Description

Feb. 13, 1951 w. c. MARLEY 3,541,929
- CIGARETTE EXTINGUISHING ASH TRAY Filed Dec. 18, 1947 lV/LZ/AM C MARLEY,
Patented Feb. 13, 1951 UNITED STATES- PATENT OFFlCE Application December 18, 1947, Serial No. 792,391
2 Claims.
This invention relates to an ash tray having a rotatable member therein providcd with a plurality of holes having one end closed and into which the lighted end of a cigarette may be inserted and the same will be extinguished due to exclusion of air, and on repeated uses of the ash tray, the rotatable member may be rotated and the cigarettes which have accumulated in the .previously used holes will be dropped into the lower portion of the ash tray.
Some of the objects of the invention having been stated, other objects will appear as the description proceeds, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is an isometric view of the invention;
Figure 2 is a top plan View of the invention;
Figure 3 is a vertical artial sectional view taken along the line 3-3 in Figure 2;
Figure 4 is a vertical sectional view taken along the line 4- in Figure 2.
Referring more specifically to the drawings, the numeral It] indicates a circular container having a bottom I I and an annular flange 82 around the same at the top end. The container to has an ash and cigarette cavity l5 which extends upwardly from the bottom It and has an inwardly beveled cylindrical portion 56, mounted therein by a pressed fit having a smalle opening E8. The cylindrical portion which is beveled at its lower end stops short of the bottom Hto provide a larger ash receptacle. The beveled lower end of cylindrical portion l6 permits the contents of cavity l5, when the container it) is inverted, to flow out of the container.
Disposed in the top surface of the circular portion i6 is a pair of diametrically opposed cavities 20 and 2! in which is rotatably mounted a member 23 which has an enlarged portion 24 in the center thereof having a plurality of radially disposed holes 25 therein. Disposed in the member l6 and in alignment with the holes 25 is a pair of vertically disposed slots ii and 28 which extend from the top surface of the member it downwardly into the cavity l5. The top surface of the container l0 and the cylindrical portion it; have a plurality of mating arcuate grooves 39 forresting cigarettes or cigars on the ash tray.
When one has finished a cigarette, the lighted end of the same is pressed into one of the holes 25 which are disposed in the member 23 and by pushing the lighted end of the cigarette slightly against the bottom of the hole 25, it will go out in a very few seconds or even if not pushed against the bottom of the cavity 25, the exclusion of outside air will extinguish the cigarette. When the ash tray is to be used again, the member 23 is rotated partially to present another hole 25 at the top of the member 23 and as the member 23 is rotated, that portion of the cigarette which extends out of the hole 25 will: pass through the slot 2? or 28 depending upon the direction of rotation imparted to the member 23.
When the previously used cigarette has passed 4 down through the slot 2! or 28, and has reached the lowermost position, it will drop out of the hole 25 into the container ID in the first form of the invention. The member 23 may easily be removed from the ash tray to facilitate cleaning of the same.
Throughout the specification and claims the word cigarette is used in its broad sense and is not only intended to cover an article wherein tobacco is enclosed in a paper wrapper, but is also intended to mean cigarsv made entirely of tobacco.
In the drawings and specification there has been set forth a preferred embodiment of the invention and although specific terms are employed, they are used in a generic and descriptive sense only and not for purposes of limitation the scope of the invention being defined in the claims.
I claim:
1. An ash tray having a cavity therein restricted at its upper end, a pair of slots extending upwardly in the sidewalls of the restricted portion, a rotatable member disposed transversely of the slots and having a plurality of radially disposed holes in alignment with the slots, whereby the insertion of a cigarette in one of the holes in the rotatable member will extinguish the lighted end of the same, and by rotating the rotatable member, the cigarette will pass through one of the slots and when the hole in the rotatable member has reached the inverted and lowermost position, the cigarette will fall out of the same into the lower portion of the cavity.
2. An ash tray comprising a container restricted at its upper end and having a pair of vertically dis osed slots disposed degrees apart in the restricted portion and a horizontally disposed member mounted for rotation in the upper end 3 of the container and having an enlarged portion disposed centrally of the restricted portion, the enlarged portion of the rotatable member having a plurality of radially disposed holes therein of substantially the same size as the cross sectional area of a cigarette and into which the lighted end of a cigarette may be placed for extinguishing the' same, rotation of the rotatable member causing a cigarette disposed in one of said radially disposed cavities to pass through the vertically disposed slots, and when a cigarette reaches its lowermost position by rotation of the rotatable member, the extinguished cigarette will fall from its cavity into the container.
WILLIAM C. MARLEY.
