Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automobile ashtray having a lid that can be opened and closed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various ashtrays are attached to instrument panels of automobiles. this house,
The most common pull-out type ashtray has a structure in which the main body of the ashtray is pulled out from the guide case attached to the instrument panel and used, so if the change lever is close to the ashtray, the driver will move it during shift operation. His hand hit the ashtray, which could cause a jam.

Therefore, an ashtray for an automobile having a structure including an openable / closable lid as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 has been proposed. An automobile ashtray 51 shown in FIG. 11 has an ashtray main body 53 mounted on the instrument panel 52 side, and a lid 54 for opening and closing the opening of the ashtray main body 53.
Reference numeral 4 is attached to the lower portion of the ashtray main body 53 so as to rotate around the lower end portion, and is configured to open downward. Further, the automobile ashtray 61 shown in FIG. 12 has an ashtray body 63 mounted on the instrument panel 62 side and a lid 64 for opening and closing the opening of the ashtray body 63, and the lid 64 has an upper end portion. It is attached to both side surfaces of the ashtray main body 63 so as to rotate about the center of the ashtray, and when opened, the upper end portion is configured to be an upper opening which is arranged on the upper surface side of the ashtray main body 63.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned lower open ashtray 51 for an automobile, the ash of the cigarette T is used by dropping it on the lid 54 in the open state, but it is easy to use.
When paper or the like is discarded on the lid 54, the fire of the cigarette T may burn onto the paper or the like, and the combustible material on the top of the lid 54 may be burned. Therefore, in order to prevent burning when a flame rises on the lid 54, it is necessary to form the instrument panel 52 in a shape that inclines toward the front side of the vehicle body toward the upper side, and in terms of the layout of the instrument panel 52. It was a disadvantage.

On the other hand, in the upper opened ashtray 61 for an automobile, since the lid 64 in the open state also serves as a fireproof plate, it is possible to prevent burning of the upper portion of the lid 64, but the ash of the cigarette T is a box. Since it is thrown directly into the ashtray main body 63, the position is substantially farther than the pull-out type ashtray,
In addition, the lid 64 is jammed when the ash of the cigarette T is dropped, which makes it difficult to use.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide an ashtray for an automobile which is easy to use and excellent in fireproofness.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, in the present invention, a case attached to the vehicle body side, an ashtray main body incorporated in the case, and a lower end portion of the ashtray main body. In a car ashtray for opening and closing the opening of the ashtray body by the lid, the fire plate is slid on the upper part of the ashtray body via a pair of left and right guide members. The fireproof plate is freely attached and detached, and both sides of the lid body are respectively connected to the tips of the guide members, and the fireproof plate is slid along with the rotation of the lid body, so that the fireproof plate is taken in and out of the case. Is configured as follows.

[0008]

In the automobile ashtray according to the present invention, the ash of the cigarette is dropped on the lid body which is rotated and opened, and when the lid body is opened, the fireproof plate slides on the ashtray body to come out of the case. Since it covers the upper part of the body, it is easy to use because it does not touch the hand during the shift operation, and even if the flame rises on the lid, the combustible material on the upper side does not burn.

[0009]
