DISPLAY BOX Filed Dec. 1'7, 1926 Patented Feb. 28, 1928.
UNITED era-Tee PATIENT oF-FIcEP.
A EI E- WALL QK, QI YQB EENHS LVANIA.
Application filed December 17, ser-i al 11o.- 5 5,,g,;
In carrying out the invention, I provide a back piece whichis relatively thick, compared with the other parts of the box, and which is preferably convex on its inner side, and I provide a front piece consisting of a thin strip which is considerably longer than v the back piece and curved in the arc 0f,a circle substantially concentric with the inner side of the back piece. The front and back pieces are of the same height and are joined at their ends by end pieces consisting of thin strips which project above and below the front and back pieces. Top and bottom pieces are provided, both alike in form and size, these pieces flaring from rear to front and adapted to rest against the front and back pieces and to fit closely within the projecting portions of the end pieces. The several parts, except the top piece, are nailed together and the top piece is hinged to the back piece. The end pieces are at an obtuse angle to the back piece, and the latter is made relatively thick so that the nails passing through the end pieces into the back piece will enter the latter for their full lengths.
In the accompanying drawing,
top' piece or cover portion being partly broken away;
Fig. 2 is a section on the line,22 of Fig. 1; and,
Fig. 3 is a section on the line 8-3 of Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawing, 1 represents the back piece of the box, which is relatively thick from front to rear and convex on its inner face 1*. The front piece 2 is c0mposed of a thin strip of material, considerably longer than the back piece and curved so that it is substantially concentric with the convex face of the back piece. The back and front pieces are joined by end pieces 3-3, which flare outwardly from the ends of the former to the ends of the latter. The ends of the back piece are beveled so that the end pieces fit flatly against them, and nails 4 are driven through each end piece into the back piece. These nails lie at an angle to the line adjoining the ends of the back piece, but, owing to the thickness of the latter, the nails do not go through its forward side, as would be the case if the back piece were a thin strip of material, as
found in the ordinary rectangular cigar box..
The top piece 5 and the bottom piece 6 are alike in form and size. The top piece has a straight rear edge 5*, its end edges 5 flare outwardly from the rear edge, and its forward edge 5 is curved to correspond with the curvature of the front piece 2 and lies flush with the outer face of the front piece.
The top piece is hinged. to the back piece by a fabric strip 7 The end pieces 3-3 projectabove and below the back and front pieces and when the top piece is in closed position it rests upon the back and front pieces and its ends fit closely against the upward projections of the end pieces. The, bottom piece 6 is nailed to the rear and front pieces and its ends liewithin the downwardly projecting parts of the end pieces and are secured thereto by nails 8, driven through the end pieces into the bottom piece. In
the ordinary rectangular cigar box, the bottom piece overlaps the end pieces, while the top piece fits between the end pieces. In the present invention, the top and bottom vpieces are alike and interchangeable, which effects an economy in manufacturing and assembling the box parts. Fig. 1 is a top plan view of the box, the r The box is suitable for containing and displaying confections and cigars. When used for the latter purpose, and with cigars which are wider toward their tip ends than their .butt ends, the convex face of the back piece holds the cigars in position against the arcuate front piece and the cigars are displayed in a fan-shaped series.
What I claim is:
1. A cigar box comprising a relatively thick back piece'having beveled ends, an arcuate front piece, relatively long with respect to the back piece, straight end pieces secured to the ends of the back and front pieces, and top and bottom pieces having "straight side edges flaring from the back to the front piece said top and bottom fitting Within said end pieces, the forward edges of said top and bottom pieces being curved to conform to the curvature oi said front piece.
2. A cigar box comprising a relatively thick back piece, convex on its inner side and straight on its outer side a front piece substantially concentric With said inner side and relatively long with respect to the back piece, straight end pieces secured to the ends of said front and back pieces and projecting above and below the same, and flaring top and bottom pieces having straight side edges, said top andibottom pieces fitting Within the projecting portions of the end ieces and lying against said front and ack pieces, said top piece vbeing hinged to the back piece.
In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature.
ARBIA E. l/VALLICK.
