Improvements in Mouthpieces for Tobacco Pipes Cigar Holders and Cigarette Holders.

and Cigarette Holders.
I, CHARLES PETERSON of 55 Grafton Street Dublin Ireland Manufacturer do hereby,
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in mouthpieces for tobacco pipes, cigar
holders and cigarette holders, and the object of my invention is to obviate certain
well known defects appertaining to mouthpieces constructed as hitherto.
It is well known that with a mouthpiece constructed as hitherto the tongue of the
person smoking is necessarily held in an unnatural and cramped position in conse-
quence of the:
lip"
or end portion of said mouthpiece occupying the position where
the tip of the tongue normally rests, thereby not only presenting a certain amount
of discomfort to the person smoking but also considerably interfering with the free
movement of the tongue while speaking. Further in mouthpieces of the hitherto
usual construction the smoke and the nicotine impinge against the tongue thus
causing soreness, blistering and other mischief.
In carrying my invention into practice and in order to obviate the herein before
referred to defects, I form the underside of the "lip" of the mouthpiece with a groove
so that when said "lip" is in the mouth the end of the tongue may rest in its normal
position and will be under said "lip."
66
The bore in the lip
"
"of the mouthpiece extends in an upward direction, so that
the tongue not only rests in its natural position but is separated by the body of the
lip from the aperture from which the smoke issues, and cannot therefore become
Sore or blistered. "The lip " is also provided with the usual stops to prevent the
pipe falling from the smoker's teeth.

1, CHARLES PETERSON, of 55 Grafton Street, Dublin, Ireland, Manufacturer, 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 state-
ment:
My invention relates to improvements in mouthpieces for tobacco pipes, cigar
holders and cigarette holders and the object of my invention is to obviate certain
well-known defects appertaining to mouthpieces.

"
It is well known that with a mouthpiece as usually constructed as hitherto, the
tongue of the person smoking is necessarily held in an unnatural and cramped
position by reason of the lip or end portion of said mouthpiece occupying the
space where the point of the tongue normally rests, thereby not only presenting a
certain amount of discomfort to the person smoking, but also interfering consider-
ably with the natural movement of the tongue while speaking. Further, in mouth-
pieces of the hitherto usual construction the smoke impinges against the tongue
thereby often causing soreness and even blistering of the tongue.
These defects are obviated by my invention and in order that my said invention
may be readily understood reference is made to the accompanying drawing in which
Fig. 1 shows my improvements applied to a mouthpiece having a tapering or ex-
panding bore, and
Fig. 2 shows my improvements applied to a mouthpiece having a parallel bore.
and
Fig--3-shows-my-invention-applied-to-an-ordinary-meuthpiece
In carrying my invention into practice I form the underside of the "lip" a of
the mouthpiece with a groove or recess b so that when said "lip" is in the mouth,
the end of the tongue may rest in its normal position and will be under the lip a.
The borec in the " lip" of the mouthpiece preferably extends in an upward direction
at such an angle that in smoking, the smoke will be drawn out of the bore into the
space between the tongue and the roof of the mouth as shown in Figs. 1 & 2 so that
the smoke will readily pass over the tongue and will not impinge against the roof of
the mouth.
رو
Moreover the tongue not only rests in its natural position but is separated by the
body of the "lip from the aperture from which the smoke issues and cannot there-
fore becomes sore or blistered. The "lip " is provided with the usual stops or
equivaltes equivalents d to rest against the back of the teeth to prevent the pipe or
holder falling out.
I am aware that a mouthpiece having at its " lip" end an upwardly directed or
curved end extension which latter is formed with a concave portion on its underside,
an example of which is to be found in the Specification of Molyneux Patent No. 5818
of 1897, is not new. I do not claim such a mouthpiece.

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 (subject to the
above disclaiming note) what I claim is
1. A mouthpiece for tobacco pipes, cigar holders or cigarette holders having an
upwardly extending bore c, a lip à a groove or recess b on the underside of said lip
and stops d all for the purposes and substantially as set forth and illustrated.
