The ashtray is pivotally mounted to the holder and includes a weight which is effective, should the holder inadvertently be moved to a non-upright position, to cause the ash receptacle to pivot and to remain in an upright position, thereby preventing spilling out of the contents of the ash receptacle.

Abstract: Known conventional cigarette packs, especially those with a hinge-lid box (10), an inner blank (29) made of tin-foil and possibly an outer wrapping made of plastics foil, are not suitable for disposing of smoked cigarettes (waste-cigarettes 48). It is felt to be undesirable that smoked cigarettes be thrown away individually. This is especially true for "artificial cigarettes" which have recently appeared on the market. In order to achieve an improved waste-disposal, the present cigarette pack, especially as regards its embodiment with a hinge-lid box (10), is provided with a waste compartment (47) for holding waste-cigarettes (48). Park of the inner blank (28), namely its rear-wall (30), forms a partition between the waste compartment (47) and a cigarette compartment (46). Smoked cigarettes are reinserted into the pack through an insert-opening (54).

Abstract: The ashtray of this invention comprises a folded member having a substantially V-shaped cross-section formed by two panels with a common side. The adjoining sides of the two panels contiguous to the common side are adapted for contact with a supporting surface to support the panels thereon in an upright position, the two sides defining the bottom side of the ashtray. The two panels then define an angular space there between, the angular space having an apical portion near the common side of the panels. The ashtray further comprises an upper member connected to the two panels for supporting cigarettes or cigars in substantially horizontal positions. The upper member is spaced apart from the common side of the panels to allow the lighted ends of cigarettes or cigars to protrude into the apical portion and to allow ashes from such lighted ends to fall through the apical portion towards the bottom side of the ashtray.

Abstract: A cigarette package comprises a body 20. The body includes a plurality of bores 26 which are divided by a membrane 32 into a cigarette containing chamber 34 and a cigarette butt receiving chamber 36. Each chamber 34 contains an unsmoked cigarette 6. When a butt 10 is pushed into a butt receiving chamber 36, it engages and pushes an unsmoked cigarette 6 up past the top surface 28 of body 20 to allow that cigarette to be manually removed. This discourages littering of cigarette butts 10. Alternatively, body 20 can be formed so that each cigarette 6 is movable without having to store cigarette butt 10 in one of the chambers 36.
