CIGARETTE REST Filed NOV. 1, 1947 INYE/V TOR) Patented ct. i7,
UNITED. I STATES F F J CE 2,526,488 v CIGARETTE itiisri 7 .ihon Laichee,-Toronto, Ontario, Canada app ic tion November 1, 191%, 'Serial 783,505
Themainob'ject of 'the'invention is toprovide a convenient and safedpository for alighted cigarette or cigar whereby it will be firmly gripped and held suspended above the ash receiving part of the tray, and which W111 act to extinguish the cigarette or cigar when it has burned to a given point.
The invention consists in the novel features of construction, arrangements and combinations of parts described in the present specification and more particularly pointed out in the claim for novelty following.
In describing the invention reference will be made to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of an ash tray embodying my invention.
Figure 2 is a central vertical sectional view through the structure shown in Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a central sectional view through a modified form of structure.
Like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the various figures.
Referring to the drawings I indicates a shallow receptacle, or bowl, which may be of any desired design and which is provided with a narrow peripheral rim 2 adapted to be used in lifting the device but preferably being too narrow to provide a safe support for a cigarette.
3 is a bracket consisting of a flat metal strap bent equi-distant from each of its ends to provide a centrally disposed fiat portion 4 of a length considerably less than the diameter of the ash receiving bowl I, and diverging legs 5 and 6 which extend downwardly and are secured by welding, or otherwise, to the bottom, or to the lower portions of the side walls at opposite sides of the bowl, so that the central portion 4 will be positioned on a considerably higher plane than the top edge of the ash receptacle and will be over the centre of said receptacle.
The bracket 3 constitutes a support, and also a rigid backing, for two clips 1 and 8 respectively,
g each adapted to the purpose of holding a lighted cigarette, or cigar, above and transversely of the bowl so that the ashes will fall into the bowl.
The clips 1 and 8 are preferably made from a single piece 8a of narrow sheet metal of a soft, pliable and somewhat springy nature, such. as tin, and are formed by bending the strap-like piece of metal at points equi-distant from its ends and turning the end pieces 9 and III inwardly to the extent that each will terminate 1-Clai'm. (or. 131-257) short'of the body portion of the strap a istance somewhat less than the diameter of a cigarette, so that each clip comprises a backwardly turned end piece and the portion of the body ofthe strap therebehind, spaced so that in the insertion of a cigarette in a clip the arms of the clip will be spread and will thus exert a compressing influence on the cigarette.
That portion of the metal strap lying between the clips 1 and 8 is made to overlie the horizontal portion 4 of the bracket 3 and is secured thereto by a suitable connecting piece II and the portions of the strap at the ends of'such horizontal portion are bent downwardly parallel with the respectivelegs 5 and 6 so that a cigarette placed in a clip will lie transversely of the legs and of the bowl and will thus be held above the bowl and near the centre thereof so that ashes falling from the cigarette will drop into the bowl.
It will have been apparent that the rigid straplike legs of the bracket 3 provide backing for the inner sides or arms of th clips and thus render possible theuse of the relatively soft and flexible material which is desirable in the construction of the clips in order to avoid undue harshness towards the fragile cigarette.
The arms 9 and Ill are preferably turned outwardly slightly near their outer ends away from the cooperating portions of the straps therebehind, as shown at 12, to facilitate the insertion of a cigarette downwardly between the jaws of the clip.
In Figure 3 a form of construction is shown in which the holding device is particularly adaptable to the accommodation of a cigar, which is of greater thickness and hardness than a cigarette.
In this latter construction the legs 5 and 6 are turned inwardly towards one another midway of their length to provide transverse recesses I3 and the strap Ba is also bent, opposite said recesses, as at I4, so that when a cigar is placed in a clip, as illustrated in Figure 3, both sections of the clip, namely the turned back arm and the portion of the strap cooperating therewith will be spread and the portion of the strap engaged by the cigar Will be forced into the recess formed by bending the supporting leg.
In the use of this invention when it is desired to lay aside temporarily a lighted cigarette or cigar it is simply necessary to extend it transversely of the mouth of a clip and above it and then force it downwardly between the jaws where it will be firmly held until required, and from which position the ashes falling therefrom will drop into the bowl.
In the event that the cigarette or cigar is left in the spring clip sufficiently long that the tobacco burns up to the point of contact with the arms of the clip the inward pressure of said arms against opposite sides of the cigarette o1 cigar will cause the fire to be extinguished.
It will thus be seen that the present invention provides a safe, convenient and attractive ash tray and holder which can be produced at reasonable cost.
While I have illustrated and described the present preferred forms of construction for carrying out my invention, these are capable of variation and modification without departing from the spirit of the invention, I, therefore, do not wish to be limited to the precise details of construction set forth, but desire to avail myself of such variations and modifications as come within the scope of the appended claim.
What I claim is:
In a cigarette rest and a mounting means therefor, a rigid member having a .flat lower and upper face, said rigid member having downwardly inclined legs at the ends, a member of spring material having a medial body portion extending lengthwise of and lying on the upper face of said rigid member and fixed thereto, and spring clips REFERENCES CITED The following references are of record in the m file of this patent:
