DI'LLKOEFIB, 0F CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, OHIO COMBINED SMOKERS STAND AND TABLE Application filed February 16, 1929. Serial No. 340,365.
One of the objects of the invention is the provision of means in connection with card tables and the like for the reception of ashes, matches and other dbris, which means shall be flush with the top ofthe table.
Another object is the provision of means for providing a firm, rigid connection between the table top and legs permitting the removal of the legs in order that the table ma be stored in a small space.
X further object is the provision of means for collecting dbris at the lower ends of the legs and for emptying the same when necessary.
means enabling a hollow leg when detached from the table to be employed separately as a smokers stand.
Another object is the provision of a pocket in a side edge of the table top for the reception of a package of cigarettes, a box of matches or otherarticles of small size.
Other objects and features of novelty will appearas I proceed with the description of those embodiments of the invention which, for the purposes of the present application, I have illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which-- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a table embodying the invention;
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a corner piece which may be employed in connection with the invention; r
Fig. 3 is a top plan view of one of the legs in Fig. 1;
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of one of the legs fitted at the top with a removable handle and match box holder for completing a smokers stand;
Fig. 5 is an elevational view, partly in vertical section, of one corner of the table top of a modified form of the invention;
Fi 6 is a fitting adapted to be removably attac ed to the upper end of aleg such as is illustrated in Fig. 5 in order to convert the leg into a smokers stand; and
Fig. 7 is an elevational, fragmental view, partly in section, of the lower end of a different form of leg.
In the drawings 10 represents a table top which may be formed of any suitable material such as wood, ply board or fibre board, properly reinforced. Along the sides of the table top are border strips 11. At each corner the table top 10 is cut away and rabbeted to'receive a corner piece 12 of non-combustible material, preferably metal, the upper surface of the corner piece lying flush with the surface of the table top proper. Each corner piece is provided with downturned flanges 13 and 14. Fastenings 15 may be emtable top.
The flange 13 of one or more of the corner pieces is cut away, as indicated at 16, and a shelf 17 is mounted therebehind, this shelf being enclosed preferably at the back and at both sides. Thereby a small enclosure, open at the front, is provided for the reception of cigarettes, matches, cigar lighters, or other small articles which otherwise might have to be placed upon the table where they would be in danger of being brushed off by the elbows of those seated at the table.
In the flat portion of the corner piece 12 I form an opening 18 through which ashes, burnt matches and other debris is adapted to be dropped. In alignment with the center of each opening 18 is a hollow leg 20, preferably tubular and preferably metallic. This leg is detachably connected with the corner 'piece 12. In the present instance the upper end of the tubular portion of the leg has secured thereto permanently a funnel shaped connection member 21, provided with a flat rim 22. If desired there may be a downturned flange 23 at the outer periphery of the rim 22, as indicated in Fig. i. In the rim 22 there are two or more keyhole slots 24 which are adapted to receive pins 25 fixed p ployed for securing the corner pieces to the Still another object is the provision ofin the corner piece 12, depending therefrom and headed on their lower ends. When a leg is to be assembled to the table top, the
heads of the pins 25 are caused to pass 5 through the circular portions of the slots 24,
after which the leg is given a partlal turn so as to cause the pins to enter the narrow portions of the slots. The parts are then held together firmly, although releasably.
The lower end of the leg has a bulbous foot portion 26, provided with a cup-shaped bottom or closure 27, which is removably held in position by a series of pressed in threads 28, or by any other suitable means. The foot portion 26, 27 is in open communication with the tubular portion of the leg, and is made large enough to form a stable base for the leg when the latter is separated from the table top. The foot portion 26, 27 may be weighted, if desired, in order to cause the leg to return to a vertical position after being tilted. The leg itself, as above described, is adapted to be employed alone as an ash receiver, but I prefer to transform it into a complete smokers stand by means of a metallic handle 29 having base flanges 30 provided with depending pins 31, similar to the pins 25, which are adapted to cooperate with the keyhole slots 24 in the rim 22 and thereby to removably attach the handle to the leg 20. This handle may be provided with a pair of spaced plates 32 for the reception of a match box, and may have grooves 33 in which lighted cigars or cigarettes may be placed.
