Ashtrays made of crystal, ceramics, wood and glass products broke through the usual rigid style and became popular this year. Gorgeous colors, dynamic pictures and unique creativity in modeling make it very fashionable and popular. The design is more humanized. In the design of ashtray, this year is closer to humanistic care. Some are as small and exquisite as cigarette cases, which can be put at home as exquisite as decorations, or can be put in your pocket for easy carrying. In addition to traditional ashtrays, many ashtrays are designed to help you get rid of some bad habits. Smokers have the habit of throwing cigarette ash, which affects cleanliness and hygiene.

They are made of glass and crystal, with round shapes and small cigarette mouths. The picture is like a kaleidoscope, with lovely girls, swaying flowers and funny cartoon images, which makes people full of petty bourgeoisie and can't put it down. Even if they are not used as ashtrays, they are very pleasant decorations at home. The industry says that the design of ashtrays should not be grandstanding.

The director of Li Jianmin Tobacco Monopoly Bureau manufactured the first batch of ashtrays in the early19th century. In 1950s, ashtrays began to be printed with patterns of flowers, animals and trademarks, which were handicrafts at that time. In 1970s, due to the development of plastic industry, plastic ashtrays became popular. In the 1980s, it became popular to cover ceramic ashtrays with iron inside and pottery outside. The edge of the ashtray is inlaid with aluminum sheets, which can be rotated by pressing with your fingers, making it convenient for cigarette butts to fall into the ashtray. Because health and safety are widely accepted. In the 1990s, glass jars became popular. The jar has three or four mouths for cigarettes. They are both cheap and practical.

The design of the new ashtray also incorporates more scientific and technological content. Recently, a kind of fireproof ashtray has become popular in Japan. It is a newly developed memory metal ashtray in Japan, which can automatically extinguish cigarettes placed next to the ashtray. This ashtray uses memory metal to deform with temperature. When the cigarette burns to a certain extent, the outer end of the horizontal metal sheet will automatically lift, so that the cigarette end will fall into the ashtray obliquely. This kind of ashtray can effectively avoid fires caused by smokers forgetting to put out cigarettes, and is deeply loved by local smokers. As we all know, the ashtray has no cover, and when it shakes, the ash is everywhere, which is not sanitary and ideal. The utility model provides a semi-automatic ashtray device, which consists of an ashtray, a cover plate and rivets, and is characterized in that a metal arc cover plate is arranged on the upper arc surface of the ashtray, and lugs are arranged on both sides of the cover plate, and the lugs are connected with the wall surfaces on both sides of the ashtray through rivets.

Crystal ashtray

Because the crystal ashtray is a kind of thing with special magnetic field, it can absorb all bad negative energy and release positive energy. After the crystal ashtray absorbs too much negative energy, its own energy will gradually weaken until it disappears. The crystal ashtray needs to be cleaned regularly, usually in the following ways: 1, let the crystal ashtray enjoy a moonlight bath on a bright moonlight night; 2. Use amethyst cave, topaz cave, cornucopia, crystal string, large crystal column, etc. 3. Use high-quality broken crystal about 1 kg, store it in a clean (ceramic or glass) plate after cleaning and drying, and put the crystal ashtray that needs to be purified on it, and the effect will be better after a long time.

(2) However, if the chromogen of the crystal ashtray contains copper and iron, it is not suitable for this cleaning method. Because these substances are exposed to the sun for a long time, they will produce oxidation and make the crystals fade. Chromatograms containing copper and iron include red or purple crystals. Moonlight and starlight morning illumination method: On the full moon night of the 15th lunar month, it is a good time to bask in the stone because of the particularly strong moonlight that night.

In addition, you can also put the spar on the terrace in a clear starry night to absorb the essence of starlight, thus purifying the crystal ashtray. In addition, in addition to the full moon night, you can also choose a few days before and after the full moon, which is also suitable for this method of drying stones. Note: If the crystal ashtray is purple or red, please remember that the crystal must be taken back before noon the next day, otherwise the strong sunlight during the day will affect the pigment of the crystal and make it fade.
