Improvements in and relating to Tobacco Pipes and Cigar and
Cigarette Holders.
1, JOHN ROWAN, of 18 Mollingsburn Street, Springburn in the City and County
Glasgow, Brassfinisher, do hereby declare the nature of my invention to be as
follows:-
This invention has reference to improvements in and relating to tobacco pipes,
and cigar and cigarette holders.
The improvements consist, first, in forming slots, ducts or openings in the
mouthpiece or stem of the pipe or holder so that the atmospheric air shall enter
and combine with the smoke before it passes to the mouth of the smoker and so give
a cool and exhilarating effect.
These opening would be formed at an angle so that the induction of the air shall
take place in the direction the smoke is travelling.
A chamber or reservoir would be formed in the stem between the inner end of
the mouthpiece and the pipe bowl or smoking end of holder, in which the saliva
from the mouth, and nicotine from the tobacco would be trapped and collected.
And a removable cap or ferrule would be fitted or screwed on to a projecting stud
formed on under side of stem, into which the collected liquid from reservoir would
pass through an angled orifice, and the cap be periodically removed to discharge
same.
The bore of the mouthpiece or stem of the pipe or holder would be widened
abruptly a short distance from the end so as to prevent, by means of a step or
shoulder formed therein, saliva passing into same from the mouth returning.
Dated the 15th January 1895.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and relating to Tobacco Pipes and Cigar and
Cigarette Holders.
1, JOHN ROWAN, of 18 Mollingsburn Street, Springburn, in the City and County
of Glasgow, Brassfinisher, do hereby declare the nature of my invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement in writing that is to say :-
This invention has reference to improvements in and relating to tobacco pipes
and cigar and cigarette holders.
And in order that my said invention and the manner of carrying the same into
practice may be properly understood I have hereunto appended an explanatory
sheet of drawings, in which Figures 1 and 2 represent sectional views of two
forms of pipes, and Figure 3 a similar view of a cigar or cigarette holder, all as
formed in accordance with my improvements.

page_text: Referring to these drawings:-The improvements consist first, in forming slots,
ducts or openings a in the mouthpiece A or stem A¹ of the pipe or holder so that
the atmospheric air shall enter and combine with the smoke before it passes to the
mouth of the smoker and so give a cool and exhilarating effect.
These openings a would be formed at an angle so that the induction of the air
shall take place in the direction the smoke is travelling.
A chamber or reservoir A2 would be formed in the stem A¹ between the inner
end of the mouthpiece A and the pipe bowl A³ in which the saliva from the mouth and
nicotine from the tobacco would be trapped and collected. And as shown in Figure 1
a removable cap or ferrule b would be fitted or screwed on to a projecting stud b
formed on under side of stem, into which the collected liquid from reservoir A'
would pass through an angled oriface 6' and the cap b be periodically removed to
discharge same.
As shown in Figure 2 the bore e of the mouthpiece A may be carried some
distance into the trapping chamber to prevent any saliva returning to the mouth,
and similarly the bore c¹ of the pipe stem may be similarly extended into the
opposite end of trapping chamber to prevent nicotine returning into pipe bowl.
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 what
I claim is :-
In tobacco pipes and cigar or cigarette holders, the forming of slots, ducts or
openings in the mouth piece or stem for the atmospheric air to enter and combine
with the smoke, substantially as herein described in reference to and shown in the
accompanying drawings.
