Abstract
Abstract A combined cigarette package holder and ashtray compartment. The cigarette package holder is formed of a generally elongate container whose dimensions are such that a package of cigarettes can be held therein. The ashtray compartment is formed of a similar shaped elongate container having a common side wall with the cigarette package holder. An external bracket is formed on one of the outer walls for holding a book of matches. The ashtray compartment includes a shelf in which is mounted a screen at the bottom of a tubular device for extinguishing lit cigarettes. A slidably removable receptacle enables removal of ashes from the bottom of the ashtray compartment. The ashtray compartment also includes a lockable cover to prevent ash spillage.
