JOHANN WILHELM Brasca, or nvnNsvILtniNinInNa `1 orennnrrnjnonnng f Application led `February 1, 1929.l Serial No. 336,894; f

The object of'this invention is to provide a cigarette holder having improvements yenabling the cigarette to be fed outwardly t when the stub becomes very short, so that 5 the stub may be consumed almost to its'eX- treme end; further, to provide an improved support which enables the cigarette holder to be rested on a table, desk, or other object, wit-h the cigarette in elevated position so that if the latter is burning, it will not burn the desk, table, or support; still further, to combine, in a cigarette holder, improved means for feeding the stub end of the cigarette outwardly and for supporting the holder when it is laid on any object.

The embodiments ofthe invention are yhereinaftery described, set up in the appended claims, and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which:Y

Figure l, is a side elevation showing one form of the invention, the cigarette being in ythe holder; v

Fig. 2, is a plan view of the rest of Fig. l; Fig. 3, is a longitudinal section of a modiioation, the cigarette being in the holder;

.'Fig. 4, is a similar view, they pusher having been advanced and the cigarette removed;

Fig. 5, is a bottom view; Fig. 6, is an end elevation of the construction shown in Figs. 3, 4, and 5;

Fig. 7, is a longitudinal section through the pusher of the preceding figures;

Fig. 8, is an end view thereof; Fig. 9, is a longitudinal section of a modied pusher; Fig. 10, is'an end view thereof; and Figs. 11 and 12, are front and edge views of the rest of Figs. 3 toy 6 inclusive.

The cigarette holder l may be of any desired yshape and provided with the usual smoke duct or channel 2, mouthpiece 3, and chamber 4 to receive the end of the cigarette; 5.

' The chamber 4 which, in the ordinary cigarette holder, is merely utilized to receive the end of the-cigarette is, in my invention, made longer than usual and in this chamber, there is located a feeder or pusher 6 which may be of tubular form, as shown in Figs. k3, 4, 7, 4k8, orl of ychanneled form, kas shownin Figs. 9, l0. Inthe first mentioned construction, there 'is aport or duct7 eX- tending `through thefeeder or pusher l6 from i end to end thereof so that direct communicationy is afforded between the cigarette 5 andthe yduct y 2 but in the form shown in Figs.9 and 10, instead of having a bore yor duct, there is'pro'videda channel 8 which is adapted to communicate with the duct 2.

The pusher or 4feeder 6m`ay be ofany desired `length andit isadaptedto slide inr the chamber 4. When pushed to the inner end ofthe chamber, theV outer end of said chamer is adapted to accommodate the: cigarette 5and-when the cigarette is for the most part consumed,fthel feeder or pusher 6 .is then adapted to'be yused to push out the stub end of the cigarette so that it may be smoked instead'lof having to throw it away.

Tof enable k,the feeder' or'pusher :6 to be moved 'within it'svcha'mberj4 and also to afford means forv supporting the Ycigarette holderin inclined position onra desk, table fory other Vsupportso thatfa lighted cigarette kwill not burnthe,t`able`or"support, means, isl fprovided which is susceptible ofV modification.

For instance, inFigs. 1f, 2, there is shown a supportfhaving a shanklorstem 9 vwhich extends through an Velongated slot l0 in the cigarette holder and has a. disc-shaped base 10. In this form, the cigarette holder l is supported in substantially horizontal position due to the area of the disc 10. On grasping the disc 10 the pusher or feeder 6 may be moved so that the unconsumed stub end of the cigarette 5 may be smoked, almost to its end.

Another formof operating and supporting 'i means is shown in Figs. 3, 4, 5, 6, 1l, 12, wherefi;

form of the support, the cigarette holder is s.

supported in inclined position when it is.

placed on a table, desk, or support. l

I am aware that it is not necessary to `employ a pusher or feeder of the length illustrated and described and that it within the spirit of the invention yto provide any means whereby the support 9-10 or 9-11 may be utilized to manipulate the cigarette and also used as a rest or sustaining means for .ed in holdin the cigarette holder in such position on a ta le or other object that the lighted end ofthe cigarette will not come in contact with the table. Y

What I claim is: 1. A cigarette `holder provided with an elongated chamber and a smoke duct communicating therewith and also having alon-k gitudinally disposed slot communicating with the chamber, said chamber being adapted to receive the end of a cigarette, a pusher provided witha smoke conduit and slidably mounted in said chamber, and a combined rest and pusher-manipulator having a shank passing through said slot and engaged with the pusher and provided with a Single enlarged thin piece disposed externally ofthe holder, and `lying in a plane crosswise of the length ofthe shank and adapted to sustain the cigarette holder in general horizontal position entirely clear of the support on which said cigarette holder is placed when not in use. Y

2. A cigarette holder provided with an elongated chamber and a smoke duct, communicating therewith and also having a longitudinally disposed slot communicating with the chamber, said chamber being adapted to receive the end of a cigarette, a pusher provided with a smoke conduit and Vslidably mounted in said chamber, and a combinedlrest and pushermanipulator havinga Shank passing through said slot and ren aged Withgth'e pusher and provided with er-holdconstituting a supporting base `a enabing the ,cigarette holder to be suspendgeneral 'horizontal vposition entirelyV clear o the support on which said cigarette holder isplaced when not in use.

n In testimony whereof Iax my signature.
