Pocket ashtray

A portable ashtray comprising a flexible, heat-resistant, laminated material defined by its shape to provide a cover, a front surface and a back surface having lateral flaps extending therefrom, said flaps being folded over and affixed to said front surface to form a dihedral receptacle with an aperture for receiving refuse at one end and side edges formed at the juncture of said front and back surfaces adjacent to said aperture and extending to a closed end, wherein:

• said material is die-cut as one piece and comprises cardboard which is foil coated on one side, said material being folded to form said receptacle with said cardboard on the outside of said receptacle,
• two protrusions are provided by unaffixed portions of said lateral flaps and said cover may be folded and inserted under said unaffixed portions to close said aperture,
• curved contours in said material enable said receptacle to provide a cavity that is expandable to accommodate increasing refuse volume,
• beads formed along fold lines of said front and back surfaces abut internal edges of said material, and
• curved grooves in said material allow the cover to be folded back for extending to a table top surface and used as a supporting leg.
