Year: 1884

page_text: PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
I ALBERT HARLEY STOREY of 38 Lindore Road, Wandsworth in the County
of Surrey Gentleman do, hereby declare the nature of my said Invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN TOBACCO PIPES AND CIGAR AND CIGARETTE HOLDERS to be as
follows:-
The object of my Invention is to provide a pipe for tobacco or a cigar or a
cigarette holder that can easily quickly and effectively be cleaned while if from
any cause the passage inside the same is choked the obstruction can readily be
removed.
To carry out this object I divide the pipe or the holder horizontally or
longitudinally along the stem or shank thereof on a level with the passage therein
or thereabouts. The lower or separate part or in the case of the holder one of the
parts is secured to the upper or other part by a thumb or other screw preferably
placed in the pipe under the bowl thereof or in the holder near the end thereof.
This screw is preferably tightly secured in the lower or moving part and revolves
or turns in the upper or standing part so that when the moving part is moved the
screw separates the two parts and allows the moving part to move freely and
expose the whole passage inside the pipe or holder for cleaning or other purposes.
Then when the moving part is brought into position again in juxtaposition with
the standing part the screw brings the two parts close together thereby duly
forming the passage inside the pipe or holder. When the mouth piece of the pipe
or holder is separate it can be fitted to screw on over these two parts when closed
or otherwise to clasp them and if required by the length of the pipe or holder
other bands can be fitted in any required manner to pass over these two parts and
secure the same in juxtaposition at any necessary intervals so as to keep them
tightly together.

page_text: I ALBERT HARLEY STOREY of 38 Lindore Road, Wandsworth in the County
of Surrey Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of my said Invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN TOBACCO PIPES AND CIGAR AND CIGARETTE HOLDERS 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 my Invention is to construct a tobacco pipe or a cigar or cigarette
holder in such a manner that it can easily quickly and effectively be cleaned
internally while if from any cause the passage inside is choked the obstruction can
readily be removed.
I carry out this object by dividing the pipe or the holder aforesaid longitudinally
along the stem or shank or body thereof on a level or in line with the passage
therein or thereabouts and these two parts into which the said pipe or holder is so
divided are so fitted that the said parts can be separated the one from the other
so that the passage which can be made in either or in both of the said parts as
may be desired shall be exposed.
In order fully and clearly to explain my Invention I refer to the accompanying
Drawing wherein I shew this my method of construction and some ways of fitting
the pipe or the holder according thereto.
Figure 1 is a vertical section of a pipe made in one piece. Figure 2 is a plan
of the lower part of the pipe when placed with the bowl thereof downwards. The
pipe is divided longitudinally and horizontally along the stem or shank thereof
into the two parts A and B and the lower part B is secured to the main part A by
the thumb or other screw or pivot C which is preferably placed under the bowl of
the pipe. The passage D which in this pipe is in the part A consists of a trough.
in the said part A and when the two parts A and B are brought together parallel
with each other and bound closely by a suitable band E passed over and round the
said two parts the trough in the part A is tightly closed by the part B and the
required passage D is formed but when the said band E is removed and the said
parts A and B are separated from each other as shewn in Figure 2 the whole
trough D is exposed for cleaning or other purposes. I prefer when a screw is used
for the pivot to firmly fix the said screw C in the part B and allow it to work or
turn in the part A so that even although the said two parts A and B are or may
be in close and tight juxtaposition when the said parts are parallel with each other
as is required yet when the said two parts are separated the screw C by turning
in the part A will lift the part B off the same and allow of free action.
In Figure 3 I shew another method of fitting a pipe in which the separate
mouth piece F passes over or is screwed on the end of the shank to bind the two
parts A and B thereof closely together and in this pipe I shew the passage D
formed, partly in both of these said parts' A. and B.
:
In Figure 4 I shew a prolongation G of the separate mouthpiece F which forms
a sleeve to cover the whole or part of the shank of the pipe and this sleeve G. may
be screwed or otherwise fitted on the said shank preferably near the bowl of the
pipe to bind the two parts A and B of the said 'shank closely together and in this
pipe I'shew the passage D formed in the lower part B.
In Figure 5 I shew another method of fitting a pipe according to my Invention
which is suitable for meerschaum and other pipes when it is not desirable to
divide the outside of the pipe. In this event a large passage H is made through
the shank of the pipe and fitting tightly and closely therein is a tube Ķ divided

page_text: longitudinally into two parts which may either be pivotted together in the same
manner as are the parts A and B herein before described or be entirely separate.
Thus according to this method also when the mouth piece F is removed the tube K
can be drawn out of the large passage H and the two parts of the said tube K can
be separated to expose the passage therein for cleaning or other purposes.
Instead of making the division horizontal, as hereinbefore described I can also
make the said division vertical and divide the shank and the bowl of the pipe
longitudinally and vertically in which case I may join or connect the two parts
into which the pipe is divided in any manner as may be most convenient and
suitable but preferably I should in this method also use a pivot in the same
manner as herein before described and place this pivot at L in Figure I also under
the bowl of the pipe and I should pass or screw a ring over the top of the bowl to
assist the band E or the separate mouth piece F or the sleeve thereof G herein before
described in binding the two parts of the pipe closely together and in this method
also the whole of the passage inside the shank of the pipe would be exposed as
shewn in Figure 1 which would be an elevation of one of the parts of the pipe
according to one method of fitting the said pipe.
I have thus shewn some ways of fitting a pipe. according to this my Invention
but it is obvious and I would have it clearly understood that I do not limit myself
to the precise details as shewn and described or to the shapes of the pipes or of
the parts thereof as shewn for my Invention can be applied in the manner
herein before described to every pipe of whatever shape it may be and though my
said Invention is in an especial degree applicable to. wooden pipes other pipes made
of any material can also be fitted and constructed in my manner and after my
methods as hereinbefore described.
Figure 6 is a longitudinal section of a cigar or cigarette holder in the body of
which I form a large, passage M wherein is tightly and closely fitted a tube N
divided longitudinally into two parts the end of which tube N is formed to
receive and hold the end of the cigar or cigarette. The two parts of the tube N
may either be pivotted together in the same manner as are the parts A and B
herein before described or be entirely separate and when the mouth piece O is
unscrewed off the projecting end of the tube N the said tube N can be drawn out
of the other end of the holder and the two parts of the said tube N can be
separated to expose the passage therein for cleaning or other purposes.
In Figure 7 I shew a method of dividing a mouth piece longitudinally and
pivotting the two parts P and R thereof together by the screw or pivot S and if
and when necessary the passage T therein can be formed to pass round the pivot S
as shewn and thus in this method also when the two parts P and R are separated
the whole of the said passage T is exposed for cleaning or other purposes but when
the said two parts P and R are brought together parallel with each other the
required passage T is duly formed. This method is also applicable to cigar or
cigarette holders the end of the passage T being duly formed to receive and hold
the end of the cigar or cigarette and in either case a suitable band or ring can be
passed over or screwed on the end of the holder or mouth piece to bind the two
parts thereof closely together,
It is obvious also that I do not limit myself to the precise details or to the
shapes of these holders or mouth pieces as shewn but that my Invention as
hereinbefore described can be applied in my manner and after my methods to any
holders or mouth pieces of whatever shape they may be, or of whatever material
they may be made."
