Definitions

  • a P tamper includes a tamper element having a tamper disc at the outer end thereof and being pivoted 52 us. (:1.
  • the prior art in this field includes a pipe stopper which includes a pivotable wiper'lever which is movable over the stopper plate or disc and which carries wiper means in the form of a brush or other wiper element.
  • a pipe stopper which includes a pivotable wiper'lever which is movable over the stopper plate or disc and which carries wiper means in the form of a brush or other wiper element.
  • the additional wiper lever requires a careful reciprocating movement over the stopper plate when'the latter is to be cleaned.
  • the invention proposes to attain the above objective by providing a pipe stopper comprising a stopper element, a pin, and a scraper blade or scraper spoon, including a wiper device which, according to the invention, is articulated at the pivot point of the utensil and has the form of a yoke or handle in whose end portion is arranged a wiper brush or other suitable wiper means which cleans the stopper plate when it passes over the latter.
  • the invention further provides that the pivot point of the utensil be shifted in the direction of the working ends of the elements in such a way that the opposite end of the utensil presents a short, stem-like handle or shaft which serves for the opening of the utensil by pressing against this handle protion, while the utensil itself is seized on the wiper yoke.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention further provides that the scraper blade and the stopper have oppositely oriented L-shap'ed angular profiles, so arranged that the short leg of the L substantially covers the sides of the other two elements. In this way the' stopper and the scraper form a neat, closed package when they are joined together.
  • FIG. 1 is an elevational side view of a closed pipe stopper embodying the invention, a partially open position being shown in dotted lines;
  • FIG. 2 is a partially cross-sectioned elevational side view of the pipe stopper of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is an elevational view of the opened elements of the pipe stopper'of FIG. 1, with the yoke removed and a portion of the tamper being shown in section;
  • FIG. 4 is a horizontal cross section through the pipe stopper of FIGS. 1 and 2 along line AA of FIG. 2.
  • a pipe stopper with three working elements, a scraper blade 6, a pin 7, and a stopper or tamper 8 (FIG. 3).
  • the member 8 has a tamping disc,9 appearing at the upper end of FIG. 3.
  • the three elements are linked together by a pivot 2 and are surrounded by a yoke l which is likewise articulated at pivot 2.
  • Yoke l is U-shaped and has a wiper brush 4 which cooperates with the tamping disc 9 so as to wipe any ash residues therefrom, when closed by the same.
  • the scraper blade 6 and member 8 are preferably L- shaped in profile and so arranged relative to one another that their oppositely oriented L-shapes take the form shown in FIG. 4 when the elements are in closed position.
  • This arrangement has the advantage thatit protects the pipe stopper from becoming tangled up with other utensils because it presents no cavities or recesses inside in which other objects might get caught.
  • the short legs of the oppositely facing L-profiles form outer end faces for the closed utensil which are slightly recessed relative to the surrounding yoke 1.
  • This arrangement has the additional advantage that any residue which may have remained on pin 7 cannot fall into the pocket of the user, bur remains inside the closed pipe stopper.
  • the L-shaped profiles of the stopper and scraper elements have the additional .advantage in that they present a practical and convenient cleaning and poking utensil which is easier to seize with the fingers than a flat scraper blade or stopper element alone.
  • the lower ends of the stopper 8 and scraper blade 6 protrude downwardly below the lower end of yoke 1 in the form of a stem 3 which is arranged to serve as a handle extension for swiveling the stopper elements out of the closed position into the open position shown in FIG. 1 by dotted lines.
  • a pipe tamper comprising in combination:
  • a tamper element having an inner end and an outer end
  • At least one additional element pivotable about said pivot; and wherein at least one of the elements includes a handle extension which protrudes beyond the inner end of the yoke.
