Abstract: An ash tray having fire protecting activity and comprising an ash tray body (2) including an ash container (24) and an internal or external time delay circuit which is connected to an acoustic and/or optical alarm and supervising means. The ash tray is formed with a lid (3) which is normally intended to be closed, whereby the time delay circuit (25) and any other units connected thereto are disconnected but which upon opening of the lid actuates the time delay circuit, whereby the time delay circuit provides an alarm signal unless the lid (3) is closed before a predetermined set time delay has passed to an end. The lid (3) preferably is actuated by a spring (16) which tends to open the lid and against the action of which the lid can be closed, whereby the time delay circuit (25) and the alarm means connected thereto are reset. The ash tray may include a cigarette lighter (32) which is covered and non-actuatable when the lid is closed but which is exposed and can be actuated when the lid is opened.

Abstract: An ashtray snuffer having a main body and a top cover, wherein the main body serves as an ashtray and the top cover, which partially covers said main body loosely fits on top thereof. They could be sonic welded together in some cases. The top cover has a straight or downward sloping tapered hole that serves to extinguish a lighted cigarette by inserting it thereinto with a slight pressure which removes air and oxygen from the burning material without mutilating the cigarette. A holder or storage space for a cigarette lighter is also formed into the top cover. In another embodiment of the invention it may also have a storage space for new, unused cigarettes and a hinged cover for the inlet opening to the inside of the ashtray to prevent smoke from smoldering embers therein, to escape to the outside.

Abstract: The present invention consists of an ashtray with a three sided upright portion with pairs of slide-in grooves to display advertising cards which extend above the top for removing and turning to view opposite slides, said three sided portion including a front center upright semi-circular flue with an attaching bracket at its lower end at holding means at the upper end thereof; the ashtray further including a semi-circular tray with engaging pins which couple onto said attaching bracket, said tray in a horizontal position supports a cigarette and when rotated upward, with a lighted end down cigarette thereon, engages said flue to produce a rounded flue, wherein an updraft through said flue sustains a cigarette in a lighted condition.

Abstract: The invention pertains to an improved cigarette snuffing implement which has a clamp to grip the sidewall of most vehicular, and some household, ashtrays, and a snuffer, comprised of split tube construction, having complementry sections, and a spring loaded hinge which pivotally attaches the sections. The split tube is open at both ends with one end terminating and secured, at the top of the clamp, and the other end positioned for the reception of cigarettes. An ejector arm is located within the split tube so that once the cigarette is deposited, and snuffed, the omplimentry body portions may be separated, and the cigaratte ejected to the bottom of the ashtray.

Abstract: Mud choke apparatus is disclosed, and the preferred embodiment has the form of a hollow, tubular body receiving a mud flow introduced from a lateral port, the flow being directed through an axial passage and past a valve seat. The valve seat is a replaceable, hardened metal liner and is formed with a gradual taper so that the mud flows from the large end through the tapered, smaller end. Thereafter, it flows out of the body through an axial opening. The flow of mud is throttled by a tapered, hardened plug serving as a valve element which is received into the valve seat. A hydraulic cylinder and piston with a connecting rod move the plug. The plug has a surrounding, perpendicular shoulder which seals and seats against a shoulder on the insert to fully close the throttling valve apparatus. Flow is choked by inserting the tapered plug with controlled clearance into the tapered valve seat.

Abstract: A game comprising a gameboard having a stationary pedestal adapted for placement on a support surface. A circular platform having a playing surface on one side thereof is capable of rotation with respect to the stationary pedestal. A plurality of compartments are formed into the playing surface for receiving said playing chips therein.

Abstract: An ash tray adapted to support a smoke producing object such as a cigarette or a cigar, is provided. The ash tray comprises a body including a wall which defines an enclosed interior space. At least one aperture for accepting the cigarette is formed in the wall, the aperture defining an opening into the interior space. A flange is formed on the wall adjacent to and below the aperture, the flange being adapted to support the cigarette inserted through the aperture. The smoke from the cigarette will be trapped within the enclosed interior space and after a predetermined time the burning cigarette will be extinguished.

Abstract: A self-acting device for filtering the smoke commonly associated with cigarettes and cigars includes an ashtray which supports a shroud for confining smoke. The shroud in turn supports a motorized fan which creates a flow of air to carry the smoke. In close proximity to the fan and also supported by the shroud is a detector which acts to sequentially sense the smoke and activate the fan motor. A portion of the detector also serves to separate a certain amount of the smoke from the air. Smoke which remains is further drawn upwards by the suction forces created by the fan through a filter before the filtered air is ultimately propelled into the immediately surrounding environment.

Abstract: An ash tray utilizes an open mouth container having one wall thereof extended beyond the boundaries defined by adjacent walls thereto forming a wall for an adjacent container having an opposed wall thereof provided with a plurality of notches located in the marginal edges adjacent the open mouth portion of the opposed wall and a plurality of holes passing through the opposed wall. The base of the adjacent container is provided with a plurality of holes. Tabs extend outwardly from the opposed wall, serving as handles for the apparatus when mounted in sliding fashion to a vertical drawer receiving opening in a motor vehicle.

Abstract: An ash tray comprising a housing having a passageway on the upper end thereof communicating with the interior of the housing, with support means operatively associated with the housing for supporting thereon a cigarette or cigar with its lighted end adjacent to the passageway. A fan is mounted within the housing so constructed and arranged as to create a draft of air through the passageway in a downward direction, and smoke detector means is operatively connected to the fan and contained within the housing, with the smoke detector means adapted to detect the presence of smoke adjacent the passageway so as to obtain electrical energization of the fan such that smoke from the lighted cigarette or cigar is carried into the housing by the draft of air created by the fan. A purifier filter is mounted in the housing between the fan and the passageway so as to obtain a filtering of the smoke prior to the air exiting from the housing.

Abstract: An ashtray and cigarette box including an adjustable timer cooperating with a snuffing out cover and an audible alarm which alerts the user if the cover has not been closed after a preselected interval of time.

A removable metal cover may be latched in place to close the open end of the container, the cover having an ashtray and cigarette holding grooves formed therein.

Abstract: A device for filtering the smoke commonly associated with cigarettes and cigars includes an ashtray which supports a shroud for confining the smoke. The shroud in turn supports a motorized fan which creates a flow of air to carry the smoke through a filter. A motor for driving the fan is removed from the flow of air to prevent contamination of the motor by the smoke fumes. An elongated filter and a cylindrical filter are both provided with cartridge configurations to facilitate the removal and replacement of the filters. An absorbent material is impregnated with a perfume to enhance the fragrance of the flow of air through the device.
