Definitions

  • the invention relatesto a one-hand case for longitudinal articles of any kind, i. e. a case of this nature which can be so actuated with merely one hand that the contents of the case are thrust out of the containing space.
  • Cigarette-cases of this nature and more particularly in which the inner holder for the cigarettecases is so displaced thatthis inner holder is l v obliquely tilted upby the displacing so that the ends of the cigarettes project out over the edge of the case are known.
  • the lid has had to be completely opened to enable the inner holder to be displaced at all.
  • the case is provided with an aperture which enables the inner holder to be displaced and at the same time tiltedup,
  • FIG. 1 shows the case in plan view with the lid completely opened
  • Fig. 2 a side elevation of the case with the lid in the position for use
  • Fig. 3 amodified form of construction likewise in side elevation
  • Fig. 4 shows another case according to the invention in plan View with the lid raised
  • Fig. 5a side elevation 'of this case Fig. 6 a modified form of construction with the lid raised and the inner holder member lifted, in plan view and side ele- Vation
  • Fig. 7 a further form of construction in side elevation with the lid raised
  • Fig. 9 shows a further form of the'case in planv View.
  • Fig. 10 shows a further form of the'case in planv View.
  • Fig. 10 shows a further form of the'case in planv View.
  • Fig. 10 shows a further form of the'case in planv View.
  • Fig. 10 shows
  • FIG. 11 shows the same case in side elevation during use.
  • Fig. 12 shows in perspective a modificationofthe form of con-- struction shown in Fig. 9.
  • the case is denotedby l and its lid by 2.
  • the lid 2 is preferablyv held fast against the edges of the case .in 5 the .closed position by means of springs, rubber bands, or the like 3.
  • thelid 2 is only placed when it is desired to-fill the case.
  • a special container member 4 which 10 can'be displaced by means of lateral extending elements such as pins or the like 6 in guides l in the side wallsof .the case.
  • the container 4 is pressed against the rear Wall of the case by meansof springs 8, the 15 springs being counter-supported against small plates 9 or, the like .provided in the guides 1.
  • the purpose of the invention namely to thrust the cigarettes or the like. stowed in the container member 4 out of the case I by one-handed op- 20 eration is achieved by virtue of the fact that in the rear wall or in the rear portion of the bottom of the case I there is provided-an aperture
  • the arrangement istherefore such that during the displacement of the container member 4- the same is simultaneously lifted. This is accomplished, for
  • the springs 8 restore the same into the initial position, the lid Z'returning also automatically into the closed position under the action of the springs 3.
  • a stop of this nature can co-act for example with an inclined abutment provided on the inner surface of the lid 2.
  • the arrangement can also be such that a small container 4 is provided for each individual cigarette, so that it is also possible to dispense the cigarettes singly.
  • separate inclined guides l2 must be provided for each container member 4.
  • the one-hand case can also be so made that for example on the lid portion 2 there is provided a separate reserve magazine l3 which can be closed by a lid I5, so that a larger number of cigarettes can be carried.
  • the case according to the invention can be manufactured from any desired material such as metal, cardboard, or the like.
  • the lid 2 attached to the case i is not spring-stressed.
  • the lid is raised on displacement of theinner holder 4 so that the cigarette ends are pushed out of the case.
  • the inner holder 4 is released the lid 2 is not restored into the closed position by springs in accordance with the construction after Figs.
  • This locking device is constructed as follows: As in the construction after the Figures 1 and 2 the inner holder 4 is slidable in guides in the side of the case by means of pins 6 or the like attached thereto.
  • these pins are either connected with small "-plates 86 or they thrust the latter forward against the action of a spring; each of these plates is provided with a hook 5.
  • the lateral guides for the pins 6 are provided with gaps l9.
  • To the side edges of the lid 2 there are attached hooks 2! at such points that they engage in the hooks 28, under the action of the springs 8 which restore the inner holder 4, and thereby lock the lid 2 in the closed position.
  • this operation can also be performed with the end position of the inner holder 1 shown in Fig. 4 without having to push the latter forward, if for example the hooks 20 and 5 are suitably bevelled off, so that on depression the hooks 2i! slightly displace the counter-hooks 5 with the inner holder 4 and snap into position beneath the hooks 5, after which the inner holder 4 jumps back of its own accord under spring action.
