IMPROVEMENTS IN TOBACCO POUCHES
Year: 1885

page_text: "
I, WILLIAM WILSON WALKER, 7, Marlborough Road Tuebrook in the County of
Lancaster, Tobacconist do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN TOBACCO POUCHES" to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to provide a tobacco pouch or other receptacle in
which tobacco is carried in the pocket, that will maintain the tobacco with a
required degree of moisture by supplying additional moisture to take the place of
that which may evaporate.
It consists in forming a chamber into which may be placed a sponge or other
absorbent material saturated with water or other liquid suitable for the purpose.
The walls or sides of this chamber where the tobacco comes in contact with it,
I prefer to make of a perforated material such as zinc earthenware, or other solid
material or a soft, or textile material, which will permit of the passage of the
moisture through it, may be used. As moisture evaporates from the tobacco it
absorbs that contained in the material placed in the chamber.
The position of the chamber will of course vary with the shape or description
of pouch or receptacle to which it is applied. In some cases it will be placed in or
near the centre forming a division and opening at the top making separate
compartments into which tobaccos of different qualities or descriptions may be
placed. In other descriptions of receptacles the chamber may be placed at the
bottom, in the lid, at the side, or in other position according to convenience and
may open either to the inside or outside of the pouch, as may be desired.

I, WILLIAM WILSON WALKER 7, Marlborough Road Tuebrook in the County of
Lancaster, Tobacconist, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN TOBACCO POUCHES" and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
The object of this invention is to provide a tobacco pouch or other receptacle in
which tobacco is carried in the pocket that will maintain the tobacco with a
required degree of moisture by supplying additional moisture to take the place of
that which may evaporate.
It consists in forming a chamber into which may be placed a sponge or other
absorbent naterial saturated with spirits, water or other liquid suitable for the
purpose. The walls or sides of this chamber where the tobacco comes in contact
with them are made of a perforated material, such as indiarubber, zinc, earthen-
ware, or other similar material, or a soft or textile material which will permit of
the passage of the moisture through it may be used. As moisture evaporates from
the tobacco, it absorbs that contained in the material placed in the chamber.
The position of the chamber will of course vary with the shape or description of
pouch or receptacle to which it is applied. In some cases it will be placed in or
near the centre formning a division and opening at the top making separate
compartments into which tobaccos of different qualities or descriptions may be
placed. In other descriptions of receptacles the chamber may be placed at the
'bottom in the lid, at the sides or in other position according to convenience, and
may open either to the inside or outside of the pouch as may be desired.
Referring to the annexed drawings the invention is shewn applied to a tobacco
pouch of well known and popular description.

Figure 2 elevation (with part removed) of the part of the pouch into which the
tobacco is placed.
Figure 3. sectional elevation of Figure 2.
B the top
A is the bottom part of the pouch or the receptacle for the tobacco.
It is
or cover. C the walls or sides. D is a chamber placed in the receptacle B.
provided with a back E of metallic or other hard perforated material and a lid or
front F which can be opened or closed at will. Between the perforated back or
plate E and the lid F. a chamber G is formed into which I place a sponge, cotton
wool, or other absorbent material moistened with any suitable liquid, H are tubes
extending from the chamber D up the sides of the pouch perforated along the
inner side and also filled with a moistened material. For pouches of a small size,
these perforated tubes may be omitted or placed in other situations through the
tobacco in the pouch as may be found desirable. The chamber G formed of the
back E and front F may be placed, or cemented inside of the pouch, and made to
open to the inside, but I prefer to make it as shewn opening to the outside. It is
provided with a double flange I between which the material of which the pouch is
made is caught and may be cemented or otherwise securely held.

page_text: It will be understood that the invention is not limited to one form or shape of
chamber as that may be modified to conform to the shape of pouch with which it
is used, though it will be found that a perforated tube of india rubber, metal or
other material will be found convenient for many forms of pouch.
When the material in the chamber becomes dry it can be removed and
replaced, or a few drops of a liquid may be added while in position.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I wish it to be
understood that I do not herein make claim for any part of the invention described
and claimed in the specification of the patent for which application was made by
me on the twenty seventh day of November 1884 No. 15,616, but that what
I claim is
1st. A tobacco pouch or receptacle for carrying tobacco, having an internal
chamber or tube composed of perforated or other material through which moisture
can pass, containing an absorbent material as a vehicle for carrying liquid.
2nd. The combination with a tobacco pouch of the chamber containing an
absorbent material attached or fitted internally or externally to the material of
which the sides or walls of the pouch are composed, substantially as described and
shown.
