Another object of the invention is to proin the event such -package should be tightly wedged or stuck within the box.

The invention consists in the details of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts of my improved cigarette box whereby certain 1mportant advantages are attained and the device rendered simpler, less expensive and otherwise more convenient and -advanta-' geous for use. as Wlll be hereinafter more fully set forth.

The novel'features of my invention will hereinafter be definitely claimed.

In order that my invention may be the better understood, I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a sectional perspective view illustrating a box constructed in accordance with an embodiment of my invention;

Figure 2 is a :view in plan. of the blank from-which the box as illustrated in Figure 1 is produced;

Figure 3 is a view in bottom plan of the device as disclosed in Figure 1;

Figure4 is a perspective sectional View illustrating a box constructed in accordance with a further embodiment of. my invention; I

Figure 5 is a view in plan of the blank from which the box as illustrated in Figure 4 is produced.

As disclosed in Figures 1, 2 and- 3 of the drawings, myimproved box is formed from a blank B scored on the lines a to provide a face wall 1,-the side walls 2 and a second face wall 3, one of the side walls 2 being provided with a flap. 4 adapted to bepasted. .along a free marginal portion of the second face Wall 3 whereby the box is maintained in desired assembly. One end of the face wall 1 is provided With an extended flap 5 to provide a bottom wall of the box, said V flap 5 being provided with an extension lie 6 adapted to extendwithin the assemble box between the face wall 3 and the applied package. This end flap 5 is provided in its central portion with an openin 7 to provide means whereby the package within the box may be readily forced outwardly through the opposite end to facilitate the extraction.

of a cigarette and particularly in the event the package is wedged or stuck within the ox. i The opposite end of the face wall 1 is provided with a flap 8 adapted to close the adjacent end of the box, said flap 8 being contifnued by an elongated flap 9 which is adapted to have its outer or free end portion inserted between the flap 10 and a block or pack 11 ofmatches. This flap 10 is arranged at the end of the face wall 3 adjacent to the end flap 5. This flap 10 is relativelyshort and is returned to overlie the outer face of the adjacent wall 3 and maintained in such position by a wire staple 12 or the like. Inserted between the flap 10 andthe adjacent face wall 3 is the block or pack 11 of matches, the staple 12 or the like also serving to maintain said block or pack 11 in applied position.
