I ADOLPH HAMBURG Gentleman of 19 Porchester Gardens Bayswater in the
County of Middlesex do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as
follows:-
This pocket cigarette maker consists of:
I a fork with two prongs running parallel and close together and of suitable
length.
Il a band of suitable length and width, which should be provided with a little bar
at each end.
To make a cigarette with this apparatus I place a cigarette paper on the aforesaid
band, place and spread the required quantity of tobacco on the edge of the paper
turned towards the nearest bar, fold the band over the tobacco, the uncovered edge of
the cigarette paper being left standing out over the band and insert the band between
the two aforesaid prongs in such a way, that the band will run over the inside of one
of the prongs, round the tobacco and over the inside of the other prong, the aforesaid
uncovered edge of the Cigarette paper standing out over the prongs and the band. I
now draw the band through the prongs by the corresponding bar, thus rolling the
tobacco into shape and drawing the cigarette-paper around it, so forming a perfect
Cigarette. If a Cigarette paper with a gummed edge is used the tobacco should be
placed on the ungummed edge and the gummed edge should be left standing out over
the band and the prongs as before described and should be moistened before the band
is drawn through the prongs. In this case the Cigarette will be turned out ready
stuck as required.
This apparatus may be used also as attachment to pocket knives, cigarette cases,
tobacco boxes, pouches and similar articles.

page_text: I ADOLPH HAMBURG Gentleman of 19 Porchester Gardens, Queens Road W. in
the County of Middlesex, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
This Pocket Cigarette Maker consists of:
1) A fork of suitable material with two straight parallel prongs of suitable length
running close together as shown by figure 1.
2) A band or ribband of pliable material and of suitable length and width, which
should be provided with a little bar at each end as shown by figure 2. These bars can
be fastened in any convenient way as by sewing or glueing. They can also be formed
by a strip of metal, bent double or in form of a tube and closed over the ends of the
ribband.
To make a Cigarette with this apparatus I place a Cigarette paper on the herein-
before described ribband as shown by Figure 2, in which it is represented by the
dotted lines designated by the letter P, c and c¹ representing the aforesaid bars and b
the ribband.
I then spread the required quantity of tobacco on that edge of the paper, which is
turned towards the nearer bar as shown by Figure 3 in a side elevation, c and c¹
representing the two bars, 6 the ribband, P the paper and T the tobacco.
I now fold the ribband over the tobacco, the uncovered edge of the Cigarette paper
being left standing out beyond the bar and insert the aforesaid ribband between the
two prongs of the aforesaid fork in such a way that it runs over the inside of one of.
the prongs, round the tobacco and paper and over the inside of the other prong, the
uncovered edge of the Cigarette paper still standing out over the bar and fork. This
position is represented by Figures 5 and 6, the latter one being a side elevation of a
cross section througxx shown in Figure 4.
Now I take hold of bar C¹ and draw it in the direction indicated by the arrow in
Figure 5 through the fork, so as to change the position shown by this figure to the
position shown by Figure 6, thus rolling the tobacco into shape and drawing the paper
around it. If a cigarette paper with a gummed odge is used, the gummed edge
should be left standing out as herein before described and it ought to be moistened
before drawing the ribband through the fork. In this case the paper will become
stuck when drawn around the tobacco and the. ribband when taken out of the fork
will contain the ready made Cigarette.
The shape of the herein before described fork could be modified in various ways.
The two prongs instead of being connected at one of their ends could be inserted into
a handle of suitable form and material or could be carried by a number of little hoops.
Also a little tube with a longitudinal slit of suitable length and width could be used
to insert the ribband into same and thus to offer the necessary resistance for rolling
the tobacco. This tube could be inade of any suitable material and might consist of

page_text: two pieces connected by joints or hinges running parallel to the aforesaid slit so that
it could be opened to receive the part of the ribband containing the tobacco and closed
over it.
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 :-
The manufacturing, sale and use of a pocket cigarette maker consisting of a fork or
modification of the same and a ribband or band with two bars as hereinbefore
described.
ADOLPH HAMBURG.
