ABSTRACT:
An ash tray comprising a housing having a passageway on the upper end thereof communicating with the interior of the housing, with support means operatively associated with the housing for supporting thereon a cigarette or cigar with its lighted end adjacent to the passageway. A fan is mounted within the housing so constructed and arranged as to create a draft of air through the passageway in a downward direction, and smoke detector means is operatively connected to the fan and contained within the housing, with the smoke detector means adapted to detect the presence of smoke adjacent the passageway so as to obtain electrical energization of the fan such that smoke from the lighted cigarette or cigar is carried into the housing by the draft of air created by the fan. A purifier filter is mounted in the housing between the fan and the passageway so as to obtain a filtering of the smoke prior to the air exiting from the housing. An alarm is operatively associated with the smoke detector means to provide an audible signal when smoke enters the housing, and first switch means is electrically connected to the fan and the alarm such that the fan may be deactivated and the ash tray acts as a smoke detector.
