I, SEDDON WILDEBLOOD Artist The Limes Alsager Stoke on Trent, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The handle of Umbrella or Walking Stick shall form a Case for Tobacco Pipe,
avoiding smell in clothes, and bulkiness of Pockets.

I, SEDDON WILDEBLOOD, Artist, The Limes, Alsager, Stoke on Trent, do hereby.
declare the nature of this invention for UMBRELLA AND WALKING STICK HANDLES and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
:-
The handles of Umbrella, ог Walking, Sticks may be utilized (in addition to their
ordinary purpose) as cases for tobacco pipes, in the following manner. Any hard
wood, bone, ivory, nut, composition, or other materials used in the manufacture of
such handles, and at the same time suitable for lathe working, or turning, must be
used, or papier-mâché or other plastic substance. In the case of the latter the pulp
or other plastic substance is simply moulded into forms similar to those shown in the
drawing accompanying this specification, where the upper part, or cover, is shewn in
section, as at A, and the lower part B in elevation, (with the pipe stem showing
through the latter, in dotted lines). The moulded pipe-case-handle would then be
lined, finished, and attached by any of the ordinary methods of the trade, to the stick
of umbrella, or walking stick, forming the handle and a pipe case in one.
For wooden or other lathe turned handles, the handle is made, as in the drawing,
in two pieces or parts, A, and B, the line of junction, D, or screw, being at right
angles with the axis of interior hollow, or bowl, of lid. This interior hollow, C, C,
must be circular, in any section parallel to junction D, so that, whilst screwing up,
its side revolves round axis W at a continually equal distance from that axis, and so
prevents pressure, or friction, on pipe head, during such screwing up.
The screw junction, D, is circular.
The plane of junction, D, of the two parts, to be placed at an angle of about 40°,
at M, with the axis P of the stem portion of the case, or handle, as at M. This
arrangement enables the cutter of the lathe, when hollowing the stem, B, part of
case, to enter in the direction of line S; and also allows of the insertion of a tobacco
pipe, E.
The ordinary lathe boring or cutting tools, using the sizes convenient, will hollow
both the cavity for stem of pipe, and that for bowl, and the screws are cut by the
screw cutting tools, which may be done also in the lathe. A very little carving is
then required to finish the interior, or exterior, which latter (exterior) may be a larger
block, as H H in the first place, and reduced to the desired size and form, afterwards,
by the workman. The interior of a well-finished handle should be finished, as a pipe
case, by lining and slight padding.
When not convenient to have the portion B of the handle, and the stick of umbrella
or walking stick, all in one piece, the attachment of a handle, made as described, to its
stick, can be made by any of the known methods of the trade, and the whole finished in
the usual way.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is:
(1) That a conveniently shaped, i.e., curved over, handle, can be used as a pipe
case, when the joint is placed as in the specification.

(2) The adaptability of the same pipe-case to the containing of several commonly
preferred varieties, or shapes, of pipes, for instance "Briar," Bulldog,' Asbestos,
common clay, or the like.
case, the manufacture
(3) That although the pipe can be placed whole in the handle
of such case is attained by easy means, and the curved over form of handle also
obtained by artificial means, a whole piece of "natural" wood not being essential,
there being a screw joining of two pieces.
