We SAMSON BENTON Wholesale Harness Manufacturer air! WILLIAM JAMES
PAINTER Joiner and both of 31 Lower Forster Street Walsall Staffordshire do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
e performed to be particularly described an ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
Our invention has for its object improvements in or relating to tobacco pipe and
the like cleaners and refers more particularly to carved sheaths for coat tining the
ware for cleaning pipes by which means we so shape the sheath that the wire is
straightened by the process of drawing it from the sheath thus preventing the necessity
This we effect in a Simple
of straightening the wire with the fingers before use.
efficient and durable manner.
In order that our invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
iuto practise we have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings upon which we have
fully illustrated the nature of our said invention together with the means for carrying
the same into effect.
Figure 1 is a view of one form of our sheath containing the wire.
Figure 2 is a similar view shewing another form.
Figure 3 is also a similar view shewing a further modification.
Figure 4 is a side view of the metal dise or mandrel upon which the sheaths are
wound.
Figure 5 is a section on the line 1—2.
In carrying our invention into ethect we form the sheath A of a length of metal
role which we bend around a mandrel or dise as hereafter describe into helical
spiral or other suitable forms such as shewn by Figures 12 and 3 the end a¹ being

page_text: provided with a curve in the reverse direction to the main curve or sweep of the
sheath.
The wire F which is inserted in the said sheath is so tempered that when withdrawn
from the sheath the curve a' operates upon the wire in a reverse direction to its
previous curve sufficiently to cause it to emerge from the sheath in a perfectly
straight condition. The means for carrying out the invention consist of a
revolving mandrel or disc B mounted in bearings C and having a screw down
plate for the attachment of the length of tube to the inandrel.
The plate
and mandrel having the outer curve at this point the tube is similarly curved
by the pressure upon the plate b¹ which is effected by the screw pin 3 and upon
the mandrel being revolved by the fly wheel in the direction of the arrow the
tube is coiled around the mandrel by the guide E and the sheath is detached ready
for the insertion of the wire.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
Lion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is
The improvements in or relating to tobacco pipe and the like cleaners consisting
of the curved sheath A having a reverse curve a' at the mouth substantially as and
for the purpose herein set forth and described.
