w. J. WARD TOBACCO BOX Filed July 23, 1923 Patented Apr. 14, 1925.
.WILLIAM J. WARD, OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.
TOBACCO BOX.
Application filed July 23, 1923. Serial No. 653,194.
To all whom it may concern:
' Be it known that I, TILLIAM J. lVAun, a
citizen of the United States. residing at San Francisco, in the county of San F ranclsco and State of California. have invented new and useful Improvements in Tobacco Boxes,
of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relates to improvements in tobacco boxes or tins and more particularly to a cigarette paper holder attachment for such boxes whereby the papers and tobacco constitute a complete handy package and the papers are stored in a convenient and readily accessible position.
An object of the invention is to provide a novel-attachment of the character described which is secured or fastened on the box or tin in a simple and effective manner, without necessitating making any material changes in the construction of the present day style of box or tin. A further object is to provide a cigarette paper holding attachment for the flat pocket type of tobacco tin which will not appreciably increase the bulk of the package as a whole or detract from the appearance of the package but will provide a flat pocket for the papers on one side of the tin or box.
Another object is to provide an attachment of the character described which may be easily attached to and removed from the box as desired and which may bear advertising matter in correspondence with and which will match the advertising such as usually appears on the can.
lVith the above mentioned and other objects in view, the inventioncon'sists in the novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter described, illustrated in the ac- 40 companying drawing and set forth in the claims hereto appended, it being understood that various changes in the form, proportion, size and minor details of construction within the scope of the claim may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.
Referring to the drawing: Fig. 1 represents a side elevation of a tobacco can bearing the attachment of my invention.
Fig. 2 represents a side elevation of the can with the attachment removed.
Fig. 3 represents a front element of the attachment. Y
Fig. 4 represents a cross sectional view taken on the plane of line 1-4 of Fig. l.
The embodiment of the invention shown in detail in the drawing, comprises a flat pocket forming plate 1, of rectangular form and provided on both longitudinal edges with flanges comprising side walls 2.. On one end edge is a flange providing a bottom wall 3. The side walls 2 have lateral flanges 4; extending from one end of the plate to points spaced from the opposite end and these flanges serve as a means of attaching the plate 1 to the can.
The upper end-of the plate is cut away or notched as at 6 to facilitate withdrawal of the cigarette papers 7.
The can 5 is of the ordinary flat pocket type now in general use and is provided with spaced vertical slits 8 in one side wall. These slits at their upper ends run into short lateral entering slits 9. The wall of the can along the outer margins of these slits is bent or forced outward to provide for proper attachment of the plate 1.
The flanges 4: are inserted in the lateral slits 9 and pass beneath the outwardly off set portions 10 of the wall of the can as the plate is inserted downwardly into place. The walls 2 and 3 engage closely upon the outer side of the can and due to the resiliency of the material, and the friction set up, insures the holding of the plate 1 in place. The slits 8 and flanges 4 are of the same length and need not be as long as the plate. The plate may be removed as desired without disturbing the tobacco package or tin and its insertion or attachment likewise may be easily effected without disturbing the package. The lateral flanges 4 at the lower ends thereof engage the ends of the vertical slits 8 and thereby limit the movement of the plate 1 and hold the same in pocket forming position.
The plate 1 with the can or package provides a long thin pocket in which a quantity of cigarette papers may be conveniently stored as shown in Fig. 1. The plate reinforces the tin as well as providing the pocket and does not materially and appeciably increase the width or bulk of the tobacco package.
In use of the attachment on cans or packages having pictorial or written advertising matter thereon, the plate 1 may have the advertising matter such as concealed there-v hs iapp'liedto its outer ,face and arranged to match the advertising matter appearing on the can proper. In this way the appearance of the can is not marred through use of the attachment of this invention. The simple and inexpensive manner of attaching the pocket forming plate so as not to require material changes in the can construction and 15 lateral entering slits formed in said wall at of the pocket, a similar flange on one end 2 edge of the plate forming the bottom wall of the pocket and outwardly extending flanges formed integral with the side'flanges,
adapted to enter the first named slits through the entering slits and to lie under said wall of the can to removably hold the plate in pocket forming position, said lateral flanges at their lower ends engaging the closed ends of the longitudinal slits.
