Electrical Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
:-
The object of this invention is to provide convenient means whereby tobacco
ashes may be easily dislodged from a pipe bowl and a convenient receptacle for
tobacco ashes.
The pipe picker may be made of any suitable material and in any convenient
form we however prefer that it should be a metal rod pointed at one end.
The pipe picker is attached to the receptacle for tobacco ashes by a chain or
cord or other flexible connection.
The receptacle may be made of any suitable material and size and in any
convenient form we however prefer that it should be made of china or
earthenware.
Sometimes we make the receptacle of such a form that it may serve as a
convenient support for pipes or matches or both and sometimes we roughen part
of it so that matches may be struck upon it.

Electrical Engineer 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 :-
The object of this invention is to provide convenient means whereby tobacco
ashes may be easily dislodged from a pipe bowl and a convenient receptacle for
tobacco ashes.
The pipe picker may be made of any suitable material and in any convenient
form. We however prefer that it should be a metal rod pointed at one end. The
pipe picker is attached to the receptacle for tobacco ashes by a chain or cord or
other flexible connection.
The receptacle may be made of any suitable material and size and in any
convenient form we however prefer that it should be made of china or
earthenware.
Sometimes we make the receptacle of such a form that it may serve as a
convenient support for pipes or matches or both and sometimes we roughen part
of it so that matches may be struck upon it.
One form of our invention is shown in the accompanying drawing.
The top
A A is a vertical section of a round tobacco ash receptacle made of earthenware.
B is a narrow annular recess for the purpose of holding matches.
surface C of the base is roughened so that matches can be easily struck upon it.

page_text: D is a hole through which one end of a light chain or cord E is attached to the
receptacle. The other end of the chain or cord E is attached to the top of the
pipe picker G which consists of a metal rod pointed at its lower end of such a
length that when not in use it may rest in the receptacle as shown in the figure
with its upper end slightly projecting out of the receptacle.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is
1. The combination of a pipe picker and a receptacle for tobacco ashes attached
together by means of a chain or other flexible connection substantially as
described.
2. The combination of a pipe picker and a receptacle for tobacco ashes attached
together by means of a chain or cord the receptacle being provided with a recess
to hold matches and a rough part to strike them on substantially as described
and drawn.
