[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a portable ashtray to be carried and used as an ashtray.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In recent years, portable ashtrays have gradually become widespread and are helping to prevent cigarette butts from being thrown away on the streets. In particular, cigarette filters are extremely slow in natural decomposition and remain indefinitely once thrown away, leading to environmental problems. The effects can be enormous. As a portable ashtray, for example, a lid is opened around a hinge and a cigarette butt is stored on the tray side, or a slide lid is attached to a window hole drilled in a part of the top of the lid. When storing butts, there is a type in which the sliding lid is slid linearly to open a window and close after use.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, among the above-mentioned conventional portable ashtrays, the former lid is opened with a hinge, since the pan is completely open, so that the stored butts fall out or the ash scatters by the wind. And the lack of cleanliness due to the visible butts.

Further, in the latter type in which the lid is slid, the slide lid must be slidably attached to the upper surface of the lid, so that the slide mechanism itself is liable to play during frequent use. However, the service life was not so long.

[0005] In addition, the above two types have a common configuration today, and are therefore almost fixed in design and lack novelty. Therefore, if a smoker always wants to carry and use it. In the end, it was not used any more, which slowed the spread of portable ashtrays.

[0006] The present invention has been proposed in view of the above, and is capable of securely storing a cigarette butt, has a long service life, and is novel in design with a novel configuration, and has been used for many years. A portable ashtray is provided.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. First, a first embodiment of the portable ashtray of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the portable ashtray of the present invention in the open state, FIG. 2 is a top view of the portable ashtray in the closed state, FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the portable ashtray, and FIG. It is AA sectional drawing of FIG. In these figures, a portable ashtray 1 according to the present invention comprises an ashtray body 2 comprising a cylindrical tray 3 and a lid 4 placed on the tray 3, and an ashtray body 2 when attached to the ashtray body 2 from the side. And a holding body 5 for holding the ashtray body 2 rotatably while holding the ashtray body 2 in a light pressure contact with the body from above and below.

The receiving tray 3 and the lid 4 are both formed by pressing a steel plate material into a concave shape. Male screws are provided on the outer periphery of the upper portion 3U of the receiving tray 3 and on the inner periphery of the lower portion 4L of the lid 4. A female screw is cut, and the two 3 and 4 are integrated by screwing in, and constitute the ashtray body 2. In the center of the bottom surface 3a of the receiving tray 3, a circular rotation guide portion 31 is provided so as to protrude outward at a height of about several mm. On the upper surface 4a of the lid 4, an elliptical butts insertion hole 8 is formed along the circumferential direction.

The holding body 5 has elasticity formed by injection-molding a resin, and has a side surface portion 51 facing the outer peripheral surface 2 a of the ashtray main body 2, and upper and lower edges of the side surface portion 51. An upper surface 52 and a lower surface 53 extend in the same direction from the edge. The side surface 51 has a shape that spreads like a fan from the upper edge to the lower edge. The upper surface portion 52 and the lower surface portion 53 extend while being slightly inclined inward, and the distance between the upper surface portion 52 and the lower surface portion 53 becomes slightly smaller toward the distal end side with respect to the side surface portion 51. ing.

The upper surface portion 52 is substantially rectangular and plate-shaped, and its front end in the length direction is widened in the width direction to form a fan shape. Thus, a projection 6a having a substantially elliptical shape is provided (FIG. 4), and the projection 6a is designed to enter the buttocks hole 8. When the protruding portion 6 a falls into the butts insertion hole 8, the rotation of the ashtray main body 2 is securely locked by the holding body 5. As shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of protrusions 61a are formed on the bottom surface of the protrusion 6a. Further, the longitudinal end of the upper surface 52 is folded down along the corner shape of the lid 4, and a small hole 7 a for string passing is provided in the projection 7 protruding from the outer surface of the folded-down portion 52 b.

As shown in FIG. 3, the lower surface portion 53 has two branch portions 531 and 532 extending bifurcated from the lower end edge of the side surface portion 51, and the two branch portions 531 and 532 are opposed to each other. Curved portions 531b and 532b that are in sliding contact with the periphery of the rotation guide portion 31 are recessed at the edges 531a and 532a.

When the holding body 5 is attached to the ashtray main body 2, the upper surface portion 52 and the lower surface portion 53 are tilted inward from each other and the elastic force of the resin makes the ashtray main body 2 from above and below. Lightly press in between.

The two branch portions 531 and 532 of the lower surface portion 53 sandwich the rotation guide portion 31 between the curved portions 531 b and 532 b, and the ashtray main body 2 is rotatable about the central axis of the ashtray main body 2. Supported. That is, when the ashtray body 2 is rotated while holding the holding body 5 in this state, the curved portions 531b and 532b are guided by the periphery of the rotation guide portion 31 and slide, and the ashtray body 2 The main body 2 is rotatable about a center line as a rotation axis.

In the portable ashtray 1 having the above configuration, when the ashtray main body 2 is mounted on the holding body 5 and the ashtray main body 2 is rotated, the protruding portion 6 a is capable of entering and leaving the butts insertion hole 8. Become. That is, since the holding body 5 lightly presses the ashtray main body 2 from above and below, when the ashtray main body 2 is rotated so that the protruding portion 6a and the butts insertion hole 8 are opposed to each other, the protruding portion 6a becomes As a result, the portable ashtray 1 is closed. At that position, the ashtray body 2 is securely locked to the holding body 5. Further, in the closed state, when the upper surface 53 of the holding body 5 is lightly pushed upward, the holding body 5 is lifted up with its elasticity and flexibly, so that the protruding portion 6a comes out of the butt inlet hole 8. Therefore, when the ashtray main body 2 is rotated in this state, the protruding portion 6a is separated from the butts insertion hole 8, and the butts insertion hole 8 appears from the cover of the upper surface 53 and is opened. When the rotation is stopped at a position where the butts insertion hole 8 is completely open, the portable ashtray 1 is opened. At this time, since the holding body 5 sandwiches and holds the ashtray main body 2 with its elasticity, the pressing force functions as a stopper, and the ashtray main body 2 keeps the lid open without rotating. At this time, the plurality of protrusions 61a formed on the bottom surface of the protruding portion 6a press the upper surface 4a of the lid 4, so that the pressing force of the holding body 5 is further increased.

