Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to an ashtray device that transfers butts and the like to another location and extinguishes and collects them.

The ashtray device of the present invention provides a clean ashtray that does not leave any cigarette butts in the ashtray by sucking in cigarette butts, and is particularly applicable to ashtrays installed in panels of automobiles, ashtrays installed in seats, etc. This invention belongs to the improvement of ashtrays installed in cars or indoor equipment such as ashtrays installed in theater seats.

[Conventional technology]

Regarding conventional ashtrays placed on desks and the like, there are many improved products for extinguishing fires and disposing of cigarette butts, such as those that allow cigarette butts to fall into a storage chamber below, and ashtrays with fire extinguishing pipes.

However, I have not found anything that automatically transfers the ashtray cigarette butts to another location a short distance away for collection and storage.

This may be due to common sense that it is sufficient to dispose of cigarette butts left in the ashtray by hand.

[Problems to be solved]

However, if the ashtray is attached to a vehicle or indoor equipment, it is surprisingly time-consuming to remove and dispose of each ashtray containing cigarette butts, and the process of disposing of the cigarette butts scatters ash inside the vehicle and around the ashtray, making a mess. It is also the reason why

Furthermore, smoke from unsmoked cigarettes placed in ashtrays is unpleasant for smokers, and there is an increasing demand for ways to dispose of this smoke.

In this case, it is sufficient to operate the ventilation system, but when used in conjunction with the air conditioning system, it is contradictory and ventilation is often not possible.

This demand is particularly strong inside a car or in a narrow room.

The present invention was devised to deal with this problem, and provides an ashtray that can keep the inside of the ashtray clean and empty by intensively sucking out smoke, cigarette butts, etc. from the ashtray according to instructions from a switch. The purpose of this is to provide financial support.

[Means for solving problems]

Here, in the present invention, a fireproof hose is connected to the storage part of the ashtray where the strainer rises and falls when the ashtray is opened and closed, and a suction machine is connected to the end of the fireproof hose via a fire extinguishing device. This is a suction device characterized by sucking from a storage part and storing the fire extinguisher.

The ashtray does not exclude those that do not have a strainer in the storage part and are open at the rear, and those that have a strainer that opens by suction.

If the back of the ashtray is always open, there is a risk that unsmoked cigarettes will be inhaled, or that ash may scatter when the ashtray is removed, so measures must be taken to prevent this.

[Effect]

When using the suction ashtray device according to the present invention, when the ashtray is pulled out or the lid is opened, the strainer at the rear of the ashtray stands up, causing unsmoked cigarettes to fall to the back or be sucked in. This is a configuration that prevents

At this time, if you turn on the switch, the suction machine will operate and suck the smoke into the room, preventing smoke from flowing into the room.

Also, when you finish smoking a cigarette, put it in the storage part of the ashtray, and close the lid, the strainer is inverted and the rear side opens.

At this time, if the suction device is switched on, the ash and cigarette butts in the ashtray compartment will be sucked into the fireproof hose and collected by the fire extinguisher. The fire extinguishing device includes a storage chamber for storing butts.

The container in the storage chamber is removable and can be disposed of once a predetermined amount has been accumulated.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 shows an implementation of the suction ashtray device according to the present invention, which is attached to the driver's seat panel of an automobile, with an ashtray 1 fitted into an insertion hole 2 so as to be freely removable. It is something.

The rear of the storage section of the ashtray 1 is open or is provided with a strainer 3, 31 which can be opened or closed.

The strainer 3 in one embodiment is formed into a net shape or a comb blade shape.

The strainer 3 is configured to rise and fall as the ashtray 1 is opened and closed (taken in and taken out).

When the ashtray 1 is pulled out from the insertion hole 2, the strainer 3
When the strainer 3 is stood up and fully inserted, the strainer 3 will fall back and lie down, leaving the rear of the ashtray 1 open.

In another embodiment, the strainer 31 is rotatably supported at its upper end and swung in the direction of arrow A, as shown in FIG. 2, so as to be opened by the suction air E during suction.

This strainer 31 is formed of a lightweight plate so as to open with suction air.

On the other hand, as described above, when the ashtray 1 is completely inserted into the insertion hole 2, the strainer 3 falls down and opens at the rear to make it easier to suck the cigarette butts. It is designed to prevent cigarettes from being inhaled while you are awake.

