We MORICE FINKLESTEIN, and MAX KLUISNER of 45 Bromehead Road, Com-
mercial Road East, Middlesex. Cigarette Makers do hereby declare the nature of
our said invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a novel method of making cigarettes the object being
to dispense with the use of gum or other adhesive and also with the necessity of
wetting the edge of the paper when rolled around the tobacco as is usual.
For the purpose of our invention we, after rolling the ordinary paper around
the tobacco place a ferrule or tube of paper over the cigarette, said ferrule or
tube being in loose contact so that it can be slid along the cigarette and be used
as a mouthpiece if desired.
The ferrule or tube also serves as a label to indicate the quality of the tobacco,
the place of the manufacture or any other device or indication found desirable.

page_text: We MORICE FINKLESTEIN and MAX KLUISNER of 45 Bromehead Road Com-
mercial Road East Middlesex Cigarette Makers 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 a novel method of making cigarettes, the object being
to dispense with the use of gum or other adhesive, and also with the necessity of
wetting the edge of the paper that is rolled around and encloses the tobacco.
For this purpose, we enclose the tobacco, as usual, in a paper wrapper, either
by folding the paper round the tobacco or by rolling the paper into the form of
a tube and introducing the tobacco while the paper is temporarily held in a
tubular case; and then we slide on to the cigarette so formed a ferrule or short
complete tube or sleeve of paper or like material which prevents the paper wrapper
"from opening apart, and which may be used as a mouth pièce if desired.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings is an elevation and Fig. 2 is a longitudinal
section of a cigarette thus made, and Fig. 3 shows separately the short tube,
ferrule or sleeve employed to prevent the paper wrapper from unfolding. A is
the roll of tobacco, B is the paper wrapper, the edges of which overlap a little
but are not held together by any adhesive material: Cis the ferrule or short
piece of tube which if made of paper (preferably somewhat stronger than the
paper B) has its overlapping edges cemented together so that it forms a complete
sleeve, of such diameter that it can slide along the cigarette, and of length about
one third of the length of the cigarette. At first the sleeve C may best occupy
the middle part of the cigarette as shewn in Fig. 1; as the cigarette is consumed
the sleeve may be slid down towards the mouth of the smoker, and may serve as
a mouth piece. The sleeve C may serve as a label indicating quality, place of
manufacture or other matter.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is,
A Cigarette consisting of a roll of tobacco wrapped in paper, which is folded
round the tobacco without adhesive at its edges, and is held on the roll by a
ferrule or sleeve slid on to it, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
Dated this 25th day of September 1888.
