Fig. '10 is a cross-sectionalview siiiiilar'to``- rocker"eleient5 272 behindthe" op porting the pin 22, an inclined stop 23 adjacent the top thereof, a trip 24, a rear trip cam 26, a front trip cam 21, a shroud 28, a shroud support arm 29, a tobacco ash receptacle 30 comprising a face portion 3| adapted to fit flush with the housing 20 when closed, side portions 32 adapted to t within the side of the opening 2|, a back portion 33, a bottom portion 34, a downwardly and forwardly inclined plate 36 disposed within the tray or receptacle 30, spring arms 31 resiliently supporting and attaching the plate 36 to the back portion 33, a depressable catch 38 attached to the plate 36 for co-acting with the stop 23 to limit the outward movement of the tray 30 in the housing 20, a pivot pin 39 disposed between the sides 32, a rotor or actuator 46 pivotally mounted on the pin 39, an inwardly curved or recessed side 4| on the rotor 40 bearing against the resiliently mounted plate 36 creating a substantially closed cavity or chamber 42 therebetween bounded at the ends by the tray sides 32; a back portion 43 on the rotor 40 for contacting the front trip cam 21 on the trip 24, a front portion 44 on the rotor 40 for contacting the rear cam 26 on the trip 24, an end portion 45 on the rotor 40 for journaling the pin 39, and a knob 46 on the receptacle 30 for opening and closing the tray 30 by rocking the tray 30 on the pivot pin 22 so that the back 43 and the front 44 of the rotor 46 contact the trip 24 at its cams 21 andr26 when the tray 30 moved into or out of the housing 28. The rotor 46 is equipped with receiving slots 66, Fig. 5, for holding a cigarette 50 therein during periods when the smoker desires to lay the cigarette 50 down.
The tray 30 is adapted to pivot with the notched portion 35, Fig. 5, pivoting on the pin 22, Fig. 2, so that the tray 30 may be closed and opened by means of knob 46 with the face portion 3| of the tray 30 limiting the inward pivoting by contacting the stop 23. When it is desirable to remove the tray 30 from the housing 2D, the catch 38 is depressed out of contact with the stop 23 and the tray 36 may then be removed from the housing 20 and the accumulated tobacco ashes and extinguished cigars and cigarettes may then be emptied therefrom. The tray 30 may be reinserted in the opening 2| of the panel 2i) by placing the notched portion 35 on pivot pin 22 and then pushing the catch 38 past the stop 23 so that catch 38 will pass the stop 23 while moving in an inward direction due to the angle of the stop 23 and the configuration of the end of the catch 38.
The shroud 28, supported by the arm 29 is adapted to prevent air currents behind the panel 20 from sucking ashes out of the tray 30.
The plate 36 is disposed within the tray 30 slanting downwardly and toward the front 3| thereof and is supported by the resilient arms 31 which are attached to the back portion 33 so that the plate 36 is resiliently mounted within the tray 30 and it is to be noted that the catch 38 stems from the plate 36 thereby eliminating a separate anchorage for the catch 38. The pin 39 is disposed between the side portions 32 of the tray 30 and carries the rotor 40 freely rotatably disposed thereon with the rotor 40 bearing against the plate 36 on either end of the curved side portion 4| thereby creating a substantially closed chamber 42 between the curved side portion 4| and the plate 36 and between the tray sides 32.
Referring in greater detail to the elements of the rotor or actuator 40, it will be noted that the rotor 40 comprises a front cam contacting portion 44 for contacting the rear cam 26 on trip 24 to rock the upper portion of rotor rearwardly, a back cam contacting portion 43 for contacting the front cam 21 on the trip 24 to rock the upper portion of rotor forwardly, a rst cam portion 41 for contacting the resilient plate 36, and a, second cam portion 48 for contacting the resilient plate 36.
