Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to the improvement of the ash tray. It is not necessary to remove the ash tray, and the ash tray can be turned upside down to remove the butts accumulated in the main body case. It is primarily concerned with ash trays for vehicles that can be discarded.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, the ash tray has a structure in which an ash pan is detachably inserted into the opening of the main body case.When discarding cigarette ash or cigarette butts accumulated in the main case, remove the ash pan from the main case. It was a composition.

Further, for example, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 62-156041, an ash tray is provided with an openable / closable lid body so as to close the upper opening of the main body case, and a mass ash receiver is provided on the back surface of the lid body. There is a lid which can be moved together with the lid through the upper opening.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, in the former one of the above-mentioned conventional ash tray, when discarding cigarette butts etc., the ash receiver is held by hand each time and removed from the main body case, so there is a problem that the hands are soiled with ash etc. and there is also a problem in hygiene. . In particular, in a vehicle such as an automobile, after cleaning the hands, water for washing is not loaded, which is a problem when eating a meal in the vehicle.

In the latter case, the dirty butts in the ashtray body case are almost completely exposed during use of the ashtray, which is very unsightly.

This invention was made in view of the above circumstances.When discarding cigarette butts etc., you can easily discard it by simply turning the entire ash tray upside down without having to remove the ash pan by hand. It provides a sanitary ash tray without any.

[Means for solving the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, an ash tray according to the present invention comprises a main body case for storing cigarette butts and ash, and a lid body rotatably provided on the main body case so as to close an upper opening of the main body case. An ash pan for rotating a cigarette provided on the main body case so as to occlude a part of an upper opening of the main body case on the lower side of the lid body, and a free end portion of the lid body and the ash pan. And a locking member that locks the main body case so as to be openable and closable.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of an ash tray according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a view showing the outer appearance of the ash tray of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line II-II in FIG.

In the drawings, reference numeral 1 is a main body case for storing cigarette butts and ash, and the main body case 1 is formed in a box shape having an opening 2 at the upper side.

Further, a push button 3 is formed on the front wall 1a of the main body case 1, and a locking member 4 pushed by the connecting rod 3a of the push button 8 is attached to the back surface side of the front wall 1a.

The locking member 4 has a hooked portion 4a bent outwardly at its tip, and its rear end is bent inward in a U-shape to impart elasticity. It is biased toward you.

Bearings 6, 6 are erected on the front surfaces of the upper ends of the rear wall 5 of the body case 1.

A lid 7 is attached to the bearings 6 and 6 via pins 8 and 8 so that the upper opening 2 of the main body case 1 can be opened and closed.

A spring 9 is wound around the pin 8, and the lid 7 is biased in the opening direction by the biasing force of the spring 9.

The locking member 4 is provided at the center of the free end 7a of the lid 7.
A locking hole 7b for locking the hook-shaped portion 4a is formed.

Further, an ash receiver 10 which has an opening 13 in the front half and closes the opening 2 of the main body case 1 except for the front half thereof is provided with bearings 11, 11 which are erected on both sides of the rear edge of the ash receiver 10. , 8 are pivotally supported and are rotatably attached.

In addition, the ash pan 10 has fire extinguishing holes 14, 1 on both left and right sides of the peripheral portion 12.
4 is formed, and a fire extinguishing plate 15 is formed at the center of the rear edge of the peripheral portion 12.

Further, a through hole 16 is formed in the front edge portion 12a (free end portion) of the peripheral edge portion 12 for inserting the tip end portion of the locking member 4.

Support members 17 having an inverted U-shaped cross section are formed on the left and right sides of the peripheral edge portion 12 and the front edge portion 12a (free end portion).
It is supported by being hooked to the upper edge of the.

Further, the supporting member for the ash receiver 10 even when the lid 7 is open.
17 is locked by the hook-shaped portion 4a of the locking member 4, and the ash receiver 10
Has stopped its rotation.

Further, a hook member 18 for hooking a hook or the like is formed on the outer surface of the rear wall 5 of the main body case 1.

Next, a method of using the ash tray of the present invention according to the above embodiment will be described.

When using the ash tray, first, the push button 3 is pushed to release the hooked portion 4a of the locking member 4 locked in the locking hole 7b of the lid 7. By this release, the lid 7 is rotated around the pin 8 by the urging force of the spring 9 and opens upward.

Next, in order to discard the cigarette butts and ash accumulated in the ash tray, hold the ash tray by hand, turn the ash tray in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 2 to turn it upside down, and press the push button 3 again. By pushing the push button 3, the locking member 4 is pushed, and the ash receiver 10 is a hook-shaped portion of the locking member 4.
The stop caused by 4a is released, the pin 8 is rotated around the pin 8 and dropped downward to open, and the butts and the like accumulated in the main body case 1 are naturally and easily dropped and discarded. Become.

As described above, in the ash tray according to the present invention, the lid 7 is attached by being urged by the spring 9 and locked by the locking member 4, so that the push button 3 can be pressed with one touch. Body 7 will be opened.

Further, since the ash receiver 10 is supported by the support member 17 on the upper edge of the main body case 1 and the rotation thereof is stopped by the hook-shaped portion 4a of the locking member 4, even if the lid 7 is opened. However, the ashes 10 will not open unexpectedly.

As described above, according to the present invention, the ash tray is turned upside down and the push button 3 is pushed.
10 can be opened and the accumulated cigarette butts and ash can be easily discarded, so it is extremely hygienic without soiling hands.

It should be noted that the shape, mounting position, configuration and the like of the main body case 1, push button 3, locking member 4, ash receiver 10 and the like in the above embodiment are not limited to those in this embodiment. For example, the push button 3 and the locking member 4 may be provided separately for the lid 7 and the ash receiver 10.

Alternatively, the ash receiver 10 may be attached by winding the spring 9 around the pin 8 at the bearing 11. With this structure, the ash tray 10 can be rotated with one touch using the biasing force of the spring 9 before the ash tray is turned upside down.

[Effect of device]

As described above, in the ash tray according to the present invention, the ash receiver is rotatably attached to the periphery of the opening of the main body case, and the free end of the ash receiver is openably and closably locked to the periphery of the opening of the main body case. Since the locking portion is formed, the free end of the ash receiver can be opened with one touch by turning the main body case upside down and unlocking the locking member. In this way, the free end of the ash receiver is opened, so if you point it downwards, the opening of the main case will open,
Butts and ash fall naturally. Therefore, the cigarette butt and the like can be easily discarded without soiling the hands and the like, which is convenient and extremely hygienic.
