At this time, sand and fine ash fall from the bottom opening of the butts container 2 and enter the sand reservoir 7, and the butts remain on the filter 6 in the butts container 2. Therefore, remove the frame 3 from the sand reservoir 7. The butts are discarded, and the sand storage section 7 is reattached to supply new sand. Since the sand storage unit 7 has a capacity capable of storing sand for several times, it is not necessary to collect the sand each time the butts are discarded. When the sand storage portion 7 is filled with sand, the frame 3 is removed from the sand storage portion 7 and the sand is collected. Although fine ash and the like are mixed in this sand, it is preferable to wash it before discarding it before reuse.

In the ashtray 11 shown in FIGS.
Cigarette butt portion 12 having two skirt-shaped portions at symmetrical positions
Is provided in the frame 13, and on the other hand, two semi-circular shutters 1 in which an opening 15a communicating with the bottom opening of the butter container 12 is formed near the upper edge of the container-shaped sand reservoir 17

It is rotatably supported by the shaft 9 (see the phantom line in FIG. 3), and is normally horizontally supported by the upper surface of the support member 18 and the upper surface of the bracket 20 attached to the inner surface of the side of the sand storage portion 17. It should be noted that the filter 16 is provided near the bottom opening of the butts container 12.

When the butts container 12 is assembled to the sand reservoir 17, the lower end of the frame 13 is supported on the bracket 20 and the butts container 12 is attached as shown in FIG.
The bottom opening of the above contacts the upper surface of the shutter 15. Then, the bottom opening of the cigarette butt holder 12 and the opening 15a are used in a shifted state (position shown in FIG. 4 (a)).
The frame 13 is rotated while the bottom opening of the above is in sliding contact with the upper surface of the shutter 15, the positions of the bottom opening and the opening 15a are aligned, and sand and fine ash are dropped. Since the butts remain on the filter 16, the frame 13 is removed from the sand reservoir 17, the butts are discarded, and the butts are put back into the sand reservoir 7 to replenish the butts container 12 with new sand. Repeating this several times, when the sand storage section 17 is filled with sand and the frame 3 is removed and the sand storage section 17 is turned upside down, both shutters 15 rotate about the support shaft 19 to discharge the sand. can do. This sand is preferably collected, washed and then reused.

In the ashtray 21 shown in FIG. 5, a butt-shaped butt portion 22 is provided in a frame 23, and a bottom opening of the butt portion 22 slides on a guide 24 provided in the frame 23.
