* UNITED STATES SYDNEY BURT GARDNER, 0F BENSON, MINNESOTA.
v.PIPE-SMOKERS KIT.
Application filed March 2, 1921. Serial No. 448,964.
To all whom it may concermv I Be it known that I, SYDNEY BURT GARD- NER, a citizen'of the United States, residing at Benson, in the county of Swift and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pipe-Smokers Kits; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
The present invention relates to improvements in smokers kits, and has for an object to provide a compact case adapted to hold a pipe, tobacco, and matches so that these various articles may be carried about on the person of the smoker and be at all times on hand when their use is required. Another object of the invention is to provide a compact, simple and economical case or kit for the use of pipe smokers in which is also provided a humidor for preservlng the tobacco in a proper condition for use, and which provides a match box and striking strip for the matches.
With the foregoing and other-objects in view, the invention will be more fully described hereinafter, and will be more particularly pointed out in the claims appended hereto.
In the drawings, wherein like symbols refer to like or corresponding parts throughout the several views,
Fig. 1 is a plan view of an improved smokers kit constructed according to the present invention and in closed position;
r Fig. 2 is a top edge view of the same;
Fig. 3 is a bottom edge view of the .case; Fig. 4 is a plan view of the case shown open;
Fig. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view gaken through the case on theline 55 in ig. 5; Y
Fig. 6 is a transverse sectional view taken on the line 66 in Fig. 5; Fig. 7 is a similar view taken on theline 7-7 also in Fig. 5;
Fig.8 is a cross sectional view taken on the line 8-'8 in Fig. 5;
Fig. 9 is a vertical sectional view taken on the line 99 in Fig. 5; t
Fig. 10 is a perspective view of the match holder; and I form a receptacle 4 for tobacco.
of the case and is accessible through a.
flanged cover 5 hinged as indicated at 6 to the lower end of the wall 3. The remainder of the bottom of the case is closed by a wall 7 which is rigid with the main body-portion of the case. The flanges of the. cover 5 are adapted to frictionally fit within the side walls of thereceptacle 4 so as to remain closed through the eifectof this tight fit Fig. 11 is a similar View of the humidor and are opened by force being applied to the bead 8 which extends'slightly beyond the bottom. a
Within the tobacco. receptacle 4 and preferably placed against the vertical partition 3 is a humidor unit which, as more particularly disclosed in Fig. 11, consists of the two thicknesses9 and 10 of a strip of metal bent upon itself intermediately as indicated at 11, and provided with numerous rows of intersecting' perforations 12. Between the doubled thicknesses 9 and 10 is placed a blotter or other moisture absorbent pad 13 which is' clamped tightly therebetween. If desirable, the lower thickness 10 may be left imperforate, and in order to efi'ectively hold the pad 18 in position'against' the possibility of its accidental sliding laterally, the perforations 12 maybe produced by punching the upper thickness 9 downwardly so that the ragged edges of the punched perforations will embed themselves in the upper surface of the pad.
The free edge of the upper thickness 9 is curled upwardly and rolled over as represented at l4'in order to provide a finger piece useful in inserting and removingthe humidor unit in and from the tobacco receptacle. The other free edge 15 is bent upwardly a ainst the upper'thickness 9 beyond the a l jacent edge of the pad. Metal or other straps 16 are placed in the tobacco receptacle 4: and eXtend in close parallelism with the partition 3 so as to engage and removably and slidably hold in place the humidor unit which is withdra'wable downwardly when. the cover 5 is opened fully. The partitions 2 and 3 intersect at a right angle and provide a space for a pipe alongside the same.
