An Improved Tobacco Pipe Rack.
I, HENRY SKILTON Clarendon The Elms, Ramsgate, Agent, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This rack is constructed in part by means of a number of pieces of wood, bone,
iron, or any suitable material, of any convenient shape and size, all working on a
pivot at the one end. The remaining portion of each piece to contain one or more
holes for holding tobacco pipes. The pieces or holders when closed are seen, one
immediately above the other, and their holes in one, two, or more sets similarly
positioned, thus forming a rest for the least number of tobacco pipes; but when the
holders are opened out, then the greatest number of tobacco pipes may be
supported. The holders may taper, and be bevelled if required, to ensure an easy
motion and to avoid clashing. To the holders is fixed a bracket, bearing a flat or
proper side, with holes for nails or screws if desired for the purpose of adjusting
the whole apparatus to a suitable surface. This bracket is made with or bears,
two or more supports, which together with the above named pivot, securely
rivets, and keeps any number of holders in position, allowing them to freely move
to the one side or the other.
