HARRY ALEXANDER, 0F ALLENTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA.
CIGARETTE.
Application filed March 27, 1926. Serial No. 97,976.
This invention relates particularly to cigarettes characterized by an asbestos or analogous non-combustible vehicle in lieu of the ordinary rice paper commonly used.
a Inasmuch as a non-combustible paper vehicle is used a large quantity of ashes will accumulate therein while smoking and means must be provided to prevent the unpremeditated discharge of the same. Cigarettes of this character have never met with commercial success either because no means was provided to prevent the escape of ashes or.
because the expedient provided was either ineffective in practical use or rendered the cigarette too expensive to manufacture.
It is therefore the primary'object of my invention to provide an effective means for arresting the dropping of ashes which will not interfere with the draft through the cigarette; one which will not increase the price of the vehicle. and one which will not render prohibitive the cost of filling the vehicle with tobacco.
Further. the invention contemplates a cigarette of this kind having end formations which are duplicates.that is with an ash obstruction at each end. these being so formed that the obstruction at the mouth end will remain in position to prevent even granular tobacco from passing into the smokers mouth no matter if subjected to a very heavy draft.
A better understanding of the invention will be had by reference to the accompanyingdrawing wherein,
Referring specifically to the drawing the asbestos or analogous tubular vehicle is denoted at 5 and carries the tobacco 6. The
ends of the vehicle 5 are formedwith a plurality of flaps 7 and 8 respectively, and
these are tucked inwardly as shown so that 'wardl v slightly thus permitting ready lighting of the cigarette and a good draft therethrough. Ashes however, will be prevented from escaping in view of'the limited movement of the flaps.
At the mouth end of the cigarette the normal lip pressure, as shown, prevents the ends of flaps 8 from being drawn out by the draft. The tobacco is thus held confined. In Figure 4 it is illustrated how the flaps 8.at what might be termed the sides,+' buckle sufficiently to let the draft through but still effectively hold back the tobacco, even if it be of the granular variety.
1 Spaces 9, Figure 4, constitute draft outets.-
I claim as my invention:
A cigarette comprising a tubular noncombustible tobacco containing receptacle of relatively heavy flexible material, said receptacle having an end crimped inwardly so as to lie well within the receptacle body, the inward crimping of said end defining a plurality of connected flap-like folds the contiguous surfaces of opposite ones of which are in normal contact adjacent their inner ends whereby to confine the ashes and tobacco against dropping out, and said flaplike folds yielding slightly under suction from the opposite end of said tubular receptacle to permit a draft to be drawn through the cigarette while smoking.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
HARRY ALEXANDER.
