To all whom 'it may concer/n:
Be it known that I, GEORGE N. WEBER, a citizen of the United States, residing in New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Im rovement in Sheet-Metal Pocket Tobaccooxes, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in sheet metal pocket tobacco boxes.
The object of my invention is to provide a sheet metal pocket tobacco box of a simple, efficient and durable construction, composed of few parts and capable of being cheaply manufactured, which will be of convenient shape for carrying in the ocket, which will be suitable for use not on y as a container for tobacco, but also as a cigar case after the tobacco has been used, and in which the cover will serve as a trough in which to lay the cigarette paper while the tobacco is being evenly distributed therein and the surplus tobacco conveniently returned into the box preparatory to rolling the cigarette, and in which the curved cover may be held securely closed.
My invention consists in the means herein shown and described for practically aecomplishing this object or result, the saine being more specifically set forth in the claims.
In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a front elevation of a sheet metal tobacco box embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a central, vertical longitudinal section on line 2-2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a cross section on line 3 3 of Fig. 1. Figfl is a detail plan view of a portion of the box front. Fig. 5 is a detail inside plan view of the cover flap looking` from the inside and F ig. 6 is an enlarged detail view of the rotary fastener device on the cover flap.
In the drawing, 1 represents the body olI my combined sheet metal tobacco container and cigar case, 2 the hinged cover thereof. The long, narrow thin body 1 has a curved or rounded bottom end 3, curved or rounded open end or mouth l, curved or rounded side edges 5, 5, a flat back wall 6 and a flat Specification of Letters Patent.

front wall 7. 'lhe body of the box is preferably in one integral piece, the curved bottom end 3 uniting the back wall 6 and front wall 7 and the curved meeting side edges of the back shell 6 and front shell 7 being secured together by interfolded or lock seams S. The front wall 7 of the box body is furnished with a depression or countersink 9 and with two fastener slits 10, one on each side thereof.
The curved cover 2 is connected by a hinge pin 11 which passes through hinge ears 12, 13 at the upper edge of the back body and the adjacent edge of the cover. The hinged cover 2 is curved to fit snugly the curved upper end 4 of the box body and close the same, and it is provided with an integral flap 14 which overlaps and snugly Yfits the flat front wall of the box body at the upper portion thereof. This flap 14 is provided with a pivot hole 15 to receive the rotary fastener 16 by which the cover is held closed. The rotary fastener 16 is preferably circular in shape and is stamped u of sheet metal and provided with a knul-le rim 17 and two integral pivot and fastener tongues or lips 1S Which are inserted through the pivot hole 15 of the cover fia 14, and then turned at right angles or clenc ed down so that these right angle projecting lips 1S, when the rotary fastener is given a quarter turn, will project through the fastenerl slits 10 in the front wall of the box body.
