PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
I LEONIDAS MEYNIER, of Saint Claude (Jura) France, Pipe Manufacturer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to tobacco pipes and has for its object to provide a trap for
intercepting the nicotine and effectually prevent it from passing into the mouth.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming part of this
Specification in which
Figure 1 represents a side view and Figure 2 a longitudinal section of a pipe with
the improvement applied.
Figure 3 shows a plan view of the nicotine trap detached.
The bowl a of the pipe communicates with the stem by means of two small
holes c for the passage of the smoke. d is the trap for the nicotine inserted within
the hollow stem 6 which is screwed at its end to a bone or other union piece e to
which is also screwed the mouth piece f. The nicotine trap is preferably formed of
a cylindrical wood plug d chambered out to receive a small piece of sponge 9 for
the purpose of absorbing the nicotine. The inner solid end of the plug d has a
cavity on its upper side for intercepting a portion of the nicotine and two small.
perforations ii for the passage of the smoke to the chamber. The union piece e to
which the mouth piece f and plug d are attached, fits by a sliding connection
within the end of the bore of the stem 6 so that the whole may be readily
withdrawn from the stem after which the plug d can be unscrewed for the purpose
of cleaning. The plug may be made of any suitable material and can be adapted
to all kinds of pipes.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
I, LEONIDAS MEYNIER, of Saint Claude (Jura) France, Pipe 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
statement:-
My invention relates to tobacco pipes and has for its object to provide an
improved trap for intercepting the nicotine and preventing it from passing into the
mouth of the smoker.
Reference is to be had to the drawings accompanying my Provisional.
Specification, in which
Figure 1 represents an external view, and Figure 2 a longitudinal section, of a
pipe with the improvement applied.
Figure 3 shews a plan view of the nicotine trap, detached.
The bowl a of the pipe communicates with the bore of the stem b by means of
two small holes c for the passage of the smoke. The trap d for intercepting the
nicotine is inserted within the bore of the stem b. It is screwed to a union piece or
plug e, of bone for example, to which is also screwed the mouth-piece f. The

page_text: nicotine trap d is made preferably of wood and cylindrical, and it is chambere out
to receive a small piece of sponge 9 for the purpose of absorbing the nic ine.
At the forward end, a cup his formed in its upper side for intercepting a ption
of the nicotine, two small perforations i, i, for the passage of the smoke, leading from
the cup into the chamber g. The union piece or plug e, to which the mouth-
piece and plug d are attached, fits friction-tight within the end of the bore c. the
stem 6 so that the nicotine trap may readily be withdrawn from the stem and then
unscrewed from the plug e for the purpose of being cleaned.
The nicotine trap may be made of any other suitable material, and can be
adapted to all kinds of pipes. Instead of the sponge g being contained in a chamber
within the interceptor d, as shewn, it might be inserted in a chamber in the end of
the mouth-piece which is fitted to the stem.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The improved nicotine intercepting trap for tobacco pipes, constructed, combined,
and arranged within the pipe stem, substantially as hereinbefore described and
illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
