FRANK E. WAKEFIELD, OI ELGIN, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR TO ILLINOIS WATCH CASE COMPANY, 01 ELGIN, ILLINoIs A CORPORATION OF ILLINOIS.
BECEPTAOLE FOB ASHES AND THE LIKE.
Application filed Kay 10,
This invention which relates to a receptacle convenient for the deposit of ashes or other light materials is directed more particularly toa construction which may be accommodated within an outer case or housing. Articles of this general character are especially suitable for mounting upon fixed supports, such as the walls of a room or automobile body. The device herein shown and described is designed with this specialpurpose in view, although it might obviously be employed elsewhere to advantage.
It is a primary object of this invention to devise a receptacle of the kind mentioned which may be produced at small expense;
- which will beneat in appearance; which will These corresponding edges of the body bottom 6.
retain its several components in securely assembled relation; which may be fitted easily within an intended case where it is held against movement; and which may be removed at will whenever desired for emptying of contents or any other purpose. Such a receptacle is illustrated in a preferred form in the accompanying drawing in the manner following:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the receptacle per se;
Fig. 2 which is a vertical section through a case or housing shows the receptacle fitted therein in the intended manner; and
Figs. 3, 4, and 5 which are perspective views show, respectively, the three receptacle componentsits upper edge, Its body, and its separable side.
The receptacle A comprises in its structure a body (Fig. 4) having a bottom 6 from which upstand two end walls 7 connected by a side wall 8 which also is connected to the bottom. Such a structure may conveniently be produced from sheet metal by die operations which are well known and commonly employed. Projecting from the aligned free edges of the bottom and the two end walls are tongues 9, as shown.
Associated with such a body is a separable side 10 (see Fig. 5 having flanges 11 turned laterall from its ttom and vertical edges. anges are adapted to lap past the and end walls 7 whereby to provide an en closing structure open only upon the top. Slots 12 may be provided in the separable side adacent its flanges to receive the tongues 9 which, upon being clinched, serve to secure this side permanently upon the body. If desired, indentations 13 may be arranged adacent each slot soas to accommodate the tongues therein in flush relation.
VVIth a receptacle so formed, I may assemble a top edge component (Fig. 3) which is choice-two are shown on each of two opposite ring sides, but this may be either more or less, as desired.
A permanent assembly of the top edge component is accomplished by the use of bars 18, (see Fig. 6) one for each pair of slots 16. As shown, each bar may be curved downwardly and is formed to provide at one end a tongue 19 and at its other a depending spring 20 which is outwardly bowed. Adj acent the upper edges of the body side wall 8 and the separable side 10 are other slots 21 in register with those provided in the ring of the top edge component. Through these several registering slots, the bars may be extended to tie the top edge to the receptacle body and its separable side, the tongue ends 19 being thereafter clinched to make this relationship of the parts permanent. If desired, indentations 22 may be provided in the body adjacent the slots 21 which lie next to indentations 17. in the top ed e piece, the displaced metal in the one part eing thereby permitted to occupy the adjoining space so that the bar tongues 19 need not protrude beyond the outer face of the receptacle walls. It will be noted that, by the means described, the bars act as ties for holding the separable side to the body, and also secure themselves in place horizontally across the upper open side of the receptacle. The only protruding elements are the springs 20 which, as stated, are outwardly bowed for a purpose which will shortly appear.
A receptacle of this general kind may be fitted conveniently with a case or houisng B (see Fig. 2). As shown, such a case may include side and end walls 23, and a bottom 24. Additionally, if desired, it may be enclosed within an ornamental outer shell 25 one wall of which may be upwardly extendcase which, of course, is properly dimen-' sioned to receive it. The spring (or springs) 20 is forced to a position 0 compression when the receptacle is so disposed, and be cause of the pressure which it exerts against the proximate case wall the receptacle is pushed over into tight engagement with the opposite wall. The receptacle is accordingly held securely against movement, and may not rattle around even though, as in the case of an automobile, the support for its mounting is unstable. And, as a further consequence of the construction just described, the receptacle may, if desired,'bewithdrawn with ease by lifting up upon its outstanding edge flange .which also is disposed exteriorly of the case. Across the bar or bars 18 any small object, such as a cigarette, may be rested in a manner which will permit the ashes thereof to drop into the receptacle, and because of the downward curve in the bar such an object will be retained in a fixed position.
