Benefits of technology

The invention is a portable holder-ashtray that can be carried by a smoker and used to hold and extinguish cigarettes. It is designed to be convenient, sturdy, and easily portable. The holder-ashtray has a special adaptor to hold and extinguish slim cigarettes, which are becoming more popular. The holder-ashtray has a chamber for holding the lighted end of a cigarette butt, with a restriction that prevents oxygen from entering and smothering the butt. The opening into the chamber can be used as an ashtray for receiving ashes flicked off the end of the cigarette. The holder-ashtray is safer, more efficient, and easier to use than other portable ashtrays.

Problems solved by technology

No other portable cigarette ashtray offers this feature.

Effect test

example 1

[0026]A number of tests with various commercially available cigarettes were conducted using a prototype of the following dimensions:

Overall Length—5½ inches

Length from base to throat—4.938 inches

Diameter of mouth—0.32 inches

Diameter of throat—0.305 inches

Diameter of base—0.33 inches

[0027]Commercially available cigarettes used for testing included Du Maurer (filter), Player's, Export, Craven A (filter) and Benson Hedges slims, It was found that each of these brand name cigarettes passed smoothly and snugly past the throat and were held snugly by the throat even if not inserted entirely into the chamber of the holder-ashtray. If the cigarettes were pushed all the way past the throat, the cigarettes fell freely into the interior of the chamber. When the cigarette was inserted partially into the holder-ashtray and held by the designed throttles it can be withdrawn easily. Moreover, when the holder-ashtray was inverted with a cigarette contained in the chamber, the cigarette did not fall...

Abstract

A novel, portable cigarette holder, extinguisher ashtray, which is capable of fitting into the pocket, purse or handbag of a smoker.The holder-ashtray has been designed with a special throat consisting of three precision placed throttles that firmly holds the inserted cigarette by compressing the sides of the lighted cigarette, causing the lighted cigarette to be extinguished and held without damage for relighting.The holder-ashtray has restricted internal throat throttles which press the sides of a lighted cigarette butt inserted into the holder-ashtray and smothers the cigarette. The entrance to the holder-ashtray is flared to enhance entry of the lighted end of the cigarette into the holder-ashtray. The interior of the holder-ashtray is gradually flared away from the throat to encourage the cigarette butt to drop into the interior of the holder-ashtray once the cigarette has been inserted past the throttles in the throat. When inverted, the holder-ashtray retains the cigarette butt against the bottom of the throttles which acts as a stopper and prevents ashes from falling out.The holder ashtray is designed to hold standard manufactured cigarettes as well as an adaptor that will allow the holder ashtray to accommodate various diameter size slim cigarettes.
