which it appertains to make and use the same,"
'reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to gures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specication.
This invention relates to a novel construction of cigar-piercing device, the main object `of the invention being to provide a cigar.-
piercing device of a simple, neat, and cheap construction, the parts of which are arranged in such a manner that they can be easily Inanipulated and the cigar pierced in the side at or near the end of the cigar which is placed in the mouth without the necessity of cutting away a portion of the drawing end of the cigar.
Other objects of this invention not at this time' more particularly mentioned will be clearly evident from the following detailed description of my present invention.
,The invention therefore consists in the novel cigar-piercing device hereinafter more particularly described,'and, furthermore, this invention consists inthe various .novel arrangements and combinations of the parts, as well as in the details of the construction thereof, all of 'which will be fully set forth in the following specification and then finally embodied in the clauses of the claim, which are appended to and form a part of this specification. The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which-' Figure l is a plan or top view of a cigarpiercing device embodyingthe principles of this invention. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section of the same, illustrating one arrangement of the piercing `1neans within the chambered casingof thedevice and Fig. 3 is aside view of the saine." Figli is a transverse vertical section taken on line 4 4L in Fig. 2; and Fig. 5 is a similar section taken on line 5 5 in said Fig. 2, in both instances looking in the direction of arrow Fig. 6 is a horizontal sectional representation of a cigar-piercing device-of a slightly-modiiied form of construction, and Fig. 7 is a transverse vertical section taken on line 7 7 in said Fig. 6 looking inthe ldirection of arrow y. Fig. 8 is a plan ortop view, and Fig. 9 a horizontal sectional represent-ation, of a ci gar-piercing device of another modified form of construction, but still 4embodying the leading features of my present invention. f l e Similar characters of reference are employed in'all of the said hereinabove-described `figures to indicate corresponding parts.
In the said drawings the reference character l indicates the complete cigar-piercing device, the same comprising a chambered casing consisting, essentially, of a pair of shells 2 and 3. These shells 2 and ,3 may be of any suitable configuration in outline, that herein shown being of a circular shape and the shells being provided with the' marginal iianges 4 and 5, respectively, whereby the "two shells may be'fitted over each otherin the manner of an `ordinary boX body and cover, as -illustrated in some of the figures of the drawings. In order that the said two shells may be .positively retained one upon the other,the one shell, as 3, may be provided in its flange 5 with a projection or projections 6, which is sprung into a correspondingly-placed opening or openings 7 in the iianges 4 of the other shell, 2, as clearly illustrated in Figs. 2, 4, 7, and 9; but of course it will be evident that the said shells may be provided with any other suitably-constructed holding or fastening means for positively connecting thetwo shells together. As will be seen from an inspection of Figs. 2, 4f, and 5, the shell `3 is provided" in its bottom with inwardly-projecting lips. orlprojections, forming suitable guides 8 for the purposes to be presently described. p Theseguides 8 are in alinement with centrally disposed openings 9 in the main bodies of the respective shells 2 and 3, said guides 8 being also in alinement with openings 10 in the iianges 4L and lof said shells, as shown. Slidably arranged between the said shells 2 and 3 and between each pair of guides 8 is a slide ll, each slide being provided with a suitable linger-piece 1.2, ar-
IOO
ranged within and extending from the openingf l0 in each side of the casing 1, suitable stops 13., being formed upon each slide ll to limit the outward movement of each slide and prevent its withdrawal from the chambered casing 1. Each slide 11 is also provided upon its inner end 14L with a suitably-constructed piercing member or needle 15, preferably of .an ovoid shape in cross-section, a suitable spring 16 being arranged between the stops 13 on the one side of the two slides, as indicated more particularly in Fig. 2 of the drawings. The tendency of this spring 16 is to normally force the two slides 11 in opposite outward directions, so as to bring the stops 13 against the inner and opposite surfaces of the iiange 5 of the shell 3, as shown, and thereby withdraw the piercing members or needles 15 under normal conditions away from the openings9 in the said shells 2 and 3.
The piercing device is used in the following manner: The pointed or drawing end of a cigar is inserted in either of the said openings 9 so as to bring this end portion of the cigar directly between the oppositely-placed points of the piercing members or needles 15. The device or casing 1 being held in the one hand by the placing of the thumb upon the finger-piece of the one slide and a iin ger upon the finger-piece of the other slide, pressure is placed upon the ends of the said finger-pieces inopposite directions. The two piercing members or needles 15 are thereby forced directly into the opposite sides of the cigar, the several parts assuming the positions indicated in the dotted outlines in said Fig. 2. When the pressure is again removed from the ends of the finger-piecesof the slides 11, the said spring 16 causes the parts to once more assume their normal initial position, whereby the piercing members or needles 15 are withdrawn from the sides of the cigar, leaving the cigar provided with suitable perforations in its sides, withoutnecessitating the cutting away of the pointed end of the cigar and still permitting a proper draft through the cigar and an enjoyable smoke.
In place of the slides 11, provided with the stops 13 and the guides 8, (represented in the construction illustrated in Figs. 1 to 5, inclusive,) I may employ in place of the said guides 8 suitable projections 17, which are struck up in the bottom of the shell 3 and extend into the chamber formed by the two shells 2 and 3. In this case each slide 11 is made with an opening 18, into which the projection 17 extends, as illustrated in Figs. 6 and 7, the said slides 11 being also provided with suitable notches `of these constructions represented in said Figs. 1 to 7, inclusive, the cigar-piercing device may be made as indicated in Figs. 8 and 9. In that case all the guides or projections are dispensed with, each slide 11 being provided with adownwardly-extending arm 20,
each arm being secured to the bottom of the shell 3 by means of pivots or pins 21, on each of which each arm 20 of the respective slides is capable of an oscillatory motion when pressure is applied to the ends of the finger-pieces of said slides. To return the said slides to their normal initial positions after the pressure has been released from the finger-pieces, a spring, as 22, is arranged between the two arms 20, as shown in Fig. 9, and the said spring acting to force a stop 23 on each slide against the inner edge of the flange 5 to limit the outward motion of each slide, as will be clearly evident. The construction and arrangement of the remaining parts of the said two constructions of cigar-piercing devicesillustrated in said Figs. 6to 9, inclusive, and not here more particularly described are the same as that set forth in the above in connection with the construction of cigar-piercing device represented in Figs. 1 to 5, inclusive. I The manner of manipulating the said two devices (rep-v resented in Figs. 6, 7, 8, and 9) `for piercing the sides of the drawing end of a cigaris precisely the same as thathereinabove set forth in the description of Figs. 1 to 5, inclusive.
I am fully aware that many changes may be made in the various arrangements and combinations of parts, as well as in the details of the do not limit my invention to the exact ar-` rangements and combinations of the parts as described in the foregoing specification and as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, nor do I confine myself to the exact details of the construction of the said parts.
Having thus described myinvention, what I claim is- 1. uA cigar-piercer for piercing'perforations in the sides of a cigar, comprising a casing, consisting of a pair of shells, each shell being provided with a centrally-disposed opening, either of which is adapted to receive the end of the cigar, holding-flanges on each shell, said lianges being provided with oppositely-placed openings, guides struck up from IOC IIO
one of said shells and forming an integral 2.
