I, JOHN SMITH RAWORTH, of 112, Belvedere Road, Lambeth, in the County of
Surrey, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention has reference to a kind of case or cover designed to protect a tobacco
pipe, and to obviate the scratching and choking with dust that occur when a pipe is
carried in the pocket without a case; also to seal the pipe (when out of use) so that
unpleasant odour may not be communicated to the clothes of the person carrying it.
Such a case or cover I make wholly or partly of elastic material such as india-rubber.
It comprises a cap for the pipe bowl, a cap for the mouth-piece, and a connecting
link or connector that may also serve as a complete or partial cover for the stem of
the pipe.
The three parts, however, need not necessarily be distinct from each other,
but may be made all in one piece or of separate pieces so joined as to constitute one
piece. The improved case or cover can be applied to a pipe by fixing the one cap on
the bowl, and extending the elastic connector until the other cap can be got on to the
mouth-piece the elasticity of the material will then draw both caps tight, and
enable them to fulfil the objects set forth above. Cases or covers for pipes as described
may be made at moderate cost; will occupy less space than ordinary ones; may 'be
made impermeable; and one size of case or cover will be adapted to several sizes of
pipes.

page_text: I, JOHN SMITH RAWORTH, of 112, Belvedere Road, Lambeth, in the county of
Surrey, Engineer, 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 has reference to a kind of case or cover designed to protect a tobacco
pipe, and to obviate the scratching and choking with dust that occur when a pipe is
carried in the pocket without a case; also to seal the pipe (when out of use) so that
unpleasant odour may not be communicated to the clothes of the person carrying it.
Such a case or cover I, make wholly or partly of elastic material such as india-
rubber. It comprises a cap for the pipe bowl, a cap for the mouth-piece, and a con-
necting link or connector that may also serve as a complete or partial cover for the
stem of the pipe. The three parts, however, need not necessarily be distinct from
each other, but may be made all in one piece or of separate pieces so joined as to
constitute one piece. The improved case or cover can be applied to a pipe by fixing
the one cap on the bowl and extending the elastic connector until the other cap can be
got on to the mouth-piece; the elasticity of the material will then draw both caps
tight, and enable them to fulfil the objects set forth above. Cases or covers for pipes
as described may be made at moderate cost; will occupy less space than ordinary
ones; may be made impermeable; and one size of case or cover will be adapted to
several sizes of pipes.
In the accompanying drawings,
Fig. 1 is a perspective view illustrating the application of a case or cover
according to this invention to a pipe with a curved stem.
Fig. 2 is a similar view illustrating the application of the case or cover to a pipe
with a straight stem.
In each example shown, the case or cover A is made with the caps for the bowl
and mouth-piece respectively of the pipe, and the part connecting these caps, in one
piece of suitable material, such as india-rubber, with an opening or openings therein
at B for the insertion of the pipe C.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion, and in what manner it is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is:―
My improved cases or covers for tobacco pipes substantially as described with
reference to the drawings annexed.
