JAMES L. EAMES, JR., OF MILLVILLE, NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNOB OF ONE-HALF TO THOMAS EAMES, OF MILLVILLE, NEW JERSEY.

ASHTRECEPTACLE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES L. EAMES, J r., a citizen of the United States, residing at Millville, in the county of Cumberland and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ash-Receptacles, of which the following is a specificatlon.

My invention relates to improvements in ash receptacles, and more particularly to an attachment for chair arms and the like which is normally out of the way under the arm of the chair, but which may be readily swung to its outward position in convenient reach.

While I refer to my improvements as an ash receptacle, it is to be understood, of course, that the receptacle may be put to various other uses, and hence it is the object of my invention to so construct and arrange the several parts that they can be readily removed and washed, or otherwise sterilized to keep them in a sanitary condition.

With these and other objects in View, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations and ar- In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is. a view in side elevation illustrating my improvements in connection with a chair arm. Fig.2 is a top plan view showing the receptacle in its outward position, and Fig. 3 is an inverted plan view.

1 represents a support which I will refer to as admin arm. I 2.is the supporting plate of my improved attachment, which is removably connected to the under face of the arm 1 by metal guides-3; These-guides are secured by screws 4.- or otherwise to the bottom'of the chair arm, and the ends of plate2 are slid into the guides and can be easily removed whenever I desired.)

. A frame '5 is pivotally connected by a' stud "6 .to the bottom of plate 2, and this frame 5- comprises a bar of metal which is bent into general oblong shape at one end as shown at 7 to support a receptacle 8. The other end of the frame is relatively narrow as shown'at 9, and the two sections of the bar at this narrow portion 9 are secured to opposite sides of a block 10, the latter mounted to turn on the'stud 6 above referred to Specification of Letters IPatent.

Application filed November 8, 1915. Serial No. 60,371.

' and held thereon by the enlarged head 16 of the stud. It will be noted that the block 10 is'located between the ends of the frame,

, so that a push on the narrow end of the frame at one side of the block 10 will cause the larger end of the frame to swing outwardly and move the receptacle 8 to the position shown in Fig. 2.

I preferably oif-set a portion of the frame as shown at 11, so that this portion extends slightly beyond the edge of the chair arm, and place on this portion the word Push. This is readily seen, and the occupant of the chair following sueh instructions will force the receptacle to its outward position.

The movement of the frame 5 in both directions is limited by a single pin 12. This pin engages one end of the receptacle holding portion 7 of the frame when the frame is in its inward position as shown in Fig. 3, and is engaged by the narrower'end of the frame when the receptacle is projected in its outward position as shown in Fig. 2.

The receptacle 8 indicated on the drawings, is made with a flange 17 at its upper edge, resting upon the frame 5, and is provided with a partition 13 dividing the same into a relatively large compartment 14 and a relatively small compartment 15 which ma contain various articles, and while. I pre erably construct the receptacle 8 of glass, I do not limit myself to the material employed nor do I limit myself to the particular use to which the receptacle is put, but its principal purpose is that of an ash receiver.

Various slight changes might be made in the general form and arrangement of parts described without departing from my invention, and hence I do not limit myself to the precise details set forth, but consider myself at liberty. tomake'such changes and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: l

1. An attachment of the character described, comprising a frame providing an opening and including an offset extension, a member having a depending pivot pin, means included in said offset extension having ahole through which the pivot pin extends, .a receptacle: fitting said opening, said ofi'set extension having a portion designed to be manually pressed to facilitate the movement of said frame on its pivot, substantially as described.

2. An attachment of the character described, comprising a plate, means for detachably connecting the plate to a support, a pivot pin depending from said plate, a

frame having an opening and an offset ex-- and positioned under the support, a stud depending. from the plate, a frame relatively large at one end forming a receptacle support and relatively narrow at its other end constituting a push member, a block secured to the frame at a point removed from its narrower end and having an'opening therein receiving the stud, said stud having a head on its lower end, and a pin projecting downwardly from the plate and limiting the pivotal movement of the frame in both directions, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the two subscriblng witnesses.
