[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of daily necessities, and specifically relates to a disposable ashtray and ashtray set. [Background technology]

[0002] An ashtray is a device used to collect cigarette ashes and butts. Conventional ashtrays are often made of glass or ceramic, making them bulky and inconvenient to carry. They also require cleaning after use, which is quite cumbersome. The Chinese invention CN204763412U provides a disposable ashtray and a disposable pack, but when used, the contents of the pack must be poured into the ashtray body, resulting in the pack's packaging becoming waste. Therefore, it is extremely important to provide a disposable ashtray and ashtray set that is easy to carry and use. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to solve at least one of the above technical problems, the present invention provides a disposable ashtray, which includes a tray bottom and a tray wall, and the tray bottom is connected to an opening at the lower end of the tray wall to form a container structure, thereby constituting the disposable ashtray.

[0004] Here, dried water-absorbent resin particles are fixed to the bottom of the dish.

[0005] According to the above technical solution, the present invention uses a water-absorbing particle to be directly fixed to the bottom of the tray using a water-based adhesive or the like, so that when in use, water can be poured directly into the tray to make the particle absorb water and expand, forming a water-absorbing resin layer. To extinguish a fire, a cigarette butt can be directly inserted into the disposable ashtray, and the cigarette ash will adhere to the water-absorbing resin.

[0006] Preferably, the dish bottom includes a fixing area and a blank area, the blank area being located on the periphery of the fixing area, and the water-absorbent resin particles are fixed to the fixing area. The blank area has no water-absorbent resin fixed thereto. The blank area is preferably designed in an annular shape, and the fixing area is preferably circular and concentrically arranged within the blank area.

[0007] Preferably, the dish bottom is spaced from an opening in the lower end of the dish wall so that the dish wall forms a gripping portion below the dish bottom.

[0008] Preferably, the outer surface of the dish wall has a spiral ridge to improve aesthetics and gripping friction.

[0009] Preferably, the opening at the top end of the tray wall is provided with at least one downwardly extending locking groove for placing a cigarette therein.

[0010] Preferably, the dish bottom or dish wall is made of PE coated paper or cup paper.

[0011] Preferably, the water-absorbing resin particles are fixed to the bottom of the dish with an adhesive. Since water-based adhesives are non-toxic, non-polluting, non-flammable, and safe to use, in this invention, the dried resin particles are fixed to the bottom of the dish with an aqueous adhesive.

[0012] Preferably, the tray wall is shaped to expand upward from the tray bottom. According to the above technical solution, the tray wall has an expanding shape, so that several disposable ashtrays can be stacked one on top of the other, and the spacing between them prevents the underside of the tray bottom of the upper disposable ashtray from contacting the upper side of the tray bottom of the next ashtray, so that the water-absorbing resin particles are not damaged and the effectiveness of use after pouring water is not impaired.

[0013] An ashtray set includes a plurality of disposable ashtrays according to any one of the above stacked in a nested manner, a storage cylinder having a chamber suitable for storing a plurality of the disposable ashtrays, and a cylinder cover, the cylinder cover having an insertion groove for engaging with the top of the storage cylinder.

[0014] According to the above technical solution, the present invention adopts the stacking method, which makes the storage and packing of the present invention easy, and also makes it easy to carry and transport after online sales.

[0015] Preferably, a plurality of said disposable ashtrays are positioned upside down within said chamber.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantage of the present invention is that the structure of the present invention is simple, and by fixing dry water-absorbent resin particles to the bottom of the dish, it can be used simply by pouring water in to make the water-absorbent resin particles absorb and expand.

[0019] In order to allow those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention and more clearly define the scope of protection claimed by the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below by means of several specific examples of the present invention, which are merely some of the specific embodiments envisioned by the present invention, and the specific and direct descriptions of the relevant structures therein are merely for the purpose of making the present invention easier to understand, and each specific feature does not naturally and directly limit the scope of the present invention.

[0020] Referring to the drawings, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0021] A disposable ashtray comprising a dish bottom 1 having some dry water-absorbent resin particles 2 fixed to at least a part of the surface thereof, and a dish wall 3, wherein the dish bottom 1 is connected to an opening at the lower end of the dish wall 3 to form a container structure, and the container structure forms the disposable ashtray.

[0022] The dish bottom 1 and dish wall 3 are made of a paper material such as PE coated paper or cup paper.

