COMBINATION clean, CIGARETTE, AND MATCH CASE.
To all whom it, may concern:
Be it known that I, ALFRED G. Womasea, a citizen of the United States, residing at of Dauphin and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Combination Cigar, Cigarette, and Match'Case, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relates to a combination cigar, cigarette and match case designed for pocket use and capable of convenient-ly holding cigars, cigarettes and matches at the same time, so that each is readily and conveniently accessible.
This invention contemplates the colnbina tion of, a cigar, cigarette and match holder in a compact manner, the holders bein adapted to, fold together so that all of the holders are closed and being capable of being, opened so that the contents are accessible in a' convenient and ready manner.
To the foregoing and other ends, the presconstructlon, arrangement, and combination of parts hereinafter set forth and claimed; reference being had tow the accompanying drawing, wherein -the invention is illustrated in its preferred embodiment, and wherein Figure 1 is an elevation of the case when open. Fig. 2 is an: elevation thereof when closed, looking toward one edge. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the caser'when closed.
Referring specifically to the drawing, the case embodies a thin flat rectangular cigar holder frame 4, and a thin flat rectangular cigarette holder frame 5, the latter being slightly shorter than the former, inasmuch as the cigarette holder may be shorter than the cigar holder in order to accommodate the usual length ofcigarettes. A thin flat rectangular match holder frame 6 is also provided, which is of a Width equal to the di erence in length between the cigar and cigarette holder frames. arette holder frames 'are hinged together attheir adjoining outer edges with their upper ends even, and the match holder frame 6 is hinged at of the cigar holder frame to fill in "the space between the ends of two frames. The cigar holder frame is therefore disposed at one side, while the cigarette and match holder frames are disposed at the other side and are of a combined length equal to the length Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed October 17, 1912. Serial No. 726,339.
The cigar and Gig one end to the corresponding edge" Patented Jan. 27, 1914.
of the cigar holder frame, the cigarette holder frame and match holder frame being independent of each other. The hinged con nection between the cigar holder frame and the cigarette and match holder frames has been designated by the numeral 7, the same being of the usual construction and permitting the respective frames to swing flatly together.
To the frames 4, 5 and 6 are secured the folding backs 8, 9 and 10, respectively, and the partitions ll, 12 and 13, respectively. It is evident, of course, that the frames are metallic, and that the respective partitions and backs are flexible, they being constructed of leather or equivalent material. It is to be observed also; that both edges and ends of each back are formed into plaits attached to the edges and ends of the respective frame. The partitions 11 and 12 which are attached to the cigar and cigarette holder frames, respectively, extend from the lower ends of the said frames to a point below the upper ends of the said frames to provide pockets opening inward at the upper ends of the said frames. The partition 13 attached to the match holder frame extends from the inner end of the said frame to a point short of the free or outer end, provides a pocket opening inwardly at the free end of the match holder frame. Each partition is secured to the inner edges of the sides and one end of the respective frame, in order that the partitions 11 and 12-13 may swing flatly or snugly together when the case is closed. The partition 13 has a strip of abrasive material 14 at its inner end, such as emery, sandpaper, or the like for the purpose of striking matches thereon. The corners of each partition are cut away at the free end of the partition, as seen in Fig. 1, to provide a single flexible flap which facilitates the insertion and withdrawal of the articles, the said flexible flap also yieldingly holding the articles, especially the outer ends thereof, in position.
quantity of matches M placed in the match holder, when the holders have been opened. When the holders are closed or folded together, all of the holders. will be closed, as will be apparent, and it will be apparent that the case may be readily carried about in the pocket. It will also be noted that the cigar and cigarette holders may be opened independent of the match holder, and after being closed, the match holder may be opened independently.
Particular attention is directed to the fact that the partitions are secured in the frames in such a manner that the frames may swing and that the respective backs are adapted to fold and unfold in parallelism toward and away from the respective partitions. Thus, when one of the holders is empty the corresponding back will fold snugly against the respective frame and partition, it being noted that the backs are adapted to yield throughout when the articles are inserted in the respective holders. As a result, the articles will not be mashed or injured, but will be lightly held between the backs and partitions and with equal pressure throughout.
This combination case is of advantage for the reason that a quantity of cigars, cigarettes, and matches may be carried together in a compact relation, the same being readconsumption.
,Varlous materials may be employed in the construction of the case, such as leather, aluminum, gunmetal, gold, silver and the like, and if desired, the'match holder and cigarette holder may be constructed so as to swing together, or may be constructed in one frame. It is also evident that other minor changesin details may be resorted to within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Having thus described the invention what is claimed as new is A combination case embodying an upright thin flat rectangular metallic cigar holder frame, an upright thin flat rectangular metallic cigarette holder frame, shorter than the aforesaid frame, the adjoining outer edges of the said frame being hinged together, a thin fiat rectangular metallic match holder frame .of a width equal to the diflerence in the lengths of the aforesaid frames, one end of the match holder frame being hinged to the respective edge of the cigar holder frame below the cigarette holder frame, a flexible partition secured to the inner edges of the sides and lower end of each of the cigar and cigarette holder frames and extending from the said end to a point short of the upper end, a flexible partition secured to the inner edges of the sides and inner end of the match holder frame and extending from the said end to a point short of the outer end, the corners of each partition being cut away at the free end of the partition to provide a single flexible flap, the respective partitions being adapted to swing flatly together, and a flexible back for each frame, the back having both ends and edges formed into plaits attached to the sides and ends of the respective frame.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aifixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
