PACKAGE FOR CUT TOBACCO.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 415,633, dated November 19, 1889.
Application filed May 11, 1886. Renewed June 26, 1889. Serial No. 315,624. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FREDERICK GRILL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Phila? delphia, countyof Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Packages of CntTobacco and Method of Preparing the Same, fully described and represented in the following speci Iication and the accompanying drawings, forming part of the same.
My invention relates to the packing of cut tobacco, and has in view the protection of the manufacturer against use of his brands by others, and the protection of the consumer against fraud and imposition by the sale to him of tobacco under false brands, and also the packing of tobacco in bulk in such manner that there shall be less loss to the retailer in handling than is now experienced, this application. for patent being a renewal of the application tiled by me May ll, 1886, serially numbered 201,887.
Heretofore cut tobacco has been packed by manufacturers principally in two ways: When small parcels Avarying in weight from one .ounce to a pound, more or less, have been required, the parcels round or square in form have been separately inclosed in paper or tinfoil. IVhen larger parcels have been required, the tobacco has been packed in loose form or bulk into pails, barrels, boxes, or other suitable receptacles. The first method of packing above-mentioned is subject to the disadvantage that owing to the small size of the packages and their separat-e exposure to the atmosphere the tobacco therein soon becomes dry and loses its natural aroma, causing injury to both the manufacturer and the consumer. The second method of packing mentioned tends to preserve the moisture and natural. aroma of the tobacco, but is subject to the disadvantage that where tobacco is packed loose in large receptacles bearing the name or brand of the manufacturer it is easy to substitute for the tobacco originally placed therein other tobacco made by other manufacturers, and thus to deceive the consumer as to the kind of tobacco he is purchasing. This opportunity for fraud is not offered by the first method of packing above mentioned because of the difficulty of changing the contents ef small labeled packages. The second method of packing` is also subject to the dis advantage that the retailer in dealing out the tobacco in small quantities from the large package suffers a loss due to two causes: Firstevaporation of moisture, resulting in loss of weight, and, second,'the breaking of the tobacco as it is pulled apart, producing a greater or less quantity of what are known as shorts, which accumulate in the bottom of the receptacle, and can only besold, if at all, at aredu-ced price. y
The object of my present invention is to pack loose cut tobacco into pails, boxes, barrels, or other receptacles in such manner that its quality, its avor, and its moisture shall be preserved to the same extent as heretofore in bulk packing,\vhile at the same time every part of the contents of the receptacles is suficiently identified as the product of the manufacturer to prevent fraud, and in such manner that, furthermore, the loss to the retailer through evaporation and the production of shorts in dealing out the tobacco in small quantities is reduced to a minimum. To this end I propose to separate the tobacco to be packed into each box, pail, or other receptacle into a number of parcels, fastening the tobacco of each parcel together by means ofa contrivance which leaves substantially the whole or a considerable pori-ion of the surface of the parcel exposed. I may also, and preferably do, provide the contrivance which fastens or holds each of these parcels, or the parcel itself, with a tag, label, or other device, designating the manufacturer or owner of the tobacco. These parcels Iproposeto pack into the boxes, pails, or other receptacles used. The eontrivances which fasten o'r hold together these parcels may be made of any material whatsoever, of animal, vegetable, metallic, or other substance. Likewise the tags, labels, or other designating devices may be made of any appropriate substance whatsoever, and may bear any inscription, trade-mark, monogram, or design whatsoever, or the name of the brand of tobacco, or of the manufacturer or owner. The tags labels, or other designating devices may be attached or affixed to the eontrivances which fasten or hold the parcels together.
As examples of fastening eontrivances which may be employed, I Inay mention a IOO network, made of any suitable substance, having large or small meshes, a pouch or capsule of any suitable material provided with perforations, a simple loop, single, double, or otherwise, made of any suitable substance, plain or meshed, and the simple tying of the parcels with string, wire, or ribbon of any suitable substance.
In the accompanying drawings,which illustrate my invention, Figure l represents a parcel of cut tobacco held in a net of large meshes. Fig. 2 is a parcel held in a net of smaller meshes. Fig. 3 `represents a parcel in which the fastening contrivance consists of a pouch provided with perforations. Fig. 4 represents thc form of fastening con trivance which I term a capsule, and which may be either of perforated mat-erial or of net-work,
the two halves of the envelope, as shown in the ligure, illustrating, respectively, the two constructions. Fig, 5 represents a parcel held together by a single loop. Fig. G represents a parcel held together by a double loop. Fig. 7 represents a parcel held together by a meshed or netted loop. Fig. S represents a netted quadrilateral loop for holding the parcel: Fig. 9 represents a parcel simply tied. Fig. 10 represents a double loop. Fig. 1l represents a box or receptacle containing tobacco packed in accordance with my present invention, while in Fig. l2 a similar receptacle is shown containing tobacco packed as has been the practice heretofore.
In all of the figures the tag, label, or other device which designates the manufacturer or owner is lett-ered M. This tag is preferably made of tin about one-half inch Wide and one and one-half inch long, japanned, about onethird being provided with the name of the brand or name of the manufacturer, or both, the other two-thirds being bent to slip over and clasp the fastening' contrivance, the part provided with the name of the brand, &c., being exposed.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is l. A tobacco-package consisting of a pail, box,or other receptacle havin g packed therein a number of vseparate parcels of cut tobacco, the tobacco of each parcel being separately fastened or held by a device which permits substantially the whole or a considerable portion of the surface of the parcel to be exposed, substantially as set forth. y
2. A tobacco-package consisting of a pail,
box,or other receptacle havin g packed therein a number of separate parcels of cut tobacco, the tobacco of each parcel being separately each fastening device having fastened or aflixed to it a tag, label, or other designating device, substantially as set forth.
4. A tobacco-package consisting of a pail, box, or other receptacle having packed therein a number of separate parcels of cut tobacco, the tobacco of each parcel being separately fastened or held by Wires, strings, or equivalent material, substantially as set forth.
5. A tobacco-package consisting of a pail, box, or other receptacle having' packed therein a number of separate parcels of cut tobacco, the tobacco of each parcel being separately fastened or held by wires, strings, or equivalent material, and each parcel being provided with a tag, label, or other marking device, substantially as set forth.
6. The method of packing cut tobacco in boxes, pails, or other suitable receptacles, which consists in separating the tobacco into a number of relatively-small parcels, fastening the tobacco of each parcel together in such manner that substantially the whole or a considerable portion of the surface of the parcel is exposed, and placing the parcels so prepared in the receptacle, substantially as set forth.

The method of packing cut tobacco in boxes, pails, or other suitable receptacles, which consists in separating the tobacco into a number of relatively-small parcels, fastening the tobacco of each parcel together in such manner that substantially the whole or a considerable portion of the surface of the parcel is exposed, aftixing adesignating-label to each parcel, and placing the parcels so prepared into the receptacle, substantially as set forth. n
In testimony whereofl I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