[0023] According to the above technical solution, in this invention, the water-absorbing particles are directly fixed to the bottom 1 of the dish using a water-based adhesive or the like, and when in use, water is poured directly into the dish to make the water-absorbing particles absorb and expand, forming a water-absorbing resin layer, and the cigarette butt 11 can be directly inserted to extinguish the fire, and the cigarette ash will adhere to the water-absorbing resin.

[0024] This invention eliminates the need for an included material pack when using the device, simplifying the usage procedure.

[0025] The container structure of this invention is made of paper, which is more environmentally friendly than traditional plastic ashtrays.

[0026] Preferably, the water-absorbent resin particles 2 are fixed to the dish bottom 1 by an adhesive.

[0027] In this embodiment, the water-absorbent resin particles 2 are provided only on the upper surface of the dish bottom 1, but in other embodiments, the water-absorbent resin particles 2 may be provided on both the upper and lower surfaces.

[0028] Since the water-based adhesive is non-toxic, non-polluting, non-flammable and safe to use, in this invention the dried resin particles are fixed to the dish bottom 1 by the water-based adhesive.

[0029] The dish bottom 1 includes a fixing area 4 and a blank area 5 on the periphery of the fixing area 4, and the water-absorbent resin particles 2 are fixed to the fixing area 4. No water-absorbent resin is fixed to the blank area 5, and the blank area 5 preferably has an annular shape. In this embodiment, the fixing area 4 is circular as shown in FIG. 5. In another embodiment, the fixing area 4 is concentrically arranged within the blank area 5 as shown in FIG. 6. In another embodiment, the fixing area 4 may be heart-shaped, triangular, or other patterns as shown in FIG. 7, and may be customized, for example, with a company logo.

[0030] During production, the dish bottom 1 is first produced, dried water-absorbent resin particles 2 are fixed to the dish bottom 1 with a water-based adhesive, and after the fixed portion has dried, the dish wall 3 is attached. For example, as shown in Figure 3, part of the blank area 5 is folded to form a folded portion 6, and then the dish wall 3 and the dish wall 3 are thermocompression molded. Alternatively, as shown in Figure 2, the dish wall 3 is directly adhesively fixed to the thick wall of the dish bottom 1.

[0031] The dish wall 3 has a shape that expands upward from the dish bottom 1. The dish bottom 1 is spaced apart from the opening at the lower end of the dish wall 3, so that the dish wall 3 has a gap 8 at the lower end of the dish bottom 1, and the dish wall 3 where the gap 8 is located forms a gripping portion 7.

[0032] According to the above technical solution, the tray wall 3 has an expanding shape, so that several disposable ashtrays can be stacked one inside the other, and the installation of the spacing portion 8 prevents the underside of the tray bottom 1 of the upper disposable ashtray from contacting the upper side of the tray bottom 1 of the next ashtray, which means that the water-absorbing resin particles 2 are not damaged and the effectiveness of use after pouring water is not impaired.

[0033] The outer surface of the dish wall 3 is provided with a spiral ridge 9 or a screw groove, which improves the aesthetic appearance and increases the friction when gripped.

[0034] The opening at the top end of the tray wall 3 is provided with at least one downwardly facing locking groove 10 in which a cigarette 11 is placed.

[0035] The ashtray set includes several of the disposable ashtrays stacked one inside the other, and further includes a holder 12 whose chamber 13 has a shape and size that matches the disposable ashtrays. Several of the disposable ashtrays are placed upside down in the chamber 13. A holder lid 15 is further provided with an insertion groove 14 that engages with the top of the holder lid 12.

[0036] According to the above technical solution, the stacking of the present invention makes it easy to store and pack the present invention, and also makes it easy to carry and transport after online sales.

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the advantage of the present invention is that the structure of the present invention is simple, and by fixing dry water-absorbent resin particles 2 to the bottom 1 of the dish, it can be used by simply pouring water into the dish when in use, causing the water-absorbent resin particles 2 to absorb and expand.

[0038] In this embodiment, the overall shape of the container structure is circular, although other embodiments may also employ square, triangular or other shapes.

[0039] The water-absorbent resin particles 2 used in the present invention may be various colors such as red, blue, etc.

[0040] Although the technical solutions of the present invention have been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, it is of course easy to understand by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art may make equivalent modifications or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and all of the technical solutions after such modifications or substitutions will fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
