Ashtray with light show

Abstract

A transparent ashtray is supported above a reflector having an illumination source mounted on it. An enclosure provides an open top for receiving the ashtray. The ashtray and the reflector each have downwardly convergent sides with the reflector fitting tightly into an opening in the open top of the enclosure. The ashtray has an outwardly extending peripheral lip adapted for resting in contact with the open top. The downwardly convergent sides of the ashtray rest in contact with the downwardly convergent sides of the reflector. A color wheel may be used to provide a dynamic light display projected upwardly through the ashtray.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . An ashtray apparatus comprising: a transparent tray adapted for receiving ashes from a burning object, the tray supported above a reflector having a means for illumination mounted adjacent thereto; and an enclosure having an open top surface adapted for receiving the tray. reflector and illumination means; the tray and the reflector, each adapted with downwardly convergent sides, the reflector fitting tightly into an opening in the open top and suspended therefrom, the tray providing an outwardly extending peripheral lip adapted for resting in contact with the open top surface, the downwardly convergent sides of the tray resting in contact with the downwardly convergent sides of the reflector.  
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising a color wheel mounted on a motor shaft, the color wheel positioned between the illumination means and the tray whereby light from the illumination means is transmitted through the color wheel and the tray upwardly.  
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising an incense holder mounted on a wire supported by the enclosure in a position above the tray.
