PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Tobacco Pipes.
I, WILLIAM ROSAMBERT, of St. Claude (Jura) France, Pipe Manufacturer, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
There exists a pipe in which a metal dust guard is provided with slotted legs for
being drawn up and pushed down on studs affixed to opposite sides of a bowl to
enable the dust guard to serve, when reversed, as a foot plate under the bowl in
order that it can be set upright, but when the guard is in its proper position
protects the tobacco from the wind and retains the top dust in the bowl.
The above arrangement had no other advantages and necessitated the guard
being lifted and turned sideways to enable the pipe to be filled, the top edge of
the bowl being then exposed for the flame of the match or vesta to burn and
discolour.
By my present invention, I form the slotted legs in a piece, or associate them
with a top or edge rim to which the dust guard can be hinged.
The rim is preferably channeled to be easily located on and over the edge of the
bowl but can be lifted clear along with the dust guard to serve as a foot when.

J, WILLIAM ROSAMBERT, of St. Claude (Jura) France, Pipe Manufacturer,.
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:
There exists a pipe in which a metal dust guard is provided with slotted legs.
for being drawn up and pushed down on studs affixed to opposite sides of a bowl
to enable the dust guard to serve when reversed, as a foot plate under the bowl in
order that it can be set upright, but when the guard is in the proper position it
protects the tobacco from the wind and retains the top dust in the bowl.
The above arrangement had no other advantages and necessitated the guard
being lifted and turned sideways to enable the pipe to be filled, the top edge of
the bowl being then exposed for the flame of the match or vesta to burn and
discolour.
By my present invention and as represented in the annexed drawings, I form the
slotted legs A, A, Figure 1, in a piece, or associate them with a top or edge rim B
to which the dust guard C can be hinged, Figures 1 and 2.
The rim is preferably channeled, as at D Figure 3, to be easily located on and
over the edge of the bowl E but can be lifted clear along with the dust guard C to

page_text: serve as a foot when reversed, as at Figure 3, the mouthpiece F acting as the prop
and falling to the same plane as the foot to keep the bowl E upright when placed
on a table or other article.
The appliance is free to be lifted on the studs G and then be turned over to
convert it into a foot, or when in the position Figure 1 the rim B protects the
top of the bowl from the heat of the flame in lighting the tobacco, the guard C
being then closed down to prevent the dust being drawn out by the wind at
the same time the entrance of air through the perforations in the guard C
regulates the draught.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven- 1
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
The combination of a reversible cap and hinged guard C movable with the cap
to serve in one position as a dust protector and in the reverse position as a foot,
as and for the purposes described and substantially as represented in the annexed
drawings.
