Description
' D. anu-wooo` BY FI. I3 L INVENTOR AR THUR Jan. 12, 1960 4 Mlmsi.
ATTORNEY United States Patent O SMOKERS ARTICLE Arthur D. Garwood, Chicago, Ill.
Application January 21, 1958, Serial No. 717,287
2 Claims. (Cl. 22023.83)
This invention relates in general to smokers articles and in particular to an ash tray and closeable ash receptacle with manually and remotely operated lid.`
When cigarettes which are not completely extinguished are laid in any open tray they generally continue to smoke and smoulder, causing disagreeable odors, untidiness and danger of fires, should they fall out of the tray while still lighted.
However, when a cigarette is placed in a receptacle which can be covered the lack of oxygen will definitely cause complete extinguishing of the cigarette.
It is therefore one object of my invention to provide a cigarette ash tray which will have a dish shaped tray with peripheral indentations for reception of one or more cigarettes.
It is another object of my invention to provide an ash tray with an upstanding closeable ash receiver.
One more object of my invention is to provide a finger control for raising the lid of the closeable ash receiver leaving the other hand free to dispose of the cigarette.
And Vstill another object of my invention is to provide a locking member for holding the finger control in lid raising position.
Other objects and advantages as well as the construction and manner of use of my invention will be apparent by reference to the following description in connection with the accompanying drawing in which:
Fig. 1 is a vertical elevational view of my invention with parts being shown in section for clarity of illustration.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary vertical cross sectional view at the juncture of the lid with the receptacle.
Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the device.
Referring now to the drawing by numerals of reference 1 designates an ash tray with upstanding peripheral rim 2 dening a central bowl 3, the rim being provided with a plurality of indentations or grooves 4 for reception of cigarettes.
A central support 5 carries a receptacle 6 on which a close fitting lid 7 may rest, the lid having an inner depending annular ange 8 and a gasket 9 if desired.
A U-shaped tube 10 has its lower portion 11 embedded in the body of the ash tray 1, with the standard or leg 12 extending upwardly through the central support 5 and the offset leg 13 extending upwardly from the peripheral rim 2.
A rod 14 carried by the lid or cover 7 is slidably mounted in the leg 12 and another rod 15 is similarly mounted in oiset leg 13 and has terminal finger knob 16.
A exible cable 17 or any other suitable element is positioned in U-shaped tube 10 and extends between the lower end of rod 14 and the lower end of rod 15.
liiatented Jan. 12, 1960 ICC Means for locking the lid 7 in open position is provided by pivoted member 418 carried at the upper end of rod 15 and having a roller 19 easily engageable or disengageable on knob 16 when in depressed position.
The device has been so designed that the weight of the lid, rod and cable in standard or tube 10 is greater than the weight of the knob, rod and cable in offset tube or leg 13 whereby release of finger pressure on knob 16 will permit the lid 7 to gravitate into receptacle closing position in a simple and eective manner.
Should a cigarette be placed within the receptacle 6 While still smouldering the tight fitting lid 7 Will seal the receptacle and the lack of oxygen will cause the cigarette to be fully extinguished. Also, the close t of the lid will prevent smoke and tobacco odors from escaping into the room.
Cigarettes may be temporarily laid in the grooves 4 when not being smoked and may be ground out in the bowl 2 of the tray but will be deposited in the receptacle 6 where they will be out of sight and -will not create undesirable odors.
It is obvious that changes in form, proportion and details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of my invention and I reserve all rights to such changes as come within the scope of this specification and the claims which follow.
What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. In a smokers article, a base member forming an ash tray, a receptacle, means supporting the receptacle above the ash tray, a lid on the receptacle, a U-shaped tube having parallel legs, one leg extending upwardly from the ash tray and through the center of the receptacle, the other leg extending upwardly from the ash tray externally of the receptacle, a rod carried by the lid and slidably positioned in the first mentioned leg of the tube, a second rod slidably mounted in the second mentioned leg of the tube and normally having a portion extending therefrom, and a llexible cable in the tube between the ends of the rods, downward pressure against the exposed end of the second mentioned rod raising the lid, release of pressure permitting the lid to gravitate to closed position.
2. In a smokers article, a base member forming an ash tray, a receptacle, means supporting the receptacle above the ash tray, a lid on the receptacle, a U-shaped tube having parallel legs, one leg extending upwardly from the center of the ash tray and through the center of the receptacle, the other leg extending upwardly `from the peripheral edge of the ash tray externally of the receptacle, a rod carried by the lid and slidably positioned in the first mentioned leg of the tube, a second rod slidably mounted in the second mentioned leg of the tube and normally having a portion extending therefrom, and a ilexible cable in the tube between the ends of the rods, downward pressure against the exposed end of the second mentioned rod raising the lid, release of pressure permitting the lid to gravitate to closed position.
