Description

MAURICE 'VAN VLET, OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFRNIA.
TOBACCO-RECEPTACLE.
Specifieation of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 18, 1917.
Application filed .Tune 12, 1917. Serial No. 174,202.
To all whom it may conccm:
Be it known that I, MAURICE VAN VLIET, citizen of the United States, residing at San Francisco, in the county of San Francisco, State of California, have invented a new and useful Tobacco-Receptacle, of which the following is a specification in such full and clear terms as will enable those skilled in the art to construct and use the same.
This invention relates to a tobacco receptacle for the preservation of cigars and tobacco with the proper retention of moisture therein.
Another object of the invention is to produce a tobacco receptacle which will be clean and sanitary, and which will have a compartment for containing the moisture around the upper edge of the receptacle.
Another object of the invention is to produce a moisture retainer which will be inconspicuous and capable of also acting as a dust excluding flange around the upper edge of the receptacle.
Another object of the invention is to produce a cover for the moisture retainer which will also partly conceal it as well as prevent dust and dirt from accumulating therein.
An embodiment of the invention is seen in the drawngs in which the same reference numeral is applied to the same portion throughout, but I am aware that there may be modifications thereof.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the receptacle Fig. 2 is a vertical cross section, and
Fig. 3 is a cross section of a portion of one side and a portion of the top on a slightly larger scale than Fig. 2.
The numeral 1 represents a box which may be of any suitable size, having a cover 2 Secured thereto by means of hinges 3 along the back edge. A lock 4 may be used to secure the cover closed, and in order to maintain the inside of th e container substantially air tight, as well as to render it sanitary. A glass, porcelain or other waterproof lining 5 is used for the sides, 6 the bottom and 7 the top.
In order to maintain a supply of moisture, as well as to hold the lining in place, a grooved metallic molding 8 surrounds the upper edge of the box, and it has an inverted V-shaped hood or cover 9 for the purpose of allowing the receptacle lid to fit down tightly as well as to keep the absorbent substance 10 in said molding, which is to retain the moisture, clean and sanitary. A number of screws 11 are used to secure the molding in place, and one edge of the molding, as illustrated at 12, hangs down over the upper edge of the lining 5 thereby holding it firmly in place, while at the same time being so positioned as not to be in the way.
In operation a small medicine dropper may be used to place a few drops of water in the absorbent material 10.
Since the box lid fits down snugly, the
cigars or tobacco abstract the necessary moisture to maintain them in proper condition from the material which is placed within the molding or trough 8.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is as follows, express reservation being made of permissible modifications.
l. A tobacco container comprising a receptacle having a moisture proof lining, a trough having an A-shaped cover thereover around the upper edge of the receptacle the cover leaving an opening between its inner lower edge and the inner edge of the trough, an absorbent material in the trough and a cover for the receptacle.
2. A tobacco container comprising a receptacle having a moisture proof lining, a trough having an A-shaped cover there over around the upper edge of the receptacle having means to hold the lining in place, the cover leaving an opening between its inner lower edge and the inner edge of the trough, an absorbent material in the trough, and a cover for the receptacle.
In testimony wliereot I have hereunto set my hand this lst day of June A. D. 1917.
MAURICE VAN VLIET.
