Disposable ash container

Abstract

A newly designed disposable ash container comprising: a base panel, a back panel, two side panels, a top panel and a open panel made from a blank of sheet material of which the inside of the container is of a noncombustible material for receiving and retaining hot embers and ash and the outside being conducive to advertising matter which is foldable for consumer packaging and easy storage and when opened to a usable position provides a substantial side opening in which to deposit ash from a fireplace and stove having an apron to catch falling ash and to cooperate in an air tight closing of the open panel securing ash for safe and clean disposal.

Having thus described the invention, what I claimed as new and desired to be secured by letters patent is as follows:  
     
         1 . A disposable ash container for receiving and retaining ash made from a blank of sheet material of which at least the inside of said disposable ash container is a noncombustible material and the outside of said disposable ash container conducive to advertising mater comprising a top panel integral with two side panels which are in turn integral with portions which are overlapped and joined to form a base panel and panel extensions joined to form a back panel directly opposite a open front panel, said base panel extending beyond said top panel at said open front panel end, having said two side panels of substantially the same length slant upward to be of substantially the same length as said top panel, said base panel able to support said disposable ash container in an open position on a surface, said two side panels, said top panel, and said base panel having folding creases providing a folding means for said disposable ash container to be in a collapsed position, said two side panels, said top panel, and said base panel having said folding creases providing an unfolding means for opening said ash container from a collapsed position so as to be in a usable position, said two side panels, said top panel, and said base panel having said folding creases providing a substantially air tight closing means for said open front panel whereby ash is retained in said disposable ash container for safe and clean disposal.