When the smoker uses the portable ashtray 1, the user holds the holding body 5 with one hand, turns the ashtray body 2 with the other hand, and puts the protrusion 6a into the butts. It is separated from the hole 8 and the butts inlet hole 8 is completely opened. Then, the cigarette butts and ash are put into the butt inlet 8 and stored inside. As described above, since the lid 4 enters the inside through the buttocks insertion hole 8, there is no need to open the entire lid 4, so that the butts and ash can be securely stored inside.

On the other hand, when the portable ashtray 1 is closed after smoking, the ashtray main body 2 is turned by hand to make the protruding portion 6 a fall into the butt insertion hole 8. At this time, the butts insertion hole 8 is in a fully closed state, so that the stored butts are securely sealed and the ashtray main body 2 is in a state of being held by the holding body 5, so that the smoker can use the portable ashtray 1. You can end up in bags, pochettes, pockets, etc. with peace of mind.

Since the portable ashtray 1 is provided with a small hole 7a for passing a string, a string is passed through the small hole 7a for passing a string, and the portable ashtray 1 is tied to a band, a belt, or the like, and is carried. You can also carry it hanging from your neck.

Further, a folded portion 52 b is provided at the longitudinal end of the upper surface portion 52 of the holding body 5, and when the protruding portion 6 a falls into the butts insertion hole 8, the folded portion 52 b is turned into a corner of the ashtray body 2. As a result, the locking and closing of the ashtray body 2 by the holding body 5 can be made more reliable.

Further, since the side surface portion 51 of the holding body 5 is formed into a fan shape from the upper end edge to the lower end edge, the holding body 5 can receive the ashtray body 2 with a larger area, and stably support the ashtray body 2. Can be rotated.

As described above, in this embodiment, the ashtray main body 2 is sandwiched and supported by the holding body 5, and the ashtray input hole 8 is opened and closed by rotating the ashtray main body 2. There are no parts that break down when used, and therefore their service life can be greatly improved.

The holding body 5 does not come off from the ashtray main body 2 unless it is forcibly expanded in the vertical direction, and the holding body 5 and the ashtray main body 2 are always integrally formed in a normal use form. You can always use it safely without worrying that it will fall out.

Further, such a configuration in which the ashtray body 2 is rotated between the holding bodies 5 is a novel configuration which has never been seen before, and is therefore novel in terms of design. Attachment becomes stronger and can be carried and used over many years, which can contribute to the spread of portable ashtrays.

When the butts and ash stored in the ashtray body 2 are discarded in a trash box, the holding body 5 is slightly extended vertically to pull out the ashtray body 2, and then loosen the screwing of the lid body 4. By simply removing the lid 4, it can be easily discarded. In addition, since the lid 4 and the tray 3 can be easily separated in this manner, there is no narrow portion where the hand is not accessible at the time of washing, and the washing can be performed easily and sufficiently by hand. .

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 5, 6 and 7. FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the appearance of a portable ashtray according to a second embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 6 is a top view in a closed state, and FIG. 7 is a sectional view taken along the line BB of FIG. In the second embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted.

The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that shallow concave recesses 9m and 9n are formed in the upper surface 4a of the lid 4, and also the buttocks input hole 8m and the concave 9 m and 9n are formed in a circular shape with an inclined surface, and the projecting portion 6m of the holding body 5 is formed in a circular shape with an inclined surface accordingly, and the upper surface portion 52m of the holding body 5 is substantially formed. It is rectangular in shape, and curved portions 520m and 520m are provided at the center of the edge to avoid interference with the butts insertion hole 8m and the recesses 9m and 9n.

The recesses 9m and 9n and the butts insertion hole 8m are substantially perpendicular to the center point of the upper surface 4a of the lid 4, and the recesses 9m and 9n are Point symmetrical position. Furthermore, an inclined surface 80m is formed on the circular periphery of the buttocks input hole 8m, and an inclined surface 60m is also formed on the circular periphery of the protruding portion 6m, and the circular peripheral edges of the concave portions 9m and 9n are also formed accordingly. Similarly, it has an inclined surface that is inclined inward.

In the second embodiment, since the concave portions 9m and 9n are provided, the smoker rotates the ashtray main body 2 to make the protruding portion 6m into the concave portion 9m when the smoker is used with the butts insertion hole 8m opened. , 9n. In this state, since the protruding portion 6m is firmly recessed in the recesses 9m and 9n, the ashtray main body 2 is in a state of being locked by the holding body 5, and the smoker can open the cigarette butt insertion hole 8m by opening. It can be stably held and can be used conveniently even when moving, such as when walking.

Further, in the second embodiment, since the two concave portions 9m and 9n are provided, the ashtray main body 2 is rotated in an arbitrary direction when opening and closing the buttocks inlet hole 8m without considering the rotating direction. This makes the portable ashtray 1 easier to use.

In the above description, the lid 4 and the tray 3 are integrated by screwing, but may be integrated by other means, for example, simply by fitting.
