I. ALFRED JAMES Box, of 2 Queen Square in the city and county of Bristol,
carpenter, 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
The improved tobacco-pipe in which this invention consists is composed of three
cups or bowls having con:munication one with another. The innermost cup or bowl‍¯¯¯
receives the tobacco, the next the nicotine drawn therefrom, and the third receives the
saliva which descends the stem from the mouth of the smoker.
The positions of the orifices and passages with which the cups or bowls communicate
with one another are specially arranged, and, by use of three bowls thus com-
municating, nicotine extracted from tobacco being smoked is prevented from being
drawn into the smoker's mouth, and saliva is prevented from entering the bowl which
contains the tobacco, and there is no residue of damp tobacco after smoking.
Fig. 1 on the accompanying drawing represents a longitudinal section of a pipe
constructed in accordance with this invention.
The innermost bowl a which receives the tobacco communicates with the second
bowle by the passage situated towards the front and inclined from the bottom of
the bowl a upwards through the side as shewn. By this passage nicotine extracted
from the tobacco in process of smoking is sucked into the bowl c where it lodges.
The smoke drawn through the same channel passes out by the orifices e by which the
bowl e communicates with the outer bowl d. The orifices e in the bowl care preferably
so situated that when the bowls are secured together in proper position for using the
pipe, neither of the said orifices coincides either with the channel & or the channel h
of the stem of the pipe.
They are preferably at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the pipe, as shewn at
Fig. 2 which represents a horizontal section of the bowl e on the linea Fig. 1.
Saliva from the smokers' mouth is received in the outer bowl d and is thus prevented
from obtaining access to the innermost bowl a.
The bowls are readily separated and cleansed as required.

page_text: Having now particurly described and ascertained the nature of this 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 use of three cups or bowls screwed or otherwise con-
centrically connected together and communicating with each other and the stem by
orifices so designed and situated that when the said howls are connected in proper
position for using the pipe an orifice in one does not coincide or is not directly
opposite an orifice in another or the orifice in the stem, substantially as hereinbefore
described.
2. In a tobacco pipe, the use of a bowl such as a for containing tobacco, a second
bowl such as c secured about the first and comunicating therewith by a passage such
as b inclined upwards and outwards from the bottom of the inner bowl and, by orifices
such as e, with an outer bowl such as d with which the stem communicates, sub-
stantially as hereinbefore described with reference to the accompanying sheet of
drawings, and for the purposes specified.
