I, EDWARD WILLIAM WARRINER, of Attercliffe Common, Sheffield, Yorkshire,
Blacksmith, do hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows:-
This Invention relates to an improved means of applying lids or covers to tobacco
pipes or other articles in which it is of advantage to have the facility of readily
removing and re-applying the lid, such, for instance, as when required to clean the
bowl of a tobacco pipe.
To this end, the Invention consists in hinging the cover to a clip-like carrier, which
is formed with a hinged part or parts adapted to co-act with the hinged part or parts
of the cover, and with opposite depending parts adapted to engage with the inner and
outer sides of the bowl of the pipe or of the side of the other article to which the
cover is applied, so as to grip the same between them sufficiently tightly to maintain
the lid in position until it is required to be removed, and yet to allow of the cover
being pulled and readily removed from the bowl of the pipe or other article, when
required.
By such means, the bowl can be freed from the encumbrance of the cover, and can
be readily cleaned, and still the pipe will have the advantage, appreciated by so many
in windy weather, of a lid or cover to the bowl:
I, EDWARD WILLIAM WARRINER, of Attercliffe Common, Sheffield, Yorkshire,
Blacksmith, 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 an improved means of applying lids or covers to tobacco
pipes and other articles in which it is of advantage to have the facility of readily
removing and re-applying the lid or cover.
The Invention is particularly applicable to tobacco-pipe covers, in enabling the same
to be readily removed, so enabling the pipe-bowl to be readily cleaned, while retaining
the advantage of having a lid or cover to the bowl, though it is also applicable to

page_text: covers for pitchers, jugs, pans and other articles having lids or covers which it may be
desirable to occasionally remove.
The Invention is represented on the accompanying drawings as applied to a
pipe-cover.
Fig. 1, represents a sectional elevation, showing the cover closed. Fig. 2, represents
a plan, showing the cover open; and Fig. 3, represents an under plan of the cover
reinoved from the pipe-bowl.
To the end aforesaid, the Invention consists in hinging the cover a, to a clip-like
carrier b, which is formed with a hinge-part or parts 61, adapted to co-act with a
hinge-part or parts a¹ of the cover, and with opposite depending parts b, adapted to
engage with the inner and outer sides c¹, of the bowl c, of the pipe or of the side of
the pitcher, jug, pan or other article to which the cover is applied, so as to grip the
same between them (vide Fig. 1,) sufficiently tightly to maintain the lid in position
until it is required to be removed, and yet to allow of the carrier and cover being
pulled and readily removed from the pipe-bowl or other article, when required.
By such means, the pipe-bowl (for example) when required to be cleaned, can be
readily freed from the encumbrance of the cover, and can then be readily cleaned, and
the pipe cover can be as readily replaced, when the pipe will have the advantage,
appreciated by so many, especially in windy.weather, of having a lid or cover to the
bowl.
In applying the Invention to a pipe-cover or other relatively small article, one pair
of opposite gripping parts 62, will suffice to securely hold the cover, but, when applying
the same to a jug or other relatively large article, the carrier may be formed with two
or more pairs of such gripping parts.
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 :-
1. The herein before described improved means of applying lids or covers to tobacco
pipes and other articles in which it is of advantage to have the facility of readily
removing and re-applying the lid or cover.
2. In combination, a lid and a carrier formed with a gripping part or parts
consisting of opposite parts to engage with the sides of a pipe-bowl or other article,
the cover and such gripping part or parts being hinged together, as set forth.
