Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a portable ashtray, and more particularly to a portable ashtray having excellent operability.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The conventional portable ashtray has a problem that it cannot be used with one-touch operation because it is only attached to the case made of non-combustible material.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a portable ashtray having an excellent operability in which the lid can be opened and closed by one-touch operation.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a holder having a cylindrical case with an open upper surface, which has a hook on the outer wall surface and an inner diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of a cigarette. Is fixed to the inner wall surface of the case. In addition, a spring is provided at the upper edge of the case to urge the lid, which is hingedly openable and closable, in the opening direction. Further, it is characterized in that a stopper for closing and holding the lid against the spring and a releasing means for releasing the stopper to release the constraint on the lid are provided.

[0005]

[Action]

 The case can be attached to the body by hooking the hook provided on the outer surface of the case to a belt or the like. Further, the lid hinged to the upper end of the case is closed and held by a stopper against the biasing force of the spring.

When the stopper is released, the lid is automatically opened by the urging force of the spring to expose the holder, so that ash or the like can be dropped into the case. In addition, since the holder is formed into a cylindrical shape with a bottom, it is possible to insert a lit cigarette into the holder and hold it. After use, if the lid is closed and rotated against the spring, the stopper engages and holds the lid closed.Therefore, even if the case tilts due to exercise, ash or butts may scatter. Absent.

[0007]

[Effect of device]

 According to the portable ashtray according to the present invention, since the stopper normally holds the lid closed, scattering of ash or cigarette butts is prevented, and the case is automatically released when the releasing means is operated to release the stopper. The holder can be opened and closed with a so-called one-touch operation because it is opened to expose the holder. Also, since the holder is provided in the case, it is possible to securely insert and hold ignited cigarettes in the holder.

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a portable ashtray according to the present invention. FIG. 1 is an external perspective view, FIG. 2 is a perspective view with a lid open, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing details of a holder. 4 is a perspective view showing the details of the stopper and the releasing means, FIG. 5 is a side view with the lid opened, and FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG.

In these drawings, a hook (1) made of an elastic body is welded and fixed to an outer wall surface of a case (2). The case (2) is formed into a bottomed cylinder whose upper surface is open. In the embodiment, the case (2) is formed of a flat-bottomed rectangular tubular body with a bottom having a wide wall to which the hook (1) is attached, so that the hook (1) is inserted into a belt (not shown) or the like. In this case, the case (2) is made to fit the body easily. Further, the upper edge of the case (2) is obliquely cut out so that the hook (1) side is lower, and a lid (3) is provided on the upper end of a wide wall opposite to the wall on which the hook (1) is attached. Is attached by a hinge pin (4) so as to be freely opened and closed. By interposing a spring (not shown) between the case (2) and the lid (3), the lid (3) is rotationally biased in the opening direction by the biasing force of this spring.

Inside the narrow wall surface of the case (2), a lower end of a stopper (5) made of an elastic body is fixed with a rivet (6). On the outer surface near the upper end of the stopper (5), there is provided a projection (8) which is inserted into the recess (7) formed on the inner surface of the lid (3), and the projection (8) is formed into the recess (7). ) To hold the lid (3) in a closed state against the urging force of a spring (not shown). When the stopper (5) is elastically deformed inward as shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. 6 by pushing in the button (9) protruding to the outer surface of the case (2), the protrusion (8) of the stopper (5) ) Is detached from the recess (7) of the lid (3), the lid (3) is automatically rotated by the urging force of the spring, and the upper surface of the case (2) is opened.

On the other hand, the holder (10) is fixed to the inner wall surface of the case (2) on the side where the lid (3) is hinged. The holder (10) is formed of, for example, a cylinder having an inner diameter of about 8.5 mm, and the upper end of the holder (10) is formed of an inclined surface that is inclined outward. In addition, the bottom surface of the holder (10) is provided with a rough mesh-shaped ash removal plate (11), and a window hole (12) is formed in the peripheral wall surface near the lower end of the holder (10) to form a holder (10). The cigarette fire that was inserted into and held in 10) does not automatically extinguish. The ash that has fallen into the holder (10) falls into the case (2) through the gap of the ash drop plate (11).

Further, by mounting the inner case (13) inside the case (2), it is possible to prevent the stopper (5) and the like from projecting to the inner surface of the case (2) and upward, and also to cover the lid (3). It looks good when opened. Reference numeral (14) is a ring provided at the center of the upper end of the hook (1). By passing a string or the like through the ring (14), the portability of the case (2) is improved and, if necessary, the case ( 2) is tied and fixed.

In the portable ashtray configured as described above, the case (2) can be attached to the body by hooking the hook (1) on a belt or the like. The lid (3) hinged to the upper end of the case (2) is held closed by a stopper (5) against the biasing force of a spring.

When the button (9) is pushed and deformed by pushing the stopper (5) inward, the projection (8) provided at the upper end of the button (9) is detached from the recess (7) of the lid (3) and the lid (3) is removed. ), The lid (3) is automatically opened by the biasing force of the spring to expose the holder (10). Therefore, the cigarette can be inserted and held in the holder (5), or ash or the like can be dropped into the case.

A window hole (12) is provided in the vicinity of the lower end of the holder (5) to reduce the contact area between the holder (5) and the cigarette, and sufficient air can be supplied to the cigarette inserted in the holder (5). Therefore, the cigarette inserted into the holder (5) and held therein will not be extinguished.

On the other hand, after using the ashtray, if the lid (3) is rotated in the closing direction against the spring, the projection (8) of the stopper (5) projects into the recess (7) of the lid (3). Since the lid (3) is engaged to hold the lid (3) in the closed state, the ash or the cigarette husks will not scatter even if the case (2) tilts due to movement or the like.

When the bottom surface of the holder (5) has a mesh shape as in the embodiment, the ash is accumulated inside the holder (5) while preventing the cigarettes inserted into the holder (5) from falling off. There is an advantage that can prevent. In addition, when the upper end of the holder (5) is formed of an inclined surface oblique to the length direction of the holder (5) as in the embodiment, the opening area of the upper end of the holder (5) can be increased. The operability of inserting a cigarette becomes high. Furthermore, when the case (2) is formed into a flat rectangular tube shape as in the embodiment, the familiarity when attaching the case (2) to the body using the hook (1) can be enhanced.
