Description

p 9 1 v. G. ADES 2,998,820
CIGARETTE Filed May 1, 1959 Fig. 2 2 34 Fig. 4 18 14 54 68 INIVENTOR vioLA' ADES mum ATTORNEY Yiola G. Ades, 160 80th St.-, Brooklyn, N.Y. Filed May 1, 1959, Ser. No. 810,443 2 Claims. (Cl. 131-10) The present invention relates to a cigarette, and more particularly to a cigarette which at the selection of the use;l1 has either a plain filter, a flavored filter, or no filter at Many of the cigarettes presently on the market are either of the type that have no filter, or of the type that has a plain filter, or of the type that have a flavored filter. Thus, each cigarette manufacturer must make three separate types of cigarettes in order to accommodate the various tastes of cigarette smokers.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel cigarette.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a cigarette which at the selection of the user will have either a plain filter, a flavored filter, or no fiilter at all.
Other objects will appear hereinafter.
For the purpose of illustrating the invention there is shown in the drawings forms which are presently preferred; it being understood, however, that this invention is not limited to the precise arrangements and instrumentalities shown.
FIGURE 1 is an elevational view, partly sectioned, of an embodiment of the cigarette of the present invention.
FIGURE 2 is an elevational view, partly sectioned, of another embodiment of the cigarette of the present invention.
FIGURE 3 is an elevational view, partly sectioned, of a further embodiment of the cigarette of the present invention.
FIGURE 4 is an elevational view, partly sectioned, of a still further embodiment of the cigarette of the present invention.
Referring initially to FIGURE 1, the embodiment of the cigarette of the present invention shown therein is generally designated as 24.
Cigarette 24 comprises a cylindrical tube 26 of cigarette paper which is filled with the tobacco 28. A short, cylindrical sleeve 30 of a heavier paper has one end fitting around and secured to one end of the tube 26. Sleeve 30 is filled with a plain filter material 32. A cylindrical sleeve 34 of a paper similar to the paper of sleeve 30 has one end fitting around and secured to the sleeve 30. Sleeve 34 is filled with a flavored filter material 36.
If the user of the cigarette 24 desires a flavored filter cigarette, he uses the cigarette 24 as it is directly received from the package. If the user desires a plain filtered cigarette, he removes the sleeve 34 with the flavored filter 36 from the sleeve 30. However, if the user desires a plain cigarette, he removes the sleeve 30 from the tube 26. Removal of the sleeve 30 from the tube 26 not only removes the plain filter 32, but also removes the sleeve 34 with its flavored filter 36. Thus, the cigarette 24 can be used as either a plain filtered cigarette, a flavored filtered cigarette, or as a plain cigarette without any filter. Since both filters 32 and 36 are at the same end of the cigarette, the cigarette 24 has the advantage that one end of the tobacco 28 is exposed so that the cigarette 24 can be used directly from the package.
Referring to FIGURE 2, there is shown still another embodiment of the cigarette of the present invention, generally designated as 38.
Cigarette 38 comprises a cylindrical tube 40 of cigarette paper which is filled with the tobacco 42. A sleeve 44 of heavier paper has one end fitting around and Patented Sept. 5,
secured to one end of the tube 40. The portion of sleeve 44 which is adjacent the tube 40 is filled with a plain filter material 46. A relatively compressed body 48 of a flavored filter material is inserted in the outer end of the sleeve-'44. The flavored filter body 48 is of a diameter that it is held within the sleeve 44 by a friction fit.
Cigarette 38 is used in substantially the same manner as the cigarette 24 shown in FIGURE 1. However, if it is desired to use the cigarette 38 as a plain filter cigarette, it is only necessary to slide the flavored filter body 48 from the sleeve 44 so as to provide a recessed, plain filter cigarette.
FIGURE 3 shows a further embodiment of the cigarette of the present invention, generally designated as 50.
Cigarette 50 comprises a cylindrical tube 52 of cigarette paper which is filled with the tobacco 54. A sleeve 56 of a heavier paper has one end fitting around and secured to one end of the tube 52. Sleeve 56 is crimped in the form of a spiral screw thread. Sleeve 56 is filled with a plain filter material 58. A sleeve 60, also of a heavier paper, has one end portion 60a which is crimped in the form of a spiral screw thread to match the spiral thread of sleeve 56. Sleeve 60 is secured around the sleeve 56 by threading the threaded end portion 60a of the sleeve 60 onto the sleeve 56. The outer end portion of sleeve 60 is filled with a flavored filter material 62. Cigarette 50 is used in substantially the same manner as cigarette 24 shown in FIGURE 1. However, if it is desired to use the cigarette 50 as a plain filter cigarette, sleeve 60 with its flavored filter 62 is removed from the sleeve 56 merely by unthreading the sleeve 60 from the sleeve 56.
Referring to FIGURE 4, there is shown a still further embodiment of the cigarette of the present invention, generally designated as 64.
Cigarette 64 comprises a cylindrical tube 66 of cigarette paper which is filled with the tobacco 68. A sleeve 70 of a heavier paper has one end fitting around and secured to one end of the tube 66. Sleeve 70 is filled with a plain filter material 72. A sleeve 74, also of a heavier paper, is filled with a flavored filter material 76.
A pair of relatively rigid prongs 78 are secured to the inner surface of the sleeve 74, and project longitudinally from one end of the sleeve 74. Sleeve 74 is mounted in direct alignment with the outer end of sleeve 70, and with the prongs 78 extending into the sleeve 70. Prongs 78 have a friction fit with the inner surface of the sleeve 70 so as to secure the sleeve 74 to the end of the sleeve 70. Cigarette 64 is used in substantially the same manner as cigarette 24 shown in FIGURE 1. However, if it is de sired to use the cigarette 64 as a plain filter cigarette, it is only necessary to pull the sleeve 74 with its flavored filter 76 away from the sleeve 70 until the prongs 78 are removed from the sleeve 70.
The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential attributes thereof and, accordingly, reference should be made to the appended claims, rather than to the foregoing specification as indicating the scope of the invention.
