I PHILIP HOWARD DAVIS of 106 Salcott Road, New Wandsworth, London
S.W. Journalist do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates particularly to certain improvements in cigar and cigarette
mouthpieces and the like.
The object of this invention is to form the draught or smoke passage of a cigarette
or cigar or the like mouthpiece so that the passage of the smoke there through shall
be diverted from the ordinary straight bored piercing and to lengthen the passage-
for the smoke as it is drawn through the mouthpiece.
way
In forming such mouthpieces for cigars or cigarettes the same may be made up
in the ends along with the wrapper or for holders or pipe ends of any suitable
material with or without a covering or the mouthpiece may be fixed or removable
and changeable.
The said mouth pieces may be of any desired or available material and be made
with spiral transverse or diagonal grooving or crosswise piercings arranged to cross
each other obliquely and to intersect so that when the said mouthpieces are made up
with the cigar, cigarette, or holder and the covering a divergent or extended smoke
passage way will be obtained.
In such cases such like end pieces may be inserted and be removable in and from
mouthpieces of pipes or holders which of themselves may be. of substantially
ordinary construction but formed with recess to receive such ends. By the use or
employment of this my invention the smoke passage of the mouthpiece is consider-
ably elongated beyond the length of the mouthpiece proper with a result that the
smoke has a longer distance to travel than if through any straight passage, and
arrives in the mouth in a much cooler and sweeter state than heretofore. Similarly
the flow of nicotine into the mouth of the smoker is practically prevented and
further the saliva from the mouth is prevented from reaching the tobacco.

Improvements in Mouthpieces for Cigarettes, Cigars, and the like.
I, PHILIP HOWARD DAVIS, of 106, Salcott Road, New Wandsworth, London,
S.W., Journalist, 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 particularly to certain improvements in cigarette and cigar
mouthpieces and the like. The object of this invention is to form the draught or
smoke passage of a cigarette or cigar or the like mouthpiece, so that the passage

page_text: of the smoke therethrough shall be diverted from the ordinary straight bored
piercing and to lengthen the passage way for the smoke as it is drawn through the
mouthpiece. In using such mouthpieces for cigarettes or cigars, the same may be
'made up in the ends along with the wrapper, or for holders or pipe ends. And in
order that my invention may be the better understood I have appended the accom-
panying sheet of drawings, in which
igures 1 and 2 are longitudinal sectional views of a cigarette mouthpiece formed
in accordance with my, invention, and
Figure 3 is a similar view of a cigar mouthpiece.
Now in accordance with my invention, the said mouthpieces may be of any desired
or available material or combination of materials, and be provided with spiral,
transverse or diagonal grooving or crosswise piercings arranged to cross each other
obliquely or otherwise, and to intersect so that when the said mouthpieces are made
up with the cigarette, or cigar and the covering a divergent or extended smoke
passage way will be obtained.
In some cases the said end pieces may be inserted and be removable in and from
the stems.or mouthpieces of pipes or holders which may be of substantially ordinary
construction but formed with recess to receive said ends. By the use or employ-
ment of this my invention, the smoke passage of the mouthpiece is considerably
elongated beyond the length of the mouthpiece proper with a result that the
smoke has a longer distance to travel than if through any straight passage and
arrives in the mouth in a much cooler and sweeter state than heretofore, similarly
the flow of nicotine into the mouth of the smoker is practically prevented and further
the saliva from the mouth is prevented from reaching the tobacco.
Having now particularly described and a certained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
In mouthpieces for cigarettes, cigars and the like, the formation of the draught
or smoke passage substantially as herein described and shown in the accompanying
sheet of drawings.
