Improved Apparatus for and Method of Utilising the Ordinary Clay
Tobacco Pipe as at Present Constructed.
JOHN BRINDLE of No. 130 Dale Street Liverpool in the County of Lancaster
Patent Agent do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
Improved apparatus for and method of utilising the ordinary Clay Tobacco pipe as
at present constructed.
As the use of the ordinary Clay Tobacco pipes which said pipes are acknowledged
by most Tobacco Smokers as the best pieces of apparatus from which to smoke Tobacco
but which are practically confined to fireside use owing to the inelegant and as many
consider vulgar appearance, this Invention is for the purpose of supplying an addition
to and in combination with such clay pipes of any colour shape. or patter.. by
the use of which they may be smoked freely by the most fastidious smoker under all
circumstances and in any situation. As an example of one method by which I
accomplish this I cause to be made a case or covering of wood, papier mache, metal,
thorn, silicated asbestos or any other suitable material of the same configuration as the
clay pipe to be combined or enclosed but in longitudinal halves either plain or
ornamental as may be. desired. The mouthpiece which may be of any material as
amber, vulcanite or other, slides into a connecting tube which said connecting tube is
to be fitted tightly upon the end of a clay pipe stem. The two halves of the case or
covering are now to be placed over and outside the clay pipe and tightening or
holding bands slipped on as follows one for the head another for the middle of the
stein, and one to hold the connecting mouthpiece to the end of the aforesaid case or
covering. These connecting bands may be of any metal as silver or in a cheaper form
of white metal and plain or ornamental as may be desired.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Apparatus for and Method of Utilising the Ordinary Clay
Tobacco Pipe as at Present Constructed.
I, JOHN BRINDLE, of 130, Dale Street, Liverpool, do hereby declare the nature
of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This Invention relates to improved smoking apparatus to be used in connection
with clay pipes the use of which over pipes made of other materials is preferred by
the great majority of smokers but is nevertheless considered as ungenteel; the object
of the Invention being to allow of the use of clay pipes so that the smoker may enjoy
the pleasure thereof by so disguising it substantially as hereinafter described as
that it will have the appearance of a brier pipe or of a pipe made of other usual
materials.
The Invention is illustrated on the accompanying drawings in longitudinal section
in Fig. 1; in section through, a, b, in Fig. 2; in section through c, d, in Fig. 3; and
in end elevation with the mouth piece and part removed in Fig. 4.
To the end aforesaid, the Invention consists, essentially, in using in combination
with a clay pipe, 5, an enclosing case, 6, or false pipe made of any desired and suitable
wood, or of papier-mâche, metal, horn, silicated asbestos or any other suitable
material, and of an internal configuration conformable to that of the clay pipe
intended to be used therewith, and being externally of any desired configuration and
being made in separable parts preferably in longitudinal halves which can be readily

opening of its bowl.
The parts of such enclosing case are or may be secured in position by removable
external bands, 7, or the like made of silver, nickel, white metal or of other suitable
metal or material placed around the bowl and stem at any suitable parts, but it is
generally sufficient with ordinary short clay pipes to use two of such bands, as
represented, the one being placed around the opening of the bowl and the other being
placed around the end of the stem; and which latter band may also serve as the means
of connecting the clay pipe and enclosing case with the mouth-piece, 8, which may
be made of amber, vulcanite or of any other suitable material, an elastic washer, 9, being
preferably placed around the end of the pipe-stem so as to abut against the end of
the mouthpiece to cause the pipe to draw well.
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.
The application and use in combination of a clay pipe with an enclosing casing
made in separable parts and with a mouthpiece and bands or like means for securing
the parts of the casing and connecting the casing and mouthpiece substantially as
herein before described.
