PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Construction of Pipe Case.
1 CARL GUSTAVE WETZLAR of the firm Wetzlar and Haas, 6 Castle Street,
Falcon Square, City of London, Tobacco Pipe Manufacturers do hereby declare the
nature of my said invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is the construction of a case or pouch for Tobacco
Pipes, having the qualities of adapting itself to any shape or contour of any pipe the
case being flexible and is consequently more hendy for the pocket than an ordinary
Pipe Case.
For the purpose of my invention I form a pipe case of any suitable material such
as leather leatherette," paper, a woven or other fabric or suitable material preferably
in the shape of a half circle having two sides and within it I insert à piece of
springy material, bent or curved, so as to conform to the semi-circular or other
shape of the Pouch which is thereby held distended lengthwise, thus maintaining the
mouth of the Pouch in a closed state.
For opening the Pouch or case the two ends are merely pressed towards each
other by one hand, and the mouth will expand and open sideways, it being no longer
distended lengthways by the spring.
Instead of causing the springy material to be bent or curved in the pouch it may
be arranged in the mouth in a free state, in which case the action required for
opening the Pouch or case would be the same.
Dated this tith day of Lul. 1980.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Construction of Pipe Case.
I, CARL GUSTAVE WETZLAR, of the firm Wetzlar and Haas of 6 Castle Street,
Falcon Square, City of London, Tobacco Pipe Manufacturers, 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 the construction of a Case or Pouch for Tobacco
Pipes, having the qualities of adapting itself to any shape or contour of any Pipe,
the Case being flexible and is consequently more handy for the pocket than an
ordinary Pipe Case.
For the purpose of my invention, and as exemplified by the annexed drawing, I
form a Pipe Case of any suitable material, such as leather, "leatherette," paper, a
woven or other fabric, or suitable material, preferably in the shape of a half circle
having two sides, and within it I insert a piece of springy material, bent or curved,
so as to conform to the semi-circular, or other shape of the Pouch which is thereby
held distended lengthwise, thus maintaining the mouth of the Case in a closed state.
For opening the Pouch or Case, the two ends A, B, are merely pressed towards each
other by one hand, and the mouth C will expand and open sideways, it being no longer
distended lengthways by the spring.
Instead of causing the springy material to be bent or curved in the Pouch, it may
be arranged in the mouth in a free state, in which case the action required for opening
the Pouch or Case would be the same.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
-
The Pipe Case arranged with spring for expanding the ends, and closing the
month, as described and exemplified by the drawing.
