COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Cigar or Cigarette Holders, applicable to the
Mouth-pieces of Pipes.
I, EMIL SAVOR, of 99 Charlottenstrasse, Berlin in the Empire of Germany,
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 :-
The present invention relates to cigar and cigarette holders and to mouthpieces
for pipes and consists in constructing the same with an interior groove adapted to
catch off the nicotine generated in smoking. The said groove may also be filled
with a ring of cork or plaster of Paris or other substance capable of absorbing the
nicotine.
And in order to render the present specification more easily intelligible reference
is bad to the accompanying drawing in which similar letters of reference deuote-
similar parts throughout the several views, Fig. 1 being a longitudinal section.
through a cigar holder constructed according to my invention and Fig. 2 a similar
section through a modified form of the holder shown at Figure 1.
The holder consists of a tubular body having an interior rim a formed at the end:
said rim leaving a shoulder b as shown at Figure 1.
Instead of a shoulder or rim a an inwardly turned flange may be arranged as.
at al in Figure 2, leaving a groove or annular depression b.
I may also arrange a ring of cork or plaster of Paris at the shoulder a as shown.
at Figure 1 in order to absorb the nicotine generated, or the groove or annular
depression at Figure 2 may be filled with a cork or plaster of Paris ring as
shown in dotted lines at Figure 2 to absorb the nicotine.
The holder may be made of any suitable material but I have found that plastic
material such as enamel or similar substance forms a good holder which can be
made at the least expense, and when heated can easily be formed to the desired
shape.
In order to protect and ornament the end of the holder a ring of metal may be
provided at the end in which the cigar is placed such ring being turned over so as.
to protect both sides of the end of the holder as shown at c in Figure 2.
It is obvious that pipe stems or mouthpieces may be formed in the same
manner.
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 :-
1. In a cigar or cigarette holder or the mouth piece of a pipe, the arrangement.
of an internally extending rim or flange substantially as described.
2. In combination with a cigar or cigarette holder or with the mouth piece of a.
pipe, having a rim or flange as specified, the arrangement of a ring of cork or
plaster of Paris or other material capable of absorbing the nicotine generatedi
substantially as described.
3. In combination with a cigar or cigarette holder having an inwardly turned
flange at the end of the same, a material to absorb the nicotine generated arranged
to fill out the groove or annular depression formed by said flange substantially as
described.
4. In combination with cigar or cigarette holders having an inwardly turned

page_text: flange or a rim at the mouthpiece end, the arrangement of a metal ring at the
opposite end said ring being turned over the edge of the end so as to cover both
sides of the same substantially as described.
