This invention relates to wooden boxes particularly designed for holding cigars, cigarettes, etc.
The object of the invention is to provide a box of extreme simplicity in construction, which is capable of being manufactured very rapidly, and which forms, nevertheless a strong'neat box suitable for the use for which it is intended.
The top, bottom and both sides of this box are made from a single slab of wood, rabbeted at each end to form shoulders for positioning the ends of thebox when the slab is folded thereover. 1'
Other objects of the inventioii'will appear as the detailed description thereof proceeds.

of another Figure 12 is an end elevation of the box shown in Figure 11.
Referring to the drawings:
The modification shown in Figures 1 to 5 comprises a top 1, a back 2, bottom 3 and front 4, formed of a single slab of wood, and end walls 5 and 6 separately formed to be secured to the said slab when properly folded to form a completed cigar box.
As shown in Figure 4:, the parts of the slab forming the back, bottom and front are rabbeted along each of their ends to a suitable depth and are adapted to receive and form seats for the ends 5 and 6. The top 1 is narrower than the other parts of the slab in order to seat between the ends 5 and 6 which project upwardly beyond the tops of the back and front sufliciently to lie flush with the said top 1 when the box is closed.
In forming the box the slab is firstlaid out according to the size of the box and is marked to indicate the position of the corners of the box. On the outside face of the slab strips 7 of tough paper of flexible cloth are pasted or otherwise secured below the position of the joints forming the corners of the box. Then miter grooves 8, 9 and 10 are run lengthwise of the slab down to the paper strips 7. When these miter grooves are formed and rabbets 11 are run in the ends of the slab the front 4, and back 2 may be folded up at right angles to the bottom 3, and the ends 5 and 6 may then be set in to the rabbets 11. The box as thus assembled may then have'the ends 5 and 6 secured to the front, back and bottom in any suitable manner as by nails 12 or by gluing strips of tough paper of flexible cloth over the corners formed between the ends and the other parts of the box. This completes the construction of the box and the lid 1 may be swung to and from closed position about the flexible strip of paper orcloth secured to the outer face of the slab below the miter joint 8.
It will be noted that the rear edges of the ends 5 and 6 are square and that the front edges thereof are provided with projectin lips 12 adapted to seat over the front 4 and lie flush with the free edge of the top 1. I
In the modification shown in Figures 6, 7,
8, 9 and 10, a single slab of wood of the same 10 width throughout is used to form the top 13, back 14, bottom v and front 16; and the ends 17 and 18 are made rectangular to fit into a recess formed by rabbets 19 and 20 run along the end edges of said slab. In forming this modification the joints between the top, bottom and sides of the box are laid out on the slab and strips 20 of tough paper or other flexible material are pasted on the outer face of said slab below the layout of i said joints.
- the most conveniently manufactured forms of the invention because the ends can be made absolutely rectangular without proj ectinglips of any kind; and these ends can be very readily set into the rabbets 19 and 20 when the box is folded up. into assembled relation. When the parts are thus assembled, the ends 17 and 18 may be readily secured by nails 26 or by strips, similar to strips 20" glued around the corners formed between said ends and the back and front of the box.
In the form of the invention just described, attention is directed to the fact that the various rabbets provide a construction adapted for the exclusion of air from the interior of the box at all the joints thereof. This construction, too, is also very strong because every part of every joint thereof is solidly supported by contact with all the other elements forming the parts of the box.
The final form of the invention is shown in Figures 11 and 12. This comprises a bottom 26, a back 27, front 28 and a top 29.
The back, front and bottom are made from a single slab of wood having the lengthwise joints between them formed as miters in the same manner as in the modifications previously described; and strips of tough paper or cloth 30 are used to form the hinges between the bottom, front and back.
In this last modification the top is made of a separate piece of material and is square at each of its ends. The ends 31 and 32 in this modification extend up beyond the front and back sufliciently to receive the top 29 between them and to lie flush with said top when the box is closed. Each of these ends is provided with lips 33 and 34 adapted to overlie the upper edges of the back and front of the box; and the ends are adapted to be nailed to the front, back and bottom, orto be otherwise suitably secured thereto.
Boxes constructed as described herein, can be manufactured with great rapidity, accu racy and neatness; the reinforcing strips and any fanciful or artistic labels can be more readily applied to the box when the slab is laid out with the parts in alinement, as it is obvious that the performance of these operations can be more readily effected on a slab than on a completed box.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:
A wooden box having the top, back, bottom and front thereof formed from an unsevered blank, the inner end edges of which are square rabbeted to form seats for the ends of said box, rectangular ends seated in said rabbeted seats, the inner top edge of the front of said box being square rabbeted and the front inner edge of said top being correspondingly rabbeted to make an air tight joint with the top edge of said front when the box is closed whereby when the top, back, bottom and front are folded into assembled relation the ends may be inserted into and removed from their 1iozllbbeted seats without disturbing the assem- In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
