6 Claims.
This invention relates to a smoker's pipe rack.
The invention provides a pipe rack with a canopy to' seat on one of the holder members and cooperate therewith to form a compartment so that the free ends of the stems of pipes mounted in the pipe rack and extending beyond one side of the holder member are housed within the compartment formed by the canopy. The canopy also prevents dust and dirt from entering the stem of a pipe when the pipe bowl is supported by one holder member while the stem is supported by another carrying the canopy. The canopy also eliminates-the unsightly appearance of the free ends of the stems of pipes carried in the rack and provides a means for closing a pipe cleaner compartment carried by the pipe rack and having the open end projecting into the compartment.
The invention also provides a. pipe rack having the one holder member mounted for positioning at different distances from the other so it may be selectively adjusted to any one of a plurality of difierent spaced positions relative to the other member to conveniently accommodate pipes with different length stems in such a manner that the stems will not project into engagement with the canopy.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 shows a pipe rack constructed according to the present invention, in perspective.
Figure 2 is a vertical cross section with portions left in elevation for convenience in illustration.
Figure 3 is a cross section taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
Figure 4 is a side elevation of a pipe rack similar in construction to the one shown in Figs. 1 and 2 with portions broken away and shown in cross section for convenience in illustrating how the upright may be constructed to provide a pipe cleaner receptacle and how the top member may be adjustably mounted on the upright for support at diiferent elevations above the base.
Figure 5 is a cross section taken on line 55 of Fig. 4.
Figure 6 is a cross section on an enlarged scale taken on line 66 of Fig. 5.
The pipe rack includes a holder member or base I, of any suitable shape, but is illustrated in r surface of a desk, table or other suitable piece of furniture.
An upright 3 is suitably mounted on the base and extends upwardly therefrom. In the pipe rack illustrated, upright 3 is shaped in any desired manner, such as that illustrated, to present an ornamental appearance and at 4 is provided with a shoulder from which a reduced cylindrical portion 5 extends upwardly. A top plate or holder member 6 of disc shape is provided with a central opening adapted to slidably engage on portion 5 and be supported on shoulder 4. A ferrule I is engaged over reduced end 5 and rests on shoulder 4 for supporting top member 6.
This ferrule is provided for adding to the ornamental appearance of the pipe rack and also as a spacer member to position top plate 6 at a desired spaced distance substantially parallel to and above base I, as illustrated in Fig. 2. Top plate 8 is formed with a plurality of pipe supporting means or apertures 8 corresponding in number to the recesses 2 in base i. Apertures 8 are arranged in members 6 so as to be aligned with recesse 2. These apertures 8 are adapted to receive the ends of pipe stems when the pipe is mounted in the rack in the manner shown in Fig. 2, in dot and dash lines, with the bowl engaged in one of the recesses 2 in base I.
The periphery of top plate 6 is formed to provide a seat portion 8 for receiving the edge portion of a canopy 10 to support the canopy in detachable relation on said top plate. The canopy is supported in the manner illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 with the central portion in spaced relation above top plate 6 while the edge portion extends in depending relation from the central portion to engage and be supported on the seat 9 about the periphery of plate 6.
In this way canopy 10 forms a compartment over top of top plate 6 into which the upper ends of the stems projecting above plate 6 extend, and in which they are con; cealed and protected from dust, dirt and the like. The canopy covers the ends of the pipe stems and adds an attractive ornamental appearance to the pipe rack. The handle, ll mounted on the top central portion of the canopy adds to the ornamental appearance of the pipe rack and provides a means for manually remov ing the canopy from plate 6 when access to the compartment above plate 6 is desired.
Referring to Figs. 4 to 6 inclusive, the pipe rack shown therein is substantially similar to the pipe rack shown in Figs. 1 to 3. This pipe rack is provided with the same type of base construction and with an upright I2 having the upper end provided with an elongated bore l3 opening through the upper end to provide a pipe cleaner compartment. The upper ends of pipe cleaners in the compartment will project slightly above the upper end of upright l2 so they may be manually gripped for removal from the compartment.
The outer surface of the upper end portion of upright I2 is provided with a plurality of annular grooves I4. Top plate I5 is provided with a plurality of pipe receiving apertures l6 and has a central opening receiving a supporting sleeve II suitably mounted therein to carry top plate 15. Sleeve ll extends above the upper face of top plate l5 and carries a pair of ears l8 in spaced parallel relation to receive pivot projections I9 formed in the central portion of retaining latch 20. Retaining latch 20 has a laterally extending end 2| projecting through a slot in sleeve I! to engage in any one of the grooves l4. A suitable spring 22 normally actuates latch 20 to normally retain projection 2| in a groove I. By depressing the free end of latch 20 projection 2| can be withdrawn from groove ll when it is desired to adjust top member I5 into another posi tion at a diilerent distance from the pipe rack base.
A canopy 23 is mounted on top member l5 in the same manner as canopy I is mounted on top member 6.
In the construction illustrated in Figs. 4 to 6, top member I may be readily positioned at varying distances above the base by removing canopy 23 and manually disengaging the end 2| of latch 20 from groove I4 whereupon the plate member may be slidably moved up and down on upright 42 to another position where the end 2| of latch 20 engages in another groove II. A compartment is provided above top member I5 for enclosing and covering the upper ends of pipe stems mounted in the rack, and provides a cover for the upper ends of pipe cleaners in the compartment in upright l2, as well as adding to the ornamental appearance of the pipe rack.
The pipe rack may have the holder members constructed and arranged in diilerent ways to receive and support pipes therein, wherein the free ends of the stems will project beyond one side of one of these holder members. The canopy in cooperating with one of these holder members to enclose the free ends of the stems provides a cooperation with the holder members that not only adds utility to the pipe rack but provides for cooperation that will facilitate many ditlerent combinations of holder members and canopy for supporting pipes in an eflicient manner for convenient handling. At the same time the unsightly appearance is eliminated.
Various shapes and arrangements of the pipe rack may be made to give difierent ornamental appearance. Variations may be made in the shape and arrangement of the cover on top member Is to change the ornamental appearance of the pipe rack in any desired manner, while still maintaining the arrangement illustrated, in which the canopy protects the upper ends of the pipes to eliminate the unsightly appearance thereof while adding an ornamental appearance to the pipe rack. The arrangement of the pipes in the pipe rack may be varied as fashion and convenience dictate.
The invention claimed is:
