PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Cigar and Cigarette Holders.
I SAMUEL ROBERT ENGLISH, 16 Addison Villas, Addison Street, Nottingham,
Artist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Each holder consists of a hollow cone or other shaped piece of wood, bone, ivory,
vulcanite, amber or other suitable material, having its upper end forming or
terminating in an interiorly screw threaded ferrule, which receives the lower screw
threaded portion of an amber or other mouthpiece. Within the holder a piece of
metal extends across the hollow part below the ferrule, from the centre of the
metal piece a short flat blade or a plain or grooved pointed rod projects outwards.
When in use a cigar or cigarette is pressed onto the blade or pointed rod into
the interior of the hollow cone until it forms an air tight joint. When not in use
the amber or other mouthpiece may be unscrewed and placed upon the blade or
pointed rod and be screwed into the narrow end of the hollow holder, it may then
be carried in a pocket or other receptacle.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Cigar and Cigarette Holders.
I, SAMUEL ROBERT ENGLISH, 16 Addison Villas, Addison Street, Nottingham,
Artist, 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 :-
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figure 1 shows a side view of one of my improved holders and a cigar.
Figure 2 a side view of an improved holder and a cigarette.
Figure 3 shows a longitudinal sectional view of an improved holder.
Figures 4, 5 and show side views of portions of each severally referred to
hereafter.
Each holder consists of a hollow cone 2 shown at Figures 1, 2 and 3, or other
shaped piece of wood, bone, ivory, vulcanite, amber, or other suitable material,
perforated in the direction of its length, having its upper end terminating in an
interiorly screw threaded ferrule, which receives the lower screw threaded portion
of an amber or other mouthpiece 1.
Within the holder a sharp edged piece of metal 5 is driven into the screw
threaded perforation and extends across it as shown in the sectional view Figure 3,
from the centre of the piece of metal a flat blade or a plain or grooved pointed
rod 5ª projects outward, when grooved the pointed rod forms the segment of a
circle having sharp edges as shown at Figure 5, to facilitate its entrance into a
cigar or cigarette.
Or instead of the flat headed, grooved, and pointed rod a piece of wire triangular
in section having a point at its outer end and being helically coiled at the other
end as shown at Figure 6, may be screwed into the stem of the holder up to the
inner screw threaded end of the mouthpiece 3.
When in use a portion of the pointed end of a cigar is cut off and it or the end
of a cigarette is moistened by the smoker and pressed onto the blade 5 or rod 5"
into the interior of the cone of the holder until it forms an air tight joint.
[D01

page_text: When not in use the blade 5 may be protected by pressing it into a short rod of
indiarubber shown in side view at Figure 4.
Or the mouthpiece 3 may be unscrewed from the holder and be placed on the
rod 5ª and screwed into the cone of the holder as shown by dotted lines 3" at
Figure 3, it may then be safely carried in a pocket or other receptacle.
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 :-
The construction and employment of improved holders for cigars and cigarettes,
substantially as described and illustrated in the drawings annexed.
