Be it known that I, DANIEL J. CAMPBELL,
A citizen cfthe United States, residing at New York, county of New York, and'State of'New York, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Elliptical Cigarettes, fully described and represented in the following specification and the accompanying drawings,
forming a part of thesame. v
T is present invention relates to an improved cigarette of elliptical form in crosssection, which form fits better between the lips and avoids the necessityfor moistening and flattening the ends, as in the ordinary cylindrical cigarettes. Such elliptical ciga rettes have heretofore'been made with "the seam on the broad or flat side of the ciga- ',-ret-te; and the present invention, broadly considered, consists inan elliptical cigarette having a seam on the edge or on each edge of the cigarette, by which construction many advantages are secured, of which the following are the most important. i J
The desirability of a seamless cigarette, or one having the appearance of being'seamless, has long been recognized, but it has heretofore been impossible to secure such a result or appearance without moldings seamless paper tube and. filling the tube, wi th tobacco after molding, which is very expensive, and
as the fiiler isfcrwd longitudinally into the cigarettes with the seam on the edge also secures a seamless surface for printing on the broad or flat side, which is'yery important,- as it is very difiicult to produce a good impression on the top of a seamwith the flat type necessarily used, as the printing-will not be uniform, being heavy on the seam and faint at each side of the scam, the type in some cases failing to print throughout. Such cigarettes, moreover, may readily be printed Serial No. 585 ,340. (No model.)
on a seamless surface on both sides, so that in packing it is unnecessary to piace the cigarettes with a certain side up, but the printing will always be uppermost ,and'exposed, 5 5 whichever side is up. My improved cigarettes also are stronger than with the seam on the broad or fiat side, as the strain comes primarily on the fiat side and the pull upon the edges issidewise of the seam instead of largely transverse to it, as is the case where the seam is made on the flatside of the cigarett'e', so, that a weaker seamwiilhold the wrapper or the same seam will produce a stronger cigarette.
In making my cigarette in the preferred form also-thatis, by corrugatin g, indentin g, or perforating the edges togetherthe support which is used inside the wrapper in machines for making continuous cigaiette-rods 7o 4 with such seams can be thicker and stiifer on account of pressing the tobacco sidewise'instead'of flatwise, so as to permit a greater pres, sure upon the seam. In thus making the seam, upon the flat side of'the cigarette the interior 7 5 support'must be quite thin, wide, and flat.
There is an advantage alsoin elliptical cigarettes having the seam on the edge in that the lips do not come in contact with theseam to the same extent as when the seam is upon the broad or flat side, thus avoiding the rough, feeling of the cigarette to the lips, especially with .crimped or perforated seams, and this feature of less-contact between the lips and the cigarette-seam is also important in the caseof pasted cigarettes, as the paste is sometimes unpleasant to the lips,' being somewhat liable to harden and stick thereto, and, moreover, the saliva in the mouth is less liable to loosen the wrapper by contact with the paste 0 than when the seam is made on the broad or. fiat side. This feature of less contact between'the lips and seam, moreover, removes largely the objection to cigarettes made with the edges of the wrapper turned outwardly 5- at an angle to the body of the wrapper and secured together, so as to form a slight rib projecting from the cigarette, this rib being very objectionable when placed on the broad or flat side of an elliptical cigarette, buthardly 10o noticeable when placed on one or both edges. hiyiinproved cigarettes also burn better than either the circular cigarettes or the chip tical cigarettes with the seam on the broad or flat side and avoid the objectionable angular burning of such cigarettes, as the seam burns more readilyand with the rest of the which is subsequently divided into proper lengths to form cigarettes, the seam or seams preferably bein g formed by rolling or folding the edges together and crimping or perforat- .ing them to make what is known as a crimped seam.
The invention includes, in addition to the broad invention above stated, various features of invention in elliptical cigarettes and continuous cigarette-rods having a wrapper-' seam on one or both edges, and for a full understanding of the invention a detailed description of constructions embodying the invention in the preferred forms will now be given in connection with the accompanying drawings, and the .features forming the -in-- vention will then be specifically pointed out in the claims.
