` ASHTRAY Filed May 21, 1934 Entente-:d einne i6, lg3d cierren crores .NT @FFQ il Claim.
This invention relates to improvements in ash trays.
In places where smoking is indulged in, it is essential to provide some convenient place for disposing oi the ashes from cigars and olgarettes, because if this is not done, they will ulti mately get on the oor and into the carpets, ond cigar and cigerette ashes have elif/ayev been found to be very dlfiicult to remove.
I am ewere that ash treys ci diderent kinds lieve been invented end are in extensive use. but most oi those with which familiar ere merely open trays which ere easily upset end when upset the contents ere strewn over the teole or over the floor in n very objectionehle wey.
It is the object ci this en csh troy that sli f it will 'neve e. plessi vide singole storage sr object o? en csh tray that snel.' will se difficult to upset, vent the 'tshes from ne taole or door.
Another obiect of? invention is to produce an ash trasf, the opening into shell he psoe vided with a wire or other open or perioreted screen which serves as a support for cigars or cigarettes and which can ce employed for re= moving the eccumuieted ashes.
The eoove and other objects that may eccome apparent as this description proceeds are et= tained by means of a construction sind en ar invention to produce constructed. that rangement of parts that will now be described in detail, and for this purpose reference will he had to the accompanying drawing in which the preferred embodiment oi the invention has been illustrated, and in which:
Fig. l is a top plan view o one oi the im= proved ash trays which forms the subject oi this invention;
2 is a diametri'cel section taken on line 2--2, Fig. l;
Fig. 3 is e section similar to that shown in Fig. 2, but shows e, slightly modified construction; end
Fig. 4 is s, diametrlcel section similar to that shown in Fig. 2, but illustrating a still further modified form of the invention.
In the drawing reference numeral indicates the bottom oi the container whose vertical side well has been designated by reference numeral d. En the drawing, the conteiner has been shown as round and this is the preferable shape, but it may be e, polygon, if desired.
The container is open at the top and the open end thereof is closed by means of a cover which is formed from a flange having a circular ringlike portion 'l provided with an inwardly extending flange t3. The ange t is located a short distance below the upper edge of the ring 'l end the lower portion of this ring telescopes over the upper edge of the wall t, as shown clearly in 2. The opening in the cover is traversed by e Wire mesh screen which is soldered or otherelise secured to onge it. The Wires of the screen have been indicated by reference numerals t .and lil, end extend et right angles to each other es shovm in The openings between the Wires ere such that e, cigarette cen loe introduced through these openings into the container. The upwardly extending edge of the ring' l provides n e stout the opening in the cover and crevent cigarettes from. accidentally when leid on the screen. In Fig. 2, gerette heen indicated hy dot end` dash lines for tire purpose of illustrating hor/v ther,7 een. `foe supported on the ash tres. The occurnulated geiles on. the end o the cigarette con loe removed by "crushing the end over the wire screen in en obvious manner. Since the csh tray is compm'atively shallow, it stands rmly on its support end is very hard to turn over, and therefore there is very little danger of spilling the contents.
in 3, o slightly modi-lied form has been shown in which the ange t extends inwardly o, greater distance than in Eig. 2, so as to make the opening in the cover smaller. The opening is traversed by a `Wire screen similar tov that shown in Figs. l and 2. The object of increasing the Width of flange t3 is to oier greater obstruction to the ashes in case the ash tray is turned over on its side because the enge d Will serve to hold the ashes in place even when there is e, considerable accumulation.
ln Fig. fl o slightly modied form has been shown in. which the bottom 5a is heavier than the corresponding port in the other figures. The side te is slightly curved end therefore it the ash tray is accidentally upset, the weight of the bottom will tend to roll it Toacle into upright position. The cover is preferably cast and has e flange la Whose outside diameter is the same as the outside diameter of the wall tot The lower portion or the ange, which hes been designated as lb, is oiset inwardly so as to leave e. rabhet for the reception of the upper end of the wall la. With this construction, the outer surface of the ash tray is smooth to the top of the ange 1a. The cover has an inwardly extending ange 8a that terminates in a downwardly extending frusta-conical ange I I that tapers inwardly and downwardly. The opening in the cover is closed by a wire screen like that shown in Figs. 1 and 2 and which is soldered or otherwise attached to the ilange. Whenever ashes are rubbed oi! from the end of a cigar or cigarette, they fall through the wire screen and through the opening in the frusto-conical ange and fall into the container. In case this container is upset, the ashes will be prevented from falling out by the anges 8a and Il. It is evident that an ash tray constructed like that-shown in Fig. 4 can be turned upsidedown without spilling any of the ashes, because they will be held in place by the frusto conical ange.
It will be seen from the above that all of the modifications shown have this feature in common, that the container is provided with a readily removable cover having an opening that is traversed by a wire screen. This serves both as a support for cigars and cigarettes and also as a means for removing the ashes.
The container can be stamped from a piece of sheet metal and the cover portion can also be formed in the same way, but if desired the parts can be die-cast, in which case they can be made heavier and provided with suitable ornaments tions on the outside.l
The openings in the cover are of such size that cigarette butts, matches, etc., can be inserted through them and the 'container is there- 5 fore serviceable for other things than ashes.
Having described the invention what is claimed as new is:
An ash tray comprising, in combination, van
open-top container with its open upper end de- 10I ned by smooth, vertical walls, and a removable cover therefor, said cover comprising an upstanding flange conforming in outline with the upper end oi' said container and adapted to seat on and form a smooth continuation oi the conl5 tainer walls, a second iiange depending in integral, oilset relation with said rst ilange and arranged to telescope within and frictionally engage against the container walls, an annular flange integral with and projecting in perpen- 20 dicular relation inwardly from the aforementioned flanges adjacent the junction oi' the iatter, a frusto-conical baille forming an integral extension from the inner margin of said annular ilange and disposed to open axially within said 25 container below said iiange, and a screen secured to and in the plane of said annular ilange in traversing relation with the open base of said frusta-conical extension.
