Description

  The present invention has a fire extinguishing water tank, the center of the water tank is exposed above the water surface, and the exposed portion is provided with a butt inlet, and the butt is recovered in a butt collection basket provided immediately below. This is an ashtray.

Although the method of putting the cigarette into the water tank as in Patent Document 1 has been thorough from the viewpoint of fire extinguishing, it is also a problem in terms of malodor and aesthetics emitted from the cigarette and the like. Furthermore, during the cleaning, there will be saliva etc. that have been unwound from the tobacco leaves and adhering to the tobacco filter, and it takes time and effort to separate the solid matter such as cigarette butts by filtering the liquid. It takes a lot of time and is very problematic in terms of hygiene.
In addition, as in Patent Document 2, when a water tank is provided only for fire extinguishing and the cigarette butt is accommodated from another hole, the butt collides with the bottom of the water tank when smoking or fire extinguishing. As a result, the tip end portion is crushed and a part is collapsed and dropped, so that the hole tends to be clogged, and a bad odor is likely to be generated from the portion.
The present invention is intended to solve these problems.

  An ashtray comprising a fire extinguishing water tank dedicated to extinguishing a cigarette at the upper opening of the cigarette butt, wherein the center of the bottom of the fire extinguishing water tank protrudes greatly upward, and has a cigarette shell inlet on the upper surface of the protruding part.

  An ashtray having a butterfly collection basket just below the butterfly inlet.

  An ashtray having a lid having an opening larger than a protruding portion of the fire fighting water tank.

An example of the main parts configuration of the ashtray of the present invention is shown in FIGS.
By placing a cigarette collection basket 400 on the inner bottom of the cylindrical appearance 300, disposing the fire-extinguishing water tank 200 on it, and further disposing the lid 100 on the upper part, the cigarette collection basket 400 is blocked from the ambient air around the ashtray. Only the inlet b is left. The cigarette ash itself has no odor but the butts give off a bad odor.
In the present ashtray, only one buttocks inlet b is used in order to avoid touching the outside air as much as possible. Moreover, the cooling effect | action by fully filling the fire-extinguishing water tank 200 with the fire-extinguishing water f also has an effect of suppressing the odor from the lower butt from diffusing into the outside air.

  The appearance of this ashtray under use is only that ash is contained in the fire-fighting water tank 200, and it does not greatly impair the aesthetic appearance, and the generation of odor from the ashtray is very small. One of the major features is that this state is maintained for a long time.

Regarding the cleaning operation of the ashtray, the fire extinguishing water tank 200 containing only ash is less contaminated, and the washing and replacement of water can be easily performed. Further, the cigarette collection basket 400 may be used directly as it is, but if the plastic bag g is set in advance, the collection and cleaning are facilitated.
Overall, the effect of shortening the cleaning work time is extremely high.

It is a front view which shows the Example of the cleaning easy ashtray of this invention. It is AB sectional drawing of FIG.

  The water surface area a of the fire-fighting water tank 200 through the lid 100 having a large opening d is wide enough to extinguish the cigarette and has a sufficient water depth, so that it touches the wall and bottom surface of the water tank during fire-fighting. Then, there is no worry that the shape will collapse, and only a small amount of ash falls in the water tank. This creates a situation in which the residue of the incompletely burned portion of the odor source tobacco is difficult to fall off. Furthermore, fire extinguishment is instantaneous, there is no colored material that dissolves from the butts into the water for extinguishing f, and at this time, the tip of the butts is solidified by absorbing water and there is no ash scattering, so Insertion and dropping are facilitated, and it can be accommodated in a butterfly collection basket 400 provided immediately below.

  The lid 100 has a large opening d at the center, and the top surface is inclined from the outer periphery toward the center. This inclination is also for preventing rolling outward when used as a temporary storage place for tobacco smoking.

The ash at the time of smoking the cigarette is dropped into the fire-extinguishing water tank 200 through the opening d of the lid 100 to prevent the ash from scattering.
The smoked butt is extinguished once in the fire extinguishing water tank 200, inserted and dropped from the butt input b, and collected in the butt collection basket 400 installed at the lower part.
As described above, the ash is separated and collected in the digestion water tank 200 and the butts are collected in the cigarette collection basket 400.

Even in this ashtray, if the butts are thrown into the digestive water tank 200 in a casual manner, the aesthetics will be immediately lost, and in an environment where a plurality of people use them, this chain action may be invited. This ashtray places great importance on aesthetics, but it is left to the user to maintain the correct usage. Therefore, it is important to make known how to use it.
For this purpose, the lid 100 needs to have a display reminiscent of how to use it, and it is better to indicate the cigarette butt opening b with an arrow.

  In the present ashtray, the main part has been shown. However, when the height to the ashtray surface is changed depending on the place of use or the like, the height of the cylindrical appearance 300 of the ashtray is changed. In that case, it is easily determined that a partition plate is provided inside the cylindrical appearance 300, and the cigarette butt collection basket 400 is placed thereon.

This ashtray can also be configured with a rectangular tube appearance and does not stick to the cylindrical appearance, but in general it is more convenient to have a cylindrical appearance because of its manufacturing, handling and cleaning surfaces .
Here, outline main dimensions are shown as an example of a cylindrical appearance.
c ------ Outer diameter of lid 100 200 mmφ
d ------ Opening diameter of lid 100 120 mmφ
The main dimension of the fire-extinguishing water tank 200 accommodated in the inside is shown.
b ----- Represents a butt opening and its hole diameter is 12mmφ.
e ------ height of fire fighting water tank 200 100 mm
In addition, the ashtray described in the present embodiment is merely an example, and for example, the height of the central protrusion of the fire fighting water tank may be higher than the height of the previous fire fighting water tank.
