PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Oigarettes.
A communication from abroad by LOUIS PHILIP JACOBS, of Melbourne, in the
Colony of Victoria, Merchant.
I LESSER REPINSKI JACOBS of 2 London Wall Avenue in the City of London,
Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to improve the manufacture of cigarettes of
tobacco.
To obviate the inconveniences usually attendant on smoking tobacco.in this form
I make a more agreable mouth-piece adapted to prevent access of the nicotine or
other disagreable products of the burnt tobacco.
For this purpose the tobacco, in usual manner, is encased in a thin tissue of paper
or like material, within which tissue at one end is received the cylindrical portion of
the mouth-piece, the extension of which is of cone shape-coned outwards-formed by
a spirally wound strip of paper or other suitable material. Within the cylindrical
portion of this cone shaped mouth-piece, extending more or less into the cone is a
filter formed of cotton-wool or other suitable absorbent material adapted to intercept
the nicotine. The inner end of the strip of paper also is conveniently arranged to bar
the escape of the cotton-wool or like material.
The paper forming the mouth-piece is preferably dressed with suitable wax-like or
substantially water-proof dressing to prevent adherence of the lips thereto, or its
being softened too readily in the mouth.

Cigarettes manufactured as described will be found to possess many advantages,
conveniences and otherwise.

A communication from abroad by LOUIS PHILIP JACOBS, of Melbourne, in the

I LESSER REPINSKI JACOBS of 2 London Wall Avenue in the City of London,
Merchant, 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 object of this invention is to improve the manufacture of cigarettes of
tobacco. To obviate the inconveniences usually attendant on smoking tobacco in
this form I make a more agreeable mouthpiece adapted to prevent access of the
nicotine or other disagreeable products of the burnt tobacco.
For this purpose the tobacco, in usual manner, is encassed in a thin tissue of
paper or, like material, within which tissue at one end is received the cylindrical
portion of the mouth-piece, the extention of which is of cone shape-coned
outwards-formed by a spirally wound strip of paper or other suitable material.
Within the cylindrical portion of this cone shaped mouth-piece, extending more or
less into the cone is a filter formed of cotton-wool or other suitable absorbent
material adapted to intercept the nicotine. The inner end of the strip of paper
also is conveniently arranged to bar the escape of the cotton wool or like material.
