RUSSELL A. SMITH, OF IVIINDEN CITY, MICHIGAN. ASSIGNOR- 'lO R. A. SIVIITI-I MANU- FACTURING (10., OF MINDEN CITY,
MICHIGAN.
A'UTOIWOBILE CUSPIDOR.
Application filed April 2, 1924.
T all whom it may concern.
' Be it known that I, RUSSELL A. SMIEll-I, a citizen of the United States, residing at Minden City, in the county of Sanilac and State of Michigan, have invented new and useful Improven'ients in Automobile Cuspidors, of which the following is a specification.
The object of this invention is the pro vision of a cuspidor for automobiles.
A further object is the production of a cuspidor for automobiles whose body com prises a casting of a particular and peculiar construction, the same being normally closed by a spring influenced cover operable to open position by slidable means arranged on the dash or instrument board of the automobile, and which body has its open bottom normally closed by a spring influenced door operable to open position by pressure upon a rod which is guided through the top flange of the body of the cuspidor.
IVith the above broadly stated objects in view and others which will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, reference is to be had to the drawings which accompany and which form part of this application.
In the drawings Figure 1 is a sectional view through a sufficient portion of an automobile to illustrate the application of my improvement thereon.
Figure 2 is a sectional view approximately on the line 22 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a sectional view on the line 38 of Figure 2.
Figure at is a sectional view approximately on the line 4t of Figure 3.
Figure 5 is a sectional view approximately on the line 5-5 of Figure 1.
In carrying out my invention I make use of a casting of a particular and peculiar formation, the said casting forming the body 1 of the cuspidor. The casting is in the nature of a hollow flared member having its widened upper edge formed with an outstanding flange 2 that rests on and is secured to the bottom board of the automobile 3 when the body is let through a suitable opening in the said floor.
The body 1 is formed on its outer face with spaced ribs at, the said ribs extending below the open bottom of the body being rounded to provide ears 5. Between these Serial No. 703,835.
cars there is journaled a shaft 6 that provides a bearing for spaced lugs 7 formed on the edge of a metal disk 8 that provides the bottom of the cuspidor. The disl: 8 has laterally extending arms 9 and 10 e'ach of which being formed with upstanding ears guided through the floor of the automobile and through a suitable opening in the flange 2 of the body. The rod has on its outer end a head 15. It will be apparent that pressure on the head will cause the disk 8 to be swung to open position, and that a release of such pressure will permit of the springs holding the disk tightly against the bot-tom of the body 1.
The cover for the cuspidor body is also in the nature of a disk and is indicated by the numeral 16. The cover is preferably formed with an annular flange 17 to be snugly received in the mouth of the body 1. The cover 16 has also cast therewith an outwardly extending arm 18 which passes through a notch 19 between the ribs 4 and is pivoted to the ribs, as at 20. On its outer end there is secured to the arm 18 a flexible element, preferably in the nature of a wire 21. This wire is guided around a curved wheel 22 journaled on the shaft 6 between the lugs 7. The wire 21 is also guided around one or more grooved wheels 23 arranged on the bottom of the automobile, and passes through a suitable opening therein and is directed over a grooved wheel 24 whose frame is fixed to the dash of the automobile. On the instrument board 25 of the automobile there is fixed a bearing sleeve 26. The outer face of the sleeve is flanged, as at 27. The sleeve receives therethrough a rod 28 whose outer end is headed, as at 29 and the end of the wire 21 is secured to the rod. The rod is notched, as at 30, and on the inner wall provided by the notch there is pivotally secured a dog 31 influenced outwardly by a spring IVhen the headed end of the rod is grasped so that the said rod is pulled outwardly through the sleeve a sutlicient distance to (all permit of the dog 31 being influenced outwardly by its spring 22 into contacting engagement with the flange 27 ot the sleeve,
the wire 21 will have been pulled sufiiciently to draw on the arm 18 to swing the cover 16 to open position. The dog, of course, holds the rod in outward position, and consequently holds the cover open. An inward pressure against the dog will permit of the rod being moved inwardly through the sleeve. On the arm extension 18 of the cover there is an enlargement in the nature of an apertured lug in which is received one end of a spring 33. the second end of the spring being fastened to the floor of the car. This spring influences the cover to closed position and holds the same tightly on the bowl or'body of the cuspidor.
My in'iprovement will be found desirable not only by chewers of tobacco but by occupants of a car desiring to expectorate. The disk 8, forming the bottom of the improvement, prevents leakage through the body 1 and is swung to open position only when the body is filled or when the machine is on the road a distance from a city. The cover, as previously stated, can be re: dily swung to open position and to closed position, and it is believed that the foregoing description, when taken in connection with the drawings will fully set forth the construction and advantages of my invention.
Having described the invention, I claim 1. A-cuspidor for automobiles including a body passing through an opening and secured to the floor of an automobile, a pivotally supported spring influenced closure for the bottom of the body, a push rod associated with the closure and passing through the flange of the body, a cover for the body having an extending arm which is pivotally secured to the flange, a flexible element connected to the arm, guide means therefor, a rod slidable through the dash or instrument board of the machine and to which the end of the fle-xible'element is connected, and a spring influenced dog on the rod for engaging the dash or instrument board to hold the cover in open position when the rod is pulled in one direction.
A cuspidor for automobiles including a hollow flared body having its upper and widened end flanged outwardly to rest upon the floor of an automobile when the body is let through an opening therein, said body having longitudinally disposed spaced ribs terminating in lower ears, ashaft between said cars, a disk having spaced lugs through which the shaft passes, said disk providing a bottom for the body, laterally extending arms on the disk, ears thereon, springs secured to certain of the ears and to the bottom of the automobile for swinging the disk to closed position, a push rod guided through the flange of the body and connected with the remaining ears to per init of the disk being swung to open position, a disk providing a cover for the body having an extending arm pivoted between the ears, said disk designed by its own weight to swing to closed position, a flexible element secured on the arm, guide means therefor, a rod slidable through the dash or instrument board of the automobile and to which the flexible element is connected, said rod being notched, a pivoted dog in the notch, a spring for influencing the dog outward therefrom, and whereby said dog will engage the instrument board or dash when the rod is pulled outwardly to hold the cover in open position.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
RUSSELL A. SMITH.
