page_text: LETTERS PATENT to William Rest of No 16 Albion Buildings Aldersgato
Street in the City of London Silversmith and Pipe Mounter for an invention
of IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MODE OF CONNECTING AND MOUNTING TOBACCO
PIPES CIGAR TUBES AND CIGARETTE HOLDERS
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said William Rest at the Office
of the Commissioners of Patents on the 6th April 1882.
WILLIAM REST of 16 Albion Buildings Aldersgate Street in the City of London
Silversmith and pipe Mounter IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MODE OF CONNECTING AND
MOUNTING TOBACCO PIPES CIGAR TUBES AND CIGARETTE HOLDERS
My Invention consists in so applying my mount to any pipe Cigar Tube or
Cigarette holder and to so partially disconnect the same from the mouth piece or
stem thereof by means of a hinge so fixed on the top bottom or either side of the
mount (and so connecting the two parts of the mount) of the pipe Tube or
Cigarette holder as the case may be or require which mount is so made and
connected by a hinge so arranged as to close in upon a catch lock or spring so
fixed as to hold and firmly fix and unite the mouth piece and pipe Tubo or
Cigarette holder together.
I so form an inner Tube within one half of the mount (which I affix to any pipe
Cigar Tube or Cigarette holder) so as to contain a spiral spring which acting in
conjunction with a moveable Tube so arranged as to act upon a projection from the
other half of the mount and constructed also so as to act in conjunction with the
aforesaid catch lock or spring thus rendering the joint of the mount or pipe Cigar
Tube or Cigarette holder perfectly air tight and fit for use the before mentioned
moveable Tube being so arranged as to prevent the nicotine from entering the
mouth of the Smoker and leaves a perfect open channel for smoking any pipe Tube
or holder to which my Invention is applied.
I claim for my invention the advantage and novelty of the mode of connection
of my mount between the pipe and stem or Tube and the mouth piece by making
the mount and Tube air tight I also claim the utility of my invention by reason
of the convenience it affords to the Smoker in folding up the pipe or stein so as to
allow of its being carried in the pocket in a smaller compass than in the ordinary
way I likewise claim on the ground of utility by reason of the facility afforded for
cleaning the pipe Cigar Tube or Cigarette holder by means of the manner of
opening and closing my mount and thereby effecting a great saving of time and
labour and also its non liability to be broken or to get out of order

page_text: SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent and of
an Order of the Lord Chancellor filed by the said William Rest in the Great
Seal Patent Office on the 26th October 1882.
WILLIAM REST of 16 Albion Buildings Aldersgate Street in the City of London
Silversmith and Pipe Mounter IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MODE OF CONNECTING AND
MOUNTING TOBACCO PIPES CIGAR TUBES AND CIGARETTE HOLDERS FOR SMOKING
TOBACCO AND CIGARS
The object of my invention is to apply my mount to any pipe Cigar Lubo or
Cigarette holder and to partially connect and disconnect the saino to and from the
mouth piece or stein thereof by means of a hinge so fixed on the top bottom or
side of such mount (and so connecting the two parts of the mount) of the pipe
Tube or Cigarette holder as the case may be or require which mount is so made
and arranged as to close in upon a catch lock or spring so fixed as to hold and firmly
fix and unite the mouth picco and pipe Tube or Cigarette holder together and 1 so
form an inner tube within one half of the mount so as to contain a spiral spring
which spring acting in conjunction with a moveable tube so arranged as to act upon
a projection which I make from the other half of tho mount and constructed also
so as to act in conjunction with the aforesaid catch lock or spring thus rendering
the joint of the mount perfectly air tight and fit for use. The before mentioned
moveable tubo being so arranged as to prevent the nicotine from entering the mouth
of the smoker and leaving a perfectly open channel for smoking any pipe tubo or
holder to which my said invention is applied.
I proceed with reference to the accompanying drawings to describe more
particularly the mode of carrying the Invention into practical effect.
Figs 1 and 1 represent sections of an ordinary Tobacco pipe with my improved
mount affixed thereto-Fig 1 representing a pipe partially open Fig 1ª representing
as near as may be closed
Fig reprosents a section of the mount open (upon an enlarged scale) the letter A
represents that part of the mount containing the spiral spring B represents the other
half of the mount containing the projection on the face thereof the letters C and D
representing the inner and outer tubes between which the Spiral Spring is so
arranged as to net in conjunction with both parts of the mount the lotter Cas
before mentioned represents the said moveablo tube contained in that portion of
my mount Fig 2 which is annexed to the stem of the pipe and around which tubo
is another larger tube Dand between the tubes Cand D I so arrange or fix a spring
so contrived as to permit of that portion of my mount Fig 2. B being pressed against
it when the mount is closed so as to render the wholo air tight
On the face of the part ▲ I fix an iunor or smaller face e around the mouth of
the moveablo tubo C and I so arrange it as to permit of its working backwards
when pressed against by the part marked and forwards when the mount is open
In that part of my mount B I form and fix a projecting ring ƒ around the orifico
which closes upon the part A of my mount
By means of a hinge I connect the two portions of my mount together and when
so pressed or closed as before described and represented in Fig 2ª I cause the same
to remain fixed by means of the catch lock before mentioned
Fig 3 represents a pipe folded up ready to be disposed of after having been used
Fig 4. is an elevation of a pipe ready for use with my mount affixed thereto
Having now described the nature of the said Invention and in what manner the
same may be performed I declare that I claim the advantage and Novelty of the
mode of construction of my mount by means of the Spiral Spring and moveable

page_text: tube inserted therein and of the manner in which such mount is rendered air tight
I also claim the utility of my invention by reason of the convenience it affords to
the smoker in folding up the pipe or stem without separating the pipe tube or stem
as in the ordinary and other modes so as to allow of its being carried in the pocket
in a smaller compass-I likewise claim on the ground of utility by reason of the
facility afforded for cleaning the pipe Cigar tube or Cigarette holder by means of
the mode of opening and closing my mount thereby effecting a great saving of timo
and labour and also of its nonliability to be broken or to get out of order as with
differently made mounts-I further claim to manufacture such connecting mount or
joint in all kinds of metal as also in amber tortoiseshell horn shagreen vulcanite
Ivory bone glass or any other material jointly or otherwise applicable to its formation
and manufacture
In witness whereof I the said William Rest have hereunto set my hand and
seal this twenty sixth day of October in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and eighty two.
