Abstract

An ash tray consisting of three containers, embedded in one another. The intermediate container is held spacedly above the centrally-bored bottom wall of the outer container, by frictional interengagement of the side walls thereof, whereby ventilation is facilitated between the walls of these latter two containers. There is a plurality of small, cigarette-engaging compartments between the inner and intermediate containers. The top edge portion of the inner container supports an upturned, radially-inturned open ring having a few radial channels, for supporting lighted cigarettes. The cigarettes may be extinguished by engagement in one of the small compartments.
