GASTON ROVEROLIS DE RIGOUD DE ST. AUBIN 27 Gerard Street Soho London
Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
--
My Invention consists of a main tube A Fig. 1 & 2 which may be made in any
suitable material and convenient form and a smaller tube or mouthpiece B Fig. 1 & 2
which slides freely into the tube A. The centre of the tube A is turned out at the
top & bottom a little larger than the diameter of the tube B, but at C Fig. 2 it is
only bored large enough and coned at the end to give a bearing to allow the piston
or rod D which is connected by a screw E Fig. 2 to the tube or mouth-piece B.
Through the piston or rod D is bored a hole which runs throughout its length and
corresponds to a similar hole bored through the mouthpiece B. I then insert the
rod or piston D in the bottom of the tube A at G and insert the spiral spring F into
the hole at the top of the tube A. I then screw down the tube or mouthpiece B on
to the rod or piston at E. The spring F. Fig. 2 working against the projection as
shown in the tube A and-against-the shoulder at the end of the tube B prevents the
piston or rod from falling out, whilst the cone shape bottom of the piston or rod
fitting a similar cone shown at H turned inside the tube A prevents it from sliding
up. It will be seen that should the end of a cigarette or cigar be left in the tube A
at G by pressing the mouthpiece B which actuates the rod or piston D in the same
direction expels any end of cigarette or cigar or foreign matter from the end G ; on
releasing the pressure on B the force of the spring F will cause the mouthpiece B
to fly back to its original position.

Mr. GASTON ROVEROLIS DE RIGAUD DE ST. AUBIN "Ravenswood Streatham
Common S.W. Gentleman 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 patent is for a Cigar or Cigarette Holder & it offers the advantage of intercepting
the passage of the nicotine to the mouth & of expelling the burnt end that is being
smoked without the necessity of raising the other hand.
This holder is composed of three tubes and of a spring and also of a mouthpiece
of amber, ivory, or horn, or of wood entirely.
The holder may be made in wood, amber or any other composition that is usually
used to make Cigar & Cigarette Holders.
My Invention consists of a main tube A Fig. 1 & 2 in the drawing found in my
provisional specification which may be made in any suitable material and convenient
form, and a smaller tube or mouthpiece B Fig. 1 & 2 which slides freely into the
tube A. The centre of the tube A is turned out at the top & bottom a little larger
than the diameter of the tube B, but at C Fig. 2 it is only bored large enough and
coned at the end to give a bearing to allow the piston or rod D which is connected
by a screw E Fig. 2 to the tube or mouthpiece B. Through the piston or rod D is
bored a hole which runs throughout its length and corresponds to a similar hole
bored through the mouthpiece B. I then insert the rod or piston D in the bottom
of the tube A at G and insert the spiral spring F into the hole at the top of the
tube A. I then screw down the tube or mouthpiece B on to the rod or piston
at E.

page_text: The spring F Fig. 2 working against the projection as shown in the tube A and
against the shoulder at the end of the tube B prevents the piston or rod from falling
out whilst the cone shape bottom of the piston or rod fitting a similar cone shown
at Hturned inside the tube A prevents it from sliding up. It will be seen that
should the end of a cigarette or cigar be left in the tube A at G by pressing the
mouthpiece B which actuates the rod or piston D in the same direction expels any
end of cigarette or cigar or foreign matter from the end G, ou releasing the pressure
on B the force of the spring F will cause the mouthpiece B to fly back to its original.
position.
Having now given a full description of my invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is―
Firstly. That it offers the advantage of intercepting the passage of nicotine into
the mouth and
Secondly. Of expelling the burnt end of a cigar or cigarette that has been
smoked, without the necessity of raising the other hand to expel the same and
thereby avoiding the unpleasantness of taking away such burnt ends with the fingers.
