Abstract: An ashtray that can be used in a vehicle has an extinguishing function. The ashtray includes a case having an upper opening and a disposal chamber. A first lid is pivotally supported on one wall of the case and covers a first part of the upper opening. A second lid is pivotally supported on a second wall opposing the first wall and covers a second part of the opening. A slot is formed between the first and second lids. A rotor is rotatably supported by the case below the slot. The rotor has vanes, with adjacent vanes defining receptacles for holding lit cigarettes. One of the receptacles is arranged at a receiving position below the slot and another of the receptacles is arranged at an extinguishing position in which the receptacle is covered by the first lid. A rotating mechanism rotates the rotor such that the receptacle in the receiving position moves to the extinguishing position.
