3 Claims.
This invention relates to ash trays for smokers of cigars and cigarettes, and aims to provide a novel and improved ash tray cabinet that has, among others, the advantages and novel features herein described and illustrated.
In the drawings of one embodiment of my invention selected for description and illustration herein:
Fig. l is a side elevation with the cover or top partly raised and the tray carrying door or holder opened;
Fig. 2, a detail section, on an enlarged scale, on line 2-2, Fig. 1, looking down, of the hinge construction for the swinging tray holder on the la cabinet;
Fig. 3, a plan, showing one swinging tray holder swung outward for use; and
Fig. l, a vertical section on line 4- 3 of Fig. 3.
Referring first to Figs. 1, 2, 3, our novel ash 20 tray cabinet comprises a front wall I, rear wall 2, side walls 3, top or cover 5 and base 6. The cover 5 is hinged to the rear wall 2 by a suitable hinge l.
The greater portion of each side wall 3, 4, is
25 countersunk as at 8, to provide a seat for a door or tray holder 88, hinged as at 9 to the walls 3, i, by a pin i6, extended through the front wall 5 and rear wall 2, and a depressed panel wall it in the side walls, so that the door may be swung 30 down to rest upon the table, as in Fig. 4, or be swung up and into the countersunk panel closely against the side cabinet wall.
The edge of the cover 5 is turned downwardly somewhat to overlap the edge of the tray holder 5 88 and thus retain it securely in upright position.
The several members forming the cabinet walls may be of any suitable material, as metal preferably light weight, and secured in any satisfactory manner. The center areas of the doors 88 are de- 40 pressed 'to form tray receiving panels [2, and the front edge of the door is countersunk as at l3, at a convenient point to permit insertion of the finger tip between the tray panel l2 and edge of the tray i4 held thereby, to allow convenient 45 removal of the tray from the door when desired.
The inner edge of the tray holder 88, after being curved over the pin it] to form the hinge, is carried downwardly at an angle, as at 89, to engage the wall 3, or 4, and thus act as a support 50 for the tray holder, to keep it from swinging downwardly while open, wh n the cabinet is raised upon the table or stand.
The supply of trays is kept within the cabinet, where they are nested one upon another, as dia- 55 grammatically shown in Figs. 1 and 4, and are thus conveniently carried from place to place, as desired.
The trays are of any light suitable material, as cardboard, treated to make them non-combustible, or preferably may be of very thin, inexpen- 5 sive metal of any kind.
These trays may be so thin and light weight that one hundred or more may be stacked one upon another within a cabinet of a size convenlent to place upon any table or stand. They rest 10 upon inwardly extended lip-like members E5 on the side walls 3, t, of the cabinet, one tray being placed also in each door or tray holder, if desired.
The cabinet is made ready for use by simply raising the cover and then swinging one or both doors downwardly, as in Fig. 4, and placing an ash tray in one or each, if required. On a card table, a cabinet may be placed between each two players, and thus provide a tray for each player.
After use, the ash tray may be easily removed from the tray holder and thrown away, and the door returned to its closed position. This obviates the unpleasant duty of cleaning the conventional ash tray of ashes, matches and cigar and cigarette stubs, by wiping or washing the tray as is now generally done.
The tray obviously may be of any preferred shape, as oval, round, hexagonal, etc., and of convenient size. The cabinet may be decorated as desired, to be more attractive.
For convenience, the tray carrying door is easily unhinged by pulling out the pins Ii), thus permitting the doors to be removed from the cabinet with the ash trays therein, and used separately if desired.
To facilitate removal of a tray from its stack. the side cabinet walls 3, 4, are slotted vertically as at 15, so that the finger readily may be inserted therein for that purpose.
Reinforcing sections ll, dotted lines Fig. 3. on the front and rear walls l, 2, are provided to increase stability of the walls.
Applicants are not restricted to the precise embodiment described and illustrated herein, and which is more particularly pointed out in the following claims.
We claim:
1. An ash tray container comprising a cabinet constructed to receive ash trays in stacked formation, the cabinet having a tray-holding wall member with a panel offset to provide a vertical pocket for preliminarily positioning therein for use a tray, angularly to the vertical tray stack, the wall member being swingable relative to the cabinet to position the tray horizontally, and
being removable therefrom for detached use; the wall member having its lower edge fashioned to act as a support for the wall member when the cabinet is raised from its support with the wall member opened.
2. An ash tray container comprising a cabinet adapted to receive ash trays, a slot in a side wall to permit the insertion of the finger beneath the edge of a tray to remove it, a tray supporting lip on a cabinet wall, a tray holding wall member movable relative to the cabinet to receive a tray for use.
3. An ash tray container comprising a cabinet adapted to receive ash trays in stacked formation, a slot in a side wall to permit the insertion of the finger beneath the edge of a tray to remove it, a tray supporting lip on a cabinet wall, a tray holding wall member hinged to the cabinet to receive a tray for use, the tray holder detachable from the cabinet for convenient use.
