Abstract
Abstract The receptacle includes a fixed, stamped sheet metal retaining member of inverted channel section, each of whose depending flanges are slitted and inwardly offset to provide integral backing formations for a rigid nonmetallic frictional guide and skid plate. Each plate is fixedly applied by a screw or the like to the inner surface of a retainer flange, in outward abutment with the latter''s backing formations. The skid plates are preferably of a thermosetting plastic composition, and each carriers a pair of horizontally aligned, integrally formed skid lugs of quasi-circular convex outline. Such lugs mate slidingly in longitudinal guideway grooves in the sides of the receptacles''s ash box.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
200 words
An ash receptacle comprising a fixed mounting member having a pair of vertically disposed flanges at opposite sides thereof, a receptacle member having a pair of vertically disposed sidewalls movable in a longitudinal sliding path on and relative to said mounting member between open and closed positions of said receptacle member, a pair of generally flat and vertically disposed skid plates of a rigid nonmetallic material substantially spaced from said flanges, one skid plate being disposed adjacent to and inside of each of said flanges of said mounting member, each skid plate having at least one integral and flexible skid formation projecting laterally therefrom in said path, each of said flanges of said fixed member having at least one integral and resilient lug formation projecting laterally therefrom towards said receptacle member in backing engagement with the adjacent skid plate, the sidewalls of said receptacle member each having a guide groove therein facing the skid formation on the adjacent skid plate, each guide groove being matingly engaged by the corresponding skid formation to slidingly guide said receptacle member in its longitudinal sliding path, each lug formation resiliently urging the skid formation on the adjacent skid plate into the corresponding guide groove.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
200 words
An ash receptacle comprising a fixed mounting member having a pair of vertically disposed flanges at opposite sides thereof, a receptacle member having a pair of vertically disposed sidewalls movable in a longitudinal sliding path on and relative to said mounting member between open and closed positions of said receptacle member, a pair of generally flat and vertically disposed skid plates of a rigid nonmetallic material substantially spaced from said flanges, one skid plate being disposed adjacent to and inside of each of said flanges of said mounting member, each skid plate having at least one integral and flexible skid formation projecting laterally therefrom in said path, each of said flanges of said fixed member having at least one integral and resilient lug formation projecting laterally therefrom towards said receptacle member in backing engagement with the adjacent skid plate, the sidewalls of said receptacle member each having a guide groove therein facing the skid formation on the adjacent skid plate, each guide groove being matingly engaged by the corresponding skid formation to slidingly guide said receptacle member in its longitudinal sliding path, each lug formation resiliently urging the skid formation on the adjacent skid plate into the corresponding guide groove.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
45 words
The ash receptacle structure of claim 1, in which said skid and lug formations opposite each sidewall of said receptacle member are die-shaped in corresponding convex arcuate outlines from the corresponding skid plate and flange, being in register with one another transversely of said path.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
45 words
The ash receptacle structure of claim 2, in which there are a pair of skid formations on each skid plate and a pair of lug formations on each flange, the lug formations engaging the adjacent skid plate in transverse register with the respective skid formations.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
The ash receptacle structure of claim 3, in which the directions of convexity of the respective skid and lug formations are at 90* to one another.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
The ash receptacle structure of claim 10 in which the directions of convexity of the respective skid and lug formations are at 90* to one another.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
61 words
The ash receptacle structure defined in claim 1 wherein the lower edge of each skid plate is provided with a pair of longitudinally spaced slots, and each of said flanges is provided with a pair of integral longitudinally spaced ears projecting laterally therefrom and extending through the slots in the adjacent skid plate for locating same relative to the adjacent flange.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
29 words
The ash receptacle structure defined in claim 6 wherein a fastening element exTends through each skid plate and flange to supplement the locating action of said ears and slots.
