PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Cigar or Cigarette Tube.
I, GASTON GRANDCLÉMENT, Manufacturer, of Saint Claude, Jura, France, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to cigar and cigarette tubes which may be made of any
suitable form, size and material, and consists in piercing same with several parallel,
longitudinal perforations, which are independent from each other. Any suitable
number of these longitudinal perforations may be employed. Such perforations
may at will either terminate or not, in the cavity to receive the cigar or cigarette,
in tips of some hard material such as ivory, bone, etc.
The end of the cigar or cigarette tube where the cavity above referred to is
formed, may if desired be fitted with a metal ring or mount, with the object of
strengthening this part of the article if requisite.
.
The cigar or cigarette tube may also have a single channel or bore proceeding
from such cavity, and divided into any number of suitable air passages near the end
opposite to that at which such cavity is formed, that is to say the end which is
placed in the smoker's mouth.
The advantages possessed by cigar or cigarette tubes constructed in accordance
with either of above arrangements, are as follows:-
1. Of increasing the circulating space for the smoke.
2. Of dividing up the smoke as it enters the smoker's mouth, thus making same
materially cooler.
3. Of providing a better draft, thus diminishing the effort of drawing.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Cigar or Cigarette Tube.
I, GASTON GRANDCLÉMENT, Manufacturer, of Saint Claude, Jura, France, 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 cigar and cigarette tubes which may be made of any
suitable form, size and material, and consists in piercing same with several parallel,
longitudinal perforations, which are independent from each other, or with a single
principal perforation terminating at the end of the mouthpiece in several air
passages. Any suitable number of these perforations and air passages may be
employed.
In the accompanying drawings
Fig. 1 is a horizontal section of a cigar tube or holder showing one method of
carrying my invention into effect, and
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of same.
Fig. 3 is a side elevation partly in section of a cigar tube illustrating a slightly
modified form of the invention.
Referring to Figs. 1 and 2, it will be seen that the cigar tube or holder g is
pierced longitudinally with three perforations or bores c, c, c, which at the opposite
end to the mouthpiece terminate in tips c¹ of bone, ivory, or other hard material
which projects into the cavity h provided to receive the cigar or cigarette. A
Din Q17

page_text: metal ring g' surrounds this end of the tube g. The ring gland also the tips c¹, may
be employed or not, as desired.
In the modification shown in Fig. 3 the tube or holder g is pierced with a single
central perforation or bore c¹¹, which at the mouthpiece is divided into three air
passages c, c, c.
The objects of the construction described and shown as examples of the manner
in which my invention may be carried into effect are:-
1. To increase the circulating space for the smoke, which is equivalent to
increasing the length of the cigar or cigarette tube or holder.
2. To divide up the smoke as it enters the smoker's mouth, which has the effect
of materially cooling and sweetening such smoke.
3. To provide a better draft, thus to a great extent diminishing the effort of
drawing.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
In cigar or cigarette tubes or holders :-
1. Forming such tubes or holders with multitubular bores or passages by means
of parallel longitudinal perforations which are independent of each other, and the
number of which may be varied as desired, substantially as and the purposes
specified.
2. Forming such tubes or holders with multitubular bores or passages by means
of a single principal longitudinal perforation, which towards the mouthpiece
terminates in several air passages, the number of which may be varied as desired,
substantially as and for the purposes specified.
