Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ashtray technology, specifically to an ashtray structure. Background Technology
[0002] Ashtrays, used to hold cigarette ash and butts, originated in the late 19th century. After the advent of cigarettes, the unsanitary practice of flicking ash and butts everywhere led to the development of ashtrays. Initially, ashtrays were sometimes called cigarette dishes, and were mostly made of earthenware or porcelain, but also of glass, plastic, jade, or metal. Their shape and size were not fixed, but they all had a clear distinguishing feature: several grooves about the thickness of a cigarette stick, specifically designed to hold cigarettes. Besides their practical function, ashtrays are also works of art, possessing a certain aesthetic value.
[0003] With the increasing popularity of cars, many drivers smoke while driving. Existing traditional ashtrays are relatively low, and in strong winds while driving, even if the ash is shaken into the ashtray, the outside wind can easily blow the ash into the car when the window is open, making the interior very dirty. Therefore, many drivers like to shake the ash directly out the window. However, when drivers shake their cigarettes out the window, the ash is also easily blown into the car by the wind, resulting in a poor interior environment and affecting the passenger experience.
