IMPROVED WRAPPERS FOR CIGARETTE PAPERS
Year: 1884

page_text: COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
I ANNIBAL JEZZI, Merchant of 56 Carter Lane, Doctors Commons in the City
of London Middlesex do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for IMPROVED
WRAPPERS FOR CIGARETTE PAPERS and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
The wrapper or envelope A (Figure 1) of the cigarette paper, is made of thin
cardboard, and it is to be folded straight, from top to bottoin, on the two dotted
lines B. B¹ the part C coming over the part D and being fixed with paste.
The lines E E are two cuts, which are intended to receive and guide the
holder F (Figure 2) which is made also of thin cardboard. This holder goes
through the two cuts E E¹ (Figure 3) its central part G coming outside of the
wrapper A and its wings K L inside of same. These wings K L are to be folded,
on the dotted lines P P¹ (Figure 2), round the central strip H, of the wrapper A
(Figure 4), determined by the cuts E E¹, the wing K being placed underneath the
wing L.
The cigarette papers I (Figure 5) are fixed to the lower edge of the wing L of
the holder F, either by a small piece of thread O, or wire, or by a pin of any kind.
This thread, wire or pin, passing through the thickness both of the holder F and
the entire number of sheets of paper I, each sheet is so securely fixed to the holder
without any need of gum, paste or glue as used at the present time.
The holder F (Figure 6) after being attached to the cigarette papers I, is passed
through the cuts E E of the wrapper A until the wing K is outside the cut E and
put in the same position as shown in Figure 3, when it is to be folded round the
central strip H (Figure 4), the wing L (Figure 7) which holds the cigarette
papers, coming over the wing K. The two wings K L (Figure 4) of the holder F
aro folded round the strip H and slide forward and backward on the strip H
(Figure 1 and 4) as far as the extremities of the two cuts E E¹, so that it is
impossible for the holder F (Figures 4, 8, 9 and 10) to deviate in any way.
Figure 8 shows the wrapper A folded up and the holder F, with the cigarette
papers attached, slid back to its fullest extent. Figure 9 shows the wrapper A
folded up and the holder F, with the cigarette papers attached, halfway of its
extension forward. Figure 10 shows the wrapper A folded up and the holder F,
with the cigarette papers attached, slid out to its farthest extent. The tongue M

page_text: of the holder F (Figure 2), which is slightly bent upwards (Figure 11), is intended
to drive the holder F up and down, so as to bring out or withdraw the cigarette
papers. The tongue M (Figure 11) may be suppressed and the holder F (Figure 12)
driven forward and backward by the tips of the fingers, by pressing on its edges
at R and S.
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 In a wrapper for cigarette papers the two cuts E E¹ (Figure 1), which are
intended to receive and guide the holder F (Figures 3 and 4), and determine the
limit of its extension forward and backward (Figures 8, 9 and 10), substantially as
herein described, and for the purpose specified.
2nd In a wrapper for cigarette papers, the shape of the holder F (Figures 2 and
12), with or without the tongue M, and the method of folding the same, as herein
described and illustrated in the accompanying Drawings.
3rd In a wrapper for cigarette papers, the method of fixing the cigarette papers I,
(Figures 5 and 6), to the holder F, by a piece of thread O, wire, or by a pin of any
kind, passing through a hole at the lower edge of both holder and papers as herein
described and illustrated in the accompanying Drawings.
