Ashtray for dashboard mounting - has hinged tray to tip ash into airtight container

摘要

A dashboard mounted ashtray for a car has a front section swivelled on a container section about a horizontal axis. To empty the front tray the section is swivelled and the contents tipped into the airtight rear section. The fitting allows the driver to dispose of lighted cigarette ends without danger of fire and without having to loose driving attention by stubbing out the end. The airtight container snuffs out the ends and prevents fumes from entering the car. A simple catch empties the container.
