Abstract:
An ashtray device (1) for collecting cigarette or cigar ash and butts, the device comprising a separation mechanism (2) for separating the ash from the butts, and at least two containers (10, 11), wherein a first container (10) is positioned so as to receive the butts and a second container (11) is positioned so as to receive the ash.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a self closing valve (1-3, 5-6) for an opening in a container for refuse. The valve comprises a rocker (1-3) with two blades (1-2) that may be pivoted around a rocker carrier (5). The rocker is balanced such that it, when unloaded, tends towards a position where the first blade (1) seals the opening. The rocker is used to seal a ash container and is opened when a cigarette butt is put in the opening of the ash container. The second blade is provided with an angle stop (3) that limits the maximum angular movement of the rocker from its unloaded position, and the angle stop (3) comprises at least one point that stops the angular movement of the rocker at maximum extent. Sticky substances tend to build up on the rocker, which without the pointy angle stop could cause the rocker to get stuck in an open state due to adhesion. With the pointy angles stop (3), the adhesive action becomes small, such that the rocker easily returns to a closed state. In an advantageous embodiment, the angle stop (3) during use extends upwards, and then tends to slow down the motion of built up layers of particles, such that the rocker remains balanced. It then returns to a closed state even after such a build up of particles on the two blades of the rocker.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a bag design to receiving a by-product of a primary product, the bag comprising: a receptacle forming at least one interior compartment and formed from a unitary sheet, wherein an opening is formed to the at least one interior compartment, and a plurality of folding creases are disposed distal to the opening; an adhesive strip disposed on the exterior surface of the rear panel; a first portion of a locking mechanism disposed below the folding creases on the exterior surface of the front panel; a second portion of a locking mechanism disposed distal to the opening on the exterior surface of the rear panel and substantially aligned with the first portion of the locking mechanism.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a sealing device connected to a box (1) intended to be used for keeping waste (2) of burned-out material such as for example firewood, pellets, paper from a fire-place, said box (1) encloses at least one cavity (3) with walls (4) comprising at least one opening (5), used for charging waste (2) gathered in the fireplace by aid of a shovel (6). The back portion (8) of said shovel (6) comprises a cover or lid (7), which is tightly connectable to the outside (9) of one wall (4) around the opening (5) to plug up the same, when the main part of the shovel (6) is inserted in through the opening (5) through the cavity (3), whereby the outside (18) of the lid (7) is applied a force by aid of at least one mountings (15) consisting of an elongated body (16), which is pivotally mounted around an axis (17) in an anchoring point (31), said elongated body (16) comprising a male portion (19) /female portion (20) in order to fit together with the elongated body (16) to a female portion (20) /male portion (19) located there in a predetermined position (21).
