DI MULTICATION.
Improvements in and relating to Tobacco Pipes, also applicable to
Cigar and Cigarette Holders and Tubes.
I, WILLIAM PLANT of 13, Hick Street Highgate Birmingham in the County of
Warwick Plumber and Gas Fitter, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object the checking of the passage of nicotine and other
impurities through the stems of tobacco pipes and cigar and cigarette holders and
also providing a means whereby such stems can be readily cleansed.
Take for instance a tobacco pipe.
I utilize the metal or other mount upon the stem by a special formation of the
same, such mount being made with a reservoir or chamber in connection therewith,
the bore running through the mount is made to converge from either end towards a
trap or well hole which is in the interior portion of the mount within the reservoir,
so that the nicotine will pass down this trap or well hole and is conducted into the
reservoir which receives and traps it so that it is impossible for it to return to the
stem no matter how the pipe may be held.
The reservoir is provided with an outlet fitted with an air tight screw cap or plug
the removal of which enables the nicotine &c. to be blown out or discharged from
the reservoir & thus the pipe is cleansed.
The above method can be applied to any kind of pipe or cigar holder etc.
I can when desired dispense altogether with the metal mount & reservoir thereon
and form a reservoir within the stem of the pipe or holder by hollowing out as much
as is required of the stem and by disconnecting the bore or channel which passes
into and through the reservoir a trap is formed and the passage of nicotine etc.
broken, the bore protruding into the reservoir on either side but not meeting so that
no nicotine can return to the stem.
The stem will unscrew through the reservoir to admit of the same being cleansed,
and the nicotine discharged.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and relating to Tobacco Pipes, also applicable to
Cigar and Cigarette Holders and Tubes.
I, WILLIAM PLANT of 13, Hick Street, Highgate, Birmingham in the County of
Warwick, Plumber and Gasfitter, 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 :-
Fig. 1 is a section and Fig. 2 an elevation of a tobacco pipe shewing my
improvements.
Fig. 3 is a section shewing a modification of my invention.
When constructed as shewn in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, I utilize the mount A upon the
stem of the pipe B, by a special formation as follows.
The underside of the mount A is constructed as a double chamber, i.e. an interior
chamber C, and an exterior chamber or reservoir D. As will be seen the tubular
bore, of the pipe stem and mouth piece are disconnected at E, E', and the inner
portion of the mount is made to converge from either end as at F, F', towards a
DC27

page_text: trap, or well hole G; this well hole leads directly into the reservoir D, so that
nicotine and other impurities will be received by the inner chamber C, and will
run down the trap or well hole G and is thus conducted to the reservoir D, whence
it can be readily discharged, by placing the hand over the pipe bowl and removing
the air tight screw, cap, or plug H, from the outlet H', and by blowing down the
mouth piece the nicotine etc., is discharged from the reservoir D, and the pipe
cleansed.
By this arrangement it is absolutely impossible for any nicotine or other impurity
to pass from the pipe bowl to the mouth piece neither can the nicotine return from
the reservoir to the pipe stem or mouth piece by reason of the tubular bore
projecting into the inner chamber as shewn at E, E¹.
The month piece of the pipe may screw into the mount as at I, or otherwise fit
in so that it can be readily taken apart.
Fig. 3 shews a modification acting precisely as in method described in Figs. 1
and 2 but having the outlet from the reservoir and the screw cap or plug in a
different position, the effect will however be the same.
The above improved method will equally and with like effect apply to any and
every description of tobacco pipe or cigar or cigarette holder.
I may mention that I do not wish to confine myself to the hereinbefore mentioned
precise details as I may modify the same without materially departing from the
general principle of my invention.
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
1st. The method of disconnecting the bore of tobacco pipes, and cigar holders,
and tubes, and the manner of providing a double chamber or reservoir for the
reception & collection of nicotine and other impurities.
2nd. I claim, the general improved method herein more fully described or any
mere equivalent thereof, by which tobacco pipes & cigar & cigarette holders and
tubes may be cleansed from nicotine or other impurities and the manner in which
such improvements are carried into effect substantially as herein set forth and
described.
