Oct. 8, 1929. F. R. BELT ASH RECEIVER Filed April 1e, 1928 Patented Oct. 8^,` 1929 i FRED R. BELT, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS .asnl REcErvR Application led April 16,

This invention relates to ash receivers and its primary object is to provide an ash receiver which may be detachably clamped to a card table or otherpiece of furniture and moved into and out of operative position as required.

Another object is to provide an ash receiver comprising a receptacle in the form of a cup which may be swung out of the Way la and concealed under a table ledge or the arm of a chair when not in use and swung out from under Vthe ledge or the arm when required for use. n

ln the accompanying drawing illustrating 3 av selected embodiment of the invention, the

views are as follows:

Fig. 1 is a top plan view of my novel ash receiver applied to a table ledge.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the device a shown in Fig. 1 on an enlarged scale. h Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view on the line 3` 3 of Fig. 2.

Figll is a detail plan view on the line 4 4 of Fig. 3.

Fig. 5 is a detail of the parts.

Fig. 6 is a detail elevation of another part.

Referring to the drawings, 10 designates a tubular post provided with an elongated 3 slot 11 in one side and a clamping arm 12 rigidly connected to the top thereof. A slidable arm 13 provided with an anular collar 14 `is adapted to slide on the post l0. A center lug or core 15 is arranged in the collar 14 and is connected to one side thereof by a web 16. The post. 10 fits into the collar 14:, and the core 15 lits within the post 10, the web 16 sliding within the slot 11. This construction keeps the arm 13 in proper position relative to the post, and the parts are so constructed that when the slidable arm 13 is applied to the post, the

arms

13 and 12 will be opposite and spaced from each other as shown in' Fig. 2. The post 10 is screw-threaded at its lower end to receive a cap 17, Fig. 3.

A spring 18 is arranged within the post 10 and is confined between the cap 17 and the bottom of the core| 15 to normally urge the arm 13 upward on the post 10.' A thumb-` perspective view of one 192s. yserial No. 270,168.

'to a piece of furniture such as a card table 20,`Figs. 1 and 2. Rubber disks 21, or other soft material, are arranged on the

arms

12 and 13 to prevent marring of the table when the clamp is applied. The arm 12 may be concave at 22 to conveniently hold a cigar or a cigarette.

The collar 14 has a lug 23 integral therewith which is spaced substantially at right angles to the thumb-piece 19. The lower end f of the lug 23 may be elongated at 24, Figs.

3. and 5, and an aperture 25 provided therein receives a pivot pin 26 which is embedded in an ear 27 integral with theannular ange 28 at the side of the receptacle or cup 29. 70

In practice, arm 13 is slided on the post 10 and urged toward the arm l2 by the spring 18. By pressing on the cap 17 and the thumbpiece 19 the spring is compressed and the arm 13 is moved vertically on the post 10 to space the arm 13 from the arm 12 so that the device may be easily applied to a t-able ledge or to the arm of a chair. When the thumb-piece is released, the spring 18 securely keeps the two arms in clamped position. The pivot pin 80 26 is th-cn inserted in the aperture 25 of the lug 23 to pivotally support the cup on the lug 22. The cup may then he swung inwardly on the pin 26 and concealed under the table when not in use and then swung outwardly when required for use. The various parts of my device embodying the present invention may be made of metal or any other material.

My present invention provides an ash receptacle which may be detachably supported on a piece of furniture without marring the same and which can be easily and quickly operated tobring it into use and then moved away and concealed when not required.

Changes may bel made in the form, construction and arrangement of the parts without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention orsacrificing any of the advantages thereof, and I reserve the right to make'all 100 ,10 i projectingoutward at an angle to and below such changes as fairly fall within the scope of the-following` claims.

I claim:

1. In an ash receiver, the combination of a support comprising a tubular post, a rigid clamping arm on said post, another clamping arm movable on said post, a spring within the post acting upon the movable arm for eooperating with the rigid arm to clamp the post upon' a table, a lug on said movable arm the top thereof, and a cup pivotally engaged witlrth'e lug and adapted to be swung about ,thel lugunder the movable arm and table or outifvard from the table.

2;..In`van ash receiver, the combination of la support comprising a tubular post,'a. rigid elampingaim on said post, another velainpingv armniovable on the post, a spring -withn the post acting upon the movable arm for cooperating with the rigid arm to clamp the post upon a table, a lug on said movable arm projecting laterally therefrom and having a pivotl opening7 aeup and a pivot pin on the cup and (leta'eliably engageable with Said opening'for swinging movement under the niovable'arm and table or projecting outward .from the table.

3. In an ashieceivei, the combination of a support comprising a tubular lpost having a slot in its side, a removable cap on the lower end and a rigidclamping arm on the upper` end of said post, another clamping arm having alcollar,sa}id collar being movable on the post and having a core within the post and a connecting web in the slot, a. Spring confined within the post between the cap and the core,

a lug on the Collar, and a cup pivotally and de'tacliably engaged with the lug and adapted to be swung under the movable arm and table or outward from the table.
