Abstract
An ash tray for vehicle having outer and inner casings provided with a protector fitted on the outer casing, which protector can be in co-operation with the inner casing under the actuation of a spring, so as to cover the front of the instrument panel by stopping the outward movement thereof in an intermediate position of the inner casing. Consequently, the front of the instrument panel can be protected from burning or fire. Moreover, the protector does not at all obstruct the removal of accumulated butts when cleaning the inner casing.
