It is also an object of the invention to provide a cigar and cigarette extinguishing device of this character adapted to be readily removed from an ash tray or receptacle without tilting the same and spilling ashes.

With these and other objects in view the invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the claims hereto appended, it being understood that various changes in the form, proportion and minor details of construction, within the scope of the claims, may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.

In the drawing, in which like characters of reference designate corresponding parts in the several views Figure 1 is a plan View of a cigar and cigarette extinguishing device constructed in accordance with this invention.

Figureais a similar view showing the mannerof extinguishing a cigar stump. In the accompanying drawing, in which is" illustratedthe preferred, embodiment of the invention, the cigar 'and cigarette extinguish ng device comprises in its construction, an ope frame 1 whichis in the form of a ring'but which may'be'of any other desired configuration to Man. ash tray of the desired form. The open frame is arranged within an ash tray 1 and is provided at intervals with cigar and cigarette receiving openings consisting of an upper tapered cigar receiving portion-2 and a lower tapered cigarette receiving portion 3, which is connected with the upper cigar receiving portion by an intermediate tapered portion 5, having its walls arranged at different angles from the walls of the upper cigar receiving portion to provide a shoulder or seat for a cigar stump and forming inclined walls for directing the ashes to the lower opening 3 so that ashes will not accumulate within the opening when'the cigar stump 6 is placed in the upper cigar receiving portion, as illustrated in Figure 4 of the drawing. The tapered upper portion 2 is adapted to compress and extinguish the cigar stump 6 and the lower cigarette receiving portion 3 is adapted to compress and extinguish a cigarette stump 7, as illustrated in Figure 3 of the drawing. By the particular construction of the openings the device is adapted to receive cigar and cigarette stumps and will extinguish the same and retain the same in the openings to prevent the stumps from being scattered, and the open frame is adapted to be readily removed from the ash tray, an inner lower beveled edge 4 being provided to permit the open frame to be readily grasped and lifted out of the ash tray without inverting the latter and spilling the contents thereof. The outer face of the open frame is preferably tapered, as shown, to fitthe inclined wall 8 of the ash tray.
