PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Cigar and Cigarette Holders.
I JAMES HUGILL SCOTT, of Abbotsford House, Penrith, in the County of
Cumberland, Pharmaceutical Chemist, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in cigar and cigarette holders, and
consists in so forming such holders that they may be held comfortably in a
smoker's mouth without causing inconvenience thereto, while at the same time
such holders will be inexpensive of manufacture and economical in use.
According to my invention I fashion the cigar or cigarette holder wholely or
partly of non-vulcanized india-rubber, and provide that end which euters the
smoker's mouth, with a small raised rim or flange, to enable the lips or teeth to
more securely grip the said holder.
The holder is so tapered towards the flanged end aforesaid, as to leave a small
unoccupied space between the end of the cigar or cigarette held by such holder,
and the raised rim or flauge aforesaid, upon which unoccupied portion the teeth
of the smoker will grip.
Dated this 13th day of January 1896.

Improvements in Cigar and Cigarette Holders.
I, JAMES HUGILL SCOTT, of Abbotsford House, Penrith, in the County of
Cumberland, Pharmaceutical Chemist, 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 improvements in cigar and cigarette holders, and
consists in so forming such holders that they may be held comfortably in a
smoker's mouth without causing inconvenience thereto, while at the same time such
holders will be inexpensive of manufacture and economical in use.
According to my invention I fashion the cigar or cigarette holder wholely or
partly of non-vulcanized india-rubber, and provide that end which enters the
smoker's mouth, with a small raised rim or flange, to enable the lips or teeth to
more securely grip the said holder.
The holder is so tapered towards the flanged end aforesaid as to leave a small
unoccupied space between the end of the cigar or cigarette held by such holder,
and the raised rim or flange aforesaid, upon which unoccupied portion the teeth
of the smoker will grip.
In order that this my said invention may be the more readily understood and
carried into practical effect, reference is hereby made to the accompanying sheet
of illustrative drawings, wherein :
Fig. 1. is a section of the holder and Fig. 2. a side view of same shewing the
invention in actual use.

page_text: Referring to the drawing a is the holder or tube formed of non-vulcanized
india-rubber and provided at one end with a small raised rim or flange a¹. The
holder a is so tapered as to leave a space a between the end of the cigar b and
the raised rim or flange a'. The holder being flexible, the teeth of the smoker
are enabled to more securely and comfortably grip this unoccupied portion a³,
than heretofore was possible.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The improvements in cigar and cigarette holders, substantially as described
and shewn.
2. In a cigar or cigarette holder the provision of a space between the end a¹
and the cigar or cigarette held by said holder, so as to leave a yielding portion to
be gripped by the teeth of the smoker, substantially as and for the purposes
described and illustrated.
