Application May 24, 1935. Serial No. zasos lclaim.
This invention has reference generally to improvements in smokers appliances and more particularly relates to an improved pocket ash tray.
It is the primary aim and object of the present invention to provide a device oi the above character designed to be carried in a pocket or purse the user and when in use may be arranged in an open position to rest on the arm of a chair, table or other stand to support the cigar or cigarette 1 and to receive the ashes and stubs thereof the device being ioldable after use and arranged in closed position so as to be carried in the pocket or bag without spilling the ashes until such time as it may be convenient for the user to remove and empty the contents.
More particularly the present invention consists in the provision of a pocket ash tray briefly comprising a pair of. container sections removably associated with each other, one of the sections having an opening therein while a cigar or cigarette is also associated with one of the sections and is adapted to be arranged adjacent the opening so that the ashes from the cigarette or cigar adapted for positioning on the rest will fall 25 into the container, suitable means being provided for closing the opening when the device is not in use.
Other objects as well as the nature, characteristic features and scope of the invention will be 39 more readily apparent taken in connection with the accompanying drawing and pointed out in the accompanying specification.
The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:-
5 Fig. 1 is a perspective view of one form of the invention arranged in closed position,
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the form shown in Fig. 1 of the device shown in open position,
Fig. 3 is a. longitudinal sectional view of the ar- 40 rangement shown in Fig. 2 taken for instance on line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2 with the container sections in open positions, and
45 Fig. 5 is a fragmentary sectional view on the line 5-5 of Fi 2.
Similar characters of reference are employed in all of the above described views to indicate corresponding parts.
50 With more particular reference to the drawing there is provided a sectional container consisting oi a body section to which is suitably connected as by hinge 2| a cover or lid section 22, the parts being adapted to be swung to an open 55 position as shown in Fig. 4 for a complete emptying of the contents and to be removably retained in a closed position by suitable catch means 22'. These sections are preferably rectangular in cross section and are provided with conventional flange-like walls. The cover or lid section 22 is 5 provided with an opening 22 removably closed by a flap-like closure plate 24 swingably connected as by a hinge 25 to the cover section. When in a closed position the edges of the closure flap or plate rest on a ledge 28 carried with the 0 undersurface of the cover section 22 as clearly shown in Figs. 2 and 3. A rest 21 adapted to receive a cigarette or cigar is mounted on the undersuri'ace of the flap, the point of connection of the rest with the flap being bent or shaped to pro- 1 vide a recess 28 so that when swung in the position indicated by an arrow in Fig. 3 and a closed position as shown in Fig. 1 the adjacent edge oi! the rest will strike the spring keeper 29, the latter moving to allow complete closure and then automatically engaging the recess 28 to prevent accidental displacement. This spring catch is fitted with an actuating member 38 which is arranged through an opening in the cover section in order that the catch may be manually moved to release the closed flap when it. is desired to move the same into open position. This latter action is automatically eflected by means of a spring 3| one end of which is fixed as at 32 to the inner surface of a cover plate while the outer portion is curved as at 33 and always bears against the adjacent surface of the closure flap or plate. The spring catch 29 is of course stronger than the spring 3| so that there is no danger of accidental opening of the closure plate until the knob is 35 actuated.
Assuming that the parts are normally closed as indicated in Fig. 1 when it is desired to open the device it is only necessary to exert a pull on the knob 30 whereupon the spring 3i acts to swing the closure plate or flap 24 to the position shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The device is now positioned so that the cigarette or cigar may be supported on the rest 21, ashes and stubs may be arranged through the opening 23. When it is not desired to use the device further the flap is swung against the tension of the spring 3| and the recess or keeper 28 engaged by the spring arm 29 so as to hold the plate or flap against the ledge 26, in order .that the device. may be conveniently carried in of the receptacle, 9. rest adapted for receiving a cigarette or cigar carried by the under-surface o! the closure plate, said rest at its point of connection with the outer edge of the closure plate being provided with a recess, spring means for normally acting upon the closure plate to effect automatic opening thereof, and a manually operable spring catch carried by the receptacle and adapted to removably engage the recess in the rest to normally retain the plate in closed position.
