Improvements in Tobacco Pipes and Cigar and Cigarette Holders.
EDWIN SHERRING Corn and Flour Broker 39 Hanging Ditch Manchester do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The improvements relate to pipes for smoking and other purposes and consist
of a special construction of pipe with an air chamber or chambers formed
upon or around the bowl, stem or mouthpiece, such air chamber or chambers may
have perforations or openings for admission of air in any convenient position and
the openings may be arranged to conduct air round the outside of pipe, or to
inside, or both combined. This invention may be applied to holders for cigars,
cigarettes and cheroots.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tobacco Pipes and Cigar and Cigarette Holders.
I EDWIN SHERRING of No. 39 Hanging Ditch Manchester Corn Merchant
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:-
My invention consists of a special construction of tobacco pipes or cigar or
cigarette holders having an air chamber formed around the bowl or around both
the bowl and stem and also in some cases around the mouthpiece. Within the
said air chamber 1 allow air to circulate and for this purpose I form suitable
admission and exit orifices. The object of my invention is to protect the exterior
of the pipe from heat and also to cool the smoke. At the same time great
lightness of construction is obtained combined with strength. The construction
may be described as a pipe within a pipe having an annular chamber between
the two. I construct the inner and outer pipes or shells of any suitable material
or metal or composition but one part of my invention consists in constructing the
inner or outer shells or both of pipes or of the bowls or stems or mouthpieces made
wholly or in part in accordance with my invention as herein before set forth of
aluminium or alloys of which aluminium constitutes an important ingredient.
In order that my invention may be better understood I refer to the accom-
panying drawings.
Figs. 1. 2. 3. and 4 illustrate in sectional elevation various forms in which I
apply my invention to the bowls and stems of pipes.
Fig. 5 illustrates also in sectional elevation the application of my invention to
cigar and cigarette holders.
In Figs. 1. 2. 3. and 4 a is the outer shell and b the inner shell having an annular
space or chamber c between them.
In Fig. 1 the perforations d in the end of the outer shell of the stem are for the
inlet of air as shewn by the arrows. At the top of the bowl the inner and outer
shells are united by a cover or ring e through which vertical perforations allow

page_text: for the egress of air as also shewn by arrows. The air current is induced by the
conduction of heat through the inner shell from the burning tobacco.
In Fig. 2 the air outlet perforations are formed in the outer shell below the
joining cover or ringe and in Fig. 3 they are formed in the inner shell and open
into the bowl. In this latter case the outflowing air is available for supplying the
burning tobacco and the pipe made in this form can be used with a close cover
over the bowl.
In Fig. 4a cap or cover g is also used resting upon the rim h. The perforations
in this case are in the outer shell and as the cap g is formed to allow an annular
space between it and the pipe bowl the current of air passing between the inner
and outer shells of the bowl flows as indicated by the arrows and becomes the
supply for the tobacco.*
The cigar or cigarette holder shewn in Fig. 5 is also constructed with an inner
tube t and outer tube i with an annular space k between them which is closed at
either end. Air inlet holes are provided at land outlet holes at m which may be
made through the outer tube i as shewn or may be through the closing ring n.
In this view is also illustrated a chambered mouthpiece constructed in
accordance with my invention having inner and outer shells o and p and air inlets q
and outlets r.
It will be understood that thicker material for the inner shell than is illustrated
may be used such as wood meerschaum or other suitable or usual substance, thin
sheet aluminium or other metal being used for the outer shell; or this may be
reversed a thin metal inner lining being used within the pipe of wood meerschaum
or other usual material.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1. The improved pipe for smoking tobacco constructed with inner and outer
shells having an annular air chamber between them such chamber being closed at
either end and provided with inlet and outlet orifices to allow for the circulation
of air through the said chamber substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore
described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
2. The improved pipe for smoking tobacco having the bowl only or the bowl
and stem constructed with inner and outer shells with the air chamber and
orifices substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated in the accompanying
drawings.
3. The improved pipe constructed with inner and outer shells and having the
outlet crifices placed within or without the bowl substantially as and for the
purposes hereinbefore described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
4. The improved pipe constructed wholly or in part with inner and outer shells
and made wholly or in part of aluminium or an alloy thereof substantially as and
for the purposes hereinbefore described and illustrated in the accompanying
drawings.
5. The improved cigar or cigarette holder constructed with inner and outer
tubes with air chamber between and inlet and outlet orifices substantially as and
for the purposes hereinbefore described and illustrated in the accompanying
drawings.
6. The improved mouthpiece for pipes or for cigar or cigarette holders con-
structed with inner and outer tubes with air chamber between and inlet and outlet
orifices substantially as and for the purposes herein before described and illustrated
in the accompanying drawings.
Dated this Sixth day of August 1894.
