PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Pipes for Smoking Tobacco.
I THOMAS DUTSON BOULTON, of 18 Montpellier Terrace, Cheltenham, in the County
of Gloucester, Sculptor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows
My invention relates to an improved construction of tobacco-pipe, and has for its
object means whereby the nicotine is prevented from entering the mouth of the
smoker, and is conveyed to an outlet provided in the said pipe from whence it is easily
removed.
According to this my invention, I form a pipe similar to tobacco-pipes hitherto
used, with a bowl and stem, but having a second tube in the underneath part of the
pipe, which communicates at any convenient point near the mouthpiece, with the tube
or bore which conveys the smoke to the sınoker.
The said second tube forms a sloping well leading to the underneath of the bowl,
down which, the nicotine travels to an outlet, which is provided with a screw or other
plug. Upon removal of the said plug the nicotine and other foul matter can be
removed.
The aforementioned plug can be provided with a wire or the like, which may go the
whole length of the under tube or well, and which will draw out all the foul
matter when the plug is removed from the outlet at the end of the said lower tube
or well.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Pipes for Smoking Tobacco.
I THOMAS DUTSON BOULTON, of 18 Montpellier Terrace, Cheltenham, in the County
of Gloucester, Sculptor, 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 relates to an improved construction of tobacco-pipe, and has for its
object, means whereby siliva and nicotine are prevented from entering the mouth of
the smoker, being conveyed to an outlet provided in the said pipe, from whence they
are easily discharged.
And in order that my invention may be more readily understood, I have shewn
same on the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which
Fig. 1 is a section of my improved pipe ;
Fig. 2 is a side view of a cleaning appliance for use in connection with my improved
form of pipe, and
Fig. 3 is a section of the screw in the mouthpiece of the pipe.
clay, or any
I form my improved pipe as shown in Fig. 1 of wood, meer
suitable material used in the manufacture of tobacco pipes. A. is the bowl of the
pipe, having the ordinary bore or tube B leading therefrom to near the mouthpiece,
where another tube or well C meets same obliquely.
This second tube or well C, at the point where it joins the said drawing-tube or
bore B, forms a well into which the foul matter is precipitated, and from thence it
travels down the inclined tube or well C, which is formed in the underneath of the
pipe as shewn, to an outlet formed in the end of same, and which outlet is provided
with a screw plug or other closing means as shown at E.

page_text: The manner in which the nicotine and the like is prevented from entering the mouth
of the smoker as shown in Fig. 1.
The smoke is drawn down the tube or bore B to where it strikes against the end of
the screw D, whence it deposits the moisture and nicotine into the well formed by the
junction of the tubes B and C. The purified smoke has then to travel upwards into
the small tube or bore B' formed in the screw D in the mouthpiece, and so on until
it reaches the mouth of the smoker, as shown by the arrow.
For the purpose of readily cleaning out the passage C, 1 fix a wire E¹ at one of its
ends, to the screw-plug E, while at the other end of the said wire, I form a circular
scraper or cleaner E. This said wire E' is pushed up the passage C until the scraper
or cleaner E2 presses close against the side of the well as shown. When the screw-
plug E is unscrewed, and the wire E' and its attendant scraper or cleaner E' thereby
withdrawn, the said cleaner or scraper E, brings with it, all the nicotine and other
foul matter, which will have collected in the passage C.
My improved pipe can be made in any shape, and can be formed in one piece, or
can be divided into two or more parts as shewn in Fig. 1, the mouthpiece A² being
shewn therein screwed onto the stem A¹.
The outlet for the nicotine can be made at any point in the underneath of the pipe,
instead of being formed in the end of same as shewn.
My improvements can also be applied to cigar and cigarette tubes or holders.
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. In tobacco pipes, the use of a perforated screw D, through which the smoke has
to traverse, in combination with an inclined well or tube C and cleaning means E³, E²,
substantially as hereinbefore described and shewn, and for the purpose specified.
2. In tobacco-pipes, the well or tube C in combination with the perforated
screw D and cleaning means E', E2, substantially as hereinbefore described and
shewn, and for the purpose set forth.
3. In tobacco-pipes of the form described, the use of the cleaning means E, E
in combination with the well or tube C, and the perforated screw D, substantially
as herein before described and shown, and for the purpose set forth.
