Abstract

The vacuum ashtray consists of a series of elements such as the ashtray, the tube or conduit for residues, the residues deposit, the outer casing of the residues deposit and the vacuum motor with its corresponding outer housing. The ashtray comprises several parts. One of said parts is located inside the ashtray, said part being a plate with several holes to draw in smoke, gases and larger particles. It can be taken out frontally or vertically. The vacuum system is actuated from the ashtray itself by means of a lamella contact or by exerting pressure on a button. The ashtray may or may not be provided with a lid. A tube or conduit extends from the vacuum ashtray towards the deposit. The residues suctioned by the system circulate through said tube or conduit. The residues deposit receives suctioned residues. Said deposit includes several parts such as filters, admission holes with a pivoting lid and a vacuum hole that is connected to the vacuum motor. The deposit is located inside a casing having a top lid enabling removal thereof for emptying and cleaning purposes. The system also has a conventional vacuum kit and a variable power motor.

Description

 VACUUM CLEANER

The present invention refers to a suction system, whose mouth or absorption terminal is an ashtray, achieving through its operation the elimination of fumes and gases (stale environments), as well as the absorption of cigarette butts, ashes and other particles, through of the holes of the perforated base of the cement, being conducted through the ducts of this system to the residual deposit.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

No system with the characteristics set forth in this documentation is known to me, by my filed.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The vacuum ashtray to which we refer, consists of the following parts: the ashtray inside which we find a perforated base, with holes of different proportions Fig. 1/6 (2), Fig. 2/6 (2); the tube or conduit through which gases and various particles are absorbed Fig. 4/6 (9), Fig. 2/6 (5); the residual tank Fig. 3/6 (1), where they end their journey and the absorption motor, which produces the aspiration.

This system can consist of one or several mouths or suction terminals (ashtrays). These ashtrays have a perforated plate, with several holes in its inner base and is divided into two zones, one with holes of small proportions, for the aspiration of fumes, gases and ashes and another with two holes of greater dimensions, for the absorption of butts and other particles of more considerable size. From the suction terminals (ashtrays), the resulting suction pipes or ducts depart, through which and continuing a residual deposit path.

The residual deposit consists of a container with a variable shape and therefore adaptable to a possible existing hole or preconceived for its location, inside which we will find two porous filters Fig. 3/6 (6), Fig. 5 / 6 (2), and metal mesh through which the fumes and gases would pass outwards, both through the cover of the outer shell of the residual tank Fig. 4/6 (5), and through the back of the housing of the passenger compartment of the suction motor Fig. 4/6 (7), the particles and residues aspirated by the system being inside the tank. This waste can be extracted manually and very simply because it is the vertical removable tank. At the same time the residual tank filters must be replaced every certain period of time or they should be cleaned. One of the filters is located on the tank itself and as a cover and supported on the walls of the same Fig. 3/6 (6); and the other one is located between the tank and the inner wall of the outer shell of the tank and just in front of the suction nozzle that directly connects with the vane system of the vacuum motor, and will have the same diameter Fig. 5/6 (two). This has a projection or a kind of washer that will act as a stop against the inner part of the wall of the outer shell of the residual tank, being completely fixed in its place of location once the residual tank has been introduced after its installation. In this tank, we can see two holes, facing each other, that will coincide exactly with those in the outer shell of the residual tank and that would correspond; one at the arrival of the residual particles, by means of the residual tube or conduit Fig. 3/6 (2); and the other would correspond to the one that communicates the inside of the tank, with the suction motor blade system Fig. 3/6 (3). In this case the filter is located and in the other hole we will find towards the inside of the tank a washer with pivot cover that articulates in its upper part Fig. 5/6 (1), this will move towards the inside the tank when absorption by the suction force of the system occurs, and it will go down to its vertical position acting as a cover of the residual duct, in order to avoid the recoil of gases and odors, when the system is turned off The engine that will drive the suction system would be the one normally used by conventional suction systems, absorbing the energy of the vehicle's own electrical system or medium in which it was installed.

This system will have as an option to take into account a small drive system for varying suction power, as well as that used in other means or systems, such as fans, etc.

DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

The ashtray vacuum cleaner in question, consists of a set of elements whose union gives rise to the mentioned system. This consists of the following parts; on the one hand the ashtray or ashtrays Fig. 1/6 and Fig. 2/6, whose shapes and finishes can be variable (different), inside which a perforated plate divided into two zones Fig. 1 / is located as a base 6 (2) and Fig. 2/6 (2), one with small perforations Fig. 1/6 (4) and Fig. 1/6 (4) and another with two holes larger dimensions Fig. 1/6 (3) and Fig. 2/6 (3), in order to absorb smoke, odors and larger particles, such as ashes, cigarette butts, etc. In the lower part of the ashtray there is a hole Fig. 1/6 (6) and Fig. 2/6 (6), from which the residual tube or conduit, Fig. 2/6 (5) and Fig. 4 / 6 (9), through which the gases and particles absorbed by the system will travel, until it is finished in the residual tank Fig. 3/6 (1).

The residual tank, is formed by a box or housing of variable form Fig. 4/6 (1), depending on the hole where it will be located, which will serve as a cabin for the residual tank Fig. 3/6 (1), this being a bucket adjustable to the housing inside and removable vertically, having as a cover and supported on the four edges of the four walls of the bucket, a metal mesh filter Fig. 3/6 (6) and on which we will find the cover of the outer housing Fig. 4/6 (4), with a curled area Fig. 4/6 (5), for the extraction of gases and fumes. Both in the residual tank, and in the outer shell, we find two holes facing each other, one the residual particle receiver Fig. 3/6 (2) and Fig. 4/6 (2) that has an articulated lid Fig .5 / 6 (1), being therefore foldable and the other connecting to the vacuum motor blade system Fig. 3/6 (3) and Fig. 4/6 (3) in which it is located or a round Fig.5 / 6 (2) filter of the same dimensions or diameter as the circumference formed by the blades of the system is crimped, this being the same as the other filter of metallic material. The motor of the suction system will be similar to that used in conventional suction systems, and this will have the necessary dimensions for power capacity and location space and will in some cases consist of a power variation system, in order to obtain a smaller or larger suction nut.

This system has a k of accessories Fig. 6/6, to be used as a conventional vacuum cleaner.

The materials with which this system will be built or made will be flame retardant.

Claims

1. Vacuum cleaner, characterized by the fact that the cement itself or the absorption mouth of the suction system can be removable vertically Fig. 1/6, the suction system being activated at the moment in which we proceed to the opening of the ashtray lid Fig. 1/6 (5), by means of a 5 button or lamella contact system similar to that used for interior lighting in vehicles with the doors opening Fig. 1/6 (9) and Fig .2 / 6 (9); the system stops working when the lid is closed when this button is pressed or when the metal foils are made contact.
