GEORGE CRUIKSHank Pulford, Merchant, 24, St. Augustine's Road, Camden
Square, N.W., late of 14, Gloucester Crescent, Regent's Park, do hereby declare
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 an improved cigarette and cigar holder the object of
the same being to provide a simple and efficient means whereby the burnt portion
of a cigarette or cigar may be readily expelled from the end of a holder without
staining or burning the fingers.
In order that my invention may be readily understood I have herewith annexed
a sheet of illustrative drawings, in which Fig. 1 represents a holder partly in
section showing shields and bar.
Fig. 2 represents an end view of same.
Fig. 3 represents the groove and
Fig. 4 a modification.
In carrying my invention into practice I cut a groove and through both sides
of the holder B the desired distance; through which I pass a bar C of suitable
material extending from side to side each end of the said bar being attached to a
moveable shield D which works up and down the exterior of the holder so that
when the said shield D is moved towards the end of the holder it carries the bar
forward which expells the burnt end of the cigarette or cigar. An inner shield E
of any suitable material placed on the holder which is cut through both sides as
well as the holder, this fixed shield is covered with the aforementioned moveable

page_text: shield to which the bar is attached. In place of cutting a straight groove A. I may
cut a segment of a screw as shown in Fig. 4 which when the other shield is screwed
round will cause the bar to travel forward, and expel the end of the cigarette or
cigar as above described and with a rotary motion.
The bar can be of any desired shape and both bar and outer shield may be
made of any suitable material, or the bar may be made in the form of a roller.
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:-
An improved cigarette and cigar holder consisting of the outer moveable shield D
in combination with a bar B moving in a suitable slot A and an inner shield E
for the purpose of expelling the burnt end of a cigar or cigarette as above described
and illustrated in and by the accompanying specification and drawings.
Dated this 15th day of June 1898.
GEORGE CRUIKSHANK PULFORD.
