Complete Specification Left, 2nd June, 1897-Accepted, 17th July, 1897
We ALBERT JAMES PADDY, Jeweller, of 3 Northampton Square, and EBENEZER
JOHN PADDY, Wood-engraver, of 35 Yonge Park, Finsbury Park, both in the County
of London, do hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows:-
It is well known amongst smokers that the common clay pipe is one of the best
for smoking, but owing to its vulgar associations, many persons do not like to be seen
smoking one.
This Invention has for its object to enable a smoker to sinoke a common clay pipe,
which shall nevertheless have the appearance of a briar wood one for example.
According to this Invention (supposing it is required to represent a briar wood
pipe), we make a briar wood casing having the form of a pipe, the bowl of the larger
portion thereof being screwed on, we also screw on a portion of the stem, and in the
mouth piece of such stem, we fix a piece of india rubber tubing. By this means
when the bowl portion of the said case is unscrewed, a clay pipe (having a straight
stem by preference) may be inserted into the said briar wood casing, the mouth piece
fitting into the aforesaid rubber tube, so as to make the stem of the clay pipe fit.
tightly in this portion of the casing, in order that a proper draught through the
pipe may be obtained.
It will easily be understood that the clay pipe may be renewed from time to time,
as required, by unscrewing the briar wood casing.
Of course an amber or other mouth piece inay be fitted to the casing, thus
obviating another objection incidental to the clay pipe, namely the tendency of the
stem to stick to the lips, when the clay is unprotected.

We ALBERT JAMES PADDY, Jeweller of 3 Northampton Square, and EBENEZER
JOHN PADDY, Wood Engraver of 35 Yonge l'ark, Finsbury Park, both in the County
of London, 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 :--

page_text: This invention has for its object to enable a smoker to smoke a common clay pipe,
which shall nevertheless have the appearance of a briar wood one for example.
According to this invention (supposing it is required to represent a briar wood pipe),
we make a briar wood casing having the form of the pipe, the bowl or the larger
portion thereof being screwed on, we also screw on a portion of the stem, and in the
mouth piece of such stem we fit a piece of tubing. By this means when the bowl
portion of the said case is unscrewed a clay pipe having a straight stem may be
inserted into the said briar wood casing, the mouth piece fitting into the aforesaid
tube so as to make the stem of the clay pipe fit tightly in this portion of the casing
in order that a proper draught, through the pipe, may be obtained.
It will easily be understood that the clay pipe may be renewed from time to time,
as required, by unscrewing the briar wood casing.
Of course an amber mouth piece may be fitted to the casing thus obviating another
objection incidental to the clay pipe, namely the tendency of the stem to stick to the
lips when the clay is unprotected.
And in order that our said invention may be better understood we will now proceed
to describe the same with reference to the drawing accompanying this Specification
in which Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section of a pipe constructed according to our said
invention, shewing the method of inserting the clay pipe in the outer casing; Fig. 2
is an elevation of the pipe complete, the clay pipe being fitted in position.
The same letters denote the same parts in both views.
ashews the clay pipe, b the upper and larger portion of the bowl of the casing and
c and d shew the two portions of the stem. The pieces b c and d are detachable
from one another and are made of such material as may be desired to represent the
pipe being made of. e shews a short length of tubing, which may be of india rubber,
fitted in the end of the stem or mouth piece d. The mouth piece may. of course be
of any desired material.
It will be seen that when the bowl b is removed as at Fig. 1, a clay pipe a, having
a straight stem, may be inserted in the casing in such a way that the end f of
the stem of the pipe u will fit tightly into the tubing e so that proper draught can
be obtained through the pipe.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that
what we claim is :-
The combination, with a clay pipe, of an outer casing, all constructed and arranged
substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
