Description
March 13, 1934. e. R. BURTON CIGARETTE EXTINGUISHER Filed July 3, 1930 Inventor 622011 e RJaal'fon Attorneys Patented Mar. 13, 1934 i AYE RT 3 Claims.
v The present invention relates to improvements in extinguishing devices particularly adapted for extinguishing cigarettes and the like.
An important object of the invention is the- 5 provision of a cigarette extinguishing device which may be used in conjunction with a tray or other form of ash receiver for quickly extinguishing a lighted cigarette or similar smoking article.
A further object of the invention is the pro- 1O vision of an extinguishing device of the above character which may be conveniently operated to permit extinction of a cigarette with one hand.
Another object of the invention is the provision of an extinguishing device of the above type which may be manipulated so as to engage and smother the lighted end of a cigarette without mutilating the same.
Still another object of the invention is the provision of an extinguishing device which may be actuated to stamp out the lighted end of a cigarette.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent as the description progresses.
In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification and in which like reference characters are employed to designate corresponding parts throughout the same:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the assembled extinguishing device,
Figure 2 is a central transverse sectional view through the same,
Figure 3 is a fragmentary sectional view illustrating the adjustment of the device for the prop- 5 er placement of a cigarette in conjunction therewith,
Figure 4 is a similar view showing the operation of the device to stamp out the lighted end of a cigarette, and
Figure 5 is a similar view showing the operative movement of the device to smother the lighted end of a cigarette without mutilation thereof.
Referring to the drawing, wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown a preferred embodiment of the invention, the numeral 10 generally designates a conventional form of ash tray or receiver having a flat central base forming portion and a marginal rim.
Rigidly connected with the centre of the tray l0 and disposed to assume an upwardly directed position thereon is a guide member, in the present instance, embodying a stem 11 having the upper portion exteriorly screw threaded.
Loosely fitted over the stem 11 so as to permit sliding as well as tilting adjustment is an extinguishing member 12, preferably in the form of an annular plate having a central aperture of greater diameter than that of the stem 11 and having the inner edge bevelled, as shown to ad- 7 vantage in Figure 2. Rigidly fastened to the plate i! 12 and projecting vertically upward therefrom is a U-shaped bail or handle 13 having the ends tightly fitted in apertures in diametrically opposed sides of the plate adjacent the peripheral edge.
Positioned about the stem 11 and disposed between the bottom of the tray 10 and the lower face of the plate 12 is a coiled spring 14, normally maintained in compression, as will be later described. N
Threaded on the upper portion of the stem 11, to a predetermined adjusted position, is a knob 15, in the present instance having an elliptic longitudinal section and an annular cross section. The knob 15 is formed with an interiorly screw threaded bore designed for threaded connection with the upper threaded portion of the stem. Thus, the extinguishing plate 12 is universally tiltable, that is, the plate may be tilted from its normal horizontal position, parallel with 8d the base, in all directions about the centrally projecting support stem.
In use, the knob is adjusted so that the plate 12 will be normally maintained at a suitable position above the bottom of the tray, the plate being tightly urged against the lower portion of the knob by the compression spring 14 and thus normally disposed in a horizontal arrangement.
To extinguish a cigarette without mutilation thereof so as to permit subsequent use, it is mere- 1y necessary to engage the handle 13 and slightly tilt the same, causing corresponding tilting movement of the plate 12, and to insert the lighted end of the cigarette under the elevated portion of the plate, as shown to advantage in Figure 3. When the handle 13 and plate 12 are released the plate will tend to reassume its normal horizontal position so that the formerly elevated portion of the plate will be slightly depressed upon the lighted end of the cigarette, as shown to advantage in Figure 5, causing rapid extinction thereof. As the pressure upon the cigarette, in this particular operation, is relatively slight, the unburned portion of the cigarette may be subsequently ignited and consumed.
Where it is desirable to instantly extinguish the cigarette, without regard to the mutilation thereof, the lighted end of the cigarette is introduced under the extinguishing plate 12 in the manner described in the foregoing and the handle and plate are then forcefully depressed so as to tightly compress the lighted end of the cigarette and immediately extinguish the same.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
1. A device of the character described comprising a base member, a stem extending upwardly from the base member, a plate having a central aperture, the stem extending through the central aperture in the plate, and means supporting the plate on the stem so as to permit tilting of the plate in various directions for compressing a cigarette between the plate and the base.
2. A device of the character described comprising a base member, a stem attached to and extending upwardly from the base member, an
ing a base, a stem projecting from the base, a
plate on the stem, spring means tending to normally retain the plate spaced from the base, and a member adjustably fitted on the stem adapted to limit movement of the plate away from the base.
GEORGE R. BURTON.
