Description
CIGARETTE Filed Sept. 7, 1940 INVENTOR Ira flLangdon Patented Mar. 16, 1943 UNETED STATES PATENT OFFICE CIGARETTE Ira B. Langdon, Stockton, Calif.
Application September 7, 1940, Serial No. 355,801
1 Claim.
' This invention relates in general to an improvement in cigarettes; the principal object of the invention being to provide a unique cigarette designed to effect slower burning thereof, and a minimizing of the nicotine content of the smoke which is drawn into the smokers mouth, together with a decided cooling of such smoke.
A further object of the invention is to provide a cigarette having means incorporated therewith to introduce fresh, cool air into the tobacco between the mouth engaged end and the burning end of the cigarette, in substantially even quantities as the cigarette is consumed.
A further object of the invention is to provide a simple and inexpensive device and yet one which will be exceedingly effective for the purpose for which it is designed.
These objects I accomplish by means of such structure and relative arrangement of parts as will fully appear by a perusal of the following specification and claim.
In the drawing similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several views:
Figure'l' is a side elevation of my improved cigarette, illustrating the air entry orifices.
Figure 2- is alongitudinal section of the cigarette on line 2--2 of Fig. 1.
Referring now more particularly to the characters of reference on the drawing, my improved cigarette comprises the usual tubular and elongated paper sleeve l filled as usual with compacted tobacco 2.
A plurality of quite small diameter orifices 3 are perforated through paper sleeve I in longitudinally spaced relation, and in the present instance these orifices are longitudinally alined, although they may be staggered circumferentially of the sleeve if desired.
A substantially diametral air supply passage 4 is formed in the tobacco 2 inwardly of and in communication with each orifice 3; these passages extending from said orifices to a point adjacent but short of the opposite side of the sleeve.
In use, the above described cigarette is smoked in the usual manner, but the pleasure of smoking is materially enhanced as the cigarette burns s1ower,and the smoke is cool, and not hot" or acrld. This is due to the fact that fresh air is drawn into passages 4 through orifices 3 and cools the passing smoke. With my cigarette, burning and irritation of the tongue and mouth is minimined.
As the orifices 3 and passages 4 are disposed in longitudinally spaced relation, and as the endmost orifices are adjacent the ends of the cigarette, there will be fresh air entry into the cigarette between the smokers mouth and the burning end, even though the cigarette is smoked quite short. It is to be noted, however, that the endmost orifices are spaced sufficiently from the corresponding end of the cigarette to permit the latter to be smoked from either end.
The passages 4 terminate at one end short of, and do not continue through the sleeve at such ends, for the reason that this would permit too great an inflow of air rearwardly of the burning end, and would interfere with proper draft. By terminating said passages as described, it is possible to have a greater number of orifices and passages lengthwise and for the purpose hereinbefore set forth.
The burning time of the cigarette, and the coolness of the smoke, will be controlled by the size and number of holes used.
From the foregoing description it will be readily seen that I have produced such a device as substantially fulfills the objects of the invention as set forth herein.
While this specification sets forth in detail the present and preferred construction of the device, still in practice such deviations from such detail may be resorted to as do not form a departure from the spirit of the invention, as defined by the appended claim.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and useful and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
In a cigarette which comprises a tubular and elongated paper sleeve, and a cylindrical elongated body of compacted tobacco about which said sleeve snugly engages from end to end; said sleeve having a plurality of circular orifices punctured therethrough in spaced relation longitudinally of the sleeve and extending along substantially the full length thereof, and the body having a corresponding number of Sep te a d Su stantially diametral air supply passages formed therein in non-communicating relation to each other, said passages at one end terminating adjacent but short of the exterior surface of the body, and at the other and extending to said surface, registering in communicating relation with corresponding orifices.
IRA B. LANGDON.
