zaoxaen-ornnme MEANS. '2
Application filed May 22,
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Ronnn'r T. FROST, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of St. Paul, Ramsey county, Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Package-Opening Means, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in package opening means, and the object of in improvement is to supply a device ad apted for insertion in a package, associated with certain of the contents thereof, and fastened to lacerable parts of the container, to permit, first, a ready means for opening the package, and second, for withdrawing that part of the contents which is associated therewith, without injury to said contents.
This object I have accomplished b the means which is hereinafter describe claimed, and which is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figures 1, 2 and 3 are like isometric perspective views of a lacerable package, showing in Fig. 1 the filled closed and sealed package supplied with my improved opening means; Fig. 2 showing the package partiall opened by said means, and Fig. 3, part 0 the contents partially withdrawn therefrom by the use of said means. Fig. 4 is an isometric view of a package with a portion of the container removed, to disclose the relative osit ions therein of the opening means, an Fig. 5 is a perspective detail view of saidopening means as separated from the package.
In said drawings, similar numerals of reference denote similar parts throughout the several views.
I have exemplified my invention in practice as applied to the lacerable container .or wrapper 3 of a quantity of cigarettes 5, but it is obvious that my improved opening device may be successfully applied to other descriptions of containers having other or various contents. 1
The wrapper or container 3 is usually made of thin lacerable paper, its end portions, after the filling is effected, being folded into overlapping flaps 4, which are specification of Letters Patent.

cigarettes 5 is manually attempted, the
fragile covering of the cigarette is often and nearly unavoidably broken. My removing device obviates this. i
My said device comprises a small body or plaque 1, which may be of any size or shape desired, or made of any suitable material, but in practice will be formed of cardboard of sufficient rigidit and having a central orifice through which is passed an end of a flexible device, cord or thread 2, the end part of the latter being then pasted down or secured to the plaque in any desired manner, asby knotting.
The plaque is placed in one end of the bottom of the container 3, and a portion of the contents placed superposed upon it, in this instance, two or more of the cigarettes 5 are placed upon it, and the cord 2 is then extended upwardly between these and the other cigarettes of the package.
The cord 2 is then shapedin a somewhat looped form to .follow the angular contour of the end of the container to rest within the inner crease thereof, and its end part is pasted or glued to the inner face of a flap 4,- with its extremity only exposed after pasting down of the flap, as shown in said Fig 1.
he package "is opened by grasping the exposed extremity of the cord 2 and placing it undersufiicient longitudinal tension to tear the lacerable flap 4 and the wrapper 3 across and aroundthe angle of thelatter, thus removing a piece of said flap and wrapper as shown in said Fig. 2.
Continued pulling on the cord 2 then lifts the plaque .1 together with the superincumbent contents of the wrapper, in this case, two or more of the cigarettes 5, as they may have been difi'erently placed thereon, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, whereby one or more of the cigarettes may be. withdrawn without injury. The remainder of the contents of the package may then be removed,
after, complete withdrawal of the opening rettes only, and a string connection between 10 devi 'e. the plaque and the foldable art of the con- I-I ving described my invention, what.
