PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Tobacco Pipe.
ALFRED JOHN HAUGHTON 17 Brunswick Street Liverpool Corn Broker do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A tobacco pipe with a double stem, one above the other; the bores of which are
connected by a slot, cut from where the bore in the upper stem enters the bowl, to
the mouthpiece & forming a complete connection between the two bores thus far.
The object of the second stem is to collect all the nicotine & saliva, which runs
freely through the slot between the two stems; & leaves a free passage for the
smoke through the upper stein, thus entirely doing away with all gurgling & at
the same time effectually intercepting all nicotine from the bowl to the mouth-
piece. The lower stem has a large bore & projects from under the mouthpiece at
one end to under & beyond the bowl at the other end & is fitted with removable
plugs at either end to facilitate cleaning & the plug next the bowl is also used to
draw off the moisture collected.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Tobacco Pipe.
I, ALFRED JOHN HAUGHTON, of 17, Brunswick Street, Liverpool, Corn
Merchant, 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 :-
A tobacco smoking pipe provided with the improvement under this invention
is constructed with a double bore in the stem, or with two stems, one above the
other, having a hole bored in each. The double bores are connected by a slot
cut from the point where the upper bore joins the bowl of the pipe to the point
where the said bore joins the mouthpiece, the two bores being thereby in com-
munication with each other.
The bore in the lower portion passes right through the stem from end to end,
the stem being formed to project for this purpose, and at each end there is pro-
vided a removable plug which when removed enables the bore to be cleaned.
In the annexed sheet of drawings, I have illustrated examples of tobacco
pipes provided with the improvements according to my invention. The said
drawings make a part of this Specification and are marked with letters and figures
of reference corresponding to those used in the following description and the
same letters of reference are used to denote corresponding parts throughout the
drawings.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figure 1 shews, in sectional elevation, a bent stem pipe provided with the
improvements according to my invention.
Figure 2 shews my improvements applied to a pipe having a straight stem.
Figure 3 is a cross section of the stem.
-
Figure 4 shews a cross section of the double stem arrangement under my
invention.
With reference to the drawings, (Figures 1, 2 and 3) a designates the bowl of

the pipe, the double stem; and the mouthpiece. In this example, the double
stem 6 is made in one piece, and deep enough to provide for a double bore, namely,
the usual bored from the bowl a, to the mouthpiece c, and a bore e right through
the lower part of the stem b, which is made deep and to project for this purpose.
The bores d and e are connected by a slot h. At the mouthpiece end the stem is
provided with a plug k which fits and stops this end of the bore e, and at the bowl
end, the stem is also provided with a plug i which fits and stops such end.
Instead of making the double stem in one piece as shewn in Figure 3, it
made in two parts, as shewn in Figure 4, such parts being joined together by
suitable cement.
may
be
The object of the bore e is to form a chamber to collect the moisture and thus
to leave a free passage for the smoke through the usual bore d, the moisture
draining from the bore d through the long connecting slot into the bore or
chamber e, thus preventing the gurgling sound that takes place when the smoke
has not a free passage.
To remove the moisture from the bore or chamber e the plug i is withdrawn,
the bowl is covered up, and the mouthpiece c blown through until all the moisture
is expelled.
The plug is used when cleaning the pipe, namely, when both plugs i and k are
removed a feather or piece of string may be drawn through the bore e and will
remove all accumulated moisture. Owing to all moisture lodging in the lower
the upper bore rarely requires cleaning.
bore
e,
It will be obvious that the improvements above set forth may be applied to any
shaped pipe having straight or bent stems.
Having now particularly 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. A tobacco pipe having a longitudinal chamber below the bore proper of the
pipe, and communicating with said bore along same; substantially as and for the
purposes set forth.
2. The tobacco pipe comprising the chamber e with plugs therein and in com-
bination with the bore d; as set forth and shewn in the figures of the drawings.
