Description

The The present invention relates to an ash container for receiving ash of tobacco products or of tobacco products. Furthermore, the invention relates a waste container with a receiving space and with at least one opening.

Ashtray containers are widely known from the prior art. That's how it describes DE 198 46 464 A1 an ash container for holding in particular burning tobacco products. The ash container described there is arranged in a waste container and serves to receive ash from tobacco products or tobacco products. For emptying the ash container this is pivotally mounted on the waste container closing hood. The ash container can be emptied separately after opening the hood from the waste container. To empty, another container or waste bag must be kept under the rotated ash container. The disadvantage here is that when emptying the ash container to be emptied waste does not always fall exactly in the other container or the rubbish bag. If these are not held exactly down the rotated ash container, it can easily happen that contents of the ash container fall next to the other container or the garbage bag, which then leads to pollution of the environment.

Of the present invention, the object is based on a constructive simple and inexpensive Ash container especially for a waste container, to ensure safe emptying of its contents. Furthermore, a waste container be created, in addition to the reception of normal waste one Separate intake of burning tobacco products allows for safe and secure and easy emptying of the tobacco products allows.

These The object is achieved by a Ash container with the features according to the independent protection claim 1 and through a waste container according to the independent protection claim 13 solved. Further advantages, features, details, aspects and effects of the invention emerge from the subclaims, the description and the attached drawings. characteristics and details described in connection with the ash container according to the invention are, of course, apply also in connection with the waste container according to the invention, and vice versa.

According to one In the first aspect of the invention, the object is achieved by an ash container for Inclusion of ashes of tobacco products or of tobacco products, the Ash container at least one opening and a lockable disposal opening with an ashtray shaft and one at the ashtray shaft pivotally mounted ash flap, the ashtray shaft and the ash flap each a longitudinal profile having a base and two legs projecting from the base, the longitudinal profiles the ashtray shaft and the ash flap so arranged to each other are that the legs of the ashtray shaft to the ash flap and the thighs of the ash flap are directed toward the ashtray and wherein the ashtray and / or the ash flap, in particular at the entrance opening opposite side, a closing element for closing the Has disposal opening, which) at least partially the cross section of the respective longitudinal profile covering, solved.

Of the Ash container is particularly for receiving ashes of tobacco products, such as Cigarettes or cigars, or remnants of tobacco products. In particular, burning tobacco products or matches can be safely thrown into the ash container become. This is the ash container made of non-flammable materials, such as metal or special plastic, designed.

Of the Ash container has at least one insertion opening and a lockable disposal opening on. The throw-in opening is for receiving the tobacco products advantageously at the top End of the ash container intended. The ash container has an ashtray shaft and one at the ashtray shaft attached ash flap on. Due to the pivotally held ash flap is the ash container in two states movable. Preferably, the ash flap on which the insertion opening facing End of the ashtray shaft rotatably mounted on this. Not in one swung out state, i. when closed, the ash flap form the ash flap and the ashtray shaft a receptacle for the tobacco products. If the ash flap is pivoted away from the ashtray shaft, i. in the open state, opens in the lower area the disposal opening of the ash container. As a result, the contents of the ash container can be easily emptied. By returning the Ash flap in the non-pivoted state closes this the resulting disposal opening and thrown in smoking products through the ash container be resumed.

The ashtray shaft and the ash flap advantageously each have a longitudinal profile with a base and two legs projecting from the base. The longitudinal profiles can be designed differently. The longitudinal profiles of the Ashtray shaft and the ash flap are arranged in such a way that the legs of the ashtray shaft are directed towards the ash flap and the legs of the ash flap toward the ashtray shaft. As a result, the ash flap and the ashtray shaft form a closed container when the ash flap rests against the ashtray shaft when closed. In the non-pivoted state of the ash flap, the ash flap and the ashtray shaft form a hollow profile through the two longitudinal profiles arranged in opposite directions. For closing the resulting hollow profile, the ashtray shaft and / or the ash flap, in particular on the side facing away from the insertion opening, has one or more end elements which at least partially cover / cover the cross section of the respective longitudinal profile. It when the spanned by the base and the legs cross-section of the end of the ashtray shaft is completely covered by the closing element is particularly advantageous. The closing element can be perpendicular or inclined to the longitudinal axis of the ash flap or ashtray shaft. Preferably, the closing element is inclined to the longitudinal axis of the ash flap or to the longitudinal axis of the ashtray shaft. As a result, smoked goods inserted into the ash container can simply slide out of it when the ash flap changes from the non-pivoted state into the opened state. By pivoting the ash flap the disposal opening is released.

It It is also conceivable that a closing element is a partial area of the Cross section of the ash flap and another closing element covers a portion of the cross section of the ashtray shaft. In this case, the two end elements are such to each other arranged that they are in the non-pivoted state of the ash flap the resulting hollow profile, i. Close the ash container and the disposal opening.

The Ash flap is so pivotally held on the ashtray, that they are in by the longitudinal profile spanned area is swung. Preferably, it encloses the However, pivot the ash flap. That is, the legs of the ash flap run when pivoting the ash flap along the outside the thigh of the ashtray shaft.

The longitudinal profiles The ash flap and the ashtray shaft can be a variety of different Shapes have. In particular, the basis of the longitudinal profiles can be configured as desired be. In a possible Embodiment may be provided, for example, that the base the longitudinal profiles is missing. This may for example be the case if the longitudinal profile a ring segment-shaped or V-shaped Embodiment has. The legs of the longitudinal element would then not on a common basis, but directly with each other be connected. The thighs can then be formed, for example, straight or ring segment.

Prefers is an ash container, in which the longitudinal profiles of the ashtray shaft and the ash flap are U-shaped and at the legs of the ashtray parallel to the thighs of the Ash flap run. By such a configuration of the ashtray and the ash flap can especially easily along the ash flap the inside or the outside of the Legs of the ashtray shaft to be pivoted. U-shaped longitudinal profiles are also simple and inexpensive produced.

in the closed, i. not pivoted, condition of the ash flap is the final element of the ashtray shaft, which is the ground of the ash container forms with its side facing away from the base of the ashtray at the base of the ash flap, so that the disposal opening completely closed is. If the closing element is provided on the ash flap, lies the closing element of the ash flap with its the base of the ash flap on the opposite side of the base of the ashtray.

advantageously, is the ash flap of the ash tray designed in such a way that they are form-fitting is pivotable in or around the ashtray. This means that the legs of the ash flap on the inside or the outside slide along the leg of the ashtray shaft. This is the ash container in the closed state of the ash flap, especially well sealed, so that the inserted content lies securely in this. Prefers slide the legs of the ash flap on the outside of the legs of the longitudinal profile along the ashtray shaft, as this remaining content within of the ashtray slid along the ash flap on the thighs the asher shaft is not a hindrance.
