IMPROVEMENTS IN MOUNTS FOR TOBACCO PIPES
Year: 1875

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Joseph Brown, of Hull, in the County of York,
for the Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN MOUNTS FOR TOBACCO PIPES."
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Joseph Brown at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the
5th October 1875.
I, JOSEPH BROWN, of Hull, in the County of York, do hereby declare
the nature of the said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN MOUNTS FOR TOBACCO
PIPES," to be as follows:-
The improvements are applicable to all pipes or tubes used for
smoking tobacco, and are intended to prevent the oil caused from
smoking from coming into the mouth or accumulating in the mount or
mouth-piece.
The improvements consist in forming the mount or tubular part which
connects the mouth-piece with the tube proper of the pipe of two parts,
an upper and a lower, fashioning the lower of sufficient depth to form a
chamber or receptacle to be fitted at one end on the tube proper of the

page_text: pipe in any convenient manner, and at the other end to receive the
upper part, also forming the said upper part of sufficient depth to form a
chamber or receptacle to fit into and join the lower part, furnishing the
upper part at its upper end with a hollow spigot traversing the said
upper part, and projecting inwards into the lower part or chamber,
when the two parts or chambers are fixed together, the spigot being
fashioned with a screwed nozzle to receive and hold the mouth-picce; or
the spigot itself lengthened to form the mouth-piece, and projecting
sufficiently inwards to leave a space between its end orifice and the top
orifice of the pipe.
In some cases the spigot is made taper and to project inwards into
the orifice of the tube of the pipe, but in such manner that it does not
touch the sides, and leaves a clear space for the smoke to circulate.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent,
filed by the said Joseph Brown in the Great Seal Patent Office on
the 5th April 1876.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, JOSEPH
BROWN, of Hull, in the County of York, send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Letters Patent, bearing date the Fifth day of October, in the year
of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy-five, in the
thirty-ninth year of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and suc-
cessors, give and grant unto me, the said Joseph Brown, Her special
licence that I, the said Joseph Brown, my executors, administrators,
and assigns, or such others as I, the said Joseph Brown, 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 MOUNTS FOR TOBACCO PIPES," upon the condition (amongst others) that
I, the said Joseph Brown, my executors or administrators, by an
instrument in writing under my, or their, or one of their hands and

page_text: 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 immediately after the date of the said Letters
Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Joseph Brown, 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 :—
The improvements are applicable to all pipes or tubes used for
smoking tobacco, and are intended to prevent the oil caused by smoking
from coming into the mouth or accumulating in the mount or mouth-
piece.
The improvements consist in forming the mount or tubular part which
connects the mouth-piece with the tube proper of the pipe of two parts,
an upper and a lower, fashioning the lower of sufficient depth to form a
chamber or receptacle to be fitted at one end on the tube proper of the
pipe in any convenient manner, and at the other end to receive the
upper part, also forming the said upper part of sufficient depth to form a
chamber or receptacle to fit into and join the lower part, furnishing the
upper part at its upper end with a hollow spigot traversing the said
upper part, and projecting inwards into the lower part or chamber
when the two parts or chambers are fixed together, the spigot being
fashioned with a screwed nozzle to receive and hold the mouth-piece; or
the spigot itself lengthened to form the mouth-piece, and projecting
sufficiently inwards to leave a space between its end orifice and the top
orifice of the pipe.
In some cases the spigot is made taper and to project inwards into the
orifice of the tube of the pipe, but in such manner that it does not touch
the sides, and leaves a clear space for the smoke to circulate.
The various parts can be made of any convenient material.
The accompanying Drawing will serve to illustrate a convenient mode
of performing the Invention, Fig. 1 being an elevation of pipe with the
improved mount thereon; Fig. 2, elevation with mount open and
detached; Fig. 3, a section of pipe and mount fixed, showing the oil
receptacle formed by the spigot and chamber, as at d.

page_text: It is evident that the Invention forms a speedy and convenient method
of repairing pipes when the stem is broken; also that the improvements
can be performed in various ways without departing from the nature of
the Invention.
In witness whereof, I, the said Joseph Brown, have hereunto set
my hand and seal, this Fourth day of April, in the year of our
Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy-six.
