State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ash-Trays, of which the following is a specification.

-My invention relates to improvements in ash. trays and has for its object the provision of an improved construction of this character, which is simple and efficient in op.-

' 1 eration and capable of folding intocompact s ace.

Other objects will'appear hereinafter. The invention consists in the combinations and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed. r

The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings forming a part which, V

Figure 1 is a perspective View of an ash tray embodying the invention,

of this specification, and in The preferred form of construction illustrated in the drawings comprises a body 5, preferably made of sheet metal, or the like, and having a plurality of grooves 6 extending transversely across said body from the front to the rear edge thereof-and each adapted to receive a cigar, or the like. Each of the grooves 6 is provided with a finger opening 7 properly distanced from the front edge of the body and adapted to facilitate the removal of cigars from said grooves. An ash trough 8 is hinged at 9 to the front edge of the body 5 and is adapted to fold on to the top of said body as indicated. A trough 9 is provided at one end with a hinged door 9 to facilitate emptying the ashes therefrom, and the inner wall of said trough is provided with serrations 10 adapted to fit under the grooves in body 5, as shown.
