PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tobacco or Smoking Pipes.
I THOMAS COPPOCK Junior of 448 Stockport Road, Longsight, Manchester,
Brush Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as
follows:-
The object of this invention is to produce a pipe which shall be capable of being
more readily and effectually cleaned than heretofore. In performing my invention 1
construct my improved pipe in two halves separated in the direction of the length of
the pipe and I effect the necessary air-tight joining of the two halves by having a
projection on the one half fitting into a corresponding groove formed in the other
half. And to secure the two parts together I employ a pair of by preference metallic
bands one to slide over the bowl which is suitably tapered and the other to slide over
the stem.
As so constructed it will be apparent that in case it is required to clean out the pipe
all that is necessary is to remove the bands when the two halves will separate from
cach other and so the interior of the bowl and stem become exposed and presented
ready for instantaneous cleaning.
This improved pipe is made of wood or may be moulded in clay or made of other
suitable material.

Brush Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of iny said invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement :-
The object of this invention is to produce a pipe which shall be capable of being
more readily and effectually cleaned than heretofore.
And in order that this my said invention may be the more readily understood and
carried into practical effect I have hereunto annexed a drawing illustrative of my
improvements in smoking pipes and will now proceed to describe the same with the
assistance of the various Figures and letters of reference marked thereon.
Eig. Lis a side view and Fig. 2a plan view (partially in section) of my improved
pipe complete. Fig. 3 is an inside view of one part of my improved pipo and Fig. 4
represents a plan view of the two parts composing my improved pipe and shewn slightly
separated froin each other.
In performing my invention I construct my improved pipe in two halves or parts a
and separated in the direction of the length of the pipe as illustrated and I effect
the necessary air-tight joining of the two halves by having a projection c c on the one
half a fitting into a corresponding groove d d formed in the other half b. And to
secure the two parts together I employ a pair of by preference metallic bands one
marked to slide over the bowl which is suitably tapered and the other marked y to
slide over the stem.
As so constructed it will be apparent that in case it is required to clean out the pipe
all that is necessary is to remove the bands fand g when the two halves will separate
from each other and so the interior of the bowl and stem become exposed and presented
ready for instantaneous cleaning.
This improved pipe is made of wood or may be moulded in clay or made of other
suitable material.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained. the nature of this my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is :-
Constructing Tobacco or smoking pipes in two parts and securing the same together
substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described and illustrated on the
accompanying drawing.
Dated this 13th day of August 1888.
