Description
J. W. BUHLER ASHTRAY March 26, 1940.
Filed Aug. 1, 1958 Patented Mar. 26, 1940 UNITED STATES PATENT fl oFF|c-s 2 Claims.
My invention relates to ashtrays, and has among its salient objects: To provide an ashtray to receive cigarettes, cigars and the like in such a way that not only the ashes will fall into the tray, but that as the cigarette -or cigar burns, if it falls from the support, it will fall into the tray, the sides of said'ash tray being higher than the end portions thereof and higher than the cross supports therein to. receive and support the hot end of the cigaretteor cigar; To provide an ash tray which can be formed ormoulded of light material, and provided with one or more supporting cross members in the interior thereof, with the sides of said tray, at the ends of the supporting cross members extended above such supports, so that it will not be possible to laya. cigarette with oneend onthe side and the other end on the supporting cross member at an angle to the longitudinal dimension thereof, but will have to be placed with one end of the cigarette on one of the end walls and the other end thereof on the cross member, below the upper edge of the side walls of said tray; to provide an ash tray having its side wall suiliciently high that when a cigarette or cigar is placed thereon as intended, any article laid thereon will not engage the cigarette or cigar, but will be supported above it by the side walls thereof, thus tending to eliminate danger of setting fire to or damaging anything which might be accidentally placed upon or over said ash tray.
In order to describe my invention in detail, I have illustrated the same on the accompanying sheet of drawings in which Figure 1 is a top plan view, looking down into an ash tray embodying my invention;
Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional viewthereof taken on line 22 of Fig. 1; and
Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view taken on line 33, of Fig. 1'. a
My invention as here shown for descriptive purposes, comprises a tray body having the bottom 4, turned up at its opposite ends, as at 5, 5, to form the end walls of the tray and the end supports for a cigarette, and having two opposite sides 6, 6, extended above the ends and preferably rounded from one end to the other, as clearly shown in Fig. 2 of the drawing.
On the inner sides of said side walls 6, 6, are thickened portions, as 6', 6', and in the top edges of these thicker portions of said side walls, are slots'or recesses, I, Ladapted to receive the opposite ends of two cross members or supports, 8, 8, the upper edges of which are shown provided with cigarette-receiving recesses, as 8, 8'. It will be noted that these cross supporting members 8, 8, are slightly lower than the opposite end walls 5, 5, so that as a cigarette is placed thereon, as indicated by thelight broken line position, it will be slightly inclined downwardly toward the middle of the tray.
'It will also be noted that the opposite sides 6, 6, extend considerably above the body of the cigarette, when in place, and that the cigarette is thus partially protected thereby.
The cross supporting members 8, 8, fit remov- 1o ably into the recesses 8', 8', and can be removed as a convenience in cleaning the 'tray, when desired.
When a cigarette is properly placed, the greater part thereof is within the area of the 15 tray and should the lighted end burn back beyond the supporting member, the cigarette would fall into the tray, and if the cigarette is too short to reach from the end wall 5 to the support, it can be placed across the two support- 20 ing members.
I do not, however, limit my invention to the details shown except as I may be limited by the hereto appended claims.
I claim:
1. An ashtray of the character shown and 25 described and consisting of an integral moulded body having two opposite parallel sides having their upper edges arched from end to end, a bottom turned up at its, opposite ends to form end walls merging with the ends of said side 30 walls below the arched portions of said side walls, and a cross member seated at its opposite ends in the inner faces of said side members midway between the bottom and the top of the arched sides, whereby cigarettes and cigars can be rested 35 on the end walls and said cross member, but not on the edges of said arched sides, said arched high sides'forming a guard above the article and the upper edges of said end walls. v
2. An ashtray of integral moulded material and consisting of straight, parallel side wall portions arched from end to end, a bottom portion having its opposite ends turned upwardly and terminating at the opposite ends of the arched portions of said side members, two supporting cross members provided with seats in their upper edgesand having their opposite ends seated in the inner faces of the side walls below the arched edges and slightly below the upper edges of the end walls, whereby cigarettes can be rested on the end walls and said cross members in an inwardly and downwardly inclined position below the arched upper sides, but not on the edges of said arched sides, whereby said side walls form 55 guards above the cigarettes placed therebetween upon the end walls and said cross members.
