PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement connected with Tobacco Pouches.
We, ROBERT JOHN SHANNON and SIDNEY CASTLE Junior, both of
St. Katherine's, Westcombe Park, Blackheath, Kent, Gentlemen, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for object so making a tobacco pouch that two kinds of
tobacco can be placed and held separately in the same article in addition to a
roll or packet of papers for cigarettes.
We purpose making the pouch with two tobacco holding pockets of the
ordinary black rubber, or of other material, and provide one of said pockets
with a flap to close over the mouth of the other pocket to prevent the dust of
the tobacco mixing should it become dry, or from pieces being dropped into the
wrong pocket.
The folding line of each pouch may be provided with lips to hold a roll or a
packet of cigarette papers, and be enclosed when the pouch is closed up by folding
the third pocket inside out and over the other two.
By this invention, a smoker can make a cigarette from one kind of tobacco and
use the other kind for his pipe, the two tobaccos being in the same pouch instead
of being in separate pouches, as at present.
