ASH RECEIVER Filed June 11, 1 934 Rudo\p}\ F. e. oex I 355.2:uma "7/ Patented May 7, 1935 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE ASH RECEIVER Rudolph De Boer, Grand Rapids, Mich.
Application June 11, 1934, Serial No. 729,979
11 Claims. (Cl. 206-195) This invention relates generally to a container and to supporting means therefor and more particularly to an ash receiver mounted in an opening in a supported plate or supporting member and is especially intended for use in automobiles.
The primary purpose of the present invention is to produce an ash receiver which is easily swung to open position and when in its open position the container is very accessible and is easily 1o removable for purposes of emptying.
One of the objects of my invention resides in the fact that when the receiver is in closed position the container is concealed and the opening therefore closed so that no smoke may escape therefrom and when in the closed position the container is out of sight and out of the way. Another advantage of my invention resides in the fact that the receiver stays in the position in which it is placed and is yieldably held in its closed or open position.
Another advantage of the invention is that it is so constructed that it is easily installed, and easy to operate, and from a manufacturing standpoint it isvery simple in construction, economical to manufacture and easy to assemble. The invention is also ornamental and attractive in appearance because of its particular shape and construction.
Another advantage of the invention is that it is mounted in such a manner that it will not mar the panel around it on which it is mounted.
An understanding of the invention and the simple and economical construction which has been produced may be had from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawingin which,
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of my invention in closed position.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same with the supporting plate in section.
Fig. 3 is a vertical cross section on the line of 3-3 of Fig. l of the ash receiver in closed position.
Fig. 4 is a horizontal cross section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 1 with the receiver in closed position.
Fig. 5 is a plan view with the receiver in open position showing the outer shell and the supporting panel in cross section.
Fig. 6 is a fragmentary horizontal section through the panel and outer shell showing the mounting therefor.
Fig. 7 is a fragmentary plan view of the outer shell showing the pivotal mounting for the ash container, and
Fig. 8 is a vertical section through Fig. 7.
Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several Views of the drawing.
The invention consists of an outer semi-spherical shell I which at its front side is provided with a circular flange 2 in the form of a return bend. 5 This outer shell is pierced at horizontally diametrically opposite sides to form ears 3. The ears 3 are provided with screw receiving openings 4 and have conical depressions to receive the screw heads.
This outer shell I is inserted through a circular opening 5 in a supporting plate 6, the supporting plate 6 having diametrically opposed ears 1 formed thereon. An opening is formed through the ears I by forming a screw threaded. sleeve 15 thereon. Flat head screws 9 pass through the openings 4 and the threaded sleeves 8 to hold the shell I in the opening 5 of the supporting plate in such a manner that the flange 2 is held spaced from the supporting plate 6. In most cases the 25 supporting plate 6' will have a painted finish on it, therefore the flange 2 is held spaced from it to prevent the flange contacting with the plate which might cause chipping of the paint.
Mounted on the shell I, in vertical alinement, 30 are the pivot pins l 0 on which the container support II is pivoted. This container support com prises a semi-spherical portion I 2 and an outwardly extending portion l3 and terminates at its outer edge in the rearwardly extending circular band It. Adjacent each of the pivot pins ID are the indentations l5 which frictionally engage the band l4 to space the band properly from the inner side of the shell I and also to frictionally engage the band so that its pivotal move- 40 ment will not be too free. The container support is also provided with a finished cover I 6 which is of semi-spherical shape and fits directly over the semi-spherical portion l2 of the container support, the finished cover being held in place by the rivet H.
The ash container proper, which is held frictionally within the container support, comprises a semi-spherical shaped back portion l9 which continues outwardly in the radial flat portion 20 and terminates at its outer edge in the rearwardly extending annular band portion 2|. The outer surface of the band 2| and the inner surface of the band l4 frictionally engage each other to hold the ash container in its supported position. The ash container also has a rearwardly extending semi-sphericalportion .22 which is cut away at its upper side as shown at 23 to form the opening 24 therein. The shell 22 is positioned within the circular band 2| and is formed as an integral part'therewith preferably by welding.
It will be noted that the semi-spherical or dome shaped portion IQ of the container is formed with a greater radius than that of the senilspherical or dome shaped portion I2 of the container support whereby a. space is provided between the domes whereby heat in the container, caused by hot ashes or lighted cigar or cigarette stubs, will not be transmitted to the decoratively finished surface of the finished cover l6 which would change the color of the decoration.
Means are provided for yieldably holding the ash container in either its closed or open position which is accomplished by piercing the outer shell I to form the positioning spring 25 thereon. The positioning spring is bent so that it has an inwardly extending engaging portion 26. When the container is in closed position the engaging portion 26 yieldably presses against the rearward edge of the bar 2| which has a tendency to hold the container in the closed position. When the container is in open position as shown in Fig. 5 the engaging portion 26 yieldably contacts the flange l4 adjacent the portion l3 tending to hold the container in its open position. This is very desirable in that when the receiver is mounted on an automobile considerable vibration is set up and it is desirable to have means provided to hold the container in the position selected.
To open the container, the container support II is pushed inwardly at-either side of vertical center and the support will rotate, after enough pressure has been exerted to overcome the resistance of the springs 25. Further rotation will bring the ash contai er proper to an outwardly extending position where it is yieldably held by the springs 25 and where it is accessible for the reception of ashes, cigar and cigarette stubs and where it is accessible for removal for emptying. To empty the container it is easily removed from its pivoted support in which it is held by friction and by vacuum.
In the manufacture of the present invention only a few parts are required which are of simple shape and are easily stamped and assembled.
From the foregoing description it will be seen that an ash receiver has been constructed which, owing to its particular construction, is easily installed, easy to operate, simple in construction, economical to manufacture and is very orna- 'mental and attractive in appearance.
Having thus described my invention, the particular construction which I claim as new is defined in the appended claims and which are to be considered comprehensive of all forms of structure coming within their scope.
bodily through said opening and attached to said supporting plate, an ash receiver pivoted to said shell, and means for yieldably holding the pivoted receiver in selected pivotal positions.
3. In an article of the class described comprising, a shell, and a container support pivoted on said shell, detents extending inwardly from said shell to properly space the container support from the shell.
4.
