CIGARETTE SNUFFER Filed Reb. 24, 1967 Patented Mar. 11, 1969 3,431,916 CIGARETTE SNUFFER Glenn Gary Davis and Robert Walton Dahlin, Palm Springs, Calif., assignors of fifty percent to Morris Laville Filed Feb. 24, 1967, Ser. No. 618,504 U.S. Cl. 131-256 Int. Cl. A241? 13/18, 19/14, 15/18 1 Claim ABSTRACT F THE DISCLOSURE A tubular cigarette snuffer having an annular groove to snap into place in an ash tray adapter or the like.
Background of the invention This invention relates to devices for extinguishing cigarettes or the like, and more particularly to a snuffer.
Although the invention has been found useful when employed in an ash tray of an automobile, it is, of course, not limited to this particular type of application.
In the past, it has been the practice to provide a projection in an ash tray of an automobile to remove the ash tray from a cigarette to extinguish it. However, these devices frequently do not perform their intended function.
Summary of the invention Brief description of the drawings FIG. 1 is a top plan View of the cigarette snuifer of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the apparatus taken on the line 2-2 shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a side elevational view thereof;
FIG. 4 is a side elevational view of an adaptor ernployed with the present invention;
FIG. 5 is a top plan view of the adaptor; 4and FIG. 6 is a perspective View illustrating an alternate use of the invention.
Description of the preferred embodiments In FIG. 1, a cigarette snulfer is indicated at 10 pressed through an adaptor 11. As shown in FIG. 2, snuier 10 has a ange 12 which lits on the top surface of the adaptor 11. Snuifer 10 has a groove 13 immediately below flange 12. Adaptor 11 has a hole 14 therethrough. Snulfer 10 is pushed through hole 14 and is snap t in adaptor 11. Adaptor 11 has a projection 15 which is adapted to lit in a hole 16 of an ash tray plate 17.
As shown in FIG. 4, projection 15 has prongs 18 and 19 which spring together to allow projection 15 to snap lit into hole 16. Projection 15 has a rib 20 therearound to retain it in plate 17.
An alternate position for snufler 10 is shown in FIG. 6 in the top of a flip top type of cigarette package.
We claim:
1. In combination, a cigarette package having a closed bottom and an open top and a relatively hard paper top having a horizontal member swingable from open to closed positions relative to said top, said paper top including an opening therethrough; and a hollow cylindrical receptacle having a closed lower end and an open end. said open end including an enlarged horizontal ange and a circumferentially extending groove on the outer cylindrical surface thereof immediately adjacent and ybelow the flange, such that when the receptacle is fully received within the opening of the paper top, the portions thereof defining the opening are anchored within said groove.
