SMOKING PURPOSES."
Scaled the 25th March 1873, and dated the 26th September 1872.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said William Holloway
Fellows at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his
Petition, on the 26th September 1872.
I, WILLIAM HOLLOWAY FELLOWS, of No. 3, Kenton Road, South
Hackney, in the County of Middlesex, Glass Blower, do hereby declare
the nature of the said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE
OF MOUTH PIECES FOR SMOKING PURPOSES," to be as follows :-
My Invention refers to the manufacture of mouth pieces for smoking
cigars, cigarettes, or pipes, and is made of glass or any other suitable
material. One of the ends of the tubing is lined or filled with carbon,
and near the extreme end of the other portion of the tubing is compressed
into a flat form in order to make an casy holding for the teeth.

page_text: The application of carbon in the tubing is for the purpose of absorbing
the narcotic juices issuing from the tobacco, and it is otherwise intended
to act as a purifier.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent
filed by the said William Holloway Fellows in the Great Seal
Patent Office on the 26th March 1873.
TO ALL TO WHƠM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, WILLIAM
HOLLOWAY FELLOWS, of 3, Kenton Road, South Hackney, in the County
of Middlesex, Glass Blower, send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her Letters
Patent, bearing date the Twenty-sixth day of September, in the year of
our Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy-two, in the thirty-
sixth year of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and
grant unto me, the said William Holloway Fellows, Her special licence
that I; the said William Holloway Fellows, my executors, administrators,
and assigns, or such others as I, the said William Holloway Fellows, my
executors, administrators, and assigns; should at any time agree with, and
no others, from time to time and at all times thereafter during the term
therein expressed, should and lawfully might make, use, exercise, and
vend, within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the
Channel Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN
THE MANUFACTURE OF MOUTH PIECES FOR SMOKING PURPOSES,” upon the con-
dition (amongst others) that I, the said William Holloway Fellows, my
executors or administrators, by an instrunient in writing under my,
or their, or one of their hands and seals, should particularly describe :
and ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner
the same was to be performed, and cause the same to be filed in the
Great Seal Patent Office within six calendar months next and imme-
diately after the date of the said Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said William Holloway Fellows, do hereby
declare the nature of my said 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 refers to the manufacture of mouth pieces for smoking
cigars, cigarettes, or pipes. The mouth piece is made of glass or any

page_text: other suitable material. One of the ends of the tubing is lined or filled
with carbon, and the other end or portion of the tubing is moulded into
a flat form in order to make an easy holding for the teeth.
When the mouth piece is required for cigars, pipes, or cigarettes made
after the form of a cigar, the tubing is made sufficiently large to take the
end of the cigar, pipe, or cigarette, which is compressed into the tubing
up to the carbon, or the mouth piece may be made up with the cigar or
cigarette, and when the cigarette is made after the ordinary form of
cigarette with an opening at one end the tubing is made a little smaller
to fit into such opening. In both arrangements the smoke is drawn
through the carbon into the mouth; and whatever nicotine or other
impure juices issuing from the tobacco or cigar is absorbed in the
carbon.
Having now described the nature of my said Invention and the
manner in which the same is or may be used or carried into effect, I
would observe in conclusion that what I consider to be novel and
original and therefore claim as the Invention secured to me by the
herein-before in part recited Letters Patent is, in the formation of the
mouth piece in glass or any other suitable material with the carbon, for
the purposes herein-before described:
לי
In witness whereof, I, the said William Holloway Fellows, have
hereunto set my hand and seal, this Twenty-fifth day of March,
in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy-
three.
WILLIAM HOLLOWAY FELLOWS. (L.S.)
