PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and relating to Tobacco Pipes and Cigar and
Cigarette Holders.
JAMES BRADSHAW ORRELL, No. 11 Smedley Lane, Cheetham, Manchester,
Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
By making apertures in the pipe or holders for the air to pass into the smoke
passage of the pipe the cigar holder or the cigarette holder, as the smoke passes
from the tobacco or cigar into the mouth of the smoker, whereby a large saving is
effected through the slower combustion of the tobacco or cigar. My improvement
also prevents the nicotine being drawn into the mouth, thus giving a cooler smoke
and freer in drawing, and a considerable saving in the tobacco and cigar.
Dated this Thirty-first day of May 1892.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and relating to Tobacco Pipes and Oigar and
Cigarette Holders.
I JAMES BRADSHAW ORRELL of No. 11 Smedley Lane, Cheetham, Manchester,
in the County of Lancaster, Gentleman, 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 and accompanying
drawings:-
My invention relates to tobacco pipes and to cigar and cigarette holders and has
for its objects to obtain a slower combustion of the tobacco or cigar, and to prevent
the nicotine or condensed vapour from the tobacco or cigar from passing into the
mouth of the smoker and to check the flow of saliva into the pipe stem or the cigar
holder.
My invention is illustrated by the accompanying drawing which represents a
section of a pipe.
In the stem of the pipe I make apertures a b c for the purpose of admitting air
into the smoke passage of the pipe. The said apertures are made of small sizes as
compared with the smoke passage at d so as not to have collectively so large an
area as to reduce the draught through the pipe bowl to too great an extent. The
entry of air through the apertures checks the draught through the tobacco so that
a slow and complete combustion of the tobacco or cigar is obtained and a saving
is effected. The nicotine or moisture from the tobacco remains in the smoke
chamber ate the entry of air through the apertures lessening the tendency for
such matters to be drawn into the mouth of the smoker when the pipe is in use.
The admission of air through the apertures also prevents saliva or moisture from
the mouth of the smoker from being drawn into the smoke passage of the pipe by
the reflux of smoke, the consequence being that the nicotine lodging in the smoke
chamber does not become diluted and increased in volume so as to be likely to be
drawn into the mouth so that only a dry cool smoke is drawn into the mouth more
easily and freely whereby the nauseous tastes and sickly feelings usually experienced
in smoking are prevented. There is also less waste or loss arising from portions of
the tobacco becoming damp or incombustible. The nicotine lodging in the smoke
chamber can easily be cleaned out when required. The air admitted through the
apertures reduces the power of the smoker to effect a too quick combustion of the
fn' 011

thence into the mouth.
In the cases of cigar and cigarette holders I provide air inlet holes as in the
case of the pipe the effect being the same. Although I show three air inlet
apertures in the example illustrated I do not confine myself to this number and
might provide more than three or might in some cases provide only the apertures
at a and c. The form and construction of the pipe may be varied as desired.
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 :-
1. The pipe formed with air inlet apertures substantially as set forth and
indicated.
2. In a pipe or cigar or cigarette holder two or more apertures opening into the
smoke passage and admitting air directly into such passage substantially as and for
the purposes set forth.
