 is formed in a tapered shape in which the diameter at the upper end inlet side is larger than the outer diameter of the cigarette and the diameter at the lower end is smaller than the outer diameter of the cigarette. For this reason, the burning portion at the tip end of the cigarette inserted into the cylindrical space comes in contact with the inner side surface of the fire extinguishing cylinder portion 14 to be deprived of heat, and the temperature drops sharply. In addition, the supply of oxygen from the environment is also poor, resulting in an oxygen deprivation condition, and the fire in the burning section of the tobacco tip is extinguished rapidly.

蓋体１６は、灰皿本体１２の開口を開放及び密閉するための部材で、上記の灰皿本体１２と同様にガラス繊維強化難燃性樹脂などの材料で形成される。
この蓋体１６は、縦方向に或る程度の厚みを持って構成されると共に、その後部下端が上述したヒンジ部２６に連結される。そして、この蓋体１６の灰皿本体１２側の面(すなわち下面)には、当該蓋体１６で灰皿本体１２の開口を密閉した際に、火消用筒部１４に挿入したタバコの吸殻２２全体を収納できる凹部１８が設けられている(図２Ｂ参照)。そして、この凹部１８の蓋体１６外周側の内面には、必要に応じて、上方へ向かうにつれ蓋体１６の中心方向へ向かって傾斜する斜面２０が設けられる(図１及び２参照)。 The lid 16 is a member for opening and closing the opening of the ashtray main body 12 and is formed of a material such as a glass fiber reinforced flame retardant resin as in the case of the ashtray main body 12 described above.
The lid 16 is configured to have a certain thickness in the longitudinal direction, and the lower end of the rear portion is connected to the above-described hinge portion 26. Then, when the opening of the ashtray main body 12 is closed by the lid 16 on the surface (i.e., the lower surface) of the lid 16 on the side of the ashtray main body 12, the entire cigarette butt 22 inserted in the fire extinguishing cylinder portion 14 A recess 18 which can be stored is provided (see FIG. 2B). Then, on the inner surface on the outer peripheral side of the lid 16 of the recess 18, if necessary, an inclined surface 20 is provided which inclines toward the center of the lid 16 as it goes upward (see FIGS. 1 and 2).

次に、以上のように構成された灰皿１０を使用する際には、先ず始めに、この灰皿１０を図示しないドリンクホルダーなど、運転などに支障がない所定の設置場所に設置する。
次いで、タバコを喫煙する際には、蓋体１６を起立させて灰皿本体１２の開口を空けて、タバコの灰を灰皿本体１２内に落とすようにする。
そして、喫煙を終了する際には、先端部に火のついたタバコを火消用筒部１４に挿入すると共に、蓋体１６を倒伏させて灰皿本体１２の開口を密閉するだけで、一連の喫煙動作が完了する。 Next, when using the ashtray 10 comprised as mentioned above, first, this ashtray 10 is installed in the predetermined | prescribed installation places which have no trouble in operation etc., such as a drink holder which is not shown in figure.
Next, when smoking a cigarette, the lid 16 is erected to open the opening of the ashtray main body 12 so that the cigarette ash may be dropped into the ashtray main body 12.
Then, when smoking is ended, a cigarette with a fire at its tip is inserted into the fire extinguishing cylinder portion 14 and the lid 16 is laid down to seal the opening of the ashtray main body 12 to complete a series of smoking The operation is complete.

本実施形態の灰皿１０によれば、蓋体１６の灰皿本体１２側の面に、火消用筒部１４に挿入したタバコの吸殻２２全体を収納する凹部１８が設けられているので、上述のように、吸い終わったタバコを火消用筒部１４に挿入後、タバコの消火を待たず、直ちに蓋体１６で灰皿本体１２を密封することができる。このため、タバコが消火されるまでに発生する副流煙や吸殻２２の悪臭などが車室内へと拡散するのを防止することができると共に、このように直ぐに蓋体１６を閉めることにより灰皿本体１２内への酸素の供給も遮断でき、タバコの消火を促進することも可能となる。
また、喫煙を終えるときの動作が、タバコを火消用筒部１４に挿入して蓋体１６を閉めるだけなので、運転手がこの灰皿１０を使う場合には、灰皿１０に意識が向く時間を極少化でき、安全運転に資することもできる。 According to the ashtray 10 of the present embodiment, the concave portion 18 for housing the entire cigarette butt 22 inserted in the fire extinguishing cylinder portion 14 is provided on the surface of the lid 16 on the ashtray main body 12 side. After inserting the smoked cigarette into the fire-use cylinder 14, the ashtray body 12 can be immediately sealed by the lid 16 without waiting for the extinguishment of the cigarette. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the sidestream smoke generated by the time the cigarette is extinguished, the offensive odor of the buttock 22 and the like from being diffused into the vehicle compartment, and closing the lid 16 in this manner immediately The supply of oxygen into 12 can also be shut off, and it will also be possible to promote the extinction of tobacco.
In addition, since the action to finish smoking is only to insert the cigarette into the fire-use cylinder 14 and close the lid 16, when the driver uses this ashtray 10, the time for the consciousness to go to the ashtray 10 is minimal Can also contribute to safe driving.

さらに、本実施形態の灰皿１０では、火消用筒部１４を灰皿本体１２の開口内周面に沿って６つ設けているので、一の火消用筒部１４に吸殻２２が刺さった状態であっても、この吸殻２２を火消用筒部１４から除去することなく他の火消用筒部１４を使うことによって、設けられた火消用筒部１４の数だけ、灰皿１０の掃除をすることなく上述したような最小限の動作で繰り返し喫煙を楽しむことができる。 Furthermore, in the ashtray 10 of the present embodiment, six fire prevention cylinder portions 14 are provided along the opening inner peripheral surface of the ashtray main body 12, so that the butt 22 is stuck in one fire elimination cylinder portion 14 Even by using the other fire extinguishing cylinder 14 without removing the butt 22 from the fire extinguishing cylinder 14, the number of the fire extinguishing cylinder 14 provided is as described above without cleaning the ashtray 10. You can enjoy repeated smoking with the minimum action you did.

なお、上述の図示実施形態では、火消用筒部１４を６つ設ける場合を示したが、この火消用筒部１４は１つであってもよいし、６つ未満或いは６つより多い複数であってもよい。 In the above-described illustrated embodiment, the case where six fire extinguishing cylinder parts 14 are provided is shown, but the number of the fire extinguishing cylinder parts 14 may be one, or more than six or more than six. It may be.

また、図示実施形態では、凹部１８の内周面の略全周に亘って、上方へ向かうにつれ蓋体１６の中心方向へ向かって傾斜する斜面２０を設ける場合を示しているが、例えば、凹部１８の深さが十分に確保されているような場合には、この斜面２０を省略するようにしてもよい。 Further, in the illustrated embodiment, the case where the inclined surface 20 inclined toward the center direction of the lid 16 as it goes upward is provided over substantially the entire circumference of the inner peripheral surface of the recess 18; When the depth 18 is sufficiently secured, the slope 20 may be omitted.

その他に、当業者が想定できる範囲で種々の変更を行なえることは勿論である。 Besides, it goes without saying that various modifications can be made as far as the person skilled in the art can conceive.
