Improvements in or relating to Mouth-pieces or Holders for Cigarettes

I WILLIAM HENRY BARACLOUGH of Great Western Chambers Livery Street in
the city of Birmingham in the county of Warwick, Consulting Mechanical Engineer
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
Improvements in or relating to mouth pieces or holders for cigaretts and other
like smokes.
My invention relates to the manufacture and construction and the material used
in the said manufacture of mouthpieces or holders of cigaretts cheroots or cigars:
and consists in making the said mouthpiece or holder that will entirely prevent the
nicotine or oils from entering the mouth, and also preventing any loose particles of
tobacco from entering the mouth, at the same time producing a perfect mouth
piece or holder which will remain perfectly cool while smoking & which remains
entirely non adhesive. In carrying my invention into effect for cigarettes: 1 take.
a strip of material known as vegetable parchment, which I coil into the form of a
spiral, until it is equal in diameter to the diameter of a cigarette, the said coil is
inserted in the tissue paper around one end of the said coil or mouth piece. Instead
of forming the said coil entirely of vegetable parchment, I may insert a thin layer
of blotting paper & coil the two together: the object in using the blotting paper
is to assist in absolving the nicotine or oils. Although I find the vegetable parch-
ment sufficient of itself to absolve the nicotine or oils.
Instead of forming a parallel coil I may make the coils conical in shape. In this
form I may attach them to one end of the cigarette or I may make them separately
so that the smoker may apply them when required.
In this arrangement I make the large end of the cone open, so as to admit the end
of a cigarette.
_ When it is required to apply the said invention to the end of cheroots or cigars,
I construct them in the same manner as before described-with the exception of the
size which is adapted to suit the size of the cheroot or cigar.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Mouth-pieces or Holders for Cigarettes
and other like Smokes.
I, WILLIAM HENRY BARACLOUGH of Great Western Chambers Livery Street in
the City of Birmingham in the County of Warwick, Consulting Mechanical Engineer
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 the manufacture and construction and the material used
in the said manufacture of mouth pieces or holders of cigarettes, cigars, cheroots,
and other like smokes, and consists in making the said mouth piece or holder, that
will entirely prevent the nicotine or oils from entering the mouth, and also preventing
any loose particles of tobacco from entering the mouth, at the same time producing a
perfect mouth piece or holder, which will remain perfectly cool while smoking, and
which remains entirely non-adhesive. In carrying my Invention into effect for
Cigarettes, I take a strip of material known as vegetable parchment, which I coil
into the form of a spiral, until it is equal in diameter to the diameter of a cigarette ;

page_text: the said coil I insert in the tissue paper tube which holds the tobacco, or the paper
Lube may be formed by rolling the tissue paper around one end of the said coil or
mouth piece.
Instead of forming the said coil entirely of vegetable parchment I may insert a thin
layer of blotting paper and coil the two together.
"
The object of using therblotting paper is to assist in absorbing the nicotine or oils,
although I find the vegetable parchment sufficient of itself to absorb the nicotine or
oils.
Instead of forming a parallel coil, I may make the coils conical in shape, in this
form I may attach them to one end of the cigarette, or I may make them separately,
so that the smoker may apply them when required.
In this arrangement I inake the large end of the cone open, so as to admit the
end of a cigarette.
When it is required to apply the said invention to the end of cigars, or cheroots, I
construct them in the same manner as before described, with the exception of the
size which is adapted to suit the size of the cigar, or cheroot.
I will now proceed to describe with reference to the accompanying drawing the
manner in which my invention is to be performed.
I take a parallel strip of vegetable parchment represented in Figure 1. The said
strip I roll or coil loosely into the form of a spiral, represented in Figure 2, and the
vertical and horizontal sections Figure 3.
Or I may take a wide width say a quarter of a sheet of vegetable parchment and
roll or coil its full length as represented in Figure 14, the roll or coil being held
together either by a little paste or starch. The said roll I cut in equal divisions as
represented, thus forming a complete mouth piece, represented at Figures 2 and 3.
Figure 5 represents the mouth piece attached to the end of Cigarette, and is inserted
in the end of the tissue paper tube b, which holds the tobacco c, or it may be
attached by a narrow strip of paper, or tinfoil to the said tube as shown at a
Figure 6.
Figure 6 and 7, also shows another method of rolling or coiling the parchment; in
which a fold is inade at the commencement of the sheet, this allows more space for; the
passage of the smoke.
The spaces between the coils in the mouth piece shown in the sections Figure 3
forms passages for the smoke the parchment at the same time absorbing all the nicotine
which would otherwise pass to the mouth.
Or instead of forming parallel coils I may make them conical as represented in
elevations and sections Figures 8 and 9.
In making this form of mouth-piece I take a short length as before described
and represented at Figure 2, and push out the centre thereof into the conical form
shown at Figures 8 and 9, and shown more clearly in the section Figure 9. A
passage being formed for the smoke. The coils are held in position with a little
paste or starch.
In this form they may be applied to Cigarettes in the manner before described
and represented at Figures 5, 6, and 7.
Or, may make them separately so that the smoker may apply them when
required. attach them in the following manner, the end of the Cigarette being
placed in the internal end of the mouth piece, a twist round is given by the hand
which forces the end into the coils f Figure 9, being screw like fastens it therein.
I may apply this form of mouth piece or holder to cigars as shewn at Figure 10,
or to any other like smokes, and they may be attached thereto in the manner herein.
before described.
Or I may take a taper strip of vegetable parchment as represented in Figure 11-
and coil or roll it up in the direction of arrow, into the form shewn at Figure 12-
The small end forming the centre, the large end the outer part which forms a cavity
inside the mouth piece or holder; it may be applied to a cigarette, as shewn at
Figure 13-or to cigars, cheroots or other like sinokes in the same manner as the
mouth piece or holder represented at Figure 8 and 9, as before described..

page_text: I may likewise apply my new and improved mouth piece or holder to what are
known as compressed cigarettes by simply taking a cigarette as represented at
Figure 4 and compressing it into the form shown at Figure 14, or I may compress
them into an oval or any other required shape.
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-
First Making the mouth pieces or holders for cigarettes, cigars, cheroots and
other like smokes of vegetable parchment substantially as herein before described
illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
Secondly-The methods and process of forming the mouth pieces or holders for
Cigarettes, cheroots, cigars, and other like smokes substantially as herein before
described and illustrated in the several figures of the accompanying drawing.
Dated this 4th day of December 1889.
