IMPROVEMENTS IN TOBACCO PIPES AND CIGAR-HOLDERS
Year: 1884

page_text: I, JAMES AIKMAN, of Glasgow, in the County of Lanark, Tobacconist, do
hereby declare the nature of my said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN TOBACCO
PIPES AND CIGAR-HOLDERS," to be as follows:-
The object of my Invention is to form tobacco pipes and cigar-holders so that
the nicotine or noxious juices may be prevented from entering the smoker's mouth,
and return of saliva from the mouth through the bore of the pipe to the bowl may
also be avoided.
The stem of the improved pipe or cigar-holder is made in two parts, which are
connected together by a mount also formed in two parts, the one part fixed to the
bowl part of the stem forming a socket for the other part, which is fitted on the
mouthpiece part of the stem. The socket part of the mount forms a hollow recess
or cavity in which the nicotine or similar juices are condensed, the direct outflow
of the smoke being through a small hole formed. in a sliding plate, or in a tube
within that part of the mount. The door passes out through a slot in the mount,
and is removed to shake out condensed juice and to obtain access to the bore of
the pipe for cleaning purposes. In the case of the tube being fixed in the socket
part, it is fitted in line with the bore of the pipe, and a movable plug or stopper is
fitted in the end of the tube, through which a brush may be inserted to clean out
the bore. The smoke passes into the condensing chamber by a lateral opening in
the tube.
The other part of the mount is hollow, and is closed at its extreme end, but is
formed with a large lateral opening for the passage into it of the smoke, this part
of the mount being inserted into the socket part to an extent at which the lateral
smoke passage is entirely within the socket. The bore of the mouthpiece stem
terminates in a nipple extending into the hollow part of the mount, about the
centre of the hollow cavity, and any saliva or moisture passing down the bore of
the mouthpiece drops from the nipple into the hollow cavity, and cannot return
again to the smoker's mouth. The liquid matter is shaken out through the smoke
passage, when separating the two parts of the mount to shake out the nicotine.

I, JAMES AIKMAN, of Glasgow, in the County of Lanark, Tobacconist, do
hereby declare the nature of my said Invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN TOBACCO
PIPES AND CIGAR-HOLDERS," to be as follows:-
The object of my Invention is to form tobacco pipes and cigar-holders so that
the nicotine or noxious juices may be prevented from entering the smoker's mouth,
and return of saliva from the mouth through the bore of the pipe to the bowl may
also be avoided.
In the accompanying Drawings, Figures 1, 2, and 3 represent in section different
modifications of tobacco pipes constructed in accordance with my Invention.
In each case the stem of the improved pipe (or of the cigar holder) is made in two
parts A, B, which are connected together by a mount C, C', also formed in two
parts, the one part C fixed to the bowl part A. of the stem forming a socket for the
other part C, which is fitted on the mouthpiece part B of the stem. The socket
part C of the mount forms a hollow recess or cavity in which the nicotine or
similar juices are condensed, the direct outflow of the smoke being through a small
hole de formed in a sliding plate or a partition D, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, or
in a tube D' as shown in Figure 1 within the socket part C of the mount.
partition or door D shown in Figure 2 passes out through a slot in the mount and
is removed to shake out condensed juice and to obtain access to the bore a of the
pipe for cleaning purposes. In the case of the tube D! being fixed in the socket
part C, it is fitted in line with the bore a of the pipe, and a movable plug or
stopper d' is fitted in the end of the tube, through which a brush may be inserted
to clean out the bore. The smoke passes into the condensing chamber by a lateral
opening d in the tube D¹.
The
The other part C₁ of the mount is hollow, and is closed at its extreme end, but is
formed with a large lateral opening c for the passage into it of the smoke, this part
of the mount being inserted into the socket part C to an extent at which the
lateral smoke passage c is entirely within the socket. The bore a¹ of the mouth
piece stem terminates in a nipple a² extending into the hollow part C¹ of the
mount, about the centre of the hollow cavity; and any saliva or moisture passing
down the bore of the mouthpiece drops from the nipple into the hollow cavity C¹
and cannot return again to the smokers mouth. The liquid matter is shaken out
through the smoke passage c when separating the two parts C, C¹, of the mount to
shake out the nicotine from the part C.
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 I make
no claim to any of the parts separately which are well known and in common use,
but what I claim is,―
First. The combination in a tobacco pipe or cigar-holder of the mount formed
in two parts, the one fitted with a partition or tube and stopper, the movable part
of which gives admission to the bore of the stem for cleaning, and the other formed
with an open cavity to receive saliva passing from the smoker's mouth, a nipple
being formed in the cavity to prevent the return therefrom of the saliva; all
arranged to act substantially as described and illustrated.
Second. In a tobacco pipe or cigar holder the combination with the mount (C)
of a perforated and movable partition or stopper (D, D',) preventing the flow of
saliva or juice from the mount to the bowl, and giving admission for cleaning out
the bore, substantially as described and illustrate 1.

page_text: Third. In a tobacco pipe or cigar holder the hollow cavity C¹ in the mount
formed with an opening c for the inlet of the smoke and ejectment of the collecting
saliva, and with a nipple projecting within the cavity and adapted to prevent
return of saliva to the smoker's mouth, substantially as described and illustrated.
Fourth. I claim the improved general arrangement and combination of parts
forming the improved tobacco pipes and cigar holders, substantially such as
herein before described and represented on the Drawings annexed.
