CIGARETTE ROLLER Filed A ril 9, 1945 Patented May 31, 1949 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE CIGARETTE ROLLER Arthur F. Sas, Holland, Mich.
Application April 9, 1945, Serial No. 587,273
4 Claims. 1
This invention relates to cigarette rollers and is primarily concerned with the production of a very simple, practical and useful device with which cigarettes one after another may be quickly and easily rolled. It is an object and purpose of the present invention to provide a very practical, useful and simple cigarette roller in which cigarettes having their wrappers completely filled with tobacco may be rolled, any and all types of cigarette tobacco may be used with it without spilling or other loss of tobacco and, when not in use, the roller is of a very compact form and small enough that it may be carried readily in apocket, the length of the roller in its compact form when not in use bein slightly greater than a cigarette which is rolled therewith, and said roller being of a substantially cylindrical form having a diameter not greatly in excess of the diameter of a cigarette rolled therewith.
An understanding of a preferred form of structure embodying the invention may be had from the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the cigarette roller made in accordance with my invention.
Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the roller when not in use.
Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1 illustrating how it is supplied with the tobacco and the wrapper for a ci arette preparatory to rolling.
Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 3 illustrating the position of the parts in the rolling operation.
Fig. 5 is a somewhat enlarged central longitudinal section through the roller, and
Fig. 6 is a similar enlarged transverse vertical section.
Like reference characters refer to like parts in the different figures of the drawing.
In the structure a tubular length I of suitable material, preferably wood, plastic or the like is closed at both ends. As shown, a short plug 2 extends into each end of the tube having a larger diameter flange 3, its diameter being substantially the same as the exterior diameter of the tube. Said plugs are permanently secured in place.
LengthWise of and at one side of the tube a sector 4 thereof is removed leaving a longitudinal opening 5 the full length of the tubular member I. An apron 6 of flexible material and of slightly less width than the length of the member i and said sector 4 is secured at one end portion to and partly wrapped around the member To it at its inner side the sector 5 is permanently secured and in a position such that, as in Fig. 6, said. sector may be moved to substantially close the opening at 5, the flexible apron which joins the tube and sector serving as a hinge.
At the outer end of the apron a rod 1 of wood or equivalent material is located and the apron looped around it in a loop 8 securing the rod in place.
In the operation of rolling the closing sector 4 is opened and the apron at its outer portion is inserted through the opening 5 into the tubular member I, as in Fig. 3 and the tobacco 9 placed in the trough of the apron thus produced. A cigarette paper wrapper ID at one longitudinal edge is located against the apron 6 back of the tobacco, its opposite edge being usually supplied with a longitudinal strip of adhesive H which is moistened. Then by moving the sector 4 to a substantially closed position (Fig. 4) and pulling outward on the rod 1 the apron is drawn through the slot between the longitudinal edge 'of the sector 4 and the adjacent edge of the member I with a rolling of the wrapper In about the tobacco and a pressure of the moistened adhesive it against the wrapper where it comes in contact therewith, the cigarette being completed and being removed upon opening the apparatus by movin the closing sector 4 outwardly. It is of course to be understood that the closing sector 4 is narrowed sufliciently to leave a gap for the outward passage of one portion of the apron 6 and the inward passage of the other portion.
When not being used the apron may be rolled into a snug roll about the rod 1 until it reaches the part 4 and the rolled apron is thereupon located against the inner side of the part 4 which may be moved to closed position, housing the rolled apron and rod 1 within the device as in Fig. 2.
With the structure described tobacco of any type suitable for cigarettes may be used without loss or spilling as the closed ends provide stops against such spilling or other loss. The material from which the cigarette roller is made may be anythin suitable. The tubular member I and its sector 4 may be of wood, plastic 01' of any material of sufiicient rigidity. Also the rod 7 may be of any material of suitable strength and rigidity. The apron 6 is usually of a thin cloth, preferably, and on it at both its inner and outer sides advertising or any other indicia may appear. The construction is one very economical to make, is practical and useful to serve the purposes for which made, and is one very convenient for carrymg.
The invention is defined in the appended claims and is to be considered comprehensive of all forms of structure coming within their scope.
I claim:
1. In a construction as described, an elongated trough-like member open longitudinally at one side, a flexible apron secured to said member at a side of the opening thereto, said apron having a width approximating the length of said member, and a closure for the open side of said member and permanently secured to the inner side of the apron transversely thereof in position whereby said closure may be moved to a position in which it substantially closes said opening.
2. A construction as described in claim'l', said trough-like member at each end having end closure members extending thereinto and permanently secured, against which the ends of the closure for the opening of the trough-like mem-, her is adapted to engage, to thereby separate an edge of the trough member closure from the adjacent edge of said trough member.
3. A cigarette roller comprising, an elongated substantially tubular member having a sector removed longitudinally thereof at one side for its full length to form an opening, and a flexible apron permanently secured at one end portion to said member, the width of the apron approximatingbut being less than the length of the tubusector engages against its ends When moved to closed position, the adjacent longitudinal edges of the longitudinal opening in said tubular member and of said closure member being separated short distances from each other.
