Definitions

  • the invention relates to an ashtray in which a top receptacle opening is closed by two semi-circular bowl halves mounted to be rockable about horizontal axes.
  • a top receptacle opening is closed by two semi-circular bowl halves mounted to be rockable about horizontal axes.
  • the pivot axis of one bowl half is provided with a small handle outside, by rotation of which one bowl half is swung open or raised.
  • second bowl half is also moved in a symmetrical movement by a pivotal or gear-wheel connection of the two howl halves.
  • the invention is concerned with an improvement in the ashtray described, wherein the special handle mentioned is eliminated and the emptying of the bowl halves is effected by a simple pressure on approximately any desired point of the bearing ring carrying the bowls.
  • a bearing ring carrying the bowl halves is rockable about a horizontal axis, lying at right angles to the pivot axes of the bowls, of the ashtray.
  • the ashtray possesses stops, which cooperate with the bowl pivots and by which the bowl halves are rocked into the emptying position or raised on rocking of the bearing ring.
  • the individual pivot pins which are firmly connected to the bowl halves and mounted in a hole in the bearing ring, have a lower surface which lies in a horizontal plane on the top of the ashtray when the latter is closed.
  • the fulcrum points are arranged in pairs and define between them a slot.
  • an inner ring which projects into the bearing ring proper.
  • This inner ring also has the stops which cooperate with the pivot pins of the bowl halves.
  • the stops are formed by the corners which are formed at points on the edge of the ring by the vertical edges of the recesses.
  • Figure l is a view of one form of construction of the ashtray in the open position and with the bearing ring partly broken away;
  • Figure 2 is a cross-section through one half of the ashtray in the construction on the line II-II in Figure 1, in the closed position with the lower part of the ashtray omitted;
  • Figure 3 is a cross-section through one half of the ashtray in the construction on the line Ill-Ill in Figure 1, in the closed position with the lower part of the ash tray omitted;
  • Figure 4 is a section corresponding to Figure 2 according to another form of construction
  • Figure 5 is a section corresponding to Figure 3 in the form of construction according to Figure 4.
  • Figures 6 and 7 show diagrammatically and on an enlarged scale the cooperation of a pin of one bowl half with a fixed stop in the two embodiments shown in Figures 3 and 5 respectively.
  • An ashtray 1 has at the top a cylindrical rim 2, on which are disposed the stops, which are disposed in pairs and which are situated diametrically opposite one another.
  • an inner ring 3 is attached to the ashtray either rigidly or detachably and with its bottom part 4 and its horizontal inwardly directed middle part 5 encircles the rim 2 of the ashtray.
  • the said inner ring 3 has two diametrically opposed slots 7.
  • the corners 10 formed by the horizontal edge 8 of the ring and the sides 9 of the vertical slots 7 serve as the fulcrum points for the ashtray halves.
  • the ashtray rim 2 At the periphery of the ashtray rim 2 are situated two diametrically opposed sleeves 14, in which small pins or balls 15 are mounted so as to be displaceable inwardly. Each pin or ball is constantly pressed outwardsby a spring 28, which is located inside the sleeve 14.
  • the two pins or balls 15 together constitute the horizontal pivot axis for a special bearing ring 16, the balls 15 engage in corresponding holes 17 in a vertical outer wall 18 of the bearing ring 16. Since the balls 15 yield resiilently, the bearlng rmg 16 can easily be removed from the ashtray. Fixed pins could, however, also be used, in which case the bearing ring could be removed by elastic deformation.
  • Each of the two semi-circular bowls 19 carries two pins 29, which are axially aligned and which engage in preferably circular holes 21 in an inner vertical wall 22 of the bearing ring 16.
  • the two axially aligned pins 20 constitute the horizontal pivot axis of the individual bowl halves 19.
  • the two pivot axes or pairs of pins 20 lie parallel to one another adjoining one another relatively closely.
  • the bearing pins 20 of the two bowls 19 and the pivot pins 15 of the bearing ring 16 are at right angles to one another in the example shown.
  • the bowl bearing pins 26 have a semi-circular cross-section. Each pin 20 is therefore limited at the bottom by a plane surface 23, which lies horizontally, when the bowls 19 are closed, as shown in Figures 3 to 6.
  • each surface 23 with the actual stop 10 lies to the side of the centre of the pivot pin.
  • Each pair of adjacent stops 10 are spaced a distance from one another to form the slot '7 in Fig. 3 or slot 24 in Fig. 5.
  • the upper part 6 of the inner ring 3 engages, in the construction of Figures 1 to 3, with slight play in the cylindrical inner wall 22 of the bearing ring 16.
  • the bowls 19 lie with their edges 26 on the ring edge 8, so that a very tight closure of the receptacle is thus ensured.
  • An ashtray comprising a body having an upper rim, fulcrum means mounted on said rim to constitute a horizontal pivot axis, a bearing ring mounted on said fulcrum means, two semicircular bowl halves each having pivotal support means projecting therefrom, means in said bearing ring above the fulcrum means and at right angles to said horizontal pivot axis receiving said pivotal support means and rockably supporting said bowl halves on said ring about horizontal axes close to and parallel to each other, and engagement means mounted on the rim of the body and cooperating with the pivotal support means for rocking the bowl halves into an emptying position when pressure is applied on the bearing ring intermediate the fulcrum means.
  • An ashtray according to claim 1 having an inner ring which engages from below in the bearing ring and on which the bowl halves lie in the closed state.
  • An ashtray according to claim 4 wherein the inner ring is provided, beneath the pivotal support means of each pair of bowl axes, with a vertical slot, and wherein the corners formed by the intersection of the vertical edges of the slot with the horizontal ring edge serve as the said engagement means.
