Description
April 20, 1943. E. P. AGHNIDES ASH TRAY Filed March 11, 1940 Patented Apr. 20, 1943 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE ASH TRAY Elie P. Aghnides, New York, N. Y.
Application March 11, 1940, Serial No. 323,459 In Belgium April 25, 1939 8 Claims.
My invention relates to an ash tray and one of the objects is to provide a tray of this type that can be taken apart and readily cleaned. With the usual type of ash try that is made in one piece and has a shallow receptacle in which the cigarette ends, match ends and ashes are introduced, there is the objection that the burning cigarette ends ignite the already extinguished butts thus producing a bad smell. Often the receptacle contains a liquid to make sure that the burning cigarette end is extinguished. Such type of ash trays are not handy, are awkward in appearance and generally meet with little public approval.
In another known type of ash tray, vertical holes are provided in which the cigarette butts are introduced individually. Such ash trays do not permit of easy cleaning and for this reason they have not gone into extensive use.
The ash tray of my invention provides in addition to the features which are common to any ash tray, one or more tubular inclined cavities in which the cigarette butts may he slipped and extinguished instantly, these cavities being so designed and arranged as that they can be cleaned easily. The trays are preferably made of glass or other moldable material.
While ash trays having vertical holes have been made in two separate parts, there are decided advantages in having the holes in an inclined position. Longer holes can be provided when they are inclined and this can be done without increasing the height of the tray over the ordinary ash tray. The inclined cavity is easier to mold and cheaper to make.
Referring to the drawing for a more complete disclosure of the invention, Fig. l is a fragmentary view in plan of the preferred form of my invention; Fig. 2 is an elevation of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a section on the line 66 of Fig. 1; Fig. 4 is a vertical transverse section of a modification; and Fig. 5 is a fragmentary elevation of Fig. 4.
Referring now to Fig. 3, there is a dished base portion lb, that has molded in it, a plurality of inclined grooves 1b that are radially disposed. There is a superposed molded dished ash receiving portion 21) which overlies the base portion and forms tubular cavities 9b that are closed at the lower end and open out through the side wall of the tray. These grooves in association with the overlying portion provide a series of tubular cavities, one end of which is open for inserting the cigarette butt and the other end closed to cut off the supply of air and cause rapid extinction of the lighted cigarette.
The depth of the 5.5
tubular cavities is such as to prevent crushing of the butt by the smoker. When the two parts of the ash tray are disassembled they can be easily cleaned. In the form where the grooves 111 are on the lower part, if the part 211 is lifted, it can be replaced without inconvenience. If however the groove was on the upper part and the flat portion on the lower part, the butts would slide along the flat portion and the upper part could not be replaced without cleaning the lower part.
In the modification shown in Fig. 4, the radial grooves 10 are formed in the upper dished portion which overlies the lower base portion la. The two portions are properly located relative to each other by the interlocking bead I3 and groove l4 on the respective portions. The two parts lo and 2c are identical in construction so that a third or fourth part can be placed in position, or each part can be used separately as an ordinary ash tray.
When the two parts are interchangeable, there is less molding expense. There is also greater capacity, for by lifting the upper part, the butts slide and fall into the central part and the holes are again free. When the holes are filled, the upper part can be put below and the lower part on top.
An important advantage in the construction of ash trays of the above types is that the two parts can be manufactured equally easily. In one piece ash trays provided with cavities, they can be molded only if the holes are vertical. This permits the making in plastics or other moldable material, of ash trays having tubular cavities laterally disposed and deep enough to prevent the crushing of the butt at the bottom of the cavity, the inclination of the tubular cavities permitting the making of such an ash tray almost as low as the height of an ordinary ash tray. When the two parts are in position to form vertical tubular portions of suificient depth to prevent the crushing of the cigarette end, then the height of the tray will necessarily be greater.
I claim:
1. An ash tray comprising two superposed nested parts, freely separable by merely lifting one off of the other, the upper part being a tray adapted to receive cigarette ashes and the like, the lower part being a tray adapted to receive cigarette ashes and the like after the upper part has been removed, an inclined elongated cavity between the parts, one end of the cavity being open to permit inserting therein a lighted cigabeing adapted to receive cigarette ashes and the like after the upper tray has been removed.
3. The ash tray of claim l'in which the upper part forms a side wall of the cavity between the parts.
4. The ash tray of claim 1 in which the lower part forms a side wall of the cavity between the parts.
5. The ash tray of the claim 1 in which the two parts are interchangeable.
6. The ash tray of claim 1 in which there is a plurality of inclined elongated cavities.
7. The ash tray of claim 1 in which the main portion of the cavity is in the lower part.
8. The ash tray of claim 1 in which the main portion of the cavity is in the upper part.
i ELIE P. AGHNIDES.
