Patented 'May 23,- 1939 UNITED. STATES PATENT OFFICE ASH aaonrvmc' comma John Visser, Grand Rapids, Mich.
Application April 4, 1935, Serial No. 14,619 mom a. (c1. zoo-19.5)
The instant invention relates to ash receiving containers. and more particularly to such devices as are especially adapted for insertion within and removal from an Opening within an interior wall 5 of a motor vehicle.
The present invention is of the general char acter illustrated and described in my copending application, Serial No. 13,690, filed March 29,
1935, but is an improvement thereover in certain 10 respects hereinafter appearing.v
The primary objects of the invention are to provide a device of the character above indimeans formaintainingthecontainer within its g opening,--said spring. tensioned means -likewise providing a, snufler;-forcigarettes and cigars;
and, to provide such a device whichnisattractive in appearance, economical in manufacture and utilitarian in use.
v 30 'An illustrative.-embodimentof the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, where- 1 Figure 1 is avertical central sectional view of the device on line I'.l of Figure 3;v 35 Figure 2 is .afront elevational view thereof showing the container inopen positionp v Figure 3 is a rear elevational view thereof with theoontainer in closed'positipn; f
' Figure 4, isle-sectional;view on line H of Figure 5 is aside el vation! view or the device tiltedlto open position, I the manner of inserting the container portion of the devicefwithin the 45 opening'of'the sup ortingg plate beingindic'ated in dotted lines.
Referring to the drawings wherein like "parts of the device and its mountingsupportithere shown are designated by the same numerals. in 50 the several views, a supporting plate l li such as the dashpanel of a rnotor vehicleis provided with an opening ll therein formed therethrough.
Secured to the rear wall of the supporting plate i as by screw" threaded'bolts I2 is a hood havj 55 ing a canopy'portion' ll and depending side porsnufler. I turned contacting portion 21 is further provided with a transverse slot 30 therethrough adapted tions it whose marginal edges l are flanged laterally.
A. spring member I6 is spot welded or otherwise secured below the canopy portion in any suitable manner and is provided with a rib l1 5 whose purpose and function is hereinafter more particularly set forth and described. This spring member i6 is further provided with a depending struck-out portion l8 forming a stop whose purpose and function will likewise hereinafter 10 more fully appear. I
A container for the reception of the ashes and the like comprises a front portion IS, a bottom 20, a rear portion 2| and two side portions 22 in spaced relation to each other and disposed 16 between the front and rear portions l9, II of the container, all of said portions being preferably of stamped sheet metal.
Secured to the under surface of the bottom member 20 is a pair of depending arms 23 to 20 which is secured a transverse member here shown as a rod 24 spaced from and disposed in parallelism with the bottom portion 20 of the container, which rod 24 is adapted to be hingedly seated within a pair of upwardly extending spaced 25 hook members 25 disposed below the bottom edge and between the side edges of the opening H of the supporting plate llland fixed securely to the plate III to form fulcrums for the tiltable container, all as best shown in Figure 1 wherein 3 the container is shown in closed position and I as shown in Figure 5 wherein the container has been tilted toopen position. I
A spring member 26 secured to the outer or rear surface of the rear portion 2| of the container as by spot welding is provided with an upwardly-forwardly-downwardly turned contacting portion 21 whose further forwardly extending portion. is provided with an 'apertured depressed well 29 which provides a finger hold for 40 manual depression of the spring member 26 when it is desired to remove the container'from the opening fore'mptying the contents thereof. This portion will also serve as ,a cigar and cigarette This upwardly-forwardly-downwardly to be engaged by the struck-out portion l8 when the device is tilted forwardly to open" position and forminga stop limiting the opening tilting 5 movement of the container as best shown in Figure 5, the rib l1 engaging said slot":30 when the container is tilted to closed position as best shownin Figure 1 'to'prevent rattling of the container w'ithin its supportingplate opening.
The front portion IQ of the container is preferably provided with an ornamental face plate 3| which is secured thereto by the knob 32 adapting the device for tilting movement within the opening ll of the supporting plate or dash panel l0.
In operation the rod 24 is seated on the hooks 25 on the inside of the opening II of the supporting plate III, as best shown in Figure 5, and since the member is flexible, the container may be tilted to closed position with the depression of the member 26 as'shown in Figure 1, whereupon it may be subsequently tilted forwardly for use but its withdrawal from its opening is prevented by the struck-out portion l8 engaging the slot 30. When however it is desired to remove the container from its opening for the purpose of emptying its contents, the actuating portion 28 may be manually depressed to disengage the struck-out portion l8 from its slot 30 whereupon the container may be removed as indicated in dotted lines in Figure 5.
The container portion alone with a front ornamental panel, a spring member and a hinge mounting is often sold as a completed unit ready for insertion in a stationary panel having a suitable opening therein and suitable lateral portions supported adjacent thereto.
It will 'thus be seen that the device herein shown and described may be readily inserted and seated within and conveniently removed from the opening in -the supporting plate and that the device is economical in manufacture, attractive in appearance and utilitarian in use.
