PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Cases or Covers for Tobacco Pipes
and the like.
We EUGENE HIRCH and ALFRED HAMLYN WILLIAMS, both of 9 Carlton
Road, Manor Park, in the County of Essex, Manufacturers, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
-:
The object of our invention is to provide a case or cover for tobacco pipes cigar
or cigarette holders, and the like, that shall be simple, cheaply constructed, and
which may be instantly attached to, or detached from, the pipe or the like, and
which shall be less cumbersome than the pipe casings now in general use, and it is
also designed to prevent tobacco ashes falling from the pipe or the like and also to
prevent "fluff" dust or dirt stopping up the same when the pipe is not in use or
when it is in the pocket.
In carrying out our said invention, we form a cap or cover of rubber, caoutchouc,
cloth or any other suitable material, preferably somewhat elastic.
This cap or cover is adapted to close or cover the bowl of the pipe.
A smaller cap or cover is also formed adapted to fit on the stem or mouth-piece
of the pipe and so close the same. These two caps or covers are connected
together by a strip or strips of rubber, cloth, or any other suitable elastic
material.
To apply the cover or casing, the larger cap is placed over the bowl of the pipe,
the smaller cap or cover is then placed over the stem or mouthpiece, the connecting
strip or strips keeping both covers tightly in their respective positions. Thus the
pipe may be placed in the pocket without fear of soiling the same or of dust or dirt
stopping up the pipe.
It will be seen that when the pipe is to be used the operation above described is
simply reversed, the casing folding into so small a space as not to cause inconvenience
by reason of its size whilst in the pocket.
Instead of the two caps or covers being made separate, and afterwards connected
together by an elastic strip or strips, we may if desired cause the whole to be
made in one piece in the course of manufacture or we may adopt any method of
producing our improved pipe casing substantially the same as that herein
described.
Dated this 28th day of November 1890.

particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of our invention is to provide a case or cover for tobacco pipes cigar

when it is in the pocket.
The accompanying drawing shews one of our improved pipe covers or case fitted
to an ordinary pipe and its application will be readily understood on referring to
the letters thereon and the following description.
In carrying out our said invention we form a cap or cover A of rubber leather
caoutchouc cloth or any other suitable material. This cap or cover A is adapted
to close or cover the bowl B of the pipe or the like. A smaller cap or cover C is
also formed for the purpose of fitting over the stem or mouthpiece D of the pipe or
the like and so close the same. These two caps or covers A and C are connected
together by a strip or strips of rubber cloth or any other suitable elastic
material E, E.
To apply the casing the larger cap or cover A. is simply placed over the bowl B
of the pipe, the smaller cap or cover C is then placed over the mouthpiece D the
connecting strip or strips E E keeping both covers tightly in their respective
positions. Thus the pipe may be placed in the pocket without fear of soiling the
same or of dust or dirt stopping up the pipe or the like.
The casing or cover when not in use folds into so small a space as not to cause
inconvenience whilst in the pocket.
Instead of the two caps or covers being made separately and afterwards con-
nected together by elastic strips we may if desired cause the whole to be made in
one piece in the course of manufacture or we may adopt any method of producing
our improved pipe casing or cover substantially the same as that herein described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :
:
First In covers or cases for pipes cigar or cigarette holders and the like the use
or employment of a cap or cover such as shewn in the accompanying drawing
adapted to fit over or on the bowl of a pipe or the like and another cap or cover
adapted to close or cover the mouthpiece of the same the said caps or covers
being connected by means of a strip or strips of elastic or other suitable
material substantially as herein described and illustrated by the accompanying
drawing.
Second: In cases or covers for pipes cigar cigarette holders and the like the
construction of a cover or case of any suitable material made entire or in one piece
and adapted to be used as herein described.
Third: The general construction of covers or cases for pipes and the like
substantially as herein described and illustrated by the accompanying drawing.
