Continuously clean and ash-free ashtray for a motor vehicle, smoke extractor device for purifying the air in the passenger compartment of the vehicle

摘要

Current ashtrays in motor vehicles are small and devoid of their own emptying facilities and therefore frequently full, particularly in the case of chain smokers. Passengers have to put up with the smell of cold ash and clouds of smoke. In addition, the ashtrays are frequently emptied at motorway service stations and in car parks or even in forests (woods). The use of an ashtray which ensures environmentally friendly disposal of the cold ash, the tobacco residues and nub ends and, at the same time, overcomes the problem of troublesome smoke by means of an electric mini vacuum cleaner which is installed in the engine cavity. The use of the smoke extractor device, driven by the motor of the vacuum cleaner, ensures that the air in the passenger compartment of the vehicle is clean and, at the same time, eliminates dangerous passive smoking.
