COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Arrangements for Fitting Tobacco-pipes or Cigar-holders in
Walking-sticks.
I, HUGO WINDMÜLLER Merchant of Berlin in Germany Wählerstrasse 17 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 :-
My invention relates to arrangements which enable. a tobacco-pipe or cigar-
holder to be placed into a walking-stick. These arrangements consist in a suitable
cavity underneath the head or handle of the stick into which the pipe or cigar
holder is to be placed, and in the removability of the stem from the side of the
head of the pipe or cigar-holder having a boring in its bottom into which the stem
may be stuck or screwed.
In the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1 shows the head A of a cigar-holder or tobacco-pipe with the stem B side-
wards in the same; the latter can be unscrewed from the side-parts and screwed
into a boring a in the bottom of the pipe-head, so that the stem will have the
position as dotted in Fig. 1.
Fig. 2 demonstrates the tobacco pipe or cigar holder with the stem B fastened to
the bottom of the pipe-head placed in the hollow or cavity of a walking stick C,
the latter being covered with cap D, the exterior of which is formed knob-like,
serving as handle of the stick.
In order to avoid a rattling of the pipe or cigar holder in the stick the head A of
the same is nearly embraced, and, to enable the pipe or cigar holder to be removed
easily, it is advisable to form and dimensionize the cavity thus, that the pipe-
head (or cigar-holder-head) projects from the same when the handle is taken from
the stick.
In Fig. 2 the arrangement of the stick is demonstrated in such a manner that the
pipe-head A is enclosed by a metallic-box E fitted to the stick; however, this is
not absolutely necessary, for the stick may itself be thick enough and sufficiently
hollowed to take up the pipe-head.
Under circumstances the stick may be hollowed sufficiently by nature, to take
up a tobacco pipe or cigar holder; in such a case, to give the head of the pipe or
cigar holder a support, it would only be necessary to place a small holed metal-
plate or plug into the hollow of the stick.
For the fastening of the cap-like handle on the stick, an arrangement as usually
used for locking bayonets may be adapted; a demonstration of the latter, being
superfluous, has been left out of the drawing.
It may under circumstances be found dispensable to fasten the stem to the
bottom of the pipe-head for stowing the pipe (or cigar holder) into the hollow of
the stick, for the stem may also be independent of the pipe-head, loosely placed
there, a matter which I also claim as belonging to my invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
Arrangements for fitting a tobacco pipe or cigar holder into a walking stick,
consisting in a hollow or cavity of the latter being covered with a removable
handle and so formed that the stem after being loosened from the side of the head

page_text: of the pipe or cigar holder may be stuck axially to the cavity of this head below
the same and that this head is embraced closely, but projects when the handle of
the stick is removed.
