Application filed September 8, 1916. Serial lto. 116,997.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MERVYN S. MACK,
a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Cigarette-Holder, of which the following is a. full, clear, and exact description.
My invention relates to cigarette holders characterized by theprovision of means for automatically ejecting the cigarette from the holder. 7
An object of the invention is to provide a simple and eiiicient device the size of which is that of an ordinary cigarette holder and with which a cigarette can be ejected from the holder automatically whenever desired.
A further object of the invention is to provide a cigarette holder of the character described in which the air can only enter through the mouth of the holder where the cigarette is received, thereby eliminating interference with the smoking of the cigarette through the holder.
With the above and other objects in view, the nature of which will more fully appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as herein fully described, illustrated and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, forming part of the application, similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure 1 is a longitudinal section through my cigarette holder in operative position;
Fig. 2 is a similar section showing the holder in the normal or inoperative position just after a lcigarette butt has been ejected rotation of the plunger within the inner Fig. 3 is a cross section through the holder therefrom; 1
on line 33, Fig. 1;
Fi 4 is a perspective view of the inner shell of the" holder; and
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the plun- Referring to the drawings, 6 is the outer shell or housing of the holder. A tubular inner shell 7 is fitted tightly thereinto. Said inner shell 7 has a longitudinal slot 8 at the rear end thereof and also an apertured bottom 9 closing the rear end of the shell. The inner shell has also an angular opening 10,
preferably triangular in form, and which registers with a flanged button 11., which flange of the button is mounted in a cup 12 fiat spring to the body of the plunger.
secured to the outer shell. The flange is prevented from dropping out of the cup by a cap 13 covering the cup. A portion of the button projects out of the cap 13 whereby it may be pressed through the bottom of the cap into the opening "10 of the inner shell. If desired, a spring may be provided below the flange of the button to normallyraise the same out of the opening 10,
but as will be seen hereinafter, this is not necessary.
The front end of the inner shell 7 is flared to facilitate the introduction of a cigarette 14, and also to .permitthe use of cigarettes of various diameters with the same holder. The inner shell 7 may be secured rigidly to the outer shell or housingfi by any suitable means. As shown, a pin 15 is used for the purpose. This prevents a longitudinal and rotary movement of the inner shell within the outer shell and thereby maintains the opening 10 in proper register with the button 11. p
The apertured bottom 9 of the inner shell forms an abutment for one end of a coil spring 16, the other-end of which spring abuts against the apertured end 17 of a tubular plunger 18 which houses the major part of the spring 16. The plunger has end collars 19, which collarsfit snugly into the inner shell. A fiat spring 20 extends between the two collars of the plunger, the rear collar serving aS means for securing tiile T e free end of the spring normally tends to rise and thereby bear against the inner surface of the inner shell 7. A pin or set screw 21 is provided on the collar 19 for engaging the slot 8. This engagement prevents the shell, limits the displacement of the plunger toward the mouth of the holder, and maintains the free end of the spring 20 in alinement with the angular openinglO of the inner shell durin the displacement of the plunger within t e shell.
When a cigarette end is mouth of the holder it plunger end 17. By applying pressure to the cigarette the plunger is forced into the laced into the rst, meets the shell, and when the free end of the spring 20 registers with the angular opening 10 of the inner shell it snaps thereinto, forcing the button 11 out of the opening and thereby raising the outer extremity of said button above the cap 13. The engagement of the spring with the opening 10 prevents the spring I6 from moving the plunger toward in Fig. 1 while thecigarette is smoked.
When it is desired to eject the butt, pressure is applied to the button as shown in Fig. 2. The button forces the end of the spring out of the opening 10, allows the coil spring 16 to expand and thereby forces the butt out of the holder.
If desired, the cap 13 may be made cup shape, so that the end of the button will be protected by the margin of the cap when in the raised position and thereby prevent an accidental operation of the button. It will be noted that the spring 20 serves two purposes, to lock the plunger when a cigarette is engaged within the holder and to raise the button, that is, to place the button into operative position for releasing the plunger.
Inview of the fact that the shells are made of very thin tubing, the cup 12 has preferably a tubular shank passing through the body of the outer shell to obtain a better connection between the cup and shell.
The stem 22 of'the holder may be made of any suitable material and secured to the outer shell in close proximity to the bottom 9 of the inner shell.
It will be noted that the only communication between the atmosphere and the interior of the housing, when a cigarette is in the mouth of the holder, is through the opening engaged by the button 11; and since this opening is always engaged by the button, there is little chance for air to pass. Furthermore, air is prevented from passing by the close fit formed between the flange of the button and the cup which receives it, thus any interference of air during the smoking is positively eliminated.
While I have described the principle of operation, together with the device which I now consider to be the best embodiment thereof, I desire to have it understood that the device shown is merely illustrative and that such changes may be made as are within the scope of the appended claims.
I claim:
1. A cigarette holder comprising a tubular einember, a second tubular member fitting into the first, a mouthpiece associated withone end of the first tubular'member, an apertured end wall for the second tubular member adjacent the mouthpiece, said second tubular member having the other end thereof flared to facilitate the engagement of a cigarette therewith, a tubular plunger within said second tubular member, a coil spring having one end thereof in engagement with the plunger and the other with the apertured end wall, said spring normally tending to move the plunger toward the flared end of the second tubular member, a fiat spring on the plunger, an aperture in said second tubular member adapted to be engaged by said flat spring whereby the coil spring is rendered inoperative, and a button mounted on the first tubular member to project through the aperture of the second tubular member whereby said flat spring may be disengaged from the aperture and the coil spring rendered operative, said plunger and second tubular member having cotiperating means for limiting the movementof said plunger toward the fiared end of said second tubular member.
2. A cigarette holder comprising a tubular housing having one end thereof flared for receiving a cigarette, a mouthpiece at the other'end of the housing, a tubular plunger having collars at the ends thereof fitting snugly into the housing, a coil spring within the housing for moving the plunger toward the flared end, a flat spring mounted between the collars on the plunger, said housing having a recess adapted to be engaged by the flat spring to renderthe coil spring inoperative, and a button on the housing in register with the recess for disengaging the flat 5 ring from the recess, substantially as and or the purpose set forth.
