Improvements in or relating to Tobacco-pipes and Cigar Holders.
A communication from LA SOCIETE VUILLARD & STRAUSS, of Saint Claude, Jura,
in the Republic of France, Pipe Manufacturers.
I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT, of 111, Hatton Garden, in the County of Middlesex.
Chartered Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to a novel construction of tobacco-pipe and cigar-holder.
and consists in the employment between the tubular stem adjacent to the bowl
or to the hollow portion for receiving the cigar and the month-piece, of a detach-
able tubular part having two, three or more longitudinal passages, for dividing
the smoke into two, three or more streams. In the case where this extension or
intermediate tube is perforated with two longitudinal openings the space between
the two tubes can be made hollow or perforated transversely or otherwise for the
purpose of making the additional part lighter or to add to the ornamental appear-
ance of the pipe or cigar-holder and to cool the smoke.
The intermediate part may be made of any suitable substance such as wood,
bone, ivory, amber, terra-cotta, glass, ebonite etc. and may be of any desired
section and shape. It may be adjusted on and connected to the bowl or front
tube and to the mouth piece by wedging or screwing or by a bayonet joint or in
any other suitable manner.

A communication from LA SOCIÉTÉ VUILLARD & STRAUSS, of Saint Claude, Jura,
in the Republic of France, Pipe Manufacturers.
I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT, of 111. Hatton Garden, in the County of London,
Chartered Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to a new construction of tobacco pipe and cigar holders,
and consists in the employment of an intermediate part between the bowl of the
pipe, or the cigar end of the holder, and the mouth-piece of either, which part is

page_text: provided lengthwise with two, three or more parallel rectilinear or not rectilinear
passages, for the purpose of dividing the smoke into two, three or more streams
with a view to more thoroughly cool the smoke and deprive it of nicotine, before
it reaches the mouth of the smoker.
The figures of the accompanying drawing illustrate an example of such a pipe,
the intermediate part of which is provided with two parallel longitudinal perfora-
tions. A similar device will also serve for a cigar holder.
Figure represents a longitudinal view of the pipe, and
Figure 2 is a central longitudinal section.
The pipe consists, like an ordinary pipe, of a bowl a of any construction; a
stem extending from the bowl at any desired angle and a mouth-piece d, and in
audition interposed between the mouth-piece d and the stem b, a detachable part c.
The interposed part e is pierced longitudinally with two parallel passages el c³
between which is formed a transverse slot extending through the part which
lightens the said part, cools the smoke and contributes to the appearance of the
pipe.
In the present example the ends of this tubular part fits tightly in correspond-
ing holes in the pipe stem and mouth piece respectively. Wings or
shoulders may limit the extent to which the interposed part c is to be inserted
into the parts and d. A ring 63 of metal or other material may be used to
strengthen or embellish the end of the stem b. The interposed part e may alter-
natively be united with the corresponding parts and d by means of a screw or
any other joint or connection.
The interposed tubular part e may be of any desired material such as, wood,
bone, ivory, amber, porcelain, ebonite, glass, etc., and may be of any desired form
as regards its cross section..
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said inven-
tion, as communicated to me by my foreign correspondents, and in what manner
the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is:-
1. A tobacco pipe or cigar holder comprising the bowl or outer end and the
mouth piece a detachable part, having two or more longitudinal, straight, or
broken p passages, for the purpose of dividing the smoke and purify it by cooling
substantially as described.
2. A tobacco pipe or cigar holder with a detachable intermediate part between
the bowl or outer end and the mouth piece and connected thereto by tight fitting
or by screws or other joints; the said intermediate part being provided with two
or more longitudinal passages with a slot extending transversely through the part
and between the passages for the purpose of cooling the smoke substantially as
described.
3. The complete tobacco pipe substantially as described and illustrated in the
accompanying drawings.
