Description

DESCRIPTION

Accessory for tobacco packs

TECHNIQUE SECTOR

The present invention refers to an accessory for tobacco packs, intended to be attached to said pack with a detachable nature, in order to offer means that allow the waste generated during cigarette consumption to be collected and recycled.

It is therefore the object of the invention to provide a device that prevents the disposal of this type of waste everywhere in all streets, parks, gardens, beaches, etc., in order to facilitate its collection and even its recycling.

The device also allows the corresponding lighter to be stored in the same set, as well as various containers or bags for receiving the butts, in order to be able to constantly reuse it.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In the field of practical application of the invention, the residues of consumed cigarettes, and more specifically the filter for the butts, are mostly made of a plastic called cellulose acetate, a material that is highly resistant to degradation, which makes it This type of waste lasts over time and therefore substantially increases the possibility of contaminating the environment where it has been dumped.

That is why you should try to control your deposit in places where it can be removed for proper treatment and recycling.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The recommended ashtray satisfactorily resolves the aforementioned problem, based on a simple but highly effective solution.

For this, the device of the invention is made up of two pieces that can be coupled and uncoupled from each other.

The first of the pieces consists of a support for the tobacco pack, materialized in a casing in which a rectangular prismatic skeleton is defined open at the top, which includes springs on its sides to guarantee the stability of the pack, presenting a lower height. than the pack itself, but slightly higher than the height of its lid, so that its edge is blocked once it is inserted into the casing, preventing it from accidentally opening.

This casing includes at least one elastic band that allows the corresponding lighter to be attached to the assembly.

The second of the pieces, which can be attached to the previous one, consists of a casing that acts as an ashtray and a bag dispenser for said ashtray.

More specifically, this second casing will incorporate coupling and uncoupling means to the first casing, and it will define two independent chambers accessible through the corresponding covers, a larger chamber, acting as an ashtray, and a chamber in functions of storage space for bags for said ashtray.

Thus, the ashtray, which is metallic in nature, includes an inclined surface that ends in a waste reception mouth, into which one of the bags stored in the previously described side compartment is attached.

The ashtray discharge mouth will include an intermediate closing element that prevents the exit of ashes and odors when the device is not being used.

From this structuring it is possible to facilitate the recycling of remains from cigarettes, being able to take advantage of these materials to obtain the device of the invention itself (casings, covers and bags) from their recycling.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is going to be made below and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of its practical embodiment, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description. where, with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, the following has been represented:

Figure 1.- Shows a perspective view of an accessory for tobacco packs made in accordance with the object of the present invention, on which the corresponding tobacco pack appears attached.

Figure 2.- Shows a profile view of the assembly of the previous figure.

Figure 3.- Shows a plan view of the device with both covers open.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the figures outlined, it can be seen how the device of the invention is made up of two elements that can be coupled and uncoupled from each other.

The first of the elements is materialized in a casing (1) for receiving the tobacco pack (15), a casing preferably made from recycled plastic, which has a rectangular base from which four "L"-shaped profiles emerge as elements. guide and retention of the pack (15), presenting these profiles a lower height than the pack (15) but slightly higher than the lowest point of the lid (15') of said pack, in order that, as shown in figures 1 and 2, once the pack is inserted, the lid (15 ') is blocked, avoiding the accidental exit of the cigarettes, so that in order to extract one from its interior we must apply a slight pressure towards the outside of the pack, exceeding the height of the support a few millimeters, which makes the lid (15' ) from the pack that can be opened, extract the cigarette and pressing it again towards the bottom of the support, the lid is once again in a position that cannot be opened.

To stabilize the pack (15), it has been provided that the casing (1) includes some springs (2) on its sides, additionally including some elastic bands (10) which are designed to be able to attach the corresponding lighter.

At the rear of the casing (1) there is a second casing (13) acting as an ashtray and a bag dispenser (8) for said ashtray.

This second casing (13) is fixed to the casing (1) by means of a male-female system (3) in order to proceed to uncoupling it easily and simply by slightly moving the pack support upwards, leaving them separated In order to be able to be used independently or to guarantee its transport without causing too much volume, preventing it from being able to be inserted into pockets, since it is separated, its dimension is similar to a cigarette holder.

The ashtray compartment consists of a top cover (4) which has a small protrusion which favors its opening. This lid has small lugs (17) on the inside, which guarantees its closing precision. Once said upper cover (4) is open, we find the ashtray, in which a metallic shield (5) is established with a slight inclination to a mouth (6) for waste discharge.

The metallic shield (5) will include some reliefs to facilitate the extinguishing of the cigarette, so that when the cigarette is extinguished it is inserted through the mouth (6) being deposited inside the bag (8).

After performing this function and not having the need to use it anymore, we proceed to close an intermediate cover (12) associated with the mouth (6), tilting by an axis (14) preventing the exit of ash, odors and filters from inside the bag, this bag (8) is attached to the mouth (6) by means of the supports (7), so that closing the upper lid (4) keeps everything closed, preventing the exit of remains or odors from it.

In figure 2 we can see the placement of the bag (8) inside the main compartment of the second casing (13) and the cigarette butts (16) inside said bag (8), so that the Estimated capacity of this bag is 20 filters, properly turned off.

When we are ready to remove the bag (8) because it is full, it is attached to the mouth (6), so that to proceed with its removal, in a suitable place for recycling, we must extract the metal shield ( 5) upwards and the bag will come out attached to the mouth (6), so applying a little pressure on the supports (7) which are fixing the bag (8) to the mouth (6), the shape of the mouth (8b) of the bag (8) guarantees that no ash or cigarette filters come out, all as can be seen in figure 4.

In accordance with another of the characteristics of the invention, a second housing (9) is defined in the second casing (13) for housing one or more replacement bags (8) inside, a housing that is accessed through a second cover (11) which has lugs (17') which guarantees its firmness when closing by pressure.

In short, what is intended is to be able to contribute as much as possible to facilitate the recycling of said remains from cigarettes.

In this sense, a large part of the parts that participate in the device could be obtained from plastics from the recycling of plastic filters.
