Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
We, JAMES BARKER, of 54, High Street, Dean Lane, Newton Heath, Manchester
in the County of Lancaster, Engineer, and HENRY MALLALIEU, of Oakdene, Broad
Road, Sale, in the County of Chester, Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in tobacco pipes and the object is to
form a tobacco pipe that no nicotine can enter the inouth of the smoker, the
saliva is prevented from running into the tobacco and the pipe will smoke dry,
cool and thus sweet.
To this end we form a pipe bowl having below the tobacco space a chamber
which may be in the form of a cap screwed on to the bowl.
The stem of the pipe we form with two channels one above the other, the upper
one communicating with the tobacco space and the lower one with the said
chamber which is adapted to receive asbestos fibres or other suitable absorbent
material.
The outer end of the stem we preferably bevel off and the end of the mouth
piece which screws or fits onto the stem, we form with a cavity which intercepts
the moisture and nicotine passing from the said upper channel and being caused to.
drop into the aforesaid cavity, no moisture or nicotine can enter the mouta piece.
From the said cavity the miosture or nicotine flows through the lower of the
said channels into the chamber below the tobacco space where it is absorbed by.
the fibres therein and which may be readily removed from time to time.
The channel in the mouth piece of the pipe is arranged between the said two
channels so that the saliva will also drop into the said cavity and run through the
said lower channel into the aforesaid chamber to be absorbed by the fibres therein.
If deemed necessary we may employ a small valve in the orifice of the said
Jower channel adapted to prevent any return of moisture, nicotine or saliva.
We, JAMES BARKER, late of 54, High Street, Dean Lane, now of 1, Hope
Terrace, St. Mary's Road, Newton Heath, Manchester, in the County of Lancaster.
Engineer, and HENRY MALLALIEU, of Oakdene, Broad Road, Sale in the County
5 of Chester, Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
[Price 8d.1

page_text: manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to improvements in tobacco pipes and the object is to
form a tobacco pipe that no nicotine can enter the mouth of the smoker, the
saliva is prevented from running into the tobacco and the pipe will smoke dry,
cool and thus sweet.
And in order that our invention may be more fully understood we have caused
to be appended hereunto one sheet of drawings marked with letters of reference
indicating like parts in the various figures which represent longitudinal sections
of various forms in which our invention may be carried out.
In carrying out our invention and referring to Fig. 1, we form a pipe bowl a
below the tobacco space with a chamber c which may be in the form of a cap d
screwed or otherwise fitted onto the bowl a into a recess e therein, as in the
present instance.
The stem f of the pipe we form with two channels g, h one above the other, the
upper one communicating with the tobacco space 6 and the lower one with
the said chamber c which is adapted to receive asbestos fibres or other suitable
absorbent material i.
The outer end of the stem f we preferably bevel off and the end of the mouth
piece which screws or fits onto the stem f, we form with a cavity which inter-
cepts the moisture and nicotine passing from the said upper channel g and being
caused to drop into the aforesaid cavity 1, no moisture or nicotine can enter the
mouth piece k.
From the cavity the moisture or nicotine flows through the lower channels h
into the chamber e below the tobacco space b where it is absorbed by the fibres i
therein and which may be readily taken out from time to time by removing the
said cap.
The passage m in the mouth piece of the pipe is arranged between the said
two channels 9, h so that the saliva will also drop into the cavity and run through
the lower channel into the chamber f to be absorbed by the fibres therein.
If deemed necessary we may employ a small valve n, see dotted lines, Fig. 1,
in the inner orifice of the lower channel adapted to prevent any return of
moisture, nicotine or saliva.
According to another form of our invention instead of forming the bottom of
the bowl straight we may round same off, as shown in Fig. 2, and give the said
nicotine chamber the form of a small cup d.
This cup is also filled with asbestos fibres or other suitable absorbent material i
and by preference screwed or otherwise fitted onto a bush o secured into the
recess p communicating with the lower channel h.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is :-
A. tobacco pipe having in its stem k two superposed channels g, h the outer
ends of which communicate with a cavity 7 formed between the same and the
smoke passage m in the mouth piece and the inner ends with the tobacco
space and a removable chamber c respectively, which latter is adapted to receive
the moisture or nicotine drawn from the tobacco and saliva from the mouth, all
substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
