UNITED STATES HENRY W. JOHNSON, 0F DENMARK, SOUTH CAROLINA.

crean AND CIGARETTE HOLDER.

Application med January To all wlzom z't may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY W. JoHNsoN, a citizen ofthe United States, residing at Denmark. in the county of Bamberg and State of South Carolina, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Cigar and Cigarette Holder, Vof which the following isa specification.

This invention relates to improvements in cigar and cigarette holders, and has for its prima-ry object to provide a simple and efficient Ameans whereby the person using the device may enjoy the full avor and benefit of the cigar or cigarette without receiving any of its harmful effects.

vA further object of the invention is to provide a cigar and cigarette holder of the above mentioned character, wherein means is arranged wit-h the stem of the device in the path of the smoke for removing therefrom the nicotine and other deleterious matter therein.

A further object of the invention is to provide a device of the above mentioned character, wherein the stem is formed of transparent material so that the absorbent packing disposed within thel stem for preventing the nicotine and other deleterious matter from entering the mouth piece and the mouth of the user, will at all times be visible thus enabling the user of the device to readily ascertain when it becomes necessary to replace the absorbent packing.

A further object of the invention is to provide a device of the above mentioned character, wherein the several parts constitutingthe same may be readily aud easily assembled or disassembled, the device being further simple in construction, inexpensive,

strong and durable and furthermore ada ted for the purposes for which it is desagnated.

Other objects and advantages of this invention will become' apparent from thev course of the following description. v

In the accompanying drawing formin a part of this s ecication and in which like numerals designate like parts 'throughout the same:

Figure 1 -is a side elevation of one vform of the device.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view therethrough.

Figures 3 to 6 inclusive are longitudinal sectional views of modified forms.

7, 1925. Serial' No. 1,068.

Referring to the drawing, and more particularl to Figures 1 and 2, the device which 1t is of course understood may be used for holding either cigars or cigarettes, is constructed'in three sections, 1, 2 and 3 respectively. The section 1 designates the stem, the mouth piece and socket member being designated by the

sections

2 and 3 respectively. The stem 1 is formed of any suitable transparent material and is tubular in cross section. The stom may be constructed of glass, or bakelite, and it is to be understood that I do not wish to limit myself to the particular kind of material to be used. An absorbent pad or packing ofl cotton is adapted to be disposed within the tubular stem 1 and is indicated at 4 with reference more particularly to Figure 2.

The mouth piece 2 is provided at one end with the usual bit 5 and at its opposite end with an integral nipple 6. A longitudinally extending smoke passage or bore 7 is formed in the mouth piece and has communication with the stem 1. The socket member 3 is provided with the usual socket 8 for the reception of the cigar orcigarette` it being understood that the sockets in the holder are made of any suitable size for use with either cigars or cigarettes. The socket member is also provided with an integral nipple 10 at its inner end and the same is Eovided with a central smoke passage or re 11, whereby communication between the socket and the stem 1 is afforded. A metal ring such as is shown at 12 is detachably associated with the socket member 3, a portion of the ring being disposed within the socket and having the outer portion thereof engaging the outer edge of the socket member.

The nipples 6 and 10 are disposed within the respective ends of the stem 1 and suitable packing sleeves 13 of cork or other similar material produces a tight friction fit between the interior wall of the stem and the nipple.

In Figure 3 of the drawing, a modicad tion is shown wherein the stem 1 and the vmouth piece 2 are constructed integrally, the tubular stem being provided with the chamber 14 for receiving the absorbent packing material and the mouth piece 2 being p rovided with the longitudinally extendln smoke passage 15 which communicateswit y the chamber 14. In this instance, the outer the threaded nipple 19 of the mouth piece 2."

Figure 5 is a view similar to Figure 2, and in this form of theinvention, the nipples are tapered for frictional engagement with the tapered inner wall of the Stemat the respective ends thereof.

' In Figure 6 of the drawing, a still further modification is shown whereinl the entire device is constructed of a single piece of material, no intervening art or section being disposed between t e stem and the.

holder or socket member, the mouth piece 2 being further of considerable length and having the smoke passage or bore which ex? tends ngitudinally therethrough communieating with the stem. The absorbent packing material is disposed within the stem as clearly illustrated in the drawing. If desired, an ornamental sleeve or band of'mctal such as is shown at 20 may be detachably associated with the socket member.

In any of the forms shown in the draw'- ing, the absorbent pad may be easily insertedl or removed from the stem, in the forms shown in Figures 1, 2 and 5, either the mouth piece or socket member may be removed whereby access to the interior 'of the stem may be had. In Figure 3, the socket member is removed while in Figure 4 the mouth iece is removed for inserting or removin t e absorbent packing from the stem. In igure 6, the packing is inserted within the stem or removed therefrom through the socket member 3.

By placing the packing 4 within the stem l, the smoke wi l be purified before the same reaches the mouth of the user of the device, the packing 4 tending to remove the nicotine and other deliterious matter from the smoke before the same enters the smoke' passage in the mouth piece. vBy constructing the stem of a transparent material, the user of the device may at all times see the over-saturated'.

It is also to be-understood that the mouth piece and socket member may be constructed of any suitable material. The interior of the stem and socket member are circular while the outer sides thereof may be of any desirable shape such as hexagonal, fiat, square, etc., in cross section. Also the connections between the stem and the socket mem-ber and mouth piece respectively may be packed, threaded or frictionally engaged.

The simplicity in which my improved cigar and cigarette holder is constructed enables the parts to be readily assembled or disassembled and will at all times be positive and efficient in carrying out the purposes for which the same has been designated.

While I have shown the preferred embodiment of my invention, it is to be understood that various changes in the size, shape and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention and the scope of the appended claim.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim is An article of the class describedcomprising a tubular transparent stem, a mouth piece, anda socket member, each provided with a smoke bore, and a longitudinally eX- tending nipple, said nipples adapted to be disposed within the respective ends of the transparentV stem, and having their ends spaced from each other, a compressible packing sleeve surrounding said nipples and engaging the inner wall of the stem at the respective ends thereof for frictionally sesuring the mouth piece and the socket member on the stem, and an absorbent packing within the stem, the same being adapted to lill the empty portion of the stem and engging the inner opposed ends of said nipp es.

In testimony whereof I aix my signature.
