Improvements in or relating to Pipes for Smoking.
Year: 1897

page_text: A communication from Messrs. VUILLARD & STRAUSS, Tobacco Manufacturers, of
Saint-Claude (Jura), in the Republic of France.
I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT of 111 Hatton Garden, in the County of Middlesex,
Chartered Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
This invention relates to a tobacco pipe provided with intersecting perforations
or smoke-passages; on the one hand in the part of the pipe adjoining the bowl,
and on the other hand in the stem and mouth piece part.
This method of perforation enables the smoke to be completely divided and
ensures an efficient smoke passage even in case one of the perforations or divisions
becomes clogged.
The pipe with intersecting passages may be made of any desired shape and
material. It may be provided with intersecting perforations both in the stem
adjoining the bowl and in the mouthpiece, or only in the stem adjoining the
bowl; in the latter case the mouthpiece is provided with one, two or more parallel
or other passages through which the smoke enters the mouth. Finally, only the
stem or mouthpiece may be provided with intersecting perforations.
Dated this 26th day of April 1897.

Improvements in or relating to Pipes for Smoking.
A. communication from Messrs. VUILLARD & STRAUSS, Tobacco Manufacturers, of
Saint-Claude (Jura), in the Republic of France.
I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT, of 111 Hatton Garden, in the County of Middlesex,
Chartered Patent Agent, 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 a tobacco pipe provided with intersecting perforations

page_text: channels or smoke passages; on the one hand in the part of the pipe adjoining
the bowl, and on the other hand in the stem and mouth piece part.
This method of perforation enables the smoke to be completely divided and
ensures an efficient smoke passage even in case one of the perforations or divisions
becomes clogged or stopped.
This pipe with intersecting passages may be made of any desired shape and
material. It may be provided with intersecting perforations both in the stem
adjoining the bowl and in the mouthpiece; or only in the stem adjoining the
bowl; in the latter case the mouthpiece is provided with one two or more parallel
or other passages through which the smoke enters the mouth. Finally only the
stem or mouthpiece may be provided with intersecting perforations.
The accompanying drawing represents two forms of pipe with intersecting
perforations according to the present invention.
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal elevation of a pipe of ordinary shape in the stem of which
there are formed intersecting perforations or channels.
Figs. 22 and 2 show respectively a horizontal section of a pipe with intersecting
perforations and vertical sections of said pipe at the place where the mouth piece
engages with the hollow of the stem 2 being a view of the bowl part and 2" being
a view of the stem part. In this pipe the mouth piece is supposed to have only
one connecting tenon or recess.
Figs. 33 and 3B are corresponding views of another construction of pipe with
intersecting channels in which the mouth piece is provided with two connecting
tenons of grooves.
The same letters indicate the same parts throughout the drawings.
The stem 6 adjoining the bowl a is provided with two passages or channels c c¹
intersecting at 2; these passages extend from the bottom a' of the bowl and end
in a recessed or hollow part m forming a single chamber (Fig. 2) or in two
chambers m m (Fig. 3) formed in the end of the stem b.
The mouth piece is provided with two longitudinal lioles or passages d d inter-
secting at these passages extend from the inner end e¹ and terminate at the
other and outer end of the mouthpiece c.
The connection of the mouthpiece e with the stem bis effected by causing one
or more tenons e¹ to penetrate more or less into one or more recesses m in the
stem of the bowl part. In case of a single tenon the ring may be provided with
a pin n projecting inwards into the single recess m the tenon e in this case being
provided with a groove e (Fig. 2) in which the pin enters.
This pin or projection n may lie introduced into the recess or be in one piece
with the rest of the pipe.
The intersecting passages c c and d d may be arranged in the same plane or in
planes at right angles to one another.
The passages c c¹ may be parallel or at an angle instead of being intersecting
the passages d d would then be arranged to intersect or vice versa.
This pipe with intersecting passages may be constructed of any material and in
any shape and dimensions.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion as communicated to me by my foreign correspondents and in what manner
the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is:-
1. A tobacco pipe provided with intersecting passages in the stem adjoining the
bowl and in the mouth piece or in either the stem or mouth piece part only the
passages in the other part being formed parallel or inclined relatively to the axis
of the pipe stem substantially as described.
2. A tobacco pipe with intersecting passages made in both stem and mouth
piece in which the mouth piece is connected to the stem of the bowl by means of
either one or two tenons or projections engaging with a recess or recesses in the
end of the stem of the bowl substantially as described,

page_text: 3. The combination and arrangement of parts constituting the complete pipe for
smoking substantially as described and illustrated in Figures 2, 24, 2, or in
Figures 3, 3, 3 of the accompanying drawings.
