'bottorn'view of'thesnuier ,arette out of thesnuffer.
Referring more particularly to Figure 1 of the drawing, the device comprises a body member .l provided with a suitable bore 2 preferably of a size slightly larger than the diameter of a cigarette' so that same may be readily slid thereinto and yet the amount of air to support cornbustion will be held substantially at a minimum. The inlet end of the body member is preferably provided with an outward ease of insertion of a cigarette thereinto. The lower end of body member i is also provided with a small vent 'passageway 4 which facilitates inserting the cigarette, and cleaning the apparatus by blowing thereinto through the vent opening, as well as the removal of short cigarettes which have :passed completely into the snuffer in the course of snu'ing or carrying.` Removal of the cigarette in this manner avoids injury to same and loss of tobacco incident to bumping the cig- The passageway also facilitates ventilation of the apparatus with removal of stagnant smoke and odors.
The slipping of a lighted cigarette, burning end rst, into the Vsnufer through the inlet end of same, almost instantaneously extinguishes same. Then by blowing through the cigarette, in either direction, the residual smoke contained by same will be removed so that it cannot adversely aifect the taste and aroma of the cigarette. blowing out, of course, is preferably conducted with the cigarette in the snuifer and same is facilitated due to the small passageway 4 in same.
The cigarette snufier may have a substantially straight bore throughout as shown in Figure 1, although same is not absolutely necessary. For instance, as is shown in Figure 2, at least the lower portion, and preferably the half of the snuffer bore which extends to the vent end, may be provided with This construction has the added advantage of lightly gripping the end portion of the cigarette dropped or pressed thereinto, a thing which facilitates carrying the cigarette in the snuffer and also prevents the cigarette from freely dropping out of the snuifer if the latter, with cigarette therein, is accidentally inverted. Tapering the bore of the snufier also has the added advantage Ofstillfurther reducing the air space in thesnuffer with resultant even quicker snuffing of a cigarette placedtherein. n
The bottom of the snuffer may be provided with a sloping portion E which terminates at passageway 4 as is shown in Figure 3. This type of construction still further ing of ashes or the like from the bottom of the snuier. The sloping portion 6 may be of various shapes, such as conical, variable taper, rounded, or the like, and the showing in Figure 3 is intended to diagrammatically illustrate all of these various forms. While the snuffer shown in Figure 3 has been illustrated with a straight bore, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to that particular construction, since a tapered bore, combined bore, or the like, may be used in similar manner, and to simplify the showing, it is intended that Figure 3 is to be considered as diagrammatically showing same.
A rounded snuifer when clined surface, will tend to roll off of same. A simple way to reduce this rolling tendency is to provide the snuier with a nat side 1 as is shown in Figures 4 and 5. Another way to accomplish this endinvolves the placing of one or more projecting members on the side of the snuffer. A
These snuffers may be made out of various materials, and preferably materials which, when fabricated. as shown, will not readily ignite or be seriously injured due to the insertion of the burning end of a cigarette thereinto. Metal, Wood, or some of the relatively non-inflammable plastics, may be used for this purpose. Wood is particularly suited for this use since it is easily Aobtainable'and readily worked to shape.

facilitates the blowtapered and straight i -After a lighted cigarette has been snuffed in the apparatus of the present invention, followed by blowing out of smoke contained in the cigarette and snuder,` the burned end of the cigarette will contain a substantial amount of charred tobacco which brings in the added advantage of adsorbing obnoxious odors caused by combustion or combustion refuse, thus again improving the taste and aroma of the cigarette when resmoked. While the present invention has been described in terms of snufiing cigarettes, it is to be understood that it is not limited to that, but rather it is adapted for use in snuihng cigars, et cetera, by merely varying the size ofthe snuifer to that required for the particular article to be snuied.-
Other modes of applying the principle of my invention may be employed instead of those explained, change being made as regards the means and the methods herein disclosed, provided those stated by: any o f the following claims or their equivalent be employed.
I therefore particularly point out and distinctli,r claim as my invention:
l. A method of the character described, which comprises quickly snufdng the burning end of an elongated body of tobacco by inserting the burning portion of same into a small compartment containing insufiicient air to continuously support combustion, andthen removing the free smoke from said tobacco by blowing through same in said compartment after the burning portion thereof has been extinguished therein.
2. A method of the character described, which comprises quickly snuifing the burning end of an elongated body of tobacco by inserting the burning end of said body into a small compartment closely fitting same and containing insufficient air to continuously support combustion, promptly removing the free smoke from said tobacco by forcing air through same toward the burned end thereof after extinguishing the burning end of same, and adsorbing at least a. portion'of the combustion odors in charcoal.
3. A method of the character described, which comprises quickly snufling the burning end of an elongated bodyof tobacco by inserting the burning end of said body into a small compartment closely fitting same and containing insufll:o cient air to continuously support combustion, promptly cooling and removing the free smoke from said tobacco by blowing air through said tobacco toward the burned end thereof after extinguishing the burning end of same, removing at least a portion of the combustion odors by means of charred tobacco, and Ventilating said compartment and elongated body of tobacco therein `while Vre'tarding the drying out of the tobacco within said compartment to an amount less than the normal drying of said tobacco if freely exposed to ordinary room temperature and humidity.
4. A cigarette snuier, which consists of a tubular member open at one end and provided with a small vent opening at the other, the open end of said tubular member being flared outward for ease of inserting a cigarette, the bore of said member being substantially cylindrical approximately one-half of its length and being of a size slightly larger than the diameter of a cigarette, the balance of said bore gradually tapering inward toward the vent opening end of the member, said taper being suicient to facilitate the gripping of the inserted end of a cigarette andthe holding `of same against free removal,
of roll-resisting construction. I
5. An elongated tubular cigarette snun'er which has a body member with a ared opening at one end and a small vent opening at the other, the bore of said body member being substantially cylindrical approximately one-half of its length and being of a size slightly larger than the diameter cfa cigarette, the balance of said bore vof the body member gradually tapering inward toward the vent opening of the body member. said v taper being sufficient to facilitate the gripping of the inserted end of the cigarette, andthe holding of same against free removal.
