Claims2
A device for perforating the paper wrapper of a tubular smoking item, comprising several spring biased, longitudinally movable, perforating means radially situated under tension in a mounting means;
- said mounting means having a centrally located opening for receiving a smoking item;
- said perforating means being held in position by a circumferential spring loaded band means, which is in turn held in position by an outer housing, whereby the circular shape of said circumferential band may be circumferentially reduced by finger pressure to reduce the perforating means radially inwardly into said opening.
A device for perforating the paper wrapper of a tubular smoking item, comprising several spring loaded longitudinally movable perforating means, radially situated under tension in a mounting means, said mounting means having a centrally located opening for receiving a smoking item, said perforating means being held in position by a circumferential spring loaded band means, which is in turn held in position by an outer housing, said circumferential band means having a selected number of protruberances on its inner surface for engagement with said perforating means whereby:
- the relative distance between the smoking item hole and the perforating means may be varied, said circumferential band means being circumferentially reduced by finger pressure to force the perforating means radially inwardly into said opening.
