We HENRY SHAW of 130 William Street Aston Engineer and RICHARD WILLIAM
EADIE the younger of 12 Brook Street Birmingham in the County of Warwick
Engraver, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists in the construction of an apparatus for cleaning the inside of
Tobacco pipes cegar holders and similar articles.
The form that I use consists of a tube within which works a piston acting similarly
to a squirt or syringe round the open end or mouth of the tube is placed a tapered
casing of cork or india rubber or other suitable material..
To cleanse the pipe the cork or india rubber is placed firmly in the bowl of the pipe,
the mouth piece or stem of the pipe placed in water or other cleansing fluid and the
piston worked so as to draw in and drive out the liquid and thus clear the pipe stem.
Another and somewhat similar method of applying the same principle is to use an
india rubber ball or other shaped syringe with a tapered boss piece of cork or india
rubber or other suitable material to insert in the bowl of the pipe, or in either form of
syringe the portion which is to be attached to the pipe or other article to be cleansed
may be made to fit over the bowl, instead of within it or over the mouth piece.

We HENRY SHAW of Aston in the County of Warwick Engineer and RICHARD
WILLIAM EADIE of Birmingham in the same County Engraver, 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, reference
being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters and figures marked
thereon:-
This Invention consists in the construction of an apparatus for cleaning the inside
of Tobacco Pipes cigar holders and similar articles.
One form that I use consists of a tube within which works a piston acting similarly
to a squirt or syringe round the open end or mouth of the tube is placed a tapered
casing of cork or India rubber or other suitable material.
To cleanse the pipe the cork or india rubber is placed firmly in the bowl of the pipe
the mouth piece or stem of the pipe placed in water or other cleansing fluid and the
piston worked so as to draw in and drive out the liquid and thus clear the pipe stem.
Another and somewhat similar method of applying the same principle is to use an
India rubber ball or other shaped syringe with a tapered boss piece of cork india
rubber or other suitable material, to insert in the bowl of the pipe.
Or in either form of syringe the portion which is to be attached to the pipe or other
article to be cleansed may be made to fit over the bowl instead of within it or over the
mouth piece.
Referring to the accompanying Drawings Fig. 1 represents one form of syringe
(a) is the tube (b) the piston and (c) the plug to insert in the bowl of Tobacco pipes
the tapering form of which enables it to be fitted tightly into varying sizes of bowls.
Fig. 2. represents another form of syringe (d) is the india rubber ball and (e) the
plug for inserting into the bowls of pipes. The same description of apparatus as either
of these may be used for cigar holders and similar articles by simply altering the size
and shape of the plug to suit the requirements or where the syringe is attached outside
by clipping either end of the pipe or other article with an india rubber or other elastic
cap or covering attached to the syringe.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said Invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we claim is.
The improved method of cleaning Tobacco pipes cigar holders and similar articles
by means of a syringe inserted into the bowl of the pipe or within or upon either end
of the pipe cigar holder or similar article.
