COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Cigar and Cigarette Supporting Attachment for Match Stands, Ash
Trays, and the like.
I, RICHARD FLORENZ SCHREIBER, of 19, Falkenstrasse, Dresden, Saxony, Ger-
many, Engineer, 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:-
My invention relates to a new and improved cigar and cigarette supporting
attachment for match stands ash trays, etc. and is fully described in the following
specification of which the accompanying drawings, with similar letters indicating
similar parts, form an inseparable part thereof.
In the drawings
Fig. 1 is a plan view of a combined match stand and ash tray with my sup-
porter attachment in connection therewith.
Fig. 2 is a partial vertical section of Fig. 1.
In the construction of my invention I employ a base ring A adapted to lie as
shown in the drawings in the annular groove of an ash tray and around the match
holder. In connection with said ring are a plurality of arms each consisting of a
wire formed body a with parallel sides and having their inner ends a¹ depressed
at any desired angle and securely fastened to the ring A aforesaid.
A second ring B also adapted to surround the match stand is connected to the
ends a thereby giving rigidity to the arms a. Depending between the sides of
each arm a is a concave plate b having its ends secured in any desired manner to
the said arm a. It will be thus seen that a cigar or cigarette may be easily
placed on any one of the said plates which by its peculiar form prevents the cigar
from slipping off or coming in contact with other cigars, or the ashes. While
in addition the ring B may be employed for separating the ash from the cigar
or cigarette.
However in place of arms a I may employ an annular shaped plate of any
desired material and which is provided with converging grooves for receiving
the cigars, or further I may construct the entire attachment in a somewhat cup
shaped form and adapted to be slipped down in place over the match stand as will
be clearly understood.
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. In a new and improved cigar and cigarette supporting attachment for match
stands etc. the combination of a supporter adapted to be easily slipped over a
match stand and means in connection therewith for separately supporting each
cigar or cigarette substantially as described.
2. In a new and improved cigar and cigarette supporting attachment for match
stands etc. the combination of a base ring, wire formed arms, depressed ends

page_text: formed on said bodies and securely fastened at their lower ends to said ring, a
second and bracing ring also engaging said depressed ends, and a concave plate
supported between the sides of each of said arms and adapted to receive a cigar
or cigarette, substantially as described.
