  • Patent number: 8857445
    Abstract: A bi-directional multiple-layer extension cigar holder comprises a receiving body mounted on extension tubes which are adapted for adjusting the length of the holder for holding different lengths of cigars. The cigar holder can be combined with a lighter, enhancing the use convenience. In addition, elastic retaining rings in the cigar holder which are used to avoid disengagement are big-area C-shaped plates, such that the assembly convenience can be enhanced, synchronously enhancing the effect of preventing the disengagement of the extension tubes.

  • Publication number: 20130020212
    Abstract: A one-way cigar tube with cutting function is adjustable in length by changing relative position of an outer tube and an inner tube. Furthermore, an end ring received in the outer tube is pressed against a groove of the middle connecting member so as to provide better sealing and positioning effect between the outer tube and the inner tube. Finally, a cigar cutter is removably assembled in the cigar tube, so that the cigar tube is not only capable of carrying cigar but also capable of cutting cigar.

  • Publication number: 20110302785
    Abstract: An automatic pop-up cigar cutter is provided with a cutting blade assembly including a blade in a cutting-blade-assembly receiving groove, and at least one cutting blade spring in at least one assembling groove. The cutting blade spring has both ends thereof pressed against the base and the cutting blade assembly, so that the cutting blade assembly can be pressed out of the cutting-blade-assembly receiving groove. The base is further provided with a control knob assembling including a fixing knob and a moving knob that are mated through a fixing cylinder and a moving cylinder, and the cutting blade assembly is correspondingly formed with a fixing hole and a moving hole. The fixing cylinder is smaller than the fixing hole and greater than the moving hole, and the moving cylinder is smaller than the moving hole. By such arrangements, the user can cut off the cigar with a single hand.

  • Publication number: 20110239467
    Abstract: A desktop cigar cutter comprises a cutting blade assembly which can pivot in and out of a cutting-blade-assembly receiving groove of a base, on the base is further provided a control assembly for engaging with the cutting blade assembly. Between the base and the cutting blade assembly is disposed an elastic assembly with both ends pushing against the base and the cutting blade assembly, respectively. When the control assembly is disengaged from the cutting blade assembly, the cutting blade assembly will be pivoted upward into a stand-up position under the effect of the pushing force of the elastic assembly.

  • Publication number: 20040072113
    Abstract: A multi-flame type lighter, comprising a housing, an ignition mechanism mounted in the housing, a supply mechanism mounted in the housing, and a flame outlet seat mounted in the housing. Thus, the supply mechanism only needs to provide a single gas supply pipe to be connected to the flame outlet seat, so as achieve the purpose of a multi-flame source, thereby simplifying the parts and construction of the multi-flame type lighter, thereby decreasing the cost of production and fabrication, and thereby facilitating maintenance of the parts. In addition, the multi-flame type lighter only needs to provide a single gas supply pipe and a single flame outlet seat, so that the volume of the multi-flame type lighter may be greatly reduced.

  • Patent number: 6341610
    Abstract: A cigar cutting device includes a rod with a bottom disk on an end and a kick member on the other end of the rod. A first tube with a first tubular blade is movably mounted to the rod and an operation disk is connected to the first tube. The first tube has a flange extending radially outward from the first tube and a second tube is movably mounted to the first tube. The flange engages with an inner periphery of the second tube. A second tubular blade is connected to the second tube and encloses the first tubular blade. The first tubular blade and the second tubular blade can be alternatively used to cut cigars with different sizes by moving the first tube and the second tube relative to each other.
