HECTOR E. BRUNELLE, 01E CHEST, NEW HAMPSHIRE.
TOBACCO-30X.
Specification of Letters Patent. Pateimtqgdl iily 119, 19211.,
Application filed December 2, 1919. Serial No. 341,873.
T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Hnoron E. BRUNELLE, a citizen of the United States residing at Manchester, in the county of flillsborough and State of New Hampshire, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tobacco-Boxes; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to tobacco boxes and more particularly to pocket tobacco boxes, and the primary object ofthe invention is to provide an improved means for facilitating the removal of the tobacco from the box.
Another object of the invention is to provide attachments for tobacco boxes, for moving the envelop containing the tobacco upward, as the tobacco is used therefrom.
Another object of the invention is to provide a follower arranged in the bottom of a tobacco can below the envelop carrying the tobacco and havin the follower when desired, so as to force the envelop upward and outwardly :when desired.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved means for holding the follower in any adjusted position so as to hold the envelop. at the desired height.
A stillfurther object of the invention is to provide an improved device of the above character, which is durable and efficient in in similar referende characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, the numeral 1 indicates a pocket tobacco can of the ordinary or'any preferred form and includes a body 2 having the lower wall 3 and a cover 4 hingedly connected to the upper edge thereof.
The can 1 has mountedtherein the usual tobacco carrying envelop 5.
The attachment 6 for i'aisingthe envelop outward of the can includes a follower or false bottom 7 which is slidably mounted in the can below the tobacco carrying en velop. The false bottom is shaped to conform to the configuration of the body and is provided with a central longitudinally extending groove or guideway 8 in its lower surface for the reception of the pulling cord 9 which will be hereinafter more fully described. The follower or false bottom 7 as tin, heavy card-board or the like, and has formed therein adjacent each end thereof,
means for raising use, one that is simple, and easy to -manufacture, and one that can be placed upon the market at-a reasonable cost.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement and formation of parts,as will be hereinafter more specifically described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, forming a part thereof, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of a tobacco can showing the attachment applied thereto,
Fig. 2 is a vertical section showing the envelop in a partly raised position,
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary end elevation illustrating a catch for securing the free ends of the cord,
- Fig. 5 is a detail sectionshowing a modified form of the device.
Referring to the drawing in detail, where,
openings 10 through which the terminals ,of the pulling cord 9 extend. The side walls of the can 1 adjacent the upper edge thereof are provided with openings 11 through which the cord is threaded and one terminal of the cord is knotted as at 12 to prevent the same from being pulled through the opening. The opposite wall in the can 1, directly below the opening 11 is provided with a struck out tongue 13, which is bent back upon the can so as to form a spring clip, and the free terminal of the pulling cord is adapted to be positioned under the clip so as to hold the cord in any position and the tobacco envelop in its raised adjusted position.
It will be seen that'thecord 9 is threaded through the openings 10 in the follower 7 and positioned in the guide groove and extended upwardly between theside Walls of then positioned under the clip 13 which will hold the follower in raised position and tlfe tobacco carrying envelop in its adjusted position.
In Fig. 5 is illustrated a modified form of,
the device in which the bottom wall of the can is dispensed with and the same is provided with merely an inwardly extending flange 15 which serves to limit the downward movement of the follower. In other respects the can attachment is identical with the construction disclosed in Figs. 1 to 4.
In this form of can it is impossible to refill the can with loose tobacco as it will be seen that the tobacco will fall between the false bottom or follower and flange 15, and thus the can is in the nature of a non-refillable device.
In practice, I have found that the form of my invention, illustrated .in the accompanying drawing and referred to in the above description, as the preferred embodiment, is the most eflicient and practical; yet realizing the conditionsconcurrent with the adoption of my device will necessarily vary, I desire to emphasize the fact that various minor changes in details of construction, proportion and arrangement of parts may be resorted to, when required without sacrificing any of the advantages of my invention as set forth.
What I claim as new is A tobacco box including a receptacle having an opening in opposite walls adjacent their upper ends, a follower slidably mounted in the receptacle and having openings adjacent its end and a groove inits under face connecting said last named opening, a cord extending through one of the first named openings and having one end tied in a knot to prevent said cord from being pulled through said first opening, said cord passing through said second named openings and resting in the groove and passed through one of the first named openings, and a catch carried by the receptacle to en gage the free end of the cord.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
