PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Smoking or Tobacco Pipes.
I FREDERICK JEWELL of 11, Dennett's Grove, Dennett's Road, Peckham in the
County of Surrey, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to bo
as follows:-
:-
The object of my invention is to secure to the smoker all the advantages of a clay
pipe combined with the moro sightly appearance of a wooden one.
For this purpose I employ a wood pipe provided preferably with a divided bowl tho
two parts being connected together by means of a screw or tapered joint and at some
suitable point within this wood bowl I arrange a ring of asbestos or other suitable
packing.
Within the wood bowl I. place a clay bowl formed with a orifice or orifices at its
lower part and if necessary I may cause such clay bowl to rest upon an asbetos or
other seating or upon a seating formed upon the wood bowl.
I preferably form the wood bowl in two parts in order to facilitate placing in position
and removing the clay bowl and I may sometimes cause the act of screwing
together or joining the two parts of the wood bowl to compress the packing around
the clay bowl.
If preferred however the wood bowl may be formed in one piece and the clay bowl
may be simply pressed therein with a'suitable ring of packing between it and the wood
bowl at some convenient point.
Within the wood pipe stem I introduce a clay stem coned or otherwise formed at
one end to enter into a corresponding seat in-or abut against the wood or clay bowl
or pass into the wood bowl beneath the clay one.
The other end of this clay stem may be correspondingly coned or shaped 'to abut
against or fit a similarly shaped mouthpiece screwing or fitting into or onto the wood
stem or it may be tapered to fit into a split or other mouthpiece so that it is firmly
held thereby and such mouthpiece may be formed to screw or fit upon or into
the wood stem.
By these means I secure to the smoker all the advantages of a clay pipe com-
bined with the more sightly appearance of a wooden 'one and he is enabled readily
to change the clay bowl or stem for a new one at pleasure.

COMPLETE 'SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Smoking or Tobacco Pipes.
I FREDERIOK JEWELL of 11. Dennett's Grove Dennett's Road Peckham. in the
County of Surrey Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement :-
The object of my invention is to secure to the smoker all the advantages of a clay
pipe combined with the more sightly appearance of a wooden one.
For this purpose I employ a wood pipe provided preferably with a divided bowl
the two parts being connected together by my means of a screw or tapered joint and
at some suitable point within this wood bowl I arrange a ring of 'asbetos or other
suitable packing.

page_text: Within this wood bowl I place a clay bowl formed with an orifice or orifices at its
lower part and if necessary I may cause such clay bowl to rest upon an asbestos or
other seating or upon a seating formed upon the bowl.
I form the wood bowl in two parts in order to facilitate placing in position and
removing the clay bowl and I may sometimes cause the act of screwing together or
joining the two parts of the wood bowl to compress the packing around the clay
bowl.
Within the wood pipe stem I introduce a clay stem coned or otherwise formed at
one end to enter into a corresponding seat in or abut against the wood or clay bowl
or pass into the wood bowl beneath the clay one.
The other end of this clay stem may be correspondingly coned or shaped to abut
against or fit a similarly shaped mouth-piece screwing or fitting into or onto the wood
stem or it may be tapered to fit into a split or other mouth-piece so that it is firmly
held thereby and such mouth-piece may be formed to screw or fit upon or into the
wood stem.
. . And in order that the said Invention may be more clearly understood and readily
carried into effect I will proceed aided by the accompanying drawings more fully to
describe the same.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figure 1. is a longitudinal vertical section of a pipe constructed according to my
invention.
Figure 2 is a similar view illustrating a modification in the arrangement of the
packing ring and co-acting parts.
Figures
separately.
and 4 are respectively a vertical section and plan of the clay bowl
Figuro 5 is a vertical longitudinal section illustrating a modified form of pipe in
which one end of the clay stem abuts against the clay bowl.
Figure 6 is a similar view representing a slight modification in which one end of
the clay stem abuts against the wood bowl.
Figure 7 is a plan showing a modified form of mouth piece with the clay stem
attached thereto and
Figure 8 is a vertical longitudinal section, representing a further modification in
which the clay bowl rests upon an asbestos or other seat in the lower part of the
wood bowl.
In the several figures like parts are indicated by similar letters of reference.
a a' represent the wood bowl b represents the clay bowl c represents the clay stem
and d represents the mouth-piece.
Referring to figure 1 the bowl of the pipe is divided into two parts a a¹ connected
together by means of a screw joint a² and at any convenient point within the wood
bowl is formed an annular groove a³ within which is placed a split ring of asbestos or
other suitable packing a*.
Within the wood bowl a a' is placed a clay bowl 6 formed with the usual orifice or
orifices at its lower part and the joint between the wood bowl a a' and the clay
bowl b is made tight by means of the ring of packing a.
The formation of the wood bowl in two parts a a' facilitates placing in position and
removing the clay bowl b and by a slight modification of the parts the act of screwing
together the two parts a a¹ of the wood bowl may be caused to compress the packing
ring at around the clay bowl b.
A device of this character is represented at Figure 2 wherein the outer wall of the
groove a³ to receive the packing ring a' is formed hevelled or inclined and the packing
ring a rests upon the lower part or division a of the bowl a a' by which means as the
upper part a¹ of the bowl is screwed down the packing ring a² will be compressed
around the clay bowl b.
+
Within the stem a' of the wood pipe is introduced a clay stem c which according to
the arrangements represented at Figures 1 and 2 at one end is tapered to fit into a

