WITNESSES.-

FRANZ A. FULLER, or NEWARK, NEW JERSEY, AssxeuoR Tori-IE J. E. MERGOTT co rrm, or NEWARK, NEWJERSEY, .A'GORPORATION or NEW JERSEY.
GIGAR-GUTTER- To all whom it. may concern:
Be it, known. that I, FRANZ. Former, a citizen, of the United States,,re s1d1ng 1n the city of Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements. in Cigar- Cutters, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, such as will enable others. skilled in the art towhich it pertains to make and use. the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,
andto numerals of reference marked thereon,'fo'rming a part of this specification.
This inventlon relates to new and useful improvements: in cigar cutters, the object being to provide improved means for re moving the end orv tip of a cigar, preparatory; to smoking the same, and to simplify.
the structure of-the cigar'cutter, so, as-to render the same positive. yet effective in operation, simple, and inexpensive in construction, and durable in use.
These ob'ects I perform in the preferred embodiment of my invention, which I have illustrated in the accompanying drawings, to which reference is had, and in which similar reference characters indicate corresponding arts in the several views.
In'the rawings,
Figure 1 represents a. plan view of the device in closed position.
Fig. 2 represents a similar view, showing the device in open position.
Fig.3 represents a sectional view on line ww of'Fig. 2; and
'aFig. t represents a, collective view of the various parts of the cigar cutter, the parts being represented in their detailed relation.
My improved device comprises essentially three elements, namely, the finger-receiving members 1 and 2, slidably secured together in any desired or convenient manner, between which is pivotally secured in .a manner to be hereinafter described, the cutter 3. The finger-receiving members are each provided with apertures 4, into which the fingers may be entered for operation of the device. 7
Adjacent to said apertures 4 on each finger-receiving member, integralstops 5 may Specification of Letters Patent. Patented- J une 18, 1918, n ucationa ee A pri13,1916. Serial nasa iao.
be. provided, to provide means for limiting the "inward movement of said finger-receivingmembers- The finger-receiving member 1 is provided with an opening 6 which may have a beveled side wall adapted to receive the; end of the cigar to be out, said. opening lying in: the path of the cutter 3 when the device is operated.
The finger-receiving member 1 along its longitudinal edges, is further provided with guiding means in the form of channels 7, by simply turning the metal of the finger-receiving member over, in order that the fingerreceiving member 2 may be positioned in the channels 7 of the finger-receiving member 1 andadapted for toand fro move menttherein. a
One of the channels 7 of the finger-receiving member 1 is provided with a series of holes 8, designed to be engaged by a series of projections or teeth 9, formed on the peripheral edge of the cutter 3. d
The finger-receiving member 2 is providedWith an aperture 10, surrounded by a circular wall 11, projecting outwardly from one side, of the finger-receiving member 2, toa height approximating the thickness of the cutter 3, said circular wall forming a bearing'formed by piercing the aperture 10 in the finger-receiving member 2, the circular Wall or bearing 11 being designed to be sprung into a suitable aperture 12 formed in the cutter 3, and upon which said cutter is rotatably mounted. A portion of the pe-, rijpheral edge of the cutter, as at 13, is beveled and sharpened for the purpose of forming a cutting edge.- v
In order to limit the forward and rearward movement of the cutter, I provide the same with twoflat portions numbered respectively 14; and 15, these flat, portions being designed to engage with theinside of one of the channels 7 to limit the forward and rearward movement of said cutter, the flat portion 14: engaging with the inside of the channel, limiting the forward movement of the cutter, and the flat portion 15 limiting the rearward movement thereof.
At a point diametrically opposite that portion of the cutter 3 which is provided with the teeth 9, the cutter is further provided With a flat portion 16, the ends of which serve as a further stop to limit the forward and rearward movement of the cutter, as clearly indicated in Fig. 2 of the drawings.
In Fig. 2 of the drawings, the cutter is shown in its rearward position and held from further rearward movement by the stop 15 which engages with the inside of the channel of the finger-receiving member 1 and one of the ends of the fiat portion 16 in engagement with the opposite channel of the finger-receiving member 1. When the cutter is in its forward position, the flat portion 14'. and the other end of the flat portion 16 will then engage with the inside of the channels of the finger-receiving memher 1, thereby limiting the forward movement of the cutter.
That particular tooth or projection which is designated by the numeral 9 of the cutter 3 is inserted in the first hole 8 arranged in the channel 7 of the finger-receiving member 1, and the cutter is then dropped into the finger-receiving member. Thereafter, the longitudinal edges of the finger-receiving member 2 are inserted in the channels 7 of the finger-receiving member 1 until the circular wall or bearing 11 is sprung into the aperture 12 of the cutter 3, whenthe parts are in operative relation one to each other.
The finger-receiving member 2 is further provided with a cut-away portion 17 at its forward end, in order to expose the cutting edge 13 of the cutter 3, when the parts are in their assembled positions.
It is clear that if a cigar end is entered into the opening 6, and if the finger-receiving members 1 and 2 are moved toward each other, that the cutter 3 will advance against the end of the cigar projecting beyond the finger-receiving member 1, and will shear the said end, due to the turn ing movement of the cutter 3, which is ro tatably mounted on the finger-receiving member 2, the teeth or projections 9 of said cutter engaging with the holes 8 in the channels 7 in the finger-receiving member 1.
It will thus be seen that I have provided a cigar cutter, in which I have reduced the actual number of parts to three; that when assembled, the possibility of the parts becoming separated by careless manipulation, has been reduced to a minimum. The parts are of such shape as to lend themselves readily to manufacture by the use of suitable punches and dies from ordinary sheet metal.
Experience has demonstrated that the organization above described is a practical and eflicient one for accomplishing the ends sought by this invention. The construction may however, be varied in detail by those nels, said cutter provided with peripheral means in engagement with the-said channels for limiting the forward and rearward movement of said cutter.
2. A cigar cutter comprising two members slidably secured together, each member provided with means for limiting the forward and rearward movement of said members, one of said members provided with an opening, and a cutter pivotally secured to the other member and located between the two members, said cutter being provided with peripheral means for limit-' ing the movement of said cutter.
3. A cigar cutter comprising tWo flat sheet metal members, arranged to slide longitudinally of each other, one of which has inturned edges forming channels in which the other member is slidably mounted, a rotary knife located between said sheet metal members and said channels and carried by one of said members, said rotary knife being provided with diametricallyoppositely arranged means designed to engage with the channels formed on one of said flat sheet metal members for limiting the movement of said rotary knife, when said members are moved longitudinally of each other.
A. A cigar cutter comprising two fiat sheet metal members, arranged to slide longitudinally of each other, one of which has inturned edges forming channels in which the other member is slidably mounted, and a rotary cutter interposed between the two sheet metal members, and said channels and carried by one of said members, said rotary cutter being further provided with means located on the periphery thereof, said means engaging with the channels in one of said flat members for limitin the forward and rearward move ment 0 said cutter when said members are moved longitudinally of each other.
5. A cigar cutter comprising two members arranged to slide longitudinally of each other, one of said members provided with an opening and further provided with channels along the longitudinal edgesthereof, a cutter rotatably secured to the other member and located between the channels This specification signed and witnessed of said sliding members, said cutter prothis 30th day of March, 1916.