  • FIG. 6 it is shown for example that it is not absolutely necessary to insert restoring springs 8 in special lateral guides, but that it suflices to take an endless cord of rubber, resilient wire or the like 22 through the bottom of the case I for example through two holes 23, and at the same time to hook the cord onto the bottom of the inner holder member 4, e. g. by engagement with a suitable lug 2!.
  • This form is particularly advantageous when the case is made from cardboard, so that the entire case can be manufacturcd merely from paper material and a rubber cord.
  • a further simplification of the invention can be achieved by providing for the springing of the lid 2 by placing a rubber cord 24 around the lid and body of the case, as shown in Figs. 7, 8a, 8b.
  • This cord 24 can either be laid completely around the case as an endless cord (Figs. 7, 8a) or the one rim portion of the lid 2 can be bent over, as indicated by way of example at 25 and the cord 24 attached at this point which has the advantage that the cord does not become displaced but is retained in the proper position (Figs. 7, 8b)
  • the case i is also equipped with an inner holder 4 which, when displaced, slides over inclined guides !2 with the result that it is lifted and raises the lid 2, in such a manner that through the gap thus formed there are thrust the ends of the .objects, for example cigarettes, contained in the inner holder (see Fig. 11).
  • the inner holder is automatically drawn against the bottom of the case i by means of springs, rubber cords, or the like 22.
  • the case lid 2 is also pressed against the inner holder 4 by separate spring means, in the present form of construction a simplification and improvement is achieved by making the lid of the case in such a manner that it can be detachably connected with the inner holder.
  • this result is achieved by providing the lid of the case with lateral extensions 25, 26'. If the case consists for example of cardboard these extensions may be bent in along the broken lines 2i, 2'! and the edges 28, 28 of the lid of the case.
  • the lid 2 be then released the springs or rubber cords 22 draw this latter together with the inner holder into the position of closure, so that the flaps 26, 26' come into position between the inner holder 4 and the bottom of the case I. If theinner holder 4 be then displaced, by pressing against it for example with the first finger inserted through the aperture 18, the inner holder remains, even during this displacement, within the lid 2 and guided between the flaps 26, 25' on the latter.
  • Fig. 12 it is not absolutely necessary to provide flaps on the lid of the case, and it is sufficient to provide one or more small metal plates, such as hooks or the like 30, which are rotatable about pins 29 provided at the side rims of the lid of the case. i
  • a single inner holder is suflicient, .of which the receiving space is as wide as the diameter of the lip-stick, the case itself being then of narrow longitudinal shape. 7 1
  • a case for the reception of elongated articles comprising: a body-section, a cover-section hinged to said body-section, a movable traymember for the reception of the elongated articles slidably arranged in said body-section, pins arranged on the rear portion of the side walls of said tray-member, lateral guides arranged on said body-section for the reception of said pins, inclined surfaces located in said body-section opposite to the front-edge of said tray-member, said lateral guides and said inclined surfaces being adapted to guide said movable tray-member into a forwardly advanced position with its front part protruding from the upper edge of said bodysection, and springs acting on said pins 'to urge the tray-member in its retracted position within the body-section, said tray-member being adapted to lift said cover-section during its v movement into said advanced position for an extent sufi'icient to permit the passage of the front portion,
  • a case for the reception of elongated articles comprising: a casing, a lid hinged to said casing and normally closing same, a movable housing element adapted to carry the elongated articles, said housing element being disposed within said casing and being slidably arranged therein, said casing being provided with an opening in the rear part thereof, a portion of said housing element normally closing said opening" and being accessible from the outside of the case, and means for guiding said movable housing element into an advanced position with its front part protruding from the upper front edge of said casing when the housing element is moved by finger pressure against said accessible portion thereof, and said housing element being adapted to lift said lid during its movement into said advanced position for an extent sufilcient to permit the passage of the front portion of said articles.
  • a case for the reception of elongated .articles comprising: a casing, a lid hinged to said casing and normally closing same, a movable housing element adapted to carry the elongated articles, said housing element being disposed within said casing and being slidably'arranged -"therein, said casing being provided with an openand being accessible from the outside of the case,
