Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 16, 1917.
Application filed November 22, 1915. Serial No. 62,757.
other dish to receive cigar ashes while one enjoys his after dinner smoke. With this means at hand, a smoker will not place his cigar ashes upon the plate.
Another object of the invention is-tQprovide simple means for attaching the tray to rims of dishes of various inclinations, which means will permit the adjustment of.
the tray to a horizontal position and hold the same against tilting.
. A further object of this invention is to design the attaching means so that it may serve as a foot'for the tray, when it is desired to simply stand the tray upon the table. In order that the invention may be clearly understood, the same will be hereinafter fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate one form of the device, and the novel features thereof will be distinctly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the drawings like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts. I
Figure 1 is a side elevation of an ash tray constructed in accordance with my invention and applied to the rim of a plate, Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the attaching spring, Fig. 3 is a cross sectional View, taken on line 33 of Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 is an enlarged view of the attaching spring, illustrating it as a foot and showing how the tray is held thereon in a set position. I
Referring to the drawings, 1 represents a plate or other dish having a rim 2. from which is supported the ash tray. A suitable spring formed from flat material is employed to attach the ash tray to the rim of the dish. This springconsists of a straight lower or under side 3, which is bent over at 4 and curved on the arc of a circle as shown at 5, and then extends parallel with said under side at 6 to springingly engage the rim of the dish. The free end of the upper side of the spring is slightly curved upwardly at 7 and the lower side thereof beveled at 8, for more easy attachment of the spring to 'the rim of the dish.
The ash tray may be of any desired deslgn. As shown, it comprises a bowl 9 havlng a cigar holding extension 10.
An important feature of this invention is thatthe ash tray may be slidably adjusted upon the arc of the attaching spring so that it may have a fixed horizontal position irrespective of the angle at which the spring stands. This is accomplished by securing a headed pin 11 to the bottom of the bowl of the ash tray, which pin passes through a longitudinal slot 12 in said are 5 of the above described attaching spring. The head of the pin 11 snugly engages the underside of the arc of the spring, and because of this and also on account of the resiliency of said arc, the ash tray will be frictionally held in a desired set position.
Instead of employing the pin 11, the same results may be obtained by fixing to the bottom of the bowl of the ash tray, a strap 13 forming a rectangular eye, through which said are 5 of the attaching spring passes. The edges 14 of the eye strap 13 engage the underside of the are 5 of the spring while the bottom of the bowl of the ash tray engages the top side thereof. This permits sliding adjustment of the ash trayupon the arc of the spring, but the action of the spring will retain it in a set position. The ash tray may be moved to and held in a horizontal position when the attaching spring is fixed to the rim of a plate as illustrated in Fig. 1, or when it' serves the purpose of a foot for standing upon a table as in Fig. 4.
It will be understood that slight changes in the details of construction may be made without departing from the principle of the invention as defined by the claims.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim is:
1." An ash tray comprising a bowl, a spring for attachment to a support, the spring having a curved portion forming an arc, and the bowl being provided with means for engaging said are whereby the bowl may be slidably mounted but will be held in a set position by friction exerted by the springy action of the arc, substantially as described.
2. An ash tray comprising a bowl, a spring formed of fiat material the spring consisting of a straight lower side, the lower side being bent over and forming an arc then extending parallel with said lower side, and
portion of the spring being provided with a slot, a pin projecting from said bowl and. adapted to slide in said slot of the spring, 10 and the pin having a head for engaging the curved portion of the spring to hold said bowl in .a set position, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof Laflix my signature. 15
