An ash tray is characterized as having an upwardly opening ash receiver receiving chamber circumscribed by a rim shaped to define a slot sized and arranged to removably, frictionally grip a butt end of a cigarette and to position such cigarette to upstand from within the slot with its ash and arranged to overlie the chamber. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION An improved ash tray formed in accordance with the preferred form of the present invention is designated as 10 and shown in FIGS.
1 and 2 as comprising a base wall 12 and a rim 14, which is preferably formed integrally with the periphery of the base wall.
It will be understood that base wall 12 and rim 14 cooperate to define an upwardly opening ash receiving chamber 16, whereas rim 14 serves to define an upwardly opening endless shallow slot 18, which circumscribes the chamber and serves to provide an improved support for one or more cigarettes 20.
For purposes of reference, cigarette 20 is considered as being characterized as including a butt or filter end portion 20a and an ash or consumable end portion 20b.
More specifically, rim 14 is shown in FIG.
2 as being of a generally "Y" shaped configuration and as including a base portion 22, which is joined to the periphery of and upstands vertically above base wall 12, and concentrically arranged relatively inner and outer leg or rim portions 24 and 26, respectively, which are joined to and upstand vertically above base portion 22.
As will be apparent from viewing FIG.
2, base portion 22 and inner leg 24 cooperate to define a vertical boundary wall surface 16a of chamber 16, whereas base portion wall surface 22a and facing leg portion wall surfaces 24a and 26a cooperate to bound slot 18.
In accordance with the present invention, the width of slot 18 is such as to permit facing surfaces 24a and 26a to removably, frictionally grip cigarette butt end 20a to an extent sufficient to support cigarette 20 to vertically upstand from within the slot.
However, the spacing or distance between facing surfaces 24a and 26 should be in excess of that which would lead to excessive deformation of cigarette butt end 20a and/or cause the cigarette to collapse or pull apart, while being inserted or removed from the slot.
Further, the present invention contemplates that slot 18 should be inclined through an angle .
alpha.
relative to the vertical and arranged to extend upwardly and inwardly relative to chamber 16 in the manner best shown in FIG
