Jufly H 1933, L. o. STEVENSON MOISTUREPROOF CIGARETTE PACKAGE Filed Jan. 2, 1932 INVENTOR. Lamas O. Sfivensan.
w! MBMATTORNEY.
Patented July 11, 1933 UNITED STATES LOMAS 0. STEVEN SON, OF STAATSBURGH, NEW YORK MOISTUREPROOF CIGARETTE PACKAGE Application filed January 2, 1932. Serial No. 584,389.
This invention relates to a moisture proof package for cigarettes or the like and more particularly to the outer cellophane wrapper which is used to retain the moisture of the contents.
lVhile outer wrappers of cellophane have been used to protect the contents of the package no provision has been made for the removal of the cigarettes one at a time from the package without first having to destroy the cellophane wrapper and thus destroying the moisture proof nature of the package, the cellophane being tough and hard to break or tear a portion out of without destroying the entire wrapping.
The object of the invention is to provide a moisture proof package in which a portion of the cellophane wrapper may be removed readily and without in any way. mutilating the balance of the wrapper.
Another object of the invention is to provide means whereby a small portion of the cellophane wrapper may be opened and still be capable of being closed to protect the opening in the package.
A further object being to provide a package of this kind that shall be easy of manufacture, cheap, durable and eificient and require no additional parts.
lVith these and other objects in view, my invention consists in certain construction and combination of parts as will hereinafter be fully described and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which like figures of reference refer to corresponding parts in all of the views, but it is understood that slight changes may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the drawing Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the complete package including the outer cellophane wrapper.
Figure 2 shows an end elevation of the same.
Figure 3 shows a partial view in perspective, showing the top and the section of cellophane being opened. I
Figure 4 is a similar view, showing the two flaps of cellophane that may be folded together to close the opening in the package.
Referring to the drawing The usual package of cigarettes is shown which comprises the label in the form of a pouch 10 which is formed around the inner composite wrapper which is made up of a rectangular sheet of paper next the cigarettes and an outer sheet of foil 12,both of which are folded together upon the cigarettes 13 with the ends folded over upon each other; the sides 14 and 15 being first folded in and upon them both or one of the sides 16 and 17, all of which are held together and to the pouch 10 by thestamp 18 in the usual mannir.
Over all of this is placed an outer wrapper of cellophane in the form a rectangular sheet 19 which is plain upon the top 20 and which is seamed upon the sides as at 21 and folded together and sealed upon the bottom 22. To facilitate the opening of a small portion of the cellophane on one of the upper to corners and adjacent where one of the folds of the composite wrapper will be removed to-form an opening through which the cigarettes may be removed, the upper end of the cellophane 19 is formed with the embossed rib 23 which is weakened along its junction or fold 24 and along the lines 25, 26, 27 and 28, in such a manner that by grasping said rib 23 by the fingers, the same may be torn off leaving the two abutting edges free, which are then pulled up, tearing along the weakened lines and producing the two flaps 29 and 30. 2
After the two flaps 29 and 30 are opened, the corner of the inner wrapper 16 may be removed by tearing or otherwise to form an opening through the package through which the cigarettes may be removed, but as no other part of the cellophane wrapper has been disturbed or removed and as the flaps 29 and 30 may be closed down to cover the opening in the-package, a moisture proof package is retained at all times and the contents protected until all are used.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is.
1. A moisture proof package of the class described, comprising an outer covering formed with a plain end, an embossed rib formed thereon, weakened lines at the base of said rib, and weakened lines leading therefrom to form flaps when severed along said weakened lines.
2. A moisture proof package of the class described, comprising in combination with an inner wrapper formed with a folded end,
