Abstract:

A cigarette holder in the shape of a hollow cylinder, one end of the cylinder being open (top), the other being close (bottom). The dimensions of the cylinder are approximately 17-20 cm in Length, and 10 cm in Diameter. Going the distance of the cylinder, and centered is a wire. The wire is attached to the inside of the bottom base and protruding up to the opening of the cylinder. Stopping short of the opening of the cylinder by between 10 cm and 1 mm. It is this wire that penetrates the butt or filter (if a filter cigarette is being consumed). The wire inside and the cylinder on the outside of the butt are what hold the cigarette in place. Attachment means of some sort are connected to the outside of the bottom. The attachment might me an adhesive of some sort, or Velcro, snap(s), suction, or by weight and gravity means. There may be a second cylinder added to the outside of the first cylinder solely for aesthetic and/or ornamental value. Obviously the second cylinder would also add extra flame resistant as well.
