(2) Prior art The portable container for extinguishing the stubs of cigarettes is known from World Patent (WO) No. 01/3 96 1 8. The container includes four cylindrical unperforated. Burning stubs of cigarettes can be embedded in each unperforated. After a few seconds, the stubs of cigarettes go out automatically. φ An ashtray having such a device for extinguishing a stub of a cigarette is known from US Patent No. 3,8,027,027. The ashtray is composed of an open top container for extinguishing the stub of cigarettes and a device for extinguishing the stub of cigarettes. The device for extinguishing stubs of cigarettes can be rotated about 180 degrees on a horizontal axis to allow the stubs of cigarettes to enter the container. Because of its size and because the container is open, this ashtray is not suitable as a portable container. A portable container for extinguishing and disposing of stubs of cigarettes is known from US Patent No. 6 2 1 7 5 7. This container includes one chamber for receiving unsmoked cigarettes, one chamber for receiving ashes and cigarette stubs, and unperforated cigarette stubs for burning. The stubs of cigarettes must be inserted into the respective unperforated holes to extinguish them, and after they have been extinguished, they must be removed by hand from the unperforated holes and placed in the ashtray and cigarette holder chamber. A container for extinguishing and disposing of stubs of cigarettes is known from U.S. Patent No. 3 6 5 1 8 1 7 which has a cylinder rotatable on an axis and has longitudinal recesses for temporarily receiving stubs of cigarettes and for storing extinguishes One Room of Cigarette Stubs-200421996. This container is quite complicated and bulky, and because of its shape, it is not suitable as a portable container (it can be carried as a personal item). A similar container having the same disadvantage is known from U.S. Patent No. 2,661,747. Another container 'is known, for example, from the following patent specifications: German No. 2604899, US No. 1912598; No. 3620225 and No. 3695277. It is also impossible to carry these containers as personal tools. (3) Summary of the Invention The object of the present invention is to develop a portable container for extinguishing stubbed cigarettes and temporarily storing extinguished stubbed cigarettes, which can be easily handled and can be carried as a personal tool. According to the present invention, the designated task is solved by the feature of the first scope of the patent application. According to the present invention, a container for extinguishing and temporarily storing stubs of cigarettes includes: a shell formed by two half shells, and therefore, the first half shell contains a cylinder rotatable on an axis having at least one axis extending parallel to the axis A recess to temporarily accept the stubs of cigarettes, so the second half shell forms a chamber close to the surrounding medium for storing extinguished stubs of cigarettes. The casing contains an opening through which the stub of the cigarette to be disposed is placed into one of the recesses in the cylinder. Position the opening of the housing opposite the front of the cylinder. The cylinder is rigidly attached to a cover that can expose or cover the opening of the housing. The cylinder is divided into at least two, which are a plurality of sub-splits. Therefore, the adjacent sub-split systems are spaced by a gap extending orthogonally to the axis. An element disposed on a side wall of the container is given each gap and protrudes into the given gap. As the cylinder is rotated, each element changes the cross section of the recess. The change in section has the effect of 200421996: when the lid is rotated, the stub of the cigarette is conveyed out of the recess so that it can now be located in the chamber. (IV) Embodiment Figure 1 shows a container for extinguishing a burning cigarette stub and temporarily storing an extinguished cigarette stub according to the present invention. The container consists of a two-part casing, the two half-shells of which are designated by reference numerals 1 and 2, and a lid 3 which is rotatable on an axis 4 extending in the longitudinal direction of the casing. The cover 3 contains at least one opening 5, preferably two openings, as in the example stated. The diameter of the opening 5 is slightly larger than the diameter of the cigarette, for example 1.5 mm. The two housing halves 1 and 2 are detachably tightly closed to each other. For example, the two halves of the casing can be moved toward each other in the longitudinal direction of the casing. Figure 2 shows an exploded view of a container broken down into its individual parts and Figure 3 shows a container that has been assembled, so that all individual parts are rendered transparently. In Fig. 3, for the sake of clarity, the reference numerals are omitted except for one reference numeral. (The example in Figure 3 includes a small change. In contrast to the example in Figure 2, the reference number 2 6 for this change is entered, and its meaning will be explained later). Each of these two half shells 1 and 2 includes side walls 6 and 7; bottoms 8 and 9; and cover plates 10 and 11. The cover plate 10 of the first half housing 1 has a drilled hole 12 to accommodate the rod 13 fastened to the cover 3 and an opening 14 which, in a specific rotation position of the cover 3, makes the opening 14 and the cover One of the two openings 5 of 3 is aligned. The bottom 8 of the first half shell 1 contains a recess 15 to support the rod 13 axially. Several, for example, four elements 16 arranged at equal distances from each other are arranged on the side wall 6 of the first half casing 1, the function of which will be explained later. The cylindrical cylinder 17 is fastened to the rod 200421996 1 3. The cylinder 17 contains a drilled hole 18 to receive a rod 13. The cylinder 17 has at least one recess 21. Preferably, there are two recesses 21, which are located opposite each other with respect to the borehole 18. The number of recesses 21 is equal to the number of openings 5 in the cover 3, and each recess 21 is aligned with the opening 5 in the cover 3. The recess 21 is sized to accommodate a cigarette therein. In the longitudinal direction, the cylinder 17 is divided into a plurality of η equal cylinder parts 19, each of which is spaced by a gap 20. The number of cylindrical parts η is about 1 more