View Patent ↗A disposal unit for discarded smoking products has, a lower tubular section mounted on a base, an upper tubular section with an interior partition to form a closed-bottom receptacle for the discarded smoking products, a removable cap covering an open end of the upper tubular section, and the cap and tubular sections are detachable from one another for emptying the receptacle.
1. A disposal unit for discarded smoking products comprising:
a tubular extension extending from a wide base, wherein the tubular extension is divided into tubular sections;
an upper tubular section has an interior partition to form a closed-bottom receptacle for the discarded smoking products;
one or more inlets for the receptacle provided by one or more closed end slots, wherein a corresponding tubular side wall of the upper tubular section remains unshaped and in its original form to comprise a periphery of each of the one or more closed end slots;
a removable cap covers an open end of the upper tubular section; and
the cap and tubular sections are detachable from one another for emptying the receptacle.
2. The disposal unit of claim 1 , wherein the tubular extension is joined to the base by a bracket inside the tubular extension.
3. The disposal unit of claim 1 , wherein an interior of the tubular extension forms a weight-receiving chamber adjacent to the base.
4. The disposal unit of claim 1 , wherein the upper tubular section assembles to another tubular section by encircling a coupling tube section that fits within an internal circumference of the corresponding side wall of the upper tubular section, and the coupling tube section detachably fits inside the upper tubular section.
5. The disposal unit of claim 1 , wherein the partition is a plate having a circumferential flange secured to an internal surface of the corresponding side wall of the upper tubular section.
6. The disposal unit of claim 1 , wherein the upper tubular section assembles to another tubular section by encircling a coupling tube section that fits within an internal circumference of the corresponding side wall of the upper tubular section, the coupling tube section detachably fits inside the upper tubular section, and the partition is spaced from the coupling tube section.
7. The disposal unit of claim 1 , wherein the removable cap has a coupling tube section that fits within an open end of the corresponding side wall of the upper tubular section, and the inlets are spaced from the open end of the upper tubular section.
8. The disposal unit of claim 1 , wherein the removable cap has a bonnet bridging across the open end of the upper tubular section, and the removable cap has a coupling tube section that fits within an internal circumference of the corresponding side wall of the upper tubular section.
9. The disposal unit of claim 1 , further comprising:
an interior snuffing surface behind each of the one or more inlets of the receptacle.
10. The disposal unit of claim 1 , further comprising:
a tube section of smaller circumference than the upper tubular section, said tube section providing an interior cigarette snuffing surface behind each of the one or more inlets of the receptacle.
