ABSTRACT:
A portable spittoon includes a hollow body member having a top access opening disposed in an oblique plane. A pivotal cover is operated by a thumb tab. An annular shoulder is recessed within the access opening and engages a radially outwardly extending flange formed at an inlet opening of a frusto conical funnel. An outlet end of the funnel is suspended within the hollow body and has a downwardly curved end to direct spittle to a central interior floor portion of the hollow body member. A disposable plastic liner is received within the hollow body member and has an upper end edge clamped between the radial funnel flange and the annular recessed shoulder. A deodorant and disinfectant treated sponge is secured to a bottom floor portion of the liner and rests on the interior floor of the hollow body member. The spittoon includes a handle and is designed to dispose of tabacco chewers' spittle in a socially acceptable and sanitary fashion.
