COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and relating to Cigar and Oigarette Holders.
I, MAX SCHMIEDEKNECHT, of Egelsdorf, in Thüringen, in the Empire of
Germany, Manufacturer, 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 :-
-
The present invention relates to improvements in and relating to cigar- and
cigarette holders, the invention more particularly referring to the well known
cigar and cigarette holders having a quill as stem and mouthpiece and a
holder made of paper.
My invention essentially consists in coating or covering the external surface
of the holder with wood veneer.
I will now proceed to describe my invention more fully, reference being had
to the accompanying drawings, which form part of the specification, and in which
Fig. 1 shown an elevation of a cigar- or cigarette holder fitted according to
my invention.
Fig. 2 is a section through Fig. 1.
The holder in the usual manner is formed conically and of paper or other
invaluable material, the quill stem or any other suitable stem being inserted in
the holder as usual. Hitherto it has been the practice with cigar- and cigarette-
holders of the kind stated to cont or cover the external surface of the holder with
paper bearing advertisements in printing of one or more colours or to employ
fancy papers to improve the appearance of the holder.
According to the present invention the holder a is coated or covered with
veneer b of any desired and suitable kind of wood. Instead of using the ordinary
veneer, paper back-lined veneer may suitably be employed. I do not confine
myself to the application of any particular kind of vencer nor do I confine
myself to vencer of wood of any particular kind.
By fitting
a cigar- or cigarette holder in the manner set out above the
appearance is greatly improved, whilst the cost of manufacturing the holders
is only slightly increased.
The veneer can be smoothed, polished, coloured or treated in any desired and
suitable manner either before attaching it to the holder or afterwards, for the
purpose of improving the appearance of the wood in the customary way. Like-
wise the veneer may serve for receiving advertisements of any suitable kind.
The veneer may be attached to the holder in any suitable way either by
pasting, glueing or by means of grooves, rings or the like.
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.) A cigar and cigarette holder consisting of a paper holder and preferably
a quill stem and mouthpiece having the external surface of the holder coated
with veneer of any suitable kind of wood, substantially as described and shown.

ornamentations in connection with the wood veneer, substantially as described
