COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and connected with Tobacco Pipes.
CONSTANTINE PROCOPIDES 41 Major Street Manchester Calico Printer and
Dyer, 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 :-
A pipe constructed in such a manner as to permit of its being easily lighted in
windy weather and under disadvantageous circumstances.
The essential part of the invention is a cylinder which slides up and down a
groove either cut into the head of pipe vertically or formed by means of an inner
bowl being fitted to pipe, with a hinged lid on top to be used either open or closed,
and in the side of cylinder is an aperture for the admission of a lighted match.
The object of the cylinder is to form a hood to protect the light from being
blown out by the wind.
When not in use the cylinder lies embedded in the head of pipe and being
attached by a metal band to rim, has the appearance and neatness of an ordinary
mounted pipe.
C represents a cylinder made of any suitable metal or material, and of any
suitable shape, permanently attached to the pipe by the band M, and which is made
to slide up and down in the groove P. P. said groove being either cut in the head
of pipe or formed by the addition of an inner bowl.
Tis an opening in the side of cylinder C for the purpose of admitting a lighted
match.
N. is a rough striking surface for lighting match on, and K is a hinged lid which
may be used open or closed.
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.
The novelty claimed for my invention is a pipe which may be easily and

page_text: immediately lighted in the most boisterous weather and under circumstances
which would render the lighting of an ordinary pipe, a matter of difficulty and
at considerable expenditure of matches.
