Improvements in Cigar and Cigarette Holders, Tobacco Pipes, and
Cigarettes.
I, RICHARD PSERHOFER, of 13, Singerstrasse, Vienna, Austria, Apothecary, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object to mix with the smoke from tobacco a small
quantity of ethereous oil or its stearoptenes, by impregnating cigar or cigarette
holders, tobacco pipes, mouth pieces for cigarettes, cigarette tubes or cigarette
paper itself with emulsions, solutions or vapours of ethereous oils or their
stearoptenes or by furnishing a part of the cigar or cigarette holder, cigarette
mouth piece or tobacco pipe with a capsule or the like which may itself consist of a
stearoptene or of vegetable matter containing ethereous oil which matter may be
strengthened by impregnation or the said capsules may consist of any other
organic or inorganic substances which have been impregnated with emulsions,
solutions or vapours of ethereous oils or their stearoptenes.
The substances which are used in the carrying out of this invention are the
various mentha thymus and melissa plants, species of eucalytus laurus camphora
and ethereous oils obtained from these plants and their stearoptenes.
As already mentioned the cigar or cigarette holders may themselves be im-
pregnated or fitted with capsules or the like having the said properties.
In the first case the substance from which the cigar or cigarette holder, tobacco
pipe, cigarette mouthpiece or cigarette paper is made, may be treated with a
solution, or emulsion of menthol, thymol, melissa, eucalyptus or camphor oil of
menthol, thymol or eculyptus, or camphor impregnated by vapours of these sub-
stances or their emulsions or solutions.
Instead of impregnating the said objects themselves they may be provided, as
already stated, with suitable fittings.
These fittings may have any suitable form and be made of the stearoptenes
themselves or of dried parts of the plants herein before referred to, which may be
strengthened by impregnation or of any kind of worked up or unworked up
inorganic or organic substances, which will absorb the aforesaid oils or stearop-
tenes by impregnation, mechanical mixing or condensing of the vapours, and will
let the smoke pass freely.
It is obvious that these fittings may be of various forms but must be capable of
being readily placed into the holder or tobacco pipe without reducing the space
provided for the reception of the cigar, cigarette or tobacco respectively.
If substances are used for the production of the said fittings which are of weak
cohesion they may be placed in a suitable envelope, which however must be
open at two of the opposite sides to permit of drawing the smoke through.
For instance the said fittings may be made from the following substances
Vegetable or animal fibres, threads spun or fabric woven from the same or of

page_text: felt, asbestos, porous, conglomerate and clay, the marrow of various species of
plants and the like.

Improvements in Cigar and Cigarette Holders, Tobacco Pipes, and
Cigarettes.
I, RICHARD PSERHOFER, of 13, Singerstrasse, Vienna, Austria, Apothecary, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following state-
ment:
This invention has for its object to mix with the smoke from tobacco a small
quantity of ethereous oil or its stearoptenes, by impregnating cigar or cigarette
holders, tobacco pipes, mouth pieces for cigarettes, cigarette tubes or cigarette
paper itself with emulsions, solutions or vapours of ethereous oils
or their
stearoptenes or by furnishing a part of the cigar or cigarette holder, cigarette
mouth piece or tobacco pipe with a capsule or the like which may itself consist of a
stearoptene or of vegetable matter containing ethereous oil which matter may be
strengthened by impregnation or the said capsules may consist of any other
organic or inorganic substances which have been impregnated with emulsions,
solutions or vapours of etheréous oils or their stearoptenes.
The substances which are used in the carrying out of this invention are the
various mentha thymus and melissa plants, species of eucalytus laurus camphora
and ethereous oils obtained from these plants and their stearoptenes.
As already mentioned the cigar or cigarette holders may themselves be im-
pregnated or fitted with capsules or the like having the said properties.
In the first case the substance from which the cigar or cigarette holder, tobacco
pipe, cigarette mouthpiece or cigarette paper is made, may be treated with a
solution, or emulsion of menthol, thymol, melissa, eucalyptus or camphor oil of
menthol, thymol or eculyptus, or camphor impregnated by vapours of these sub-
stances or their emulsions or solutions.
Instead of impregnating the said objects themselves they may be provided, as
already stated, with suitable fittings.
These fittings may have any suitable form and be made of the stearoptenes
themselves or of dried parts of the plants herein before referred to, which may be
strengthened by impregnation or of any kind of worked up or unworked up
inorganic or organic substances, which will absorb the aforesaid oils or stearop-
tenes by impregnation, mechanical mixing or condensing of the vapours, and will
let the smoke pass freely.
It is obvious that these fittings may be of various forms but must be capable of
being readily placed into the holder or tobacco pipe without reducing the space
provided for the reception of the cigar, cigarette or tobacco respectively.
If substances are used for the production of the said fittings which are of weak

For instance the said fittings may be made from the following substances
Vegetable or animal fibres, threads spun or fabric woven from the same or of

page_text: felt, asbestos, porous, conglomerate and clay, the marrow of various species of
plants and the like.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim, is:
1st. Impregnating the tips of cigars and cigarettes, tobacco pipes, mouth pieces
of cigarettes, cigarette tubes and cigarette paper with a solution, emulsion or the
vapours of ethereous oils or their stearoptenes, all substantially as in the manner
hereinbefore set forth.
2nd. Providing cigar and cigarette tips, pipes, cigarette tubes or cigarette mouth
pieces, with an insertion composed of stearoptenes or of impregnated plant leaves
from which ethereous oils are obtained, or of an organic or inorganic substance,
impregnated with solutions, emulsions or vapours of ethereous oils or their stearop-
tenes, all substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
3rd. Insertions for cigar and cigarette tips, pipes, cigarette tubes or parts of
cigarette mouth pieces, consisting of stearoptenes or impregnated plant leaves from
which ethereous oils are obtained, or of an organic or inorganic substance, im-
pregnated with solutions, emulsions or vapours of etherous oils or their stearop-
tenes, all substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
