FRANK MARLAND SEDDON, 141, Drury Lane, London, W.C., Manager of Cigarette
Factory, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to holders for cigarettes and it has for its object to
provide a simple and improved holder which will present a more suitable and
pleasant surface in contact with the lips, be tasteless, stronger in construction and
which will possess general advantages over the ordinary paper holders with waxed
ends now usually employed.
In carrying out my invention I form the holder from any kind of wood cut
into veneers, and in cases where the particular kind of wood has not sufficient
natural pliability I mount the wood upon a foundation of paper or other suitable
material.
The holder is preferably formed by rolling a suitable blank into a conical tube
and securing the terminal outer edge by pasting or in any other suitable manner.
The blank from which the holder is rolled preferably has a projecting tongue
or extension at one end, which is adapted to form a loop or fold located interiorly
and transversely at the smaller end of the holder which loop or fold will not
impede the free passage of the smoke through the holder.
I may also use a wad of cotton wool inside the holder to filter the smoke when
passing through, or any other porous material which is suitable.
Dated this Tenth day of July 1899.

ends now usually employed.
In carrying out my invention I form the holder from any kind of wood cut
into veneers or shavings and in cases where the particular kind of wood has not

page_text: sufficient natural pliability I mount the wood upon a foundation of paper or other
suitable material.
Where wood alone is used it may be either in one sheet or when greater strength
is desired two sheets superimposed, with the grain of the top sheet running across
that of the bottom sheet; both sheets being fastened together by a suitable
adhesive.
The holder is preferably formed by rolling a suitable blank into a conical tube
and securing the terminal outer edge by pasting or in any other suitable manner.
The blank from which the holder is rolled preferably has a projecting tongue
or extension at one end which is adapted to form a loop or fold located interiorly
and transversely at the smaller end of the holder which loop or fold will not
impede the tree passage of the smoke through the holder.
I may also use a wad of cotton wool or any other material which is suitable,
inside the holder to filter the smoke when passing through.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is :-
1. An improved holder for cigarettes having an exterior surface formed of
wood.
2. An improved holder for cigarettes provided with a covering of wood.
3. An improved holder for cigarettes formed of a shaving of wood.
4. An improved holder for cigarettes formed from a blank cut from a sheet of
wood veneer.
5. An improved holder for cigarettes comprising a strip rolled to form a tubular
body and having a surface of wood and a wad of cotton wool inside.
Dated this Eighteenth day of April 1900.
