page_text: I, SAMUEL ARTHUR WICKSTEED, of 665, Dumbarton Road, Partick, Glasgow,
Naval Architect, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object to provide a simple and inexpensive pipe
rack adapted to be secured to a vertical wall or cabinet and wherein pipes may
be conveniently held when not in use with the bowl at a lower level than the
stem so as to preclude the possibility of the stem being filled with nicotine or
juice.
The improved pipe rack is composed of a back plate adapted for attachment
by nails or otherwise to a vertical wall surface and from which projects a box-
like shelf or ledge projecting in part horizontally, but inclining upwards in
front. This shelf is closed on each side and is fitted with vertical partitions to
form compartments each of which is designed to hold a single pipe whose bowl
rests on the lower horizontal part of the shelf, whilst the stem projects at an
upward inclination over the inclined front part. A roughened surface for striking
lights may be formed on the lower side of the inclined ledge, and under the
rack a smaller box or shelf of like form may be fitted for holding matches.
