CIGARETTE-HOLDER.
Specification of Letters Tatent.
Patented Mar. 22, 1921.
- Application filed November 29, 1918. Serial No. 264,654.
T 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HARRY W. McCHns- NEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of St. Louis and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in CigaretteiHolders, of which the following is a specification.
The object of this invention is to provide a holder for cigarettes and cigars that Wlll prevent stain and odor on the fingers and, yet, which will not accumulate sallva and nicotin. This device is particularly useful and suitable for holding a cigarette made or rolled by the user, due to the fact that when the makings have been assembled the gether.
In the case of dentists, barbers, ladies, and others, the absence of odor and stain from the fingers is very desirable, and, in view of the increased use of cigarettes by women, this device fills a need.
In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, in which like num' bers of reference denote like parts wherever they occur,
Figure 1 is a sectional view of this device with a cigarette held therein, the said view being taken on the line 1-1 in Fig. 3;
Fig. 2 is an end elevation; and
Fig. 3 is a side elevation.
When the makings have been rolled in the usual manner, the cigarette 1 is ready for insertion in place between the fingers 2 of the clip composed of the pair of arms 3 bearing the lips 2. The entire clip is preferably formed by stamping the same out of a blank of aluminum or other suitable metal and bending the same in the middle at a and causing the arms 3 to lie in contact with each other. I
The fingers 2 are expansible when the slidable collar 5 is moved to the lower position indicated in Fig. 1, while drawing the said. collar 5 forwardly on arms 3 toward the position shown in Figs. 2 and 3 causes the fingers 2 to grip the cigarette 1. To open the device, collar 5 is moved in the opposite direction.
Collar 5 is preferably made of the same material as the clip, but this is not neces sary. It is in form a simple bent strap stamped from a blank.
The lightness, convenience, and cheapness of this device, as well as the suitability of its form to bear advertising imprints, makes it desirable for the purpose in view.
The fold or bent part 6 of this device is preferably elongated, as shown in Fig. 3, for the purpose not only of giving greater strength at the place where the said bend is made, but, also, to afford a finger-grasp of size adequate to be taken hold of and held between the thumb and forefinger.
The blank from which the clip and the collar 5 are stamped is preferably of flat metal, making each of these devices preferably a flat metal construction. They may be simultaneously stamped from the same piece of metal if desired. It is, however, not essential that both shall be flat metal or that either shall be so constructed.
Summarizing the foregoing description, and in the light of the drawings, it will be perceived that this cigarette-holder is composed of a single strip of flat resilient metal, having a wide central portion and oppositely-disposed reduced arms, the wide portion of the strip being folded upon itself midway between said arms to form a spring loop and a finger grip having long fiat lat eral finger-engaging surfaces, the reduced arms of the strip then being extended inwardly to form parallel legs, the metal at the extremities of the arms being then bowed to provide opposed cigarette-gripping members 2 having elongated concaved gripping surfaces less than a semi-circle for holding cigarettes of different sizes without injuring the wrappers thereof, and a collar slidably mounted on the parallel legs for holding said gripping members in gripping position. The object in making the elongated concaved gripping surfaces less than a semi-circle is in order that, without injury to the wrappers, cigarettes of different sizes may be securely held.
Having thus described this invention, I hereby reserve the benefit of all changes in form, arrangement, order, or use of parts, as it is evident that many minor changes may be made therein without departing from the spirit of this invention or the scope of the following claim.
I claim:
A. cigarette holder composed of a single strip of fiat resilient metal, having a wide central portion and oppositely-disposed reing folded upon itself midway between said arms to form a spring loop and a finger grip having long flat lateral finger-engaglng surfaces, the reduced arms or the strip then belng extended inwardly to form parallel legs, the'metal at the extremities of the arms being then bowed to provide opposed cigarette-gripping members having el0ngated concaved gripping surfaces less than a semi-circlefor holding cigarettes of different sizes Without injuring the wrappers 10 thereof, and a collar slidably mounted on the parallel legs for holding said gripping members 111 gripplng position.
In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my HARRY W. MCCHESNEY.
. slgn ature.
