CIGAR-HOLDER AND ASH-RECEIVER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July ti, T915.

Application filed August 1, 1914. Serial No. 854,512.

supporting position on the holder, to hold the cigars against accidental displacement by gusts of wind or other causes especially when the device is used out of doors, and to permit of readily knocking off the cigar ashes and causing the same to drop into a receptacle which can be conveniently emptied of its contents whenever it is desirable to do so.

Another object is to provide a cigar cuttor for cutting off the cigar points and All:

dropping the cut-off portions into the receiving receptacle, and to provide means for readily disposing of the burned matches used for lighting the cigars.

In order to accomplish the desired result use is made of a receiving receptacle on which is hinged a hood provided with a perforate cover or bottom overlying the said receptacle when the hood is in closed posl-v tion, and cigar rests held on the said hood and each adapted to support a cigar with the inner end, however, extending over the said perforate cover or bottom.

A practical. embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the cigar holder and ash receiver; Fig. 2 is a sectional side elevation of the same on the line 2-2 of Fig. 3; Fig. 3 is a sectional plan view of the same on the line 33 of Fig. 2; and Fig. 4 is a cross section of the cigar cutter, the section being taken on the line 44 of Fig. 3.

The base of the cigar holder and ash receiver is in the form of a receiving receptacle A open at the top and adapted to receive cigar ashes, the cut-ofl' tops of cigars and burned matches, as hereinafter more fully explained. The u er ed e of the re ceptacle A is connected y a hinge B witha hood C normally forming a cover for the receptacle A and adapted to be swung into open position to permit of cmptyingthe receptacle A of its contents whenever it is desirable to do so. The receptacle A is provided opposite the hinge B with a suitable locking device D for normally locking the hood C in closed position on top of the receptacle A. On the top of the hood C is mounted a match holder or a box E of any approved construction.

The hood C is provided in its lower portion with a perforate cover or bottom F,

preferably in the form of wire netting ex-' tending across the top of the receptacle A at the time the hood C is in closed position, an in -.t center of the perforate cover F is erected'a post G, preferably in the form of a cylind r of wire netting to permit the user of the device to knock ofi the ashes from the butt end of the burning cigar and to allow the said ashes to drop through the perforate cover F, into the receptacle A.

From the lower portion of the hood C project outwardly a number of spaced and horizontally disposed cigar rests H of troughcigar rests H are preferably struck up from the material of the hood C to provide openings C in the sides of the hood C and above the rests H for the passage of the butt end of a cigar into the interior of the hood C, as indicated in Figs. 1 and 2. The bottom of each cigar rest H is approximately in the same horizontal plane as the perforate cover F so that the latter forms practically a continuation of the several cigar rests H to support the inner portions of the cigars held on the rests H at the time. When the device is set on a table or other support and the hood C is locked in closed position then a number of burning cigars can be placed on the several rests H by a number of smokers seated at the table, and each smoker can readily knock off the ashes either by contacting the same with the perforate cover F or the post G, the ashes in either case dropping down into the receptacle A.

On one side of the receptacle A is arranged a cigar cutter l, of any approved construction, but so arrange d that the cutoff tips of the cigars drop into the receptacle A. The side of the receptacle A is further provided with an opening J through which burned matches may be passed into the receptacle A.

. and composed of comparatively few parts, not liable to get out of order easily.

said Having thus described my invention, 1 claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. A cigar holder and ash receiver, comprising a receptacle, a cover hinged on the receptacle and adapted to swing into open or closed position, the cover having a netting extending across the top of the said receptacle, and a series of radially disposed cigar rests on the said cover and extending outward beyond the edge of the cover, each cigar rest being adapted to support a cigar, the bottoms of the said cigar rests being approximately on the same level as the said netting so that the latter forms a continuation of the said cigar rests.

2. A cigar holder and ash receiver, comprising a receptacle, a cover for the said receptacle having a netting extending across the top of the said receptacle, a seriesof radially disposed cigar rests extending outwardly from the said cover, each for supporting a ci ar, and a central perforate post erected on t fesaid netting.

-' 3. A cigar holder and ash receiver, commesses prising an ash receptacle, a hood hinged to the top of the said ash receptacle and provided at its bottom with a netting overlying the said ash tray, and a cigar rest pr0- jecting from the side ofwthe hood at an open: ing in the hood and above the said netting to support a cigar and to allow the cigar ashesto drop through the netting into the said receptacle.

4:. A cigar holder and ash receiver, comprising an ash receptacle, and a hood hinged to the top'of the said ash receptacle and provided at its side with cigar'rests projecting outwardly and struck up from the hood material to form openings in the side of the hood above the cigar rests for the passage of the butt ends of the cigars into the interior of the hood.

5. A'cigar holder and ash receiver, comprising an ash receptacle, a hood hinged to the top of the-said ash receptacle and provided at its side with cigar rests projecting outwardly and struck up from the hood material to form openings in the side of the hood above the cigar rests for the passage of the butt ends of the cigars into the interior of the hood, and a wire netting secured in the lower portion of the said hood and forming an extension for the said cigar rests.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
