Application July 15, 1952, Serial No. 293,949
1 Claim. (Cl. ISO- 1) This invention concerns a two-way moisture sealing pocket pouch, and particularly a tobacco pouch for retaining the normal moisture of the contained tobacco.
The tobacco pouch of the invention is made of a pliable foldable material aifording double protection to the n contents. The exterior may be leather, plastic or other suitable material. The interior is provided with a material which is non-porous to moisture and arranged to form a pocket for the insertion of the tobacco, and the easy removal of the tobacco therefrom. A feature of the invention is the construction of the interior pocket which has an opening above the fold line of the pouch, thereby enabling the contents to rest lower than the fold. The fold thus acts as an inner seal when the pouch is folded. Another feature is the configuration of the pouch which affords an outer tight seal when the pouch is closed. This is achieved by a zipper arranged on the periphery of the pouch. The inner and outer seals constitute a twoway moisture retention and sealing arrangement for the contents. Still another feature is a small pocket located outside thc fold line but in the interior of the pouch for accommodating cigarette paper, pipe cleaners or other small articles.
The following is a more detailed description of the invention, in conjunction with a drawing wherein:
Fig. l illustrates an elevation view of the pocket pouch of the invention, in closed condition, as seen from the front.
Fig. 2 illustrates the pocket pouch completely opened;
Fig. 3 is a cross-section of Fig. 2 along the line 3-3;
and
Fig. 4 is a cross-section of Fig. l along the line 4-4.
Throughout the gures of the drawing, like parts are designated by the same reference numerals.
Referring to the drawing in more detail, the outer covering or exterior of the pouch is made from a single sheet of easily foldable material 10 such as leather (real or imitation) or fabric or plastic. The plastic may be vinylite, pliolm, koroseal or any other suitable material. If a fabric made from cloth is employed, such as rayon or nylon, different colors may be used, and the material may be moisture-proofed, as by coating with a rubber composition, if desired. The interior of the pouch includes two exible liners or sheets 12, 14 of moisture-proof material, such as a suitable plastic or a rubberizedcoated fabric, sewed or sealed together and to the exterior sheeting 10 along the edges thereof by stitching 16 to form a pocket 18.
The pouch is shown as having the general shape of an hour-glass whose halves are symmetrically positioned 2,134,584 Patented Feb. 14, 1956 ICC on opposite sides of the fold line 20. The inner moistureproof sheet or liner 12 covers the entire inside of the entire lower half of the pouch and extends above the fold line 29 to form an opening at 22 for the insertion into and removal of tobacco 24 from the pocket 18. The edge 22 of the inner liner 12 is shown in the form of a hem.
The entire periphery of the pocket pouch, as seen in Fig. 2 is provided with a zipper 26 for affording a moisture retaining outer seal for the pouch when closed.
A small pocket formed by stitching or sealing a small rectangular-shaped piece of material 28 to the outer face of liner 12 serves to accommodate cigarette papers, pipe cleaners and other small articles. The piece 28 may or may not be waterproofed and is stitched to liner 12 on only its bottom and two short sides, and has an opening at 30 which is in the form of a hem.
It should be noted that the opening 22 for the inner pocket 1S is above the fold line 20. The tobacco (whether cigarette or pipe type) rests below the fold line 20, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. Hence, when the pouch is closed, as shown in Figs. l and 4, the center fold 20 acts as a seal to retain the normal moisture in the tobacco. This inner seal, together with the outer seal formed by the zipper when the pouch is closed, provides double protection for the contents, and prevents any loss of moisture from the tobacco.
The construction of the pocket pouch is such as to prevent moisture from the tobacco from entering the small pocket formed by the sheet 28.
in one embodiment of the invention actually constructed the pouch, when closed, was six inches long and four inches wide. The outer covering was a tine pin seal leather.
I claim:
A tobacco pouch having the general shape of an hourglass when completely opened, said pouch being foldable at the narrow waist of said pouch, said waist constituting the foldable center of the pouch which symmetrically divides the pouch into two equal halves, comprising an outer covering made of foldable material, an inner sheet of moisture-proof material of the same size as said outer covering and sewed thereto at its edges, another inner sheet of moisture-proof material having a size larger than one-half the size of said other sheet and attached thereto solely at those edges adjacent the edges of the outer covering, thereby forming a deep pocket between said two inner sheets of a size larger than one-half the size of the hour-glass with a transverse opening across the sheets above the center fold of said pouch, whereby said center fold forms an inner seal for the contents of said pocket when said pouch is closed, and a slide fastener around the periphery of said pouch forming an outer seal for said pouch when closed, thereby affording double protection for the contents of said pouch.
