G. BAZ UTKA TOBACCO PIPE CLEANER Original Filed Sept. 18, 1924 Patented July 28, 1925.

UNITED STATES TOBACCO-PIPE CLEANER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE'BAZUTKA, a citizen of United States, residing at 312 E. 69th Street, New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Tobacco-Pipe Cleaners, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a tobacco pipe cleaner and has for its prime object to provide a device of this nature which is efficient in removing the incrustation of carbon and like material which forms on the interior of a tobacco pipe. 7

Another important object of the invention is to provide a device of this nature which is simple in construction, easy to manipulate, readily carried about, reliable, inexpensive to manufacture, and well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed.

\Vith the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in certain novel features of construction, and in the combination and arrangementof parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawing: 1 V

Figure 1' is a view showing a pipe with the bowl in section and 'my device applied thereto.

Figure 2 is a transverse section there-' through substantially on the line 22 of Figure, 1, looking downwardly.

Figure 3 is another section therethrough taken substantially onthe

line

3,3 of Figure 1.

Figure & is a perspective View of the sheath for the device.

Figure 5 is a plan view of the open end of a tobacco pipe bowl showing my invention applied thereto.

Figure 6 is a prespective View of a second modification of the device.

Referring to the drawing in detail and the form of the invention shown, it will be seen that 1 designates the body-or blade of the device which is constructed atone end with the curved edge 2 which is adapted to be engaged with the bottom of the tobacco pipe bowl as indicated in Figure 1. The two side edges 3 of the blade are substantially straight and form the. terminals of the beveled portions 4. A cross head 5 is PATEN GEORGE BAZUTKA, on NEW Yon- N. Y.

Divided and this. application filed April formed integral with the end ofthe blade 1 opposite to that which is curved and'is substantially wider than the blade so asto form shoulders '6 upon which are mounted scraping elements 7 which are adapted to clean the open end of the pipe bowl. The

modification shown in Figure 6 is identicalv wlth that shown in Figure 1, except that the scraping elements 7 are inclined for scraping the open end-of the bowlwhen the same is beveled-inwardly. In these two modifications it is to be noted that thedevice tapers slightly both in width and thickness from the cross head 5 to the curved end 2. The

sheath 8 shown in Figure 4 is shaped to conform to the configuration of the blade 1 when the device is not-being used. This sheath may be made of any suitable material, sheet metal being preferable. protects the pocket, in which the device may be carried.v It is advisable that the device he carried on a keyv ring or the like, and for this purpose an eye 9is provided on the upper ed 'e of the head 5. A button or like This sheath 7 projection 10 is formed on thesheath in" order that it may be easily fittedv over the blade or taken therefrom.

I In the invention just. described the blade is made to fit the bowl and of course must be placed on the market in different sizes. It'is placed in the bowl as shown in Figure 1 and then-- twisted or rotated so as to scrape the incrustation of carbon or other -material from the interior of the bowl and the elements 7 will scrape similar incrustation frointhe open end thereof. v

It is thought that the construction and operation of the invention should now be clearly understood without a more detail description thereof. While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been described in detail, it will be understood that I do not wish to belimited to the particular construction set forth, since various changes .in the form, material, proportions, and ar- 'ber 18, 1824', Serial N o. 7355, 181, relating to tobacco pipe cleaners."

Having thus described my invention, What I claim as new is: p

1. A pipe clea-ningdevice of the-class'de-' scribed including a blade having straight side edges and a rounded end, the side being beveled and the blade tapering longitudinally toward the rounded edge, a cross head formed on the blade, said cross head being substantially Wider than'the blade so as "to scraping means carried adjacent said head for facilitating the scraping; of the outer end of'a pipe boWl:

3. A pipe cleaning device comprising a scraping blade adapted to scrape the interior of a pipe bowl, and means associatedtherewith for'facilitating the scraping of the outer end of a pipe bowl.
