Embodiment Construction

[0031]Turning now to the drawings and, more particularly to FIG. 1, a protective cover for a smoking pipe is illustrated generally at 10 and includes a generally elongate, generally tubular body member 12 which is formed from elastic material. The body portion 12 includes a bowl portion 14 formed at one end thereof, a stem portion 20 formed at an opposite end thereof and a shank portion 18 extending intermediate the bowl portion 14 and the stem portion 20. The bowl portion 14 is formed with an access opening 16 therein. The shank portion 18 and stem portion 20 extend linearly from a generally upstanding bowl portion 14 and terminate at a utility opening 22 in the stem portion 20. The body member 12 is configured in the general manner of a smoking pipe and is hollow.

[0032]The entire protective cover 10 is formed from a generally elastic resilient material. An object of invention is to provide a protective cover for the surface of a smoking pipe and the resilient material which may be...

Abstract

A protective cover for a smoking pipe includes a generally elongate generally tubular body member formed from elastic material and defining a bowl portion, a stem portion and a shank portion, the body member including a bowl access opening formed in the bowl portion and a stem utility opening formed in the stem portion, the body member being configured for receiving a smoking pipe through the access opening for substantial envelopment of the smoking pipe by the body member, the body member being configured to stretch from a rest disposition prior to insertion of a smoking pipe through the access opening wherein the body member has a first internal volume dimension to a use disposition for gripping at least one of the bowl portion, the shank portion and the stem portion wherein the body member has a second internal volume dimension, wherein the material returns toward its original shape when the stress of pipe fitment is removed thereby substantially enveloping the smoking pipe.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates broadly to smoking accessories, especially accessories for smoking pipes. More particularly, the present invention relates to a protective cover made from elastic material for use with a smoking pipe.[0002]For pipe smokers, a pipe can be a unique structural vessel for supporting smoking material during use. Pipes may be uniquely configured from various materials. A common material for smoking pipes is briarwood carved into the desired configuration to form a smoking pipe. A smoking pipe will typically include a bowl defining a smoking chamber, a shank extending away from the bowl with the shank having an air passageway formed therein for communication with the chamber. A stem extends away from the shank with the stem having a similar air passageway formed there through for delivering smoke to the user of the pipe through the stem.[0003]As stated above, a common medium for pipes is briarwood and example of such briarwood ...
