- the holding element comprises a sheet of flexible material which, roughly speaking,
- A'55 may be said to have a modified triangular form as (ol. k131-10) shown in Fig. 2. That is to say, the upper portion of the triangle 5 is truncated or cut off, the
- the major portion 9 of the base 6 is preferably circular and is drawn from the center 10.
- that portion of the holding element included between the radii 11 and 12 is a portion of a developed conical surface. Since the holder when rolled is conical in form and it is necessary that it be open at each end, it must be truncated so that, strictly speaking, it is frusto-conical rather than conical.
- the upper lefthand corner portion 13 of the sheet which-forms the periphery of the upper base of the frustum is also preferably circular and is described from the center 10 and is, therefore, concentric with the portion 9 of the base 6.

9 Claims.
My invention relates `Vto cigar and cigarette holders and more particularly to a device of this character which may readily be adjusted to receive and hold anything from a cigarette of the smallest size to an ordinary or large size cigar.
One of the objects of my invention is to provide a unitary device of this character which may quickly and conveniently be adjusted by a simple y manipulation thereof to receive and retain the particular size of cigarette or cigar at hand. An-
other object is to provide a device of this character which can be made cheaply and yet will possess those characteristics of lightness, rigidity, utility and attractiveness of design which will make it commercially acceptable.
With these objects in view my invention includes the novel elements andthe combinations and arrangements thereof described below and ,i illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which Fig. 1 is an assembled View of my device;
Fig. 2 is a developed plan' View of the element which directly holds the cigarette or cigar;
A, Fig. 3 is a plan view similar to Fig. 2 showing the manner in which the rolling of the holding element is started;
Figs. 4 and 5 show the holding element in successive stages of the rolling;
Fig. 6 shows the element completely rolled to Fig. 7 shows the holding element rolled to accommodate a very small cigarette; and
Fig. 8 shows the holding element rolled to Vaccommodate a cigar.
Referring to the drawing my device comprises but two parts, a mouth piece element 1 and a holding element 2. The mouth piece element may be of wood, hard or soft rubber, Bakelite, quill or any other material or substance suitable Y to the purposes intended, whether stiff or flexible.
It is, generally speaking, tubular in form having an opening 3 at one end adapted to receive and frictionally engage the smaller end of the holding element, and it may beprovided with the usual enlargement ,4 at the opposite end to provide a better grip thereon bythe lips or teeth.
The holding element 2 is of paper, parchment, textile material, or any other substance which can be made in sheet form and which possesses the es- 5l) sential flexibility to permit of its being rolled into the forms shown and, when so rolled, will have the requisite rigidity to serve the purpose for which it is intended. The holding element comprises a sheet of flexible material which, roughly speaking,
A'55 may be said to have a modified triangular form as (ol. k131-10) shown in Fig. 2. That is to say, the upper portion of the triangle 5 is truncated or cut off, the
2. The purpose of these various cuts and details will be apparent as the description proceeds.
The forming of the holding element is begun by rolling so that the edge 14 substantially overlies the edge 6, as shown in Fig. 3, the size of the circular opening 18 thus formed at the base 85 of the holding element being adjusted to or started at the proper size to accommodate the cigar or cigarette at hand. As the rolling progresses, the holder will appear asvshown inFig.
4. It will be apparent, particularly from a consideration of Figs. 4 and 5, that if the upper portion of the holding element 2 were not cut o, that is to say if the edges 7 and 8 were foontinued to an intersection 22, a continued roll- 'ing of the element 2 would completely close the 95 small end of the cone. In other words, the holder would be a complete cone instead ofl a frus'tum, in which case there would be no opening throughout the holder and it would be impossible to draw smoke therethrough. It is desirable that the holding element be truncatedby a plane perpendicular to the axis thereof and this object is attained by making the portion 13 substantially concentric with the base portion 9. When the periphery of the upper base of the cone is substantially a complete circle, it isrdesirable in the further rolling of the sheet that the remaining unrolled portion should not extend to any considerable degree above the square truncated top *19 (see Fig. 5). Hence, the edge 17 is so cut 110 (see Figs. 5, 6, and 8) that it forms on the exterior surface of the holding element a descending helix o1' spiral. From a consideration, particularly of Figs. 6, 7 and 8, it will be apparent that the base portion 6 of the developed holding element 2 forms a circular base for the conical holder and that the edges 15 and '7 form an ascending spiral or helix on the exterior surface of the holder. This helix ascends to the point 2o in a clockwise direction as viewed in Figs. 6 and 8, and from this point to the truncated upper base, the edge 17 forms a. helix which ascends in a counter-clockwise direction. Thus, the upper oi smaller end of the holding element is maintained open at all times irrespective (within the limits of the rolls for which the device is designed to accommodate) of the diameter of the opening at the large end of the holder. Having rolled the holder in this form it is insertedin the mouth piece element as shown iny Fig. 1 toforma complete holder. Since the mouth piece frictionally engages the holding element and secures it in rolled, frusto-conical form it is quite apparent that the termination, 20, of the ascending helix should be near the upper base of the conical frustum whereby it may be secured by the mouthpiece.
p When it is desired to adjustthe holder to accommodate another size of cigarette or cigar the holding element is merely pulled from the mouth piece, unrolled andre-rolled to the proper diameterandinserted in the mouth piece. No adhesive is necessary to hold the sheet 2 in rolled position, and when formed as described above and inserted in the mouth piece, it will be found substantially air-tight and well suited for the purposes intended.
Referring particularly to Fig 2 it will be noted that the portion of the element 2 included between the radii 11 and 12 is a development of that portion of thehfrusto-conical holder which includes the periphery of the lower base and a small portion of the periphery of the upper base. Adjacent this portion is that forming the pelriphery of the upper base including a point on the lower base, and that forming the spiral wrapping about the two first mentioned portions. The triangular portion to the left of radius 12 forms a tab or part for startingthe rolling operation.
While I have described my invention in its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that I am not strictly limited to the details of construction which I have described at some length merely for the purpose of clearness. For example, the essential features of my invention are a holder of flexible material which can be conveniently rolled to various sizes as shown in the drawing, and which when so rolled will form a hollow frusto-conical element in which the opening at the smaller end will be of such size as not to interfere withk the draft therethrough. It will be evident from a considerationof Figs. 5, 6, '7 and 8 that theangular relation between the edges 17 and may be varied considerably and yet not eiect a closure or an appreciable reduction in the size of the opening at the small end of the holder. That is, it will be quite apparent that the spiral or helix formed by the edge l may extend to a much greater height'in a clockwise direction than is shown in the drawing.
