Description
Patented Nov. 29, 1949 g ASH RECEPTACLE 4 *Jbhn'Vi'ssen Grand Rapids, 'Mich., ass'gnor ,to
-of Michigan Mich., a corperation V 4 Application ,August 12, 1943,, Serial No.-.43,;ao
This invention relates to a receptacle of the type used for containing ashes, cigarettes, etc., in a Vehicle and more particularly to the detachable retention of an ash box of a receptacle of the foregoing type.
An Object of this invention is to provide a Simplified form of resilient means for detachably retaining the removable ash box in an ash receptacle structure.
Another Object of this invention is to provide yieldable means in an ash receptacle assembly for holding the ash box against rattling and which can be readily deflected to permit removal of the ash box when it is desired to empty the same.
In accordance with the general features of this invention there is provided in a receptacle structure a recessed wall having an Opening for receiving a removable ash box in the lower part thereof with the open upper end of the box accessible through the upper portion of the wall Opening; the box having a depression in an end thereof and the wall having a spring secured thereto with a hump projecting through a slot in the wall for detachable yieldable engagement in the depression to retain the box in the Opening.
Other objects and features of this invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of the accompanying drawings which illustrate a single embodiment thereof and in which:
Figure 1 is a front view of my novel ash box assembly showing it applied to a panel which is illustrated by broken lines;
Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view taken on the line II-II of Figure 1 looking in the direction indicated by the arrows; and
Figure 3 is a fragmentary end view of the structure shown in Figure 2 and illustrating the spring for yieldably retaining the box in the wall Opening of my assembly.
As shown on the drawings:
The reference character m designates generally any supporting panel or member having mounted in it a recessed or dished wall H which defines an ash box receiving Opening |2 of a generally rectangular shape. This wall Il may be permanently secured by any suitable means (not shown) to the supporting panel lil.
Detachably mounted to the bottom of the wall Opening 12 is a removable ash box 13, the upper end of which is iormed open and is normally covered by a lid M suitably hinged to the back of the box. This lid M is adapted to be moved upwardly and rearwardly in the wall Opening |2 to 2 the dotted line |4 so as to afiord access to the interior of the box for the disposing of materials such as matches, ashes, cigarettes, etc., therein.
It is, of course, clear that the lid |4 could be dispensed With in which event the top of the box would at all times be open. The box |3 has its end walls provided with vertical groove-like depressions l5-l5 which may be made identical. One or both of these depressions, if desired, may be engaged by a resilient spring |6 for detachably and yieldably holding the box in the Opening 12. It should be noted that while I have illustrated only one of these Springs at the right hand end of the box, another one could be used at the left hand end in which event the spring structure would be identical to that which I shall now describe.
The spring e is preferably made of any suitable springy material such, for example, as spring steel and is generally of an L-shape with a rear leg IT overlapping the back of the wall I and held in place by converging prongs |8-|8 struck up from the back of the wall. These prongs I8 engage in notches l9-l9 in side edges of the leg l'l to firmly attach the spring i6 to the back of the wall H.
The other leg 20 of the spring extends forwardly along an end of the wall toward the front of the receptacle and is provided with a humped extremity 2l. This humped extremity 2| projects through a slot 22 in the side or end of the wall l so as to engage in the right hand depression |5 of the box. It should be noted that the box may be made of any suitable material such, for example, as sheet steel or the like.
As noted before a Similar spring lt can be used at the other end of the box if the same is so desired. However, I find that satisfactory results may also be obtained by providing the other end of the wall i i with an inwardly proj ecting vertical rib 25 arranged to engage in the right hand depression 15 of the box.
If it is so desired, the back of the wall may be provided with a plurality of vertical ribs 24 and 26 for engaging the back of the box to hold the box spaced from the back of the wall in the interior of the wall Opening |2.
In the mounting of the box |3 in the wall opening, it is first aligned with the lower portion of the wall Opening and then is pushed rearwardly into the Opening. This results in the rib 25 entering the left hand depression |5 and the spring hump Z being snapped into the right hand depression, thus yieldably holding the box under tension in the Opening. The box may be easily removed from the Opening for the emptying of the same by the operator manually engaging the top of the box and pulling it outwardly.
From the foregoing it is clear that I have provided a very simple and inexpensive Way of yieldably holding an ash box in an ash receptacle assembly of a general type such as is now so extensively used in automobiles and other Vehicles.
I claim as my invention:
In combination in an ash receptacle structure, a recessed wall member having an opening, an ash box removably received in said opening, a side wall of said ash box having a depression therein, the wall member having a slot therein registering with said depression, converging tabs on said wall member, and a leaftype spring having notched edges interengaged retainingly with said tabs and having a humped REFERENCES CITED The following references are of record in the file of this patent:
