UNITED STATES JOHN BAUDA, OF ROCHESTER, NEW YORK.

COMBINATION CIGAR SAVER, ASH RECEIVER, TRIMMER, AND SUPPORTING CLIP THEREFOR.

Application filed January 26, 1926. Serial No. 83,973.

The object of this invention is to provide a new and improved receiver for cigars that have been partly smoked and are to be saved for smoking at a later date.

Another object of this invention is to provide the receiver with an ash receptacle into which the ashes of the partly smoked cigars fall when the cigar is placed into the receiver. 7

Another object of this invention is to provide the receiver with a trimming attachment so that when the partly smoked cigar is to be smoked again the end can be trimmed off first to provide a good draft thru the cigar.

These and other objects of this invention will be fully illustrated in the accompanying drawing, described in the specification and pointed out in the claims at the end thereof.

In the accompanying drawing 2 Figure. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of the combination cigar saver, ash receptacle and trimmer.

Figure 2 is a side elevation thereof.

Figure 3 is an end elevation thereof.

In the several figures of the drawing, like reference numerals indicate like parts.

It often happens that the smoking of a cigar must be discontinued after but a small portion of the cigar has been smoked up. It is then necessary to lay the cigar aside or throw it away. The first can be done when a suitable storage place is at hand but this is not often the case, especially outside of the home. The device forming the subject matter of my present invention is to provide such a storage place that will be handy at all times to receive and preserve the partly smoked cigar for future use.

As illustrated in the figures of the draw ing the cigar recelving and storing device comprises a tubular receptacle made up of three sections, the end sections 1 and 2 and the middle section 3. Both of the end sections are adapted to telescope over the end of the middle section. In addition to this the front end section 2 is locked to the end of the middle section by means of the pins d and 5 carried on the middle section 3 and engage into the bayonet slots 6 and 7 provided on the end section 2. The rear end section 1 is adapted to telescope over the middle section for a considerable length in order to accommodate both large and small cigars. This rear end section'is held to the middle section after it has been telescoped the proper distanceby means of the locking ring 8. This ring is adapted to slip over the end of the rear end section after it has been telescoped over the middle section to hold the rear end section firmly against the outside of the middle section. TVhile this is not a positive lock between the rear end section and the middle section of the receptacle it is sufficient to prevent the rear end section from sliding off from the middle section keeping the partly smoked cigar against lpngitudinal movement within the receptac e.

The rear end section 1 of the receptacle is provided with a trimming device and for this reason the end of the rear end section 1 is provided with theopening 9. On the outside of the opening is mounted to swing the cutter 10. This cutter comprises a suitable knife blade which is pivoted at one end to the rear endsection 1 as indicated at 11. The other end of the knife or cutter blade 10 is provided with the handle 12 which is bent down over the side of the rear end sec tion forming a-spring clip 13 for the receptacle by means of which it may be clamped in place in a pocket in the manner of a fountain penor pencil. A suitable indentation 1 1 may be provided in the side of the rear end section into which the spring clip can engage to prevent its swinging to one side or the other and keep the cutter or knife blade 10 over the opening 9 to normally keep this opening closed. When itis desired to trim the end of the partly smoked cigar, the clip 13 is swung to one side to open the opening 9 as illustrated in Figure 3. The end of the cigar is then forced through this opening and the cutter moved back to its normal, position which in so doing trims off the portion of the end of the cigar that has projected through the opening. The cigar is then ready to be smoked again.

For the purpose of receiving and separating the ashes of the partly smoked cigar within the receptacle the front end section 2 is provided on the inside With a spring pressed washer 15. One or more holes 16 are provided in this washer as illustrated in Figure 1. Between the washer 15 and the inner end of the front end section is provided .a suitable expansion spring 17 which normally holds the Washer near the outer end of the end section 2. When the partly smoked cigar is inserted into the receptacle this Washer is yieldingly held against the ashes of the cigar and due to the slight pressure exerted by the spring 17 the ashes are cigar so that the receptacle; can also be used as a plain cigar case for one cigar.

I claim 1. A sanitary cigar receptacle "for partly smoked cigars comprising a tubular casing, anend section adapted to telescope over each end of said tubular casing, an ash receiver provided in one of said end sections, a Washer forming a yielding partition in said ash recelver to yieldingly engage the end of a cigar placed into said receptacle, said Washer havlng openings therein to allow the ashes to be forced therethrukvlren engaging the burned end of the cigar, and trimming means provided in the other of said endsections.

2. A sanitary cigar receptacle for partly smoked cigars comprising a tubular casing, an end scctlon mounted to telescope over one end of'said tubular casing, said end section having an opening in the end thereof, a cutting or trimming knife mounted to swing on theoutsideof said end section over the opening thereof, a handle formed at one end of said trimming knife, an extension formed on said handle and bent over the side of said end section "forming a spring supporting clip therefor,

3. A sanitary cigar receptacle for partly smoked cigars comprising a tubular casing, an end section mounted to telescope over one end of said tubular casing, said end section having an opening in the end thereof, a cutting or trimming knife mounted to swing on the outside of said end section over the openingthereof, a handle formed at one end of said trimming knife, extension formed on said handle and bent over the side or said end section forming a spring supporting clip therefor, a second end section adapted to telescope over the other end of said tubularc'asing', a Washer-mounted to slide Within said second end'jse'ction a spring interposed between said Washer and the inner end of said second end section, said spring being adapted to yieldingly hold said 'i'vasher in place in said second end section, said Washer having an-opening therein. p

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature. v I
