BOX
Filed NOV. 28. 1930 Patented Sept. 22, 1931 UNETED STATES PATENT oFpFlce HENRY LEIMAN, OF TAMPA, FLORIDA, ASSGNOR T LEIMAN-XVIDMN PANY, 0F TAMPA, FLORIDA l BOX Application mea November es, 1930.t jseriai No. 492,830. j
This invention relates to boxes and particularly to Wooden or veneer boxes, such as are commonly used for cigars.
lt is old in the art to form a box including the four sides, of wood or veneer in the usual manner, and then to line the box inside along the sides with strips of wood or veneer, resting upon the iioor of the box and projecting above the sides, forming with the sides a peio ripheral rabbet, constituting a seat for the lid,
the latter telescoping over the projecting portions of the lining strips.
Ordinarily, the lid lits loosely in the rabbet and the aroma of the cigars is permitted to escape.
One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a box in which the lid telescopes Wedgingly upon the rabbet forming a substantial seal whichl prevents escape ofthe aroma of the tobacco.
Another object of the invention is the con- 'struction of the lid of the box so as to include as a unitary part thereof a frame for holding the decorative label.
Other objects of the invention will appear as the following description of a preferred and practical embodiment thereof proceeds.
In the drawings in which the vsame reference characters have been used throughout 3o the several figures to designate identical part-s:
Figure 1 is a perspective -view of the box embodying the features of the present invention;
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the lining stips in exploded relation;
Figure 3 is a plan view of a corner of the box; and
Figure 4 is a fragmentary cross section showing details of construction.
Referring now in detaill to the several igures, the box is formed with four sides desi gnated by the reference character 1, a bottom 2 and a lid 3, the latter having sides 4. The lid is hinged to the box at the back and flexible straps 5 are secured to the lid and box to limit the extent of its opening;
The box is shown with a latch 6 for hold-A the lid when in shut position, but this is of course, not a feature of the invention.
With boxes of this type as is usually constructed, no regard has been paid to the tightness with which the lid its upon the body of the box and since the strips 7 may shrink with aging, the mitered corners are apt to gap, and as the lid may it loosely over the projecting edges 10, ample avenues of escape are provided for the aroma of the cigars.
In the present invention the strips 7 are formed with a very gradual bevel 11, best shown in Figure 2, extending over substantially the entire extent of the outer faces of the projecting edges 10. The inner dimensions of the lid are so proportioned that when the lid is brought into telescoped relation to the edges of the strips 7, the sides 4 of the lid eoact wedgingly with the tapered faces 11 of said strips, drawing them together and closing whatever gaps may exist at the cordown upon the bevelled edges of said strips `so as to form a substantially airtight seal between the lid and body of the box, thus retaining the aroma and iavor of the tobacco.
It will be observed in Figures 1 and 4 that a sheet 12 which may be of any suitable material such for instance, as cardboard, has been interposed between the sides 4 of the lid and the top 13. This sheet may be cut out to form a frame for the reception of the decorative label as suggested at 14 in Figure 1, or it may itself be the medium upon which the label is directly printed.
The sheet 12 and the top 13 are secured to the sides 4 of the lid at the same time, by common securing means.
Thile I have in the above description disclosed what I believe to be a preferred and Box ooivr- A practical embodiment of the invention, it is to be understood that variations in the details of construction are included Within the scope of the patent except Where restricted by the terms of the appended claim.
What I claim is: l
A cigar box comprising a body having a bottom and four sides secured together`to form a receptacle, a lid having a top and four sides secured to each other, the lid being hinged to said body so that the sides of the lid and body are in alinement when the lid is closed, four false sides each hav-ky ing its ends connected by a miter joint With the ends of the adjacent false sides and fitting snugly and detachably` Within said body and against the sides thereof, and extending above the edges of the sides of said body to form flanges projecting into said lid when the lid is closed, said flanges being beveled inwardly to permit the sides of the lid to close thereover with a wedging action.
`In testimony whereof I aiix my signature.
- j HENRY LEIMAN.
