HOWARD N. JONES, OF PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND, ASSIGNOR, BY DIRECT AND MESNE ASSIGNMENTS, '1'0 UNIVERSAL SAFETY ASH TRAY COMPANY INC., 01 PROVIDENCE, RHODE'ISLAND, CORIORATIQN OF RHODE ISLAND.
CIGARETTE-EXTINGUISHING DEVICE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 22, 1921.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HOWARD N. Jones, a citizen of the United States, residing at Providence, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cigarette-Extinguishing Devices, of which the following is a speclfication.
This invention relates to a cigarette-extinguishing device, and has for its object to provide a simple and inexpensive device of this character, which may serve as a table ornament and also as a means for readily extinguishing alighted cigarette by simply depositin its lighted end thereinto.
A further ob ect of the invention is to provide means whereby the cigarette may be readily ejected from the holder after the fire has been extinguished therefrom.
The nature and advantages of the invention will be better understood when the following detail description is taken in connection with the accompan ing drawings, the invention residing in t e combination and arrangement of parts as claimed.
In the drawings forming part of this specification, like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views and wherein r Figure 1 is an elevation partly in section illustrating my improved combined ash-tray and cigarette-extinguishin device.
Fig. 2 is a top view of t e device.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the slidable tubular member detached, into which the lighted end of a cigarette may be placed.
As is well known by cigarette smokers a lighted cigarette upon being laid down in a tray or elsewhere, continues to burn until the whole is consumed which often is very objectionable, particularly to the nonsmokers in the room.
It is also well known that considerable manipulation is usually re uired in order to extinguish the lighted en of a cigarette. Therefore it is found desirable to provide means whereby a cigarette may be readily extinguished without effort on the part of the smoker, which result has been accomplished b my simple device, which at once extinguis es the fire upon placing the lighted end of the cigarette thereinto.
The following is a detailed descri tion of one means by which this extinguis fect may be readily accomplished Withreference to the drawings, 10 designates an ordinary ash-tray which may be made in any suitable, ornamental form and whlchalso serves as a base for my cigaretteextinguishing device.
This device comprises essentially a central post 11' which is screwed into or otherwise fixed in the base 10, and on this post I have slidably mounted a tubular member 12 which is normally supported by means of the spring 13 so that its upper end will stand a substantial distance above that of the post, thereby providin a receptacle or socket into which the lig ted end of the cigarette may be placed.
It is found in practice that by simply ining efsorting the lighted end of a cigarette into this receptacle the fire on this end becomes at once choked .or' smothered and so extinguished.
After the cigarette has topped burning it is only necessary to slide the tubular member downwardly on the post 11, which ac tion causes the post to eject the cigarette making room for the reception of another and in this way cigarettes may be extinguished one after another as soon as finished by the user.
In some instances it is found desirable to provide a.casing or housing for the spring 13, which is accomplished by attachmg a short tubular member 14 to the base, which extends up over and incloses the spring as illustrated.
The device is extremely sim 1e and inexpensive in construction and e ective in its operation inasmuch as the li hted end of a clgarette may be readil posltioned therein, which operation uick y chokes, smothers and extinguishes t e same without further attention on the part of the user; after which it is onlynecessary to slide the tubular member 12 downwardl on its post to at once eject the extinguished cigarette permitting it to fall into the tray beneath after which the tube automatically returns under action of the spring 13 into the position to receive another and repeat the operation.
The foregomg description is. directed solel toward the construction illustrated, but desire it to be understood that I reserve the privilege of resorting to all the mechanical changes to which the device is susceptible, the invention being defined and limited only by the terms of the appended claims.
I claim:
1. A cigarette-extinguishing device comprising a base having a fixed upstanding post, a tubular member slidably mounted on said post, said tube being supported with its upper end normally standing a substantial distance above the upper end of said post forming a receptacle into which the lighted end of a cigarette may be positioned and extinguished, said tube being slidable downward on said post to eject the cigarette therefrom.
2. A -cigarette-extinguishing device comprising a base having a fixed upstanding post, a tubular member slidably mounted on said post, a spring acting on said tube to support it with its upper end normally a substantial distance above that of said post roviding a receptacle into which the ighted end of a cigarette may be positioned and extinguished, said tube being adapted to be slid downwardly on said post to eject the cigarette therefrom and to be automatically returned to normal by said spring, and a housing for said s ring.
In testimony whereof afiix my si ature.
HOWARD N. JO ES.
