Description
Aug. 30, 1949.
.1. w. TURULls "EXTINGUISHER FOR ASH TRAYS Filed Nov. 9, 1948 Patented Aug. 30, 1949 s- Par EN-T j 1 claim. (o1. isi-si .il This invention relates to an extiir'guishr'fo'r ash"I tiajys, a'nd" is`"rnore particularly concerned with the provision of an extinguisher formed with one or more chambers open at their upper ends to 'receive and extinguish ythe 'lighted'ends `vision of an extinguisher formed with cigarette extinguishing chambers disposed above the bas of-an ashtray, the outer1 marginal wall of the chambers being defined by a sleev' which is removable to`r permit extinguished" cigarette'v butts to fall'downwardly by gravity into bowl 'or'tray portion of the ashtray. In the preferred form of construction', the Vremovabl'e sleeve is formed cylindrical to snugly encl'o'ia''educed upstandingV portionA provided o'n'' standard prjeting upwardly from the base of the ash tray, the upstanding post portion being formed Iwith a plurality of radially disposed ribs for enclosure by the removable sleeve member to define cigarette extinguishing chambers which are open only at their upper ends.
This invention further contemplates the provision of an extinguisher provided with an upstanding post portion formed with one or more grooves, the walls of which extend downwardly and then slope outwardly to terminate adjacent the lower edge of the removable tubular member, whereby the lighted ends of cigarettes are flattened and quickly extinguished when inserted downwardly into a cigarette extinguishing chamber. Upon removal of the sleeve member from the upstanding post portion, any extinguished cigarette butts disposed within said chambers are adapted to fall downwardly and outwardly by gravity from the grooves formed in the upstanding post portion.
As ash trays must be thoroughly cleaned after use to remove cigarette stains and odors, the present invention contemplates the provision of an ash tray having an extinguisher in which the cigarette extinguishing chambers are defined between a removable sleeve and the grooves formed in the upstanding post portion. When the sleeve member is removed from the post portion, it is a. relatively simple operation to thoroughly clean the tubular sleeve and the walls of the grooves formed in the upstanding post portion. In the preferred form of construction, the ash tray and the upstanding post portion are formed of glass to facilitate cleaning, while the sleeve member is preferably formed of metal, such as aluminum. By forming the sleeve member of aluminum, or other metal having high conductivity of heat,
Y2 tnefligntd ends'o'f the cigarettes-are quickness tinguished after' insertion into f the z`'cig'aiett ex-Y tinguishing chambers bythe'rapid transfiff heat inem aV cigarette to' thesieveineiber.
This f invention further contemplates the-pre1A vison?y of extinguisher which? is* rela ve simple" `and" inexpensive in* ostuctio an f which insures ftheuse'againstfsmldriigicigi rettes" and resultant' haardwhen-figlitd" cigarette butts are: insertedintoI the-cigaretteextinguish'ingchambers? Y 'rhisemveritinn embodies `other r-ovi ifeatafs; details offconstfruticn and arrangement" of'partis whichare hereinafter stfrthlinthspeif ai tion: and claim and illustrated-inthe aciny ing' drawing; wherein: I f
Figi i isla tcp-pIan'viewilistrating-fanash tray embodying* features; of' the* present invie' tion. l
Fig. 2 is a side elevational view of same.
Fig. 3 is a sectional View taken along the line 3-3 of Fig. l, illustrating the manner in which the lighted ends of cigarettes are crimped and quickly extinguished when inserted into a cigarette extinguishing chamber.
Fig. 4 is a side elevational view of the upstanding post portion of the extinguisher with the tubular member removed therefrom, to show the manner in which extinguished cigarette butts fall by gravity from the recesses formed in the upstanding post portion downwardly into the tray portion of the ash tray.
Referring now to the drawing for a better understanding of this invention, the device is shown as comprising an ash and cigarette stub receptacle 6 which may be formed of any desired size or shape and of any suitable material, such as glass, metal, plastic or the like. Projecting up- Wardly from the interior of the receptacle 6 is provided a standard l having a reduced upstanding portion 8 to receive a sleeve 9 which is preferably formed of aluminum or other metal having high heat-conducting properties. A plurality of radially disposed ribs H are formed on the reduced upstanding portion 8 to define recesses I2. When the sleeve 9 is mounted in position upon the reduced upstanding portion 8, the Walls of each recess l2 and the inner surface 0f the sleeve 9 define cigarette extinguishing chambers i3 to receive the lighted ends of cigarettes. As illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4, it will be noted that the wall of each recess slopes outwardly at i4 toward the inner face of the sleeve 9.
When the lighted end of a cigarette I6 is inserted downwardly into one of the chambers I3,
which the extinguished cigarettes I6 are removed from the cigarette extinguishing chambers I3. This is accomplished by merely raising the'sleeve 9 from its position on the reduced upstanding K portion II to permit the cigarette butt-s to fall outwardly and downwardly by gravity from their recesses I2 and into any suitable container, such as the cigarette stub receptacle 6. Upon removalV of the sleeve 9, it will be noted that all surfaces exposed jto contact with cigarettes and'ashes may readily be cleanedto remove stains or cig'- aretteodors.
While the invention has been shown and described as embodying a reduced upstanding'portion formed with radially disposed ribs enclosed by a cylindrical sleeve, itis contemplated that the sleeve Smay be square, rectangular, or other shape in cross-section to 'define cigarette extinguishing chambers on an upstanding post formed with trough-shaped recesses. While it is contemplated that this invention may be embodied in various forms, it is desirable that the cigarette receiving chambers I3 should 'be formed to snugly receive the lighted ends of cigarettes in order to exclude air. An abutment shoulder II is provided `at the inner end of the reduced portion 8 for line contacting engagement with the sleeve.
While this invention has been shown in but one form, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that it is not so limited but is susceptible of various changes and modications without departing from the spirit and scope of the claimed invention.
I claim as my invention:
In an article of the character described, a standard formed with a reduced upstanding portion, a sleeve removably positioned on said reduced upstanding portion, said reduced portion being formed with a groove to define with said sleeve a cigarette extinguishing chamber to snugly receive the lighted end of a cigarette, the wall of said groove being inclined outwardly toward and terminating at the inner face of said sleeve to flatten the lighted end of a cigarette inserted into said chamber to extinguish the cigarette and to cause the cigarette to fall from said groove by gravity upon removal of said sleeve from said reduced portion.
