4 Claims.
This invention relates to ash receivers for smokers use, and its general object is to provide a receiver of a novelty type, in that it includes a substantially spherical body which in one'form of the receiver, has a representation of the geography of the world thereon, or in other words is a globe, and surrounding the body is a troughlike ash receiving tray upon which can be placed advertising matter, preferably having some reference regarding encircling the globe.
[A further object is to provide an ash receiver including a hollow substantially spherical body that is weighted at the bottom, in order for the device to have stable equilibrium, so that it will return to a normal upright position when tilted, thus eliminating spilling of the contents, and the body may provide a container for ashes or a housing for a package of cigarettes.
Another object is to provide a smokers article of the character set forth, that is simple in construction, attractive in appearance, inexpensive to manufacture and extremely efficient in use and service.
This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and. specifically pointed out in the appended claims.
In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of one form of my device.
Figure 2 is a top plan view thereof.
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken approximately on line 33 of Figure 2.
Figure 4 is a vertical sectional view of the upper section of the device and is taken at right angles to Figure 3.
Figure 5 is a similar view of the lower section.
Figure 6 is a side elevation of a modified form.
Figure 7 is a sectional view taken approximately on. line 1-1 of Figure 6.
Figure 8 is a top plan view of Figur 6.
Figure 9 is a vertical sectional view taken through the tray forming member.
Referring to the drawings in detail, and particularly to the form of Figures 1 to 5, it will be noted that it includes a hollow substantially spherical body divided substantially equally and horizontally to provide separable upper and lower sections l and 2 respectively, and the body has a representation of the geography of the world thereon, as clearly shown in Figures 1 and 2. The lower section is formed with a marginal upstanding flange 3 about its upper edge, and which extends from the inner face thereof, so that the said edge forms a shoulder 4 to cooperate with the flange to provide a seat for the lower edge portion of the upper section l. The upper section may frictionally fit the flange to prevent casual removal or displacement thereof relative to the lower section but for that purpose, I preferably provide teats 5 formed on and extending outwardly from diametrically opposite sides of the flange and which are mounted in bayonet type depressions 8 formed in the upper section and opening through the lower edge thereof, as best shown in Figure 4.
Formed on and surrounding the uppersection adjacent to the lower edge thereof is the bottom wall 1 of an annular ash tray'forming member that includes a marginal beaded outer wall 8 rising from the bottom wall at an outward inclination and the adjacent wall portion of the upper section provides the inner wall for the tray. The wall 8 may have advertising matter on the outer face thereof, as indicated in Figure 1, and the advertising matter preferably makes some reference to encircling the globe.
The upper portion of the upper section is formed with a pair of parallel arranged rounded channels 9 that provide seats or rests for cigarettes or the like. Suitably fixed within and to the bottom portion of the lower section is a weight l0 having a substantially convexed bottom face to follow the shape of the bottom portion which in the form shown is provided with a relatively small flat base H to cooperate with the Weight to support the device in a normal upright position. The upper face of the weight is flat. The weight also gives the device stable equilibrium, so that it will automatically return to a normal upright position when tilted, it being understood that the body rests directly upon a fiat surface, such as a table top or the like.
Secured to the upper face of the weight by a screw I2 or the like is a pair of substantially U shaped members 53 and M respectively that are formed from resilient sheet material and are disposed at right angles to each other to provide a frame like receptacle for a package A of cigarettes. The member i3 is longer than member M so that the respective upstanding flanges thereof are disposed to clampingly engage the outer vertical side walls of a cigarette package of elongated cross section.
The form of ash receiver shown in Figures 6 to 9 is similar in many respects to the form of ash receiver shown in Figures 1 to 5, in that it includes a hollow substantially spherical body 15 which is made up of separable upper and lower substantially semispherical sections l6 and I! respectively. A marginal upstanding flange I8 is formed on and about the upper edge of the lower section to receive the lower edge portion of the upper section. Teats I 9 extend outwardly from diametrically opposite sides of the flange l3, and are mounted. in bayonet type depressions 25 formed in the upper section and opening through the lower edge thereof, to detachably secure the sections together.
The ash receiving tray member of this form is detachably secured to the upper section adjacent to the lower edge thereof and in surrounding relation therewith, and for that purpose the annular bottom wall 2! of said member is formed with an upstanding flange 22 about the inner peripher thereof. The flange 22 is transversely curved to follow the vertical curvature of the upper section, so that the flange will snugly fit the same. The flange 22 is provided with diametrically opposed bayonet-type depressions 23 which have mounted therein teats 24 formed on and extending outwardly from the upper section, as shown in Figure 7. The tray member also includes an outwardly inclined outer wall 25 hav ing a beaded upper edge, and the adjacent wall portion of the upper section provides the inner wall for the tray.
fiuitably fixed in the bottom portion of the lower section ll is a weight 26 to return the device of this form to a normal upright position when tilted. The bottom portion of the lower section, 87: is provided with a relatively small flat base 2?.
The body 65 of this form provides an ash receptacle and in order to introduce or drop ashes, burnt portions of cigarettes and the like therein, the upper section is provided with a pair of openings disposed upon opposite sides of the top thereof and in alignment with each other, as best shown in Figure 8. The openings include relatively wide upper portions 28 and narrow elongated slot like lower portions 25. The lower portions 29 are primarily designed to act as supporting means for cigarettes, as will be apparent from Figure 7, which illustrates a cigarette 3 extending through a portion 29 and resting upon the bottom wall thereof and the upper edge of the wall 25 of the tray. The portions 29 are of a width for a cigarette to snugly fit therein, without damaging the cigarette, and so that the latter will be held. against casual removal or displacement, as will be apparent.
The upper portion of the upper section is formed with a pair of parallel arranged rounded channels 35] extending between the upper edges of the openings, and the channels 30 provide seats or rests for cigarettes, as shown.
It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.
It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.
