Patented July 6, 1943 CIGARETTE ROLLING FORM Arthur H. Hood, .ln, Philadelphia, Pa., assignor to Max N. Carol, as trustee Application March 17, 1942, .Serial No. 434,997
2 Claims. (01. 131-58) This invention relates to cigarette rollin forms.
Various metal and other devices have been made and sold to assist an individual in rolling or forming his own cigarettes, using a special paper wrapper, sold for the purpose. Such devices are comparatively expensive and are not handy to carry around for use, when needed.
It is therefore one of the objects of my invention to provide a simple cigarette rolling form, that can easily be carried in ones pocket, having the said form made of suitable, semi-stiff,
sheet material, which is preferably somewhat elastic and which can be easily bent to the same radius of curvature as that of a cigarette, without cracking at its curved outer surface.
Another object is to provide a sheet, cigarette rolling form, which, while fulfilling the above named object, will be preferably narrower than a regular size of cigarette paper wrapper, so that when rolling a cigarette Within the form, a longitudinal edge of the wrapper, can come next to and outside of the outer longitudinal edge of the form, when said form is rolled, exposing said longitudinal Wrapper edge.
A further object is to have one or both ends of said form tapered, and at the same time have the form a little longer, from end to end, than the length of the cigarette wrapper, so that when a cigarette is rolled within the form, and is still coiled about the formed cigarette, there will be a greater exposure of the cigarette wrapper where the inclined edge of the tapered end of the form recedes from the edge of the wrapper, enabling the one rolling the cigarette, to contact a greater area of the cigarette and thus get a better frictional hold thereon, to withdraw the same from the still coiled form. The tapered end of the coiled form, extending beyond the cigarette Within, becomes stiff, when curved, so that when the formed cigarette is gripped, the stiff, curved, blunt, point of the tapered end of the form, will resist flat crushing of the cigarette end when it i gripped.
With these and other objects, which will hereinafter appear, my invention resides in certain construction of a guiding sheet form adapted for rolling a cigarette, one embodiment of which form is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, its construction is described, its use is explained, and what I claim is set forth.
In the drawing,
Figure l is a plan of an ordinary cigarette paper wrapper.
Figure'2 is a plan of the cigarette rolling form embodying my invention.
Figure 3 is a top plan of the said form having the cigarette wrapper superimposed, in initial position thereon.
Figure 4 is an edge view of the cigarette paper wrapper as laid upon a curved rolling form.
Figure 5 is a perspective view of the cigarette wrapper and accompanying form, held in trough formation, with tobacco laid therein.
Figure 6 is a top plan of the formed cigarette coiled within the form.
Figure 7 is an enlarged end View of the cigarette, within the coiled form as shown in Figure 6.
In the figures, I0 is the cigarette rolling form, preferably made of suitable elastic and semi-stiff, sheet paper material of a thicknes that can easily be coiled, without cracking at the convex surface. The form I 0 is shown to have a lon base line or upper edge II, and tapered ends I2 and I3. As shown in Figure 2, the tapered ends I2 and I3 each terminates in a short line 22, substantially parallel to the base line I I, so that the tapered ends are preferably blunt and of a width adapting either end to afford a curved support to the contacting end of the cigarette, while this end is exposed above to be gripped. No particular outlined formation of the side lines I5 and I6, of the tapered ends is required. Any formation of tapered end, other than that shown in full lines can be used, if the shape thereof, when rolling a cigarette, leaves exposed a definite area, at an adjoining end of the rolled-in cigarette wrapper I1, as at I8 or I9, for a practical, frictional grip, when one is about to withdraw the cigarette from the coiled form. As shown, the inclined or sloping lines I5 and I 6, of the tapered ends l2 and I3, respectively, merge into the short line 22, which preferably i approximately parallel with the base line II. While only one tapered end of the form is needed at a time, the taperin of both ends affords a choice of ends, when the form is used.
In operation, the user takes a cigarette paper wrapper, as H, which is shown to have a gummed edge 23, although a wrapper without a gummed edge may be used, and places the Wrapper I'I upon the form l0, and in the case of one with a gummed edge 23, this edge is held uppermost and relatively positioned upon the form Iii, as shown in Figure 3, with the long edge II, of the form I9, spaced below the gummed edge 23, of the wrapper I1. Next, he holds these pieces horizontal, with the wrapper on top of the form,
and with the short edge 22, toward him, then while still holding the pieces horizontal, he distributes tobacco 24, along the mid-line, of the wrapper I1, and turns up the sides to form a trough 29, as shown in Figure 5, with the tobacco 24 in the bottom of the trough with the form in on the outside and the wrapper ll between the tobzacco 24 and the form I0. He then slightly rolls the trough portion, of the form l between the fingers and thumbs, to better consolidate th tobacco into a denser cylinder, after which, he turns the wrapper portion, which is next to the short edge 22, away from him and down upon the tobacco 24, and rolls it and the edge '22 in, and continues the rolling until he brings the gummed surface 23 (when a gummed edged wrapper is used) down toward himself, on top of the coiled form [0, as shown in Figure 6. After this is done, while still holding the form In in coiled formation, he slightly releases his grip on the coil, and with one hand holding the coil, he places a finger or thumb, (of the other hand), on one end of the formed cigarette, as at 18, and taking hold, pulls the cigarette partly out of the coiled form if) to some such position as shown by the dotted outline 26, and before pulling the cigarette out further, he moistens the end of the gummed edge 23, or a similar end of an ungu'mmed wrapper, and sticks it down onto the body of the wrapper ll, then pulls the cigarette free from the form [0, after which he further moistens and finishes the sticking down of the edge 23 and, after fully withdrawing the formed cigarette, he, while holding the same rolled, moistens the full length of the edge 23 and sticks it all down from end to end, of the cigarette.
After thus forming the cigarette, any projecting tobacco can be cut oil by shears, close to the rolled Wrapper ends.
By initially curving the form l0, as shown in Figure 4, the rolling operation, in making the first cigarette, is facilitated, however, after the first few cigarettes are made with form [0, it becomes permanently curved a little. The form II] is preferably made from some suitable sheet material, as paper or some other stock that is somewhat elastic, so that when not held coiled, it will return to a slightly curved formation.
While I have shown and described one embodiment of my invention, modifications thereof can be made without departing from the spirit of my invention. I therefore wish to include all forms which come within the scope of the following claims.
I claim:
1. A form adapted for rolling a cigarette, said form consisting of a sheet body made of semistiff, elastic rollable material, and a tapered end to said body, adapted, when holding a cigarette, its wrapper and tobacco rolled within said form, to expose part of a wrapper end of said cigarette for withdrawal purposes.
2. A sheet form adapted for rolling a cigarette wrapper around a line of tobacco contained thereon, said form having a tapered end, said form being a little longer than said Wrapper, thereby afiording curved and strengthening support to the rolled-in cigarette end adjoining the tapered end of said form, and at the same time,
the sloping, rolled edge of the tapered end receding from the end of the rolled-in wrapper, exposing part of said wrapper end for gripping and withdrawal purposes,
