COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in connection with Pipes for Smoking, and other like
Articles.
I, ELIZABETH SUSAN LECKY, of 152, Holland Road, Kensington, W., Lady,
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: -
This invention has for its object, the providing of a friction plate for convenience
of igniting matches or fusees.
For this purpose, I affix to any convenient part of either the stem or bowl of the
tobacco pipe, or other like article, a metal or other friction or striking plate, of any
suitable size and shape, but preferably in the form of a concave strip of the required
length and width. These striking plates may be affixed to any existing pipes with
little if any alteration, but it should preferably be affixed in a groove formed with
that object in any required poisition on the stem or bowl of the pipe, cigar tube or
like article.
The friction plates may either be affixed in the course of manufacture, or sold
separately and affixed as required.
For the better illustration of my invention I have hereunto annexed a sheet of
drawings in which
Fig. 1. represents a pipe having a friction plate affixed to the stem at A.
In Fig. 2. the plate is affixed to the right hand side of the bowl at A, by means
of the rivets or screws C. C.
In Fig. 3. the plate is on the side towards the smoker, Fig. 4, being a section of
the bowl on the line b, b', (Fig. 3) showing the concave form of the striking plate.
Fig. 5 represents the striking plate prepared for fixing in any required position,
by means of screws or rivets in the holes D. D.
Fig. 6, shows a cigar tube or holder with the striking plate affixed at A.
The letters refer to similar parts in all the drawings.
By the use of this my invention matches and fusees can be ignited with much
greater ease, as the smoker always has the striking plate in the most convenient
position for use.

page_text: 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 of friction or striking plates for affixing to tobacco pipes
in any required position for the particular purpose herein set forth, described and
illustrated.
