Complete Specification Left, 31st July, 1897-Accepted, 4th Sept., 1897
I, JOEL MYERS, of 33 Randolph Crescent, Maida Hill, 'in the County of London,
Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention has for its object to so construct tobacco pipes that no moisture
shall remain in the bowl, after smoking, and that the tobacco therein may be consumed
entirely.
To this end, I form or provide the pipe with an upwardly curved mouthpiece,
instead of with a downwardly curved one, as heretofore, and I arrange or dispose the
bowl at an obtuse angle to the stem of the pipe, so that the smoke from the bowl
shall not find its way into the smoker's eyes. The mouthpiece and stem may be in
two portions, or they may be formed in one, this latter construction being more
specially applicable to clay pipes.
By my construction of pipe with an upwardly curved mouthpiece, all moisture or
saliva from the mouth is prevented entering the bowl of the pipe, and a "cool" and
"dry" smoke is thus obtained.

I, JOEL MYERS, of 33 Randolph Crescent, Maida Hill, in the County of London,
Gentlemen, 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, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the
letters and figures marked thereon, that is to say:
My Invention has for its object to so construct tobacco pipes that no moisture
shall collect in the bowl or stem, and that the tobacco therein may be consumed
entirely.

on reference to the annexed drawing in

page_text: a straight one, as in the present forms of pipes, and I arrange or dispose the bowl b at
an obtuse angle to the stem c of such pipe. By this construction the smoke does not
find its way into the smoker's eyes, as is very common with pipes now in use, and
further, all moisture. or saliva from the smoker's mouth is prevented entering the
bowl of the pipe, so that I obtain what is commonly known as a "cool" and "dry"
smoke.
The mouthpiece and stem may be made in one piece, or they may be made in two
or more pieces, and connected together in any known or approved manner.
In clay
pipes, however, it will usually be found more convenient to make them in one
piece.
Obviously, my improvements may equally well be adapted to cigar and cigarette
tubes, provided such be in the form of a tobacco pipe, or approximating such
form.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of iny said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same may be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
1. A tobacco pipe having its bowl arranged at an obtuse angle to the stem, and its
mouthpiece upwardly curved, substantially as and for the purposes described.
2. My improved tobacco pipe as herein before described and shewn with reference to
the annexed drawings.
Dated this 31st day of July 1897.
