Description
Patented Mar. 31, 1942 UNITED STATES PATENT oFFlcE 2,278,319 ANTiBITE our I Clyde H. I'iarnaghan, Memphis, Tenn. Application February 12, 19471, Serial No. 378,525
(Cl. ISI- 170) Claims.
This invention relates to anti-bite clips for cigars; that is to devices which prevent or at least largely reduce the likelihood of a smoker biting the end of the cigar in two while he is smoking it.
Many smokers constantly chew on the cigar while they are smoking it. This rapidly attens and spreads the cigar laterally and tends to close up the smoke passageways therethrough and largelyincreases flow of nicotine and harmful juices into the mouth.
The objects of the present invention are:
To provide a device which will resist the lateral spread of the cigar, which will tend to preserve the shape and prevent or at least largely reduce the closing off of smoke passageways, and which will greatly assist in retaining the original shape, and to a large extent reduce the destruction of the cigar end due to such chewing.
A further object is toprovide a device of this kind which may be readily placed on the cigar for use, and after smoking may be as readily re- -moved and which when soremoved presents surfaces fully accessible for ready and thorough cleansing.
The means by which the foregoing and other objects are accomplished and the method of their accomplishment will readily be understood from the following specification upon reference to the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a cigar with the clip attached thereto. v
Fig. 2 yis a plan View of a slightly modified form of the device.
Fig. 3 a corresponding side elevation; and
Fig. 4 an end elevation, all of the sametype.
Fig. 5 is an end elevation; and Fig. 6 a side elevation showing a further modification of one end of the clip.
Referring now to the drawing in which the various parts are indicated by numerals:
The clip in its simplest form comprises a single piece of wire bent at its mid portion to form a loop II adapted to conformingly overlie the mouth end I3 of a cigar, closely adjacent such end. From this loop inclined portions I5 of the wire extend forwardly and downwardly and spread apart to approximately the diameter of the cigar, and are thence bent and continued horizontally along substantially parallel lines as" if so abutted may be secured together as by solarcuately and inwardly curved to conform substantially'to the shape of the lower half of the cigar, these end portions, if desired, being joined together as by hooks 2|. l-
Figs. 2, 3 and 4 disclose a device lsubstantially the same shape as that above described, except that the two end portions IS-A curve into adjacency or may even abut, but are not necessarily secured together. These views also disclose a covering, as of rubber, over the loop II-A and the inclined and side portions IS-A and Il-A. This covering preferably terminates substantially at the points where the sides I'I-A are bent downward to form the end portions IS-A, but it will be understood that if desired it may be continued to partially or even fully enclose such end portions.
Figs. 5 and 6 disclose a structure quite similar to that shown in Figs. 2, 3 and 4, except that the end portions IS-B, I9-C are overlapped and extended around the opposite sides of the cigar and help to resist tendency of the side portions Il-A to spread apart.
It will be understood also that the abutting end portions IB-A may be closely abutted and dering, brazing or the like, or that other means might be used if securing together be deemed absolutely necessary.
In use the loop I l is engaged over the cigar adjacent the butt end and the opposite end of the clip moved upward until the curved end portions I9 engage the under side of the cigar, this action disposing the side portions I'I of the clip in frictional clamping engagement along the opposite sides of the cigar and in spread resisting position with regard to such sides.
The wire of which the clip is formed need not necessarily be of circular cross section and may be of meta-l or of other material such as Bakelite, hard rubber or plastic material and if of such, latter materials the clips may be formed by bending as are the metal wire clips, or they conceivably may be cast in suitably designed molds. It will be distinctly understood that the term wire or wire like strip used hereinafter in the claims, refers not only to metal wire but als to wire of any such other materials.
I'claim:
1. A cigar clip, formed of a length of wire, said clip comprising opposite side portions adapted to lie along and frictionally clamp against diametrically opposite sides of the butt end of a cigar, said side portions rearwardly converging upwardly and inwardly to an integral loop portion adapted to overlie said cigar, and forwardly having respectively each an end portion downwardly bent and inwardly curved, and adapted to underlie said cigar.
2. A cigar clip formed of a wire like strip, said clip comprising opposite side portions adapted to lie along and frictionally clamp against diametrically opposite sides of the butt end of a cigar, said side portions rearwardly converging upwardly and inwardly to an integral loop portion adapted to overlie said cigar, and forwardly having respectively each an end portion downwardly bent and inwardly curved, and adapted to underlie said cigar.
3. A cigar clip, formed of a length of wire, said clip comprising opposite side portions adapted to lie along and frictionally clamp against diametrically opposite sides of the butt end .of a cigar, said side portions rearwardly converging up.- wardly and inwardly to an integral loop portion adapted to overlie said cigar, and forwardly having respectively each an end portion downwardly bent and inwardly curved and adapted to underlie said cigar, at least the side portions of said clip having an insulating covering.
4. A cigar clip, formed of a length of wire, said clip comprising opposite side portions adapted to lie along and frictionally clamp against diametrically opopsite sides of the butt end of a cigar, said side portions rearwardly converging upwardly and inwardly to an integral loop portion adapted to overlie said cigar, and forwardly having respectively each an end portion downwardly bent, and inwardly curved and each upwardly extended in overlapping relation with the opposite end portion, said end portions being adapted each to underlie and embrace the under side of said cigar.
5. A cigar clip, formed of a length of wire, said clip comprising opposite side portions adapted to lie along and frictionally clamp against diametrically opposite sides of the butt end of a cigar, said side portions rearwardly converging upwardly and inwardly to an integral loop portion adapted to overlie said cigar, and forwardly having respectively each an end portion downwardly bent and inwardly curved andy adapted to underlie said cigar, said end portions being secured together.
