CIGARETTE-EXTINGUISHER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 30, 1907.
Application filed anuary 26, 1907. serial No. 354.190.
To all whom it may concern: I
Be it known that I, ELIZABETH F. .TonNsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in CigareMac-Extinguishers, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object of the present invention is to provide means whereby cigarettes may be readily and completely extinguished, and to so construct the extinguishing device that it may be placed and used upon an ordinary table or in other positions where it may be convenient to have such an article.
As is well known to users of tobacco, it is the common practice among cigarette smokers, when occasion arises to lay aside a burning cigarette, to merely place the same, still burning, in a smokers tray provided for such purposes. If this should occur in a dining room or at a card table, the slow burning of the cigarette fills the room with an obnoxious odor, which is excessively disagreeable. Frequently the person using the cigarette recognizes this fact and endeavors to extinguish the cigarette by pressing the lighted end down upon the tray, crushing or smearing the end over the tray until the fire is extinguished. This may be more or less successful, depending upon the character of the tobacco in the cigarette and the manipulative skill of the smoker. But whether the smoker is successful in extinguishing the cigarette or not, he succeeds in breaking and spreading the end of the cigarette until he has left an unsightly looking stub, besides, in all probability, burning or blackening his fingers. I have, however, devised a mechanism whereby the cigarette may be immediately and successfully extinguished without any of the disagreeable features noted above, and I have shown in the accompanying drawings an embodiment of my invention.
In the drawings, Figure 1 presents a perspective view of the extinguishing device. Fig. 2 is a detail section showing the operative structure.
A frame or base A of any suitable design, character or construction is used to support the extinguishing device, and in the form shown I provide a cross arm A, on which the extinguishing device is mounted. :Suitably secured to this cross arm is the base plate B of the extinguisher, which plate has a perforation B at one end which may be surrounded by an upwardly projecting peripheral flange B somewhat conical in shape, which serves to round off the edge of the opening. Brojecting downwardly from this end of the plate is an extinguishing jaw B sufficiently rigid in construction for the purpose of operation. The sides of the plate B are curled back and under to form ways B designed to receive a sliding plate C which reciprocates back and forth in these ways. This sliding plate has projecting downwardly from the end near the opening B an extinguishing jaw C which is designed to cooperate with the stationary jaw B in crushing and extinguishing a cigarette held between these jaws. For the purpose of reciprocating the removable jaw G I provide a toggle composed of links D, D ,the
link D being pivoted to cars projecting upwardly from' the inner end of the plate 0, and the link D being pivotally held between cars at the outer end of the stationary plate B. A spring D tends to throw the link D upwardly and hold the toggle in such position that the plate O, and consequently the jaw C are in a retracted position, leaving an open space between the jaw C and the jaw 13'' into which the lighted end of a cigarette may be held.
I preferably provide one link of the toggle, as D,
with a broad finger surface D designed to receive a pressure from the hand or one of the fingers, whereby the toggle may be pressed outward toward a more nearly straight position, and cause the jaw O to advance toward the jaw B This form of operating mechanism is the most powerful known, and by merely resting the weight of the hand or exerting a slight pressure upon the surface D it will be evident that the soft cigarette end may be. crushed so that the fire there- .in will be entirely smothered immediately. Upon removing the pressure from the surface D the spring D will immediately throw the toggle back into its normal position, and the cigarette stump may be allowed to fall through the jaws into the receptacle below.
Many modifications in details and in ornamentation may of course be made without departing from the,
spirit of my invention.
Having described my invention, I claim:
. 1. A cigarette extinguisher comprising two crushing jaws mounted on a frame with a clearance between the same into which a cigarette may be advanced, and means whereby one of the jaws may be advanced toward the other.
2. A cigarette, extinguisher comprising two crushing jaws, one of which is movable toward the other, and a toggle attached to the movable jaw having a pressure receiving surface, whereby the link may be straightened out in such manner as to cause the movable jaw to advance toward the other jaw.
A cigarette extinguisher comprising a fixed jaw, and a movable jaw, said jaws shaped and positioned to form cooperating and crushing members, means for holding the movable jaw normally away from the fixed jaw, and hand operative means for advancing the movable jaw toward the fixed jaw.
4. A cigarette extinguisher comprising a supporting frame, a base plate supported thereby and having thereon a fixed jaw, a movable jaw adapted to be advanced toward said fixed jaw, and sliding ways rigid with said base plate,
a toggle, one link of which is attached to the movable jaw and the other link of which is attached to a part-rigid wjth the base plate, suid linkbeing provided with u pressure receiving surface, and a spring mounted so as to hold the toggle in i1 position in which a movable jaw is normally retracted from the fixed jaw.
5. A cigarette extinguisher comprising two jaws shaped to crush a cigarette therebetween, means whereby relative movement between the Jaws to bring their crushing surfaces together may be effected, and rotraeting means for 10 separating the jaws and holding them in the position in which the cigarette may be inserted therehetween.
in testimony whereof, I hereunto aflix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
