I FREDERICK WALDOCK of Thames Street, Hampton, in the County of
Middlesex, Boat Builder, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The object of this invention is to combine with a tobacco pipe, an implement or
device, one end of which is tapered so as to serve as a pricker, by means of which
the tobacco can be loosened in the pipe bowl, the other end being formed into a
knob or disc which can be used as a stopper to press the tobacco down in the pipe
bowl as and when it is consumed to provide for the even and efficient combustion
thereof. The exterior of the pipe stem is formed or provided with a slot, groove,
sheath or recess of sufficient size to receive the implement aforementioned, and
having one or more clips, staples, or other devices to hold the implement in its

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or connected with Tobacco Pipes.
I FREDERICK WALDOCK of Thames Street, Hampton, in the County of
Middlesex, Boat Builder, 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 :-
-
The object of this invention is to combine with a tobacco pipe, an implement or
device, one end of which is tapered so as to serve as a pricker, by means of which
the tobacco can be loosened in the pipe bowl, the other end being formed into a
knob or disc which can be used as a stopper to press the tobacco down in the pipe
bowl as and when it is consumed to provide for the eyen and efficient combustion
thereof.
The exterior of the pipe stem is formed or provided with a slot, groove, sheath, or
recess of sufficient size to receive the implement aforementioned, and having one
or more clips, staples, or other devices to hold the implement in its place.
The accompanying drawings shew two examples of the manner in which my
invention may be applied to ordinary tobacco pipes.
Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of a straight stem pipe with my invention
fitted thereto after manufacture. A is a slot or groove made in the exterior
of the pipe stem to take the pricker blade D, and B B are wire or other staples
which bridge over the said slot or groove and with it form a sheath adapted to
receive the pricker blade and prevent the implement from falling out of place.
C is a groove made in the exterior of the pipe stem to accommodate the stopper
head or knob E of the device or implement.
Figure 2 is a sectional elevation of a curved stem pipe provided with a recess F
sufficiently large to receive the pricker blade D which is prevented from falling out
of the recess F by means of a catch pin and bayonet slot or by other suitable means.
Or the pricker blade may be made flat and the recess oval in cross section and the
[Price 31

page_text: pricker blade secured when in the recess by giving it a quarter turn so that it lies
in the plane containing the minor axis of the oval."
I do not confine myself to the details shewn in the drawings nor to any
particular method of detachably securing an implement or device such as is herein
described to a tobacco pipe so as to be readily removed therefrom and used by the
smoker, as various other methods or modes of application will occur to persons in
the trade. It will also be obvious that the instrument or device may be applied to
a pipe in the course of its manufacture or afterwards.
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 :-
:-
A tobacco pipe having a combined tobacco pricker and stopper detachably
secured thereto substantially as described and illustrated by way of example in the
accompanying drawings.
