CABINET FOR TOBACCO, CIGARS, ac.
SPECIFICATION forming part; of Letters Patent No. 335,097, dated January as, 1886.
Application filed August 27, 1885.
To (ZZZ whom. it may concern..-
Be it known that I, CHARLES N. swirl, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Cabinet for Tobacco, Cigars, &c., of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
My invention relates to a moistening-cabinet for keeping or storing tobacco, cigars, &c. and the invention consists, principally, of the combination, with the body of the cabinet, of a water-receptacle and capillary conductors leading therefrom, for distributing the moisture in the cabinet, so that the air throughout the interior of the cabinet may be kept at uniform humidity, which is necessary to the preservation of the goods, and obviates the necessity of shifting the goods, especially where a large quantity of manufactured or leaf tobacco is stored or kept.
The invention also consists of the special construction and combination of the cabinet and its accessories, all as hereinafter fully de scribed and claimed.
Reference is to behad to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure l is a perspective view of my improved tobacco-cabinet, showing the top and side doors partly agar and the lower drip-pan partly drawn out. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a part of one of the walls of the cabinet, showing the preferred constructionthereof, with means for protecting the contents of the cabinet from contact with the capillary conductor; and Figs. 3 and at are modifications of the manner of supplying the water to the condoctors.
The cabinet A is made in box form, of any suitable size, with the side walls, a a, back wall, 1), bottom 0, and partial front wall, d. It is closed by the front door, 6, hinged to the upper edge of the partial front wall, d, and the top door, f, hinged to the upper edge of the back wall, I). The partial front wall, d, may be dispensed with and a full-sized front door used, if desired.
At the top of the cabinet is placed, upon supporting cross-pieces g, the water-receptacle B, in which water or other liquid may be placed for moistening the air in the cabi- Serial No. 175,462. (No model.)
net. From this receptacle B lead several conductors, h h, preferably of lampwicking, cloth, or other fiber or fabric. These lead down the back or side walls, or both, of the cabinet to or nearly to a drip-pan, O, placed at the bottom of the cabinet to receive any water that may drip from them. The upper ends of the conductors h are by preference held in the receptacle B by means of separate weights i, so that by lifting the top cover, f, a part or all of the conductors may be reremoved and replaced at pleasure, to regulate the humidity of the air in the cabinet as circumstances require, or for cleansing.
The back and side walls of the cabinet are by preference lined with sheets j, of corrugated sheet metal, or other material impervious to moisture, which form vertical passages at the side of the cabinet to receive the con ductors h, and at the same time admit of a free circulation of the air throughout the interior from top to bottom past the cleats h h, on which shelves will be placed for supporting the tobacco or cigars or the boxes containing the same.
A grating or slatted false bottom, E, is placed in the cabinet over the drippan 0, so that any goods that may accidentally fall in the cabinet will not drop into the drip-pan; and to prevent any of the contents of the cabinet from coming in contact with the conductors h, I prefer to cover the back and side with the net-ting G, as shown in Fig. 2. In place of this netting strips of wood or metal may be secured at intervals along the back and side walls, if desired, behind which the conductors may be placed.
Constructed as described, a uniformlyhumid atmosphere may be maintained in the cabinet throughout the whole interior thereof, and the degree of humidity may be regulated by means of the conductors h.
In place of an open receptacle, B, water may be supplied to the conductors by means of a trough, pipe, or tube, to which the condoctors may be attached, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. The tobacco'cabinet A, provided with a receptacle for water, in combination with conductors h, leading out of the receptacle, for dis- I 3. The cabinet A, lined with sheets j, in [O tributing the moisture and regulating the same combination with the waterreceptacle B, conin the body of the cabinet, substantially as ductors h, and netting G, substantially as dedescribed. scribed, and for the purposes set forth.
2. The cabinet A, lined with corrugated sheets, in combination with the water-recep- CHARLES SWIFT taole and the conductors h, leading from the Witnesses: receptacle down the corrugations, substantially H. A. VVEsT, as described. O. SEDGWIGK.
