Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
1, ARTHUR HUTCHINSON LAMB of The Vicarage Hope-under-Dinmore
Leominster Clerk in Holy Orders do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in tobacco pipes and has for its object.
means for readily removing the unsmoked, damp & foul tobacco left in the bottom
of the pipe after smoking as well as the ashes formed on the top of the same.
In carrying my invention into practice I provide within an ordinary pipe bowl a.
rectangular slide capable of moving up and down in grooves or guides formed in
the inner periphery of the bowl. The lower end of this slide has the form of a disc
which supports the tobacco charge and descends below the hole formed in the pipe
bowl for the purpose of drawing the tobacco smoke through the stem of the pipe
while the top of the said slide may be made to screw into the top of the outer bowl
or be provided with a flange dovetailed or rebatted to fit into corresponding
rebates forin in the said top. As it is pulled up this slide scrapes the inner walls.
of the bowl thus maintaining the same clean and conducing to its preservation.

Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
I, ARTHUR HUTCHINSON LAMB of The Vicarage Hope-under-Dinmore,
Leominster 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 relates to improvements in tobacco pipes and has for object in a
simple and effective manner to render the pipe cool and pleasant in smoking, and
at same time to prevent the waste of tobacco as in pipes of ordinary construction
occurs by absorption of moisture and saliva.
In accordance with this invention I have a plug of a peculiar construction which
may be formed of wood or other suitable material and which I insert in the bowl of
the pipe which latter I also form in a peculiar manner to adapt to the reception of
the plug before mentioned.
And in order that this my invention may be fully understood and readily carried into
effect I will now proceed to describe the same with particular reference to the
accompanying drawings and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.
Similar letters of reference refer to like parts in all the figures.
Fig. 1. is a sectional elevation of the pipe constructed in accordance with this my
invention and in which the plug of peculiar construction is shewn inserted.
Fig. 2. is a plan of the pipe bowl by which will be seen the peculiar construction
of the same to adapt to receive the plug.
Fig. 3. is a perspective view of the plug.
a is the pipe bowl formed with slots or grooves b (see particularly plan view
Fig. 2.) running perpendicularly from top to bottom, and in said slots or grooves

page_text: travel the arms c attached to the plug d. A top ring e carries the arms c of the
plug d and rests upon the top of the pipe bowl a.
To clean the pipe it is only necessary to draw the plug out of the pipe bowl, wipe
same and reinsert it.
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 1
claim is.
1st. In tobacco pipes the construction of the bowl with perpendicular slots or
grooves substantially as and for the purposes bereinbefore set forth and described.
2nd. In tobacco pipes the plug and framing constructed substantially as and for
the purposes hereinbefore set forth and described.
