C. A. GREENE ASH TRAY MOUNING Filed May 11. 1925 75267 A Arron/vers Patented F eb. 26, 1924.
UNTED STATES CHARLES A. GREENE, OE NEW YORK, N. Y.
ASH-TRAY MOUNTING.
Application filed May 11, 1923. Serial No. 638,351.
To all whom t may concern.'
Be it known that I, CHARLES A. GREENE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and 'State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Ash-Tray Mount-ing, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention has relation to a mounting for ash receptacles and aims for its principal object to produce an extremely simple and inexpensive device for associating an ash receptacle with a piano, cha-ir, table or other article of furniture, in order to positively insure against the accidental displacement. of the same or spilling of the contents.
As a further object the invention contemplates a mounting for ash receptacles which includes .an adjustable attaching member by means of which the. same may be regulated to cooperate with supporting members of various thicknesses and which are either horizontally or vertically disposed.
As a still further object the invention aims to provide a mounting which may be readily associated with or removed from the article which supports it.
With the above recited andother objects in view, the invention resides in the novel construction set forth in the following specica'tion, particularly pointed out in the ap pended claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, it being understood that the right is reserved to embodiments other than those actually illustrated herein to the full extent indicated by the general meaning of the terms in which the claims are expressed.
In the drawing- Figure 1 is a perspective view of an ash receptacle and mounting therefor applied to a vertically disposed supporting member.
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view therethrough.
Fig. 3 is a side view illustrating the receptacle and mounting applied to a horizontally disposed supporting member.
Fig. 4 is a sectional plan view taken approximately on the line 4 4 of Fig. 3.
Referring to the drawing by characters of reference, lodesignates an ash tray or ash receptacle and 11 a tray holder which is preferably constructed of sheet metal formed with marginal upstanding lugs 12 which prevent lateral displacement of the tray or vice.
receptacle and upon which holder the receptacle is adapted to be setJ between the lugs. OneV of the lugs 12 is provided with an inwardly directed rest 13 for a cigar or Acigarette which serves to prevent tipping or tilting of the receptacle beyond a predetermined angle.
the under side of the holder 1l by a rivet or other fastening element 16 whereby one of the tongues 14 depends vertically therefrom and the other tongue extends laterally and horizontally from the center thereof. Preferably the tongue 15 is provided with an offset portion 17 which is spaced the major portion of its length below the holder 11. The attaching member consists of a pair of relatively adjustable jaws 18 and 19 the confronting faces of which are provided with yieldable pads 20. One of the jaws 18 is formed with an S-shaped spring terminal 21 disposed at a right angle thereto and providing inner, outer andk intermediate leaves 22, 23 and 24. The leaves 22 and 24 are connected by a bight 25 and the leaves 23 and 24 by a bight 26. The other jaw 19 A pair of Vright angularly disposed tongues 14 and 15 are attached to is formed with a loop 27 which fits over the S-shaped spring terminal 21 of the jaw 18 whereby the same is frictionally maintained in its relatively adjusted relation to the jaw 18.
In use, the jaws 18 and 19 of the attaching member are clamped into engagement with the opposite sides of the supporting de- The yieldable pads of felt or other suitable material engage with the surfaces of the supporting device to prevent marring, scratching or other defacement thereof. In practice where the supporting device is vertically disposed, as for instance where the same consists of the end wall A of a piano keyboard, as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, the horizontal tongue 15 is inserted between the outer leaf 23 of the S-shaped spring and the loop 27 whereby the clamping jaws 18 and 19 depend vertically from the tongue and holder. The tension of the spring 21 is suicient to retain the tongue against displacement while at the same time preventing accidental relative separation of the clamping jaws 18. Where the receptacle is to be supported from a horizontally dis posed supporting device B, such as the arm of a chair, edge of a table, `or the like, the tongue 14 is inserted betweenthe leaves 22 and 24 as illustrated in Figure 3 whereby the clamping jaws 18 and 19 will be disposed in horizontal position. lt is of course understood that if desired the tongue le may be inserted between the leaf 23 and the loop 27. rlhe receptacle or tray l0 may be removed from the holder 11 by lifting upwardly on the side opposite from the side which underlies the inwardly projecting cigarette or cigar rest 13 for the purpose of emptying the same without removing the mounting'from the supporting device or removing the holder from the attaching member.
It will thus be seen that an extremely simple, inexpensive, yet eliicient mounting for receptacles of this character is provided which are readily adjustable and attachable to supporting devices of various thicknesses whether vertically or horizontally disposed.
I claim:
l. An ashtray mounting comprising a tray holder within which the tray is adapt'-, ed to set, an attaching member having relatively adjustable clamping and detachable means ot connection therebetween vfor associating the attaching member with the holder to dispose the clamping jaws in horizontally or vertically spaced relation with respect to the holder whereby the same may be respectively clamped into engagement for vertically and horizontally disposed supporting devices.
2. A mounting for receptacles comprising a receptacle holder having a vertically depending tongue and a horizontally disposed tongue, an attaching member having relatively adjustable clamping jaws, and means carried by the attaching member for receiving the tongues whereby the clamping jaws may be disposed in horizontally or vertically spaced relation to coact respectively with horizontally and vertically disposed supporting elements.
3. A mounting for receptacles comprising a receptacle holder having a vertically depending tongue and a horizontally disposed tongue, an attaching member having relatively adjustable clamping jaws, means carried by the attaching member for receiving the tongues whereby the clamping jaws may be disposed in horizontally or vertically spaced relation to coact respectively with horizon tally and vertically disposed supporting elements, and a common resilient means for retaining the aws in relatively adjusted positions and the tongues against accidental displacement.
4. A mounting :t'or receptacles comprising a receptacle holder having a vertically depending tongue and a horizontally disposed tongue, an attaching member having relatively adjustable clamping jaws, means carried by the attaching member for receiving the tongues whereby the clamping jaws may be disposed in horizontally or vertically spaced relation to coact respectively with horizontally and vertically disposed supporting elements, a common resilient means for retaining the aws in relatively adjusted positions and the tongues against accidental displacement, said means consisting of an S-shaped spring carried by and disposed at a right angle to one of the jaws, and a loop carried by the opposite jaw within which the S-shaped spring is fitted.
