PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Quill-tubes, and in the Manufacture thereof.
I, RAIMUND ZEISE, of Egelsdorf-Königsee, Thuringia, in the Empire of
Germany, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
This invention relates to a quill-tube in which one end is turned back over the
shank of the tube, and also to a process of manufacturing such quill tubes.
In the accompanying illustrative drawings,
Fig. 1 illustrates in longitudinal section a quill-tube according to this invention
used as the mouth piece of a cigar-holder which is also shown in longitudinal
section.
Figs. 2 and 3 are elevations of such a tube employed as the mouth piece of a
cigarette holder which is also shown in elevation.
Figs. 4 and 5 are longitudinal sections of quill-tubes having doubly turned-back
ends.
Fig. 6 illustrates a quill-tube according to this invention used as a paint-brush.
Fig. 7 illustrates in longitudinal section a quill-tube in which one end is simply
turned back over the shank; and
Fig. 8 is a longitudinal section of a quill-tube having one end turned back
twice.
According to this invention one end a of the tube is drawn back over the shank
portion b. This is effected by drawing the quill-tube over a hot mandrel the heat
of which renders the end a so soft and pliable that it can be readily drawn over
the shank b. In executing this operation the edge a¹ of the end a may be caused
to lie in contact with the shank, as shown in Figs. 1 to 7; or the lower edge a*
of the end a may be strengthened and stiffened by subjecting the turned over
end a again to the beat of the hot mandrel, and by pressure bending it again,
as shown in Figs. 1 to 6. The end a may also be turned over twice as shown at a
in Fig. 8.
A quill-tube of the kind described may be used for various purposes some of
which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. A quill-tube prepared
according to this invention possesses the advantage when employed as a mouth-
piece for a cigar or cigarette holder, that it is durable and is not easily bitten
through, although it is soft to the teeth. In its application as a paint-brusb
handle, the splitting of the end of the paint-brush holder, which usually takes place
when it consists of a quill and is forced over a wooden holder, is obviated.
Dated this 13th day of October 1894.

I, RAIMUND ZEISE, of Egelsdorf-Königsee, Thuringia, in the Empire of
Germany, Manufacturer, 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 invention relates to a quill-tube in which one end is turned back over the
shank of the tube and also to a process of manufacturing such quill-tubes.
In the drawings filed with my Provisional Specification,
Fig. 1 illustrates in longitudinal section a quill-tube according to this invention
used as the mouth-piece of a cigar-holder which is also shown in longitudinal
section.
Figs. 2 & 3 are elevations of such a tube employed as the mouth-piece of a
cigarette-holder which is also shown in elevation.
Figs. 4 & 5 are longitudinal sections of quill-tubes having doubly turned-back
ends.
Fig. 6 illustrates a quill-tube according to this invention used as a paint-brush-
handle.
Fig. 7 illustrates in longitudinal section a quill-tube in which one end is simply
turned back over the shank.
Fig. 8 is a longitudinal section of a quill-tube having one end turned back
twice.
According to this invention one end a of the tube is drawn back over the
shank portion b. This is effected by drawing the quill-tube over a hot mandrel
the heat of which renders the end a so soft and pliable that it can be then readily
drawn over the shank b. In executing this operation, the edge a¹ of the end a may
be caused to lie in contact with the shank, as shown in Figs. 1 to 7; or the lower
edge a² of the turned over end a may be strengthened and stiffened by subjecting
such turned over end again to the heat of the hot mandrel, and by pressure bending
it again to the form shown in Figs. 1 to 6. The end a may also be turned over
twice as shown at a' in Fig. 8.
A quill-tube of the kind. described may be used for various purposes some of
which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. A quill-tube prepared
according to this invention possesses the advantage when employed as a mouth-
piece for a cigar or cigarette holder, that it is durable and is not easily bitten
through, although it is soft to the teeth. In its application as a paint-brush
handle, the splitting of the end of the paint-brush holder, which usually takes
place when the holder consists of a quill and is forced over a wooden holder, is
obviated.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is :-
―
1. A quill-tube having one end a thereof turned inside out and over the shank
portion 6 so as to increase the strength of the tube, whether or not the turned-over
end be further turned outward at its lower edge a' or again turned over upon itself
as at a³, substantially as herein before described with reference to the examples
illustrated in the drawings.
2. The manufacture of a quill-tube such as specified in the preceding claim,
by rendering the end of the tube, soft and pliable by inserting a heated mandrel

set forth.
