Description
5. ,J. SIMMONS CIGAR CUTTER Filed Aug. 27. 1921 iatented 21, 1923.
CIGAR CUTTER. 7
Application filed August 27, 1921. Serial No. 486,026.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SAMUEL J. SIMMONS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of 5 Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cigar'Cutters, of which the following is a specification.
This invention has for its purpose the construction of a simple, inexpensive and convenient pocket device by means of which to snip off the ends of cigars; and to this end I construct the same from a single piece of sheet metal having certain parts thereof disposed for performing the functions desired. In the drawings forming part of this specification, Fig. 1 is a side view substantially full size of a cigar cutter embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a top view thereof. 7 Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the same upon a larger scale. Fig. 4 is a face view of a blank out from sheet metal prior to its bend ing into its final form.
As shown. in Fig. l, the blank cut from sheet metal and preferably from thin spring steel, consists of a ribbon-like main body 1 having at one end a laterally projecting portion 2 which is to constitute the knife-edge, and at the same side-edge on the opposite end of-the body 1 a member 3 which is to 30 constitute the cigar-tip receiver.
he body 1 is bent over at its midlength to present its terminal portions or arms 4, 5 at an acute angle with respect to each other, the bend being-preferably one forming a 35 nearly complete circle 6 both for appearances sake and to constitute an eye through which to pass an attaching ribbon or cord.
Further. the portion 2 is bent at substantially a right angle to the plane of the arm a, s9 and its edge sharpened to-a cutting edge.
A hole 7 having been punched in the pertion3, either at the time the blank is formed,
clear the hole 7, and without the retaining or later, this portion 3 is bent up at right angles to the plane of the arm 5 to rest against the knife portion 2, and then the end 9 of the portionii bent over above the arm 4 to retain the latter in place, sincethe bend 6 is made such as to cause the arms a, 5 to spring apart more than for the blade 2 to ear 9 the arms might separate far enough for the blade to strike the edge of the'portion 3 or even slip outside thereof.
Hence, the arm 4 being normally resting against the ear 9, a cigar tip can be inserted within the hole 7 and the arms 4, 5 pressed together, thereby severing the tip from the body of the cigar. i
As would be evident to any mechanic, these cigar cutters can be blanked out and bent up1into final form-by automatic machineryat merely nominal cost. At the same time, they are neat in appearance and ef fective in operation.
What I claim is: V
A cigar cutter comprising a pair of arms yieldingly pressed apart and composed of sheet metal, one of said arms having a portion bent up at right angles thereto at a lateral edge, the terminal section of said portion being bent over at right angles thereto to lie parallel with and to provide a stop for the other arm, the latter having a portion bent down at right angles thereto to lie flush with the surface of the first-named portion and having its edge sharpened and disposed tobe oblique to the arm of which it is a part, the first-named portion having a hole through it disposed to coact with said sharpened edge.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing invention, I have hereunto set my hand this 26th day of August, 1921.
SAMUEL J. SIMMONS.
