1 Claim. 1
The present invention relates to a novel and improved tobacco smoking pipe with unique selfcontained' facilities whereby the pipe may be aptly seated on a table or other surface with the bowl, stem and bit in an erect established position.
The art to which the invention relates reveals that it is common practice to provide ways and means whereby a pipe bowl, whether filled or empty, may be supported and retained in a socalled upright position. Usually, the bowl or stem, or both, will haveilat supporting underneath surfaces which are designed to set firmly on the table surface. For the most part, how ever, many .and varied forms and styles of pipe racks have been adopted to support the bowl and stem means with the bowl canted and the stem means poised. in an upwardly inclined or angular position. Since the latter 'mode of sustaining a smoking pipe in a set position appears to be acceptably popular, I have found it practical to be able to accomplish substantially the same results by especially designing and constructing the bowl to embody a self-contained base or rest.
In carrying out the principles of the invention, a simple and economical arrangement has been devised to provide a pipe in which manufacturers, users and others will find their anticipated requirements and needs fully met, contained and effectively available.
Briefly summarized, the pipe thus devised is characterized by a conventional type bowl having a lateral stem and companion bit carried by the stem, a predetermined exterior surface of the bowl having a flat faced base of proportionately balanced character which is adapted to rest on a table or the like and which serves to cant the bowl and to elevate and support the stem and bit in an inclined position with their axes at an approximate 45 angle to the table surface.
Another object of the invention is to provide a bowl having the stated base or rest wherein the latter has at least one marginal edge at right angles to the stem and made flat so that if it is preferred, the pipe may be held upright with the bowl vertical and the stem means substantially horizontal.
Other objects and advantages will become more readily apparent from the following description and the accompanying illustrative drawing.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings, wherein like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the views:
Figure 1 is a side view of a tobacco smoking pipe constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention and showing same positioned up in full lines and lying down in dotted lines.
Figure 2 is a front end elevation wherein the base is of rectangular form and ornamentally surfaced.
Figure 3 is likewise a front end elevation showing a modification wherein V the bowl itself is flattened and thus finished off to provide a somewhat oval-shaped base or rest.
Figure 4 is a front end elevation of a third modification wherein the base is substantially triangular in form.
Referring now to the drawings by way of numerals and lead lines and with reference to Figure 1, it will be seen that the bowl is denoted by the numeral 8 and in practice this may be of any suitable size, material and shape. The shape shown is appropriate to illustrate the significance and importance of the present invention. The stem, which extends laterally from the bottom of the bowl, is denoted at 8 and this carries the usual mouth piece or complemental bit Ill. The self-contained feature, the novel base or rest, is denoted by the numeral l2. This is preferably formed integral with the forward basal or wall portion of the bowl and assumes a position which is approximately oblique to the longitudinal axes of parts 8 and Ill, respectively. In outline, it is of general rectangular form and in area is sufficient to balance and support the pipe with requisite stability. The transverse or vertical end portions, as shown in Figure 2 at 14 and 16, project beyond the diametrically opposite side wall portions or surfaces H of the bowl. The lower horizontal edge 18 projects slightly beyond the bottom surface 20 of the stem 8. It follows that the base or rest l2 may be used as a finger grip but is primarily used in the alternate full and dotted line positions shown in Figure 1, where it serves to cause the pipe to stay put in the full and dotted line positions shown. Ordinarily, the face 22 will be flat so that it serves to effectively support and sustain the overall pipe with the bowl 6 canted diagonal to the table surface and with the stem and bit assuming an inclined position extending upwardly at approximately 45 from the table surface. If preferred, the projecting horizontal lower edge 18 may be brought to bear on the table surface so as to support the pipe with the bowl vertical and the stem means horizontal. The base l2 has a thickness such that the forward face thereof projects a slight distance from the forward wall portion of the bowl, so that there is a slight space between the bottom portion of the stem and the horizontal lower supporting edge of the base when the pipe is in the lying-down position and resting on the projecting lower horizontal edge 18, as seen in dotted lines in Fig. 1. Also, in this particular style of base, the surface 22 and marginal edges may be slightly roughened for appearance. r
In the modification shown in Figure 3, instead of having an extra extension as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the bowl 24 has its forward basal portion ous-shaped tobacco bowl having a bottom, forward, rearward and side wall portions, a lateral stem attached to said rearward wall portion and in alignment with said bottom, a bit carried by said stem, a predetermined exterior surface of said forward wall portion, at its point of juncture with said bottom, having an integral flat-faced base adapted to rest on a table or the like, said base being oblique tothe axes of the stem and bit and one substantiallyflat face thereof serving to support the" bowl in a canted position with the stem and bit in an upwardly inclined position cut away and flattened, as at 26, to provide the desired base and the lower edge is cut straight across as at 28 to provide a second optionally usable rest. a
In the modification appearing in Figure 4, the
Novelty is predicated on a bowl, without builtin counterweights, which has its forward basal portion, instead of the bottom, provided with satisfactory ways and means whereby a reliable,
adequately proportioned base or rest is provided, making it possible to erect and retain thepipe in the position shown in Figure 1 without the aid of a separate rack. Thus, it is possible for the user to take advantage of this feature and to conveniently set the pipe down where it stays put without toppling and without spilling tobacco from the bowl. Then, too, the projecting rests l2 and 32 may be employed as comparatively cool, non-slip finger grips for handling the pipe during its use by the smoker.
In view of the foregoing description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, it is believed that a clear understanding of the devices will be quite apparent to those skilled in I this art. A more detailed description is accordingly deemed unnecessary.
Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
A smoking pipe having a self-contained base, comprising a conventional-type generally bulband with their longitudinal axes at approximate forty-'five'degree angles to the horizontal plane of said table, said base being substantially rectangular-in outline with its respective transverse end portions projecting outwardly beyond the diametrically opposite side wall portions of said bowl, said base having a thickness such that said one substantially flat face thereof projects a slight distance from'the forward wall portion of said bowl so that there is a slight space between the bottom portion of said stem and the horizontal lower supporting edge of the base when the pipe is in the lying-down position and resting on the projecting lower horizontal edge.
