Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention provides that a lit cigarette placed in the placement groove of an ashtray is
To provide an ashtray with a storage groove which stores the ash in a storage groove provided on an outer wall surface and prevents the ash from falling out of the ashtray when the ash becomes short due to combustion and loses its balance.

In conventional ashtrays, lit cigarettes placed in the tray often burn and shorten, causing the cigarette to lose its balance and fall, scorching the floor or tatami mats or causing a fire.

The present invention was invented in the hope that there would be an ashtray that would eliminate such concerns, and embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a first embodiment of the invention.

The mounting groove (4) provided on the upper surface (6) of the ashtray (1) is connected to the side end of the outer wall surface (5), and a downwardly inclined groove is connected to the lowermost part of the outer wall surface (5). It is carved to form the accommodation groove (2).

When the cigarette (3) placed in the holding groove (4) burns and becomes short and loses its balance, it tilts like a seesaw and falls into the holding groove (
2) It slides down and ends up in the receiving groove (2).

The cigarette (3) does not fall out of the ashtray (1).

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a second embodiment of the invention.

In the ashtray (1) of the first embodiment, if the cigarette (3) loses its balance even slightly, the fulcrum part of the cigarette (3) that contacts the ashtray (1) will slip and begin to fall.
Either make the inclination angle of the accommodation groove (2) shallower, or make the accommodation groove (2) shallower.
If the length of 2) is not long enough, the cigarette (3) will fall into the storage groove (
2) Jump outside. However, when the inclination angle is made shallow, the ashtray (1) spreads out laterally, becomes larger, and becomes flat, causing fingers to hit the storage groove (2) and cigarettes (
3) becomes difficult to place. Also, the storage groove (2) is an ashtray (1)
Because the angle is shallow relative to the floor surface on which the cigarette is placed (
3) will not stop even if it hits the floor, and there is a risk that it will slide out of the storage groove (2). On the other hand, if the inclination angle of the storage groove (2) is made deep and the length of the storage groove (2) is increased, the height of the ashtray (1) will increase, and the drop will increase accordingly, causing the cigarettes (3) to The impact of the fall is great, and there is a risk that it will bounce and fall out of the storage groove (2). Therefore, it is necessary to consider the inclination angle. However, even if the inclination angle of the storage groove (2) is made shallow or the length is made long, the ashtray (1)
It requires a considerable size, and it is difficult to obtain an effect with an ashtray of a commonly used size.

In the second embodiment, in the upper part of the storage groove (2), the width is slightly shorter than the cross-sectional diameter of the cigarette (3), and the width is arranged on the left and right sides.
A pair of protrusions are provided as clamping fulcrums (7), (7).

When the cigarette (3) burns and tilts, the weight of the cigarette (3) is applied to the gripping support points (7), (7), and is guided by the roundness of the cigarette (3) itself to the gripping support points (7), (7). It falls and gets caught in between. Even if the cigarette (3) is further tilted, the portions determined to be the supporting points (7), (7) will not slip until the tobacco (3) is tilted at a considerably deep angle.

The inclination angle of the storage groove (2) can be made deep, and the length of the storage groove (2) can be adjusted so that there is no slippage at the part that serves as the fulcrum of the cigarette (3). It is sufficient that the ashtray (1) has the minimum necessary length, and therefore the size of the ashtray (1) can be reduced to the necessary minimum.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a third embodiment of the invention.

In the second embodiment, since the distance between the protrusions of the clamping fulcrums (7), (7) is constant, the cigarette (3) will not be crushed and deformed or will not be pinched by objects of different thickness.

In the third embodiment, the cross section of the upper part of the storage groove (2) is made V-shaped, and the storage groove (2) is formed at the connection point with the mounting groove (4).
The end sides are used as clamping fulcrums (7), (7).

When the cigarette (3) tilts and falls onto the clamping supports (7), (7), it is guided by the slopes of both sides of the V-shape and falls between the clamping supports (7), which are both sides of the V-shape. , (7), and no slippage occurs in the part that serves as the fulcrum of the cigarette (3). Moreover, the cigarette (3) gets caught regardless of its thickness or condition.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a fourth embodiment of the invention.

