I, JAMES CLELAND, of Drumaness, Ballynahinch; in the County of Down,
Ireland, Mechanic, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention is designed to provide a tobacco pipe which will smoke clean and
dry which can be easily taken to pieces and cleaned and in which the tobacco can
be all consumed without becoming damp in the bottom of the bowl.
It consists essentially in constructing the pipe with an inclined tube passing
through the bowl at or near the bottom with an opening or perforations connecting
it with the bowl the lower end of the inclined tube being provided with a
receptacle for the condensed liquid to run into and the upper end being cranked or
formed with an elbow piece or the like to connect it. with the mouth piece.
In carrying out the invention I pass through the bowl of the pipe an inclined
tube of cranked or ✓ shape. The tube may be of metal vulcanite or other
material. The portion of the tube which is in the bowl is perforated to establish
communication between it and the bowl and above it in the bowl is preferably
placed a perforated plate or plug on which the tobacco lies to prevent the ashes
collecting around the perforations in the tube. The tube is inclined from the
bottom of the bowl upwards so that the cranked or bent part stands at or nearly
at right angles to the stem and mouth piece. This end of the tube is connected
with the mouth piece and the smoke passes through it. No hole or bore is
required in the stem and in the case of new pipes such is not made and in altering
old pipes it can be stopped up.
The other and lower end of the inclined tube is fitted
receptacle into which the liquid collecting in the tube flows.

I, JAMES CLELAND, of Drumaness, Ballynahinch, in the County of Down;
Ireland, Mechanic, 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 is designed to provide a tobacco pipe which will smoke clean and
dry, which can be easily taken to pieces and cleaned and in which the tobacco can
be all consumed without becoming damp in the bottom of the bowl.
It consists essentially in constructing the pipe with an inclined tube passing
through the bowl at or near the bottom with an opening or perforations connecting
it with the bowl the lower end of the inclined tube being provided with a

page_text: receptacle for the condensed liquid to run into and the upper end being preferably
cranked or formed with an elbow piece or the like to connect it with the mouth
piece.
It will be fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
three forms of pipes are shown to which the invention is applied.
Fig. 1. Side and sectional elevation of pipe with straight stem.
Fig. 2. Side and sectional elevation of pipe with curved stem and mouth piece.
Fig. 3. Side and sectional elevation of another pipe with curved stem and mouth-
picce showing a modified arrangement.
Fig. 4. Modified form of the upper end of the inclined tube.
1 construct the bowl A and shank B of the pipe of any ordinary shape but the
shank is not provided with any bore therethrough, or if bored the opening sealed.
Through the bowl A of the pipe I pass at or near the base an inclined tube C
which extends up towards the mouthpiece either outside or inside of the stem.
The tube C may be of metal, vulcanite or other material, and the portion of it
which is in the bottom of the bowl A is cut away or perforated to establish
-communication between it and the bowl.
The tube C passes through the bowl and the lower end projects beyond it and is
fitted with a cap or receptacle D into which the liquid condensing or collecting in
the inclined tube C flows which can be removed and emptied at pleasure.
In Figs. 1 and 2 the upper end of the inclined tube C is shown projecting
through the bowl and extending upwards in the direction of the mouthpiece at a
distance from it and at the upper end is cranked or bent downwards at an angle
thereto to join the stem or mouthpiece. The mouthpiece E is bored for part of
its length and communication is established with the bowl through the inclined
tube C. A cap a such as shown in dotted lines may be fitted at the bend in the
tube if desired for cleaning purposes.
In Fig. 3 the inclined tube C is fitted into the interior of the stem passing
through the bottom of the bowl and projecting therefrom below where it is
provided with a cap or receptacle D for any liquid that may drain down the tube.
In the interior of the bowl I place a perforated plate or plug F ou which the
tobacco lies to prevent it or the ashes coming in contact with or filling up the
perforations of the inclined tube C.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
-claim is :-
1. In a tobacco pipe the combination with the bowl of an inclined tube inserted
therein with apertures or perforations opening into the lower part thereof one end
projecting below it with a receptacle to hold or collect condensed moisture and the
other end entering or connecting with the bore of the stem or mouthpiece
substantially as described.
2. A tobacco pipe constructed with an inclined tube inserted in the bottom of
the bowl and projecting therefrom at both sides the lower end being fitted with a
receptacle to collect moisture draining down the tube and the upper end being
cranked to connect with the mouthpiece substantially as described.
3. In a tobacco pipe the combination of an inclined tube and perforated plate
inserted in the bowl substantially as described and shown in either of the figs. of
the drawings.
