SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 448,948, dated-March 24, 1891.
Application filed June 7, 1890; Serial No. 354,654. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JACOB H. FAWKES, of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Cigar-Cases, of which the following is a specification.
My invention is an improved cigar-case, and has for an object to provide a case which will afford protection to the cigars to prevent them from being crushed when in the case, and
which case is collapsible and can be folded flat when empty.
The invention consists in certain novel constructions and combinations of parts, as will be hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claims.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the case as in use, Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the case collapsed or folded flat, and Fig. 3 is'an end view of the lower end of the case folded flat.
The case is shown as having the front and back side pieces A A, the connection-pieces B, connecting the front and back, and the end pieces C C. The side pieces are in the form of frames having side rods a and end cross-rods a and intermediate cross-rods a a wire gage or other suitable closure D-such as leather or the like-being extended between and connected with the side rods a, as shown. This gage does not extend to the ends of the side frames, but terminates short of such ends, and the connections B are also arranged short of the ends of frames A to provide openings E at the sides of the case or holder to afford convenient access to the-oi gars, as will be understood. The connections B are shown as rods extended between the adjacent side rods of the front and back frames and pivotally connected with each, preferably by bending the rods B, to form eyes around the rods 0., as shown. The end pieces C C are each hinged at one edge to the cross-bar of one frame A, and are arranged at their opposite edges to engage the adjacent cross-bar of the other frame, preferably by providing the end pieces at or near their swinging edges with openings f to spring over studs F on the end cross-bars. These end pieces when opencan be folded back flat against the outer face of the side piece, to which they are secured, and such side pieces can then be folded flat together, as will be seen from the drawings.
It is preferred to support or hinge one end piece to one of the frames A and the other end piece to the other frame, as shown, so that one end piece can fold back to one side and the other end piece to the other side.
Manifestly one of the end pieces might be omitted and the case left open at such end; but it is preferred to employ both end pieces, for the reason that thereby I secure a bracing of the case at both ends when the cigars are in place, and for the further reason that thereby the cigars are more securely incased and held.
It will be seen that I provide a cigar-case which may be adjusted to hold the cigars, and will in such adjustment protect the cigars from being crushed or otherwise broken,while when the case is empty it may be collapsed and lie as flat as the ordinary leather cases, which-in use afford no protection against the crushing or breaking of the cigars.
It is preferred to provide the side rods a with sleeves, as G, which receive the ends of the closures D, as such sleeves serve to brace the side frames without materially adding to the weight of the device.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is- 1. As an improved article of manufacture, the collapsible cigar-case herein described, consisting of the front and back frames, the edge connections extended between and pivotally united to the sides of the said frames, and the end suitably supported, all substantially as set forth.
2. A cigar-case consisting of the side frames, the edge connections pivoted to said side frames, and the end pieceshinged at one edge to the ends of the side frames and arranged at their opposite edges to engage the opposite side frame, substantially as set forth.
3. An improved cigar-case consisting of the side frames, the edge connections pivotally united to the side frames, and the end connected with the side frames, the said side frames being disconnected at their ends, whereby to provide the side openings E, all substantially as described, and for the purposes set forth.
4. Theimproved cigar-case herein described,
sleeves, the edge connections extended between and pivotally securedat their ends to the side frames, and the ends 0, all substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
The above specification of my invention signed by me in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
