CIGARETTE EXTINGUISHER AND ASH TRAY Filed Feb. 26, 1945 Patented Nov. 2, I948 TENT oer-ICE CIGARETTE EXTINGUISHEB AND'ASH. Robert M. Maney, ()klahonia city. Okla. Application February 26, 1945, Serial N0.. 579, 1 78 1 This invention relates to l a combination ash tray and extinguisher for cigarettes.
Among the objects of the invention are to pro* vide a simple and practicalmeans for quickly extinguishing a cigarette, so as to prevent it from continuing to smoke, and for containing ashesand butts so that theywill be completely concealed. r
In order that the invention may be readilyunderstood, reference is, hadto the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification and in which:
Fig. 1 isaplan View of one form of my improved extinguisher and ash tray1..,-- q
Fig. 2 isva vertical longitudinal section, substantially on the line 2-2 of Fig. .1, looking in the direction of the. arrows. 1 l Fig. 3 is a transverse section substantially on the line, 33. of Fig. 1, looking in the direction of the arrows, and showing in dotted lines the position to which the parts can be moved.
Fig. 4 is a plan view showing a modified construction, and
Fig. 5 is a longitudinal section substantially on the line 5-5 of Fig. 4, looking in the direction of the arrows.
Referring to the drawing in detail, and more particularly first to Figs. 1-3 thereof, my improved ash tray comprises a receptacle or container I, shown as of substantially rectangular form, and of a length at least equal to that of a cigarette. Secured, to one end of this receptacle may be a match holder 2.
A horizontal shaft 3 extends longitudinally across the top of the receptacle and is supported at one end in bearings 4, and at the other end in a notch 5 formed in the upper edge of the receptacle. This shaft has'secured to one end a knob 6, or the like, by which it may be rotated.
Rigidly secured to this shaft, as by soldering or welding, is a cover plate I. As shown in Fig. 1, this plate fits snugly within the upper edge or top of the receptacle 1, and may be tilted or reversed by turning the shaft 3 by means of the knob 6. The shaft 3 is so positioned as to substantially bise-ct the cover plate, whereby such cover plate would be substantially balanced on the shaft.
Set into and extending through the cover plate at one side of the shaft are one or more funnels 8. In the particular embodiment illustrated, four of such funnels are shown. They are preferably of inverted conical shape, extending through openings in the plate I, being located partly below and partly above such plate.
40mins. (c1. 231-235 lower small: end of each. of these fuimels op as shown at 9,,but this opening issubstanti. smaller than the diameter of. a. cigarette, so that a cigarette will not pass through the-same.
In use, when it is desired to extin uish a-ciiga rette, it. is simply dropped, into. one of these funnels. so that the. lighted end. enters. the lower portion thereof. Bjy reason of: being-1 closely confined in the lower portion of. the tunnel the cigarette i-syquiclely extinguished, and the loose sashes fall. down through the. opening. :95 to the racemtacle i1. Itisintende'dtha-t the. cigaretterbes'implyplaced lightly in theiunnel without any pushing or forcing. Thus, not having: been: mashed or defer-med any ittmaybe removed from thefunnelyand relightedl asyoiten asdesired. the other handpwhen only a. short butt .remaina, the cover may: besw-ung on the, shaft. into;re.- versed, position, as shown in Fig. 3, so that the butt is dumped into the receptacle.
It will be understood that the weight of funnels 3 serves to unbalance the cover plate and tends to rotate it about the axis of the shaft.
' Suitable stops II are, however, provided to support the cover in a substantial horizontal position, and the weight of the funnels serves to maintain the cover plate in engagement with the steps.
In addition, if desired, I may place a small spring 12 around the shaft 3, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, such spring being anchored at one end to the shaft, and at the other end to the receptacle, as indicated atfl3. This spring is constructed to urge the cover plate against the stops II, as will be understood.
At the side of the shaft 3, opposite the funnels 8, the cover plate is preferably shaped to form a trough or holder in, in which cigarettes may be placed.
In Figs. 4 and 5, I have illustrated a somewhat modified construction. In this construction the cover plate 1 is provided with openings [4. Beneath each of these openings is disposed a funnel,
divided longitudinally into two separable sections I6, l'l, each of these sections being independently pivoted at its upper end on blocks I5, as indicated at I8 in Fig. 5.,
These pivoted sections are resiliently urged toward each other bymeans of springs l9, surrounding pins 20 and 2| carried respectively by one of the sections and a post 22 depending from the cover plate,'such springs being interposed between the funnel sections and such posts.
With such a construction, a cigarette butt, as
indicated at :c in Fig. 5, may be inserted through the one of the openings [4 into the divided funnel beneath the same, and, after being extinguished as above explained, may be pushed on down through the funnel into the receptacle, the pivoted sections of the funnel yielding laterally so as to permit the cigarette to pass through, as illustrated in Fig. 5.
What I claim is:
1. In an ash tray and cigarette extinguisher, the combinationwith a receptacle, of a one piece cover therefor pivotally supported to swing about a horizontal axis extending across the middle thereof, and a vertically disposed funnel carried by said cover at one side of said axis and having its lower open end substantially smaller than the diameter of a cigarette, so that when a lighted cigarette is placed therein, it will be supported and extinguished, and the ashes only will pass through.
2. In an ash tray, the combination with a receptacle, of a cover disposed within and substantially closing the top thereof, said cover being pivotally supported to swing about a horizontal axis extending acres the middle thereof, an open funnel carried by said cover at one side of said axis and constituting a weight unbalancing said cover so that it tends to turn about said axis, and a stop for normally maintaining said. cover in horizontal position.
3. In an ash tray, the combination with a receptacle, of a cover disposed within and substantially closing the top thereof, said cover being pivotally supported to swing about a horizontal axis extending across the middle thereof, an open funnel carried by said cover at one side of said axis, and said cover, at the other side of said axis being shaped to provide a cigarette-receiving trough extending parallel with said axis, and means for normally maintaining said cover in horizontal position.
4. In an ash tray, the combination with a re ceptacle, of a cover disposed within and substantially closing the top thereof, said cover being pivotally supported to swing about a horizontal axis extending across the middle thereof, said cover having an opening, a funnel carried by said cover in alignment with said opening, said funnel com-- ROBERT M.
