i CLIFFORD V. BA'I'ES, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
CIG'AR-CUTTER.
To aZZ 'witam it may concern Be it known that I,` CLIi'FoRn V. BA'ms, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, `county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cigar-Cutters of which the following is a specification.
The principal object of my invention is to construct a cigar` cutter, and primarily a pocket cigar cutter, which is both simple and positive in its operation.
A `further object of the invention is to so construct the device that slight pressure upon the cutting blade will throw the blade into operative position and at the completion of the outting stroke` the blade will be held within the casing.
Further objects of the invention are to construct a small device, the parts of which are durable and the outting blade held in proper position at all times for making a clean cut on the end of a cigar without tearing or otherwise disturbing the wrapper.
l/Vith these objects in view my invention consists of the structure shown in the accompanying drawing in whichp Figure 1 is a plan view of my improved cigar cutter with the blade within the casing; F ig. 2 is a similar view to Fig. 1 with the blade in operative position ready for the outting stroke. Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of Fig. 1 with the top of the casing removed; Fig. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of Fig. 1; Fig. 5 is an enlarged longitudinal sectional view of Fig. 1; Fig. 6 is a rear elevational view of Fig. 3 with the rear wall of the casing removed.
Referring now more particularly to the drawing, the device comprises a casing 10 preferably formed in two Sections which are secured together by any well known means, such as soldering at the joints. An opening 11 is formed through the two side walls of the casing. A guide plate 12 is mounted within the casing which is provided with a circular opening 13 in registering alinement with the opening 11, and surrounding said opening is an annular flange 11 that is secured to the guide plate 12. The annular flange 14: is so designed as to extend into the opening 11 in one of the side walls of the casing. The guide plate 12 is provided with hinge members 15 and 16. A bar 17 provided with hinge i members 18 and 19 similar to the hinge members 15 and 16, is secured between the Specification of Letters Patent.
1914. Serial NO. 824,945.
end walls of the casing by means of rivets 20. A hinge pin 21 extends through said hinges and in the preferred construction the hinge pin 21 is soldered to the hinge member 15 and to the hinge member 19 i while the hinge pin is in a slightlytwisted position so that the spring of the hinge pin normally tends to press the guide plate 12 against the upper wall of the casing. The outting blade 22 is formed with a diagonally disposed outting edge 23. One side of said blade 22 is extended beyond the outting edge forming the l'lange 2-land a spring 25 is secured to the ilange 21 and to theend 26 of the hinge pin 21 that projects beyond the hmge member 19. The other side of the blade 22 is extended beyond the outting edge forming a spring arm 27 herein shown provided with a notch 28,`
the purpose of which will be hereinafter dcscribed. The blade is also provided with a neck ` 29 which slides between the end walls of the casing in the slot 80. The outer end of the neck 29 is provided with an enatented Dec. 1, 1914.1
One edge 34- of the blade is doubled upon itself to form a. flange which overlies one edge of the guide plate 12 whereby the blade will always be held in close contact with the guide plate 12.
The operation of the device is as follows: When the blade is in closed position the lug 32 projects within the notch 28 on the arm 27 thereby holding the blade within the casing and while the blade is so held the spring 25 is under tension. Then it is desired to cut the end of a cigar, by inserting the end of the cigar in the opening 11 and against the blade 22 on the l'lange 111 and pressing `slightly against either the flange or blade,
the blade will move slightly toward the bottom wall of the casing depressing the spring 33 until the upper edge of the blade is ``below the lower edge of the lug 32, whereupon the spring25 will force the blade outwardly into the position shown in Fig. 2. The Cigar end is then inserted within the opening 11 until it seats upon the fiange ll whereupon the blade is foi'ced inwardly by placing a finger upon tlie enlai'ged end 31 and the Cutting edge 28 will sever the end of the Cigar from the body thereof. At the completion of the Cutting stroke the spring 38, as well as the hinge pin 21, forces the ai'm 27 toward the top wall of the vcasing and when the notch 28 is brought into registering alineinent with the lug 32 and the upper edge of the ai'm is forced above the i 'lower edge of the lug 82 the blade will again'be held in its closed position and the device may be then inserted in the pocket of the user.
In addition to the spring `33 serving to hold the blade against the plate in order that a close contact between the parts may be obtainedI and thereby better sever the oigarend, I have also provided a further means for accomplishing this result by making the `hinge pin 21 serve as a spring to normally force the guideplate towai'd the top of the casing, and as the guide-plate carries the Cutting blade with it by reason of the fiange l, a Close contact between the guide plate and blade is thereby procured. The end wall of the Casing may be also cut away, as shown at 85, so that any fragments of tobacco that may collect within the casing will fall therefrom and not interfere with the working of the parts therein.
Having now described niy invention, I claim:
l. A cigar cutter comprising a; casing havingan opening therein, a Cutting blade I slidably mounted within said Casing, a mov- Hable guide upon which said Cutting blade is slidably mounted, a spring normally forcing said Cutting blade away from said casing andloclnng ineans between said blade and casing released by a lateral` pressure against, said blade.
2. A Cigar Cutter v comprising a casing having,. an opening therein, a guide lwithin j said casing, a Cutting blade slid'ably cono blade. v i
In witness whereof have hereunto sub scribed inyv nanieuthis ll-th day of March,
