ARTHUR F. HETHEBINGTON, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
CIGARETTE-PACKAGE.
Application filed February 1, 1913.
To all whom it may concern.
Be it known that I, ARTHUR F. HETHER- INGTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city, county of New York, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cigarette-Packages, fully described and represented in the following specification and the accompanying drawings, forming a part of the same- This invention relates to certain improvements in packages for cigarettes, either of the paper covered variety, or the so-called all-tobacco cigarette, which consist of a filler of loose shreds of tobacco inclosed by a binder either of paper or tobacco leaf. This type of cigarettes now generally sold to consumers are packed in boxes containing from ten to one hundred cigarettes. recording to the character of the filler of this type of cigarette, a jarring of the package such as is especially occasioned by carrying it in a pocket, causes the filler to be disintegrated and drop out of the inclosing tube, either of paper or tobacco, this being especially the case where the number of cigarettes in the package have been reduced through consumption and where the cigarettes have become somewhat dry. Thus, it frequently happens that when'the package has been opened and some of the cigarettes used, the remaining cigarettes will be so jostled about in the box as to lose a considerable portion of their contents of filler tobacco, in many instances to such an extent as to render the cigarette unfit for consumption. Furthermore with cigarettes packaged as now generally sold to the consumer, it is frequently very dii'iicult to extract the first cigarette from the box.
It is the especial object of the present invention to provide an improved filler or interliner for packages intended to hold cigarettes of the types referred to by the use of which the cigarettes may be firmly held irrespective of the number which are removed from the package, and whereby loss of filler tobacco shall be, to a great degree, obviated and the cigarettes kept in usable condition.
It is another object of the invention to provide filler mechanism of such construction that the cigarettes may be readily abstracted from the package.
With these and other objects in view, a de- Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 4, 1915.
Serial No. 745,571.
tailed description of the improved package will now be given in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a cross section of a pocket cig arette package showing the improved filler in position, the package shown containing ten cigarettes arranged in five-rows two cigarettes deep; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1, showing the side view of the filler and the means en1- ployed for permitting the ready abstraction of a cigarette, and Fig. 3 is a view of the filler of the form shown in Fig, 1 removed from the box, this filler being adapted to hold ten cigarettes arranged in five-rows, two cigarettes deep.
Referring now to these drawings, 1 indicates an ordinary pocket cigarette package composed of stiff paste board which is divided as at- 2 to form a cover hinged as at 3 by a piece of paper or other suitable hinge. The particular package shown in Fig. 1 is of the usual pocket type adapted to hold ten ci arettes, though it will be understood that the invention is not limited to the package herein shown, but may be used with packages holding any number of cigarettes. VVithin the package 1 is located the improved filler or inter-liner for firmly holding the cigarettes and preventing the displacement of the filler material. The preferred form of this interliner is shown in Fig. 3 and is there indicated generally at 5. The particular interliner shown is capacitated to hold ten cigarettes arranged in five-rows of two superposed cigarettes each. It will be understood, however, that the interliner may be proportioned to hold any desired number of superposed cigarettes. The interliner may be made of any suitable material which may be conveniently bent or formed into the shape shown, to wit, having a plurality of troughs 5, with interposed walls or partitions 6 therebetween. rial is heavy waxed paper, which may be readily given the desired form. The troughs 5 are, as shown, substantially the width of a cigarette and extend substantially the length of the cigarette, the interliner fitting snugly in the package, as shown in Fig. 2. The walls or partitions 6 are likewise formed substantially of the height of the number of cigarettes which it is desired to hold in each trough, as illustrated in Fig. 1, so that the A convenient matevarious rows of superposed cigarettes will be held firmly in position. An interliner thus formed with the walls of the trough substantially the height of the stack of cigarettes to be held and substantially the length of such cigarettes, firmly holds the cigarettes in position throughout their length, thereby effectually preventing the loss of filler tobacco by falling out of the cigarette tubes. Furthermore, when one stack of cigarettes is used, the remaining stacks are unaffected by such use, and are firmly held in their positions in the package.
In order to enable the cigarettes to be readily removed from the package, the partition (5 of the filler may be provided with apertures 7 formed in the walls or partitions, these apertures extending downwardly a sufiicient distance to enable the lowermost cigarette of the stack to be readily grasped, these apertures being provided preferably in each of the partitions of the filler. A very eitl'ective and exceedingly inexpensive pack age is thus produced, and one which has decided advantages ovathe packages now in general use, in that waste of tobacco and waste of cigarettes is prevented, and the Copies of this patent may be obtained for cigarettes can be very readily abstracted from the package.
hat is claimed is 1- A package for cigarettes comprising a box body capacitated to hold a plurality of superposed layers of cigarettes, a cover, and an interliner fitted snugly in the box and composed of a single piece of flexible material formed to provide a plurality of troughs substantially the width of the cigarette with partitions between, the walls of the troughs extending substantially the length of the cigarettes and being of a height substantially that of the cigarettes placed therein, the walls of said troughs between the superposed cigarettes being provided with cut outportions extending to substantially the bottom of the trough, permitting the cigarettes to be readily removed therefrom.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
