PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Mouth-piece for Cigarettes and Cigars.
I, LOUIS COEN, of 458, Oxford Street, London, W. Cigarette Manufacturer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to an improved mouth picce or holder for cigarettes and
cigars, and the object of the invention is to produce a mouth piece or holder which
is quite tasteless, by which the smoke will be cooled in its passage, and which may
be so cheaply made as to admit of being supplied gratis to the purchasers of boxes
of cigarettes.
My improved mouth piece or holder consists of a combination of a goose-quill
with paper, fashioned into conical form to adapt it to receive the end of the cigar
or cigarette and to make a joint with the quill of which it forms a continuation.
The paper is cut to the form of the development of the cone to be formed and is
then rolled into the conical form about the end of the quill to which it is united by
means of starch or other innocuous adhesive material.
Dated this 4th day of June 1891.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Mouth-piece for Cigarettes and Cigars.
I, LOUIS COEN of 458, Oxford Street, London, W. Cigarette 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 :-
My invention relates to an improved holder or mouth-piece for cigarettes
(applicable also as a holder for cigars) and the object of the invention is to
produce a holder or mouth-piece which is quite tasteless, by which the smoke
will be cooled in its passage and which may be so cheaply made as to admit
of being supplied gratis to the purchasers of cigarettes or of being applied to
cigarettes without appreciably increasing the cost.
The mouth-piece, whether of the holder or cigarette, consists essentially of a
goose-quill which when applied to a holder is combined with paper fashioned
into conical form to adapt it to receive the end of the cigarette (or cigar) and
to make a joint with the quill of which it forms a continuation.
When the
mouth-piece is applied direct to the cigarette, the paper cone may be formed
by a continuation of the cigarette wrapper which in that case is contracted
around and united directly to the quill.
In the drawings forming part of this Specification,
Figure 1 illustrates the invention as applied to a cigarette (or cigar) holder and
Figure 2 shews the mouth-piece applied directly to the cigarette itself.
In Figure 1 a is the mouth-piece formed of a short length of goose-quill and bis a
paper cone formed of a piece of paper cut to the form of the development of a cone
and then rolled upon itself into the conical form about the end of the quill a the
overlapping portion of the paper being united to itself and to the quill by means of
starch or other innocuous adhesive material. In Figure 2 the quill a is inserted in
the end of the paper wrapper of the cigarette which is left unfilled with tobacco
and is contracted around and pasted or gummed to the quill.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
The herein-described mouth-piece consisting of a length of quill in combination
with a paper cone adapted to receive the end of the cigarette (or cigar) or formed
by the end of the cigarette wrapper itself, substantially as specified.
