Description
.lune 30, 1936. F, A, HQWARTH TIP FOR CIGARETTES Filed April 5o, 1955 MQQQQM Patented June 30, `1936 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 'rrr Fon crGAnE'r'rEs Frank A. Howarth, Laurelton, N. Y.
Application April s0, 1035, serial No. 19,043 c claim. (ci. 1er-52) The present invention relates to an improvement in mouth tips for cigarettes, and has for its principal object the provision of a cigarette tip of low cost, being easy of application to a cigarette and of enhancing appearance, and substantially, of a moisture proof nature.
The present tip is intended to be made of very thin cellulosic material, highly colored, transparent, in some instances, and in many varieties of color, so that when a package, or carton of cigarettes are opened there may be presented to the eye a plurality of same colored, or multicolored, cigarette tips of pleasing appearance. Other suitable materials may also be used to make the tips, the principal features of which are that they be water-proof, easily formed into tips and applied to the cigarettes.
A further advantage is in the provision in a cigarette tip of an integral, self formed tobacco filter, whereby tobacco particles are prevented from entering the mouth of the smoker, and at the same time provide for free draft, in smoking.
A further feature is in the method of applying the tip to a cigarette and its subsequent affixing thereto.
The foregoing and other features of advantage will appear as the herein description proceeds, and it is obvious that modifications may be made in the structure herein disclosed without departing from the spirit hereof or the scope of the appended claims.
In the drawings.-
Fig. l is an enled view of a cigarette, in elevation;
Fig. 2 is a similar` view;
Fig. 3 is an end view of Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 is also an enlarged view of a cigarette, in elevation, showing the cigarette with a tip thereon;
Fig. 5 is an enlarged sectional view of a tip, taken on the line 5 5, Fig. 6, looking in the direction of the arrows;
Fig. 6 is a plan view of the tip, enlarged;
Fig. 'I is a considerably enlarged view of a fragmented, tipped cigarette with parts broken away, for convenience in showing; and
Fig. 8 is a fragmentary view ofa tool Afor setting the tip on a cigarette.
The cigarette mouth-piece tip is formed with a cylindrical mouth-piece portion i, Fig. 5, having an open, lower end 5, as viewed in Fig. 5, and having an inturned top, or capping portion 2, the center oi whichis provided with an integral, inverted, truncated cone 3, the truncated open end I oi which extends into the interior' of the outer cylindrical tip portion I and forms a smoking passage.
The tip may be made of a cellulosic compound such as viscose in solution, which may be colored, and by the use of a suitably shaped form as a dipping device for dipping into the cellulcsic solution, then withdrawing the. mould form and permitting the coated on solutionto dry, a shell like that shown in Figs. 5 and 6 Vis made, except that the end of the truncated cone may be closed by a head, not shown, which is cut off to form the end passage 4 of Fig. 5. The mould form, above noted, would of course be shaped like the interior of the tip of Fig. 5, and of suitable size.
The tip herein noted may be made by other methods and materials.
After the tip is completed it is applied to a cigarette, as follows; a plain cigarette 6, as in Fig. 1, has one end circularly compressed as at l, Fig. 2, leaving a stop ledge 8 therearound. The diameter of the compressed portion 'i is such that it is sumciently smaller in diameter to permit of an easy fitting thereon of the outer shell l of the tip.
In order to place the tip on the cigarette, a tool or punch, shown with a fragmented shank i0, and having a shoulder ii with a depending truncated cone like extension i2, is used, and upon the formed end of the shank l0 is placed a tip, which accurately iits said punch end ill-l2, and the tip is then pushed onto and into the compressed end of the cigarette of Fig. 2, in the direction of the arrow a, Fig. 7, the cone like central vent portion t compressing the core of tobacco in the compressed end of the cigarette in the direction of the arrows b and c, Fig. 7, thus expanding the compressed tobacco core 9, outwardly to cause it to 1i. ro. y grip the interior cylindrical wall of the shell l, and at the sametime the central bent portion @,due to its taper, will also become wedged in the core 9, and thus the tip is iirmly amxed tothe compressed core 9. If desired the compressed cigarette end i may be treated with an adhesive before the tip is mounted thereon.
By the foregoing arrangement, it will be seen that in addition to the decorative effect of the use of a plurality of different, brilliantly colored tip ended cigarettes, in a single package, the present tip provides for a smooth, substantially moisture proof, non-sticking mouth-piece, the application of which, to the cigarette, makes the mouth-piece end of the cigarette firm, locks the tip and cigarette in assembly and provides a siftprooi.' draft vent, for smoking.
What I claim is:
1. A tip for cigarettes comprising anl outer cig arette embracing shell having an open end, a capped end, and an open ended, truncated venting portion extending from said capped end into the interior of said shell, the narrow end oi said venting portion being innermost.
2. A cigarette having a tipped end, said end having a cylindrically compressed end portion and a tip having an outer shell engaged upon said compressed end portion, said tip having an inwardly extending tapered vent portion, the tobacco of the tip end oi' said cigarette being compressed by and between said vent portion and said shell to lock said tip portion on said compressed end portion.
3'. The method of tipping a cigarette with a preformed tip having an open en ded outer shell and an inner tapered vent portion, consisting in rst circularly compressing one end of the cigarette and the tobacco therein, to a reduced diameter, then sliding the outer shell over said reduced diameter and simultaneously entering said vent portion into the compressed tobacco zone of the cigarette Aand continuing the placement of the tip andthe compression of the tobacco in the compression zone until the tip is nally seated on the cigarette end.
4. A cigarette having on one end thereof a tip or mouth piece comprising an outer cylindrical member of reduced diameter which presses said end inwardly, and an inner relatively short truncated member having its wide portion continuous with the outer or terminal portion oi.' the ilrst member, said truncated member having in its narrow portion a vent. and said end of the 5 cigarette being pressed outwardly by the truncated member, whereby to hold the mouth piece in position.4
5. A tip or 'mouth piece for cigarettes comprising a tapered tubular inner portion which is ex- 10 tensible into the tobacco of one end of a cigarette, said portion having its narrow end innermost and being adapted to urge the tobacco outwardly, said narrow end having therein a vent, an outer cylindrical portion having its diameter reducedl so as to urge the tobacco inwardly. whereby the mouth piece may grippingly engage the cigarette end, and an annular cap portion integrally joining the cylindrical portion and the wide end oi said tapered portion. 20
6. A cigarette having on one end thereof a tip or mouth piece comprising an outer cylindrical portion having its periphery substantially flush with the adjoining periphery oi the cigarette, said end being pressed inwardly by said portion, an 25 inner relatively short truncated portion having its narrow part innermost and there being 'a vent therein, and an end cap portion connecting the wide part of said inner portion with said outer portion, said end oi' the cigarette being 3.0 pressed outwardly by the truncated portion, whereby to hold the tip in position.
