ClGAR-EOX.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 328,617, dated October 20, 1885.
Application filed June 26,1885.
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Fnnnnrox O. SirALsrIc, ofAllegheny, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cigar-Boxes; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification.
My invention relates to an improvement in cigar-boxes; and it consists in a cigarbox in which the bottom and sides are made in a single piece, and which is provided with inner perforated end pieces, which are secured in position by means of flexible strips, and outer end pieces, which are also perforated, covering-strips which cover over the perforations in the box, and the cover of the box, as will be more fully described hereinafter.
The object of my invention is to provide a cigar-box which is preferably made from paperpulp, and which is provided with double end pieces, for the purpose of protecting the box and making it stronger, and which can be made either a close or a ventilating box, as may be desired.
Figure 1 is a plan view of the blank from which the bottom and sides are formed. Figs. 2 and 3 show side elevations of the end pieces. Fig. 4 shows a vertical longitudinal section of a cigar-box which embodies my invention.
A represents the blank from which the bottom and sides are made, and which is preferably made from paper-pulp of suitable thickness and strength. This blank is scored along the lines B, in order that the sides 0 can be turned up at right angles thereto. This bottom and the two sides are preferably made in a single piece, not only for the sake ofstrength, but for convenience in manufacturing.
Instead of having but a single end piece, I use an inner and an outer end piece, and thus have a double thickness of material at each end. The inner end piece, D, is placed in be tween the ends of the sides and bottom, and is secured in position both by the help of the strip E, of any suitable fibrous material, or by nails, tacks, glue, cement, or any similar fastenings which are used for securing two Serial No. 109,871. (No model.)
articles together. This strip E, of fibrous ma terial, is applied to the outer side of the end piece, and the projecting ends F are then glued, cemented, or otherwise fastened to the inner sides of the side pieces, for the purpose of assisting to secure the end pieces in position. The outer end pieces, H, are applied over the inner end pieces, and the outer end pieces cover the ends of both the side pieces and the bottom, and project sufficiently above the top edges of the inner end pieces to hide the edge of the cover I when it is closed. These outer end pieces may be secured in posit-ion by means of tacks, glue, or other fastenings, as may be preferred, and serve to both protect the end of the box when the box is thrown endwise, and to protect the cover in case any weight is brought to bear upon it, as when the boxes are placed in piles, or a number of boxes are secured together. The inner end pieces serve specially as supports for the covers when the boxes are closed, and thus prevent any pressure which is applied to the boxes from warping them, as they would 0therwise do when left unprotected.
For the purpose of making either a tight or a close box, as may be desired, according to the condition of the cigars, there are a number of perforations, J, which are made through both of the end pieces, and which perforations J are covered over by a strip of paper, L, when it is desired to close the openings, so that the cigars will not be ventilated. When it is desired to ventilate the cigars, the holes are opened by simply punching some sharp instrument through this paper covering. By opening or closing these openings the box is made tight or close, according to the condition of the cigars which are packed in the box.
In order to show where the holes are made through the two ends, metallic eyelets may be used for the purpose of securing the two ends together, and these eyelets will indicate through the paper covering Ljust where the holes are, and thus avoid the trouble of having to hunt for them with some sharp instrument, and thus disfigure the box to a greater or less extent.
Having thus described my invention, I claim 1. In a cigar-box, the combination of the pieces, D, strips for securing them in position, and the outer end pieces, H, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
