PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and Connected with Pipes, Cigar Holders, and
Cigarette Holders.
1, JOSEPH DIAZ DE BENJUMEA, Mining Engineer, 85 Arlington Street, New
North Road, in the City of London, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
:-
This invention relates to pipes, cigar holders and cigarette holders, & has for its.
object the facilitating of cleaning the nicotine formed inside pipes, cigar holders, &.
cigarette holders, during smoking.
In carrying out this invention I prefer to employ a pipe, cigar holder and
cigarette holder straight and tapering in section from end to end and longitudinally
divided into two or more parts but preferably in halves through the axis.
On each part I place small dowels, studs, or tongues; and rings to connect the
two divided parts. These are made capable of being fastened & unfastened.
By this arrangement the pipe, cigar holder, and cigarette holder can be un-
fastened thus rendering it easy to clean inside the narrow tube and avoiding the
inconvenience of special pipe cleaners.
The mouth pieces & bowl of pipe can either be of the ordinary type or
constructed on similar principles to the above. If necessary between the two
halves a thin band of cork or any other material can be placed for tightening it the.
better & preventing the smoke from getting through the two pieces.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and Connected with Pipes, Cigar Holders, and.
Cigarette Holders.
I, JOSEPH DIAZ DE BENJUMEA, Mining Engineer, 85 Arlington Street, New
North Road, in the City of London, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:—
This invention relates to pipes, cigar holders and cigarette holders, and has for
its object the facilitating of cleaning out of the nicotine formed therein during
smoking.
In carrying out this invention I prefer to employ a pipe, cigar or cigarette holder
straight and tapering in section from end to end and longitudinally divided into two
or more parts but preferably in halves through the axis. On each part I place
small dowels, studs, or tongues and rings to connect the two divided parts. These
are made capable of being fastened and unfastened.
By this arrangement the pipe, cigar or cigarette holder can be unfastened thus
rendering it easy to clean inside the narrow tube and avoiding the inconvenience of
special pipe cleaners.
The mouth pieces and bowls of pipes can either be of the ordinary type or
constructed on similar principles to the above. If necessary between the two
halves a thin band of cork or other material can be placed for making a tight joint
and preventing the smoke from escaping between the pieces.

piece separated.

Figure 5 is a side elevation showing the invention applied to a pipe and
Figure 6 shows the same application, the two sections being separated.
Like letters refer to like parts in the several figures.
In Figures 1 and 2 A and B are the two longitudinal portions or halves forming
the cigar or cigarette holder. Small pins tongues or dowels are formed on one or
both faces and fit into corresponding grooves on the opposite halves. These pins
help to keep the two halves together and these are further secured by rings C
which as shown are conical to conform to the shape of the holder.
Between the two portions A and B I place a thin strip D of any suitable
substance such as asbestos, cork, india-rubber or the like, which will form a tight
joint, thus preventing the smoke from escaping through the joint.
In Figure 4a separate mouth-piece E is shewn screwing on to the divided
shank AB¹.
Figure 5 shows the invention applied to an ordinary pipe the barrel being formed
as in the case of the holder of two parts A and B each having at either end semi-
circular screw shanks A¹ B' (Fig. 6) so that when the two portions are brought
together the mouthpiece is screwed on the shank at one end and the bowl I on
the shank at the other end.
The whole may be secured by pins and rings as in the case described above.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what ]
claim is :-
1. A. divided pipe stem, cigar or cigarette holder with a packed joint.
2. The cigar or cigarette holder substantially as described and illustrated in the
accompanying drawings.
3. The pipe substantially as described and illustrated in the accompanying
drawings.