In the drawings, Figures 1 and 1 are respectively a perspective view and cross-section of a cigarette embodying the invention in the form which I now consider the best, with a crimped seam formed by cross-corrugations in the edges of the wrapper previously folded or rolled together. Figs. 2 and 2 are similar views showing a modified form in which the corrugations run longitudinally of the cigarette. Figs. 3 and 3 are similar views showing a cigarette with the edges of the wrapper turned inwardly at an angle to the body of the wrapper and secured together, so as to form a rib inside the wrapper. Figs. 4 and l are similar views showing a cigarette with a pasted seam on one edge. Figs. 5 and 5 are similar views showing a cigarette with a pasted seam on each edge. Figs, 6 and 6 are similar views showing'a cigarettesimilar to that shown in Fig. 3 with the edges of the wrapper turned outwardly at an angle to the body of the wrapper to form an external rib. Figs. 7 and 7 are similar views showing a cigarette of the same construction as in Fig. (3, but with a seam on each edge. Figs. 8 and S are similar views showing 'a cigarette of the same construction as shown in Figs. 1
and 2, but with the folded or rolled edges of the wrapper perforated together to secure them. iFigIQ is aperspective View of a continuous cigarette-rod with a crimped seam of the same form as shown in Fig. '1.
In each of the figures of the drawings, a is the tobacco filler, and b the wrapper, preferably of'paper, as usual in cigarettes, forming a tube inolosing the filler, so as to form with 9 is formed by corrugating or indenting the edges of the Wrapper, so as to secure them to gether, the edges of the wrapper prior to cor rugating orindentingpreferably being turned outwardly or inwardly at an angle to the body of the wrapper and rolled or folded together, as now well understood in the art in connection with cylindricalcigarettes, both in methods for making continuous clgarette-rods-and in making crimped-seam. cigarettes by other methods.
The seam 2 shown in Fig. 2 is the Same as seam 1 and preferably formed in the same manner except that the corrugating or indentin g devices which form the crimped seam are arranged to make the corrugations or ind'entations run longitudinally of the cigarette.
The seam 3 of Fig. 3 is made by turning the edges of the wrapper inwardly, so as to form a rib projecting inside the wrapper and securing them together, preferably by corrugating, indenting, or perforating them, with or without paste. This form of seam may also be made without corrugating, indenting,
or perforating the edges'by. pasting them together. V
The seam 5' shown in Figs. 6 and 7 is or may be formed in the same way as seam 3 of Fig. 3, except that the edges of the wrapper are turned outwardly and secured together, so as to form a single external rib, as shown in Fig. 6, or two external ribs when two strips are used, as shown in Fig. 7. It will be understood that these external ribs may be rolled, folded, or pressed down upon the cigarette.
The seam 6 of Fig. Sis or maybe formed in exactly the same manner as scams 1 and E2 of Figs. land 2, except that instead of corrugating or indenting the wrapper edges so as to form a crimped scam the successive layers of the wrapper are perforated and thus secured together either with or without paste.
As above stated, the cigarettes embodying the present invention are preferably made by the continuous-rod method, and any specific method and apparatus may be used for this purpose, so as to secure a continuous ciga- IIO rette-rod and cigarette with the filler uniformly compressed and properly filling the wrapper-tube.
It will be understood that the term elliptical used herein is not intended to limit the invention to a cigarette-rod of exactly elliptical form in cross-section, but is intended to cover any modifications of form so long as it is substantially elliptical.v
hat I claim is- 1. An elliptical cigarette havinga Wrapperseam on the edge.
2. An elliptical cigarette having a Wrapper with a pasteless seam on the edge.
3. An elliptical cigarette having a wrapper with a seam on the edge consisting of the edges of the wrapper turned at an angle to the body' of the Wrapper and secured together.
4. An elliptical cigarette having a Wrapper with a seam on the edge consisting of the edges of the wrapper turned inwardly and secured together.
5. An elliptical cigarette having a wrapper with a seam on the edge consisting of the edges of the wrapper secured together by crimping or perforating.
6. A11 elliptical cigarette having a wrapper with a seam on the edge consisting of the edges of the wrapper rolled or folded together and secured by crimping or perforating, substantially as described.
7. An elliptical cigarette having a wrapperseam on each edge.
8. An elliptical cigarette having a wrapper with a pasteless scam on each edge.
9. An elliptical cigarette having a wrapper with a seam on each edge consisting of the edges of the wrapper turned at an angle to the I body of the wrapper and secured together.
10. A continuous elliptical cigaretterod having a wrapper-seam on the edge.
11. A continuous elliptical cigarette-rod having a wrapper with a pasteless seam on the edge.
12. A continuous. elliptical cigarette-rod having a wrapper with a seam on the edge consisting of the edges of the wrapper turned at an angle to the body of the wrapper and secured together.
13. A continuous elliptical cigarette rod having awrapper with a seam on the edge consisting of the edges of the Wrapper turned in- I DANIEL J. oAMrBELL.
