ClGAR-PERFORATOR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters I atent No. 367,800, dated August 9, 1887.
Application filed Ma 's, 1887.
.To all whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, LE ROY W. FAIROI-IILD, of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cigar-Pei forators, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to cigar-perforators; and the invention consists in a novel construction of the device, as hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the perforator, showing the manner of using the same; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section illustrating its internal construction. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the cutting-tool shown detached, said views being enlarged to more clearly show the parts; and Fig. 4. is a perspective of the device shown in its natural size.
A great variety of implements have been devised for perforating or cutting off the tips of cigars, nearly all of which are more or less objectionable for the reason that when the eX- trenie tip of the cigar is cut or broken the wrapper is loosened at that point, and the filler is apt to become broken and looseat the end and to come away in pieces, which are It is to obviatethis objection and at the same time produce a convenient and efficient instrument that my present invention is designed. I
To construct my perforator I .provide a conical ring, A, of the proper size to fit on the end of the cigar, as represented in Fig. 1, this ring. having small holes a and 6 through its walls at opposite points, as shownin Fig. 2, for the knife or cutter to pass through when operated, and over the outer hole, 0, I secure a cap or shield, b, to protect the thumb or finger from the point of the cutter, and
- which also serves as a means for conveniently holding the perforator between the th numb and finger, as shown in Fig. 1. 45
I either the wrapper or filler of the cigar.
the space between the tube 0 and a shorter external tu be,a, while its outer end bears against a collar, n, pivoted loosely on the stem of the cutter, permitting the stem to revolve freely, while the collar a may be soldered to the section f of the outer case. Over these I place a tubular case composed of a tube, (1, and a tube, f, the latter being of the proper size to slide freely within the tube d, as shown in Fig. 2, the tube (1 being soldered or otherwise fastened to the ring A, and the outer end of tube f being closed and secured to the stem i of the cutter at or near its outer end, this being for protection and finish. W'hen thus constructed, it will be seen that by holding the implement between the thumb and linger, as shown in Fig. 1, and compressing it, the cutter i will be pushed forward through the holes e and e of ring A,and that its pin 0,working in the spiral slot h of tube c,will cause it to rotate as it advances, thus imparting to the cutter i a compound motion or movement, whereby it' is caused to cut a small clean round hole transversely through the cigar a short distance from its extreme tip, and leaving the tip itself unbroken.
The cutter i may be made of a small steel tube, having one side cutaway, as shown in Fig. 3, the edges and point being made sharp, so as to make a clean cut and avoid tearing It is obvious that this cutter may be made of a solid piece of steel wire,or that what is known as the twist-drill ol'the proper size may be used; but I prefer. to make it of a tube, as shown, because it can be more easily made, and the cutting part proper is thus left concave, and can readily have its edges and point made very sharp, so as to make a clean out without tearing 0r fracturing the cigar.
The advantages of this perforator and the manner of using the same will be readily understood".
I am aware that tubular punches or cutters have been arranged in cigar-perforators to be punched or pushed through the cigar, with a spring to retract the same, and also that a needle has been arranged to pierce the cigar longitudinally, and which could be made to have a slight twist or axial movement, and I do not claim such; but lam not aware that a perforator has before been constructed with a cutting-blade which was arranged to relate rally-slotted tube 0, and spring Z, allarrangcd [0 during its entire movement, so as to cut a to operate substantially as shown and declcan hole transversely through the cigar and scribed.
therefore, In witness whereof I hereunto set my hand \Vhat I claim isin the presence of two Witnesses. The herein-described cigar-performer, 0011- LE ROY \V.
