Improvements in Tobacco-pipes, Cigar-holders, or the like.
A communication from abroad by JOHN JAKOB WESLIEN, Merchant, and
JOHAN ALBERT LINDHOLM, Doctor of Music, both of Stockholm, in the
Kingdom of Sweden.
I, GEORGE CECIL DYMOND, M. Inst. M.E. of the Agency for Foreign Patent
Solicitors, 6 Lord Street, Liverpool, and 6 Bank Street, Manchester, both in the
County of Lancaster, and 323 High Holborn in the County of Middlesex, Patent
Agent, 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 :-
This invention relates to tobacco pipes, cigar holders or other smoking mouth-
pieces, and is designed to facilitate the cleaning of the interior parts thereof after
they have been used.
The invention, which is shown in detail in the accompanying drawings, consists
in splitting or parting the pipe or holder lengthwise or making it in two halves
either entirely or partly, the said halves being clamped together by rings put over
the same, or by any other suitable means.
In the accompanying drawings:
-
Figures 1 and 2 illustrate the half of a tobacco pipe, having the present improve-
ments applied thereto, while
Figure 3 shows a cigar holder with same arrangement.
Figure 1 represents one of the two parts a of a pipe of this construction with
the necessary rings bbb for keeping together the two parts. The bowl, as well
as the stem, is in two halves. c is a mouth-piece, that can also, if desired, be
parted in two. As seen from Figure 1 of the drawings, it is very easy to get
at all parts or passages of the pipe for the purpose of cleansing the same.
When the pipe has to be used, it is only necessary to take off the ring band
slide the stem of the duplicate half that corresponds to the part a through the
rings band, and then put the ring b on to the top of the bowl again.
The pipe shown in elevation in Figure 2 has not the bowl, but only the stem
parted in two.
Figure 3 represents one of the two parts of a cigar or cigarette holder d with its
rings e and e, the latter in vertical section.
In Figures 1 and 3, the surfaces of both of the abutting parts are shown smooth,
but, in order to ensure the tightness of the two parts of the pipe or cigar holder
after putting together, they may, if desired, be rabbetted together, as shown in
Figure 4, or one of the parts may be provided with ribs fitting into the grooves in
the other part as shown at Figure 5.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me by
my foreign correspondents, I declare that what I claim is :-
1. As a means for cleaning up in an easy and handy way the interior parts or
passages of cigar and cigarette holders and tobacco pipes, the arrangement of
parting the holder or pipe lengthwise, either entirely or partly, the said parts being
fastened together by loose clamping rings or in other suitable manner.
2. The improvement in tobacco pipes, cigar holders or the like, which consists in
forming the stem and bowl or stem only in two halves or segments and fastening

page_text: the two halves together by loose clamping rings or in any other suitable manner,
whereby the interior parts or passages may be readily cleaned, substantially as
described..
