I, JOHN BARKER, of 5 Market Street, Thornton, near Bradford, Yorkshire,
Waste Dealer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to protecting cases or covers made of wood, bone, amber or
metal for the reception and protection of clay tobacco pipes such as are in common
use, and, are arranged to open and close for the removal and replacement of the
same.
The covers are divided, and may be made to open at the side or end, and are
secured together by screws or hinged as required according to the shape of the clay
pipe and cover for receiving same, so that by this arrangement, smokers may use
common clay pipes which when encased will be protected and have the appearance of
wood, bone, amber or metal pipes.

page_text: I, JOHN BARKER, of 5 Market Street, Thornton, near Bradford, Yorkshire,
Waste Dealer do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
This invention relates to the protection of clay tobacco pipes such as are in common
use by covers made of wood, bone, amber, or metal, and so arranged as to be opened
and closed for the removal and replacement of the clay tobacco pipe.
In order to explain my invention in detail, I have appended two sheets of drawings
marked with letters of reference. Figs. 1. 2. and 3 representing the elevation or side
view, plan, and section respectively of a clay pipe covering made according to my
invention; and Fig. 4 on sheet 2 a section showing a clay pipe partly inserted in the
cover with the mouth piece removed from the covering, and Fig. 5 the clay pipe
inserted into position for being secured by the closing of the hinged portion of the
bowl or head.
In the illustrations the bowl or head of the pipe covering is shown to be cut
through the line A and hinged at the bottom at D, which I find the most convenient
and economical method of making my pipe coverings; but the coverings may be
formed in two parts by cutting the same in a longitudinal direction as indicated by
line A¹ in Fig. 2: in either case whether cut as last mentioned or through line A,
the top of the bowl or head is held together by a cap E made to fit tight on the
exterior of the bowl of the pipe covering C.
The mouth piece F may be secured to the covering C by a tight fitting metal
ferrule H, as in ordinary wood pipes, the stem of the clay pipe B projecting beyond
the end of the covering C, which is enlarged in the hole or recessed for the intro-
duction of a ferrule G, made of cork or other suitable material inserted for the purpose
of preventing air passing into the interior of stem mouth piece F, thus forming an
air tight union or joint between the two.
By the introduction of a soft absorbent clay pipe within a wooden or other covering
made of suitable material, all the advantages and sweetness of a clay pipe are retained,
and the same protected from breakages, a sweeter and cleaner exterior preserved,
having the appearance of a pipe made of wood or other fancy material with which
pipes are generally made, and with the advantage of being enabled to replace the
core pipe at little cost whenever it becomes saturated with nicotine, or is otherwise
fouled.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :-
Tobacco pipe or smoking cases of wood or other material constructed in parts and
so arranged that clay pipes may be placed therein removed and replaced whenever
desired, all constructed substantially in the manner shown and described.
