and in Attaching the same.
I ALFRED GEORGE GOODES, of 31 High Street Lewisham in the County of
Kent Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in the mouthpieces of Cigars, Cigarettes,
and Cheroots, and like articles for the prevention of nicotine and small par-
ticles of tobacco entering the mouth of the smoker.
Whereas many different materials such as cane, cork, wood, cotton wool have
hitherto been used.
My invention consists of the utilization of spongy material such as the ordinary
sea sponge, spongy paper pulp or such analogous or absorbant material compressed
or in their natural state.
I may also saturate them with an innocuous disinfectant and anticeptic such as
Condys fluid or a weak solution of permanganate of potish or other such disin-
fectant or anticeptic so that the nicotine oil resinious and other deleterious sub-
stances which are not destroyed or burned by the action of smoking the Cigar
Cigarette or Cheroot may be retained and absorbed by the before mentioned
Chemically treated spongy matter:-by such means the poisonous gas formed by
the consuming of the nicotine in the Cigar, Cigarette or Cheroot, is arrested and
sterilised before entering the mouth of the smoker.
The Cigar Cigarette, or Cheroot, mouthpieces for this purpose, I preferably make
of paper, paper mache or such like substance such mouthpieces are preferably
cone shaped and coated with gold or gold leaf on the out side and varnished or
not as desired, to prevent the metal coming in contact with the lips.
I may also coat them with a silvered paper or leaf or bronze silver or aluminium
powder or leaf or with such ornamentations as rings or bands formed with the
same material.
In some cases after inserting the before mentioned spongy material
I permanently attach them to the Cigar or Cigarette or I may attach them
loosly to the Cigar or Cigarette and such mouthpieces may be sold separately
either with or without the said spongy pulp such plug may also be retailed alone
for inserting into any ordinary Cigar or Cigarette holder.

Improvements in the Mouthpieces of Cigars, Cigarettes, and Cheroots,
and in Attaching the same.
I, ALFRED GEORGE GOODES of 31 High Street Lewisham in the County of
Kent, Gentleman, 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:-
My invention relates to improvements in the mouthpieces of Cigarettes, Cigars,
and Cheroots, and like articles for the prevention of nicotine and small particles
of tobacco entering the mouth of the smoker.
Whereas many different materials such as cane, cork, wood, cotton wool have
hitherto been used.
My invention consists of the utilization of spongy material such as the ordinary
sea sponge spongy paper pulp or such analagous material either compressed or
in their natural state.
I may also saturate them with an innocuous disinfectant and anticeptic such
as Condys fluid or a weak solution of permangunate of potash or other such dis-
infectant or anticeptic so that the nicotine oil resinous and other deleterious
substances which are not destroyed, or burnt by the action of smoking the Cigar,
Cigarette, or cheroot, may be retained and absorbed by the before mentioned
chemically treated spongy matter; by such means the poisonous gas formed by
the consuming of the nicotine in the Cigar, Cigarette, or Cheroot, is arrested and
sterlised before entering the mouth of the smoker.
The Cigar, Cigarette, or Cheroot mouthpieces for the purpose I preferably
make of paper, paper mache, or such like substance, such mouthpieces are preferably
cone shaped and coated or partly coated with gold or gold leaf on the outside and
varnished or not as desired to prevent the metal coming in contact with the lips.
I may also coat or partly coat them with a silver paper, or silver Aluminium or
other leaf, or bronze, silver, or Aluminium powders; or with such ornamentations
as rings or bands formed with the same material or otherwise as desired.
per-
In some cases after inserting the before mentioned spongy material I
manently attach them to the Cigar, Cigarette, or Cheroot, or I may attach them
loosely to the Cigar, Cigarette, of Cheroot, and such mouthpieces may be sold
separately either with or without the said spongy plug, such plug may also be
retailed alone for insertion into any ordinary Cigar or Cigarette holder, or may be
placed separately in the box containing the Cigars, Cigarettes or Cheroots.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
1. The utilization of a spongy material such as the ordinary sea sponge, spongy
paper pulp or any such analagous material either compressed or in its natural
state in the mouthpieces of Cigars, Cigarettes, or Cheroots.
2. The above mentioned spongy material to be saturated with an innocuous
disinfectant and anticeptic such as Condys fluid or a weak solution of perman-
gunate of potash or other such disinfectant or anticeptic.
3. The prevention of nicotine oil resinous and other deleterious substances which
are not destroyed or burnt by the action of smoking mav be retained and absorbed
by the before mentioned chemically treated spongy matter.
