COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Cigarette Paper Cases:
I, WILLIAM SAMUEL FROST of Holton Halesworth, Suffolk, Gentleman, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
My invention relates to improvements in cigarette paper cases and has for its
object to provide a handy device for the pocket access to which can be readily
obtained while at the same time protecting the cigarette paper and preventing it
from being soiled or torn.
In carrying my invention into practice I provide a case of metal, leather paper
mache, vulcanite or other suitable material opened at one end or along one side
with a notch of cresentic or other similar shape whereat the cigarette paper book
which is placed inside the case can be conveniently grasped for withdrawal.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a front view and Figure 2 an end
view of my improved cigarette paper case. Like letters of reference indicate
corresponding parts. This case C consists of a plate of metal, vulcanite or the
like curved in the manner more particularly shewn in Fig. 2 and having its outer
edges e curled up. Owing to its elasticity this cigarette paper case forms a clip
wherein the cigarette paper book B is inserted and tightly held a notch being
formed as shewn in Fig 1 to allow of the said book being conveniently withdrawn
for use and subsequently replaced in position in the clip in the manner shewn in
Fig. 2 the thick lines c representing the edge of the paper cover-owing to the
advantageous form thus given this cigarette paper case the user thereof will be
able to readily place the same in any small pocket such as a waistcoat or ticket
pocket where it will be at hand for constant use, the paper book moreover remain-
ing not only clean but also retaining its flat form without the paper being liable to
become creased and curled at the edges as occurs usually with cigarette paper
books such as ordinarily carried about the person, the paper being after a little
time unfit for use.

page_text: Having now fully described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
The improved. cigarette paper case substantially as herein described and shewn
Lin the accompanying drawings and for the purpose set forth.
Dated this 20th day of October 1892.
