UNITED STATES PHILO B. TINGLEY, OE GLEN RIDGE, NEW JERSEY.
CIGARETTE HOLDER.
Application filed May 26, 1926. Serial No. 111,777.
Thi invention relates to a holder and guard for cigarettes, and has for an object to provide a device of this character which will prevent ashes and sparks belng blown about by the wind and which will also prevent fires catching from the lighted c1garette. g
It is also an, object of the invention to provide a holder and guard in which the guard is provided with means for automatically centering the cigarette in the holder when the guard is applied to the holder.
It is also an object of the invention to provide a guard which will prevent injury to articles should the holder be placed thereon while carrying a lighted cigarette.
With the foregoing and other objects 1n view, I have devised the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, similar reference characters being employed throughout the various figures to indicate corresponding elements. Inthis drawing,
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the holder and guard complete.
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section through the same substantially on line 2-2 of Fig. 1, a greater portion of the cigarette being shown in elevation.
Fig. 3 is an end view looking from the left of Figs. 1,2 and 4 and on an enlarged scale.
Fig. 4 is a section of'the outer end of the holder On an enlarged scale, the cigarette being shown'in elevation, and
Fig. 5 is a transverse section substantially on line 5-5 of Fig. 4.
Theholder comprises a body member 10 of any suitable material, such as amber, bakelite or the like, and the. usual mouth piece 11, and is provided at the opposite end with a recess or socket 12 for insertion of the endof the cigarette 13. The body is threaded, as shown at 14', for connection with a guard 15 which, of course, is correspondingly threaded, as shown at 16. This guard may be made of any suitable material. such as metal, bakelite or the like, and is foraminous throughout substantiall its entire surface so that i-t is provided with a large number of small openings 17 for entrance of the air required for burning the ci arette. These openings are provided with guards 18 on the inner side of the guard member 15, and they are inclined inwardly over the openings, as indicated, so
as to lie over the major portion of the openattached to the guard member. It is to be noted that the guard member 15 is of a sufliciently greater diameter than the cigarette that the walls thereof and also the smallguards 18 are always spaced from the cigarette and do not come in contact therewith and thus provides a free air space all about the cigarette. This is important as ,the contact of the guard member with the cigarette interferes with the proper burning of the cigarette and also causes a disagree able taste to the smoker. 7
At its outer or free end the guard member 15 is contracted, as shown at 19, so as to leave an opening substantially the size of the cigarette to engage the same only adjacent the outer end thereof. This is for the purpose of centering the cigarette in the holder and preventing its coming in contact with the guard member during the smoking operation. In applying the cigarette to the holder the guard member 15 is, of course,
removed from the body member. The cigarette is then inserted in the recess 12 and the guard member is placed over the cigarette and threaded to the body member. This operation of threading the guard member to the body member will cause the opening in the contracted end 19 to engage the cigarette adjacent the free end thereof and automatically center it in the holder as the guard member is threaded to position. It is preferred that the threads 14 and 16 be double or triple threads in order that only a partial revolution be required to apply or remove the guard member. s
The cigarette is now ready for smoking, and the application of a lighted match to the exposed end thereof will light the ciga- I rette in the usual manner and it will immediately burn, away from the limited contact thereof with the guard member at its contracted end while the match is still applied, and'therefore, the guard member in no way interferes with the proper burning of the cigarette. The coaction of the threaded connection between the guard member and the body with the contracted end 19 automatically centers the cigarette, and as it is not resilient in any way the cigarette remains in the proper position. Thus no special care is required in inserting the cigarette in the body as the guard member automatically brings it to the proper position.
In use the guard member prevents dropping of ashes or sparks and thus prevents fire, and it also prevents the blowing of ashes or sparks about by the wind. The small guards 18 protect the lighted part of the cigarette from direct action of a high wind and they also prevent to a large extent direct radiation from the lighted portion of the cigarette. This article may, therefore, be laid on a highly finished surface of a piece of furniture or a piece of fabric and will not injure it. As the guard prevents the dropping of ashes or sparks there is no danger of burning the clothes or starting fires even where the cigarettes are smoked in bed. A material advantage of the. threaded connection over merely frictional connection is that if the guard is hit against an object, where there is merely a frictional engagement it may thereby be canted to one side thus loosening or injuring the cigarette, or the guard may be loosened and drop off entirely, and furthermore, as indicated above, this threaded connection cooperates with the contracted free end of the guard to properly center the cigarette. The liability of the guard to loosen where frictional engagement only is used might cause it to be forced against the lighted cigarette by a slight blow causing the lighted portion to crumble and drop sparks through the openings and thuscause the very result it is intended to prevent, or, if it should fall from the hand of the smoker, it would be liable to separate from the body member and scatter sparks which would be dangerous, especially if dropped on inflammable matter.
Having thus set forth the-nature of my invention, what I claim is:
1. In a cigarette holder, a body including a mouth piece at one end-and having a recess at the other end to receive the end of a cigarette, and a foraminous tubular guard having threaded engagement with said body,
said guard being of a larger diameter than the cigarette so that the walls thereof are spaced from said cigarette and having an outer open end contracted to substantially the size of the cigarette arranged to engage the same and cooperate with the said threaded connection to center the cigarette in the holder. a
2. In a cigarette holder, a body including a mouth piece at one end and having a recess at the other end to receive the end of a cigarette, and a foraminous tubular guard secured to the body about said recess and of a larger diameter than the cigarette so that the walls thereof are spaced from the same to permit free burning of the cigarette, said guard having an outer open end contracted to substantially the diameter of the cigarette and arranged to engage it adjacent its free end to center it in the holder.
3. In a cigarette holder, a body including a mouth piece at one end and having a recess at the other end to receive the end of acigarette, and a foraminous guard secured to the body about said recess and-of a larger diam-.
cess at the other end to receive the end of a cigarette, and a foraminousguard having threaded, engagement with'said body, said guard being of a larger diameter than the cigarette so that the walls thereof are spaced from said cigarette and having an outer open end contracted to substantially the size of the cigarette arranged to engage it adja-.- cent its free end to center'it in the holder, and said guard having. portions of its wall extending inwardly from one-side 0f the openings and inclined over the openings to reduce direct radiation through the openings.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
