.iwith each other and obliquely with respect to the medial line between the holder inembers, whereby instead ot 4setting edge to edge the body portions ot the cigarettesare caused to over-lap each other for the purpose of reducing the length ot a holder designed to receive a given number.
A further object of this invention is to hinge the holder men" rs together and cause them to grip and support theirI contents by spring pressure.
lilith these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, as will be more tally described, and particularly pointed ont in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawings: Figure lis a perspective view of a cigarette casing in open position in which is mounted a holder of my improved t'vpe for supporting the-cigarettes in an over-lapping position. Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing one ot' a pair of holder members as being tinted. Fig. i3- shows a, pair of holder members as hinged together and acted upon by springs to hold them normally in closed position to lightly bind the cigarettes when positioned therein. llig. is an edge view of the holder showing the staggered relation of the opposite ribs and grooves for causing the body portion ot the cigarettes to overlap each other. Fig. 5- is a section on line 5-5 ot' Fig. 3 showing a-portion ot a pair i ot ilnted holders.
ln order that my present invention may he more clearly understood, it should be explained that the natural form ot' a cigarette, when finished, is oblong or oval in cross section so that each cigarette has bot-h a major and a minor transverse axis and when the cigarettes are placed in a casing edge to edge or with their major axes iu line, the holder will be necessarily longer than when the cigarettes are placed sideby side-vin" with their minor axes in line, and when located in the latter positionv a. casing or holder for the cigarettes is necessarily thicker than is desirable. Therefore, in' order to reduce the thickness of the casing or holder and also reduce its length to the minimum for receiving a. given number of cigarettes, it is found very desirable to so place the cigarettes in the holder that their major transverse axes will lie obliquely to the medial line through the holding niembers in which position the bodies of the'cigarettes lit` against and over-lap each other, whereby the greatest number may be placed in the ,smallest possible space.
n One forni of holder for obtaining the de sired result above described is illustrated in Y the accompanying drawings, in which- 11 and 12 designate the two holder members which are preferablvT hinged together as at 13, each member having its side wall H stamped or pressed or otherwise formed into a` series of flutes or corrugations 15 for the reception of the cigarettes a. ln order to obtain the staggering effect of the grooves in the opposite members, in a simple and practical way, l have turned outwardly or opened the end wall 1G ot one of the end tintes ot' each member so as to spread this groove wider than the others, whereby thc two opposite members may be formed by the same die and when reversed end for end upon each other the flutes will not register but will be ont of transverse alinement with each other, giving to them a staggering efeach member is turned outward slight-hy to" provide a suitable finish for the same. in
'practice it is found desirable to hinge th se members together so that they may be opened somewhat to receive the cigarettes moreareadil v I and it is also Jfound advisable to provide a slight spring or tension on ,these hinge members so as to press them iiwtfl against each other and canse nimm m ilfllly bind and hold the. cigirrettes between them and .so prevent them trNelll-m? Oui? ft/T n@ i rality having been placed therein. This tension'is showny in 'thedrawingas being fprovlded by` means vof the bow-springs" 19 and 20 which are herein shown as engaging the lids lO of the casing and also the outer edges of these holder members to act upon and keep them.

. I have shown and described a pair :of
fluted hinged holder members, but any form vof holder vcapable of positioning the cigahaving@ series of pockets oblong im ,crosssection forreeeiving and positioning a ypluparallel with respect kto the axes of these pockets being each other and oblique 'with longitudinal medial line'through the holder whereby )the bodies of the cigarettes are caused to overlap each other.