Since the strainer 31 is opened by the suction air E during suction, it is possible that half-smoked cigarettes may be sucked out.

Therefore, configurations in which the strainer 31 is open during suction, or configurations in which the rear part of the ashtray 1 is always open, are
You will need something to hold your half-smoked cigarette.

The ashtray 1 can be designed in various designs, but it may also be shaped so that the bottom is curved so that cigarette butts and the like can be easily sucked into the ashtray.

The insertion hole 2 has an air intake gap 21, the inner part of which is sloped 22, a fireproof hose 4 is connected thereto, and a suction device 6 is connected to the end of the hole through a fire extinguishing device 5.
are connected.

The fireproof hose 4 is made of a fireproof material with a smooth inner surface.

The refractory hose 4 is selected from a metal pipe coated with a refractory material, and is preferably formed into the gentlest possible curve for transporting the cigarette butts.

The fire extinguishing device 5 connected to the fireproof hose 4 includes a lid 5
1 and a storage chamber 52 for cigarette butts, etc., and is a container body containing water W and the like.

The lid 51 has a weight-shaped introduction pipe 5 with a wide mouth at the bottom.
3 is provided, and the lower part of the introduction pipe 53 is immersed in water W.

A filter 54 is provided at the upper part of the storage chamber 52 to prevent foreign matter from being sucked into the suction device 6 so that there is no problem.

The filter 54 may be made of steel or the like, and may also be made of a combination of a smoke air filter and the like.

Also, in order to protect the suction port 61, a hanging partition plate 62,
It is safer if a strainer 63 is provided.

A suction device 6 is connected to the fire extinguishing device 5, and suction air E is discharged from an air feed pipe 64.

Turn on the switch S connected to the power supply 7 and turn on the suction machine 6.
When activated, the pilot lamp 8 lights up to display the suction operation, and the cigarette butts and the like are sucked and collected into the storage chamber 52, and the smoke around the ashtray 1 is sucked and discharged to the outside.

If the switch S can control the strength of the suction force, it will be easier to use.

If there are two or more ashtrays 1, connect a branch valve 9 to a predetermined location of the fireproof hose 4 or fire extinguishing device 5.
is formed and sucked.

The above description shows only one embodiment of the suction ashtray device, and the design, mounting location, etc. can be modified in various ways, and are not limited to what is shown in the drawings.

It can be widely used for chairs in cars and theaters, tables in smoking areas, etc.

The fire extinguishing device 5, which is one element of the present invention, uses a fire extinguishing method in which water W is collected and a cigarette butt is put into the water in the embodiment, but the fire extinguishing mechanism is not limited to this, and for example, a fire extinguishing agent is used. Needless to say, it can be replaced with one that has a mechanism to extinguish the mixture.

Furthermore, there is also a mode in which the suction ashtray device according to the present invention is compactly put together indoors as shown in FIG. 4, and only the exhaust pipe 64 is exposed outside to collect cigarette butts and exhaust smoke.

In the example, when the switch S is turned on, suction starts, and smoke continues to be partially exhausted around the ashtray 1.
When the user stops smoking, throws away the butts, and closes the ashtray 1, the butts are automatically sucked in from the rear of the ashtray 1, guided to a fire extinguishing device 5, extinguished, and collected.

The fire extinguishing device 5 is provided with a storage chamber 52,
The work becomes easier as all you have to do is throw it away when a predetermined amount has accumulated.

[Effects] The suction ashtray device according to the present invention has the above-described structure and function, and has the following unique technical effects.

According to the instructions from the switch, the smoke around the ashtray can be partially evacuated.

Therefore, even if it is used in conjunction with air conditioning, the heating and cooling effect is unlikely to decrease.

The ashtray can be kept empty at all times since the ashtray's cigarette butts are sucked out and transferred to another location for storage.

The sucked butts are extinguished and collected in a storage chamber, making it safe and easy to dispose of the butt ashes.

The ashtray is usually empty, so there is no smell of cigarettes.

If the ashtray is equipped with a strainer at the back, even if you put a half-smoked cigarette in it, the cigarette will not be sucked up.

As described above, the ashtray suction device according to the present invention can be installed in a car or indoor device to keep the ashtray clean and empty at all times, and can partially exhaust smoke around the ashtray, so it can be used inside the car. It has great practical value in purifying the air.
