INVENTOR ATTORNEY) United States Patent O MAGNETIC CIGARETTE EXTING'USHNG CONTAINER Willard H. Myers, Toledo, Ohio Application September 1, 1954, Serial No. 453,493
2 Claims. (Cl. 13h-256) This invention relates to an improved magnetic support for a cigarette extinguishing container.
The primary object of the invention is to provide a more practical efficient container for cigarettes, which is designed to be magnetically secured to a selected magnetically permeable surface, such as an automobile or truck instrument panel, and which is designed to ex tinguish a cigarette when placed in the container without damaging the cigarette as to shape, so as to preserve the cigarette for relighting, without hurting the original taste and flavor of the cigarette.
Other important objects `and advantageous features of the invention wili be apparent from the following description and from the accompanying drawings, wherein, for purposes of illustration only, a specific embodiment of the invention is set forth in detail.
Figure l is a face view of a truck instrument panel having mounted thereon a device in accordance with the present invention;
Figure 2 is a top plan view of said device;
Figure 3 is a vertical longitudinal section taken on the line 3 3 of Figure 2;
Figure 4 is a transverse vertical section taken on the line 4--4 of Figure 2; and
Figure 5 is a vertical longitudinal section taken on the line 5-5 of Figure 2.
Referring in detail to the drawing, wherein like numerals designate like parts throughout the several views, the numeral 7 generally designates a motor vehicle instrument panel having a rounded or slanted upper surface portion 8, on which is mounted a cigarette container 9 in accordance with the present invention.
The cigarette container 9 comprises an elongated plate 10, of greater length than a cigarette, and somewhat wider than the diameter of a cigarette.
At its opposite ends the plate 10 merges into tubular formations 11 which extend across the plate 10 4and extend laterally outwardly beyond the opposite side edges 12 of the plate 10, the tubular formations 11 being located below the underside 13 of the plate 10 and preferably flush with the upper side 14 of the plate 10.
The plate 10 and tubular formations 11 are preferably made of magnetically permeable or magnetizable metal, but can be made of any other suitable material, such as molded plastic.
The tubular formations 11 are provided in their side Walls 15 with slots 16 extending lengthwise of the tubular formations at points of the side walls 15 remote from the plate 10. The slots 16 expose adjacent sides of permanent bar magnets 17 which have a tight lit in or are otherwise suitably secured in the tubular formations 11, the ends of the magnets preferably being liush with the ends of the tubular formations 11, 11. The slots 16 are wide enough to provide for direct contact of the magnets 17 with a lCC surface to which the container 9 is to be magnetically mounted.
Extending along a major portion of the length of the upper surface 14 of the plate 10 and secured thereto, in suitable manner, or integral therewith are parallel container walls 18 which have ends 19 spaced from the tubular formations 11, the ends 19 being rounded at their upper corners, as indicated at 20.
The container walls 18 with the upper surface 14 of the plate 18 constitute a cigarette extinguishing and holding chamber. The walls 18 may be the full length of cigarettes to be extinguished and contained, but are preferably shorter than a cigarette, and are spaced from each other a distance such than a cigarette inserted between the walls 18 is frictionally held in the chamber without materially squeezing or crushing the sides of the cigarette.
ln use, a lighted cigarette is placed in a horizontal position between the walls 19 or pressed vertically downwardly therebetween, so that the lighted end is in any case compressed between the walls 18 and the upper surface 1 4 of the plate 10, with the result that the lighted end is extinguished and the cigarette held in the position in which it was inserted. The walls 18 are higher than the diameter of a cigarette so that a good purchase on a cigarette inserted downwardly below the straight upper edges 21 of the walls will result.
What is claimed is:
l. A cigarette extinguishing container comprising an elongated ilat plate, a tubular formation extending transversely of and depending from the under face of said plate adjacent each end thereof, there being a slot in each of said tubular formations remote from the plate and extending from one end to the other, a bar magnet in each of said tubular formations, the slot in each tubular formation exposing the adjacent part of its contained magnet bar for direct contact with a magnetized surface upon which the container s to be mounted, and a pair of spaced. upstanding straight walls rising from said plate intermediate its ends thereof.
2. A cigarette extinguishing container comprising an elongated ilat plate, a tubular formation extending transversely of and depending from the under face of said plate adjacent each end thereof, there being a slot in each of said tubular formations remote from the plate and extending from one end to the other, a bar magnet in each of said tubular formations, the slot in each tubular formation exposing the adjacent part of its contained magnet bar for direct contact with a magnetized surface upon which the container is to be mounted, and a pair of spaced upstanding straight walls rising from and extending longitudinally of said plate intermediate its ends, each of the complemental ends of said walls being spaced inwardly from the adjacent end of said plate.
