The slide operation of the inner case 100 can be locked by entering 121 and being caught by the locking piece 122. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the inner case 100 from falling off from the main body portion 210 of the outer case 200. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the tobacco ash and butts from spilling out.

  Further, when the main body 210 (outer case 200) and the inner case 100 are separated, the inner case 100 is simply pulled out from the main body 210 while the leaf spring 120 is pushed into the recess 112, and the locking convexity is obtained. The locked state between the portion 212a and the locking piece 122 can be easily released. Therefore, the portable ashtray 1 and the cigarette case 300 can be easily separated, and the processing of the cigarette ash and butts in the portable ashtray 1 and the cleaning of the portable ashtray 1 can be easily performed.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the height and width of the portable ashtray 1 are set to be substantially the same as the height and width of the cigarette case 300, but are not necessarily limited to such a configuration. Instead, the height and width of the portable ashtray 1 can be changed as appropriate. However, in consideration of convenience in carrying, it is desirable that the height and width of the portable ashtray 1 be substantially the same as or less than the height and width of the cigarette case 300.

  The present invention can be used as a portable ashtray that can be integrated with a cigarette case with a simple structure and can be separated from the cigarette case.
