Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is mainly used for the front part of various game machines such as pachinko machines, arrange ball machines, sparrow ball machines, slot machines, and the seats and passages of various vehicles such as trains, buses, ships, and airplanes. The present invention relates to a set-up ashtray that is installed in walls, passages of various facilities such as stations, hospitals, hotels, halls, and walls of rest rooms.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In contrast to this type of mobile ashtray, the installation-type ashtray installed on a certain object can be changed in posture between the ash receiving position and the inverted non-receiving position in consideration of cleaning when removing accumulated ash. I have to. As shown in FIG. 11, an ashtray main body B is arranged adjacent to the lower plate D of the pachinko ball P, and the ashtray main body B is arranged around the support shaft R as shown in FIG. The ash receiving position (solid line) with the ashtray main body B locked to the locking step S and the ash receiving port T facing upward by the shaft support, and the engagement at the locking step S by turning forward. The posture can be freely changed to a non-accepting position (imaginary line) in which the stop is removed and the ash receiving port T faces downward. Thus, at the time of cleaning, the ash receiving port T is directed downward so that the accumulated ash can be dropped into a collection box or the like.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the above, the ashtray body B is locked to the locking step S, and the ash receiving position with the ash receiving port T facing upward is normally in a natural use state, and the inverted non-receiving position. Is only a temporary condition for cleaning. This is because, in the non-receiving position, the ashtray main body B is in a state of swinging back and forth around the support shaft R.
[0004]
By the way, in recent years, due to the wave of smoke-removal movements, specific game machine rows in pachinko halls and specific seating areas such as aircraft have been quitted. Although it is conceivable to prepare two types of gaming machines and seats, a specification with an ashtray for smoking and a specification without an ashtray for smoking cessation, the cost increases. In addition, it becomes difficult to cope with changing the ratio of smoking seats / non-smoking seats later, or changing gaming machines between chain stores.
[0005]
For this reason, in practice, it is often the case that a specific gaming machine line is quit smoking and a specific seat number is quitted by a signboard or the like, and a user's cooperation is often performed. However, since the ashtray is installed and the ash inlet is facing up in a natural state to accept ash, even if it is a non-smoking seat, smokers ignore it and smoke May smoke. It wasn't as unacceptable for smokers as smoking in a non-smoking area, and it was something that caused trouble. In addition, if the ash entrance of a non-smoking seat is covered with gummed tape or the like, it takes time and harms the aesthetics.
[0006]
The present invention has been reviewed so far only in a state of accepting ash in a natural state, and by adding an aspect in which ash is not accepted in a natural state, an installed ashtray satisfying both smokers and non-smokers The main purpose is to provide