In the first to third embodiments, when the cigarette (3) starts to tilt, it is subjected to inertia and falls into the storage groove (2) all at once. Because of the momentum, there is a risk that the cigarette (3) will hit the storage groove (2) and bounce, causing it to fly out of the groove.

In the fourth embodiment, the opposing slopes of the groove wall surface, which is a part of two polygonal weights facing each other symmetrically, are V-shaped supporting points (7), (7).

Since the slanting movement of the cigarette (3) is made on each opposing slope, the movement is performed slowly and reliably, and there is no fear that the cigarette (3) will hit the storage groove (2) with force. .

FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a fifth embodiment of the invention.

In the third embodiment and the fourth embodiment, the clamping fulcrum (7
), (7) are provided in a V-shape. Tobacco (3)
When the angle of the V-shaped prongs is made smaller in order to clamp the parts more firmly, the elongated V-shaped clamping fulcrums (7) and (7
), and it is difficult to find space to install it. In addition, dust, ash, etc. tend to accumulate in the mounting groove (5) and between the clamping supports (7).

In the fifth embodiment, the V-shape of the holding points (7), (7) of the third embodiment can be replaced with a cigarette (3) even if the cigarette (3) is held in the V-shape.
) is rounded to the part that does not come into contact with it to form a ■ shape.

■If it is shaped like this, it will not become long and thin, so the clamping fulcrum (7),
There is no problem with space for installing (7). Also, ash and dirt do not accumulate easily and are easy to remove.

Furthermore, even in the fourth embodiment, the clamping fulcrums (7), (7)
) may be changed to a ■ shape.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a sixth embodiment of the invention.

In the first to fifth embodiments, the shortened cigarette (3) is unstable in operation, the drop is large corresponding to the shortened length, the impact of falling is strong, and the storage groove (2) is sloped. If it is deep, there is a risk of falling out of the ditch.

In the sixth embodiment, the lower part of the accommodation groove (2) of the first embodiment is curved outward to form an inclination-reducing portion (8).

Even when a shortened cigarette (3) slides down into the storage groove (2), the slope becomes shorter due to the slope relaxation part (8), making it difficult to fall down.

In addition, even in the second to fifth embodiments, the accommodation groove (2
) may be provided with an inclination relaxation part (8).

FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a seventh embodiment of the invention.

In the first to sixth embodiments, if the slope of the storage groove (2) is too shallow, the cigarette (3) that has slipped into the storage groove (2)
) may slip and fall out of the ashtray (1) even if it hits the floor.

In the seventh embodiment, the upper part of the accommodation groove (2) of the first embodiment is bent outward to form an increasing slope portion (9).

When the cigarette (3) slides into the storage groove (2), the angle of inclination becomes deeper as it falls downward, and the cigarette (3) slides into the storage groove (2).
) will not hit or slip at a deep angle. In addition, the accommodation groove (2
) Since the angle of inclination is shallow, the cigarette (3) falls slowly; below, where the angle of inclination is deeper, the drop is smaller, so the force of the fall is weaker and the impact on the floor is smaller.

In addition, even in the second to sixth embodiments, the accommodation groove (2
) may be bent outward to provide an increased slope portion (9).

FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing an eighth embodiment of the invention.

In the eighth embodiment, the upper inner wall surface of the accommodation groove (2) of the first embodiment is made into a rough friction surface (10).

When the cigarette (3) slides down inside the storage groove (2), it rubs against the friction surface (10), the falling speed is weakened, and the impulse to fall is reduced.

In addition, even in the second to seventh embodiments, the friction surface (1
0) may be provided.

FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing a ninth embodiment of the invention.

In the first to eighth embodiments, when the cigarette (3) without a filter burns out in the storage groove (2), it burns the floor.

In the first to eighth embodiments, when the cigarette (3) without a filter burns out in the storage groove (2), it burns the floor.

In the ninth embodiment, the lower end of the accommodation groove (2) of the first embodiment is provided on the outer wall surface (5), and the groove end wall is provided at right angles to the accommodation groove (2), and is used as a stopper (11). There is.

All the cigarettes (3) that have fallen into the storage groove (2) are stopped by the stopper (11) and will not burn the floor even if they burn out.

