Improvements in and relating to Composition Smoking Pipes and
Cigar and Cigarette Holders.
I, ROBERT HENRY LAING, of 15, Gibson Street, Gallowgate, in the County of
the City of Glasgow, Tobacco Pipe Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of
my invention to be as follows:-
This invention has reference to improvements in and relating to composition
smoking pipes and cigar and cigarette holders.
According to these improvements the articles are manufactured from a com-
bination mixture of magnesia and china clay, or there may be added to these,
calcined bones or bone dust and flint or equivalent materials. These ingredients
are mixed with water, and then put through a pugmill one or more times so as to
thoroughly incorporate them together. The compound mixture is then ready for
being used to manufacture pipes in the same or in an analogous manner to the
method ordinarily employed in making clay pipes.
