I, ARTHUR WILLIAM SALE, of 87, Earle Street, Northampton, Commercial Traveller,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what inanner the same is to
be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention relates to a device to be employed by smokers for the purpose of
cleaning or otherwise inanipulating pipes and its object is to provide a simple and
convenient article which can be carried in the pocket and which will serve this
purpose effectually.
The device I propose to employ consists of a metal case within which a long pin
or spike and brush are carried. These are separate and can be pushed out from the
case separately or collapsed within it as required. The case is provided with two
longitudinal slots and the spike and brush are provided with pins passing through
the slots serving to extend or withdraw the cleaning device. One end of the case is
provided with a small plate or cover which can be used to press the tobacco in the
bowl and the other end which is open may be covered by a cap.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood reference is had to
the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1 is an elevation of the complete article,
and Fig. 2 is a section showing the pin or spike extended. A is the case provided
with slots each slot being furnished with a small arm at its upper end for locking
Within the case the brush B and the spike C are placed both being
provided with the pin or finger-piece b or c passing through the slots. These serve
to carry or support the brush and spike and allow them to be extended or collapsed

page_text: within the case. When extended the pins are turned round into the arm of the slot
locking the brush or spike in extended position. The case is furnished with the
disc a at its end serving to press the tobacco in the bowl and on the other end of
the case the cap D is placed closing the device.
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) An improved tobacco pipe cleaner consisting of a case, a brush and spike within
the said case sliding pieces carrying the said brush and spike and means for locking
the same in extended or closed position substantially as and for the purposes
specified.
(2) An improved tobacco pipe cleaner consisting of a slotted case, a brush and
spike sliding within the said case and a cap closing the same constructed
substantially as described and shown in the accompanying drawings and for the
purposes specified.
