Abstract:
A cigarette holder is supported on a framework which is detachably mounted in an ashtray. The holder is an elongated, hollow, cylindrical tube, mounted substantially vertically above the ashtray and having an open upper end and an open lower end. To extinguish combustion the upper end of a counterweighted pivoted arm halts advance of a cigarette within the lower end of the tube. The arm tip is selectively movable from snuffing position in the tube, to retarding position below the tube to inactive position. To retard combustion an annular, circular flange may also extend inwardly around the open lower end to restrain the cigarette paper while the protruding tip burns slowly.
