WILLIAM G. BRIGGS, OF WINSTON SALEM, NORTH CAROLINA.
CUTTER FOR CI GARS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 11, 1906.
Application filed February 19, 1906. Serial No- 301,903.
To a whom, it may concern:
Be it known that 1, WILLIAM C. BRIGGS, a citizen otthe United States, residing at Vinston Salem, county of Forsyth, and State of North Carolina, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cutters for Qigars, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to cutters used for severing the tips or mouth ends from cigars; and the object of my invention is to improve the construction of such cutters and provide them with means for severing cigar-bands.
The bands now so extensively used on cigars are usually removed therefrom just before smoking by being slipped ofi' endwise of the cigar, cut with a knife, or torn. Sometimes the bands so tightly inclose the cigars that they cannot readily be slipped or torn off without injury to the cigars, and when a pocket-knife is used to cut the bands care must be taken to avoid cutting or puncturing the tobacco.
According to my invention I combine with a cutter for severing the cigar-tips a cutter for the bands, and preferably so construct the cutter members that a shear cut may be given by the band-cutter in the act of opening the tip-cutters, while a shear cut is given by the tip-cutters in the act of closing them.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my combined tip and band cutter, showing also how it is grasped and operated when cutting a cigar-band. Fig. 2 1s a side elevation of the cutter, partly section, in the act of cutting a band. Fig.
3 shows a local section through the pivotal connection of the cutter members. Fig. 4. shows a transverse section on the line a: m of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 shows a transverse section through the tip and band cutters.
In the embodiment of my invention shown in the drawings the tip-cutter is shown as comprising two members A and B, hinged together at one end and rovided at their opposite ends with suitab e handles or fingerrings. The member A is formed between its opposite ends with a semicircular recess having a sharp beveled edge a, and the member B has a similar recess and like beveled edge I). When the cutter is opened or the members spread apart, the tipped end of a cigar is placed between the cutting edges, and then by (lioringing the edges together the tip is severe D indicates a cutter for cigar-bands. It is preferably formed, as shown, in the shape of a finger having a tapered, but not sharp, outer end, a smooth under surface, and a comparatively flat inner or upper surface formed with a cutting edge d, cooperating with a cutting edge :e on the member A, so as to produce a shear cut on the band X. The bandcutter D may be connected to move with the member B of the tip-cutter in the manner shown in Fig. 3. As there illustrated, the pivot-pin c, which connects the members A and B hasa square head arranged in a square recess in the member B, and a squared outer end projecting beyond the member A, which extends into a square socket into the hub of the band-cutter D. A screw E having a large head, engages the pivot C and holds the parts in place, permitting the member A to turn :[ree y on the pivot, but causing the band-cutter to always move with the tipcutter member B. By this arrangement when the tip-cutter is closed, as shown in Fig. 1, the cutter D may be slipped under a band in the manner indicated without injury to the cigar and then by spreading the tip members apart, as shown in Fig. 2, the edges (Z and a may be brought together and the band neatly severed.
So far as I am aware I am the first to combine a cigar-band cutter with a cigar-tip cutter, and while I have illustrated and described the best way now known to me of carrying out my invention 1 do not Wish to be limited to the details of construction specified.
I claim 1. A cigar-tip cutter provided with a thin flat band-cutting finger cooperating with a cutting edge on the tip-cutter and adapted to pass between a cigar-band and a cigar, substantially as described.
2. A cutter for cigars, com rising tip-cutter members movable relative y to each other and a band-cutter movable with one of the tip-cutter members.
3. A cutter for cigars, comprising two outter members pivotally connected with each other having opposing tip-severing edges and one of which has a, bend-severing edge and a f In testimony whereof I have hereunto subband-cutting finger having a cutting edge 00- I scribed my name. operating with said band-severin ed e. v
