Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] The present invention relates to an ashtray.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional ashtray is provided with water for fire extinguishing, and a cigarette butt is put into the water tank. This form of ashtray can reliably extinguish a cigarette's fire in the ashtray, however, it is also cumbersome and unsanitary to discard water and butts in a mixed state, There was even an inconvenience that the sewage splashed off due to the mixture of water and butts that came out so quickly that soiled clothes and the like. Also,
During the use of the ashtray, since the butts collected in the water were visible from the inlet, discomfort could not be forbidden.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is possible to surely extinguish a cigarette fire and to easily and sanitarily dispose of a cigarette butt. It is an object of the present invention to provide an ashtray having a comfortable use feeling.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, an invention according to a first aspect of the present invention is directed to an ashtray body for containing a fire extinguishing liquid, an ashtray removably mounted on the ashtray body. A lid provided with an inlet for putting a butts in the body, and a drainage hole for discharging the used liquid is provided at a location corresponding to the ashtray body and the lid, respectively. The drainage hole can be opened and closed by turning a lid over the main body.

[0005] Here, water is generally used as a fire extinguishing liquid, but a deodorizing liquid having an effect of decomposing odors is more preferable. As the deodorant liquid, a natural plant extract dissolved in a solvent, a plant extract which is a natural fragrance generally used as a fragrance or a perfume, or an animal source dissolved in a solvent, a synthetic fragrance dissolved in a solvent. thing,
What mixed these deodorant liquids with water and other liquids is included.

The shape of the ashtray main body is not limited as long as it is a container main body having an open top. It suffices that the lid has a function of covering the ashtray body, covering the inside of the ashtray body, and having a function of putting a butt into the ashtray body. The ashtray body and lid are desirably made of a heat-resistant material such as metal, ceramics, glass, or plastics having excellent heat resistance. It is suitable for preventing bad smell or propagation of various bacteria.

[0007] The drain hole is for discharging the liquid in the ashtray body which has been used for extinguishing the cigarette butts with the lid covered, and the size of the hole accumulates inside. It is set so that the discharge of the butts is prevented and only the liquid flows out. Therefore, the shape of the hole set in this way is not particularly limited, and there are various shapes such as a horizontally long hole, a circular hole, and an elliptical hole.

[0008] Means for attaching and detaching the lid to be put on the ashtray main body include screwing means with a screw, pressing means with a ring-shaped packing,
Alternatively, the lid can be removed by the surface contact means between the ashtray body and the lid, and when the ashtray is tilted and the liquid flows out from the drainage hole, the lid is stably covered with the ashtray body. It suffices to have a connected state that does not fall from the ashtray body.

With this configuration, the cigarette butts put into the ashtray body from the inlet are surely extinguished by the liquid contained in the ashtray body. By tilting the ashtray to allow the used liquid to flow out of the drainage hole in advance, it is easy to treat the remaining butts. The shape and number of the drain holes are not limited.

The drain hole is provided at a position corresponding to the ashtray body and the lid, and the drain hole is configured to be openable and closable by rotating the lid over the ashtray body. The drain hole can be closed when used, and the drain hole can be opened in order to discharge the used fire extinguishing liquid when the butts are cleaned up. At this time, one of the drainage holes provided at the corresponding position between the ashtray main body and the lid may be cut off.

If the width or diameter of the cigarette is substantially equal to the thickness (diameter) of the cigarette and the width or diameter of the hole into which the butts can be charged is formed as the above-mentioned inlet, the butts accumulated in the ashtray body can be almost seen from the outside. Will not be.

In the first aspect of the invention, the ashtray main body and the lid are formed separately, but they may be formed integrally as in the second aspect of the invention. In other words, an ash receiver is provided at the top with an opening for the butts that also serves as a butts outlet, and a butt storage for storing fire extinguishing liquid is provided at the bottom, with a narrowed space between the ash receiver and the butts storage. And a drain hole for discharging the used liquid is provided in the constricted portion.

[0013] The shape of the ashtray according to the second aspect of the present invention is not particularly limited, and the position where the drain hole is disposed is constricted, so that the used liquid leaves the butts in the reservoir. It suffices if the liquid can be smoothly discharged from the drain hole. Further, the ash receiving portion has a mounting portion necessary for storing tobacco ash and tobacco to be sucked, and an input port for dropping cigarette butts into a lower storage portion. The butts inlet also serves as an outlet for discarding the butts in the storage part remaining after the used liquid is drained from the drain hole. The location where the butts inlet port, which also serves as the butts outlet port, is provided is not necessarily limited to the central part of the ash receiver, and may be a biased location, and the opening shape may be circular, semicircular, elliptical, or square. It can be implemented in various shapes such as shapes. Furthermore, the size of the opening must be a size that does not hinder the input and output of the butts, but as much as possible to make the butts stored inside less visible to the user. It is desirable to make it smaller.

[0014]
