I, EDWARD LINDSAY WARD, of Kensington Square, in the County of
Middlesex, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for
"A NEW OR IMPROVED PIPE FOR SMOKING TOBACCO," to be as follows :—
The objects of this Invention are to so construct pipes that they are
not so liable to get foul, and can be easily cleaned, it being impossible
for the oil to come into the mouth. They are also rendered portable.
The principal of the Invention is to cause the smoke after it leaves the
stem of the pipe to enter and circulate in an intermediate chamber or
receptacle, where it will cool and deposit the oil before being drawn into

TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, EDWARD 2
LINDSAY WARD, of Kensington Square, in the County of Middlesex,
send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her Letters
Patent, bearing date the Twenty-fifth day of November, in the year of
our Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy-two, in the thirty- 3
sixth year of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give
and grant unto me, the said Edward Lindsay Ward, Her special license
that I, the said Edward Lindsay Ward, my executors, administrators,
and assigns, or such others as I, the said Edward Lindsay Ward; my .

executors, administrators, and assigns, should at any time agree with,
and no others from time to time and at all times thereafter during the
term therein expressed, should and lawfully might make, use, exercise,
and-vend, within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the
Channel Islands, and Isle of of Man, an Invention for "A NEW OR
IMPROVED PIPE FOR SMOKING TOBACCO," upon the condition (amongst others)
that I, the said Edward Lindsay Ward; executors or administrators,
by an instrument in writing under my, or their, or one of their hands
and seals, should particularly describe and ascertain the nature of the
said Invention, and in what manner the same was to be performed, and
cause the same to be filed in the Great Seal Patent Office within six
calendar months next and immediately after the date of the said Letters
Patent.
"
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Edward Lindsay Ward, do hereby
declare the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement thereof, that is to say:-
This Invention relates to the construction of a novel form of tobacco
pipe.
A few of the principal disadvantages now experienced in the use of
the ordinary pipe may be enumerated as follows:-First, the unpleasant
heat of the smoke in the mouth; secondly, the readiness of the pipe to
foul, and the inconvenience of cleaning it; thirdly, its liability to get
broken or out of order; and, lastly, the absence of any contrivance that
will enable the smoker to inhale the smoke cool, without being mixed
with nicotine,.so pernicious to health.
The present Invention is designed for the purpose of overcoming the
above-named objections, and the novelty of such Invention consists in
the peculiar combination of a case for a pipe and stem holder which will
be utilized as a chamber in which the smoke drawn into the same from
the bowl will circulate, become cool, and condense before passing into
the mouth.
The construction' and manner of using the pipe may be thus described:
For example, the case or body of the pipe may be made of wood, ivory
(either real or vegetable), metal, coquélle nut, papier maché, vulcanite,
pipe clay, or other suitable material, and of any form convenient for the
pocket, and according as faney may direct. I prefer a case partaking of

page_text: half of the egg, and the other half closed upon it, as in Fig. 2, at
which time it assumes a most portable shape, and is not easily broken or
injured.
The different parts composing the pipe may, if desired, be put together
by means of screws, but as such connections would be difficult to clean
it is preferable to have all the parts smooth, and merely kept together by
being closely fitted or jammed.
Ornamental silver mountings can be employed, as taste may direct,
their use being more particularly for the purpose of covering the holes of
the case when the bowl and mouth piece are placed inside.
To ensure a perfectly clean and pure smoke on every occasion the case
should always be cleaned after use and before packing.
The egg may be flattened at the bottom, or may be provided with
other means whereby it can rest or stand in an upright position.
Having now described the nature of my said Invention, together
with the method of carrying the same into practical effect, I wish it to
be distinctly understood in conclusion that I do not wish to confine
myself to the exact configuration of the parts shewn, as the same may
be modified if required; but what I claim as my Invention is, the com-
bination of a case and pipe to be used in the manner and for the purpose
as herein-before substantially described, set forth, and fully illustrated in
the Drawings annexed.
In witness whereof, I, the said Edward Lindsay Ward, have here-
unto set my hand and seal, this Twentieth day of May, in the
year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy-three.
