ALFRED J. PARKER, OF NEV YORK, N. Y.

RECEPTACLE FOR CIGARS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 417,365, dated December 17, 1889.

Application filed May 23, 1889. Serial No. 3111819. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ALFRED J. PARKER, of the city and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Receptacles for Cigars, &c., of which the following is a specification.

This receptacle for cigars or other articles is adapted to being placed in a hat, so as to utilize the space ordinarily existing within the hat and above the head for carrying such light articles as cigars, cigarettes, tobacco, &c.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a section of a hat with my improved receptacle in position therein. Fig. 2 represents the arch-piece as laid out fiat. Fig. 3 shows the shape of the paper as cut out previous to being folded into the shape of the box, and Fig. 4 is a section of the box and arch-piece at right angles to that in Fig. l.

The arch-pieceA is of sheet material, preferably card-board, and having ends or legs 2 2 and the central tongues 3. These legs 2 2 have upon them cross-marks at equal distances apart, and the length of the arch-piece is sufficient for the largest sizes of hats, and these cross-marks upon the legs in dicate where such legs can be cut off to shorten the archpiece uniformly at both ends, so as to adapt the same to smaller sizes of hats, and it is preferable to print upon the surface of the archpiece suitable ornamental designs, including directions as to the manner of use, and also a tablet at 4 adapted to receive the name of the person to whom the hat belongs. It is now to be understood that this arch-piece is to be introduced within the hat, the ends 2 2 thereof passin gin between the lining or sweat-band and the interior surface of the hat, and at the center portion of this arch A. the receptacle B is connected.

This receptacle B is to be of any desired size or shape and adapted to cigars, cigarettes, tobacco, or other articles to be carried within such receptacle; but I find that it is most convenient to make this receptacle out of cardboard or other sheet material, and to provide wings 5, that are to be folded toward each other and lap, so as to form the edges and lower surface of the box, and the bottom Wing 6, when folded over, closes the bottom end of the receptacle, and the'portion 7 of such wing passes in behind the lapping portions of the wings 5, so as to form a space or pocket into which the tuck 8 may be inserted. This tuck 8 is to form the top or end of the box or receptacle, and it is of a size adapted to pass down behind the fold of the Wings 5 into the space provided for it, and there is a pull-piece 9 formed as an extension-tongue from the end of the tuck, the same being folded backwardly and passed through a slot 10, so as to extend up on the outer surface of the tuck to be grasped in pulling out the tuck when the box or receptacle is to be opened.

In the body of the box or receptacle B incisions or slots are cut at 12 at a sufiicient distance apart for the tongues 3 of the arch-piece A to be entered through such slots for connecting the box or receptacle to the arch-piece, and in order to prevent the ends of the tongues 3 from coming against the cigarettes or other articles contained within the receptacle B it is preferable to introduce a shield-piece C, formed of cardboard or other sheet material within the receptacle B, so that the tongues 3 may pass through the slots and in between the shield-piece C and the body of the receptacleB. B y this construction I am enabled to make a cheap and efficient receptacle that is Well adapted to cigars, cigarettes, or other light articles; but I remark that the archpiece A,0f sheet material, cut out and introduced within the hat, is adapted to any receptacle that can be connected with it-such as a tobacco-bag-in place of the box heretofore described. This arch-piece is better adapted to the intended purpose, and is lighter than wires, spring-bands, and similar articles that have been introduced within the hat for receiving cigars or analogous articles.

I claim as my invention 1. The arch-piece A, of sheet material, hav ing legs to pass down between the sweat or lining and the body of the hat, in combination with a receptacle for cigars or other articles attached to such arch-piece, substantially as set forth.

2. The arch=piece A, of sheet material, hav in g legs 2 2 with equidistant marks upon them to indicate the place at which the legs are to be cut off for fitting different sizes of hats, in combination with a receptacle for cigars or other articles, attached to such arch-piece, substantially as set forth.

3. The receptacle 13,013 sheet materiahhaving wings 5, end and bottom parts t} 7, and a tuck S, folded together, in combination with the arch-piece A, having ends or legs to set into the hat between the same and the sweat or lining, and to which arch-piece the receptacle is connected, substantially set forth.

4:. The receptacle 13,01 sheet material, hav ing slots 12, wings 5, and end and bottom parts 6 7, folded andlapped on each other, a tuck 8, and pull-piece, in combination with the arch- ALFRED J. PARKER.
