CIGARETTE-LIGHTING CASE.
A Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 25, 191%'.
Application led .Tune 7, 1916. Serial No. 103,354.
To all whom t may concern.-
Be it known that I, ALBERT S. DOMENI- First:l to provide an improved cigarette case adapted to light one of the cigarettes therein;
Second: to provide improved means whereby a cigarette may be lighted and taken from the case with the least possible manipulation Third: to provide means arranged to prevent the lighting of more than one cigarette within tbe Case at a time and to slightly project the tip of the lighted cigarette4` from the case.
I accomplish these several objects by means of the device disclosed in the drawings forming a part of the present specication wherein like characters of reference are used to designate similar parts throughout the said speciication and drawings, and in which- Figure 1 is an .elevation of the improved cigarette case as held in the hand for operation.
Fig. 2 is an elevation of the case with the cover opened disclosing the arrangement of the several parts. v
Fig. 3 is a broken transverse sectional view of the device taken on line 3 3 of Fig. 2 of the drawings in the direction indicated by the arrow, the cigarettes being removed to simplify the view, and
Fig. 4: is an enlarged broken view taken on the same line disclosing the manner in which the cigarettes are held away from the end of the case in order to provide a draft channel for the lighting mechanism.
Referring to the drawings, numeral 1 is used to designate a suitable ease having a cover 2 hingedly secured thereto, and having upper and lower apertures 19 and 10 arranged in adjacent corners. A suitable lighting mechanism is arranged in the lower portion of the case and consists of the ywell known volatile container 3 having a tubular extensionvt containing the usual wick 6 for producing a flame F and a filler extension 7 closed by means of a tubular member 8 havlng a steel ratchet 9 projecting through a lower aperture 10 in the case and arranged to engage a small piece of iiint 11 held against said ratchet 9 by means of a suitable spring as disclosed in Fig. 2 of the drawings. The ratchet 9 that extends through the aperture 10 constitutes the operative portion ofthe lighting mechanism.
When the case is grasped by the hand as disclosed in Fig. 1 of the drawings, the` ratchet 9 may be rapidly rotated by a quick stroke of the little finger held thereon which will cause sparks to fly from .the flint 11 and on to the end of the wick 6 and thereby ignite the volatile contained therein.
A short spring 14 is secured above the lighting mechanism or the container 3 and is provided with a recessed end 16 said recess being arranged between the upper and lower apertures 19 andv lO'of the case 1 the purpose of which will hereinafter more fully appear.
A number of cigarettes 17 or the like are contained above the spring 14 and are normally moved to thatside of the case 1 between the apertures 19 and 10 by means of a suitable light fiat spring 18. The tension of the spring 14 slightly compresses the outermost cigarette so that it will be projected slightly endwise until the tip thereof projects slightly beyond and through the aperture 19 with the bottom of the cigarette resting above the recess 16 in the end of the spring 14.
In order to provide a suitable draft for the ame F so that the cigarette may be lighted the adjacent ends 21 of the case 1 and cover 2 thereof are turned to provide the channels 22 which lie between the apertures 19 and 10. Vents 23 are provided in the case 1 vand cover 2 thereof for the admission of suiicient atmosphere to feed the by said lips.
iiint 11 on to the end of the wick 6 and I thereby ignite As the end of the said outermost cigarettev is between the lips of the operator it may be withdrawn from the case, when ignited, As soon as the cigarette has been withdrawn from the case the spring 18 will normally move the remaining cigarettes toward that end or side of the case l.'
I have found from actual experiment that the cigarette above the recess 16 will not become ignited if the flame F is not snuii'ed immediately for the reason that the channels 22 draw the heat and flame away from the end of the cigarette and furthermore the flame F may be immediately smothered by placing the case in the pocket which will at once prevent sufficient air from entering the vents 23 to keep the Haine F burning.
It is obvious from the foregoing that I have provided .an improved cigarette case adapted to light cigarettes and also improved means adapted to prevent the ignition of the remaining cigarettes within the case.
The details of construction are so susceptible to variation that I do not wish to conline myself to the precise construction shown herein, but rather to avail myself of any modification that may fall properly within the scope of my invention.
Having thus described my invention I claim as new and desire to secure by ters Patent is 1. A cigarette lighting case comprising a suitable case having a cover hingedly secured thereto and apertures in two adjacent corners of the case; a spring guardv having a recess in one end thereof arranged oetween the apertures; a lighting mechanism arranged below the guard and having the operative portion thereof extending beyond what Letcured thereto and apertures in two adjacent corners of the case; afspring guard having a recess in one end thereof arranged between the apertures; a lighting mechanism arranged below the guard and having'the op erative portion thereof extending beyond the aperture in the lower corner of the case; means adapted to normally move cigarettes between the apertures in the corners of the case and above the recess in the spring guard; and suitable channels formed in the case between the apertures arranged to provide a suitable draft for the lighting mechanism.
3. A cigarette lighting case comprising a suitable case having a cover hingedly secured thereto and upper and lower apertures in adjacent corners and vents adjacent said lower aperture, the adjacent edges of the cover and case being formed to provide a channel between said apertures; a lighting mechanism arranged in the lower portion of the case and having the operative portion thereof extending through the lower aperture whereby said lighting mechanism may be operated; a suitable spring arranged to retain cigarettes against the channels and between the upper and lower apertures; and a second spring arranged above the lighting mechanism and having a recessed end arranged between the upper and lower apertures whereby a cigarette adjacent the'edge of the case and between the yapertures only may be lighted by the lighting mechanism, said spring being arranged to project a cigarette so arranged slightly beyond and through the upper aperture.
In witness whereof, I hereunto set my signature.
ALBERT s. DoMnNIcoNi.
