PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Pipes for Smoking Tobacco, and which Improve-
ments are applicable also to Cigar and Cigarette Holders or
Mouth Pieces.
I, JAMES WOOD of 6 Berkeley Place, Camden Road, Bath, Agent do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows, that is to say :-
The object of my invention is to check the oily constituent (nicotine) of
the smoke of the tobacco from ascending to the mouth of the smoker and also
to afford a ready and effectual way of removing the moisture that is found to
accumulate in the draught bore or passage of pipes, cigar and cigarette holders
or mouth pieces from the smoking of tobacco and I attain that object by inserting
within the stem of the pipe mouth piece cigar or cigarette holder, through which
the smoke is drawn into the month of the smoker from the bowl of the pipe; or
otherwise a certain partly close fitted but moveable pin or core like contrivance
or appliance of a round or other form of required length and other dimensions,
made of wood, bone, ivory vulcanite or other suitable material or combination of
materials and on which said contrivance or appliance from end to end thereof I
make one or more groove or grooves of a spiral, serpentine, straight or other groove
like shape, so that the smoke can be drawn or draughted in to the mouth of the
smoker by way of or through the said spiral or other shaped groove or grooves
thereby checking the ascendancy of the said moisture. To clean or remove when
necessary any unpleasant moisture is easily accomplished by withdrawing the said
contrivance or appliance from its position in the said bore or passage and wiping
same.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Pipes for Smoking Tobacco, and which Improve-
ments are applicable also to Cigar and Cigarette Holders or
Mouth Pieces.
I, JAMES WOOD of No. 6 Berkeley Place, Camden Road, Bath in the County
of Somerset, 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, that is to say:-
The object of my invention is to check the ascendancy in to the mouth
of the smoker the oily constituent (nicotine) or other unpleasant moisture
which is found to accumulate in pipes, cigar and cigarette holders or mouth pieces
from the smoking of tobacco and to provide a more ready method of the removal
of such moisture and I attain that object by placing of required length and other
dimensions in the stem of a pipe cigar or cigarette holder or mouth piece, as the
case may be, a certain partly close fitted but moveable pin or core like contrivance
or appliance, and hereinafter called the "pin" of a round or other form made of
wood, bone, ivory, vulcanite or other suitable material or combination of materials
and on or about which said pin from end to end thereof I make one or more groove
or grooves of a spiral, serpentine, straight or other groove like formation so that
the smoke from the ignited tobacco may be drawn in to the mouth of the smoker
by way of or through the spaces or channels made on the said pin by the said
groove or grooves.

page_text: In the drawings hereunto annexed
Fig. 1 represents a longitudinal section of the stem of a pipe shewing the said
pin in its position.
Fig. 2 is an elevation of the said pin shewing the spiral groove at the ends of the
said pin only connected by a groove or grooves longitudinally.
Fig. 3 shews a complete spiral broken at the ends only by the groove or grooves.
Fig. 4 and 4 are longitudinal sections of a cigar or cigarette holder respectively
shewing the said pin in its position.
Fig. 5 represents the mouth piece of a pipe shewing part said pin therein and as
withdrawable for cleaning.
The same reference letters indicate similar parts in each figure, a. a represents
the wood portion of the stem of a pipe the bowl and c. c the mouth piece
d. d is the said pin of varied form.
The mouth piece of a pipe to which my invention is applicable may be attached
to the stem by screwing or by sliding in or sliding over the stem.
To clean off or remove any unpleasant moisture which may accumulate in the
said stem or mouth piece or on or about the said pin, the mouth piece is to be
detached and the said pin withdrawn and cleaned in any convenient manner, or
much of the moisture can be removed by occasionally blowing through the mouth
end of the mouth piece, particularly after finish of a smoke.
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,
In the stem of a pipe, cigar or cigarette holder or mouth piece used for smoking
tobacco, the placing therein of the aforesaid constructed grooved like pin, made
of wood, bone, ivory, or other suitable material, substantially in the manner as
hereinbefore described and illustrated.
