My invention provides an extremely simple and highly efficient cigarette case adapted to be used as a container of an original package of cigarettes and to operate under each opening movement to eject a cigarette from the container. Y
Generally stated, the invention consists of the novel devices and combinations of devices hereinafter described and defined in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings likel characters indicate like parts throughout the several views. V
Referring to the drawings:
Fig. l is a perspective view showin-g the case as it appears when closed or in original condition;
Fig. 2 shows the case opened up but without cigarettes therein;
Figs. 8 to 7 inclusive are fragmentary views in the plane of lines marked 3-'-7 showing cigarettes without the case and illustrating different conditions or positions of the` case section in respect to the closed positions; and
Fig. 8 is a perspective view of one of the retaining bars removed from working position.
This improved case is adapted to beinadeA from a single piece of cheap material such as cardboard or quite stiff paper that isbent and folded to form two flat rectangularl box sections 9 each of such Vdepth as to hold one layer of cigarettes Y. The hacks or outer plates of the box sections 9 are formed with side flanges and withA adjacent connected flanges, which latter are partially severed by rectangular cuts that form alternately projecting ejecting lips 10. The lips 10 project alternately from the end flanges of the two box sections and the uncut portions 1l., loetween the said projecting lips, afford a hinged connection between the two hox sections.
The inner plates of the box sections are, at one side, formeel as extensions of the adjacent side fianges of said box sections and at their free side edges are preferably provided with' flaps 12 that are tucked againstr and se- 'taining harsV 1G, preferably' of cardboard Vspring-acting paper and independently cement. At their extreme outer ends thejbox sections are provided withflaps 13 that are adapted to be tucked 4in the boxvsection to 'close the outer ends thereof, as shown at the left in Fig. 2. VThe inner plates of the box sections,adjacent to their hinged edges, are forine'dwith cigarette ejecting` passages 14 that extend from side to side thereofV and, as shown, vare provided with central extensions or notches 15 so that the cigarettes canbe touched with theiingers and moved downward if at anytime the eigarettefsticks inthe box. Normally the'discharge of the cigarettes of the box sections isprev'ented by restrips with laterally bent ends `17.
This containerinade from paper or cardboard may be `constructed at such'vsinall cost that it may be advantageously used as a container for cigarettes and may be loaded with cigarettes and sold as an original package. In an original package both the retaining bars 16 will be in position, as shown in Fig. 8. To construct the device for delivery of cigarettes hy opening movements, one of the bridge bars will heinoved, as shown in Fig. 4iso as to permit the cigarettes in the box section to drop down, as shown in Fig. 5. When the container is opened up, as shown in Figs. 6 and 7, the bottom cigarette of the box section from which the container has been removed, wiii he ejected by the interlapping alternately projecting lips l0 and moved outward, as shown in Fig. 6, and then as shown in Fig. 7, the cigarettes may be readily picked up with the fingers.` f l vWhen he is closed the cigarettes will naturally roll away from the returning lips l'but if theydo not they will he forced back by said lips so that the lips will engage and hold the next cigarette when the case is again opened. rlhe lips 10 are quite flexible, and in some instances, to give the same increased flexibility, they have been made of tough 5 ment-ed. VJ hen the box is to be cheaply constructed the original container and the use of hut one of the ejecting lips l0 will be found satisfactory even when stamped integral with the box sections. The complete container =00 can be made from a single sheet of paper. This is desirable where extreme cheapness of construction is required but in some instances the container may be made of several paper sheets connected by cement or otherwise. It may, however, be made from sheet metal but this has been desirable only Where the container` isto be relilled and used over and over again.
If one of the box sections has been emptied of the cigarettes it will, of course, be necessary to remove the retaining' bars 16 from the other box section so that the cigarettes contained in the latter will be successful-ly ejected under box opening movement.
lVhat I claim is 1. A- cigarette case comprising two box sections hingedly connected, provided at their hinged edges With alternately projecting ejeeting lips, the inner walls of said box seetionshaving` cigarette ejecting passages for delivering the cigarettes one at a time to the ejecting lips under ease opening movements, removable cigarette retaining devices applied to the box sections for the normal delivery of cigarettes to said ejecting lips.
2. The structure defined in claim 1 in which said'retaining devices are in the form of lat bars With laterally bent ends and engaged with the sides of the respective box sections and readily removable therefrom through said. cigarette ejecting passages. Y
In testimony whereof I aiix my signature.
JOHN E. ALLEN.
