TOBACCO-PACKAGE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
' Patented June 9, 1908.
Application filed November 25, 1907. Serial No. 403,824.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, JOHN W. SURBRUG, a citizen of the United States, residing at Montclair, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Tobacco-Packages, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a package for containing tobacco the essential feature of which is a sponge cup adapted to frictionally engage the inner wall of the package, and will be understood by reference to the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is a central vertical section, and Fig. 2 a top view with the permanent cover removed.
Similar reference numerals indicate similar parts in the several views.
Referring to the drawings the numeral 1 designates an ordinary can or jar of suitable size, shown as cylindrical in shape, but it may be square or rectangular, and adapted to contain a mass of tobacco 2. This package as manufactured and sold may have a suitable cover or lid 3 of any usual form. In a package of the kind described no provision has heretofore been made for keeping the tobacco moist and it soon becomes dry and loses its flavor. With discriminating smokers this is a serious matter and to provide a proper means for kee ing the tobacco moist I have devised a be l-shaped sponge container or cup of substantially the internal diameter of the package. In construction this cup has a dome-shaped portion 4 and the edge is curled or bent upwardly at 5 to present a more or less resilient surface ada ted to bear against the inner wall of the pac age to thereby hold the cup in any desired position. In the dome of the cup is a sponge 6 held therein by any suitable means as a spring 7. This spring is properly bent to receive the sponge and hold it in position in its seat, one end thereof being secured to the under side of the cup preferably on the stud to which is secured a suitable handle 8 ,by which the cup may be removed from or inserted into the package.
The cup above described may be utilized as a closure for the can or jar. Although I have shown it as resting upon the mass of tobacco this is not necessary as, being of substantially the diameter of the package, it frictionally engages the wall thereof and may be adjusted and held therein in any desired position. This provides a practically airtight closure and by reason of the water saturated sponge the tobacco will be kept in a properly moistened condition.
The shape of the cup may be varied without departing from the invention, the essential feature being that it shall be unattached to the package and, if of the same diameter, shall be held in frictional contact with the wall. I have, therefore, shown the edge of the bell-shaped cup curled or bent as described in order to provide a proper bearing surface for the cup.
What I claim and desire to secure by LettersPatent of the United States is 1. A package of the character described having a sponge cup of substantially the interior diameter of the package and adapted to be held therein by frictional contact with the wall of the package.
2. A package of the character described having a sponge cup the edge of which is curled or bent over to provide a surface adapted to bear against the wall of the package and be held therein by frictional contact with said wall.
3. A package of the character described having a bell-shaped cup, a spring secured on the interior of said cup, a sponge adapted to beheld by said spring, said cup having its edge curled or bent over to provide a surface adapted'to bear against the wall of the pack age and be held therein by frictional contact with said wall.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
JOHN W. SURBRUG.
