Specification of Letters Patent.

CIGAR-CASE.

Patented Aug. 4, 1908.

Be it known that I, Jonas LAXGFELD, a citizen of the United States, and a resident. i of the cit-yof New York, county of New York, State of New York, have invented an Imrovement in (igar-(ases of which the folowing is a specification.

My invention has reference to'cigar cases, i and consists of certain iin )rovemcnts. which are fully set forth in the following specification, and shown in the accompanying draw- Tlie object ofmy invention is to provide a pocket cigar case with means for keeping the tobacco in a moist condition while in no wise interfering with the usual and normal use of the case.

My invention consists ofa pocket case for cigars of leather or equivalent material combined with a moisture pad secured therein in such manner as to permit the insertion and removal of the cigars in the usual manner.

More articularly, my invention resides in the com )ination of a cigar case, with a huniidor comprising a moisture pad and a metal holder therefonwhich has oiienor more extensions for attachment with the case.

My invention also comprchcnds details of construction which, together with the features above specified. \villbe betterunderstood by i refercnceto the drawings, in which Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of a cigar case embodying my invention; Fig. 2' is a cross section of the same on line 2- '2: Fig. 3 is an elevation of the humidor detached from the case; Fig. 4 is a sectional elevation of a modified form of my invention: Fig. 5 is a. cross section of part of same on line 5 5 of Fig. 4; Fig. (5 is 'a'scctional elevation of a lower par i of a cigar case embodying another l modification of'iny invention: Fig. 7 is an i elevation 'of another style of cigar case to i which my invention is aiplied; Fig. 8 is a cross section of same on line S 8 but with v the case ti on; Fig. 9 is a perspective view of smalltubularvessclwhich'lits into tlndiottoin the humit or employed in the case shown in Figs. 7 and 8; and Fig. 10 is a cross section of 5 the sameon line 10-40.

Referring to Figs. 1, .2 and 3, is the body I of the cigar caseand is made of rectangular shape adapted for pocket use. .\s shown, it is open at the top. This case is usuallyniadc of'soft. leather. I I

B is a humidor frame having flanges I) I) 1 and'supporting-a pad F of absorbent niaterial such as felt which is moistened with water when in use. The ends of this frame-B are provided with spring arms E E which normally s )read apart at their free ends, as shown in Fig. This humidor is forced down to the bottom of the case and the spring arms rest against the inner end walls of the case. These arms are preferably made of flat sheet metal of a width approximately equal to the thickness of the case so that they act as stiffener-s to the ends while the humidor frame B acts as a stitfener for the bottom part of the case. The spring action of the arms E E act to hold them snugly to the ends of the case and keep the lunnidor in position. These arms also constitute 1119-21118 for raising the huniidor from the case when it is required to remoisten it.

(The specific construction of the hiiniidor shown in. Figs. 1, Z and 3, consists of a flat plate having inwardly directed side flanges b b which form a groove into which the moistu-re pad F of felt or other suitable porous material is placed. As shown in Fig. 2, these side flanges 12 may leave a gap between them through which the pad F may be seen. It is immaterial, h'owcvcr. just how this framework which supports the moisture pad is formed, but the construction illustrated in these figures is exceedingly simple, etfectivc,

and chcaplv-madc. I

in Figs. 4 and the hunndor is shown at B and is arranged againstone ol the ends of the case instead of at the bottom, so that the cigars would be parallel to the humidor in stead of at right angles to it. as indicated in Fig. 1. The huinidor B is provided with an arm F. extending from it and in this instance bent over at the top as at c to fit over the upper edge of thc cascA. whereby the hinnidor may be held in proper position within the case and may be readily withdrawn from it when desired for purposes of rcmoistcning it.

[n Fig. (i. the huniidor B is shown as a and may have an opcningthrough one of thc ends through which moisture may be applied to the absorbent material within.

Referring to Figs. 7 tojtl. the cigar case is 1 made of two parts A hinged together, and in each of which parts the cigars are adapted to be arranged vcrtitailly. Each of these parts correspond substantially to the case shown in ill bur is innoe witl'i o n'retallic frame by l tending along the ends of the case and spring which the two parts are connected. In the hoirom of each of these parts A, a lnnnidor F ior. ill-(i113 in Fig. i, but in. this case the arms i i are mode of wire shown at E in erof being made oi lint metal indicated in l and 2 because the shape of the leather 11 of the ease A is better adapted to re- L the arms if in rom'id cross section then iinr metal; otherwise the construction is :mlistsialifill3 me some as in the case of Fig. l.

in all of hese uses of my invention, it will observed that the hunndor is arranged wriluu the rose and in 9. pos tion to supply in lure to the cigars to seep them in ii propmoistcondition. hlo'z'eover the humidor i of substantially the thickness of the case, the the would not becrushed at the tom, Furthermore, in those cases where w. liuniidor is provided with one or more us, she some employed to keep the in: mid-or in iris proper position within the case iii. the some time enshle it to be withdrsiwn it is desired to int'ro'duce'mois restrict myself to the minor deof the humidor as would be made in to adopt it to the particular form of casowith which it is to be combined, in oil czisQ'S it is necessarily very narrow so as to snugly "lit within the case close to the wry 's thereof as not to interfere with the We; therefore, while I prefer the construethn shown, I do not limit myself to details thereof as these may be modified ut departing from the spirit of the in g now described new, and desire to secure by Let- ?otcni is:' poo-her cigi r oos: pcrmenently closed on the .itt-om, cmnbinwi wirh a humidor orre god in the botromihcreof and upon which curls the v us directly rest.

1 4,,A pocket cigar case formed of soft mo terizil combined with a humidor fitted within its interior and close to the bottom and having two arms of flat metal fitting close to the endsof the ease and acting to stifi'en it and prevent its being crushed.

5. A pocket cigar case of flexible material, closed at. the bottom, and provided with a detachable arrangci'nent wholly within the case, and resting on the bottom, and having an arm secured to one end of the humidor c0- opcrating with the side of the ease to hold the. humidor in position.

6. A removable humidor for a pocket cigar case, consisting of a moisture pad, rovided with an arm integral w th it cxten 111g therefrom at substantially rwht angles for the adjusting and removing o the humidor relative to "the case.

7. A removable humidor for a pocket cigar case consisting of a moisture carrying port provided with two arms respectively extending therefrom at opposite ends for 00- operating with the casev and for holding the hmnidor in position.

8. A humidor for a pocket cigar case consisting of a plate B having the bent-in sides I) combined with a moisture pad F held by the bent-in side arts, and spring arms extending from the and; of the plate B for holding it in position within the case.

9. A removable humidor for a cigar case consisting of-a long flat moisture carrying od provided with an arm extending therelrom at right angles to the length of the the materials constituting the wall or body of use of the. case as 'a carrier of cigars.

In testimony of which invention, I have hereunto set my hand.
