page_text: We,. KIPPAX BROS., LIMITED, of St. James Street, Accrington, in the County of
Lancaster, and LUKE KIPPAX, of 37, Colne Road, Burnley, in the said County,
Tobacco Pipe Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
j
This invention relates to certain improvements in tobacco pipes, cigar and
cigarette holders, and consists of an improved method of fixing the mounts to the
mouthpieces.
The mounts to which our invention specially relates are known as loose top mounts.
They are generally used with amber mouthpieces. They take the form of a clip cap,
and the only security they afford to the mouthpiece' is the clip embracing the end of
the mouthpiece. These loose caps or mounts are provided with a central projecting
screw (bored 'for the passage of the smoke) on which a second mount is screwed; and
into such second mount the stern of the pipe is inserted.
'Now, the loose top mount, which clips the mouthpiece, has a tendency to come
loose, and the object of the present invention is to remedy this evil.
We tap the bore of the mouthpiece with an internal screw thread for a suitable
distance from the end; say about three eighths of an inch.
We now make a small tubular piece of bone or other material about an inch long
formed with a small flange or head at one end and screw threaded externally at the
other.
The loose top mount is now placed in position, on and so as to clip the mouthpiece,
and the screw threaded extremity of the small tubular piece of bone or the like is
pushed through the bore of the small projecting screw of the loose top mount, and is
screwed into the tapped hole in the mouthpiece, thus firmly locking the same in
position, the head of the tubular screw coming against the projecting screw end of
the loose top mount. The second or central mount may now be screwed on the
projecting end of the loose top mount, and then receives the stem of the pipe or in
case of cigar or cigarette holders, the second mount may constitute the cigar or
cigarette holder as the case may be. In this case, the holder may be made of other
material than metal,

page_text: We, KIPPAX BROS., LIMITED, of St. James Street, Accrington, in the County of
Lancaster, and LUKE KIPPAX, of 37, Colne Road, Burnley, in the said County,
Tobacco Pipe Manufacturers, 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 certain improvements in tobacco pipes, cigar and cigarette
holders, and consists of an improved method of fixing the mounts to the mouthpieces.
The mounts to which our invention specially relates are known as screwed bard
mounts. They are generally used with amber mouthpieces. They take the form of
a clip cap, and the only security they afford to the mouthpiece is the clip embracing
the end of the mouthpiece. These loose caps or mounts are provided with a central
projecting screw bored for the passage of the smoke, on which a second mount is
screwed, and into such second mount the stem of the pipe is inserted.
Now, the loose top mount, which clips the mouth-piece, has a tendency to come
loose, and the object of the present invention is to remedy this evil.
We tap the bore of the mouthpiece with an internal screw thread for a suitable
distance from the end, say about three eighths of an inch.
We now make a small tubular piece of bone or other material about an inch long
formed with a small flange or head at one end, and screw threaded externally at the
other.
The loose top mount is now placed in position on and so as to clip the mouth-
piece, and the screw threaded extremity of the small tubular piece of bone or the
like is pushed through the bore of the small projecting screw of the loose top mount,
and is screwed into the tapped hole of the mouth-piece thus firmly locking the same
in position, the head of the tubular screw coming against the projecting screw end
of the loose top mount. The second or central mount may now be screwed on the
projecting end of the loose top mount, and then receives the stem of the pipe or in
case of cigar or cigarette holders, the second mount may constitute the cigar or
cigarette holder as the case inay be. In this case the holder may be made of other
material than metal.
The accompanying drawing represents a tobacco pipe provided with a mount con-
structed according to our invention.
A is the mouth piece, B the loose top mount or clip, which clips the mouth-piece in
the usual manner, and is provided with the usual screw extremity C. Upon this is
screwed the second mount E, into which the stem F of the pipe is fitted.
Our invention consists essentially in boring and tapping the mouth-piece, and passing
through the screw extremity C of the loose clip mount, the small tubular piece of bone
or the like G, screw threaded at its extremity H, so as to screw into the tapped hole
of the mouth-piece A, and furnished with a flange or head J, which abuts against the
screw portion C of the loose top or clip mount, when screwed up, and thereby firmly
locks the mouth-piece in position.
In a modification, the head J of the small tubular piece may be formed with a
short stem to fit or screw either internally or externally on the remaining portion
thereof, or that part screwed into the mouth-piece, or the head J may be loose and
screwed on to that end of the small tubular, piece, with which it is illustrated as being
forined in one piece.
In cigar or cigarette holders, the material of the receiving portion of such holders
may be formed and screw threaded, so as to dispense with, and take the place of, the
second mount E, but in other respects the mount may be constructed as hereinbefore

page_text: described and illustrated, or the head J of the tubular piece may be nicked at the top
for tightening by means of a screw driver or the like..
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said in-
vention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. The improved means or metho.1 of securing clip mounts to their mouth-piece of
tobacco pipes, cigar and cigarette holders, substantially as described and illustrated.
2. In mounts for tobacco pipes, cigar and cigarette holders, the employment of a
small tubular piece G of bone or other material formed with a head J to abut against
the screw portion C of the mount, and screw threaded at its opposite extremity to
screw into a tapped hole in the mouth-piece, substantially as and for the purpose
described, and illustrated.
