CIGAR CUTTER.
APPLICATION FILED APR-30,1915.
Patented Mar. 28, 1916.
Wain egses wje fizzy/ Z4 ROBERT E. GAY, or
ATTLEBORO, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOB, TO BATES AND BACON,
OF ATTLEBORQ, MASSACHUSETTS, A FIRM.
CIGAR-CUTTER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
. Patented llIt1'.28, 1916.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ROBERT E. GAY, a citizen of the United States, residlng at Attleboro, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in C gar- Cutters, of which the following is a spec1fication.
My invention relates to cigar cutters, and has for its essential objects the provision of means whereby the end of acigar may be severed with greater speed and with less manual exertion and by a more natural movement by the operator than has heretofore been possible.
A further object is to attain a maximum of shearing radius or power in the aws combined with a minimum of space.
Further objects are adaptability to ornamentation, portability, simplicity and inexpensiveness of construction.
Other advantages will be apparent to those skilled in the art in connection with the description of the structure.
To the aboveends essentially my invention consists in such parts and combinations of parts as fall within the scope of the appended claim.
In the accompanying drawings which form a part of this specification, Figures 1, 2 and 3 are front, side and plan elevations respectively of my cigar cutter, Figs. 4, and 5 sections on line w00 of Fig. 2 showing respectively the parts in open and closed positions, and omitting the attaching ring, and Fig. 6, an enlarged section on line y-y of Fig. 5.
Like reference characters indicate like parts throughout the views.
In detail my cigar cutter consists of a body A comprising in the present instance side plates at alike in all respects. The plates are preferably retracted near their upper ends as at a whence they gradually increase inbreadth to their top portions a said to portions being slightly. of less breadth than the oval body portion a These plates are provided in their retracted portions with beveled openings B in alinement with each other. In the lower portions of the plates are perforations 0 which receive a tubular rivet D whose ends (Z are headed over against the outer faces of the body plates (1. Surrounding the rivet D is a spacing sleeve E whose ends abut against the inner faces of the plates at, and cooperate with the rivet to hold the body plates parallel with each other atone end. The end portions 64 of the plates are connected by spaced pins f fixed thereto by solder or otherwise, and in horizontal alinement with each other near the lateral margins of the plates.
Two cutting or shearing members G of substantially similar construction comprise arms 9 outwardly curved from each other intermediate their length, and provided at their lower ends with openings 9 to loosely receive the member E upon which the arnis rotate. Adjacent the perforations the arms have recesses g in their faces to permit overlapping of the perforated portions of the arms in order to bring the arms into approxnnately the same plane with each other. Near their upper portions the arms 9 are expanded outwardly to form broad rounded finger bearing shoulder portions g merging into and forming portions of inwardly directed fiat blades H of less thickness than the shoulder portions adapted to overlap and slide upon each other. The blades are provided with arcuate heveled cutting edges it upon their adjacent inner margins, and upon the tops of the blades adjacent the beveled edges are vertical lugs z adapted to contact with the stop pins f. Upon intermediate portions of the arms g are flat projections J which support and are inclosed by a flat helical spring K whose ends abut against the compressible arms, and which hold the latter distended in their normal open position.
A cigar end may be placed in the opening formed by the holes B, and the thumb and finger of the operator bearing against the shoulders 9 pinch the blades H together so that the cutting edges it pass each other and by a shearing action sever the cigar end. The described movement is limited to the necessary degree by the contact of the for- Ward edges of the lugs z with their opposite stop pins f. 7
When the manual pressure upon the blades H is discontinued the arms are forced back by the spring K to original position, excessive travel in this direction being prevented by the contact of the rear edges of the projections with the pins 7. This structure is adapted for attachment to a chain,
and for this purpose a ring L passes through the member D and through this may pass the end link of a chain.
What I claim is A pair of oblong plates having alined cigar-tip receiving openings and held in spaced relation by rivets, one rivet being centrally arranged at one end of said plates and a pair of spaced rivets at the other end of said plates, and normally-separated arms pivotally mounted on the central rivet, carrying cutting blades and having operating portions normally projecting beyond the side lines of the plates, said arms carrying .lugs arranged to contact With the spaced rivets limiting the movement of the arms in each direction.
In testimony whereof I have aflixed my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Gommissionernf. Patents,
