IMPROVEMENTS IN APPARATUS FOR CLEANING TOBACCO PIPES AND CIGAR AND CIGARETTE HOLDERS
Year: 1884

page_text: I MICHEL MARTIN FUCHS, of Ivy House, N° 347 Edgware Road, in the county
of Middlesex, Merchant do hereby declare the nature of the said invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN APPARATUS FOR CLEANING TOBACCO PIPES AND CIGAR AND
CIGARETTE HOLDERS" to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the construction of an improved apparatus whereby
the accumulations which take place in the interior of tobacco pipes and cigar
and cigarette holders may be removed in a simple, expeditious and cleanly
manner.
In carrying out my invention I provide a receiver for containing water or other
liquid such as alcohol-this receiver is constructed so that it may be easily adapted
to a small spirit lamp of suitable construction for the purpose of heating the liquid
contained in the receiver; in the upper part of the receiver is an opening provided
with an elbow or a flexible tube, the said elbow or the said tube being adapted to
receive the mouthpiece of the pipe, or cigar or cigarette holder. A suitable device
may if required be adapted to the apparatus to hold the tobacco pipe or cigar or
cigarette holder to be cleaned.

.
To make use of the improved apparatus, the receiver is filled with water or
other liquid and fitted to the lamp; the lamp is lighted and the mouthpiece of the
tobacco pipe or cigar or cigarette holder is fitted into the open end of the elbow
or flexible tube on the receiver; as the liquid in the receiver becomes converted
into steam or vapour by the heat of the lamp, the said steam or vapour passes
through the interior of the tobacco pipe or cigar or cigarette holder and ejects
the accumulations therein into any suitable vessel placed to receive them under
the bowl of the tobacco pipe or the open ond of the cigar or cigarette holder.

In order to enable my invention to be fully understood I will proceed to
describe the same by reference to the accompanying drawing in which figure 1,
is an élevation and figure 2 a section of an apparatus for cleaning tobacco pipes
and cigar and cigarette holders constructed according to my improvements and
shewing a tobacco pipe applied thereto for the purpose of being cleaned. Similar
letters in both the figures represent similar parts.
.
a, is the receiver for containing water or other liquid such as alcohol and
constructed with a projection b, on its under side which fits into the socket c,
provided for that purpose in the spirit lamp'd, for heating the liquid contained in
the receiver the said lamp also forms the stand of the apparatus; e, is the
opening in the upper part of the receiver a, the said opening being provided with
a cap or cover f, over the projection g of which, is fitted the Hexible tube ; the
mouthpiece of the pipe i, (or cigar or cigarette holder) to be cleaned is placed in
the free end of the flexible tube h: (or the opening e, may be provided with an
elbow tube instead of the said cap and flexible tube): J, is a vessel for holding the
bowl of the pipe i, (or the open end of the cigar or cigarette holder) whilst it is
being cleaned, the said vessel' also serving as a measure for the liquid to be placed
'
in the receiver a

To make use of the improved apparatus the cap f, is removed from the receiver a,
and the receiver is filled with water or other liquid through the opening e, therein,
(by the vessel J, or otherwise) and fitted to the lamp d, by placing the projection 'b,
in the socket c, thereof; the lamp d, having been previously supplied with spirit
is then lighted and the mouthpiece of the tobacco pipe i, (or of the cigar or:
cigarette holder) is fitted into the open end of the flexible tube h, on the receiver
as shewn the bowl of the pipe (or open end of the cigar or cigarette holder) resting
in the vessel. As the liquid in the receiver a, becomes converted into steam or
vapour by the heat from the lamp d, the said steam or vapour will pass through
the interior of the tobacco pipe i, (or cigar or cigarette holder) and eject the
accumulations therein into the vessel j, and the pipe (or cigar or cigarette holder)
will be thereby cleaned.

page_text: 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 what
I claim is:
The improved apparatus for cleaning tobacco pipes and cigar and cigarette
holders as hereinbefore described and represented in the accompanying drawing.
