UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOHN F. DOWNEY, OF PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND, ASSIGNOB TO UNIVERSAL ASH TRAY COMPANY, INC., OF PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND, A CORPORATION OF BHODE ISLAND.
ASH TRAY.
Original No. 1,872,124, dated latch 22, 1921, Serial No. 889,778, flied Jane 17, 1920. Application for reissue died June 14, 1922. Serial No. 568,287.
To all whom it may com-em:
Be it known that I, JQHN F. DOWNEY, a citizen of the United States, residingin the city of Providence, county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented certain new and useful Improvements n Ash Trays, of which the following a specification, reference being had therein to the ac'ompanying drawing.
This invention relates to a combined ashtray and cigarette-extinguishing device, and has for its object to provide a simple and inexpensive device of this character which may serve as a table ornament and also as an ash tray, the same comprising a base having one or more holes in its face, of a size to receive the lighted end of a cigarette, whereby when placed therein the fire will at once be smothered and so extinguished.
A further object of the invention is the provision of a removable bushing in the bores of the base whereby the bushing which forms a cup, may be readil removed to clean and discharge'the ashes t erefrom.
By the use of this device any desired number of cigarette-receiving pockets may be formed in a single ash-tray or base.
The nature and advantages of the invention will be betterunderstood when the following detailed-description is taken in connection withthe accompanying drawing, the inventionresiding in'the combination and arrangement of parts as claimed.
In the drawing forming part of this specification, like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views and where- 1n:
Figure 1 is a sedtional elevation on line 1--1 of Figure 2. showing my improved ashtray. 7
Figure 2 is a plan view of the same.
Figure 3 is a perspective view showing one of the bushings removed from the ashtray or base.
igure 4 is a sectional view illustrating a portion of an ash-tray, showing the hole in the base portion thereof which is adapted to receive and smother the lighted end of a cigarette.
As is well known by cigarette smokers a lighted cigarette upon being laid down in a tray or elsewhere, continues to burn until the whole is consumed, which often is very objectionable and annoying particularly to the non-smokers in the room.
It is also well known that considerable manipulation is usually required in order to extinguish a lighted cigarette. Therefore it is found desirable to provide means whereby the cigarette may be readily extinguished without effort on the part of the smoker, which result is accomplished by sim' ply placing the lighted end of the cigarette mto any one of the holesprovided 1n the base for this purpose.
With reference to the drawings, 10 designates the base member of the ash-tray or receiver, which may be formed of a block of any material and in any desired form, which block may, if desired, be provided with a central recess 11 in which is set a removable lining 12 of metal, glass or other suitable material, and this block or boss may also be provided with a plurality of radially-disposed grooves 13 which are adapted to serve as rests or supports for partially smoked'cigars.
I have also shown this'block as being provided with a plurality of holes 14 into each of which is set a thimble-shaped bushing 15 having a central bore 16 of substantially the diameter of a cigarette and of a suitable depth to receive and support the lighted en of a cigarette therein so that when this lighted end is deposited'into this recess the fire is at once smothered and extinguished.
These bushings preferably fit loosely into the holescin the block and are rovided each with a head-portion 17 where y it may be readily removed to discharge the ashes which may collect therein. Then again this bushing is preferably made of glass or metal so that it will not burn or char by repeated contacts with the fire of the cigarette.
By the use of my improved base member any number of cigarette-receiving pockets may be provided and this base may also serve as illustrated in Figure 2, for receiving ashes from cigars and pipes as well as from cigarettes.
do not wish to be restricted to the pro vision of a bushin placed in the holes in the base block as t e bore of these holes in the block may be of a size to substantially fit a ci arette, as illustrated at 18 in Figure 4, 1 desired.
The device is extremely sim 1e and inex-v pensive in construction and e ective in its operation inasmuch as the li hted end of a 01 rette may be readily positioned therein, w ich operation uickly chokes, smothers and extinguishes t e same ivithout further attention on the art of the user and when a thimble-shaped bushin is employed it may be made of non-inflamma 1e material such-as glass or metal to be readily removed for the urpose of discharging the ashes deposited erein.
The foregoing description is directed solely towards the construction illustrated, but I desire it to be understood that I reserve the privilege of resortin to all the mechanical changes tocwhich' t e device is susceptible, the invention being defined and limited only by the terms of the appended claims. n
I claim: 1. An ash tray comprising a base recessed to receive ashes and provided with a hole 'of a substantial depth in its face, said hole having a closed bottom portion and said hole bein of a diameter to approximately fit and ad apted to receive the lighted end of a cigarette so that said end will engage the botfitting said bore, said bushing of a avmg a tom of the hole to smother and at once exti ish the fire therein.
An ash tray com rising a base provided with a bore a rea lly-removable bushing non-combustible material and hole of a diameter and depth to receive and sup port a cigarette set endways therein to smother and extinguish its lighted end.
3. A smokers, article of the class described embracin in its construction an ash trag' formed wit an ash receiving recess an provided with an extin is'hing socket open at its upper end and c osed at its bottom,- the internal diameter of said extinguisher socket bein of a size approximately the diameter of a cigarette or the like whereby the lighted end of such cigarette when inserted in the'socket will be cut of from the external air and become extinguished, substantially asdescribed,
4. An ash tray formed with a recess for ashes and provided with an extinguisher socket closed at one end and open at the other end, said socket being of a diameter approximatel equal to that of a ,cig'arette or the like, an stantiall as described;
In testimon whereo I aflix my signature in presence 0 two witnesses.
