PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and relating to Tobacco Pipes and Cigar and
Cigarette Holders.
1, WILLIAM WILSON HORN of the Firm of Horn Son & Co., Patent Agent of
151 Strand London, do hereby declare the nature of this invention (a communica
tion to me by Sina & Co., of St. Claude, Jura, France, Manufacturers to be as
follows:-
This invention has reference to improvements in and relating to tobacco pipes
and cigar and cigarette holders and consists in an improved screw joint between
the mouthpiece and the stem whereby the former may be fixed to the latter by
merely partially turning the one within the other to screw it home, but at the
same time without reducing the number of threads ordinarily necessary.
In carrying this invention into practice I form. the adjacent ends of the stem
and mouthpiece respectively with an inner and outer screw thread in the ordinary
manner and I next cut two or more corresponding grooves in both said inner and
outer threads so that I may push the threaus remaining on the mouthpiece end
through the grooves in the stem part and when the said mouthpiece is pushed
home I merely give a partial turn when all the threads will engage and the mouth-
piece thereby becomes firmly attached to the stem.
Dated this 5th day of December 1896.

portions a¹ of each of said screw threaded parts so that the projecting and threaded
portions of the mouthpiece may be pushed into the cut away parts a¹ of the stem
and vice versa and when the mouthpiece has been entered into the stem as described
and is turned say one third of a revolution the threads of both parts will interlock
The parts being fixed in a similar manner to the breetch in breetch loading guns.
I do not confine myself to any method of manufacture nor to any particular
