Description
OC. 26, 1937. W L MERZ ASH RECEIVER Filed May 20, 1936 /NVENTo/e WILLIAM L MERZ n ATToRNx/s 2 FIG.4. @M
Patented Oct. 26, 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 13 Claims.
This invention relates to ash receivers and similar devices, and more particularly to a receiver of the type having hinged closures on which ashes may be deposited, but which are adapted to swing inwardly to dump the ashes into the receptacle.
One of the objects of the invention is the provision of a hinged closure which is held in position to receive ashes and cigarette stubs by a cover or cigarette supporting member, the latter being removable to permit the closure to fall by its own weight and thereby dump ashes into the receptacle.
It is another object of the invention to so form the several parts that the receiver is easy to manufacture and is relatively inexpensive.
Other objects of the invention will be apparent from the following description thereof when taken with the appended drawing, in which- Fig. 1 is an elevation, partly in section, of the ash receiver, taken on lines I-I of Figure 2;
Fig. 2 is a top View, partly in section, of the receiver shown in Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a side view taken on lines 3-3 of Figure 1, the parts thereof being sectional, of
the top of the receiver;
Fig. 4 is a top view of a stamping from which one part of the closure is formed, and
Fig. 5 is a fragmentary sectional View showing the cover lifted with respect to the receptacle.
In the drawing, the receiver comprises a bowl shaped base or receptacle I0 and an upper annular member II preferably detachably connected to the base as by a bayonet joint indicated at I2, although the parts may be held together by a frictional ft if desired. In the form shown in the drawing, both the base and annular member are shaped from sheet metal. The upper ortop piece II is formed with a substantially circular horizontal flange I3, the inner periphery of which has opposite straight chordlike edges I4. Parallel with edges I4 on each side of the receiver top vare openings I5, preferably cut out in such a manner that the metal at the ends of the openings may beV bent under and looped to form a hinge pin housing I 6.
The closure I1 is formed from a pair of plates I8, I8' having their opposed edges I9, I9' abutting along a diametrical line and fashioned at their opposite sides to form one part of the hinge for each plate. As shown in Fig. 4, each plate has a main, substantially semi-circular portion 20 and an extension of generally trapezoidal form indicated at 2|. The lateral wings 22 are first bent at a right angle to the plane of the plate along the dotted lines 23, after which the eX- tension is also bent at a right angle to the said plane along the dotted line 24, bringing the edges 25 of the wings into abutting relation with the bottom surface of the semi-circular portion of the plate. Apertures 26 are punched in the wings and accommodate a U-shaped pin 21, the legs 28 of which are held in the loops or bearings I6.
The plates, because they are unbalanced, tendV to fall or tilt downwardly, in which position the closure of the receiver would be open. To hold the plates in normal cooperative closing relation, a removable ring-like cigarette support 29 having lugs 3D on the under side thereof rests on the Vtop of the receiver. Lugs 3U are oblong in longitudinal section and fit fairly snugly in openings I5 in the top of the receiver. The transverse section of each lug is shown in Fig. 1, from which it will be seen that the inner face thereof is vertical, while its rear face is rounded to permit easy insertion of the lugs in openings I5. The lugs are so spaced from each other that, as they are inserted, they rst engage the extensions 2! and then rock each plate about its hinge pin to bring the main or closure portions of the plates I8, I8 to the horizontal and receiver closing position shown in Fig. 1. At this time the inner face of each lug engages and lies flush against the angularly bent extensions on the respective plates, thus holding the main portions of the plates in elevated position and with their edges in abutting relation, so that they will support ashes and stubs deposited thereon.
Disposed above the closure members and secured either to the receiver top I I or to the supporting ring 29 is a wire member 3| having an upwardly projecting and return bent portion 32. 'Ihis projection may be used either to support cigarettes in conjunction with recesses 33 in ring 29, or to aid in the removal of ashes or lighted ends from cigarettes.
When it is desired to dump the ashes and stubs into the receptacle, the ring 29 is lifted above the top of the receiver suiciently to draw lugs 30 from engaging relation with the extensions on the closure plates. These plates will then tilt, since the main portion of each plate is substantially larger and heavier than the extension, permitting matter held thereon to fall into the receiver, as shown in Fig. 5.
The various parts shown in the drawing are preferably pressed or spun from sheet metal, although it is intended that glass, molded phenol condensates, and other materials-may be used if desired. It is apparent that the receiver comprises but few parts, all of which are easily fabricated, thus permitting its manufacture at little expense and with few operations. The embodiment shown in the drawing is merely illustrative of a preferred arrangement, and it is intended that the invention be susceptible of modification.
