DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an ashtray for automobiles having a cover which can be opened and closed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various types of ashtrays have been attached to instrument panels and the like of automobiles. this house,
The most common drawer-type ashtray has a structure in which the body of the ashtray is pulled out from the guide case attached to the instrument panel and used, so if the change lever is close to the ashtray, the driver who moves during the shift operation Hands could hit the ashtray and jam.

Therefore, there has been proposed an automobile ashtray having a structure provided with a lid which can be opened and closed as shown in FIGS. The automobile ashtray 51 shown in FIG. 11 has an ashtray main body 53 attached to the instrument panel 52 side, and a lid 54 for opening and closing the opening of the ashtray main body 53.
Numeral 4 is attached to the lower portion of the ashtray main body 53 so as to rotate about the lower end portion, and is configured to open downward. The ashtray 61 for an automobile shown in FIG. 12 has an ashtray main body 63 mounted on the instrument panel 62 side, and a lid 64 that opens and closes an opening of the ashtray main body 63. The lid 64 has an upper end portion. Is mounted on both sides of the ashtray body 63 so as to rotate around the center of the ashtray body 63. When the ashtray body is opened, the upper end portion is configured to open upward on the upper surface side of the ashtray body 63.

[0004]

However, in the case of the above-described automobile ashtray 51 having a downward opening, it is easy to use because the ash of the tobacco T is dropped on the open lid 54 for use.
Cigarette T when had been discarded, such as paper on the lid body 54 is Moeutsuri on paper, combustible materials of the upper lid 54 is likely to catch fire. Therefore, in order to prevent burning when the flame rises on the lid 54, the instrument panel 52
Needs to be formed in a shape inclined upward toward the front of the vehicle body, which is disadvantageous in the layout of the instrument panel 52.

On the other hand, in the case of an ashtray 61 for an automobile which is opened upward, the open lid 64 also serves as a fire prevention plate, so that it is possible to prevent the burning of the upper part of the lid 64. To be discarded directly into the ashtray body 63, which is substantially farther away than the drawer type ashtray,
In addition, there is a disadvantage that the lid 64 is jammed when the ash of the tobacco T is dropped, making it difficult to use.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide an ashtray for automobiles which is easy to use and has excellent fire resistance.

[0007]

Guide rails with guide grooves on the upper left and right sides of the body
Parts are provided integrally along the vehicle body front and rear direction,
The fire prevention plate is attached to the ashtray body to cover the upper part of the lid in the open state.
It is formed larger than the width in the left-right direction.
The mounting piece is provided by bending
And a guide member formed substantially in an L shape on the mounting piece.
The horizontal part is fixed, and the guide is provided on one side of the horizontal part.
A V-shaped guide section corresponding to the guide groove of the rail section protrudes.
And the fire prevention plate guides the guide portion to the guide.
The guide member is inserted into the guide groove of the rail portion to thereby
Slidably mounted on the upper part of the ashtray body through the horizontal part of
And the tip of the vertical portion of the guide member is on both sides of the lid.
Each is connected to the side .

[0008]

In the ashtray for a car according to the present invention, the ashes of tobacco are dropped on the lid that has been opened by rotation, and when the lid is opened, the fire prevention plate slides on the ashtray body and comes out of the case. Since it covers the upper part of the body, it is easy to use without being touched during the shift operation, and even if the flame rises on the lid, the upper combustible material will not burn. And the fire plate is an ashtray
Because it is formed larger than the width in the left and right direction of the body,
The fire resistance is improved, and the usability of the ashtray for automobiles is also improved. Ma
When the lid is opened, the guide part of the guide member and the ashtray body
The fire prevention plate is
It slides and is automatically placed above the fire extinguisher on the lid.
Use of automobile ashtrays with fire protection
It works.
