4 Claims.
This invention relates to improvements in ash receptacles of the type which isadapted to be arranged in an automobile or truck.
An object of this invention is to provide an improved ash tray and means of mounting the ash tray in a vehicle, the mounting means bein attached to the door jamb of the vehicle and so constructed that it is capable of being swung to a position convenient to the operator of the vehicle.
Another object of this invention is to provide an improved means of attaching the ash receptacle to the means of mounting the receptacle, which attaching means includes a tongue attached to the ash tray receptacle arranged to be fitted in slots of a part of the support means for the ash tray, together with provision for retaining a part of the hinge, said hinge being used to connect the closure of the ash receptacle to the receptacle.
Ancillary objects and features of importance and utility will become apparent in following the description of the illustrated form of the invention.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a fragmentary perspective view of the interior of a vehicle showing the ash tray mounted therein;
Figure 2 is a plan view of the structure of the device;
Figure 3 is a longitudinal sectional view taken substantially on the line 3-3 of Figure 2 and in the direction of the arrows;
Figure 4 is a fragmentary exploded perspective view of the ash receptacle and a part of the means for supporting it;
Figure 5 is an enlarged sectional view showingthe downwardly opening channel of the closure, gasket and upper rim or edge of the ash receptacle in assembled form; and,
Figure 6 is an enlarged sectional view taken substantially on the line 6-6 of Figure 1 and in the direction of the arrows.
In Figure 1 we have illustrated a fragmentary part of a vehicle, which includes a door ID together with a door jamb l2. The device is adapted to be held fixed to the door jamb by means of the mounting bracket I4. This mounting bracket has a flat end l6 provided with openings IB into which self-tapping screws 20 are adapted to be disposed. These screws are used for fixing the mounting bracket I4 to the door jamb 12 (Figure 6).
There is a flat opposite end 22 of the mounting bracket [4 which is provided with an opening 24 to accommodate the rivet 26. The rivet is passed through an upper washer 28, a resilient washer 30, an aperture in the arm 32, a second resilient washer 34 and a lower washer 36. By this constuction the arm 32 is held firmly fixed to the mounting bracket [4 but is capable of being; rotated to an adjusted position about the axis of the rivet 26.
The arm 32 has for strengthening purposes, a longitudinal depression 38 therein intermediate its ends.
At the end of the arm 32 opposite from that end having the rivet 26 passed therethrough, there is an opening through which a second rivet 40 passes. The second rivet 4D has a washer assembly 42 connected with it identical to the described washer assembly in connection with the rivet 26.
There is an extension 44 connected to the arm 32 by means of the rivet 40 whereby the extension may be rotated to selected positions in accordance with prerogative of the user of the device, the Washer assembly 42 serving as a friction brake, as does the washer assembly connected with. the rivet 26.
The extension 44 has a lower flat portion 4% in which there is an opening for the rivet 40. The portion 46 is arranged at substantially right angles to the adjacent part of it, and the extension is provided with a strengthening longitudinal depression 48 almost from end to end thereof.
At the extreme outer end of the extension 44 there is a spring plate or finger 50 soldered or otherwise rigidly fixed in place to cooperate with a part of the end of the extension 44 in forming a friction latch to coact with the keeper 52 in holding the closure 54 in the open position.
The closure 54 is provided with a downwardly opening channel 56 near its edge and there is a resilient gasket 58 located in this channel arranged to overlie the upper rim or edge 60 of the receptacle 62.
This receptacle is adapted to contain cigars, cigarettes and the like and the closure 54 together with its gasket located upon the rolled rim 60 of the receptacle, causes the receptacle 62 to be air-tight for the purpose of smothering cigars, cigarettes etc.
There is a hinge 64 arranged to connect the closure 54 to the receptacle 52. This hinge includes a hinge plate 66 which is fixed to the closure 54 and a hinge plate or leaf 68 which is removably connected with the receptacle.
The receptacle 62 has a tongue 69 connected to it, but spaced from one wall thereof. This tongue has brackets and H at its upper end which are held to the receptacle by screws, rivets or the like and which are so shaped as to space the tongue 69 slightly from the receptacle. The lower end of the tongue has an aperture 12 therein.
The hinge leaf 68 is arranged to be inserted behind the tongue 69 and between the brackets 10 and 1], thereby fixing the closure in place on the receptacle so that it is capable of swinging to the positions shown in Figure 3.
In order to hold the receptacle 62 in place on the extension 44 there is a means forming slots 13 and 14 in the material of the extension 44. This means consists of a pair of plates 15 and 76 which are pressed from the material of the extension in the strengthening ridge 48 and hence, the plates 15 and 16 define the slots which constitute pockets to hold the tongue 69 removably placed on the extension.
There is a protuberance 18 formed in the extension 44 near the flat portion 46, this protuberance being so located as to be removably disposed in the aperture 12, this assembly providing a latch for the receptacle.
In operation the device is attached to a vehicle as disclosed in Figure 6. Then, it may be adjusted to suit the convenience of the operator of the vehicle and in accordance with the actual structure of the vehicle.
The lid 54 is provided with a highly polished surface or painted with luminous paint. At night the location of the ash tray is easily discernible because of this expedient.
The lid or closure 54 may be retained in the open condition so that the receptacle 62 may receive cigars, cigarettes, ashes and other refuse.
When it is desired to close the receptacle,the finger grip member 80 on the closure 54 is pulled thereby releasing the keeper 52 from the resilient latch of'the extension 44.
The closure is pulled down tightly upon the rim of the receptacle 62 thereby sealing the receptacle and smothering the contents thereof.
When it is desired to empty the ash receptacle, it need only be lifted and emptied. Then it may 4 be easily replaced by inserting the tongue 69 in the slots 13 and 14.
Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
1. In an ash tray, a receptacle which has a side wall with a tongue secured in parallel relation thereto, said tongue having laterally and inwardly extending brackets which are fixed to a side wall of the receptacle thereby spacing the tongue slightly from the receptacle and defining a pocket between the tongue and said wall, a closure for the receptacle, said closure having a hinge with a member extending from the hinge and removably disposed in said pocket to thereby connect said closure to said receptacle, and the lower portion of said tongue constituting a portion of a means for mounting said receptacle.
2. The combination of claim 1 and said closure having a gasket to seal the receptacle when the closure is in the receptacle closing position.
3. The combination of claim 1 and means for mounting said receptacle, said mounting means including an arm with an extending portion thereof having slots, and said tongue lower portion being disposed in said slots.
4. The combination of claim 3 and said extending portion having a latch and arranged above the top of the receptacle a latch keeper carried by said closure and removably disposed in said latch to hold said closure in the open condition.
