ABSTRACT:
An ashtray having a hollow body with a top opening serving as a recipient for extinguished butts, matches and ashes. A unit pivots in this top opening. The unit includes two series of semi-tubular grooves in parallel spaced apart relationship, one series being underneath the other series. The said unit can pivot a half-turn in one direction and a half-turn in the other direction such that the cigarette butts placed in the semi-tubular grooves which are right side up are automatically discharged into the hollow body when the unit is pivoted a half-turn. The hollow body is additionally provided with lateral openings in the form of slits wide enough to admit matches and ashes but not wide enough to admit a cigarette so that the user is obliged to put his cigarettes or butts in the semi-tubular grooves. The semi-tubular grooves have a semi-cylindrical bottom conforming closely to the contours of a cigarette and straight sides rising up in full diameter and in parallel spaced apart relationship from the said bottom at least as high as a cigarette placed in the semi-tubular groove. The semi-tubular grooves thus ensure that a cigarette placed within will be extinguished quickly and automatically.
