CIGARETTE ASH TRAY AND SNUFFER Filed July 18, 1957 R "T: INVENTOR l x B 3 JACK QMcCOMB;
wmmmwa- ATT ORN EY United States Patent Qfiice Patented Sept. 30, 195% CIGARETTE ASH TRAY AND SNUFFER Jack C. McComb, Poland, Ohio Application July 18, 1957, Serial No. 672,655 3 Claims. (31. 131- 237 My invention relates to ash trays, and in accordance with my objects the invention consists in a tray equipped with improved means for snufiing the burning ends of cigarettes and discharging the hot ash and sparks into the tray.
A presently preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a view of the tray in front perspective;
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary sectional view on larger scale, as seen on the plane II-II of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a view in cross section of a lever member of the structure, as seen on the plane III-III of Fig. 2; and
Fig. 4 is a view in perspective of a snuffer element of the structure.
Referring to the drawings the tray comprises a body 2 having an ash-receiving recess 3. The body 2 and the associate portions and members herein described may be formed of glass, ceramic material, metal, or other suitable material. A support portion 4 extends upwardly from the rim of the recessed body 2, and in this case the portion 4 may be likened to a flat vertical wall of the thickness indicated in Fig. 2. As shown in Fig. l the top edge of the support portion is formed with a dovetail recess 5, whereby a plaque or frame 6 may be dotachably engaged to the tray structure. The plaque may carry a picture, or advertizing data, or it may be otherwise used for any desired secondary purpose.
On the face of the support portion 4 a snuifer element 7 is secured in overhanging position with respect to the recess 3 in the tray body. The element 7 is of the T- shape illustrateed in Figs. 1 and 4, with the lower end of the leg of the T wedge-shape, and, while 'such element may be integrally moulded with the structure 2, 4, in this case I show it to be separately formed and secured in place by means of screws or dowels 8.
On each of the opposite sides of the snufier element 7 a lever member 9 is pivoted to the support portion 4, the pivotal connection in the case of each lever member being a pin or screw 10 as seen in Fig. 2, extending from the face of the support portion 4 is a conical head 11 engaged in a dove-tail socket 12 formed in the lever member. The socket 12 opens through the bottom edge of the lower member, as will be understood upon comparing Figs. 1 and 2, whereby, while the lever member is secure for pivotal movement under pressure applied downwardly on its outwardly extending end 9a, the lever member may be lifted free from the pivot pin when desired for washing and cleansing.
The top edge of each lever is formed to support a cigarette. Preferably a groove 9b is provided in the top element 7 and extended beyond the tip or inner end 14 of of each lever, whereby a lit cigarette C may be supported,
as shown at the right-hand portion of the view in Fig. 1, with its burning end 13 positioned below the snufier the lever member supporting the cigarette. Then, by depressing the outer end of the lever member, the lever member swings, causing its tip 14 to cooperate with the snufier element 7 in shearing away and snufling the buming end of the cigarette. The lever in the left-hand portion of the view in Fig. 1, indicates the completion of the operation, whereby the sheared burning end 13a of the cigarette falls into the ash-receiving recess 3 of the tray. The cross-arm of the T-shaped snufier element 7 serves as a stop to limit the shearing swing of each lever member 9.
If a cigarette is placed on a lever so that the lit end does not extend beyond the inner end of the lever, it may be extinguished since the lit end can be crushed between the groove 9b and the lower face of a portion of the cross arm.
As those skilled in the art will realize, various modifications may be made in the exemplary structure described, without departing from the spirit of the invention defined in the appended claims.
I claim:
l. A device of the class described comprising a recessed body forming an ash receptacle, a support portion extending upwardly from the body, a snulfer element mounted on the support portion in a position above the ash-receiving recess of said body, and a lever member having a shearing tip and a recessed portion adapted to support a lit cigarette with its burning end overhanging said tip, said lever member being pivoted to said support portion whereby such lever member may be swung on its pivot for effecting, by the cooperation of said tip with said snuffer element, the shearing of the burning end of said cigarette.
2. A device of the class described comprising a recessed body forming an ash receptacle, a support portion extending upwardly from the body, a snuffer element mounted on the support portion in a position above the ash-receiving recess of said body, and a lever member having a shearing tip and a recessed portion adapted to support a lit cigarette with its burning end overhanging said tip, a pin having a conical head removably engaged in a slot of dove-tail shape in said lever for pivoting said member to said support portion whereby such lever member may be swung on its pivot for effecting, by the cooperation of said tip with said snulfer element, the shearing of the burning end of said cigarette.
3. A device of the class described comprising a recessed body forming an ash receptacle, a support portion extending upwardly from the body, a snuffer element mounted on the support portion in a position above the ash-receiving recess of said body, and two lever members each having a shearing tip and a recessed portion adapted to support a lit cigarette with its burning end overhanging said tip, said lever members being severally pivoted to said support portion on opposite sides of said snufier element whereby each lever member may be swung on its pivot for eifecting, by the cooperation of its tip with said snufier element, the shearing of the burning end of the supported cigarette.
