PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in Tobacco Pipes.
CHARLES MARE PETT HOWAT TRISCOTT of No. 4 Clarendon Buildings,
Southsea, General Manager, Portsmouth & Southsea Army & Navy Stores do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
An invention for the purpose of preventing nicotine from entering the mouth
and for removing the nicotine without separating the mouthpiece from the stem of
the pipe. To accomplish this I insert into the hollow stem of the pipe a mouth-
piece formed so that the lower section is closed to a certain height whilst the upper
section is open in a lesser degree. To remove the nicotine I turn the mouthpiece
so that the position of the above sections is reversed thus allowing the nicotine to
be thrown out through the mouthpiece from the hollow stem of the pipe.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in Tobacco Pipes.
I, CHARLES MARE PETT HOWAT TRISCOTT of No. + Clarendon Buildings,
Southsea, General Manager, Portsmouth and Southsea Army and Navy Stores, 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 has for its object to produce a tobacco pipe so constructed as to
prevent the egress of the juices of the tobacco employed therein and entering the
mouth.
Referring to the accompanying sheet of drawings which illustrates and forms
part of this Specification
Figure 1 represents a longitudinal sectional view of a pipe formed in accordance
with my invention, and Figure 3 is a similar view showing the mouthpiece
reversed.
Figure 2 is a sectional view of a mouthpiece having a conical plug inserted in
the front or inner end;
Figure 4 is a cross section of a pipe stem drawn on line C. D. Figure 2;
Figure 5 is a like cross section drawn on line A. B. Figure 1; and
Figure 6 shows the plug as grooved instead of being bored.
In carrying out my invention I form a tobacco pipe of any suitable material or
substance, the stem A. of which is bored or drilled sufficiently large to serve as a
reservoir D for the purpose of arresting and retaining the juices extracted from
the tobacco during the act of smoking. The channel a which connects the bowl C
with the reservoir D is exteaded within said reservoir to form a projection b.
The mouthpiece B, which I prefer to adopt, is so formed, that the channel c,
instead of being parallel with the longitudinal axis of the pipe stem, is bored at an
angle thereto, so that the aperture d, in place of being central, is eccentric there-
with. The object of boring the mouthpiece in this manner is, that when arranged
for smoking, the mouthpiece would be disposed in the manner shown in Figure 1,
whereby said aperture d, being higher than the centre, none of the juices can
possibly enter the mouth. In order to clear the reservoir of the juices which may
have accumulated therein, it is only necessary to give the mouthpiece B a half
[Price 6d.]

page_text: turn to bring the aperture d into the position shown in Figure 3, when said juices
may be shaken out without removing the mouthpiece from the stem.
may sometimes introduce into the front or inner end of the mouthpiece Ba
plug E preferably of conical shape as shown in Figure 2, the channel of which
may be bored as-shown in Figures 2 and 4, or grooved as shown in cross section in
Figure 6.
From the foregoing it will be readily understood that, by means of the pro-
jecting tube b and the eccentric position of the aperture d of the mouthpiece B,
the juices of the tobacco in the bowl C are arrested and accumulate in the reser-
voir D, and can neither enter the mouth nor return to the bowl, thus ensuring
sweeter and more satisfactory smoking than is obtainable with pipes of other con-
struction.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is -
First In combination with a tobacco pipe the stem of which forms a reservoir
the adaptation thereto and employment therewith of a mouthpiece the channel or
bore of which is formed at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the stem
of the pipe substantially as set forth and shown.
Second: In combination with a mouthpiece the bore or channel of which is
formed at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the stem thereof of a conical
plug grooved or bored substantially as described and illustrated.
