CIGARETTE-BOX.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Fatented Mar. $19116.
Application filed November 18, 1914. Serial No. 872,827.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MICHEL JoLAcK, a
citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings, State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cigarette-Boxes; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to improvements in cigarette boxes, and more particularly tothe class of cigarette boxes where the cover is hinged to the container.
An object of the invention is to provide a box of this character having trays therein for supporting the'upper and lower tiers of cigarettes and maintain the same in predetermined spaced relation.
A further object'of the invention is to removably mount the said trays within the container so that when the uppertray becomes empty the same may be removed, the lower tray then removed, the upper tray reversed and placed in the container and the lower tray replaced in such position as to be supported by the upper tray.
A further object of the invention is to so construct the container that one end thereof may be swung about a hinge to expose .the ends of the cigarettes in order that their removal may be facilitated.
With these and other objects in view, such as will appear as the description progresses, my invention comprises the combinatlon and arrangement of parts as herein set forth and subsequently claimed 2- Referring to the drawing :-Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device with the cover and the hinged side in their open positions. Fig. 2 is a transverse section through the device with a number of cigarettes removedfrom the toptray. Fig. 3 is a similar view with the trays in their reversed positions. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the lowermost tray.
Referring to the drawm wherein like parts are indicated by he characters throughout the several views :The device comprises a rectangular container 1 which has an upwardly extending flange 2..
Hinged to the rear wall of this container is a rectangular *cover 3, which when the box is closed lies over and in contact with the said flange. One end of the container is hingedly connected tothe bottom of' the container, as at 4, by the strip of paper with which the container is covered, or in any othersuitable manner. When the cover 3 engages. the portion of the flange .2 which is von the hinged end, the said. end is retained in itsv closed position and bears against the ends of the cigarettes in the container. A tray 5 isremovably mounted in the container and rests on the bottom thereof. This tray has an upwardlyextending flange 6 onthree sides thereof, but is open on the side adj acentthe hinged end of the container.
Formed on the bottom 7 of the tray 5 is a series of upwardly extending dividing walls 8 which are constructed of flexible material. lhese walls divide the tray into a plurality of compartments 9 equal to'the number of cigarettes to be placed in the said tray. A second tray is removab'ly mounted in the container, and rests upon the top of the cigarettes which are held in the compartments 9 of the tray 5. This tray is ofa construction similar to the construction of the tray 5 with the exception that it is of approximately two-thirds of the length of the said tray 5 and has secured to the end remote from that end which contacts with the hinged end of the container an out warclly projecting spacing arm 10- which maintains the said tray in spaced relation to the end of the container. When the ciga-,
rettes have been used from the uppermost? tray the said tray is then removed fromithe container and likewise is the lowermost tray 5. The upper tray is then turned upside down and replaced in the, container so that the dividing walls of the said tray will rest upon the bottom of the container. The lowermost tray 5 is then replaced and rests upon the empty tray which has been previously placed in the container. It is to be understood that the cigarettes have not been previously used from the said tray 5. Thus the empty tray is placed in the bottom of the container and the tray'5 which is filled with cigarettes rests thereon and presents the cigarettes as if the boxwere filled. During thefremoval of the trays from the container thgil hinged ends of the said container are swung downwardly and thus ac-- cess to the trays maybe readily had so that they may be removed or replaced.
From the foregoing description it may be seen that I have provided a cigarette box Edd in which the cigarettes are supportedpn trays, which trays are interchangeable in positions so that when the uppermost tray has been emptied it'may be shiftedto replace the lowermost tray and the 'said'lowermost tray may be again placed in the con tainer in su'ch position as to' replace the uppermost tray.
While 'I have described a particular embodiment of my invention it has merely been for the sake of illustration and I do not wish to be limited to that particlflar em-' bodiment as it is obvious that numerous changes may be made in the structure of the device within the scope of the invention.
What is claimed is In a cigarette box, the combination with rangers a'container, of a tray removably mounted therein, the said tray including a plurality of compartments open at the top and at one end, a second tray removably mounted on the. first mentionedtray, the said second arm.
