w. D. HEAP CIGARETTE CASE Filed Auz. 11. 1926 longitudinally Patented Mar. 1, 1927.
UNITED STATES WILLIAM D. HEAP, OF TWO RIVERS, WISCONSIN CIGARETTE CASE.
Application filed August 11, 1926. Serial No. 128,602.
This invention relates to special receptacles, and more particularly to a cigarette case. One object of the invention is to provide a cigarette case in which a full pack of cigarettes may be placed and prevented from being crushed or Otherwise. damaged while being carried in a pocket.
Another object of the invention is to so construct the cigarette case that one or more cigarettes may be-extracted therefrom without opening the case.
Another object of the invention is to pro vide a case formed of companion sections which are of practically a duplicate construction and are hingedly connected so that the may be readily moved to an open or a c osed position.
The invention is illustrated in the accomanying drawing, whenein,
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved case,vwith a package of cigarettes shown therein.
Figure 2 is a view elevation, and
Figure 3 is a through the case. i
The cigarette case constituting the subject matter of this invention comprises companion sections 1 and 2, each of which includes a main wall 3 from the sides and ends of which extend marginal flanges or walls a and 5. In the preferred form the sections are metal, but other materials may be employed if found practical. In order to connect the sections and permit them to be swung into and out of a closed position there has been provided a hinge 6 which extends of the case and has its pivotally connected leaves secured in overlapping relation to the inner faces of the rear side Walls 4-. At its front the section 2 carries a latch 7 which is formed of resilient metal and is firmly secured by a rivet 8 or in any other desired manner. The latch 7 projects from the front side wall of the section 2 in overlapping relation to the front side wall of the section 1 and has its free end portion bent, as shown at 9. to provide a projection adapted to snap into the recess 10 and securely butreleasably retain the two sections closed. When the sections are closed showing the case in rear transverse sectional view a receptacle is formed of the proper size to snugly receive a pack of twenty cigarettes.
At its upper forward corner the receptacle is provided with an extracting opening formed by cutting recesses 11 in adjoining portions of the upper and forward side walls or flanges of the two sections 1 and 2. It should be noted that the opening formed by the recesses 11 is of less width than the flanges or walls in which the recesses are cut. This leaves inwardly extending wall portions 12 which slightly overlap the pack of cigarettes and will serve to brace the adjacent corner portions of the main Walls 3 and prevent them from being easily bent outwardly. By referring to Figure 1, it will be readily seen that when a. pack of cigarettes having a corner portion removed to expose the cigarettes is placed in the case the cigarettes will be exposed through the opening and may be readily withdrawn without opening the case. As cigarettes are removed, others will take their places so that they, in their turn, may be extracted. It will thus be seen, that cigarettes placed in the case will be protected and prevented from being crushed, but at the same time may be readily extracted without the necessity of opening the case.
Having thus described the invention, I claim:
A receptacle for a package of cigarettes, said receptacle comprising companion sectrons, each having a main wall and side and end walls projecting therefrom and having edge to edge contact with corresponding walls of the other section, a hinge having pivotally connected leaves secured against certain of the contacting side walls of said sections and hingedly connecting the sections for swinging movement into and out of a closed position, corresponding corner portions of said sections having their meeting side and end walls formed with re cesscs registering to provide an opening of less depth than the receptacle and through which cigarettes placed in the receptacle may be extracted, and means to releasablv hold said receptacle forming sections close in testimony whereof I afiix mv s1 at-ure.
