UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
SAMUEL MOTT AND WILLIAM A. STERN, OF NEW YORK, Y.
ELECTRIC CIGAR-LIGHTER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 250,C94, dated November 29, 1881.
Application filed April 25, 1881. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
.Be it known that we, SAMUEL D. MO'lT and WILLIAM A. STERN, of the city and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Electric Cigar-Lighters, of which the following is a specification.
A tine wire has been rendered incandescent by an electric current and used for lighting cigars. In this case the poles of the battery have been immersed in or raised from the exciting-liquid.
Our present invention is to avail of the electric current employed for electric lamps, and
to turn on or off the current by the aetot' graspandd is an insulating material introduced between and 0, either in the form of a hardrubber block, as in Figs. 1 and 2, or as a supporting bow or frame, as in Fig. 4.
The ordinary cigar-lighter is suspended by a flexible cord. We prefer to use the same,as at h, and to this the arm 7c, carrying the wires a, is fastened; and l is a handle, having an insulating-hinge, m,- a-nd n is an arm that will swing as the handle 1 is moved in handling the cigar-lighter, and close the circuit through the platina wires or strip a by the act of moving the cigar-lighter toward the cigar.
7 It is to be understood that one conductor is connected to the arm 70, and the other conductor, i, passes to'the arm n.
In Fig. 1 this cigar-lighter is represented as connected between the circuit-wires 0 and p, and it is to have the same resistance as one of the lamps, so that it may be used in multiple are without deranging the electric lamps. In Fig. 3 a leaf of platina-foil is represented between the bars I) c, to take the place of the wires. In Fig.4 the bars b and c and wiresa are shown as upon the arm n. In the diagram, Fig. 5, the platina cigar-lighter is represented by the helix a, and an electric lamp is shown at t in multiple are between the circuitwires 0 10. There is a resistance at r, with a key or switch, formed by the handle I, which, when it is in a normal position, short-circuits both the resistance r and the incandescing wire a; but when the handle is moved aresistance is thrown into the circuit sufficient to divert a portion of the lamp-current through the cigar-lighter and render the same incandescent.
We claim as our inventionl. The combination, in an electric cigarlighter, of wires or strips of platina or similar material, the supports 1) and c for the same,
- the handle 1, and circuit-closing arm and circuit-connections, substantially as set forth.
2. In combination with the line-wires in a multiple-arc system of electric lighting, an incandescing substance exposed to the atmosphere, so as to be adapted to lighting a cigar, a handle by which to move the cigar-lighter, and multiplearc circuit-connections operated by the movement of the handle to make and break the circuit-connections to the incandescing substance, substantially as specified.
Signed by us this 23d day of April, A. D. 1881.
