PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tobacco Pipes and Cigar Holders.
I JOHN CHESHIRE of Queen Tavern Queens Road Aston Birmingham in the
County of Warwick Machinist do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
My invention has for its object improvements in tobacco pipes and cigar holders
and is for the purpose of preventing the nicotine or oil from accumulating in or
working its way through the stem or mouthpiece of the pipe or holder and to
also prevent the saliva getting into the bowl of a pipe which often occurs with the
present form and causes the tobacco to become saturated & which therefore must
be cleared out and so wasted my improvement also allows of the adjustments of
the draught. In carrying my invention into effect I take a pipe made according
to the ordinary tobacco pipe but having a hole bored in the bottom front of the
bowl in a line with the hole of the stem or mouthpiece through which I place a
small tube and in this I insert a piece of suitable metal with a bush termination
as will be understood thus practically blocks the draught up from the stem. Upon
the top of the stem a little way along I form a vertical hole & into this hole is
inserted a small T shaped tube in the top of which I mount a smaller removable
tube which has two or more holes some small & some large. This latter tube
terminates through a hole in the bowl of the pipe at one end & with a thumb piece
at the other.
The smoke instead of being drawn directly from the bottom of the bowl of the
pipe is drawn through this outside tube and passes down into the stem through
the vertical part of the T piece the amount of draught being regulated by turning
the tube round by the thumb piece so that when a small draught is required a
small hole in the tube would be brought over the tube leading into the stem or
mouthpiece & if a large draft was required the large hole would be brought round
over the down tube or the regulation of the draught may be effected by an ordinary
turn cock valve.
By the withdrawal of the brush from the tube at the bottom of the bowl the
cleaning of the tubes is always easy I also provide a cap or cover for the top of
the bowl ears formed upon said cap or cover being made to slide in groves or slots
formed in the side of the bowl.

Improvements in Tobacco Pipes and Cigar Holders.
I JOHN CHESHIRE of Queen Tavern Queens Road Aston Birmingham in the
County of Warwick Machinist 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 :--

page_text: prevent the saliva getting into the bowl of a pipe which often occurs with the
present form and causes the tobacco to become saturated & which therefore must
be cleared out and the tobacco wasted. My invention also allows of the adjustment,
of the draught.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practise I have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings upon which I have
fully illustrated the nature of my said improvements.
Figure 1 is a longitudinal section through one of my pipes.
Figure 2 is a view of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a cross section on the line 1-2.
Figure 4 is an elevation of the cap looking from one direction.
Figure 5 is a similar elevation to Figure 4 but looking in the reverse direction.
Figure 6 shews a modified form of stopper to the aperture a'.
In carrying my invention into effect I take a pipe A made somewhat according
to the ordinary tobacco pipe but having a hole bored in the bottom front of the
bowl with a bush termination and so arranged as to prevent any draught coming
direct from the bowl a² to the stem a³. Upon the top of the stem the vertical
hole a is provided & into this hole I insert the small T shaped tube E in the top
part of which I mount the removable tube F which has two or more holes f
some small & some large. This tube terminates through the hole a² in the bowl A
of the pipe & is provided with the thumb piece at the other end. The smoke
instead of being drawn directly from the bottom of the bowl of the pipe is drawn
through this outside tube F and passes down into the stein a³ through the vertical
part of the T piece E. The amount of draught is regulated by turning the
tube F round or slightly drawing it out by the thumb piece so that when a small
draught is required the small hole f2 in the tube would be brought over the outlet e¹
leading into the stem a³ and mouthpiece H and if a larger draught is required
the larger hole f¹ is brought over the down tube el or the regulation of the draught
may be effected by an ordinary turn cock valve. By the withdrawel of the
brush K by the rod k from the tube at the bottom of the pipe the cleaning of the
stem a³ is always easy. I also provide a cap or cover M for the top of the bowl
and having spring ears m³ and m² formed upon the underside of cap or cover M
which are made to slide in grooves or slots formed in the sides of the bowl A, or
the ears m² m² may be sprung into the bowl itself. In place of the plug K I may
have a spring stopper L Figure 6 to close the aperture a' which aperture may be
placed in any convenient position with regard to the stem a³. The application to
cigar holders is obvious as the receptacle for holding the cigar would inerely take
the place of the bowl A.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
1 claim is
1st. The improvements in tobacco pipes & cigar holders substantially as & for
the purpose herein set forth and shewn upon the accompanying drawings.
2nd. In tobacco pipes & cigar holders the valve connection E and F between
the bowl A and stem a substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.
3rd. In tobacco pipes & cigar holders the valve arrangement E and F in
combination with the cleaning plug K and substantially as & for the purpose
herein set forth.
4th. In tobacco pipes the cap or cove M having spring prongs m³ & m³, substantially
as herein set forth & shewn.
Dated this 10th day of July 1895.
