page_text: COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
I JOHN ERNEST JONES of 59 Park St., City of Bristol, Tailor, do hereby declare
the nature of my Invention for "A COMBINED 'WALKING' OR UMBRELLA STICK
AND SMOKERS' CASE OR 'HOLD-ALL' and in what manner the same is to be
performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement and the Drawings therein referred to :-
My Invention consists in combining with a 'walking' or umbrella stick a
cylindrical case designed to contain, in specially arranged compartments, smokers'
materials. The case or 'hold-all' is adapted to be screwed into place in the stick
towards the head thereof. The stick is preferably made hollow throughout and
closed at the lower end by a ferule formed to screw thereon.
And in order that my said Invention may be properly understood, I now
proceed more particularly to describe the same with reference to the accompanying
Sheet of illustrative Drawings and the Figures and letters marked thereon.
Fig. 1, on the accompanying Sheet of Drawings, represents a longitudinal view,
partly sectional, of one form of 'walking'-stick fitted with a case for containing
smoking materials, in accordance with one inethod in which my Invention may be
carried into effect. Fig. 2 represents a longitudinal section of the case as detached
from the stick and having the cover p of the lowermost compartment f turned
back on the hinge s. Fig. 3 represents a plan of the case, the cover A at the head
being turned back. Under the arrangement illustrated, the compartment a is
intended to contain matches, and the compartment b around it to contain cigarette
paper or visiting cards, or both. These compartments are fitted with covers or
lids as shown; the cover of the compartment a being hinged at c, and that of the
compartment b at c. The cover of the compartment b is secured when closed by
the spring i. The cover A at the head of the case works on the hinge n and is
secured when closed by the spring o to which is attached the stud or button o¹ by
pressure on which the cover A is released. In the compartment & may be placed
cigarettes or tobacco. The cover m of this compartment is made to slide partially
round on the body of the case with which it is placed concentrically, the bands m
at each end of the cover assisting to maintain it in place on the body.
In the compartment f may be placed a pipe bowl C, cigarette holder D and
cigar holder E. The cover p of this compartment works on the hinges and is

page_text: folded over the compartment f to close it, as seen at Fig. 1. The cover pis
designed to contain the stem C³ and mouthpiece C2 of the pipe C. The bottom
of the cover p may be curved at the edge which, when the cover is closed,
impinges against the bottom of the compartment b. The bottom 1 thus acts as a
spring clasp to maintain the cover p in place when closed.
Under another arrangement, the compartment a may be dispensed with, and the
compartment 6 divided by a central partition to contain matches on one side and
cigarette paper or visiting cards on the other. The covers might, under this
modification, be made to work from a central hinge formed at the top of the
partition.
b
Under another modification, the cover or lid of the compartment 6 serves as a
cover also for the compartment a.
In the chamber between the lower end of the case and the point of the stick
may be placed cigars, which, if desired, may be provided with caps or shields to
prevent damage from abrasion or rubbing. The ferule is formed to screw on at
the lower end of the stick to facilitate extraction of cigars or other materials from
the said chamber should they become wedged therein.
In carrying my Invention into effect I do not confine myself to the precise
arrangement of the different compartments constituting the case or 'hold-all' as
bereinbefore described and shown on the Drawings. It may be raised as desired,
and adapted to sticks having crutch or cruciform or other shaped handles or heads.
Various materials may be used in the construction of the case or 'hold-all.'
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is-
•
The combination of the case, constructed according to requirement and principally
designed to hold smoking materials, and a 'walking' or umbrella stick, sub-
stantially as herein before described and illustrated in the accompanying Sheet
of Drawings, or any new modification thereof.
