Application July 11, 1935, Serial No. 81,791
1 Claim. (cl. 131-151) I i opposite sides of which serve as a wall for the adjacent chamber, said chambers being formed in a shape other than cylindrical so that the A further object is to provide a tray of this character that may be easily moulded in a single I piece and that will be ornamentalin appearance. Referring to the drawing which forms a part of this specification, L
Fig. 1 is ayplan view of a tray construction disclosing cells triangular in form, and also providing a dish-like receptacle for ashes'etc.
Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Figure 1. Fig. 3 is a fragmental sectional view disclosing the form of one of the dividing walls of a cell, taken on line 3-3 of Figure 1- I prefer to make the trays of glass or bakelite, but they may be made of any suitable material.
The tray III is preferably made with a flat bottom ll so that the cells I! willbe of equal depth and the bottom of uniform thickness under the cells, so that when cast of glass the glass will not crack in cooling.
4o The tray may be made edges of the cell walls II extending in a plane below the surface l4 and are preferably formed with narrow rounded top edges as illustrated at ll in Figure 3.
In any event they are formed with narrow top with a rim M, the'top' edges so that ashes will not lodge thereon but will fall into the cells.
The dotted lines forming the circle l8 indicate 7 the diameter of a cigarette to illustrate the relative size of a cell inwhich it rests, the drawing being made on a full size scale.
A lighted cigarette placed in a cell with its burning end in contact with the bottom thereof is soon extinguished by the carbon dioxide generated and held in the cell, thus excluding the oxygen of the air required for combustion.
As clearly illustrated, a considerable number of cigarettes may be snuffed before it is necessary to empty the tray, and the tray is easily emptied since there are no overhanging parts to obstruct the removal of the refuse therefrom.
Having thus described my invention I claim as new:' i i i A tray of the character described formed to .provide a circular bottom wall and an upstanding marginal annular wall, a vertical partition wall extending across the bottom wall between portions of the annular wall substantially at the transverse median line of the tray, a segmentshaped block integral with the bottom and annular wall with the straight side of the segmentshaped block spaced from and parallel to the partition wall and defining an elongated recess, a relatively thin zig-zag wall in the recess between the segment-shaped block and partitton wall and integral with said block and wall, said zig-zag wall forming a plurality of cells triangular in plan view with opposite sides of each section of the aig-zag wall forming a wall of adjacent cells, said cells having a depth greater than the diameter of a cigarette, the circle circumscribed by each of the triangular contours having a diameter sufllciently greater than the diameter of a cigarette whereby an adjacent wall may support a cigarette at an acute angle relative to the vertical median line through a cell and said triangular cells being operative to reduce the amount of air admitted to the bottom thereof for positive-
