COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tobacco Pipes and Cigar and Cigarette Holders.
I, FREDERICK WILLIAM GOLBY, of 36 Chancery Lane, in the County of Middlesex,
Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, as communicated to me by Sylvain Dumont, of Rue
de l'Evêché 3, Nivelles, Belgium, Gentleman, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to tobacco pipes and cigar and cigarette holders, which are
so fitted or arranged that every condition suitable for the health of the sınoker is
fulfilled, as regards the temperature of the smoke and the retention of the nicotine.
The temperature of the smoke is lowered by compelling it to pass through a passage
which is nearly equal in length to three times that of the pipe, cigar or cigarette
tube.
In order to retain the nicotine within the pipe or holder, the interior of the latter
is lined with some suitable material that completely absorbs it.
Fig. 1 in the accompanying drawing is a longitudinal_section through the axis of
a so-called Belgian or straight pipe. A being the bowl, B the lower opening of the
bowl, D the tube or stem and E the mouth piece screwed or fixed on to the tube or
stern.
Into the bore of the tube D a second tube C is introduced and serves as a filter..
The filtering substance is blotting paper or some other suitable porous material which
readily absorbs moisture.
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section through the tube of a tobacco pipe or cigar or
cigarette holder, the arrangement of the filter C being the same as that shown in
Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 represents the connection of a tobacco pipe tube with a so-called English or
bent pipe, the same reference letters being used for similar parts as in Figs. 1 and 2.
The filtering tube C is here arranged between two additional pieces, an upper
piece F and a lower piece G, the latter being hollowed out in the form of a cone
terminating at the top in a very narrow channel.
Besides this peculiar feature of the tube, the bowl also presents some peculiarity,
its connecting part being provided with two channels H H¹ leading to the deepest
parts of the bowl, where they terminate in an additional reservoir J which is closed
by a nut K and a washer L."
The filtering tube C may be used alone as shown in Figs. 1 to 3, or it may be used
in combination with a spiral arrangement N, such as is shown in Fig. 4, which is
fitted into the filtering tube in such a manner that the smoke is forced to pass around
the cylinder a, forming the solid body of the spiral arrangement, through the
channels b formed by the screw thread of the spiral arrangement. These channels b
are confined between the cylindrically shaped side of the filtering tube C, and the
similarly shaped body a of the spiral N and at the right and left within the windings
of the spiral arrangement.

page_text: The intermediate piece M. may also be suitably bored as shown in the drawing.
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 :-
1. In tobacco pipes, cigar and cigarette holders, the arrangement of a filtering
tube C inside the bore of the tube or stem, made of a material capable of absorbing
moisture, such as blotting paper, in combination with a spiral arrangement N for
the purpose of compelling the smoke to pass through a channel longer than the
length of the pipe and to retain as much as possible of the nicotine and noxious
moisture contained in the smoke on the sides of the filtering tube and of the spiral
arrangement respectively substantially as described with reference to Fig. 4 of the
accompanying drawings.
2. A tobacco pipe, cigar or cigarette holder constructed substantially as and for
the purpose hereinbefore described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
