PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tobacco Pipes and Cigar and Cigarette Holders.
ARTHUR HIRD 27 Kelvin Road Highbury Park London N. Commercial
Traveller do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in tobacco pipes combined with cigar &
cigarette holder. The pipe or case is cut in two parts & a complete clay or compo-
sition pipe inserted in the two halves mentioned, part of the stem of clay or com-
position projecting out of the pipe or case. The mouthpiece is made in two parts
each part to slide over the other & the thicker hollow end to slide over the clay or
composition pipe & the two halves of stem of pipe or case thus keeping the two
parts together. The top part of bowl or case or pipe can be secured by metal or
wooden ring thus keeping all parts firmly together. The interior of mouthpiece
will be tapered thus allowing the inner pipe to find its bearing thus making it air
tight. This invention is not confined to any particular shape or design.
Dated this 12th day of November 1890.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tobacco Pipes and Cigar and Cigarette Holders.
I, ARTHUR HIRD formerly of 27 Kelvin Road Highbury Park, London, but now
of 6 South Street Finsbury in the City of London Commercial Traveller 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:-
In the Specification of the Patent dated 2nd February 1886 No. 1537 is described
a tobacco pipe consisting mainly of four portions riz.: an ordinary clay pipe, an
outer casing made in parts and adapted to receive the clay pipe, a mouthpiece, and
fittings for holding the casing together. Now according to this present invention [
combine with an ordinary clay, composition, meerschaum or other pipe, contained
in and easily removable from an outer casing or jacket, made in parts, a mouth
piece of such a form as to serve when detached from the pipe as a cigar holder, or
a cigar holder and a cigarette holder, and when used with the pipe serving to make
a tight joint with the inner clay, or composition pipe and in some examples serving
also to hold the parts of the outer casing together.
In the accompanying drawings Fig. I is a longitudinal section of a tobacco pipe
consisting of an outer casing or jacket made in two halves (one of which riz.: Bis
shown) by a vertical longitudinal cut, of wood or other suitable material, an inner
clay or other pipe F contained in the outer casing and removable therefrom at will
to exchange it for a new and clean one, and a mouth piece E which is made of such
a form as to fit over the stem part of the casing and to hold its two halves together,
thus dispensing with the ring D described in the aforesaid Specification, and also
formed with an inner taper part E' which while making a tight joint in any portion
of its length with a rubber ring G on the clay pipe F also adapts itself for use as a
cigar holder.
I prefer as here shown to make the last part of it E2 parallel and to
fit well on the cylindrical stem parts of the casing so as to hold them together but
it might be made taper the whole length, the stem end of the casing being then
made taper to suit. The mouthpiece might be made to screw on to the stem part
of the casing, but I prefer the plain parallel form shewn. A is a ring which fits on
the bowl part of the casing and holds the two halves of the same together. The

page_text: part A may be of wood or other suitable bowl material, or of metal, and may be
made with a plain end to fit on as shewn or it may be made to screw on.
Figure 2 is a side view of the casing shewing the other half C of same and
shewing in longitudinal section a mouth piece made in two parts of which the one E
fits on the stem parts of the pipe case for holding them together, and the other
part Ex fits on the part E formning the mouthpiece proper. The parts E and Ex
when together form a cigar holder, and the part Ex by itself can be used as a
cigarette holder. The part E when used on the stem part of the pipe casing
forms with its conical interior tight joint with the rubber ring G on the clay
pipe F.
Figure 3 is an outside elevation partly in section of a pipe in which the casing is
divided into the part B with the stem and the part C, which two portions make up
the lower part of the bowl case, while the ring A forms the upper part of same and
unites the said two parts B and C by plain or screwed joint. The clay or other
pipe F is as in the other examples contained within the casing B C and the mouth
piece E. The latter may be in one or two parts as already described with reference
to Figures 1 and 2.
The casing and mouth-piece may be of any suitable and required plain or orna-
mental form and design.
The casing B C protects the pipe F from observation and injury but can easily
be taken to pieces by merely removing the ring A and the mouth-piece E, and the
pipe F can then be removed and exchanged as required or desired.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
First. In combination with a pipe casing made in parts so as to receive an inner
clay, composition or other pipe with joint ring on the stem, a mouth-piece fitting on
the stem part or parts of the casing and having an inner taper part E' for the said
ring to make tight joint with and adapted when made in one piece to serve as a
cigar holder and when made in two pieces to serve respectively as a cigar holder
and a cigarette holder, substantially as set forth.
Second. A tobacco pipe consisting mainly of four portions viz. an ordinary clay
or other pipe, an outer casing made in parts to receive the clay pipe, a mouth-piece
for holding the stem parts of the casing together, and a ring for bolding the bowl
parts of casing together substantially as set forth.
Third. The constructions of tobacco-pipe shewn on the drawings.
Fourth. A mouth-piece made in two parts or pieces serving respectively as a cigar
holder and a cigarette holder substantially as set forth.