When the tray or receptacle 3|) is moved out of the housing 26, Fig. 9, the front cam contacting portion 44 of the rotor 4|! contacts the rear cam 25 of the trip 24 which rocks the rotor 40 backwardlyvso that the rst cam 41 on the rotor 40 depresses the resilient plate 36 and the second cam 46 of the rotor moves away from the resilient plate 36 so that the chamber 42 is open at the forward low er end thereof to dump a cigarette from the chamber.
When the tray 36 is moved into the housing 20, Fig. 7, the rear cam contacting portion 43 of the rotor 46 contacts the front cam 21 of the trip 24 which rocks the rotor 40 forwardly so that the second cam portion 48 on the rotor 46 depresses the resilient plate 36 and the first cam 41 moves away from the resilient plate 36 so that the chamber 42 is open at the rearward upper end to receive a cigarette which has been deposited adjacent thereto. It will be noted that the cam portion 41 slides along the plate 36 in opening the bottom of the chamber 42 providing a scraping action helping to project a cigarette 50 out of the chamber 42. Y
When the tray 36 is moved to or from full out or full closed relation with respect to the housing 26, the resilient plate 36 pressing against one of the cams 41 or 48 rocks the rotor 40 to or from the positions shown in Figs. 7 and 9, to or from the position shown in Figs. 6 and 8, with the cams 41 and 48 acting as stops for eachother against the urging of the resilient plate as each lies on the other side of the axis of rotation of the rotor 46.
The back of the rotor having the cam contacting portion 43 and the plate 36 intersect one another at an angle forming a V slot or channel, Fig. 6, for depositing a burning cigarette therein above and to the rear of the closed chamber 42 so that when the chamber 42 opens at its rearward upper end the burning cigarette will fall into the chamber 42, Fig. 7.
Referring to the operation cycle of the device, Figs. 6, 7, 8, and 9, it will be noted that if the tray 35i is initially in the completely opened position as seen in Fig. 6, and the smoker places his cigarette 59 adjacent the back of the rotor on the plate 36 in the V slot or channel. If the smoker then moves the tray 36 into the housing 26 so that the cam contacting portion 43 of the rotor 46 contacts the front cam 21 of the trip 24 this will cause the rotor 4B to rotate urging the plate 36 downwardly and opening the chamber 42 at the rearward upper end thereof so that the cigarette 56 enters the chamber by rolling down the inclined plate 36 as seen in Fig. 7. After the tray has been completely closed, the rotor 46 moves out of Contact with the trip 24, and the rotor 4i] and plate 36 then return to the position of Fig. 8 with the upward spring pressure of the plate 36 rotating the rotor 46 thereby closing the chamber 42 Vand imprisoning the burning cigarette in the chamber 42. When the user opens the tray, Fig. 9, the front cam contacting portion 44 of the rotor 40 contacts the rear cam 26 of the trip 24 urging the plate 36 meager-si' downwardly' :thereby `opening Ltl'e chamber f42-at the- -fo'rvvard bottomA thereof so I. thatwtlieprevi: ously extinguished cigarette i l); may :f move '.idovvn-- the inclined plate- 3B-^andfalls into-the. bottom ofthetray '-30.- Upon movement `Yof `-tlrie tray to its? fu'll. open position as seen in Fig-.f-d'lthe rotor 40' and tray J assume vtheir 'normal positioni as.v seenandA are -now -inf readiness -to receive another-- cigarette -and repeatlthe hereinbefo're :described cycle.

portion 53B cooperating with the rear. cam contacting portion of the rotor for creating av channel or slot for receiving and positioning a burning cigarette above the chamber 5.123. The
operation of the two modified devices is the same as-that of the device shown' in Figs. 1 to 9 -inclusive.
Referring toFigs. 5, 11, and 13 'relative to an.
open type ash tray, the panel 2% and associated parts are deleted. The rotor MA, or MIB is mounted on the top oi a tray together'with the spring 3l or 5i and the plate t, 36A, or. 36B,
