TIP FOR CIGARETTES.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Aug, 23, 1910.

Application filed November 15, 1906. Serial No. 343,479.

. To all whom it may concern:

TRAUSF), a

ence indicate correspondingparts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a perspective view, showing a l icigarette equipped withone form of tip emymg my mvention; Fig. 2 is a fragment-ary section through the same, taken upon the line 2-2 of Fig. 1, looking in the direction of the arrow; Fig. 3 is a plan view v of another form of cloth blank of a cloth blank of which the outer jacket of the tip is made; Fig. 4 is a plan view of another form of cloth blank; Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing another form of tip embodying my invention; Fig. 6 is a fragmentary section through the same u on the line 66 of Fi 5, looking in the dlrection of the arrow; Fig. 7 is a plan view of the cloth blank used 1n making the tips shown in Figs. 5 and 6; and Fig. 8 is a plan view also embodyingr my invention. I 1

he bod of the cigarette is shown at 9 and the tobacco at 10. An inner jacket 11 of auze or paper encircles one end of the bodgy 9, and encircling the jacket 11 is an outer jacket 12. This outer jacket may be made of .various materials, such for instanceas a plain cloth blank 11 in which the threads cross each other at right angles, or the blank may have the form of a plaited cloth 13, as shown in Fig. 4. In the form shown in this figure, the longitudinal threads 13 are-arranged in groups and the cross threads 13 are also arranged in groups. The purpose of this arrangement is, by practically making the meshes lar er and stronger, to enable a comparatively t in material to be employed, the tip being given retiuisite strength by virtue of the fact that a arge number of threads make up each single mesh. Still another form 0 cloth blank is shown at 12 in Fig. 7, the latter form being provided with serrations 12 so and a resident that when the cloth blank is bent into annular shape and the serrations 12 are bent radially inward, the outer jacket 12 presents the appearance indicated in Figs. 5 and 6. The serrations 12 now project radially inward and prevent the ready removal of the tobacco 10, and also prevent direct contact between the tobacco and the ton smoker. the kind shown in Fig. 8 may' beemployed. In this cloth blank the

ends

15, 16 are unraveled slightly, and are also separated'by minute intervals so that they may be intergue of; the

spliced when the cloth blank is bent into annular form. This prevents the doublingofthe edges and also avoids the necessity for any sort of projecting ends or threads,

the band being, of the single thickness of the material used. I have found that when the body portion is made of silk the nicotin and other narcotic poisons of the tobacco do not pass into the smokers mouth quite as readi y as when other materials are used. 1 Besides this the effect of the silk smokers lips is far more agreeabl While I preferably make the outer jackets of silk, I do not limit myself to this material, as I may employ any other fabric -or substance suitable for the purpose.

Having thus described my invention I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. In a cigarette, the combination of a body portion, a jacket encircling one end 90 thereof, and a cloth'member encircling said jacket and said end of said body'portion immediately adjacent thereto.

2. A tip'for cigarettes, consisting of a cloth blank having its ends to make an intersplicing joint when said cloth blank is bent into annular conformity.

3. A tip for cigarettes comprising a body portion provided with substantially V- shaped serrations integral with the said 100 body ortion, being of proper size to meet around a cigarette. and said serrations being of proper len th to converge radially toward the center of the cigarette but being too short to meet at the center of the same. 05

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribin witnesses. N
