PROVISIONAL SI IFICATION.
Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
I, JAMES KEVIS, of 263, Portobello Road, London, W., Tobacconist, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My Invention relates to an improved trap or interceptor by which the moisture
which condenses or collects in the stom of a tobacco-pipe is provented both
from being drawn into the mouth of the sinoker, and from running back to the bowl
and being absorbed by the tobacco therein, and to means for enabling the trap or
interceptor to be readily cloaned.
The pipe stem is formed with a chamber or cylinder enlargement of the bore and
the mouth piece is provided with an extension which is received in the chamber, said
extension consisting of a longitudinal central stem with two discs near either end
which fit accurately within the chamber. The disc at the end of the stem fits closo
against the end of the chamber in the pipe stem and this part of the stem of the
mouth piece is tubular and in alignment with the bore of the pipe and it is perforated
for the passage of the smoke into that part of the chamber comprised between the
two discs. The other disc is situated a short distanco from the mouth picco and
divides the chamber into two compartments the one nearest the bowl constituting
a receptacle for nicotine and the other a receptacle for the saliva, these receptacles
communicating by an orifice in the upper edge of the latter disc. The bore of the
mouth piece is out of the centre at the inner end and communicates with the upper
part of the saliva chamber. The discs serve as scrapers to remove deposit on the sides
of the chamber.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
1. JAMES KEVIS, of 263 Portobello Road, London, W., "Tobacconist," do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to bo
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
My Invention relates to an improved trap or interceptor by which the moisture
which condenses or collects in the stem of a tobacco-pipe is prevented both from
being drawn into the mouth of the smoker, and from running back to the bowl and
being absorbed by the tobacco therein and to means for enabling the trap or interceptor
to bo readily cleaned.
The pipe stem is formed with a chamber or cylinder enlargement of the bore and
the mouth piece is provided with an extension which is received in the chamber, the
said extension consisting of a longitudinal central stem with two or more discs near
either end which fit accurately within the chamber. The disc at the end of the stem
fits close against the end of the chamber in the pipe stem and this part of the stem of
the mouth piece is tubular and in alignment with the bore of the pipe and it is
perforated for the passage of the smoke into that part of the chamber comprised
between the two or more discs. One of the discs is situated a short distance from the
mouth piece and divides the chamber into two or more compartments, the one or
more compartments nearest the bowl constituting a receptacle for nicotine and one
[Price 6dl

page_text: receptacle near the mouth piece for the saliva, theso receptacles communicating by an
orifice in the upper edge of one or more discs.
The bore of the mouth piece is out of the centre at the inner end and communicates
with the upper part of the saliva chamber.
The discs serve as sorapors to remove deposit on the sides of the chamber.
And in order that my Invontion may be thoroughly understood I now proceed to
describe the accompanying drawings thereof, reference being had to lotters and figures
marked thereon.
Figure represents a longitudinal section of the pipe steun A, and mouthpiece B
inserted in the chamber C.
The mouth piece end F fitting tightly in the end of the chamber C. The discs D
on the perforated extension which is received in the chamber C to serve as scrapers
to remove deposit on the sides of the chamber ('.
The receptacle I for nicotine being the nearest compartment to the bowl and tho
receptacle for the saliva at the mouth piace end of the chamber.
The arrows indicate the mode in which the smoke travels from the bowl into the
mouth pieco.
Figure 2 is a transverse section on line a, b, of figure 1 describing the perforation D)¹
in the dises.
Figure 3, denotes a transverse section on line c, d, of figure 1 with the end of the
mouth piece F inserted in the chamber and the boro G of the mouth piece.
Figure 4, represents a longitudinal section of the pipe stem A, and the chamber or
cylinder with the mouth piece and attachments withdrawn from the pipe stem.
Figure 5, is an elevation of the month piece B and the perforated tubular stem E
and the discs D and other attachments when withdrawn from the chamber ('.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the samo is to bo performed, I declare that what
1 clnim is-
First: The combination of the tobacco pipe stom with a chamber or cylinder in
the bore and the mouth piece with the longitudinal perforated central stem and the
discs, which 6t accurately within tho chamber, to prevent nicotine or saliva passing
into the smokors mouth substantially as herein described and according to the
accompanying drawings.
Secondly: The combination of the discs on the mouth pieco to serve as scrapers
to remove deposit on the sides of the chamber, substantially as herein described and
according to the accompanying drawings.
:
Thirdly The combination of the trap or interceptor by which the moisture which
condenses or collects in the stem of a tobacco pipe is prevented from being drawn
into the mouth of the smoker, and from running back to the bowl and being absorbed
by the tobacco therein, and to enable the trap or interceptor to be readily cleaned
substantially as heroin described.
Fourthly I claim that in whatever position the pipo may be placod whon not in
use, it is impossible for the nicotine or saliva to pass into the bore of tho mouth piece
substantially as heroin described.
