To 'all whom t may concern.'
Bev it known-that I, HENRY LEIMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Tampa, in the county of Hillsboro and State of Florida, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Collapsible. Cigar- Boxes; and I do hereby declare the followling to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to knock down-or collapsible cigar boxes.
The invention consists in providing an outside boxor carton of paper, or other similar suitable material, and an inside liner of woodwhich is disconnected from the outside paper box but designed to be readily inserted into position and held in place by the 'outside paper container Among the objects of the invention are the saving, of car room in shipping empty boxes factory to the cigar factory and the lessening of the cost of manufactur- 'ing the boxes without in any way detracting from the appearance of the box or-its utilities.
In the accompanying drawings: Figure l is a plan View of a paper blank for a box which constitutes the outside of the cigar box. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the paper box folded in position and` showing the wooden cover of the box secured to the paper cover or lid. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the .parts of the wooden box before the same are assembled and placed in position within the body of the paper box. Fig. 4 is a perspective View of the completed box with the wood liner in position and partly broken away at onecorner to show the outside paper and one corner fold thereof. Fig. 5 is an end view of the paper box in a partly folded condition. Fig. 6 is an end Vview showing the paper carton and wooden liner pieces for shipment. Fig. 7 is a perspective view of a modified form of the box showing the wooden lid disconnected from the pasteboard cover. Fig. 8 is a transverse sect-ion through the modified form of box and showing the wooden lid about to be placed in position and the attaching flap ready to be inserted 4between the outside paper carton and the wooden liner; and Fig. 9 is a vertical transverse section through the modified form of box with the wooden lid and at` improvements in Without the use of in a completely folded condition ready' taching iap in position when the box is in a completely closed condition.
`In my long experience'as a manufacturer of cigar boxes I have found that a great deal of car space is lost in shipping empty cigar boxes from the box factory to the cigar factory and also that the operation of assemvbling the parts of'the wooden boxes and either gluing or nailing the same together to form a box and applying securing strips along the same is a more or less expensive operation. The trade demands that cedar wood be'employed in the. construction of cigar boxes as it is considered of great benefit to the cigars as it imparts a flavor that cannot be supplied in any other way except by housing the cigars. My invention meets this requirement of the tobacco trade and at the same time does away with the difficult problem of transportation besides being less expensive to manufacture than is the ordi' nary box in use at the present time, inasmuch as all lithographing work may be done on the paper box or carton before itis put together, thereby causing a great saving over the present method of pasting the different lithographed pieces on the nailed up box, which requires expert hand workers.
1 in the drawings represents a paper carton or box which is preferably made from a single piece of material as shown in Fig; l. which is scored and folded into a box or carton as shown in Fig. Q. The ends 2 of the carton are preferably secured tothe sides of the carton as shown in Fig. The ends of the carton are also scored at. 3 3 as lshown in Figs. l and for the purpose of permitting the ends of the carton to be folded inwardly upon the body of the carton as shown in Fig. 5. By this means` 'together with the scoring at the j u1u-ture of the sidesl and endswith the bottom of the carton the carton may be folded into a very compact condition together with the wooden liner ready for transportation as shown in Fig.
To the cover 4 of the paper cartonis preferably pasted the wooden cover 5 of the. box orliner. This cover 5. as are the rest of the pieces of wood ronstituting the liner or wooden-box, is constructed of wood and preferably cedar wood for the reasons heretofore set forth. By permanently securing the wooden cover 5 to the paper lid or cover ed. A gummed extension or flap G is pro vided which projects from the front edge of the paper cover and when the lid or cover is down the' flap 6 is secured in position to the body of the box by inserting it 5 between the front side of the paperbox and the front side of the wooden liner and pasting it to the inside face of said front paper side. i The corners of the paper carton as well as the `edges thereof. may be strengthened by having strips of pa pern pasted on the same as in the' case of an ordinary cigar box. Furthermore, the paper carton may be lithographed and printed in exact imitation of an ordinary Wooden cedar cigar box so as-to give it'every appearance on lthe outside. of being a cedar cigar box having the usual wording and decoration.
In order to l.give rigidity to the outside,
paper carton 1 and at the same time secure a cedar lining to the box I provide side and end pieces -7 and a bott-om piece 8 as Shownin nFigtgwllich vravre designed to be slipped into position in the sde'plaper carton 1, as shown in Fig. 4. I preferably bevel the vertical edges'of t'he side and end pieces 7 so that when they are slipped into position they will be securely held in place Without the necessity of gluing or nailingl The outside aper carton is made of stiff cardboard an being reinforced at the corners enables the pieces 7 to be snugly fitted in positionand -held from moving outWardly,/and the beveled edges prevent the Wooden piece from moving inwardly, so
thata strong, permanent cedar box or liningwithin an outside paper carton is eec'ured having all the advantages of an ordinary cedar cigar box with the added advan- 40. tages of being cheaperto construct and the ability to ship a much greater quantity of the same in a knocked down condition than is possible with ordinary cigar boxes in a built up condition.
In operation the cartons are received at the cigar factory either in a folded condition as shown in Fig. 6 or in a flat condition as shown in Fig. 1 with the cedar pieces 7 and 8 in an unassembled condition. Op-
eratives take the paper blanks and fold them into a carton, as shown in Fig. 2, and then quick] insert the cedar bottom 8 and then `the si( es and ends 7 andthe box is then in a condition to be filled with cigars. After the box is filled the lid or cover is brought down and flap 6 pasted to the inside of the front edge of the paper box. If desired nails may be passed through the combined paper and 'wood cover or lid into thewoodcn sides and ends 7 as additional securing means.
In Figs. 7, 8 and 9 I have shown a modilied form of the box, the only difference beingthat the wooden lid or cover 5 is not at tached to the paper cover i but is made separate therefrom and is placed in position on top of the wooden sides'and ends after the box-is made up and the cigars placedin position within the box. The paper cover-is then brought downand secured in position as heretofore described.
Having now described my inventin what,
I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: i
l. A collapsiblecigar box comprising an inflexible bottom, inflexible side and end pieces initered at their; corners and resting upon the bottom, av paper carton embracing the inflexible members and' maintaining such' members removably in association, said'carton having edges extending above thefedgesfvv of the side and end pieces and producinga 1 rabbet, and a cover member proportioned` to be disposed upon the side and-end 'pieces Within the rabbet. i 'i 2. A collapsible cigar box comprising a. carton composed of flexible material embodying a bottom, sides andend, pieces, some of said members being scored'topermit the side and end pieces to fold inwardly, an inflexible vbottom member proportioned to be disposed within the carton, inflexible side and end members having mitered engaging cornersproportioned to be removably inserted Within the carton and rest on the inflexible bottom and 'to maintain the carton in distended condition and to be maintained in relation by thel surrounding carton, an inflexible cover member proportioned to rest on the top edges of the side and end inflexible pieces, and a `cover section hinged to the carton adapted to maintain the inflexible cover portion in such as' sociation.
3. A receptacle comprising bottom, inflexible side and end mitered at their corners and resting on the bottom, a carton composed of flexible material embracing the inflexible members and maintaining such members removably in mitered relation and being maintained in extended position by such side and end members, said carton having edges extending above the edges of the side and end pieces and producing a rabbet, an inflexible cover member proportioned to be disposed upon the side and end pieces within the rabbet, and a cover carton portion flexibly connected with the sides ofthe cartonand inclosing the inflexible cover member.`
In testimony whereof I affix my Signat-ure in presence of two `Witnesses.
