Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 180 words
A cigarette holder for outdoor use comprising a body having a surface provided with a pressure-sensitive adhesive for adherence to the clothing of the user, said surface being of sufficient area for firm adherence of the holder to the clothing by the adhesive, and a protective layer covering said adhesive adapted to be stripped from the adhesive, said body having an opening therein for holding a lighted cigarette with the burning end of the cigarette spaced from the clothing, said opening being of cylindrical form extending from a surface other than the surface coated with said adhesive, the diameter and depth of the opening being adapted for holding a lighted cigarette, said body being in the shape of a frustum of a cone having two plane surfaces transverse to its axis, the smaller plane surface being larger in diameter than a cigarette and containing said opening for the cigarette, the large plane surface constituting the surface coated with adhesive for adherence to the clothing of the user, the height of the frustum being greater than the depth of said opening.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 180 words
A cigarette holder for outdoor use comprising a body having a surface provided with a pressure-sensitive adhesive for adherence to the clothing of the user, said surface being of sufficient area for firm adherence of the holder to the clothing by the adhesive, and a protective layer covering said adhesive adapted to be stripped from the adhesive, said body having an opening therein for holding a lighted cigarette with the burning end of the cigarette spaced from the clothing, said opening being of cylindrical form extending from a surface other than the surface coated with said adhesive, the diameter and depth of the opening being adapted for holding a lighted cigarette, said body being in the shape of a frustum of a cone having two plane surfaces transverse to its axis, the smaller plane surface being larger in diameter than a cigarette and containing said opening for the cigarette, the large plane surface constituting the surface coated with adhesive for adherence to the clothing of the user, the height of the frustum being greater than the depth of said opening.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 177 words
A cigarette Holder for outdoor use comprising a body having a surface provided with a pressure-sensitive adhesive for adherence to the clothing of the user, said surface being of sufficient area for firm adherence of the holder to the clothing by the adhesive, and a protective layer covering said adhesive adapted to be stripped from the adhesive, said body having an opening therein for holding a lighted cigarette with the burning end of the cigarette spaced from the clothing, said opening being of cylindrical form extending from a surface other than the surface coated with said adhesive, the diameter and depth of the opening being adapted for holding a lighted cigarette, said body being of wedge shape having two surfaces converging to a lower edge and an end surface, one of said converging surfaces constituting the surface coated with adhesive for adherence to the clothing of the user, the end surface having said opening therein, the axis of said opening intersecting said adhesively covered surface, thereby spacing the burning end of the cigarette away from the clothing.
Claim 4
