ASH-RECEIVER AN D HOLDER.
i Specification of Letters latent.
Application filed December 21, 1911. Serial No. 667,086.
'is easily and quickly cleaned, strong and durable of construction, as hereinafter described. i j
Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a. perspective view of the preferred form of an ash receiver and holder embodying my invention, the sliding bottom being partially withdrawn. Fig. 2 is a medial longitudinal vertical section of the device shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of my improved ash receiver Ihaving a modified form of holder.
In these drawings 1 indicates the top ofmy improved ash receiver having a plurality, of radial openings therein.
2 represents the sides, and 3 one Aof the ends of the receptacle, these being rigidly secured to the top 1. Longitudinal grooves 4 are provided in the lower portion of the sides and end formed to receive the edges respectively of a substantially flat sliding bottom 5. In practice, I prefer to make the bottom slightly concave and toA apply some ornamentation thereto as the same is Adis,- tinctly visible through the openings in the top. Short sides 6 are secured at one end of the sliding bottom, as is also an end member 7 so formed as to close the end of the box when the drawer or sliding bottom entirely occupies the grooves 4. It will be seen that' the sides 6 together with the end 7 form a pocket for holding ashes, cigar butts, burnt matches, and the like, when it is desired to remove same from the receptacle, this refuse being readily collected in said pocket by merelyslanting the receptacle. The side members 6 have the further function of holding the bottom in closed position by frictional contact with the inner surface of the sides 2, these short sides being preferably of thin metal having resiliency or spring. A notch 8 in the bottom of the drawer facilitates withdrawing same when closed. In the preferred form of construction rounded rod-like members 9 extend radially from the edges of the top to a Patented oct.. 29, 1912.'l
On the central portion 10, I preferably affix by means of screws 11 an opstanding bifurcated holding member 12, which, in Figs. 1 and 2, is arranged to accommodate a match box 13 of the usual form. This member 12 is provided with, a central portion 14 formed to interit the box and prevent laterai move# lment thereof between the sides of the holder andto cause the matches resting thereon toprojectslightly above the open top edges ofthe box. 'I his construction of the box holder is old and its use and' opera# tion are well understood. Atthe'top of the sides of the member 12, however, I prterably provide a molding 15, not dnly for the sake of appearance but to prevent the-finger; -and thumb froin-,slidingF-oif when the de-l thei vice is grasped by theupstanding vmember-v Y 12. On the sides of the holder 12 I prefer!- ably provide roughened surfaces lo' for' striking matches. The match-striking surfacesl 1T on the match box 13 are exposed in the usual manner as shown in Fig. 1.`
In'V the construction shown in Fig. 3 the opstanding bifurcated member 17 is of such shape that a cigar or cigarette may be conveniently rested between the t\vo sides 5 thereof, in which arrangement ashes or tire falling from the cigar or cigarette end will be caught within the receptacle. The sides of this form of holder are so spaced that a match box may be inserted therebet\\'een and held by frictional contact. Matchstriking surfaces 1S are provided on the sides of this holding member, as in the device of Fig. l.
My improved receptacle and holder is particularly useful in first-,class hotels, restaurants, and the like, where the requirements of neatness, cleanliness, and expedi- -tion in service are exacting. After the receptacle has been used, the contents thereof are quickly conveyed between the shoii'A sides of the sliding bottom by tilting the device and the drawer is then withdrawn and the cigar ashes, butts, etc., emptied. By now merely passing a cloth over the various surthat the made preferably of faces of the receptacle, the device is uickly made ready for another guest. It is argely to facilitate the expeditious 'cleaningof the device that I preferablyl employ a bottom member open substantially at its sides and one end, the cleaning cloth thus being pernit-ted to pass quickly over `its entire surace.
In the use of this improved ashreceiver and holder, a match is taken from the top of the box and struck upon the roughened surface 16 of the holder or 17 of the box, the receptacle proper or base of the device in either -event taking the thrust of the stroke. Should the match break or particles of burning phosphorus .be discharged during the striking operation, the burning substances will fall `safely into the receptacle below. The same is also true, of course, in the arrangement of Fig. 3. It is thus seen provision of a match-striking surface abovea receptacle having jopenings in the top thereof is of great utility in the combined operation and functions" of the 'two parts.
My improved holder and receptacle is metal, by casting, stamping or other well-known method. I have found both aluminum and bronze very satisfactory, although other metals and substances may be used according to any particular requirements as to cost, durabilityor finish. y y
While I have illustrated and described the preferred and a modified form of my improved holder land receptacle, as these are capable of modification withoutl depart- -ing from the spirit of my invention, I do notl limit myself thereto, but refer to the appended claims to indicate the scope of my invention.
Having described my invention, what I claimas new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is: u
1. A device of the kind described comprising a receptacle provided with a' perforated top, two sides and one end depended from said top and a bottom portion carrying one end and removably secured thereto;
and two resilient short side portions carried by said bottom portion for frictionally maintaining said bottom portion in normal position, substantially as described.
2. A device of the kind described comprising a receptacle provided with a perforated top, two sides and one end depended from said top and a bottom portion carrying one end and removably secured thereto; two resilient short side portions carried by said bottom portion for frictionally maintaining' said bottom portion in normal position; and means in said bottom portion to facilitate bmanually removing sa1d bottom portion, substantially as described.
3. A device of the kind described comprising al receptacle provided with a perforated top, two sides and one end depended from said top and a bottom portion carrying one end and removably secured thereto; two resilient short side portions carried by said bottom portion for frictionally maintaining said bottom portion in normal position; and a bifurcated upstanding member provided with match striking surfaces carried on said perforated top, substantially as described. y
4. A device of the kind described comprising a receptacle provided with a perforated top, two sides and one end depended from said top and a bott-om portion carrying one end and removably secured thereto; two resilient short side portions carried by said bottom portion for frictionally maintaining said bottom portion in normal position; a bifurcated upstanding member provided with match striking surfaces carried on said'perforated top; and lateral projections onusaid bifurcated upstanding members toA facilitate manually lifting the device, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specitication in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.'