than the number of elements 16. Preferably, the cylindrical parts 19 form a single body, that is, the cylinder 17 should be designed as a whole piece. The second half-shell 2 preferably contains an inner bottom surface 22 which is curved so that the distance to the bottom 9 increases as the distance from the rod 13 increases. This inner bottom surface 22 can be arranged on the bottom 9 as shown in the figure, or on the cover plate 11. When the container is assembled, the element 16 is thus positioned in the gap 20. These elements 16 have a substantially triangular shape, and therefore, if necessary, one side of the triangle is bent. When the container is assembled, the opening 14 of the container is positioned opposite the front face 25 of the cylinder 17. Therefore, at a specific rotation position of the cylinder 17, align one of the openings 5 in the cover 3, the opening 14 of the container, and one of the recesses 21 of the cylinder 17 so that the cigarette residue can be introduced and the recesses 2 1 Accept temporarily. In order to keep the air circulation between the chamber with the cigarette stub and the recess 21 in the cylinder 17 as low as possible, each element 16 should be extremely thin and the gap 20 between each cylindrical part 19 should be correspondingly narrow so that As a result of the lack of air supply, the stubs of cigarettes introduced into the recess 21 are extinguished as quickly as possible. The height of the cylindrical part 19 may be approximately the same as that of a conventional cigarette filter, that is, approximately eight to twelve millimeters. In order to prevent the stubs of cigarettes from blocking into gap 20 and possibly blocking the entire mechanism, the height of gap 20 should be smaller than the diameter of the cigarette. Preferably, the number of heights of the cylindrical part 19 and the height of the gap 20 is 1 to 3 mm. Basically, the first half shell 1 is used to receive and extinguish stubs of cigarettes, and the second half shell 2 forms a close A chamber in the surrounding medium for storage of extinguished cigarette stubs. The cylinder 17 and each element 16 are used to convey the extinguished cigarette stubs from the first half casing 1 into the second half casing 2. The function of the combined container is as follows:-By turning, the lid 3 is brought into a position where one of the openings 5 exposes the opening 14 in the cover 10 of the first half-shell 1. It is now possible to push a stub of a burning cigarette or even a cigarette that has just been ignited through an opening 5 in the first half casing 1. -Then, rotate cover 3 in the direction indicated by arrow 23 (figure 1) until cover 3 covers the opening 1 4. As a result of the lack of oxygen supply, the residual smoke of the burning incense extinguished in a short time. • The container is still in this condition until it contains the next section of burning cigarette smoke. _ Then, rotate the cover 3 further in the direction indicated by the arrow 23 until the next opening 5 and then expose the opening 14 in the cover plate 10 of the first half shell 1. Via the rotating cover 3, the first cigarette residue in the recess 21 appears on the element 16. The element 16 acts like a comb, and moves the stub of the cigarette away from the axis of rotation, that is, the element 16 has the effect of conveying the stub of the cigarette out of the recess 21 into the second half casing 2. Since the inner bottom surface 22 is raised toward the outside, the cigarette stub is also moved in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the cylinder 17. This movement supports the release of cigarette residues from body 17 and guarantees: even sticky or sticky winter 200421996 cigarette residues attached to body 17 can be removed without difficulty. Figures 4 to 6 illustrate how the cigarette segments are continuously moved out of the recesses 21 in the body 17 due to the influence of the element 16 when the cover 3 is rotated. These figures show a plan view of one of the elements 16 with one edge attached to the side wall 6, one of the cylindrical parts 19 and the cigarette stub 24. The container is sized so that it can be comfortably held by human hands. The two side walls 6 and 7 of the casings 1 and 2 have two walls extending in parallel, which are connected via a semicircular arc so that the shape of the container is similar to that of a 4.5V battery. The length of the container in the direction of the axis 4 is set so that even an entire cigarette which has just begun to ignite can be left in the container. The chamber formed by the second half shell 2 provides a space for 10 to 20 cigarette fragments. Of course, the number accommodated is based on the size of the cigarette stub. It is also possible to design the second half shell 2 wider than the first half shell 1. For ease of handling, it is advantageous to provide a joining position for each position (in these positions, the opening 5 in the lid 3 exposes the opening 14 of the container). It is equally advantageous to provide the joining positions of the various intermediate positions (in these positions, the lid 3 covers the opening 14 of the container). Thus, in the example with two openings 5 in the cover 3, offset at 90 °, four engagement positions are provided. Element 16 can be implemented in different ways. For example, each element can be formed together with a whole piece of the first half-shell 1 or as individual components or connected via a connecting plate embedded in the side wall 6 of the first half-shell 1, for example, by external or Button mechanism from inside. Another variation presented in Figure 3 is to limit the end of the recess 2 1 by the bottom area 2 6 of the terminal to the surface of the cylinder 17 facing the bottom 8 so as to be guided into the recess 21 1 by 2004-10-1996. The cigarette stub only reaches as far as the bottom surface area 26 without contacting the bottom 8. Using this variant 'can advantageously omit the inner bottom surface 2 2. Another variant is to replace the two parts of the shell (in this case, the two half shells 1 and 2 are detachably closed to each other). Use a whole or multiple parts of the shell. In this regard, design the cover plate Π or the bottom 9 so that the room with cigarette stubs can be emptied. In a preferred embodiment, the 'bottom 9 comprises a lid with a hinge so that the container can be easily emptied.
