5 Claims.
This invention relates to ash receivers of the type which in practice are mounted within the bodies of automobiles, on the dash of the body, or other convenient places where they may be reached, for receiving ashes, cigarette and cigar butts, matches and other refuse.
It is an object and purpose of' the present invention to provide a particularly simple, noiseless and'economically constructed ash receiver made of two major parts, one a slidin drawer and the other a mounting therefor, together with means for releasably holding the drawer against disengagement from its mounting when it has been pulled outwardly a predetermined distance.
However, on downward pressure against theouter end'of the drawer, when the drawer is in outer position, the drawer may be removed for dumping its contents, and may then be returned to operative slidin connection with its mounting, by merely entering the drawer at the entrance end of the mounting and moving it inwardly. Spring means of a simple and practical construction are used, carried by the drawer mounting and acting upon the drawer to normally maintain it in any position to which moved, and also to hold the drawer against aimless or other undesired movement productive of rattling noises. Such spring means readily yields upon downward pressure at the outer end of the extended drawer when a disconnection of the drawer is wanted.
An understanding of the invention may be had from the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a plan view of the ash received with the drawer at an outer position.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation.
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal vertical section substantially on the plane of line 3-3 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary transverse vertical section, substantially on the plane of line 4- of Fig. 2.
Fig. 5 is a similar vertical section, the drawer having been pressed downwardly at its outer end andthe rear portion of the drawer lifted for disengagement from its mounting when the drawer is to be removed.
Like reference characters refer to like parts in the different figures of the drawing.
The drawer mounting of the ash receiver is made from a single plate of flat metal. It includes a horizontal rectangular section 5 from which, at its rear edge, a flange 2 is turned downwardly. At each longitudinal side edge a flange 3 is similarly turned downwardly. Each of the flanges 3 at their outer portions have flange ex.- tensions l, which arebent downwardly and inwardly at an angle to the horizontal, forming guides for slidably supporting the hereafter described drawer of the ash receiver. At the front or outer end of the drawer mounting ears 5 extend outwardly at right angles, which are bent from the front ends of the flanges 3, extensions 4 and downwardly extending sections 6 integral therewith. Through the ears 5 openings are made for the passage of fastening devices for securing the mounting in place On the dash of an automobile, or other support where the ash receiver is to be carried.
In the-outer part, and at each side of the upper section I, two spaced slots or openings l are cut, one back of the other, the outer edges of said openings reaching substantially to the inner sides of the flanges 3. Leaf springs 8 are riveted at their middles to the section i between each of the pairs of slots l, and at each of said slots or openings 1 the end portions of the leaf springs are curved into concave form; as shown at 9, and extend downwardly through the openings 1 a distance below the under side of the top section.
The drawer is pressed and formed from another single plate of flat metal. It has a bottom ID, a generally vertical rear end II, a vertical front end I2, from which a snubber I3 is extended to the rear at the upper edge of the front, and spaced vertical sides [4, each of which at its upper portion is shaped into a substantially channel shaped rib l5; each rib having a flat horizontal upper side or flange l6. Near the rear end of the drawer and adjacent the rear end of each of the ribs l5, integral stops H are made by forcing the metal outwardly a short distance.
The drawer is adapted to enter the open front end of the mounting, the ribs [5 entering the open front ends of the guides provided by flanges 3 and 4. When so entered the upper sides or flanges 6 of the ribs I5 press against the end portions 9 of the spring members 8. The drawer is stopped in its inward movement by its rear end coming against the flange 2. It is stopped normally in its outward movement by the stop l7 coming against the ends of the angularly disposed flange i. When in such position the outer portion of the drawer is open at the upper side for the reception of refuse. The front of the drawer may be equipped with any suitable pull-out handle. The concave end sections 8 of the springs B pressing upon the upper flanges Ia of the drawer ribs I5, provide a friction brake upon the draw- 3 er, so that the drawer remains in any position to which it is moved, and is moved inward or outward by the exertion of such force as necessary to overcome the braking action tending to hold the drawer against movement.
When the drawer is to be removed it is pulled to its outer position and force is applied downwardly at the outer end of the drawer. This tilts the inner end of the drawer upwardly. The rear ends 9 of the springs 8 yield in an upward direction and the stops H are lifted above the inner ends of the guide flange 4, against which they normally strike when the drawer is pulled outwardly. When thus lifted the drawer may be removed, its contents dumped and, thereafter, the drawer returned to its operative position.
It is to be understood that this invention conceives other details of structure than that specifically described. The important feature of the invention is that it includes a drawer slidably mounted in a support with interengaging stop members on the drawer and support with sufficient slack movement between the drawer and support so that downward tilting movement of the projecting end of the drawer will cause the drawer to fulcrum on the support and move the stop members out of engagement with each other whereby the drawer may be withdrawn. The
device also includes spring means for holding the 7 be considered comprehensive of all forms of structure coming within their cope.
I claim:
1. A drawer, a support for said drawer, interengaging means on the drawer and support for slidably mounting said drawer within the support, interengaging stops on the drawer and support to stop the drawer at a predetermined open position, and yielding spring means carried by said support engaging the drawer and normally holding aid stops in operative position, pressure downwardly upon the outer end portion of the drawer, when it is moved outwardly disengaging said stops to render them inoperative, whereby the drawer may be further withdrawn and disengaged from the support.
2. In a structure as described, a horizontal plate having side flanges, one at each opposite side edge thereof, extending downwardly, and having inwardly and downwardly inclined flanges for a portion of the length of said side flanges at the outer end portions thereof, a drawer, ribs at the upper edges of the drawer, one at each side lengthwise thereof, riding on said downwardly and inwardly inclined flanges for slidably mounting the drawer, said ribs at their upper sides havin horizontal faces, stops on the drawer at its rear end, one at each side adapted to strike the inner ends of said downwardly and inwardly inclined flanges to limit the outward sliding movement of the drawer, and yielding spring means carried on said plate pressing against the upper faces of the ribs on the drawer to normally hold the inner end of the drawer with the ribs thereon frictionally bearing against said inwardly and downwardly inclined flanges, said spring means being yieldable on downward pressure applied to the front end of the drawer when extended, to move the stops above the inner ends of said downwardly and inwardly extending flanges, permitting removal of the drawer.
3. A structure as defined in claim 2, said drawer being of thin sheet metal, and said ribs being of channel form in cross section and extending outwardly from the sides of the drawer, the upper flanges providing horizontal faces against which said sprin means bears.
4. A structure as defined in claim 2, said spring means comprising relatively long thin strips of spring material having end portions of downwardly curved concave form, said plate having spaced openings adjacent each longitudinal side edge of the plate through which said end portions extend to engage said upper sides of the drawer ribs, and means for permanently securing the springs to the plate at positions between the said slots.
5. In a structure of the class described, a horizontal supporting member, a drawer associated therewith, ribs on the drawer, guide means on the supporting member for slidably mounting the drawer adjacent the supporting member, stops on the drawer engaging with said guide means on the supporting member to normally limit the outward movement of said drawer, said drawer when moved to outer position being tiltable upwardly at its inner end by downward pressure applied to the drawer at its outer end, yielding spring means normally holding the drawer at its inner end at stop engaging position, in which position said stops are operative to prevent removal of the drawer, such stops on upward tilting of the rear end of the drawer being moved out of engagement with said guide means carried by the supportin member whereby the drawer may be bodily removed.
