HENRY LEIMAN, OF TLAMPA, FLORIDA.
CIGAR-BOX.
Application filed .ianuar 25, 1919. serial No. 273,115.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it, known that I, HENRY LEIMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at T ampa, in thejcoun'ty of Hillsborough and State of Florida, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cigar-Boxes; and I do-hereby declare the following. to be a full,clear, and exact description of'the -invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same.
' This invention-relates to boxes and more particularly to cigar boxes.
Owing to the'present relative high cost of box wood of various character utilized in the manufacture ofboxes, and especially cedar of which cigar boxes are usually'made, 1t 1s an object of the present invention tOPI'O'Vld a box and amethod of manufacturing the '20 same whereby the amount of this wood generally utilized in the construction of thebox. may bevery materially reduced and there. fore enable the production of boxes of the character at a greatly reduced expense over boxes made entirely of wood. A -further object of the present invention'is to provide a box and a method of making the same,
which while there may be a'small amount of wood utilized in this construction yet will have the general appearance of a box made entirely of wood. further object of the invention is to provide a cigar box made partly of wood and partly of some other nexpensive but. durable and light material and at the same time to provide a box of the requisite rigidity and strength of wooden cigar boxes, andin' which'box the .elements are substantially secured wlthout the requirement of'nails and thereby eliminating 0 the cost of the material andobviating labor and time'required in nailing.-
. With these and other object'sjin view aswill be readily manifested to those versed in the art, the .invention consists of the con 15 struction, combination, and in details and arrangement of then-parts as more part1cu' larly describedhereinafter in the specification relative tos'the embodiment of theinvention illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective View of the completed box with a suitable lid'or cover.
Fig. 2 is a plan view ofthe back of the main body forming a part or sheet.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the toldable sheet with its applied inner layers and side lines 7-7 and endlines bottom lining. The parts are shownin partly assembled relation.
In the embodiment of my invention, and in which'I prefer to practice it, the box of the usual proportion of a cigar box shown at A in Fig. 2 is built up by the following'method and consists of the elements particularly described and which includes a,
surface Fig. 2 to enable the folding. of the sides and ends readily to a perpendicular position so that the end edges of the ele ments 4-4 and 5-5 come into contiguous 'IBlltlOIl. To secure the desired characteris- Spocmcation o1 Letters Patent. Patented J an, 11, 1921 i tics inherent in a cedar cigar box,=I attach adhesively, or" otherwise, to the inside surface of the sides 4-4 as shown in Fig. 3 inside layers 10 ;10 of slightly lessdepth than the sides L-t-so that .when these'layers are turned to\ a vertical position the bottom edges of the layers 10-10 will overlap and clench' upona wooden sheet 11 lining the bottom of the box; this lining bottom llbeing adhesively or otherwise secured tothe bottom area 3 of the box Lbody. In-other words the side layers are rabbeted with respect to'the side lines '-7 on the inner' bases ofthe sides 4-4 a dlstance sufiicient to receive the edges of the wooden lining bottom I ll whenthe layers 10-10. are erected to perpendicular position.
A further and important feature of this invention resides in means for defining the erected portionof the sides 4-4 with-the liners 10-10 and a simple and very expedient form of defining means comprises inner, end flaps or layers 12-12 formed on [the ends 5-5 at their outertran'svers'e edges which are formed by scoring the stock on the lines 13-13 on the bottom of, the stock so thatthe flaps or layers 12-12 can be respectively folded over the inner faces of the ends 5-5 and adhesively or otherwise secured thereto. These end flaps 12 are clearly shown as of less depth than the ends 5, or in other words rabbeted as at 14-- from the fold line-13 so as to provide in a manner similar to .the rabbeted edges of the layer 10-10 forthe reception of the end edges of the wooden bottom lining 11-1 1. Also the end edges 15-15 of each flap or layer 12 are rabbeted from the end edges of the ends 5-5 this rabbeting being in depth substantially equal to the thickness of the wooden position 10-10 they abut against the stops formed by the edges of the layers 12 and an accurate end or joint produced and the desired internal dimensions of the box readily secured. In other words the-projecting of the ends 5 are substantially equal in area to the area of the ends 10 and these meeting surfaces may, if desired, be permanently secured by suitable means as adhesively, for instance, or otherwise.
It will be noted that the ends 5 are of a greater depth than the sides 4 and that the outer corners 16 of the inner layers 12 are of equal length to the length of layers 5 so that the corners 16 of the layers 12 overhang the layers 10 when the sides and ends are erected, This provides for upwardly projecting marginal portion 17 at the ends of the box with the top edges of which the cover 0 of the box lies in a common plane when the cover is closed and seals in the longitudinal top edges of the composite sides 4.--10.
While I have expressed a preference for the use of wood in the bottom lining 11 and the side layers 10-10 obviously other suitable material may be utilized, and in the completed box all of the exposed surface of the elements which are not of wood are finished to represent wood, as for instance by the application of a surface of paper by suitable means having surface representing the grain and color of wood as indicated in Fig. 1 at 18. That surface of the completed box which shows the natural wood obviously is not treated with a representative finish.
As the foldable elements are brought into the erect or assembled position to form the box the elements may be permanently sccured by any suitable material but for the purpose-of reducing the cost of material and labor incident to the usual method of nail ing the box elements, I prefer to stay the corners of the box by applying to the same binding strips or other suitable material 19, which may be adhesively or otherwise applied and folded around the corners; this staying and binding material, if desired, being provided with any suitable ornamental or descriptive matter for advertising purposes.
From the above it will be seen that I have provided a method whereby a box of the desired strength, rigidity, durability and utilitymay be readily produced in quantities with the use of a small or'no amount'of wood and yet may be made to closely represent a wooden box in all respects.
I claim: I
1. A cigar or other box comprising a body portion consisting of an integral sheet including the bottom, ends and sides .of the layers; means for securing the ends and the sidestogether in erected position, and a bottom layer secured in position by the lower edges of the layers which overlie the margins of said bottom layer.
2. A cigar or other box comprising a body forming a part consisting of an integral sheet including the bottom, the ends and the sides of thebox; side layers affixed to the inner faces of the body sides; means on the ends for delimiting the position of the erected sides; and means for securing the ends and sides together in perpendicular position; the said delimiting means comprising inner layers on and rabbeted from the end edges of the boxv ends a distance about equal to the thickness of the side layers so that the latter abut the rabbeted edges, the box ends with their inner layers being of a greater depth than the side elements, and the inner layers of the ends-being of equal length at their top edges to the ends to overhang the sides.
3. A cruciform blank adapted to be folded into a box, said blank having scores to outline the bottom portion, projecting side and end portions outside of the scores, adapted to be erected to form the sides and ends ,of'
the box, the end portions being more than twice the height of the side-portions,- a score biseoting each of said end portions',"each end portion being reduced in width for a distance from its ends equal to the height of the side portions, and bya distance equal to the thickness of the side portions.-
1. A cigar or other box comprising a body forming a part consisting of an integral sheet including the bottom, the ends and the sides of the box; side layers affixed to the inner faces of the body sides; means on the ends for delimiting the position of the erected sides; and means for securing the ends and the sides together in perpendicular position, and a bottom inner lining overlapped by, the bottom edges of the side layers, the bottom being of a thin sheet of wood.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
HENRY LEIMAN.
