CIGAR AND CIGARE'I TE HOLDER AND ASH RECEIVER 'F'iled Oct. 25, 1930 o o o o o o o o 0H0 INVENTOR Ge or e K/en/f I ATTORNEY Patented Feb. 21, 1933 UNITED STATES PATENT GEORGE KLENK, OF SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA CIGAR AND CIGARETTE HOLDER AND ASH RECEIVER Application filed October 25, 1930. Serial No. 491,239.

o rette.

Another object of the invention is to provide means for safely retaining any ashes or droppings from the cigar or cigarette so that fire or explosion starting from such cause may be prevented.

A further object of the invention is to provide the protector with a series of draft vents so arranged so as to properly supply oxygen to the burning cigar or cigarette and to pro- 0 vide means for the emission of gas or smoke from the interior during the intervals between the drafts produced in the cigar or cigarette during smoking.

With these objects in view the safety device consists of a mouthpiece having a draft flue and provided with a socket for receiving the end of a cigar or cigarette. The draft flue is provided at one end with a thread having a shoulder at the inner end thereof. The safety appliance consists of a generally tubular body closed at one end by a wall and having a draft opening in said wall upon the axis of the body.

The said body is provided upon its top side with a row of draft openings extending longitudinally of the body and the last mentioned draft openings are directed transversely through the body toward the longitudinal axis thereof.

In one form of the invention the axes of the said openings are disposed at an acute angle to the axis of the holder and the holder is of greater internal diameter at one end than the other and the openings at the top of the body are disposed toward that end of the body of greater internal diameter.

In another form of the invention the axes of the openings at the top of the body are disposed at-a right angle to the axis of the body.

A screen 11 of fine mesh forms a linin for the body 6 and said body is formed rom transparent material which is fireproof.

In the accompanying drawing:

Figure 1 is a top plan view of the safety holder especially adapted to be used for containing a cigar.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view thereof.

Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view thereof cut on the line 33 of Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a longitudinal sectional view of a modified form of the holder especially adapted to be used for containing a cigarette.

Figure 5 is a transverse sectional view of the form of holder as shown in Figure 4 cut on the line 5-5 of Figure 4.

The safety holder consists of a mouthpiece 1 having the usual draft flue 2 therein and provided at one end with a.socket 3 communicating with said flue and adapted to re ceive the end of a cigar or cigarette. The said mouthpiece is provided at one end with a thread 4 having a shoulder 5 at the end '75 thereof.

In the form of the invention as shown in inal axis of the provided at the inner surface of the larger end with a thread 9 adapted to engage the thread 4. The body 6 is provided along its top side with a series of openings 10 arranged in a row extending longitudinally of? the body. With the exception of the

openings

8 and 10 the body 6 is imperforate. The axes of the openings 10 are disposed at an acute angle to the longitudinal axis of the body- 6 and the axes of the openings 10 are directed toward the end of the body having greater internal diameter.

When the end of a cigar is inserted in the socket 3 of the mouthpiece and the body 6 is passed over the cigar and the thread of the body engaged with the thread 4 to such an a flue opening 8 extent that the end of the body comes in contact with the shoulder 5. .The openings in the body 6 will be at the top side of the device or that side which is at the same direction as one of the flattened sides of the mouthiece 1. Thus, when the mouthpiece is held the mouth the openings 10 will be upwardly'disposed or at the top of the device. When the cigar is lighted and as it is being smoked any ashes falling from the same will be retained in the closed lower portion of the body 6 and the air will enter the body through the

openings

8 and 10. Inasmuch as the body is of greater internal diameter at one end than the other, the air will have a tendency to eddy around the inner end of the cigar and within the inner portion of the holder thus keeping the ci ar in proper condition and preventing t e tobacco from sweatin The air passes through the lighted end of t e cigar and combustion is promoted.

Between the drafts the pufis of smoke which might come from the lighted cigar may pass out through the openings 10.

As the wrapper of a cigar is more liable to sweat than the wrapper of a cigarette, the axes of the openings 10 as shown in the cigar holder are inclined downwardly and inwardly toward the larger end of the holder so that the streams of air entering the holder will be directed toward the smaller end of the cigar, thus ventilatin the holder at the smaller end of the cigar an prevent the accumulation of moisture.

In the form of the invention as shown in Figures 4 and 5 the device is especially adaptedto be used in conjunction with a cigarette and in this instance the body 6 is cylindrical and the axes of the openings 10 are disposed at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the body.

Having described the invention what is claimed is:

A holder comprising a mouthpiece, a tubular body applied thereto and having an end wall provided with an opening located upon the axis of the body, said body being of greater internal diameter at one end than at the other, said body having at its side a series of openings extending in a row along the body, said openings having their axes disposed toward the axis of the body and the axes of the last mentioned openings being inclined toward that end of the body having greater internal diameter.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
