CIGARETTE AND GIGAR EXTINGUISHING DEVICE Jan. 2, 1940.
Filed March 2, 1938 Patented Jan. 2, 1940 UNITED STATES PATENT oFElcE ansatz CIGARETTE AND crean ExTINGUIsmNG DEVICE This invention relates in general to cigarette and cigar extinguishing devices, and more in particular to devices oi this character in which a pressing member may be operated to squeeze the 5 burning ends of cigarettes and cigars and which include means for discarding the butts in an ash receptacle.4
The discarding of lighted cigarettes creates a very dangerous fire hazard, and also causes considerable unnecessary smoke and odor when the lighted cigarettes are placed in an open ash tray without smothering.
It is one of the objects of this invention therefore to. provide a small economical extinguishing device that can be used with any type of ash tray for quickly squeezing the burning ends of cigarettes and cigars to extinguish them.
Another object is to provide an extinguishing device that automatically ejects cigarettes and D cigar butts into an ash tray after squeezing the ends of the lighted butts.
Other objects and advantages of this invention will appear from the following description and by the claims appended thereto, reference being had Il to the accompanying drawing, in which:
Figure 1 is a front elevation of the extinguishing device showing a number of parts with portions cut away. v
Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view taken ap- N proximately on line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 shows a detachable support.
In the drawing, 4 represents the frame',`having pivoted near the base pressing members or levers l and 6. The levers 5 and 6 lare shown pivoted 38 on separate axes, but may be pivoted together on a common axis, or one of the levers may be stationary or a part of the frame. Each lever is extended inwardly for a portion of its length so that the projected surfaces will form a wedge .all shaped opening of such size that it will hold a lighted cigarette or cigar when inserted with a slight pressure, the wide gap in the levers above 'Ihe butt is ejected by the action of the ejecting member or bar III, which is pivoted in a direc-v tion transverse to that of the levers near the top of frame 4 and extends preferably down below the small wedge shaped opening between the levers. This ejecting bar I may be manually operated by pressure near the top in a transverse direction to that of levers and 6, or as shown in the drawing, it may be automatically operated thru the action of the arm II, secured to lever i 6 at its axis, and the small spring wire clip I, secured to the upper part of ejecting bar III. The arm I'I passes over clip I2, when lever 5 is moved toward lever 6, and under the clip I2 when returning to normal, thereby forcing the ejecting l0 bar III between the levers -5 and 6. The return to i normal of bar I0 is controlled through the action of spring I3 and stop I4, and the distance oftravel of bar I0 is limited by the lug I5 contactingthe top of the frame 4. l5
It is desirable in certain instances to provide some method for closing the opening at the side I of the pressing members opposite the ejecting bar so that the lighted butts may'be dropped in the device without falling out and also to prevent the ejector bar from throwing the butts outward too far. To accomplish this feature, the closing plate I6 is supported opposite the ejecting bar AIII by rod I1 which is iixedly secured to the lower extremities of the bar I0 and plate I6 whereby any movement of the bar I0 will likewise cause the closin plate I6 to follow. The plate I6 is shown i\ a partially operated position by the dotted iinesj The upper portion of frame is bent over, as $0 shown in Figure 2, toform al support for hanging the device on a match box or for placing it in certain types of ash trays.
The small disk support I8, which may be part of the frame or welded thereto, is preferably l5 secured to the base by a screw as shown so that it can be easily detached. By the use' of this disk support the device will set in an upright position inside of an ash tray. In Figure 3 there is shown a small pin support which may be screwed 40 into the under side of frame I in place of support Il, in order to adapt the device to fit certain other types of ash trays.
It is obvious that the extinguishing device may take a variety of other shapes or forms without departing from the essential principles thereof. Therefore I do not desire to be limited to the particular form shown herein, but contemplate all modifications and changes therein, within the terms of the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
