Lancashire, Ironmonger, and HENRY BANCROFT, of 70, Market Street, Church,
Lancashire, Clogger, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The invention relates to an improved construction of tobacco pipes and is
intended to provide a pipe which will effectually allow of the tobacco being
entirely consumed-the tobacco not becoming moist with the saliva or nicotine,
a loose bottom having two or more slots on its outer edge or circumference
dividing the tobacco chamber from a chamber underneath wherein all ashes
moisture or nicotine descends, the loose bottom can be easily removed through
the mouth of the bowl which then allows of it being easily and thoroughly
cleaned. Into this lower chamber the stem or mouthpiece projects and is fixed
into its position by screwing in or otherwise. This stem is formed with a passage
or bore which at its end is closed, but has an aperture on the underside preferably
a round hole of the same size or diameter of the passage or bore. Such said hole
to be situated in the centre of the diameter of the bowl, the outer surface of the
projecting stem not coming into contact with the sides of the chamber-hence
this passage or bore of the stem opening only on its underneath side causes an up-
draught of the smoke when in use-which causes the smoke to be drawn down
along the sides of the bottom chamber and thence up into the stem-the ashes
thus adhere to the sides of the chamber along with the moisture and are not
conveyed into the stem.

An Improved Construction of Tobacco Pipes.
'We, RICHARD ROSE MOORE, of Moss Lane West, Brooks' Bar, Manchester,
Lancashire, Ironmonger, and HENRY BANCROFT, of 70, Market Street, Church,
Lancashire, Clogger, 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 ralates in an improved construction of tobacco pines and is

page_text: intended to provide a pipe which will effectually allow of the tobacco being
entirely consumed, the tobacco not becoming moist with the saliva or nicotine.
On the annexed drawings, Figs. 1, 2 and 3 are transverse sections showing three
ways of carrying our invention into practice.
Fig. 4 shews in plan a detached part hereafter referred to.
The pipe is fitted with a loose bottom 6 in the bowl a a', having two or more
slots (see detached plan Fig. 4) on its outer edge or circumference and dividing
the tobacco chamber a of the bowl from a chamber a¹ underneath wherein all
ashes, moisture, or nicotine descends, the loose bottom 6 can be easily removed
through the mouth of the bowl which allows of it being easily and thoroughly
cleaned; or when made as seen at Fig. 1 the part 6 may be pushed up from
beneath by removing the stem c.
Into the lower chamber a this stem c or mouth-
piece projects and is fixed into its position by screwing in or otherwise; this
stem c is formed with a passage or bore which at its end is preferably closed,
but has an aperture or opening c¹ on the underside, preferably a round hole of
the same size as the diameter of the passage or bore, such hole to be situated at
or about the centre of the diameter of the bowl, the outer surface of the projecting
stem (and by preference the end c³ also) not coming into contact with the sides
of the chamber; hence this passage or bore of the stem c having an opening c¹
only on its underneath side causes an up-draught of the smoke when in use which
causes the smoke to be drawn down along the sides of the bottom chamber a¹
and thence up into the stem c; the ashes thus adhere to the sides of the chamber a¹
along with the moisture and are not likely to be conveyed into the stem c.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is:-
The improved construction of tobacco pipes consisting of the combination with
a bowl having a loose or false bottom with suitable openings, of a stem projecting
into the bowl below the false bottom and provided (at about the centre of the
bowl) with an opening on its under side communicating with the bore substantially
as hereinbefore described and illustrated by the annexed drawings.
