An apparatus for projecting snuff or powdered tobacco into the nostrils. The apparatus includes a contoured nose positioning member, a normally forward and downward sloping lever member having two depressions therein for holding pinches of snuff positioned under each of the nostrils and a pivoted spring loaded striking member held in pre-operative position by a spring loaded pivoted restraining member. When one end of the spring-loaded restraining member is depressed it releases the spring-loaded striking member to pivot downward forcefully. The striking member hits the rear upward sloping end of the snuff projection lever member causing it to pivot downward quickly and its opposite end to pivot upward quickly, thus projecting the pinches of snuff into the nostrils of the user. A small mirror is provided to insure proper orientation of the users' nostrils prior to projection of the snuff.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention is a device for the projection of snuff or powdered tobacco into the nostrils of the user which is simple in structure, and effective and reliable in use.
It is built in the form of an attractive desk or table accessory.
It has a portable base on which all its working components are mounted.
At the forward edge of one side of the base is a vertically oriented contoured nose positioning member which the user places against his upper lip such that the upper contoured edge of this member presses against the base of his nose.
On the other side, near the middle of the base, a vertical mirror is provided to enable the user to view the correct positioning of his nose.
Immediately behind the vertical nose positioning member, is a downward sloping section of an elongated snuff projection lever whose fulcrum is non-centrally mounted just beyond the center of the base, the opposite end of which normally slopes upward.
The end of the snuff projection lever which is in close proximity to the nose positioning member has two circular depressions for holding pinches of snuff.
These depressions are spaced such that when the snuff projection lever is caused to pivot upwardly the snuff in these depressions will be projected into the nostrils of a nose resting on the nose positioning member.
Positioned horizontally across the rear of the base member are a spring-loaded striking member and a spring-loaded restraining member.
The spring loaded striking member is an elongated, spring-loaded, pivotally mounted bar which extends from its pivot block to a position over the rear end of the snuff projection lever.
The striking member has a spring under its non-striking end on the opposite side of its fulcrum such that it has a normal tendency to pivot downward to the snuff projection lever.
The spring-loaded restraining member is a shorter elongated bar pivotally mounted and spring-loaded such that it normally is in a horizontal position, and is longitudinally aligned with the spring-loaded striking member
