CIGAR-I-IOLDER.

l which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a cigar holder ofthe type provided with a needle projectablethroughone end of: the holderfor insertion in the end of a cigar to be inserted A in the holder.

The primary object `of the invention is to provide a cigar holder of the class described having interposed between the ends thereof a casing formed from absorbent materia-l and collapsible to permit aneedle arranged within the holder to beprojected beyond one end of the holder for insertion within a cigar to be inserted within the holder.

A further object of the invention is to provide a cigar holder in which cigar receiving membermovable along a piercing element arranged-in the holder is connected with a collapsible casing insuch a manner that when movement in one direction `is imparted to the cigar Areceiving member the casing may be "partially collapsed `to `cause the piercing element to extend beyond the cigar receivingmember.

A still further obfect of the invention is to provide a cigar holder'win which a collapsible casing formed` from absorbent Inaterial is interposed between the ends of the holder so that when the said casing is partially collapsed ^the smoke from the cigar `inserted in the holder will be retarded in its passage through the holder to permit the smoke to cool, and also to enable thedcasing to absorb the tobacco tar contained in the smoke.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a cigar `holder of the class described having a `spring arranged within the collapsible casing of absorbent material and bearing against the mouth piece and cigar receiving-member of the holder to normally hold the collapsible casinginexi tended position, saidfspring also serving sage through the holder.

when the casingis partially collapsed to prevent the inner peripheral surface thereof from contacting and closing the smoke pas- With these and other objects in view the invention resides in the novel combination and4 arrangement ofhparts which will be,

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Da., 19, 1916. ,Application filed February 7, 1916. Serial No. 76,735.

hereinafter `described and moreparticularly pointed out in the appended claims.

The preferred embodiment of the invention has been illustrated in the accompanyu ingdrawing, although no restriction is new essarily made to the precise details of construction herein shown, as changes, alterations and` modifications in the scope of the appended claims mav be resorted to when so desired.

Like characters of reference denote corresponding parts throughout the several views in the drawing in whichn Figure 1 is aside elevation of a cigar holder constructed in accordance with the Ainvention and showing a cigar inserted therein. Fig. 2 1s a view similar to Fig. 1

showing the holder with the `cigar removed therefrom.

Fig. 3 is a'horizontal longitudmal sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a vertical longitudinal sectional viewthrough Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a section onthe line 5 5 of Fig. Ll. i

"Referring now to the drawings in detail the numeral 1 indicatesthe mouth piece of y the""improved `cigar holder which is `formed of any suitablematerial and has eX- Atending longitudinally thereof for a portion of its length a smoke passage 2 and communicating with said smoke passage and ar- "provide lip and teeth engaging surfaces 5. Extending centrally from the smaller end of the mouth piece 1 and in axial alinement with the smoke passage is a piercing element 6. Secured to the cylindrical portion l of the mouth piece 1 in any suitable manner in one end of a tapering and tubular casing 7 formed from any suitable ieXible absorbent material and arranged to surround in spaced relation the piercing element Gfor the greater portion of its length. Secured to the smaller end of the casing 7 and mounted to slide upon the piercing element 6 is a cigar receiving member 8, said member having extendinglongitudinally n with a fiared recess `10`to receive oneend of the cigar when linsertedin the holder. Extending longitudinally ofthe piercing ele thereof concentrically arranged smoke paef1 `sages 9 commumcatmgat fone end thereof ment G and wound spirally about the same 1s a coil spring 1l, said spring having its respective terminals connected with the mouth piece l and the receiving member 8 for a purpose which will be hereinafter described.

When it is desired to use the cigar holder the receiving member 8 is moved along the piercing element 6 in the direction of the mouth piece against the action of the spring il, such movement of the receiving member causes the end of the piercing element to project bevond the same and also causes the casing 7 to be partially collapsed. The end of the piercing element is now inserted within the end of the cigar and Ythe cigar moved along the piercing element until the end thereof is positioned within the recess 10 thereby connecting the cigar with the holder. The cigar may now be lighted and it will be noted with reference to Fig. 3 in the drawing that as the smoke is drawn through the casing 7 as indicated by the arrows the smoke will contact with the convoluted portions of the casing which retard the smoke in its passage through the casing for a sufficient length of time to enable the collapsible casing to absorb from the smoke a. large percentage of the tobacco tar intermingled therewith. It will also be noted that when the casing 7 is partially collapsed the numerous convolutions throughout its length serve as heat 'adiating surfaces to enable the smoke in its passage through the casing to become thoroughly cooled and that the spring ll b as not sufficient strength to press the cigar receiving member 8 against the end of the cigar with sufficient force to remove the same from the end of the piercing element 6.

When it desired to remove the cigar from the holder the cigar receiving member 8 may be manually moved along thepiercing element G in a direction away from the mouth piece 1, such movement causing the end of the piercing element to be withdrawn from the rbutt of the cigar and within the cigar receiving member 8 at which ltime the casing 7 will be fully extended and held in such position by the spring 11.

By winding the convolutions of the spring 1l spirally about the piercing element 6 and in spaced relation therewith the entire co1- lapse of the casing 7 is prevented and the inner peripheral surface thereof prevented from contacting and closing the smoke passage through the holder.

From the foregoing statement taken in connection with the accompanying drawing it willbe at once apparent that a cigar holder has been provided, which is simple in construction, inexpensive of manufacture .and highly efficient in use.

Having thus described the invention what is claimed as new is 1. A cigar holder comprising a mouth piece, a piercing element connected with the mouth piece, a receiving member carried by the piercing element, and a flexible casing formed from absorbent material and interposed between the mouth piece and receiving member.

2. A cigar holder comprising a mouth piece, a piercing element extending from the mouth piece, a receiving member mounted upon the piercing element distant from the mouth piece, and a flexible casing formed from absorbent material terminally connected with the mouth piece and receiving member, said casing being collapsible.

3. A cigar holder comprising a mouth piece, a piercing element extending centrally therefrom, a collapsible casing formed from absorbent material and having one end cennected with the mouth piece, and a receiving element connected with the other end of the casing and mounted to slide upon the piercing element to collapse or extend said casing.

4. A cigar holder comprising a mouth piece, a piercing element extending centrally therefrom, a collal sible casing formed from absorbent material surrounding the piercing element andspaced therefrom, said casing being tapered and having its larger end secured to the mouth piece, `a receiving element connected with the other end of the casing and mounted to slide on the piercing element to collapse said casing, and a spring interposed between the mouth piece and the receiving member toi normally hold the Casi ing in extended position.

5. A cigar holder comprising a n mouth piece, a piercing element extending centrally therefrom, a collapsible casing formed from absorbent material surrounding the pierc` ing element and'spaced therefrom, said casing being tapered and having its larger end secured to the mouth piece, a receiving element connected with the other end of the casing and slidably mounted on the piercing element, and a coil spring interposed between the mouth piece andthe receiving member, said spring having the `convolutions thereof wound spirally about the piercing element in spaced relation thereto and adapted to prevent contact of the inner peripheral surf-ace of said casing when collapsed. y

ln testimony whereof I aliix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
