PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A Pouch Wrapper for Tobaccos.
We JOHN STONEMAN COOKE Stationer White Swan Yard Cloth Market
Newcastle on Tyne and JOHN THEAKSTON ROBSON Engineer 13 Mosley Street
Newcastle on Tyne do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
A new and improved form of wrapper for tobaccos such as are usually put up for
sale ready, in quantities from oz. to lb. The object of this wrapper is that
upon the breaking or unloosing of the seal or other means of fastening the wrapper
is so constructed as to become a convenient pouch wherein the purchaser can keep
for ready and easy use the quantity of tobacco which he has purchased. The
general arrangement of the paper, linen paper, cardboard parchment, cloth, or
other suitable material of which it is intended that this pouch wrapper shall be
made will be better seen by reference to the accompanying drawings.
For convenience the cylindrical form of packet tobacco wrapper is here shown
but it will be manifest that the principal of the invention is equally applicable to
other forms of tobacco wrappers such as those put up in oblong, square, or cubical
shapes or modifications such as hexagonal octagonal or rhomboid forms &c. &c.
As a means of closing the pouch wrapper while in use and thereby keeping the
tobacco secure we prefer to use a small elastic band but it will be manifest that
there are many other devices which will applicable such as hook & eye wire string
tape & the like means.
We claim the invention of a new form or forms of tobacco wrapper or wrappers
of such a character as above described which shall when wrapped up present the
appearance of the ordinary packets now in general use but which on opening shall
be found to be a pouch (instead of the ordinary flat paper now in use) with a
certain amount of additional room in it to enable the user to unravel his tobacco
somewhat for the greater convenience of filling his pipe, cigarette papers &c. &c.

A Pouch Wrapper for Tobaccos.
We JOHN STONEMAN COOKE Stationer White Swan Yard Cloth Market
Newcastle on Tyne and JOHN THEAKSTON ROBSON Engineer 13 Mosley Street
Newcastle on Tyne 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 :-
This is a new and improved form of wrapper for tobaccos such as are usually
put up for sale ready in quantities from oz. to lb. The object of this wrapper
is that upon breaking or unlosing of the seal or other means of fastening the
wrapper is so constructed as to become a convenient pouch wherein the purchaser
can keep for ready and easy use the quantity of tobacco which he has purchased.
The general arrangement of the paper, linen paper cardboard, parchment cloth or
other suitable material of which it is intended that this pouch wrapper shall be

page_text: paper
made will be better seen by reference to the accompanying drawing. The drawing
which illustrates the oz. packet size shows the cylindrical form which is the one in
general use but it will be evident that the principle of the invention is equally
applicable to any form pentagonal to polygonal inclusive. As shown on the
drawing of the end view of the pouch wrapper; two gusset shaped pieces of
(or other suitable material,) are stamped or embossed to a circular form at the lower
end, these are also creased on the lines A B-B C-B E-& B D. These gussets
are then gummed to a straight (or tapered) piece of paper in such a manner as
shown that when rolled up to the cylindrical package (as shown in the middle of
the sheet) the creases so adjust themselves that the covering folds easily and neatly
into the cylindrical shape. As a means of closing the pouch wrapper and thereby
keeping the tobacco secure we prefer to use a small elastic band but it will be
manifest that there will be many other devices which will be applicable such as
hooks & eye wire, string, tape and the like means.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is
1st. We claim the invention of a new form or forms of a tobacco wrapper or
wrappers of such a character as above described, which shall when wrapped up
present the appearance of the ordinary packets now in general use but which shall
on opening be found to be a pouch (instead of the ordinary flat paper now in use),
with a certain amount of additional room in it to enable the user to unravel his
tobacco somewhat for the greater convenience of filling his pipe, cigarette
papers &c. &c.
2nd. We also claim the strengthening of the circular (or polygonal) ends by
means of corrugations, additional thicknesses of cardboard or other suitable
material, or by adhesive paste or gum.
3rd. We also claim the creasing of the ends (above the circular parts) to enable
them to be neatly and easily folded and the lines of such creasing are shown on the
accompanying drawing and marked A. B-B C—B D—B E.
