LETTERS PATENT to Frederick Stanfield, of Malpas Road, Lewisham High
Road, in the County of Kent, for the Invention of IMPROVEMENTS IN
TOBACCO PIPES AND CIGAR HOLDERS."
Sealed the 11th May 1877, and dated the 16th November 1876
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Frederick Stanfield at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 16th November 1876.
FREDERICK STANFIELD, of Malpas Road, Lewisham High Road, in the County of
"IMPROVEMENTS IN TOBACCO PIPES AND CIGAR HOLDERS."
Kent.
This Invention relates to improvements in the construction of pipes and tubes for
smoking tobacco and cigars, whereby the smoke is caused to pass through a passage
or chamber containing water or other liquid. For this purpose the stem of a pipe
or cigar holder is formed with a passage or chamber, which is partly filled with
water or other suitable liquid. The inlet and outlet passages for the smoke to pass
into and out of the tube or chamber consist of small tubes which project a suitable
distance into the interior of the chamber in order to prevent the escape of the water
when the tube is placed in a vertical or inclined position by acting on the principle
of the fountain ink bottle. Only sufficient water or liquid is introduced into the
tube or chamber as not to flow through the inlet or outlet passages in any position
in which the pipe or cigar holder may be placed. Perfumed liquid may be used in
the tube or chamber if desired.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent filed

The inlet and outlet passages for the smoke to pass
into and out of the tube or chamber consist of small tubes which project a suitable
distance into the interior of the chamber in order to prevent the escape of the water
when the tube is. placed in a vertical or inclined position by acting on the principle
of the fountain ink bottle. Only sufficient water or liquid is introduced into the
tube or chamber as not to flow through the inlet or outlet passages in any position
in which the pipe or cigar holder may be placed. Perfumed liquid may be used in
the tube or chamber if desired.
And in order that my Invention may be clearly understood, and readily performed
or carried into practice, I will proceed to describe the Drawings hereto annexed.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figure 1 shows a longitudinal section of a pipe for smoking tobacco arranged and
constructed in accordance with my Invention; and Figure 2 is a longitudinal
section of the tube for containing water or other liquid, which in this arrangement
is inserted in the stem of the pipe. A is a tube made of glass or other suitable
material, formed with fountain internal ends A¹, and partially filled with water or
other liquid; B is a chamber formed in the stem of the pipe to receive the fountain
tube A.
Figure 3 shows a cigar tube or holder having a fountain tube A combined there-
with in accordance with my Invention; Figure 4 is a separate view of the fountain
tube A. A is the fountain tube, and B the chamber or passage formed in the cigar
holder for receiving it.
The fountain tube A, in place of being inserted in a chamber B, as previously
described, may be applied in various ways to the pipe or cigar holder, and may be
made of any suitable material in place of glass.
Having thus described the nature of my Invention, and the manner of performing
the same, I would remark that I do not claim any of the parts which are well
known and in common use, but what I claim is, the arrangement and application of
the fountain tube A to a tobacco pipe or cigar holder, substantially in the manner
and for the purpose herein-before described and represented in the Drawings hereto
annexed.
In witness whereof, I, the said Frederick Stanfield, have hereunto set my hand
and seal, this Eleventh day of May, in the year of our Lord One thousand
eight hundred and seventy-seven
