SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 427,176, dated May 6, 1890.
Application filed February 29, 1888. Serial No. 265,735. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, FRANCIS S. KINNEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pequanac, county of Morris, and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oigarettes,,fully described and represented in the following specification and the accompanying drawings, forming a part of the same.
This invention relates to the manufacture of cigarettes, and particularly that class of cigarettes which are provided with wrappers made of paper or similar material.
In such cigarettes as heretofore formed the wrapper has been folded around the tobacco and its edges overlapped and secured by pasting or otherwise, so as to form a smooth tube inclosing the tobacco. In some cases the tobacco has been introduced into the tube after it was formed; but the more common method has been to form the tube around the tobacco. There are certain objections which are inherent in the cigarettes having wrappers formed in this manner, the principal of which is due to the fact that it is found difficult and sometimes impossible, particularly when the cigarettes are manufacturedby machinery, to draw and secure the wrapper around the tobacco with sufficient tension to make the cigarette as solid as it is desirable it should be.
The present invention aims to cure this defect; and tothat end the invention consists in forming and uniting the edges of the wrapper in the peculiar mannerwhich will now be described, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is an enlarged perspective View of a cigarette having its wrapper formed according to the present invention. Fig. 2 is a crosssection of the cigarette. Fig. 3 is a plan View, and Fig. 4 a cross-section, showing ways of securing the wrapper.
Referring to said figures, it is to be understood that CL represents the tobacco of the cigarette, and Z) the wrapper, which is made of paper or any of the usual materials. The edges 2 of the wrapper, instead of being overlapped and secured together, so as to form a smooth tube around the tobacco, are bent outward andbrought together, so as to form a slightly-projecting rib along the length of the cigarette, as shown. The edges 2, when in this position, are secured together in any suitable Way, as by pasting or by indenting or perforating, so as to cause the material of the two edges to interlock. This may be effected by indenting and puncturing the material, as shown at 1 in Fig. 3, or by longitudinal indentations, as shown in Fig. 4c, or both.
Where the edges of the wrapper are overlapped upon the tobacco in the common way, it is difficult,if not impossible, to Wrap the tobacco as snugly as is desirable, and this is es peci ally the case when the cigarettes are made by machinery, because no means is afforded for grasping the edges of the wrapper to draw it around the tobacco. By folding the wrap per so as to cause the edges 2'to project outward this difficulty is overcome, because the outwardly-projecting edges afford means for grasping the wrapper and drawing it around the tobacco with the necessary tension to make the cigarette as solid and firm as may be desired.
The projecting rib formed by the edges 2 does not, even if allowed to remain in the position shown, cause any particular objection to the cigarette; but, if in any case it should be thought bestto do so, the rib thus formed can be folded down onto the body of the cigarette.
What I claim is- 1. A cigarette having the edges 2 of its wrapper turned outward and secured together, substantially as described.
2. A cigarette having the edges 2 of its wrapper turned outward and secured together by indenting and interlocking the material, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. I
, FRANCIS S. KINNEY. Witnesses:
