DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a part of an operation panel of a vehicle (not shown), in which a plug receiving portion 2 for supporting a later-described plug 3 on an electrode 4 side is arranged. At the other end of the plug 3, a control circuit 6 built in the case 5 is provided.
Is provided with an arithmetic circuit 6A and a transmission circuit 6B. 7
Is a switch for remotely controlling the in-vehicle air purifier body 41 incorporated in the rear tray of the car, and 8 is a commonly used cigar lighter, which is provided on the case 5 when igniting a cigarette. When the heater (not shown) in the cigar lighter 8 is pushed into the unit 11 and is heated to a certain temperature, the heater is automatically pushed back. Reference numeral 9 denotes an infrared light emitting diode for sending an operation signal to the vehicle air purifier main body 41, and reference numeral 10 denotes a gas sensor for detecting the smoke of tobacco. The electrode 4 is electrically connected to a control circuit 6.

The operation of the above configuration is as follows. When the plug 3 is inserted into the plug receiving portion 2, the electrode 4 is electrically connected to a battery (not shown) of the vehicle, and the control circuit 6 is energized. Then, when the switch 7 is operated, the infrared light emitting diode 9 is transmitted from the transmission circuit 6B.
Signal is sent, the infrared signal from the infrared light-emitting diode 9 can be far septum manipulating body is sent to the vehicle-mounted air purifier body 41. Once switch 7 is operated,
The gas sensor 10 for detecting the smoke of the cigarette operates, the signal from the gas sensor 10 is processed by the arithmetic circuit 6A, and the main body is automatically operated as required.

When the driver or assistant wants to light a cigarette, the cigarette lighter 8 is pushed into the cigarette lighter receiving portion 11 provided in the case 5 as in the conventional case, and the temperature of the cigarette lighter 8 reaches a predetermined temperature. When pushed outward, it can be pulled out and lit tobacco.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. Reference numeral 8A denotes a cylindrical portion which is located at one end of the cigar lighter 8 and has a built-in heater (not shown) for igniting tobacco.