In addition, a stopper (11) may be provided in the second to eighth embodiments as well.

FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing a tenth embodiment of the invention.

In the ninth embodiment, the ash of the cigarette (3) and the like may accumulate on the stopper (11), causing the cigarette (3) to slip and not stop or causing the mouthpiece (filter) to become dirty.

In the tenth embodiment, the width of the lower end of the storage groove (2) of the first embodiment is made shorter than the diameter of the cigarette (3) to form a stopper (11).

The cigarette (3) gets caught and stops, but the ash and the like fall down and do not accumulate in the stopper (11).

Note that this stopper (11) may also be provided in the second to eighth embodiments.

FIG. 11 is a perspective view showing an eleventh embodiment of the invention.

In the first to tenth embodiments, since the cigarette (3) that has slipped into the storage groove (2) hits the floor or the like and stops, there is an impulse and there is a risk of it falling over.

In the eleventh embodiment, the lower part of the accommodation groove (2) of the first embodiment is curved outward, and its tip is extended horizontally to form a stopper (11).

The cigarette (3) that has fallen into the storage groove (2) is stopped without impulse by the stopper (11) which slides down the slide and becomes horizontal. Incidentally, this stopper (11) also has the effect of the slope relaxation part (8) described in the sixth embodiment.

The stopper (11) of this embodiment may also be provided in the second to eighth embodiments.

FIG. 12 is a perspective view showing a twelfth embodiment of the invention.

In the first to eleventh embodiments, if the storage groove (2) is too deep, the cigarette (3) will slip into the storage groove (2) and be difficult to take out.

In the twelfth embodiment, the lower depth of the storage groove (2) of the first embodiment is made shallower to form an outlet (12).

Even though the upper part of the storage groove (2) is deep, the cigarette (3) can be easily taken out because it falls to the shallow takeout opening (12) below.

Note that this outlet (12) may also be provided in the second to eleventh embodiments.

FIG. 13 is a perspective view showing a thirteenth embodiment of the present invention.

In the 13th embodiment, a base (13
), and a space is provided between the lower end of the storage groove (2) and the floor surface on which the ashtray (1) is placed, and serves as an outlet (12).

Even if the cigarette (3) that has slipped into the storage groove (2) is left unattended, the filter is leaning against the storage groove (2), so even if it burns out, it will not fall over and can be held by the filter at the outlet (12). It can be taken out easily.

In addition, in the first to eighth embodiments, the base part (15)
It is also possible to provide this outlet (12).

The ashtray (1) according to the present invention has a storage groove (2) that prevents the cigarette (3) from falling out of the ashtray (1) even if the cigarette (3) burns and becomes short and loses its balance. There is no risk of burning the floor or tatami mats, or of catching fire and causing a fire.

To date, many inventions and ideas have been made to prevent cigarettes from falling out of ashtrays, but none of them have been definitive in preventing fires, as they have both advantages and disadvantages.

The ashtray (1) according to the present invention does not differ in usage from conventional ashtrays, and can be used in a very ordinary manner.Furthermore, even if a cigarette is accidentally left in the ashtray, it will not fall out of the ashtray, and the cigarette will be stored naturally. Since it is stored in the storage groove (2), there is no need to worry about a fire. Every year, mishandled cigarettes are the number one cause of fires, and many people die due to this, but ashtrays to prevent fires (1)
will also save a person's name.

Incidentally, this ashtray (1) differs from the conventional ashtray only in that it has vertical grooves, and can be manufactured at almost the same level as the conventional ashtray.

The accommodation groove (2) is for accommodating the cigarette (3) that falls from the placing groove (4), and is not limited to a groove, and may be in the form of a fence or rail. Also, the clamping fulcrum (7
), (7) means that when the cigarette (3) loses its balance and tilts from the placement groove (4) to the storage groove (2), the cigarette (3)
A protrusion, side, or wall that uses the weight of a cigarette (3) to hold it between two points, lines, or surfaces to prevent slipping at the point where it touches the ashtray (1). Furthermore, by deforming the protrusion, it is also possible to provide a clamping fulcrum using a V-shaped or ■-shaped line or surface.
