Safety ash tray for vehicles

Abstract

Abstract A BUCKET TYPE CONTAINER HAS AN INNER REMOVABLE ASH TRAY OF SUBSTANTIAL DEPTH ADAPTED TO BE PARTIALLY FILLED WITH WATER. A REMOVABLE COVER FOR THE CONTAINER HAS A HANDLE EXTENDING ACROSS THE SAME BETWEEN TWO LARGE OPENINGS AND PROVIDING HOLDING MEANS FOR CIGARETTES WHEREBY THE LIGHTED END OF THE CIGARETTE IS ALWAYS POSITIONED ABOVE EITHER OPENING SO THAT THE ASHES WILL ALWAYS DROP INTO THE WATER AND BECOME EXTINGUISHED. THE STRUCTURE PROVIDES A GUARD WHICH PREVENTS ASHES FROM FAILLING INTO THE SPACE BETWEEN THE INNER TRAY AND THE OUTER CONTAINER. A STRIP OF RUBBER-LIKE MATERIAL SUCH AS RUBBER BACKED CARPETING IS SECURED TO THE BOTTOM OF THE CONTAINER AND IS ADAPTED TO SUPPORT AND RETAIN THE CONTAINER IN AN UP- RIGHT POSITION ON THE FLOOR OF AN AUTOMOBILE OR AN A BOAT DECK OR THE LIKE. THE BOTTOM OF THE CONTAINER MAY BE CURVED OR CROWNED TO APPLY TO THE DRIVE SHAFT HUMP IN AN AUTO CLOOR BOARD. ONE OR MORE BINS MAY BE HUNG ON THE SIDES OF THE CONTAINER FOR STORING SMOKING MATERIAL OR FOR USE IN RETAINING WASTE AND THE GUARD CONSISTS OF AN INCLINED WALL PORTION ON THE UPPER END OF THE INNER TRAY WHICH IS AVAILABLE FOR USE AS A PIPE KNOCKER.
