Description
J. A. SIEBERT CIGARETTE PACKAGE HOLDER Oct. 13, 1936.
Original Filed Oct. 3, 1930 INVENTORI JOHN A. SIEBERT. BY 2 MEMORAN DA ATTORNEY.
Patented Oct. 13, 1936 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE CIGARETTE PACKAGE HOLDER John A. Siebert, San Francisco, Calif., assignor to Dalmo Manufacturing 00., San Francisco, Calif., a corporation of California 2 Claims.
This invention relates to improvements in cigarette package holders, and more particularly to holders adapted to enclose the conventional package of manufactured cigarettes.
The principal object of the invention is to prevent the loss of tobacco from the ends of the cigarettes, after the package is opened.
Another object is to prevent the distortion and wear on the package, while being carried in the pocket of the user, and while the contents are being removed therefrom.
Another object is to provide a simple, light, handy and sightly device for the purpose.
Other objects and advantages will appear as the description progresses.
In this specification and the accompanying drawing the invention is disclosed in its preferred form. But it is to be understood that it is not limited to this form because it may be embodied in other forms. It is also to be understood that in and by the claims following the description it is desired to cover the invention in whatsoever form it may be embodied.
In the one sheet of drawing:
Fig. lis a perspective view of a package of cigarettes in the dispensing position, partly with drawn from a holder constructed in accordance with this invention.
Fig. 2 is a similar view of the holder.
Fig. 3 is a bottom view of the package, as arranged for memoranda.
In detail the construction illustrated in the drawing comprises an integral strip of material bent into a loop with its ends I-2 overlapping to strengthen the bottom. The ends 3-4 and the top 5 can be embellished with decorative effects such as 6. The back portion may be arranged for golf scores or other memoranda, as suggested in Fig. 3.
The device operates substantially as follows: The cigarette package I is inserted into the loop 8, for about two-thirds of its width. The finger nail can then be run along the edge 9 of the loop to sever the top of the package 1, between two cigarettes, which can be easily located by feeling the package. After severing the top in this manner, the protruding portion ll] of the package I, is firmly grasped in one hand and bent sharply back against the lower edge ll of the package, which is firmly held in the other hand. This tears the ends |2l3 of the package, exposing the cigarettes longitudinally, so that they may be easily grasped and withdrawn from the package laterally.
To close the package it is grasped with the thumband second finger at l2 and. I3 respectively, with the forefinger pressing down at It. This compresses the exposed portion of the package so that it will follow the package 7 easily into the loop when lateral pressure is applied on the exposed portion of the package.
The width of the device should be slightly less than the width of the package I, and should fit the package snugly from end to end, to exert the required friction to keep the package in place.
The package is reopened by reversing the motions of closing, by pressing late-rally on the package I to push the portion Ill past the edge 9, so that the outer portion can swing downward on the unsevered portion M which acts as a longitudinal hinge.
The device is preferably composed of stiff sheet material such as vulcanized rubber, bakelite, celluloid, artificial ivory, and similar compositions, known to the trade as Pyrolin and other trade names. This material is preferred because it is light, strong and durable, and does not wear the pocket of the user. Sheet metal, fiberboard, and the like, are equally available in fabricating this device to suit the preferences of the consumer, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
The device can be printed in simulation of the appearance of any popular brand of cigarette package, or carry advertising matter of any kind, or be ornamented in any suitable manner.
Having thus described this invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. An article of manufacture comprising a hollow holder of stiff material of substantially the length, width and thickness of a conventional cigarette package and consisting of back, front and ends and open at both sides and adapted to encircle and cover the severed edges of a cigarette package split longitudinally of the cigarettes contained therein.
2. An article of manufacture comprising a band of stiff material having its ends overlapped and fixed together to form a hollow holder of substantially the length, Width and thickness of a conventional cigarette package consisting of back. front, and ends and open at both sides and adapted to slidably engage and cover the severed edges of a cigarette package split longitudinally of the cigarettes contained therein.
, JOHN A. SIEBERT.
