Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an ashtray.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An ordinary ashtray has the following problems. (A) Ash scatters from wind. (A) It becomes unpleasant due to the bad smell from the cigarette butts. (C) To extinguish the fire, you have to press the cigarette against the ashtray, which is troublesome and may cause burns. Especially while driving a car, there is a risk that the driver may neglect to drive because of the extinguishing of cigarettes, resulting in an accident. This problem is one reason that littering of cigarettes from cars is not reduced. (D) It may burn to other cigarette butts without being extinguished completely, not only giving off a foul odor, but also risking a fire. In order to solve the above problems, the following ashtray has been conventionally proposed. There is an ashtray with a lid that can be opened and closed to solve the problems (a) and (b). In order to solve the problems of (C) and (D), there is an ashtray that puts sand or moisture in the depression of the ashtray and puts cigarettes in it. In order to solve the problems of (a) and (c), there is an ashtray that reduces the inlet of the cigarette butts to make the container oxygen deficient and extinguish the fire. In order to solve the problem of (a), there is one in which granular silica gel impregnated with an aromatic agent or a deodorant is added.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional product in which the ashtray has sand and water in it, even if the lid is attached, the bad smell from the butts is released every time the lid is opened and closed. There is a problem that becomes uncomfortable. Also, ashtrays that are extinguished with oxygen deficiency continue to burn butts until there is oxygen deficiency, which is a safety issue. Even if there is an ashtray that puts the granular silica gel impregnated with the fragrance and the deodorant with the combination of the above conventional products into the ashtray so deeply that the cigarette sticks, the ash will accumulate as the cigarette is used. There is a problem that it is difficult to pierce and ash is scattered around, and moreover, this requires frequent cleaning, and in this configuration, silica gel must be discarded together with ash after every cleaning, which is expensive. There is such a problem.

[0004]

As a means for solving the above conventional problems, the present invention has a structure in which the bottom of a container is a net and a predetermined amount of non-combustible spherical objects is filled inside the container. To provide an ashtray with.

In the present invention, the noncombustible spherical body has a diameter of 3 m.
About m of silica gel is preferable, and the silica gel may be impregnated with a fragrance or a deodorant. The filling amount should be such that a cigarette is pierced, and a depth of about 3 cm is good. It is preferable that the gap between the nets at the bottom of the container is wide enough so that the non-combustible spherical object to be filled does not fall.

[0006]

In the present invention, since the container is filled with a predetermined amount of the non-combustible spherical object, heat is taken by the non-combustible spherical object only by piercing the cigarette, which is different from the case where the cigarette is deficient in oxygen and erased. It surely disappears in a short time. In addition, the non-combustible spherical object acts as a lid and does not scatter offensive odor or ash. Further, when the non-combustible spherical body is a porous body such as silica gel, the odor can be prevented by impregnating it with an aromatic agent or a deodorant.

In the present invention, since the non-combustible spherical body is spherical, the cigarette can be easily pierced and the ash of the cigarette easily falls to the bottom.

In the present invention, since the bottom of the container is a net, the ash of the cigarette and the non-combustible spherical object are shaken and separated each time the cigarette is stabbed, so that only the butts and the ash should be discarded during cleaning. Good.

[0009]

FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the present invention. A spherical silica gel (3) with a diameter of about 3 mm in which a net (2) is provided inside a cylindrical container (1) and the net (2) is impregnated with a deodorant.
To a depth of about 3 cm. Cover the top of the container (1) with a cap (4) having an opening. At the bottom of the container (1) is provided a tray (5) for receiving the ash (7) generated from the cigarettes (6) falling through the gap between the nets (2). The first embodiment of the present invention is configured as described above, and when it is used, the product of the present invention is placed in a place such as a can of juice that is installed in an automobile, and the ash of cigarette is smoked during smoking. (7) is dropped into the opening of the cap (4), and after smoking, the spherical silica gel (3) is pierced with a cigarette to extinguish the fire.

A second embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. The difference from the first embodiment is that an ashtray (8) used at home is used instead of the tray (5) of FIG.

A third embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. This is a type used in public places and the like, in which a container (9) having a container having a groove for inserting the spherical silica gel (3) is placed on a table (10). The bottom of the groove for containing the spherical silica gel in the container (9) is a net. A hole for putting a cigarette butt is provided in the center of the container (9) having a shape of a container, and when cleaning, the suction and ash are taken out from the cleaning door (11).

[0012]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it has the following effects.

By filling the inside of the container with a non-combustible spherical object, the cigarette can be securely erased in a short time only by piercing, which is safe. In addition, since the non-combustible spherical object acts as a lid and does not scatter offensive odor or ash, it does not become uncomfortable. Further, when the nonflammable spherical body is a porous body such as silica gel, the effect of preventing a bad odor can be further enhanced by impregnating an aromatic agent or a deodorant.

Since the non-combustible spherical body is spherical, the tobacco can be easily pierced and the tobacco ash tends to fall toward the bottom.

Since the bottom of the container is a net, tobacco ash and non-combustible spherical objects are shaken and separated each time the cigarette is stabbed, and when cleaning, only the butts and ash need to be discarded.
Non-combustible spherical objects can be reused for savings and are easier to clean.
