RUDOLPH FINZER, OF LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY.
TOBACCO-(DADDY.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 228,182,I dated June 1, 1880.
` Application filed February 3, 1880.
To all whom it may concernl Be it known that I, RUDOLPH FINZER, of Louisville, Kentucky, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Tobacco-Caddies; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification.
Figure l is a perspective view of a tobaccocaddy with the head removed. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the caddy closed, taken at the ing a groove on the under side and a plug or length of tobacco partly inserted therein. Fig. et is the head of a caddy, showing a groove on the inner side containing two plugs of tobacco.
Similar letters ot' reference indicate corresponding parts.
The invention relates to a new improvement in boxes or Caddies for packing plug-tobacco or other substances, by which irregular or extra numbers of plugs or pieces may be packed in the ordinary-sized boxes or caddies made for regular or specic quantities.
Tobacco to be shipped or stored properly must be tightly packed in compact solid packages, so as to keep out air and moisture and to prevent drying or molding, &c. It is ordinarily packed in caddies of established sizes in even layers, making a solid compact mass, which is then pressed under a screw -or hydraulic press until all the air and moisture are driven from between the plugs or pieces,which become an almost solid lump. The head or lid ofthe caddy is then pressed in against the tobacco and lined down as nearly air-tight as tightly packed in these regular-sized caddies, more or less unfilled space is left in the caddy, and the tobacco is liable to be injured from various causes, and cannot be safely shipped or stored.
My invention consists in making a caddy with one or both heads grooved on the inner side to receive one or`more plugs iitted snugly in the groove, so that when the heads are pressed in the whole makes a solid compact mass with no unfilled space in the caddy, thus being able to pack one or more eXtra plugs or pounds in the ordinary regular-sized caddies.
To enable those skilled in the art to understand my invention, I will describe thebest inode oi' carrying it into effect.
In the accompanying drawings, A represents the caddy filled with plugs ot' tobacco B, the head, on the under side of which is the groove C, made to receive the plug E, closely fitted. When the head B lis pressed into the caddy, as shown in Fig. 2, and fastened by the linings D D, the plug E is pressed tightly against the tobacco in the caddy, and the whole makes a solid compact mass.
F F represent sheets of tin-foil between the layers of tobacco.
Fig. 4 represents a head with a groove containing two plugs. Both heads of the caddy may be grooved in the same lway to contain' W. G. OsBoRiv, A. L. ROBINSON.
