ABSTRACT:
A cursory inspection of the device reveals a small "Funnel" but because the funnel (or device) is plugged at the base (or bottom) the name "Funny Funnel" was developed. Unlike a true funnel, the back is flat and higher than the rounded front. The highly visible area on the inside of back will be referred to as the "area of promotion," which may be used for advertising, logos, etc. Vehicle use requires a Velcro.RTM. "button" for support while home or industrial use requires a supportive base. In both instances the "funnel" can be easily removed for cleaning, etc. A burning cigarette is easily deposited because of the large opening at the top. The cigarette will extinguish itself in seconds and can be relit. The "funnel" shape of the device, the use of the Velcro.RTM. button and the "area of promotion" are new a new concept for cigarette extinguishers.
