TOBACCO-BOX ATTACHMENT.
To all wkomz't may concern. 1 1
Be itlmown that I, CLYDE'S. ToMrKINs, acitizen of: the United States, residing at Rosedale, in. the county of Wyandotte .and
useful Tobacco-Box Attachment,of which the following is a specification. l 1 N This invention relates to.tobacco box at- The object is to provide an attachmentfor the lids of ordinarytobacco boxes, such as are in common use, whereby a plurality of cigarette papers, peculiarly folded, areheld within the said easily extracted therefrom, one at a time, as desired, for use; in making cigarettes.
A further object is to-provide such-anattachment, constructed in, a simplemanner and permanently securedto the under side of a tobacco box lid and-capable of holding a suificient number. of superimposed folded papers. to consume the entire boxfull of tobacco in making cigarettes, the said papers being so folded and held within the lid as to permit of the top one being readily extracted, and by such operation, causing the edge of the next paperto be presented outside of the holding. means for extraction, in turn.
A fulland complete understanding ofithe;
invention may be obtained from thGfOllOWe ing detailed description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing formin a part of this specification; it being un erstood that whilethe drawing shows a practical form of the invention, the latter is not confined to strict conformity therewith, but may be changed or modified, so long as such changes or modifications mark no material departure from the salient features of the invention, as specifically pointed out in the appended claim.
In the drawing, in which like reference characters designate similar parts throughout the several figures a Figure 1 is a perspective view of an ordinary tobacco box, the lid being shown the improved paper opened and having holder attached thereto. 7 i
Fig. 2is an enlargedvertical, longitudinal sectional view of theupper portion of the same, the lid being shown closed.
Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view on a greatly enlarged scale of the lid in open position, the upper portion of the box being shown in elevation, the cigarette papers be- Specification of Letters Patent.
Application fi1edApri127, 1918. Serial No. 231,187. r r r have, invented a new and lid in such manner as to be s of room is; to be found that the same may .clip 1s secured longitudinally .the lid 2 to form arms Patented Sept. 24., 191
ing reduced in number and greatly exaggerated in thickness and spacing, in order to render the illustration thereof more easily understood.
Since the.exact structure of the tobacco box proper forms no plication, an ordinary box-1, of a well-known type, has been illustrated, said-box having the usual hinged lid 2, secured atits open end and provided with the customary downwardly extending marginal edges and adapted to embrace the upper end of the.box,when closed. 1 g
The flange 3, on the ordinary tobacco. box, considerable depth, in orderto more part of the presenta'p.-
flange 3 provided on its efiectually exclude air and thus maintaintha tobacco within the box, in the desiredcondi1 tion, and; also, by reason of its frictional engagement with. the box, to prevent the accidental opening of the lid. Thus ample average tobacco box, as found on themarket at, the present time, for. the application" of the attachment 'aboutto be described, so perform its function,
Within the lid of'the without interfering. with thecontentsof'the box, even when the latter is properly'packed to. lts full; capacity,
as it comes from the factory.
-For the. purposeof supporting thehciga- V, .rettepapers, as hereinbefore specified, within the lid 2 of the box 1, a metallic spring of the lid, upon the under side thereof. The clip is formed of a strip of spring metal of st cient strength to exert a clamping action upon the pack of folded papers and to continue such pressure until the last of the pack of papers has been removed.
he said metallic strip is considerably less in width than the width of the box lid 2 and, when bent into shape, is of a length to easily fit between'the ends of the lid and to be secured thereto in a manner to be described. The strip is bent to form terminal footportions 4:, which are appropriately perforated for the reception of suitable rivets 5 which also traverse proper perforations formed in the lid, adjacent to its ends, and are upset in the ordinary manner to rigidly secure the attachment in place. Ad acent to the rivets 5, the metallic strip is bent outwardly, or oifset away from as indicated at 6 in intermediate portion 7 between the outwardly the drawing, and the of the said strip,
lengths thereof,
bent arms, is depressed or bent toward the said lid, thus providing bowed spring portions 8, the tendency of which is to exert a constant pressure upon the intermediate portion of the strip toward the lid 2.
The ordinary cigarette paper is substantially twice as long is it is wide, and in the present instance, they are adapted to be folded transversely, in a certain manner, having interlocking parts, and placed between the intermediate portion 7 of the spring clip and the underside of the lid 2, the distance between the outstanding arms 6 being somewhat greater than the width of the cigarette papers.
' As illustrated in Fig. 3 of the drawing, on an exaggerated scale, each paper 9 is transversely folded, at a, b and 0, respectively. The fold a is located adjacent to the upper or outer end of the paper, when the box lid is in open position, thus providing a ortion d which lies outside of the spring clip and consequently exposed and in a position to be readily taken hold of for removal. The folds b and c are so 1ocat'ed, with respect to the length of the paper, as to provide three even plies or p e, f and g, which when folded are slightly less in length than the width of the box lid, as shown in Fig. 3 of the drawing. a
The inneror bottom portion 9 of each strip of paper is adapted to underlie the upper or outerportion e of the next or following strip, so tiat, when the outermost strip is pulled by the user, the fold 0-, thereof, will tend to bind on the fold a of the Gopica'oi! this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the following strip and, rolling the same upon itself, will extract it and cause it to assume the position of the uppermost strip, as shown in Fi 3, after the preceding strip is freed there rom.
From the foreging it will be seen that a simple device has been provided for holdin' cigarette papers within the lid of a to acco box, and that the same may be so cheaply constructed and secured in position upon the box, as to add no material cost to the manufacture thereof, and that the same may be made to hold a sufiicient number of papers in easy reach of the user,
to use up the contents of the box.
What is claimed is In combination with the flanged lid of a tobacco box, a cigarette paper holder C0111- prisinga metallic spring clip formed of a strip of metal narrower than the lid, but nearly of the same length, said strip being riveted at each terminal tothe inner side of the lid and adjacent to the ends thereof, and having outwardly bowed or offset spring portions near the rivets, the remaining portion of the strip between the said bowed portions being depressed toward the lid for clamping and holding a pack of folded cigarette papers. y
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto afiixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
