UNITED sTATEs PATENT OFFICE.
' LAWRENCE GRIFFITH, or YoNxERs, NEW YORK.
TOBACCO-BOX.-
To all lwhom it may concern: y
yBe it known that I, LAWRENCE GRIFFITH, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Yonkers, in the'county of Westchester and State-of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tobacco-Boxes, of which the following is a specification. l l
vFor the accommodation of pipe smokers, tobacco is put up in the form of cartridges, each cartridge forming a charge for a pipe bowl. These charges are usually arranged in thef form of a ycylinder or roll, each roll containing a number of cartridges. These rolls are ordinarily placed in a flat boX, and after several of them havebeen removed the remaining charges and rolls are more or less *loose in the box and4 are liable to be knocked about in the box and broken or otherwise damaged.
One of the main objects of this invention is to provide a box specially adapted for containing these pipe cartridges or charges, means being provided to hold each individual roll or cylinder of chargesl independently, whereby upon the removal of a portion of the charges the remainder will be held in position and prevented from being knocked about in the box. Ordinarily these boxes of charges yare carried in the pocket, and if the charges are loose therein they soon become loosened or broken and are not in good condition for use.
Another object of the invention is to provide means whereby the individual rolls or charges maybe readily removed from the box. When these boxes arepacked, the rolls or" charges are forced therein with considerable pressure inorder to keep the tobacco in prime condition for as long a period as possible. For this reason it is desirable to provide some means for ready removal of the charges without injury to any one of the cartridges.l
There are other objects and advantages of the invention which will appear hereinafter.
In the drawing Figure 1 is a side elevation of a tobacco box constructed in accordance with the invention; Fig. 2 a vertical `sectional view thereof showing the charges in position therein; Fig. 3 a bottom plan of the box; Fig. 4 a transverse sectional view thereof; and Fig. 5 a view similar to Fig. 4, showing a slightly modied construction.
Referring to the various parts by numerals, 1 designates the box body, 2 the speciation of Letters Patent.l j Patented Apl, 1916,

bottom `.thereof an'd- 3 the usual yhingedy cover. The body ofthe box is preferably formed With the round end portions 4 and the parallel sides 5."V The box is preferably of a thickness equal to the diameter rof one of the the drawingA the boxlis adapted to` contain four rolls of charges, the ridges' projecting inwardly from each side fof -thebox vand lying between, the rolls of charges on both sides of the box. 4 These ridges and the end portions of the box form compartments, eachy adapted to receive and independently hold a roll of-pipe cartridges.
In'the bottom of the box is 'formed a series ofcomparatively small apertures 7 directly beneath each roll of cartridges as indicated clearlyl in Fig. 2. When it is desired to remove a cartridgefrom the box a linger may be inserted in any one of said apertures and the roll of cartridges directly thereover will `be forced out of the top of the box sufficiently to permit its upper end to be firmly grasped. This makes a very convenient `method of withdrawing the rolls of cartridges even though they may be packed in the box under considerable pressure.
Vhat l claim is:
l. A tobacco box adapted to containpipe charges in the form of cartridges, formed of a body part having straight parallel sides at its bottom and top and having rounded ends, a bottom rigidly secured to said body part, a. cover hinged to the top of the body part, inwardly projecting parallel ridges formed in the sides and extending from a point near the bottom of the box to a point near the top thereof, the inner surfaces of saidridges being concave and forming parts of the walls of cylindrical compartments within the box, the rounded ends of the box forming parts of the walls of the end compartments, each compartment being adapted to receive pipe charges, thebottom of the box being formed withapertures registering with the lower ends of the compartments, said apertures being smaller in diameter than the diameter ofthe compartments;
2. A tobacco box adapted to contain pipe Copies of thispatent may be obtained for charges in the form of cartridges, formed of a body part having straight parallel sides at its bottomand top and having rounded ends,-
a bottom rigidly secured to said body part, a cover hinged to the top of the body part, inwardly projecting parallel ridges formed on the inner surfaces of the sides and extending substantially from the bottom to the top of the box, the innerl surfaces of said ridges being concave and formingv parts of the walls of substantially cylindrical individual compartments within the box, each compartment being. adapted to receive a roll of cartridges or pipe charges, the'rounded -ends of the box forming` parts of the walls of the end compartments, the bottom of the box being formed with apertures which register with'the lower ends of the compartments, said apertures being smaller in diameter than the diameter of the compartments.
In testimony whereof I hereto aflix my signature m the presence of two witnesses.
