papers, preferably in the form of a continuous roll so that the use of cigarette
papers in book form as now used may be dispensed with.

of the box preferably in juxta-position to the hinge of the box lid, I provide a
receptacle for containing a roll of suitable cigarette paper having suitable apertures
therein for the insertion of the roll & for withdrawing or pushing back the paper
when being used. When a strip of paper is required, by a forward pressure of
the finger upon the paper exposed through the aperture, the roll will uncoil and
the paper protrude through a passage in the side of or some such other suitable
part of the box, specially provided for this purpose, and the desired strip or piece
of paper may then be severed from the roll inside the receptacle. The aperture
through which the roll is placed in the receptacle is provided with a suitable lid or

Lereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to

statement :-
This invention has for its object the combination of a receptacle for matches
and other articles with a suitable division or compartment for the reception of
cigarette papers, preferably in the form of a continuous roll, so that the use of
cigarette papers in book form as now used, may be dispensed with.
In carrying out this invention I construct a rectangular or other shaped
receptacle or box for matches etc., with a hinged or other lid and as a suitable
part of the box, preferably in juxta position to the hinge or the box lid 1 provide
a receptacle for containing a roll of suitable cigarette paper, having suitable
apertures therein for the insertion of the roll and for withdrawing or pushing back
the paper when being used.

paper exposed through the aperture, the roll will uncoil and the paper protrude
through a passage in the side of or at some such other suitable part of the box,
specially provided for this purpose and the desired strip or piece of paper may
then be severed from the roll, inside the receptacle. The aperture through which
the roll is placed in the receptacle is provided with a suitable lid or cover.
I facilitate the insertion of the roll of paper into its receptacle by specially rounding
the corner of the interior plate, over which the paper passes.
In order that my invention may be fully understood I now refer to the annexed
drawings in which :-

compartment therein, for containing a coil or roll of cigarette paper d and which
is covered by the lid e pivoted at eis a hole so as to enable the paper d to be
pushed in and out. is a plate or part of compartment over which the paper d
passes and this plate has a rounded edge so as not to catch the paper when it is
inserted in the compartment c. The compartment may be provided in any box
used by smokers for containing the roll d.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:-
1. An inproved box for matches or other articles constructed as shown and
provided with a compartment or division, and containing a roll or strip of
cigarette paper which is withdrawn for use through an opening in the com-
partment, an aperture f, & lid e all in combination substantially as described.
2. The use of a continuous roll or strip of paper in combination with a box for
matches and other articles substantially as described and shown.
3. The use of a perforated plate which may be depressed so as to hold or press
upon the paper during the operation of severance substantially as described an
shown.
4. In boxes or receptacles of the class herein described a guide plate having
a rounded shoulder for the purpose as hereinbefore described.
