PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
I, GEORGE WILLIAM LANDER of 4 Arthur Road, South Hornsey, in the County of
Middlesex, Commercial Traveller, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
My invention has reference to a construction of tobacco pipe that can be readily
cleaned. For this purpose I provide a removable bottom or lining to the bowl and
to the hole or passage formed through the stem of the pipe, which hole or passage
is made sufficiently large in cross sectional area to receive its removable bottom or
lining.
The removable bottom for the bowl and that for the stem can be made in one
piece of any suitable material the removable stem bottom projecting from that for the
bowl and being formed with a longitudinal groove or channel. An opening is
formed in the wall of the bowl at the opposite side to that from which the stem
projects; through this opening the removable bottoms can be inserted or withdrawn ';
the removable bowl bottom is or may be made with a flange or shield to effectually
close the opening in the wall of the bowl and give a neat appearance to the pipe.
The mouth piece is also made capable of ready removal from the stem and so that
t can easily be replaced. The removable bottom extends into the mouth piece.
Dated this 30th day of December 1889.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
I, GEORGE WILLIAM LANDER, of 4 Arthur Road, South Hornsey, in the County of
London, Commercial Traveller, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described in and by
the following statement :-
My invention has reference to a construction of tobacco pipe that can be readily
cleaned. For this purpose I provide a removable bottom or lining to the bowl and
to the hole or passage formed through the stem of the pipe, which hole or passage
is made sufficiently large in cross sectional area to receive its removable bottom or
lining.
The removable bottom for the bowl and that for the stem can be made in one
piece of any suitable material (such as bone or steel, for examples) the removable
stem bottom projecting from that for the bowl and being formed with a longitudinal
groove or channel.
An opening is formed in the wall of the bowl at the opposite
side to that from which the stem projects; through this opening the removable
bottoms can be inserted or withdrawn; the removable bowl bottom is or may be
made with a projection, flange, or shield, to effectually close the opening in the wall
of the bowl and give a neat appearance to the pipe. The mouth piece is also made
capable of ready removal from the stem and so that it can easily be replaced. The
removable stem bottom extends into the mouth piece.
In the accompanying drawings,
Fig. 1 is a contral longitudinal section of a pipe constructed according to this
nvention.

page_text: 1 is the removable bottom for the pipe bowl, and 2 is the removable bottom of the
pipe stem. These two removable bottoms can be made in one piece or in separate
parts suitably fastened together. 3 is an opening in the wall of the bowl through
which these removable bottoms can be inserted in place for use as shown in Fig. 1,
and withdrawn for cleaning when necessary. The removable bowl bottom 1 in the
example, is a flat piece large enough to cover or nearly cover the actual bottom of
the bowl.
6 is
The removable stem bottom 2, which is formed with a longitudinal groove or
channel 2*, extends through the pipe stem 4 and into the mouth piece 5, which latter
is connected to the pipe stem in such a way as to be capable of ready removal.
a plug or part that conforms in shape with the hole formed in the wall of the bowl so
as to close that hole when the bottoms are in place. This plug or part carries at its
outer end a flange or shield 7 that ensures the effectual closing of the hole 3 in the
wall of the bowl and is of such a shape externally as to give a neat appearance to
the pipe. This plug or part with flange or shield may be made in one piece with the
removable bowl bottom 1, but in the example shown, is made separate and is secured
to the bottom 1 by an extension 8 of the bottom which passes through the lower part
of the flange or shield and is bent over at its outer end as shown at 9, the projecting
end serving as a lug for pulling the removable bottoms from the pipe. The plug or
part with flange or shield when made separate, may be of metal, but will usually be
of similar material to that of which the pipe bowl is made, as for example of
wood.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A tobacco pipe having a removable bowl bottom, and a removable stem bottom
formed with a longitudinal groove or channel, these removable bottoms being
inserted in place through an opening formed through the wall of the bowl, and the
outer end of the said bowl bottom being formed or provided with a shield or part
adapted to close the said opening when the bottoms are in place substantially as
herein described for the purpose specified.
2. My improved tobacco pipe with removable bottoms substantially as described
and shewn.
