page_text: I CORBET JOHN COVENTRY of the Naval and Military Club 94 Picadilly in the
County of Middlesex Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the saune 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 whereby
the end remaining in the mouth thereof may be readily removed when smoked as
far as desirable.
For this purpose I construct the holder in two parts one of which, the mouth-
piece fits within the other so as to be capable of sliding therein telescopically.
Both parts are formed taper, the mouthpiece externally and the holder internally
and a tight joint is thus formed when the parts are drawn out to the full extent
ready for use.
When required to discharge the stump or end of the cigar or cigarette a slight
twist from right to left or vice-versa loosens the joint and the mouthpiece being
forced into the barrel the stump or end of the cigar or cigarette is ejected there-
from without trouble.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood I have hereto
annexed a sheet of drawings illustrative thereof.
Figure 1 represents a section of my improved holder extended ready for use.
Figure 2 represents the same when closed, and
Figure 3 is an elevation thereof holding the end or stump of a cigar.
A is an ordinary mouthpiece of amber or other material inserted into a conical
perforated plug or plunger B over which fits a conical tube C.
When adjusted as shewn in Figure 1 the joint between the parts B and C is
airtight and a cigar or cigarette may be smoked as in the ordinary holder. When
it is desired to eject the end of the cigarette or stump of a cigar a slight turn in
either direction loosens the joint between the parts B and C and the user by
sliding the part B within the part C as shown in Figure 2 at once forces out the
stump or end without trouble.
I do not confine myself to any material for the construction of my improved
holder but whatever material or combination of materials may be employed it is
desirable to polish the exterior of the part B and the interior of the tube C so as
to secure a more perfect joint.
It is obvious that holders made in accordance with my invention occupy less room
and may be carried in the pocket without an outer case on account of the reduced
liability to breakage.
Having thus described the nature of my invention and shewn how the same is
to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
The construction of cigar or cigarette holders formed in two parts B and C
capable of sliding telescopically substantially as herein shewn and described.
Dated this 3rd day of March 1886.
