Description
FIG .4. I 7 T T INVENTOR.
GEORGE AJDUKOVICH Ap 1952 G. AJDUKOVICH. 2,591,113
CIGARETTE SUPPORTING COVER Filed May 23, 1946 8 ATTORNEY:
Patented Apr. 1, 1952 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.
This invention relates to receivers for smokers articles, more particularly cigarettes and cigars.
One of the objects of this invention is to provide a receiver of the character described which is simple in construction, economical to manufacture, convenient and effective.
Further objects will appear from the detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing disclosing an illustrative embodiment of this invention. It .is to be understood, however, that this invention is susceptible of various embodiments within the scope of the appended claim.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a receiver embodying this invention;
Figure 2 is a fragmentary cross sectional view taken along the line 22 of Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a longitudinal sectional view taken along line 33 of Figure l; and
Figure 4 is a separate view of the grille.
Generally stated, and in accordance with an illustrative embodiment of this invention, the receiver comprises an open frame provided with a grille therein. This frame and grille may form the top of an ash receiver, on which top a cigarette or cigar may be laid with the butt on the grille in order that the ashes may fall therethrough. The frame has a depending wall and an inwardly extending wall. The inwardly extending wall has a central opening and a continuous groove in that edge of the wall that defines the opening. The grille slides in the groove, and is so positioned that when a cigarette or cigar is deposited on the top it will incline inwardly. The grille can be made of a wire which is bent back and forth to extend across the frame and with the bends of the wire supported by the guides while a stop on the grille engages the frame.
Referring now to the accompanying drawing, I designates a base which may be an ash receiver of usual construction, provided with an upstanding wall 3. A top generally indicated at 2 has a depending wall 4 fitting in the sides 3. The top is in the form of an open frame having an inwardly extending wall 5 grooved to provide guides 6 for a grille which may be slid into the grooves; an opening 9 being in one end of the inwardly extending wall 5 for the entrance of the grille. The grille 1 may be formed of wire bent back and forth to extend across the frame so as to provide a plurality of corresponding transverse and end portions, the end portions connecting the transverse portion except at the ends of the wire and with the end portions 8 of the wire supported by the guides. A free end Ill of the wire may be bent down so as to latch behind the depending wall 4 in order to latch the grille in position. The wire may be bent as shown to not only present an ornamental appearance but to provide a central opening H for the larger cigar ash butt.
The frame has a rim 12 above the inwardly extending wall 5 and the grille is below the ledge. If, therefore, a cigarette or cigar be laid on the receiver, it will incline downwardly into the open frame so that it will not over-balance but will always tend to remain at a downward inclination in order not to tip over outside of the receiver. Furthermore, as the end of the cigarette burns and the burning part reaches the inside of the inwardly extending wall 5, it will tend to become extinguished by contact with the cold wall, so that the burning will not continue on materially outwardly beyond the inside edge of the wall 5. This is advantageous, for burning of furniture, fabric, etc. will be avoided. The grille may be taken out by release of the latch 10 and when in place will be securely locked. The entire top may be taken off of the base to permit its contents to be discharged.
It will, therefore, be seen that a simple and effective receiver is provided, which will be economical to manufacture and ornamental while retaining its utility. The entire device may be made of metal or plastic formed to shape and decorated in any suitable manner.
What is claimed is:
A cover for an ash tray comprising a frame having a depending wall and an inwardly extending wall, said inwardly extending wall having a central opening therethrough, a continuous groove in the edge of the wall that defines the opening, and a grille, said grille consisting of a wire having bends therein to provide a plurality of corresponding transverse and end portions, the end portions connecting the transverse portions except at the extremities of the wire, the central parts of the transverse portions being curved and one of the end transverse curved portions lying in a plane which is at right angles to the plane of the remainder of the grille, said grille being adapted to be slid into the groove and said end transverse curved portion constituting a stop to maintain the wire in the groove by engagement with the inner surface of the depending wall.
