Patented Nov. 15, 1932 UNITED STATES CHARLES IB. ARMSTRONG, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO i EXTINGUISHER FOR CIGARETTES AND THE LIKE Application led January 10, 1931.
rIhis invention relates to extinguishers for cigarettes and the like, and has for an object the provision of a. new and improved device of this type.
In the drawing accompanying this specification and forming a part of this application I have shown, for purposes of illustration, one form which my invention may assume, and in the drawing:
Figure 1 is a plan view of an embodiment of the invention,
Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view corresponding to the line 2-2 of Figure 1,
Figure 3 isa plan view of another embodiment of the invention,
Figure -t is a vertical sectional view corresponding to the line 4 4 of Figure 3, while Figure 5 is a vertical sectional view corresponding to the line 5-5 of Figure 3.
Referring to the embodiment shown in F"gmes 1 and 2, there is provided a body p0rtion 10 of glass or other suitable material, substantially uniform in thickness, having a plurality of bores 11 extending transversely entirely therethrough, and of a diameter greater than that of an ordinary cigarette and sutliciently large to permit ready admission, and unimpeded passage of a cigarette therethrough; and in addition the body portion 10 is provided with a relatively large recess 12, also extending transversely entirely through said body portion. Cooperating with one side of the body portion 10 is a base .y or closure 13, preferably in the form of a 'D metal plate, adapted to lie flat against one side surface of the body portion 10, and to provide a removable closure common to all of the bores 11 and to the recess 12, and oper- 40 ating to seal, or substantially seal, the adjacent open ends of the bores 11 and of the recess 12 in the body portion 10; and the base 13 may be detachably connected to the body portion 10 by means of upstanding marginal projections 14 adapted to resiliently grasp the side surfaces 15 of the body portion 10, as shown. The body portion 10 is preferably so constructed that either one of its flat sides may be disposed in engagement with the base 13 so as to be reversible.
The construction thus described provides a Serial No. 507,828.
combined cigarette holder extinguisher and ash tray, loperable initially to contain fresh cigarettes, operable also to extinguish lighted cigarettes inserted into the bores 11 with- -out soiling the device, and also providing a receptacle for ash; and wherein the device may conveniently be emptied merely by detaching the base 13 to release the waste material.
In use, with the base 13 in position, fresh 60 cigarettes may be inserted individually into the bores 11 and held in upstanding position, supported at the bottom ends by the base 13, and laterally by the walls of the respective bores 11; the cigarettes thus supported are 65 conveniently presented for use, and may be extracted one at a time. lVhen one is extracted and lighted, the ash resulting from smoking may be deposited in the recess 12 of the device, and when smoking is finished the lighted end of the cigarette may be reinserted gently and without crushing into a vacant bore 11, and due to the absence of combustion sustaining air the cigarette is quickly extinguished in a few seconds without deposit of ash; thus annoyance due to burning of discarded cigarettes is obviated, without necessity of crushing and without fouling the device. It should be noted that each bore 11 is of considerably greater diameter than that of 8C a cigarette and this feature is of value in ernptying the device, while in no way interferingy with the extinguishment of the lighted cigarettes; evidently the air within the bore is rapidly exhausted, and carbon dioxide formed, which seals the bore 11 against admission of additional air, and extinguishment takes place by actual test in two to three seconds with substantially no deposit of ash. Vhen it is desired to empty the device the base 13 is detached andthe extinguished cigarettes in the bores 11 and the ashes in the recess 12 pass-through onto the base 13, leaving the body portion 10 clean, and the waste thus deposited is readily removed therefrom, and the base 13 readily replaceable in position with reference to the body portion 10. Thus it will be seen that not only is rapid eX- tiuguishment of cigarettes accomplished, but
waste residue may be disposed of without trouble, and the device requires practically no cleaning, yet is easily maintained in a clean condition.
Referring to Figures 3 and 4: of the drawing a somewhat different embodiment is disclosed, and comprises a body portion 20 provided with bores 21 and a recess 22 corresponding to the body portion 10, bores l1, and recess l2 heretofore described. The body portion 20 is detachably connected to a receptacle 23 of substantial capacity through use of pins 24 engaging in recesses 25 in the edge of the receptacle 23, and carried by the receptacle 23 is a slidably mounted plate 26 adapted normally to be disposed beneath the body portion 20 in position to close the lower ends of the bores 2l and the lower end of the recess 22, yet being removable from this position, by horizontal sliding of the plate 26, so as to permit the contents of the bores 11 and recess 12 to pass into the receptacle 23, after which the plate 26 may be restored to its normal position to close the bores 21 and recess 22.
It will be appreciated that this construction provides all of the advantages heretofore disclosed in Figures l and 2, but in addition provides for emptying the waste contents of the body portion 20 into the receptacle 23, without in any Way interfering with the extinguishing operations heretofore referred to, yet obviating the necessity for emptying the device until the receptacle 23 has been filled.
-It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that I have accomplished at least the principal object of my invention; it will also be apparent that the device is capable of uses and has advantages other than those herein described, and may be variously changed and modified without departing from the spirit of the invention; accordingly it will be understood that the embodiments herein disclosed are illustrative only and the invention is not limited thereto.
