Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to an ashtray with a fire extinguishing groove.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an ashtray having a fire extinguishing groove formed at the upper end of the peripheral edge of a tray is known as Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-268167. According to this ashtray, by inserting a lit cigarette into the fire extinguisher, the heat can be removed to extinguish the fire naturally. However, they cannot make the fire extinguisher too long and cannot fit inside the fire extinguisher if the cigarette is long. For this reason, if the lit tip is stored in the fire extinguishing groove, the suction side protrudes out of the ashtray, and there is a risk that cigarettes may fall out of the ashtray due to the weight thereof. Conversely, if the tip is extended and held inside the ashtray, there is a concern that the fire will not be extinguished for a long time and the air will be contaminated, and if the tip side burns and the center of gravity moves, it may fall out of the ashtray.

[0003] Further, there is known an ashtray having a plurality of fire extinguishers, in which the tip of a cigarette is inserted into the fire extinguisher to cut off the cigarette fire by cutting off the supply of oxygen. However, since it is not possible to visually recognize that the fire of the cigarette has been extinguished in this ashtray, there is a risk that the cigarette may be smoked, or a cigarette that has not completely extinguished may be thrown into a waste container to cause a fire. Also, not only is the structure complicated and difficult to clean, but also if you insert a slim type cigarette,
There is a disadvantage that the fire cannot be extinguished because air enters the inside of the fire extinguisher.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an ashtray with a simple structure that can extinguish a fire securely and safely even with a long cigarette.

[0005]

The ashtray according to the present invention has a fire extinguisher having a width and length slightly larger than the diameter and length of the cigarette on the bottom of the pan. When a cigarette is inserted into the fire extinguisher, the ashtray takes away the heat of the cigarette and extinguishes naturally. In addition, since the fire extinguishing groove is formed on the bottom surface of the dish portion, the falling of cigarettes is prevented. Furthermore, since the fire extinguisher is dimensioned so that cigarettes before ignition can be sufficiently inserted, any length of cigarette can be stored in the fire extinguisher.

The fact that the flange is extended from the upper end of the plate portion and the fire extinguishing groove extending along the radial direction on the upper surface of the flange can be used to extinguish a short cigarette with the upper fire extinguishing groove and without extinguishing the fire. This is desirable because it is possible to temporarily hold cigarettes.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. The ashtray 1 is made of a refractory material such as metal, pottery, flame-retardant synthetic resin, etc., as shown in FIG.
A relatively shallow dish 2 and a flange 3 projecting outward from its upper end
And

The dish portion 2 has a quadrilateral plane, the length of one side of which is greater than the length of a commercially available cigarette. A plurality of fire extinguishing grooves 4 having a width and length slightly larger than the diameter and length of the cigarette are provided in parallel on the bottom surface of the dish portion 2. If the length of the fire extinguisher 4 is longer than long cigarettes, it can accommodate all cigarettes, but it can be used for cigarettes with a filter, for cigarettes without a filter, and for long cigarettes. It is also possible to prepare a plurality of types, such as for cigarettes.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, even a long cigarette that does not smoke much can be stored lying down in the fire extinguishing groove 4. The cigarette is immediately extinguished naturally. Further, since the fire extinguishing groove 4 is formed on the bottom surface of the dish portion 2, there is no fear that the cigarette stored in the fire extinguishing groove 4 falls out of the ashtray 1.

Further, a plurality of digestion grooves 4a slightly thicker than the diameter of the cigarette are formed on the upper surface of the flange 3 along the radial direction. Usually, the width of the tsuba 3 is shorter than the length of the cigarette,
Naturally, the length of the fire extinguishing groove 4a is shorter than that of the cigarette. When it is desired to temporarily put the cigarette on the ashtray 1 without extinguishing the fire, the cigarette is stored in the fire extinguishing groove 4a such that the lit tip protrudes above the plate portion 2. In addition, since the cigarette which has been shortened by sucking for a long time can be inserted with its entire length lying on the fire extinguishing groove 4a, it can be digested by the short fire extinguishing groove 4a formed on the upper surface of the flange 3.

The shape of the dish 2 may be a shape other than a square, for example, a circle. Further, it is also possible to form the storage groove 4 at a part of the bottom or the center of the bottom of the dish part 2 and to make the other part a smooth ash receiving part.

[0012]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, by simply storing cigarettes in the fire extinguisher, the heat can be removed and natural fire can be extinguished immediately. In addition, even long cigarettes can be stored in the fire extinguisher sufficiently to extinguish the fire, and like a cigarette with a fire extinguisher formed on the top of the edge of the plate, the cigarette falls outside the ashtray and removes the object. No need to worry about burning or fire.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the cigarette can be temporarily held while the fire is on, and the shortened cigarette can be sufficiently extinguished in the fire extinguishing groove on the upper surface of the flange. , Convenient.
