  • Patent number: 9049888
    Abstract: An ashtray having a conical shaped wall. The ashtray is used in sandy environments. The wall consists of wall supports and a series of elongated blades along the length of the lower wall. The ashtray has an attached lid that snaps into the wall supports with an opening to receive extinguished cigarettes. When the ashtray is inserted into the substrate, the external pressure exerted against the wall causes the blades to open. The ashtray is then twisted into the substrate causing the receptacle to fill with sand thereby covering the lid. Cigarettes are extinguished in the substrate. Once the upper surface is filled with waste, the ashtray is lifted and the substrate easily exits the wall cutouts and bottom opening. The butts are easily pushed through the lid. The ashtray can then be reinserted into the substrate covering the waste and providing for a fresh surface to receive additional cigarettes.
