PATENT WILLIAM K. HOLMES, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
ClGAR-PERFORATOR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 745,846, dated December 1, 1903.
Application filed March 10, 1903.
Serial No. 147,104. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, WILLIAM K. HOLMES, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the countyof Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Cigar- Perforator, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The purpose of my invention is to provide a simple device which may be worn upon a watch-chain, if desired, and so constructed that it will perforate a cigar inserted therein simultaneously from opposite sides, effecting clean clear perforations whether the cigar be green or dry, and which will not crack or break the wrapper if the cigar be dry.
A further purpose of the invention is to so construct the cigar-perforator that in operation no pressure will be brought to bear upon the cigar except where the perforations are to be made and so that the particles removed by the cutters will find a ready exit through the latter and out from their outer ends.
The invention consists in the novel construction and combination of the several parts, as will be hereinafter fully set forth, and pointed out in the claims.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the cigarperforator, illustrating its application to a cigar. Fig. 2 is a horizontal longitudinal section through the device and a portion of a cigar, the latter being acted upon by the device. Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal section of the device, the parts being in their normal position; and Fig. 4 is a perspective view of one of the perforators and attached sleeve.
The frame of the device consists of a tubular body 10, the chamber 11 whereof is more or less conical, being wider at one end than at the other, and the said chamber is of circular contour, as is shown best in Fig. 3. The frame is completed by the addition of opposing tubular members 12, located at diametrically opposite sides of the body 10. These tubular members 12 are connected with the body-chamber 11 by means of channels 13, which are of less diameter than the diameters of the said tubular is shown in Figs. 2 and 3.
In connection with each tubular member or tubular arm 12 of the frame of the device a members 12, as
The device may be attached to a watchchain, for example, by means of a suitable length of chain 20, or it may be carried in the pocket and brought'into action whenever desired.
In the operation of the device the closed or Patentconical end of the cigar is inserted into the I chamber 11 of the body of the frame, the cigar being introduced from the wider end of said chamber, as is shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
The sleeves 14 are then grasped between the thumb and forefinger of one hand of the operator, and said sleeves are then pressed inward, or in direction of each other, until they are wholly within the tubular members or arms 12 of the frame, as is shown in Fig. 2,
thus bringing the springs 19 under compression and causing theinner or cutting edges of the perforating-tools or perforators to pass oppositely through the cigar Within the bodychamber 11, as is shown in Fig. 2, thus producing suitable apertures in the cigar, en-
abling the cigar to be smoked without its tip being cut off, and thus preventing the wrapper from being loosened at the tip end of the cigar.
It will be observed that when the perforators are brought into action they receive the material removed from the cigar, as is shown in Fig. 2, and as one. cigar after another is perforated the material entering the cutting ends of the perforators will force the material previously entered out through the outer end portions of the per-forators as soon as the sleeves 14 are relieved from engagement by the finger and thumb of the operators hand. It will thus be observed that the tubular perforators, which are in the nature of tubular punches, are self-cleaning.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters 1. A cigar-perforator, consisting of a frame comprising a tubular body having a conical chamber open at both ends and tubular arms extending from the said body at opposite sides, the interior of the arms being in communication with the interior of the body, spring-controlled sleeves held to slide in the arm members of the said frame, and tubular perforating devices secured to the said sleeves, being adapted when the sleeves are pressed inward to extend in direction of each other across the conical chamber of the said body, as and for the purpose set forth.
2. The combination with a frame comprising a body having a conical chamber open at front and back, and tubular arms'extending from opposite sides of the body, the interior of the arms being in communication with the said conical body-chamber, each arm being provided with an inwardly-extending flange at its outer end, of a sleeve having sliding movement in each of the said arms of the 'frame, each sleeve having a flange at its inner end for engagement with the arm in which it has movement, tubular punches secured at their outer ends to the outer end portions of the said sdeeves, the inner or cutting edges of the said punches being normally held without the said conical chamber, and springs coiled around the tubular punches, serving to normally hold the said punches in the abovementioned position, as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of tWo subscribing Witnesses.
WILLIAM K. HOLMES.
