7 My invention relates to cigaretterollers. or rolling devices and the main object is to provide a simple and, efiicient device by means of which cigarettes may be readily and quickly rolled, the
dvicebeing of such nature and construction that it may be suitablyencased and used at home or the office or adapted for carrying inthe pocket or pocket book for use at any time. o
. Another object is to provide a device of this kindconiprising a minimum of parts including a fabric apron or belt for rolling and packing the tobacco and a roller and guide and support meansspaced apart to pass the ends of the apron and form a tobacco receiving bight therein whereby tobacco placed in. said bight may be rolled andpacked and finally covered or enclosed in the cigarettefpaper bysimply pulling upon the apron in the'proper. manner.
With "these .and other objects in view the invention resides in the novel construction and arrangement of parts as hereinafter set forth and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings ofone preferred embodiment ofthe invention and a modification thereof and in which drawings. v Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device as enclosed in a case for home or oflice use...

Figure 8 is a plan view of a modifiediorm of the invention. v
Figure 11 is a view similar to Figure 4 show ing themethod of forcing the paper downward preliminary to rolling it around the tobacco.
The first embodiment of my invention comprises a case including the bottom 1, slidable top '2 sides Band the fron'tgand rear ends 4 and '5. A laterally extending partition Sis provided in the case adjacent or in the rear portion thereof. Secufred between the front end 4 and this partitionifi and extended longitudinally in the case" is aforming block There shown as being made of-wood and including a longitudinal groove 8 along one upper edge. It is understood how-- ever that a metalblock of relatively. less bulk may 'be' employed if desired. A'roller 9 is journaled at its ends 10 in the end '4 and partition 6 and extensions alongside and in parallelism with the upper. edge of the block? above the groove 8 therein. A shaft orfrod '11'isslidablyfpassed through apertures 12 in the end 4'an'd partitionfi and extends alongside and parallels the roller '9 and a sleeve 13 is'slidablyan'd removably mounted on that portion of this shaft'whichlies between said end 4 and partition 6. ,Theforegoing elements constituteithe cigarette rolling :appara= 'tus proper and are used ingconnection with a ior'ming band'or strip'1'4 whichco'mprises a rectangular ribbon of flexible fabric of a Width slightly less than the length offth'e roller 9 and sleeve, 13 and whichis looped or foldedaroun'd av wooden insert '15at one end- The other end .16 .of said band 14 ispreferably though not'necessarilyscalloped as shown and the .band'itself is preferably of material similar to ,oil clothfhaving one rough sideand one smooth side.
In the operation of rollingja cigarette the shaft .11 is drawn lengthwise almost entirely from the case and thesleeve1'3 is removed. The band 14 isth'e'n laid over the forming block 7 with its rough 'sideuppermost; and a centralportion is pressed downward over the roller 9 "forming ,a bight designated-throughout the drawings 'atfQI'Z into which a quantity of tobaccolTsuflicient for a cigv aretteis placed. The shaft 11' is thenjpushed back .into itsnormal position and the sleeve 13: is replaced leaving thebight 17 of the band '14 depended beneath the roller -9 and the sleeve and shaft assembly with the endportions ,ofthe band trained upwardly between the .roller'and sleeve as shown-in Figure '3; The band is then worked back .and forth longitudinally by grasping'and pulling alternately upon each end causing the tobacco 'I. in t e b ight V1': to be rolled and packed beneath the roller 9 and sleeve 13 as.wi1l be understood. With the band 14inabout the position shown in Figure 3 .one edgeof acigarette paper 18 is inserte'd-in the space between the endport'ions o'f the band as they pass downward be tween the roller and sleeve and these end portions are then drawn upward together and the its whole band and its enclosed tobacco and paper is pushed downward as shown in Figure 11. The cigarette paper 18 is thus forced downward be tween the roller and sleeve as shown and. upon pulling outward and upward upon the end portion of the band carrying the wooden insert 15 and at the same time grasping and holding the other end portion and the exposed part of the cigarette paper the slackin the band will first be taken up and then the cigarette paper rolled around the tobacco as shown in Figure 4. When the band is pulled completely out from between the roller 9 and sleeve 13 the rolled cigarette will drop to the bottom 2 of the case from which it may be removed by tipping said case and allowingthe. cigarette to roll out through the slot 19 in the side 3. It is understood of course that the paper 18 has its margin 20 coated with a, suitable adhesive which may be provided with the paper or applied as needed from a can 21 carried'in the chamber 22 of the case between thepartition 6 and rear end 5. It will be apparent that this arrangement provides a simple and convenient means for rolling cigarettes and that they maybe loosely or tightly packed as desired ,by varying the tension on the band 14 as it is manipulated in the preliminary. rolling and packing of the tobacco as set forth. If desired the use of the sleeve 13 may be dispensed with and the shaft 11 itself be made larger and arranged to rotate freely as the band is manipulated. The roughside of the band 14 has a tendency, to grip and carry the cigarette paper along as it is rolled while the smooth side facilitates the easy movement of the band over the roller and sleeve as will be understood.
I Figures 6 and 7 show a tobacco container and dispenser for, use with the cigarette rollingdevice as described and this, container comprises a can 23 in general form similar to the usual tobacco tin but having a lid 24 at'its lower end. The upper end ortop 25has a longitudinal slot 26 and a tube 27 is journaled horizontally through the can beneath this slot 26 and through apertures 28' in, the sides 29. The tube 27 has a longitudinalfslot '30 through its wall adapted to register with the slot 26 when the tube isturned to bring this slot 30 upward as will be understood the tube being rotated readily by grasping its extended ends 31 with the fingers. With the slot 30 disposed downwardly as'shown in the drawings the can 23 is inverted and tobacco therein will fall into the tube. The tube 2'7 is then rotated to bring the slot 30 into registry with the slot 26 and the tobacco in' the tube will'fall downward through the slots and may fall into the bight 17 formed in the band 14 as set forth hereinbefore; The size of the tube 27 is such that the tobacco there in is the right quantity for a cigarette thus making it possible to readily measure on the desired amountof tobacco each time a cigarette'is rolled. When not in use the can 23 sits in the case alongside the side 3 and the extended ends 31 of the tube 27 rests. in slots 32 and in the end 4 and partition 6 as shown in Figure 2.
Figures 8, 9' and 10 illustrate amodified form of the invention'suitable for mounting in a pocket book or hand bag A and on the innerface of one of the sides B thereof, a supporting strip 33 being mounted acrossthe vertical "legsC' of the usual U-shaped frame D on' which'strip the invention is secured. In this embodiment the forming block 34 is formed of wood secured tothe strip 33 by wardly away from the block as indicated by the arrow in Figure 8. A sleeve 43 is mounted loosely on the shaft 41 and the cigarette'isrolle'd in the manner set forth hereinafter by manipulating the band 14 between this sleeve 43 and the rounded nose portion 3'7 of the block. This nose portion 37 takes the place of the roller 9 but it is obvious that a roller may be employed if desired. The
While I have herein set forth certain preferred embodiments of my invention it is understood that I may vary from the same in minor; struc-' tural details so as best to construct a practical device for the'purpcses intended, not departing from'the spirit of the invention and within the scope of the appended claims.
