RECEPTACLE.

Application filed July 28, 1926, Serial No.

provide a structure dnlicnlt to turn over.

Still another object is to provide a receiver which, even when reversed, does not permit. the matter contained therein to be spilled.

Further objects will appear in the course of the detailed description which will nowbe given with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which': Fig. 1 represents a vertical section through an ash receiver embodying the invention.

Fig. 2 is a plan view ot the same. Figs. 3 and 4 illustrate the device half and entirely inverted.

Figs. 5 and 6 illustrate in perspective and in section a second form of receiver.

Referring to the Figspl to 4, there is shown a storing receptacle 1, having the form of a cup, fitted with a correspondent cover member 2. Members 1 and 2 may be joined by any convenient means, advantageously by a frictional fit 3 or by means permitting members being screwed onto one another. Cover member 2 is spun or othera wise formed to provide a funnel member 4' and, if desired, recesses 5 for holding cigars, cigarettes or pipes. The apparatus is completed by a receiving receptacle 6 of conical or, preferably, of paraboloidic form riveted or otherwise fastened to 1 at 7. .To increase the stability of the device, and to permitit returning more or less automatically to its normal position when brought out of the latter, amass of lead or simi ar heav material 8 may be placed in the bottom 0 1, and, for a similar purpose, a disc of rubber 9 may be provided under said bottoni.

The manner in which the device ofiarates when utilizedas anash receiver is as fol lows:

The ashes are as ordinarily put in the aperture of cover 2 and then they fall in the 125,382, and in France December 11, 1925 receptacle 6 where they remain until the receiver isinverted. At this moment, the ashes slide along the wall A B (Fig. 3) as the turning movement begins, strike against surface C l) as the turning movement is increased, (Fig. 4) and lodge themselves in.compartment .1) E F when the apparatus has been completely turned over (Fig. 4). When the receiver is turned back to its normal position, the ashes drop from D E 1* into, the annular space between receptacles 1 and (l. Receptacle 6 is thus emptied and presents a clean appearance to the eye. Each of the surfaces (l I), l) E and E F forming the cover member 2 have a definite function: I) 0 guides the ashes into receptacle 6 and serves to deflect the former tmvard D E F when the device is inverted; I) E F serves as a storing compartment for the ashes primarily nut in receptacle 1; I) E, which is preferaily in line with wall A B of receptacle (3, serves to deflect the ashes so that the latter do not fall back into same receptacle (3 or fall out of receiver when the latteris brought back from its inverted to 1ts normal position.

. The proportion of the various parts of the '(Fig. 1). Distance 1;. (Fig. 1) between points D should be equal to or greater than 3 m; 0, the diameter of receptacle 1 should be equal to or greater than the sum of 'n. and 2 m; p, the diameter of receptacle 6 should be equal to or greater than 3 m and equal to or less than n. The opening of funnel 4 and the top of receptacle 6 should lie'in approximately the same plane, for eliminating danger of spilling of the ashes when a large quantity of the latter has been introduced into 'storingreceptacle 1. The height of the various parts of the apparatus may berfixed arbitranly.

In the modification shown in Figs. 5 and 6, a semicylindrical storing receptacle 10 is mounted on trunnions 11. The ash receptacle 12 extends longitudinally inside receptacle '10 and receives the ashes through longitudinal guides 13. Baflles 14 are provided to deflect the ashesfrom 12 into 10 when the device is turnedover and to prevent their herein described devicehas been principally designed as an ash receiver, its use is not necessarily limited as such a receiver. It may be employed as well as a spittoon, as a receiver for refuse or wherever it is desired to periodically remove from view unsightly material to be collected in a receptacle.

It may also be combined with means for periodically turning it over automatically.

What I claim is 1. In a device of the class described, a storing receptacle, a receiving receptacle contained therein, and means for directing the content of the receiving'receptacle' into the storing receptacle when said storing and receiving receptacles are turned over.

2. In a device of the class described, a storing receptacle, a receiving receptacle contained therein, and guiding means for direct.- in material into said receiving receptacle,

said guiding means being formed so as to direct the content of the receiving receptacle into the storing receptacle when said storing and receiving receptacles are turned over;

3. In a device of the class described, a storing receptacle, a receiving receptacle contained therein, and guiding means for directing material to be ,deposited into said receiving receptacle, said guiding means being formed so as to direct'the content of the receiving receptacle into the storing receptacle when 'said storingand receiving receptacles are inverted, said guiding means being further formed so as to prevent reentry of thecontent of the storing receptacle 'the level of the top of sai into the receiving receptacle and the falling out of same content throu h'the aperture 0t the/storing receptacle w en the device is turned from the inverted to the normah -member coacting with said body member,

said cover member being formed so as to provide guiding means for material to be deposited in said receiving receptacle.

7 5. In a device of the class described, a body member formed so asito constitute a storing receptacle, a receiving receptacle coiitained within said body member, and a cover .member coacting with said body member,

said cover member being formed so as '0 provide guiding means for material tr deposited in said receiving receptacle, said guiding means terminatin substantially at 5 receiving receptacle. I

6.'In a device of the class described, a body member formed to constitute a storing receptacle, a pair of trunnicns connected to said body member, a receiving receptacle supported within said body member, and a cover member comprising means for guiding material into said receiving receptacle and means for diverting the,c0ntents of said re ceiving receptacle into said storing receptacle when the device is turned upon its trunnions. a

-In testimony whereof I afiixed my signature.
