UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
ALEXANDER \VILLOUGHBY MONTGOMERY MOORE, OF DUBLIN, IRELAND.
CLEANER FOR PIPES AND CIGAR-HOLDERS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 340,593, dated April 2'7, 1886 Application filed November 23, 1885. Serial No. 183,812. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALEXANDER WIL- LOUGHBY MONTGOMERY MooRE, a'subject of the Queen of Great Britain, residing at 5 Brighton Square, East Rathgar, Dublin, Ireland, have invented a Cleaner for Pipes and Cigar-Holders, of which the following is a specification.
The object of this invention is to provide a cheap and efficient cleaner forpipes and cigarholders. For this purpose I form a cleaner for pipes or cigar-holders of a piece of twine, cord, or string, untwisted or unplaited at one end, so as to form it into a tassel or brush, and at the other end cut to a point and stiffened by suitable stiffening material applied to it.
In carrying out my invention I prefer to form the cleaners from lengths of cotton twine or cord of the kind known as macram twine, composed of three, four or other nu mber of strands twisted or layed together, and each composed of nine, ten, or other number of separate threads of cotton lightly twisted together. Such cord is, as usual, slightly dressed with stiffening material to improve its appearance and to cement the threads slightly together, but yet so as to leave the cord flexible, so that it can be freely bent. The end of such a cord can readily be untwisted and the separate threads in the strands of which it is composed separated one from the other simply by combing it with a' comb, so as to form it into a tassel or brush.
Other kinds of twine, cord, or string,which are made up of numerous threads lightly twisted or plaited together, and which can be readily unplaited or untwisted at one end, so as to form a tassel or cord, may be employed, and they may be of other fibrous material. Tightly twisted or plaited cords are not suitable for the purpose, as they are difficult to unplait or unravel, and when untwisted or unraveled have a strong tendency to again twist or look together. The opposite end of the twine or cord I cut to a point by cutting it across at an angle, and then in order to stiffen this end of the cord so that it shall not readily bend, I dip it into a solution of stiffening material, using by preference size or glue.
After dipping the ends of the cleaners in the stiffening solution they should have all superfluous stiffening material removed from them by drawing them between nipping-surfaces. Other ways than that described of applying the stiffening material might, however, be adopted.
The stiffening material used should be such that when dry it will not readily absorb moisture from the atmosphere, in order that the stiffened ends of the cleaners may remain stiff even if kept in a damp place.
The twine, cord, or string may be colored, if desired, to various colors to improve the ap pearance of the cleaners.
Preferably I make each cleaner about fifteen inches in length. One end I untwist or unravel and comb out or separate into the numerous threads of which the cord, twine, or string is composed, so as to form it into a tassel. The opposite end, after it has been out to a point, I stiffen for a length of about nine inches, leaving three inches of the cord, twine, or string and the tassel uustiffeued.
The way in which cleaners formed as above described are to be used is as follows: The pointed end is inserted into the pipe or cigarholder at the mouthpiece end and pushed through the pipe or cigar-holder till it appears at the other mouth of the bowl,where it is seized, with the assistance of a small piece of paper, so as not to dirty the fingers, and it is then pulled right through, when it will be found that the tassel or brush has thoroughly cleansed the pipe or cigarholder.
Before pulling the tassel through it may be dipped in spirits of wine or other suitable fiuid, if desired.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is- A cleaner for pipes and ci gar-holders, formed of a length of twine, cord,or string, unplaited or untwisted at one end to form itintoatassel. and at the other end cut to a point and stift ened by stiffening material applied to it, substantially as described.
