DE3035976A1 - Lighted cigarette extinguishing device - comprises tube open at one end of slightly larger diameter than cigarette - Google Patents

Abstract

The device extinguishes lighted cigarettes and similarly-shaped tobacco articles, and comprises a tube (6) open at one end. The tube ID (D) is slightly greater than the dia (d) of the cigarette (5), while its internal length (1) is sufficient to prevent any air reaching the burning zone. There can be an insertion funnel (2) at the open end of the tube, which can have a fixing device for subsequent attachment to an existing ashtray, or alternatively its closed end can be fixed to the latter.

Description

The invention relates to an extinguishing device

smoldering rod-shaped tobacco products, in particular cigarettes, cigars etc.

After quitting smoking rod-shaped tobacco products, in particular of cigarettes and cigars, there is a need for post-smoke and afterglow to remove the leftover burning cigarette end. Usually this requirement was met by removing the smoldering cigarette residue with your fingers is expressed on the inner surface of an ashtray. However, this procedure is laborious and unreliable, because new oxygen from the air keeps coming out while it is being pushed out maintains the Breun process and there is also the possibility that not quite printed out, smoldering cigarette remains re-ignite afterwards, what in many cases leads to fire damage.

It has therefore already been suggested to fill larger ashtrays with sand, in which the smoldering cigarette remains are put, so that the smoldering fire goes out. This solution has the disadvantage that it is only suitable for larger ashtrays, for example come into question in public transport squares.

The invention is based on the object with as little structural as possible Expenditure a fast and reliable device for extinguishing glowing W rod-shaped To propose tobacco products that are also in conjunction with the commercial sizes can be used by ashtrays and which has the particular advantage that so far required work of squeezing out the smoldering cigarette residue with your fingers not applicable.

This object is achieved according to the invention by a one-sided open Tube whose inside diameter is slightly is sized larger; than the diameter of the cigarette and its inner length is so large that the atmospheric oxygen does not gain access to the glow zone, at the open end of the A Lin plug-in funnel is expediently arranged in the small tube.

The tube can be used for subsequent connection to an ashtray be provided any fastening organs.

The tube can also, especially with its closed End, be firmly attached to the ashtray.

Three exemplary embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail below, FIG. 1 shows the device in approximately natural size, partially in section Side view and in fixed connection with an ashtray, Fig. 2 a modified one Embodiment that can be retrofitted onto the side wall of an ashtray and FIG. 3 shows a further embodiment with clamping members arranged at the lower end for attaching to the side wall of an ashtray.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, there is an ashtray 3 firmly connected to a tube 6, the upper opening of which is widening Has insertion funnel 2.

The still smoldering remainder of a burning cigarette 5 is with the Fingers into this device consisting of the insertion funnel 2 and the tube 6 1 inserted from above with the burning end first and for a few seconds in held this position.

Since the inside diameter D of the tube 6 is only slightly larger is also a certain amount than the diameter d of the cigarette 5 and the tube 6 Minimum internal length 1, which allows the access of atmospheric oxygen to the glow zone prevented, the glow of the cigarette end inserted into the tube goes out in a very short time; since the combustion gases that are still generated do not flow in allow the oxygen in the air.

The end of the cigarette, freed from its glow in this way, is then stored in the rest of the interior of the ashtray.

In the embodiments shown in Figures 2 and 3 are Examples of special designs shown that can be retrofitted to the side wall from ashtrays 3 and 3 '' can be attached. The modifications shown here 1t and 1 "have additional fastening elements 4 'and 4", the subsequent Connect to ashtray 31 and 311.

In the case of the device described, there is no need for finger dirt Expressing a smoldering cigarette residue and the risk of it glowing again of an expressed cigarette residue. The advantage of simplified handling is thus combined with the advantage of increased security.

For ashtrays used in # aststätten it is particularly important that the For the first time, the guest is offered the opportunity to take his just lighted cigarette To extinguish the order of food non-destructively and to light it up again after the food has been consumed.