page_text: corresponding seat in the mouth-piece d and at the other end in one example is
tapered to fit a corresponding seat a in the wood bowl and in the other example
passes into the wood bowl a a¹ beneath the clay bowl b and thus forms an efficient trap
for the nicotine.
The mouth-piece d in these two examples is connected with the wood stem a' by
means of the well known tapered-joint.
In the modification represented at Figure 5 the clay bowl b at its lower part rests
upon a seat a formed in the lower part of the wood bowl a a¹ and the clay bowl bis
formed with an opening or seat at one side thereof into which enters and against
which abuts the tapered end of the clay stem c.
The opposite end of the clay stein c is tapered to fit into a corresponding seat din
the mouth-piece d which in this case has fixed thereon a metal band or socket d'
capable of fitting or sliding upon the wood stem a³.
In the foregoing examples the two parts a al of the wood bowl are shown to be
connected together by a screw joint a but in the modification reprosented at Figure 6
a tapered joint a² is employed in lieu thereof and in this case the clay bowl b also fits
upon a seat a* within the wood bowl a a¹.
The clay stem c at one end thereof is shaped to fit a conical seat a formed at the
lower part of the wood bowl a a' and the opposite end is similarly shaped to fit a
corresponding seat in the mouth-piece d whose band or socket is provided with
an internal screw thread so that it may be screwed upon the wood stem a³ thus
enabling the necessary adjustment in relation to the clay stem c to be readily
obtained.
A slightly modified method of connecting the clay stem c with the mouth-piece d
is represented at Figure 7 in which the mouth-piece d is formed tapered to fit into
the wood stem a' and the clay stem c is tapered to fit into a corresponding seat d² in
the mouth-piece d as represented at Figures 1 and 2 but in this case 'the end of
the mouth-piece is formed with a split to enable the clay stem o to be readily
fitted therein.
In the example given at Figure 8 the wood bowl a a¹ is formed in two parts con-
nected together by a screw joint a² and in addition to a ring of packing a being
interposed between the wood bowl a al and clay bowl 6 in order to make a tight joint
a ring of asbestos or other suitable material is arranged at the lower part of the wood
bowl a al in order to form a seat a* for the clay bowl b.
L
The clay stem c in this case at one end is tapered to fit a corresponding seat a
formed at the lower part of the wood bowl a a¹ whilst at the other end it is tapered to
fit a corresponding seat d'in the mouth-piece d in a manner similar to that represented
at Figure 1.
In all the examples hereinbefore given a space or well a' is formed at the lower
part of the wood bowl a a' in order to receive any nicotine or other moisture draining
from the clay bowl b and the burning tobacco is thereby kept dry and sweet.
Since filing my provisional specification I have discovered that the arrangement of
parts therein described according to which it was proposed to construct the bowl of
the wood pipe in one piece does not possess such an amount of utility as to render it
worth while to retain any claim thereto and I therefore desire to disclaim and I do
hereby disclaim such arrangement.
By these means I obtain all the advantages of a clay pipe combined with the more
sightly appearance of a wooden one and I am enabled readily to change the clay bowl
or stem for a new one at pleasure whilst at the same time the tobacco smokes cool
and dry to the last.
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 I
claim is :-
1. The improvements in tobacco pipes substantially as herein shown and described.
2. In a wooden tobacco pipe a wood bowl adapted to receive a clay bowl b fitting

page_text: stem c traversing the wood stem a³ and fitting into the-mouth-piece d'and the 'mouth-
piece d adapted to receive such stem all'in manner substantially as herein shown and
.described.
3. In a wooden tobacco pipe a wood bowl formed in two parts a a¹ screwing
together; an annular groove a in the part a' the outer wall of such groove 'being
formed bevelled or inclined; a ring of packing a fitting the groove a aclay bowl³b
fitting the wood bowl a a', a clay stem e traversing the wood stem a³ and fitting into
the mouth-piece d and the mouth-piece d adapted to receive such clay stem call in
manner substantially as herein shown and described. .
4. In a wooden tobacco pipe a wood bowl a a' adapted to receive a clay bowl band
formed with an annular groove a³ to contain a ring of asbestos or other suitable
packing a and with a seat a* at the lower part of the bowl a a¹, a clay bowl b fitting
such wood bowl a a¹ and resting upon such seat a*, a clay stem c traversing the wood
stem a and fitting a mouth-piece d and a mouth-piece d adapted to receive the clay
stem call in manner substantially as herein shown and described.
