Application July 20, 1938, Serial N 0. 220,285
(crane-48) 2 Claims.
My invention relates to a combined cigarette package wrapper and match package holder which has for its principal object to supply a wrapper of sufiicient stiffness to protect the cigarette package and of sufficient flexibility in its circumferential dimension to permit difierent brands of packaged cigarettes to be accommodated by the wrapper, and yet with a fit snug enough to retain the said wrapper in place on said package.
Another object is to provide a simple locking connection between the ends of the wrapper, which is secure when the parts are interlocked, and which provides a method of holding a match package securely in flat position against said wrapper, and so as to cover and conceal the interlocked ends of said wrapper.
. A still further object is to provide a wrapper which exposes both ends of the cigarette package and furnishes a large amount of space for advertising matter. The ease of inserting and removing the match package from the wrapper is most advantageous from the standpoint of the smoker of the cigarettes contained in my new and improved wrapper. The present invention combines the cigarette package and my wrapper therefor, with match package secured thereto, in a form convenient to use and economical to manufacture.
The nature of the invention will be readily understood from the following description when read in connection with the accompanying drawing, and the new and novel features will be particularly pointed out in the claims appended hereto.
Fig. 1 is a plan view of the wrapper blank prior to folding about a cigarette package.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the wrapper in folded and locked position.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the wrapper applied to a cigarette package and with a match package applied thereto.
Fig. 4 is a vertical section of the wrapper showing the cigarette package and the match package in elevation.
In the drawing, A indicates any ordinary package of cigarettes generally sold to the smoking public, B a match package of the usual folding type, and O my new and improved wrapper for encasing the cigarette package A and to hold the match package B.
I first form a blank out of a material, preferably paper stock, having a sufiicient body thereto to protect and preserve the integrity of the cigarette package so that the cigarettes contained therein may not be pressed out of shape, as so often happens when the'usual cigarette package is opened at one end corner and then carried in the smokers pocket or purse. This blank is of a generally rectangular form, as shown in Fig. l, with one end I formed with a projection 2 having a downwardly projecting member 3. A notch 4 and a notch 5 are provided in the end I to permit of the member 3 to be interlocked with the end 6 of the blank C. A curved slot 1 is formed in the end 6 and is adapted to receive the projection 2 of the end I. The blank C is scored as at 8 to provide a ready method of folding it into position to encase a cigarette package A.
It will be noted that I form the notch 4 of sufficient size at its upper and enclosed end to permit cigarette packages of difierent circumferential dimensions to be snugly encased in my wrapper. I am aware of cigarette packages now on the market which vary from 5 inches in circumference to inches. the approximate extent of the variation in circumferential dimension of the most popular makes of cigarette packages now on the market. When the projection 2 is inserted through the curved slot 1, the width of the opening of the notch 4 will permit the snug fitting of the individual wrapper to the individual cigarette package to which it may be applied.
The upper position of the end 6 is cut away as at 9, as such cut away material is unnecessary, bulky, and likely to be in the way when inserting the matchv package B in place. I provide an elongated slot l0 below the curved slot 1 in the end 6. The width of the slot it is suflicient to receive the cover ll of the match package B. I believe most match packages of the type I employ are approximately the same width.
When the blank C is folded into the position shown in Fig. 2, it is ready to receive the cigarette package A, which is slipped therein, after which the match package B is placed in position by releasing the lip I2 from the portion l3 through which the leaves of matches M are stapled as at l5. The paper cover of the match package B is then threaded upwardly through the slot l0 between the interlocked ends I and 6 of the wrapper C, and the free portion ll extends upwardly and over the cut away section 9 so that said portion II can be folded down over the matches l4 and the lip I2 again caught under the portion l3, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. It will be noted that the part It of the match package B extends downwardly over and covers the extension I! on the end I. This not only prevents I believe this may be catching the outer corner of the extension I! on any object, but it also makes a neater appearing package.
I claim:
1. A holder for a package of cigarettes and a book of matches comprising an elongated blank having end portions interlocked to form a rectangular sleeve of a size to embrace and hold a package of cigarettes, one end portion of said blank forming a wall of said sleeve, the other end portion of said blank forming a flap, said flap having a. tongue and said wall having a co-operating slit to form said interlock between the ends of the blank, said wall having a slot therein of suflicient length to permit the passage .of the cover of a match book through said wall, and said slot being 50 located relative to said interlock that when the cover of a match book is threaded through said slot the said interlock will be disposed between the matches and the cover of the match book, whereby the match book embraces and protects said interlock and assists in maintaining the said interlock.
2. An elongated-blank for providing a stiff protective cover for packages of cigarettes, said blank being of comparatively stiff sheet material on each side of the central panel, and a flap on the remote side of each side panel, one of said flaps having an elongated closed slot therein, said slot being parallel to the longitudinal axis of the blank and being spaced from the top edge of the blank a distance corresponding substantially to the length of a book match package, said slot being of a length substantially corresponding to the width of a book match package, the other flap having a, slot therein in alignment with the first-named slot whereby when the blank is folded on its scorelines about a cigarette package, the slots will register for the reception of the cover of the book match package.
