Pipe-CharRer for smokers.


The smoker is aware by experience
that 1t is next to impossible to fill q
pipe from tobacco bag without the
use of the fingers, and there Is always
more or less waste accompanying this
operation. 1t is the Intention Of David
II. Allen OF Miamisburg, o., to pro-
vide device with pipe-charger so
constructed as to afford an easy and
convenient means for filling the pipe
without the necessity Of taking the
tobacco in the hand or spilling any OF
It, The invention consists OF double
cylinder, open at one end and having
a flaring flange attached to the outer
section. The fiange surrounds an open
ing in the outer shell and the inner
shell can be rotated to bring a sim
liar opening In register to allow the
tobacco to be poured into the cylinder
from the bag. which has been pre-
viously secured to the flange by tight
ening the gathering string. When
sufficient quantity has been poured out
the opening is closed by the rotation
of the cylinder and the contents Of tho
latter are then poured into the pipe.-