A block 17 is placed in the case with depressions 18 and 19 made to conform" to substantially the stem and bowl of the pipe, and it is to be understood that the stem depression 18 may be curved to conform to curved pipe ste'ms, and the block and other adjacent parts of the case modified slightly where necessary to receive pipes of this character; A. block 20, shown more particularly in Figs. 4 and 7, acts in conjunction with the block 17 and is formed with ' depressions 21 and 22 being the counterparts respectively of the depressions 18 and 19. The block 20 is carried in a door 23 hinged as at 24 to one vertical side of the case and is adapted to swing over upon the pipe and close the case. The free edge of the door 23 is provided with a depression 25 for occupancy by a boss 26 carried upon a flat spring 27 which urges the boss into the depression 25 and holds the door closed until force is applied to open it. Of course, in practice, a little loose play will be allowed the spring to yield when the door is opened by force.
Cut off from the block 17 at the'upper right hand end of the case by a partition 28 is a compartment 29 for receiving a match holder 30 which is provided with a closed top and a side wall slotted as indicated at 31 to permit insertion and removal of the matches. This match holder 30 is slidahle through the open top of the case and has a bead 32 projecting beyond the vertical walls of the case to admit of engagement by the fingers for the purpose of prying the holder outwardly to give access to the matches The slot 31 is such that the matches will topple over by' the weight of the same and fall to a position w'here their heads will project outwardly enabling them to be readily grasped and removed. Atthe same time the matches will engage the upper edge of the case when the match holder is moved inwardly causingthem to bepus'hed'back into the holder. The match holder 30 next the partition 28 is provided with two notches or depressions 33 and 34 near its upper and lower ends respectively positioned for engagement by a boss 35'carried by a spring arm 36 and projecting through a. perforation 37in said partition'28. The idea is to have the boss 35engage the upper depression 33 when the match; holder 30 is pressed; home in the compartment 29, thus serving to prevent the accidental projection ofthe holder and the loss of matches.
When, however, the match holder 30 is drawn outwardly, it may be moved to a position where the lower depression 34 will be engaged by the boss 35, and this will tend to act as a check on completely with drawing the match holder and it will also susta'in'the holder in an open position where subsequent matches may be withdrawn, and at the sametime the striking strip 38 is exposed. Thestriking strip 38 is exposed through a slot 39' made" in'one' wall of the match holder, and such strip is inserted through a slit 40 made in the adjacent wall of the holder. The engagement of the" holder in'the compartment 29 will prevent the striking strip 3 0 from being lost out of the slit 4L0.
In use, the holder 30 will be supplied with matches and a; striking strip 38, the compartment 4: with" loose tobacco; and a pipe will be carried between the blocks 17 and 20. Theclosed condition of the case is represented in Fig. 1 which is its normal position. When its'use is desired the door 23" will be swung down by applying sutficient force to remove the depression 25 from the boss 26, the parts opening out to the position indicated in Fig; 4. The pipe may then be" lifted from its position of repose in the depressions 1S and 19 of the block 17 after which the door 23 may be returned to its closed position. The case isfpthen' inverted and the cover 5 of the tobaccoreceptacle 4' opened and a'quantity of tobacco poured into thebowl of the pipe. The cover 5 is then closed and the case righted. U
Pressure a'pplied'to the match holder to lift it to the position indicated in Fig. 4 whereupon the matches will swing out to the slot 31'. A= match is'selected'and scraped in the usual manner across the striking material 38 which also project's above the case.
The striking material 38 may be renewed tromtime'to time by removing it through the slit 40 and substituting afresh strip, and in'asimilar manner the pad or blotting material 13 inthe humidor'unit may be removed by prying apart the doubled over strip. The unit is also removed from time to time for the purpose of immersing it in water so that it may at all'tim'es impart the desired moisture to the tobacco.
It will be appreciated from the foregoing that I have provided anexceeding compact case whic'htakes advantage of all of the space in a rectangular construction of thiskindyan d in which access may be conveniently had to the various articles necessary for smoking; 1
It is obvious that various changes and I match holder slidable in the case through the other end thereof and lying at one side of the pipe compartment and beneath the tobacco receptacle and being. of substantially the same thickness as the case, substantially as described. I
