Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of daily glass processing, and specifically relates to a square ashtray. Background Technology

[0002] Commonly used ashtrays typically have the cigarette holder located on top of the outer perimeter of the ashtray. Due to cost and weight constraints, the ashtray's thickness cannot be made very thick. This results in a short support distance for the cigarette. Since cigarettes are usually burning, the cigarette holder on the market is quite short, generally using the ashtray's wall thickness as the length for holding the cigarette. Often, the burning cigarette, due to gravity imbalance, will fall outside the ashtray, damaging the surface. If flammable materials such as paper, cloth, oil, or books are nearby, it could potentially cause a fire. Furthermore, using a standard ashtray is unsafe if someone falls asleep in bed while reading or smoking; the consequences could be serious. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A square ashtray includes a square cylinder body, with extensions at each of the four corners of the cylinder body along the length of the cylinder body. Each extension has a cigarette holder slot that extends from the top of the extension to the edge of the square cylinder body.

[0006] Further technology of this utility model:

[0007] Preferably, a blind hole is provided at the bottom of the square cylinder body, and the blind hole is equipped with a silicone base with a diameter equivalent to that of the hole, the silicone base protruding from the bottom plane of the square cylinder body.

[0008] Preferably, the side of the extension is curved, and the contact with the inner wall of the square cylinder is a rounded transition.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the cigarette holder slot is provided with a deep groove on the side of the square cylinder body near the edge.

[0010] Preferably, the side wall of the square cylinder body is provided with a notch that communicates with a deep groove.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] This utility model features extensions at each of the four corners of the square ashtray body, extending along the length of the body's sides. The elongated cigarette holders can contain most or even all of a cigarette, preventing it from falling out of the ashtray due to gravitational imbalance while burning. This facilitates daily maintenance for users. Ultimately, it meets consumers' demands for high-quality, practical, and economical glass ashtrays, enhancing the overall user experience.

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0019] like Figure 1-3 This embodiment provides a square ashtray, including a square cylinder body 10. The four corners of the square cylinder body 10 are provided with extensions 11 along the length of the cylinder body. The extensions 11 are provided with semi-circular cigarette holders 12 with a diameter of 6 mm and a length of 45 mm. The cigarette holders 12 spans from the top of the extensions 11 to the edge of the square cylinder body 10.

[0020] The elongated cigarette holder 12 contains the entire cigarette, preventing cigarette butts or ash from falling outside the ashtray. Furthermore, in this embodiment, four cigarette holders 12 are provided, each independent and unaffected by the others. The four cigarette holders 12 are oriented in four directions, facilitating easy access for people positioned at any point to place or retrieve cigarettes.

[0021] The side of the extension 11 is curved, and its contact with the inner wall of the square cylinder 10 is a rounded transition. This reduces hard-to-clean areas and facilitates cleaning.

[0022] The square shape combined with the extended cigarette guide groove makes the corners easier to clean and less likely to retain ash compared to traditional ashtrays.

[0023] At the same time, it should be noted that glass itself is fragile, and the relatively smooth surface of a glass ashtray results in low friction with the table surface. When placed on flat surfaces such as coffee tables or desktops, it is prone to slipping. If accidentally touched, it may fall and shatter, causing damage to the item and potentially posing a safety hazard, such as injury from glass shards. This not only affects the user experience but also limits the application of glass ashtrays in many scenarios.

[0024] To address the slip resistance issue of glass ashtrays, some products attach silicone anti-slip mats to the bottom. These mats utilize the good adhesion and flexibility of silicone to increase friction with the tabletop, thus preventing slippage. However, this method has limitations. Silicone mats are prone to aging and wear after prolonged use, resulting in decreased adhesion and reduced anti-slip effect. Furthermore, if the mats are not firmly attached, they may detach and be lost.

[0025] Some ashtrays feature anti-slip textures on their bottoms or walls, such as dots, stripes, or grid patterns. While these textures offer some anti-slip protection, they can trap dirt and grime when the surface is soiled with ash, water, or other stains, making cleaning more difficult and potentially affecting the anti-slip effect. Additionally, some ashtrays use suction cups on the bottom to hold the ashtray in place. However, this method requires a relatively flat surface and is less effective on uneven surfaces. Furthermore, frequent suction cup removal and attachment can damage the surface.

[0026] In this embodiment, the bottom of the square cylinder body 10 is reserved with 4mm equidistant blind holes 13. The blind holes 13 are equipped with silicone bases 14. The silicone bases 14 are in the shape of an inverted "T" cylinder. The upright part of the inverted "T" is made of a cylinder with a diameter of 4mm, and the horizontal bottom part is made of a cylinder with a diameter of 6mm.

[0027] The silicone base 14 protrudes from the bottom plane of the square ashtray body 10. This significantly improves stability: by adding an insertable anti-slip silicone pad to the bottom of the ashtray, the friction with the surface it is placed on is increased, effectively preventing the ashtray from sliding and tipping over due to table shaking or accidental contact, preventing cigarette ash and butts from spilling and polluting the environment, and ensuring a clean and safe usage environment.

[0028] While achieving anti-slip functionality, the design also considers aesthetics and practicality. It features a simple, elegant appearance that meets modern aesthetic demands, avoiding a bulky shape or negative visual impact caused by the anti-slip structure.

[0029] In practice, it was found that the extended cigarette holder 12 can contain the entire cigarette, which is safe, but the width of the cigarette holder 12 is not very wide, making it relatively difficult to remove the cigarette.

[0030] In this embodiment, the bottom of the cigarette holder 12 near the edge of the square cylinder 10 is provided with a deep groove 15. The cigarette butt is generally located above the deep groove 15. This reduces contact between the cigarette butt and the square cylinder 10, making it more hygienic. Furthermore, pressing the cigarette butt can lift the cigarette for easy removal.

[0031] The square cylinder body 10 has a notch 16 on its side wall that communicates with the deep groove 15, reducing dead corners for hygiene and making it easier to clean.

[0032] It should be noted that the extension 11 and the square cylinder 10 in the above structure are both integrally formed.

[0033] In this document, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0034] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0035] The above description is merely an example and illustration of the structure of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not deviate from the structure of the utility model or exceed the scope defined in the claims, they should all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