In the modification illustrated in Fig. 5 the entire top of the table is constructed of a single sheet of metal 35, having downturned side flanges 36. Near each corner of the table the top 35 is provided with an opening 37, preferably circular, and around this opening is a. depressed annular seat 38. A tubular leg 39 is mounted in alignment with the center of the opening 37 being attached in the present instance by means of a funnel-shaped connector 40 which may be pressed out of the table top itself or rigidly secured thereto, as by means of screws 41 extending through the annular seat 38 and through a fiat rim 42 of the connector member 40. One or more of the screws 41 may be made long enough to enter and secure in position a small curved plate 43 in which a cigar or cigarette may be rested with its lighted end overhanging the funnel-shaped connector 40.
The connector 40 is provided with an offset 44 constituting an annular seat for the upper end of the leg 39. and with a cylindrical portion 45 fitting within the leg 39. This cylindrical portion 45 and the upper end of the leg 39 are provided with cooperating spiral ribs and grooves 46 and 47. A partial rotation of the leg 39 serves to lock the same in position upon the cylindrical portion 45 of the connector, with the end of the leg impinging upon the seat 44. The lower part of the leg may be furnished with a bulb- 'ous foot portion 26, as previously described and as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 4.
upper end must be supplied with an ash re ceiver, and preferably with other fittings to convert the leg into a complete smokers stand. For this purpose I supply a unit, such as I have illustrated in Fig. 6, in which there is a funnel-shaped member 48 similar in every respect to the member 40 except that its periphery is preferably flanged over as indicated at 49. To the rim of the member 48 I secure a handle 50 which may be identical with the handle 29 previously described, except for the fact that it is permanently attached to the member 48 by rivets 51 or the like. As in the case of the member 40 there is a depending cylindrical portion 52 provided with spiral grooves 53, by means of which the unit may be detachably mounted upon the leg 39.
In connection with either of the above described forms of the invention, where it is not desired to employ the legs separately as smokers stands, I may substitute for the bulbous foot 26 a cup-shaped cap or closure 54, illustrated in Fig. 7 this cup being made removable by some suitable securing means, as for instance cooperating spiral ribs and grooves 55 and 56. Ashes or other dbris deposited in the funnel- shaped connector 21 or 40, as the case may be, finds its way to the bottom of the leg 20 or 39, as the case may be, and into the cup-shaped closure 54, which .may be removed at intervals for cleaning, or
if desired the debris may be emptied by the inversion of the leg after it has been removed from the table.
It will be appreciated thatthe two different means herein disclosed for removably securing the legs to the table may each be employed in connection with table tops made entirely of metal or with table tops having metal corner pieces only.
While I have shown and described more or less in detail certain specific forms of the invention, this detailed disclosure is primarily for the purpose of completely illustrating the invention, and is not to be construed as a limitation upon the scope thereof.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:
1. In a table, a table top comprising a metallic corner portion having a fiat upper surface and a downturned flange along one side of the corner portion, said flange havin an opening therethrough, and an enclosed s elf within the corner portion in the rear of said opening.
2. In a combination table and smokera equipment, the combination of a table top having a plurality of marginal openings, a plurality of independenty portable, normally upright hollow pedestals having relatively large flaring upper receiving ends, and interlocking connectionsbetween the eripheries of said flaring ends of said pedesta and said top for detachably securing said pedestals thereto in registry with said openings, whereby said pedestals co-operate to support said top, said pedestals having removable closures for their lower ends.
3. In a combination table and smokers equipment, the combination of a table top having marginal openings at spaced points, inserts fixed to the marginal portions of said top and formed with openlngs registering with the openings in said top, a plurality of independently portable, normally upright, hollow pedestals having flared upper ends, interlocking connections between the peripheries of said flared ends and said inserts for detachably securing said pedestals to said inserts in registry with the openings therein, whereby said pedestals co-operate to support said top, said pedestals having removable closures at their lower ends, and an enclosed shelf carried by each said insert on its lower side and open at its outer end adjacent one edge of said insert. I
In testimony whereof, I hereunto aflix my signature.
