COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tobacco Pipes, Cigar, and Cigarette Holders.
I, JOHN TAYLOR of Tomago, New South Wales, Engineer, 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:-
This invention relates to improvements in tobacco pipes, cigar and cigarette
holders, which are constructed in such a manner, that, when in use, practically no
nicotine can enter the stem; the stem will always be free; they will smoke cool,
sweet and dry; will not become coated on the inside; if either tobacco, cigars, or
cigarettes are being smoked, they will be consumed to the last particle; and when
the stem, being connected by an annular channel cut in the top of bowl.
I effect these improvements by providing a chamber and receptacle for the
nicotine and moisture, divided from the stem by means of a distinct barrier, and
connecting the chamber and the stem by means of ducts, which are either bored
in the bowl itself, or planted on the outside of same, as hereinafter described.
The accompanying drawings, in which similar letters refer to similar parts,
illustrate the invention.
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section of a tobacco pipe, shewing the connecting ducts,
between the chamber and stem, bored in the bowl.
Fig. 2 is a front view, and Fig. 3 is a plan of the same.
Fig. 4 is a side elevation of a tobacco pipe, shewing the connecting ducts between
the chamber and the stem, planted on the outside.
Fig. 5 is a modification of Fig. 1, the vertical ducts to connect the chamber with
the stem, being connected by an annular channel cut in the top of bowl.
Fig. 6 shews a longitudinal section of a cigar holder with the ducts connecting
the chamber and the stem, bored in the material. Fig. 7 is a plan of same.
Fig. 8 shews an exaggerated longitudinal section of a cigarette holder, with the
connection between the chamber and stem planted on the outside, and Fig. 9 is
a plan of same.
In Figs. 1, 2 and 3, a is the bowl, b the stem, the chamber, the barrier,
e, f and f¹ the ducts bored in the bowl (e and f being nearly vertical), connecting
the chamber with the stem, fil a plug at the top of ducts e and f, and fill a plug
in the side of the bowl, g the channel from the bottom of bowl to the chamber, and
the receptacle.
In Fig. 4, a is the bowl, b the stem, c the chamber, d the barrier, e and f ducts
of metal, vulcanite or other suitable material, planted on the outside of the bowl,
held in position by the strap el, and connecting the chamber with the stem; fll a
plug at the top of ducts, 9 the channel from the bottom of bowl to the chamber,
and ha cap in place of a receptacle.
In Fig. 5, a is the bowl, b the stem, c the chamber, d the barrier, e and f
vertical ducts bored in the front and back of the bowl, for connecting the chamber
with the stem, fi is an annular channel cut in the top of bowl to connect the
ducts e and fell is a cap which covers in this channel and makes an air-tight
joint, is the channel from the bottom of the bowl to the chamber.
In Figs. 6 and 7, a is the bowl, 6 the stem, c the chamber, d the barrier,

page_text: e and the ducts bored in the material of which the cigar holder is made, f" a
plug at the end of ducts, g the channel from the bowl to the chamber, and h the
receptacle.
In Figs.
and 9, is the bowl of a cigarette holder, b the stem, e the chamber,
d the barrier, e and f the ducts of metal, vulcanite or other suitable material,
for connecting the chamber with the stem, planted on the outside of the holder,
and secured by the strap el; f" is a plug at the end of ducts, and the receptacle.
The arrows in each view show the direction. which the smoke travels.
In Figs. 1, 2 and 3, from the bowl a, the smoke travels through the channel
g
and enters the chamber c, in which the nicotine and moisture is deposited, it is
then drawn through the ducts f', f and e into the stem; by this arrangement,
the heat from the glowing tobacco is drawn away from the mouth instead of
towards it as customarily, and the smoke has to travel further, owing to the length
of the ducts; as a consequence, the pipe is cool smoking; the saliva which may
enter the stem, cannot reach the tobacco, therefore the tobacco can be smoked till
only ashes are left, and no moist plug remains. After using the pipe, by removing
the receptacle h and blowing down the stem, any saliva which may be therein, is
driven into the chamber c, and may be emptied therefrom; the plug f may or
may not be used, as the duct f' may be bored only far enough to meet the bottom
of the duct f, as from experience, I find that the ducts are always practically
, clear.
The pipes shewn in Figs. 4 and 5 operate in a similar manner to that above
described.
In the cigar holder, Figs. 6 and 7, and the cigarette holder, 8 and 9, the smoke
travels in the direction of the arrows, the nicotine and moisture being caught in
the receptacle h, and by blowing through the stem after removing the receptacle,
any saliva which may be in the ducts is driven out through the chamber.
This invention is applicable to any design of pipe, cigar or cigarette holder,
whether made of wood, meerschaum, clay or any other material.
I do not claim the receptacle h as it is well known.
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, a chamber divided from the stem by means of a distinct
barrier, and connected with the bore of said stem by means of ducts bored in the
bowl, substantially as described, and shewn in the drawings and for the purpose
berein set forth.
2. In tobacco pipes, a chamber divided from the stem by means of a distinct
barrier, and connected with the bore of said stem by means of ducts planted on
the outside of the bowl, substantially as described and shewn in Fig. 4, and for
the purpose herein set forth.
3. In cigar and cigarette holders, a chamber divided from the stem by means of
a distinct barrier, and connected with the bore of said stem by means of ducts
bored in the material of which they are made, substantially as described and shewn
on the drawings and for the purpose herein set forth.
4. In cigar and cigarette holders, a chamber divided from the stem by means of
a distinct barrier, and connected with the bore of said stem by means of ducts
planted on the outside, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
