SAMUEL M. CLEMENT, OF WEBSTER GROVES, MISSOURI.
Application filed August 9, 1926. Serial No. 128,287.
My invention relates to a combined tobacco can and cigarette paper holder, and, it is a distinctand practical improvement to overcome certain practical objections to carrying the cigarette paper in a package separate from the tobacco can.
The object of my invention is to provide a tobacco can having a hinged cover at its upper end. with an interior compartment at one of the curved sides of the can for the reception of a tick of cigarette papers.
A further ob ect of the invention is to provide a partition between the cigarette paper compartment and the tobacco compartment which extends from the top edge of the can to the bottom wall thereof so as to avoid any offset to prevent the freeflow of all the tobacco from the can or into the can when packing same.
A further object of the invention is to provide the upper edge of the tobacco can opposite the upper edge of the partition with a cutaway portion which will be closed by the flange of the cover when in a. closed position, but which will allow the upper edge portion of the outer cigarette paper to be exposed when the can cover is opened, thereby permitting the outer cigarette paper to be easily and r-adily engaged by the thumb for pulling the paper nearly out of its compartment in a curved state so that the paper can be filled with tobacco by tilting the can to a horizontal position before the paper has been entirely removed from its compartment.
A further object of the invention is the provision of a combined tobacco can and cigarette paper holder which possesses advantages in points of simphcity and efliciency, and, at the same time proves itself comparatively inexpensive in c ost of manufacture.
With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel features of construction,iarrangement and combination of parts hereinafter -more fully lescribed and finally pointed out in the claims hereto appended. I
Referring to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, whereln like characters of reference denote similar parts-throughout the several views:
1, is a perspective View of a tobacco can embodying the features of my invention.
Fig. 2, is a perspective view of a portion of one of the upper corners of the tobacco can clearly illustrating the upper end of the partition within the can and the cutaway portion of the upper-edges of the Wall of the can.
Fig. 3, is a vertical sectional view of the combined tobacco can and cigarette paper holder.
Fig. 4. is a top plan view thereof.
Referring to the drawings, the tobacco can is indicated by the reference numeral 1, and is, as shown, of the ordina construction having its side walls 2 an 3 curved, its bottom end 4 closed, its upper end 5 open and normally closed by means of the usual hinged cover 6 having the flange 7.
In the tobacco can 1 is a U-shaped cigarette paper compartment 8 which is formed along one side of the can and separated from the tobacco compartment 9 by means of a U-shaped partition 10 which extends from the top edge of the can 1 to the bottom 4 thereof so as to eliminate any side pockets for tobacco to lodge in. The side edges of the U-shaped partition 10 are bent outwardly, as at 11 and the end faces thereof frictionally engaged the inner faces of the front and back walls of the can. The partition can also be more securely held against displacement by soldering the bent ends 11 to the front and back walls of the can 1 by means of solder 12, or other well known fastening means, as is manifest.
The cigarette compartment 8 is provided with a suitable bottom wall 13 intermediate the top edge and bottom wall of the can so that the upper edges of the cigarette. papers 14 will lie substantially even with the upper edge of the can. The partition 10 being U-shaped and positioned along one side of the can so as to form the cigarette compartment to one side of the can does not materially change the interior shape of the can and does not in any way form a pocket below the cigarette'paper compartment for tobacco to lodge in.
The upper edge portion of the curved side wall 2 of the can which is opposite the upper end of the partition 10 is cutaway as at 15 so as to expose the upper end of the outside cigarette paper 14. This cutaway portion 15 permits the smoker to partly extract the outer cigarette paper from the pack in the compartment 10 by engaging the paper with one of the fingers or a thumb and pulling the paper out the desired distance. After the paper has been extracted from its From the foregoing description, it will be apparent that by having the cigarette compartment formed along one of the curved sides of the can that the pack of papers will assume a curved formation and that each paper as it is partly'extracted from the compartment will retain this curved, or U-shape so that tobacco from the can can be placed upon the paper without falling off. This is an advantage over extracting a fiat paper from a receptacle and then holding the paper between the fingers of one hand while pouring tobacco thereon with the other hand. Papers extracted from compartment 10 are always in a transversely curved shape ready for tobacco to be poured thereonflzs soon as they are extracted from the compartment a sufiicient distance to receive the tobacco as the can is tilted to a horizontal position on its side.
The many advantages of the herein described invention will readily suggest themselves to those skilled in the art to which it appertains. V
I do not wish to be understood as having limited myself to the details of construction shown and described, but desire to have it understood that the invention I have shown in the drawings is merely illustrative, as it is manifest that various minor changes may be made in the exact construction and particular arrangement of parts without departing from the spirit of my invention, vence I reserve the right to make any such chan es, or modifications as may fairly fall within the scope of the appended claims when fairly construed.
What I claim is:
1. In combination with a tobacco can having a cover therefor, of a U-shaped cigarette paper compartment :formcd wholly within and alon one side of the tobacco ban and se arated rom the tobacco compartment t ereof by a partition so that the papers can be part] extracted from their compartment in U- aped formation to rea cutaway portion formed.
ceive tobacco when the can is tilted and the cover has been opened.
2. In combination with a tobacco can, of a U-shaped cigarette paper compartment formed wholly within and alon one side of the tobacco can and separated from the tobacco compartment thereof b a partition,
t the upper edge of the side of the can wall opposite the upper edge of the partition and a flanged cover for closing both the open end of the cigarette paper compartment and the tobacco compartment and closing the cutaway portion of the can.
3. An article of the class described comprising an elliptical shaped container having an open top and a closed bottom, a U-shaped partition within the container extending from the top edge of the can to'the bottom thereof and spaced from one of the curved side walls to provide a U-shapedcigarette paper compartment, a bottom wall for said compartment disposed between the upper end of the compartment'and the bottom of the container, the upper end of said curved side wall adjacent the upper end of the partition being cutaway so as to expose the upper end of the outer cigarette paper and a hinged cover for said compartment which when closed covers the cutaway portion of the curved side wall of the container.
4. In combination with a tobacco can having opposed narrow curved side walls, a curved partition conforming in shape to the curvature of one of the side walls, said artition being spaced therefrom and extending from the bottom of the can to the top edge thereof to form a cigarette paper compartment wholly within the can to receive, and hold a pack of cigarette pa rs in a curved condition so that they ma h: extracted one at a time in said curved s ape to receive tobacco from the can when being partly held in the cigarette paper compartment, a bottom member in the cigarette compartment positioned above the bottom of the can in spaced relation thereto, a cutaway portion in the upper edge of the wall of the can adjacent the upper edge of the partition, and
a flanged cover member for the can for closing both the cigarette paper compartment and the tobacco compartment as well as covering the cutaway portion of the can wali.
