. This invention relatesto new and useful improvements. in ash'rece vers. V Oneofthe objects of my invention ls'the "provision of an ash receiver which is adapted to be'mounted on the dashboard of motor vehicles andthe mounting is of such nature as to readily permit the receiver to be quickly and easily positioned'in aconvenient location in front of the dash board as to be readily accessible by the driver or other parties sit ting in the front seat; ',At the same time, it

can be quickly andreadily moved to a posi- .tion behind the dash board so as tirely out of the way. i

' Another object of my invention is the provision ofan ash receiver of the above type which can be quickly and easily attached to the 'dashboard'of vva'riousmakes of auto 'mobiles and is movably mounted and operto be en'- move the receiverito various positions and [the receiver is so mounted that'it can be quickly and easily removed when it is de-,

sired to dischargethe contents thereof. 7

rangement of parts hereinafterjmore fully 'setforth, pointed out in. the claims and board 4 by means. of a lock nut 17, which 80 shown in the accompanying drawings whereqFigure 1 is a side elevation of my improved ash receiver andmounting, illustrating the manner in which it is attached to the 5 dash board withparts thereof broken away and illustrated in section; and,

Figure 2118 a detailed section on the line 2.2ofFigure.1.: Referring to the drawings, I havelillustrated'the mounting and application of my improved ash; receiver, the mounting includfv inga tubular member 1 formed with an annular flange 2 atone end andprovided with, screwthreads 3 "adjacent the flanged end.

The tubular' me'mberf is inserted throughan opening in thedash 4e and slidably mounted in the tubular member is anactuating rod 5 havinga thumb piece 6 at one end, normally bearing upon the head or flange 2 when the ash receiver is in an inoperative position.

This thumb piece is, as well as the tube 1,10

-c ated in a convenient position on the dash so as to be readily accessiblebythe driver of the vehicle or any one occupying the' front seat! 2 Secured to the tube l-at the outer end of the screw threads 3 is an arm '7. and pivotally connected to the outer end of this arm 1s the upper end of the lever 8. j.Tl1e lever"8 icarriesat' its outer end an an-gularly :proectmg bracket. 9 which includes a band 10 for receiving therein the ash receiver 11. V .Thisreceiver 11 is formed with an annular bead 12, adapted to're'st .against the band 10 y when in position, as shown in Figure 1 so that the receiver will be properly supported int. 65 i substantially horizontal ranged for use.

Attachedto the lever 8 adjacent its upper end is a link:13, saidlink being pivotally con;-

position' when arn ected to an adjustable collar 14 whichca'r- Y ries a transverse pin 15 eXtending-througha slot 16 in the outer threaded end of the rod 5. This collarl l'is internally threaded and can be adjusted longitudinally ofthe rod 5' through turning movement of the rod so that 7 vt-h'epin 15 .wilfl slide within the slot 16, the pin holding the collar 14 against rotative movement. I 1

The tube 1 is securely clamped to the dash by the dotted lines, the thumb piece is grasped to pull the rod 5 outwardly, this action mov- 7 ing the lever 8 so that it will swing upwardly to position the ash receiver in a substan- 9 tially horizontal position as disclosed.

When inthis position, the receiver can, if found necessary, be removed from the band 10 and the contents thereof discharged. 1 It will be apparent that when it is desired 0 tomove the receiver to an inoperative position behind the dash, the rod 5 is pushed inv Wardly, thus returningthe receiver to its inoperative position as shown by the full lines ,111 Figure 1. It will be apparentthat various Ways and means may be provided for proper- 1y supporting therreceiverbeforethe dash and moving it to an inoperative position behind the dash, but the essential feature of vmy 1 invention is the provision of a receiver Which '1 can be quickly and easily brought into oper- V ative position or moved out of the Way When so desired, and the mounting of the receiver is such that the contents thereofcanbe quickly and easily removed.
