Belting Cigarettes with Cork over a Backing or between Lines of Gold
Silver, Aluminium, or Bronze.
FRANK MARLAND SEDDON, 6, Hare Place, Liverpool, Manager of Cigarette
Factory, 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:
Cigarettes are made in the ordinary way with papers which have a band of
gold, silver, aluminium or bronze printed across one end, and after the cigarettes
are made from such papers a strip of cork is fixed with any adhesive substance
round the cigarette and over the gold, silver aluminium or bronze band, the said
strip being rather narrower than the printed band upon which it is fixed, so
that a border of gold, silver, aluminium or bronze is shown on either side of the
cork strip.
Or, instead of a solid band of gold, silver, aluminium or bronze the cigarette
papers may have two parallel lines of the same metals printed across the paper in
such manner that the cork strip subsequently fixed round the end of the cigarette
will be enclosed within the lines, and have approximately the same appearance as
if the strip were fixed over a solid band of metal, the advantage of this method
being a saving in the cost of papers.
Another method is to take cigarette papers printed in the manner described,

page_text: either with a band of gold, silver, aluminium or bronze, or with parallel lines
of the same metals printed across them, and fix the strips of cork upon the bands
or between the lines of gold, silver, aluminium or bronze, afterwards making the
cigarettes in the ordinary manner from these papers belted with cork over a
band or between lines of gold, silver aluminium or bronze, the resulting cigarette
being the same.
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
1. An improved mouthpiece on cigarettes made by fixing a strip of cark upon
a backing of gold, silver aluminium or bronze, or between parallel lines of gold.
silver, aluminium or bronze so as to show a border of gold, silver, aluminium or
bronze on either side of the strip of cork, such border being either plain line or
ornamental.
2. Securing the joints of gold, silver, aluminium or bronze tipped cigarettes by
belting the tipped ends of such cigarettes with strips of cork fastened by an
adhesive substance.
Dated this Eighth day of December 1898.
