PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tobacco-pipes.
I, JULIEN FRANÇOIS GROSPELLIER-JOLY, of St. Claude (Jura), in the Republic
of France, Tobacco-pipe Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in tobacco-pipes and is chiefly charac-
terized by the combination, with the stem of a tobacco-pipe, of a removable
tube, made in a single piece or of two longitudinally grooved pieces pressed or
held one against the other when they are introduced into the stem of the pipe,
which constitutes the aspiratory canal for the passage of the smoke.
In the accompanying drawing I have shown, as an example only, a tobacco-
pipe constructed according to my invention.
Figure 1 is an elevation.
Figure 2 is a longitudinal section, and
Figure 3 is a detail view showing one form of the removable tube forming
the aspiratory canal.
Like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the drawings.
As shown in the drawings the two pieces a, a are introduced into the stem b
of the pipe the passage through which is formed of such a size that they are
pressed or held together and form the aspiratory canal. These pieces extend
almost to the bowl c; and, in consequence, the canal which they form receives
the smoke immediately it leaves the bowl and conducts it directly to the
smoker's mouth. Each of the two pieces a, al is provided at one end, with an
enlargement or projecting portion d, which together form the rim of the
tube, to prevent the said tube passing too far into the stem, and replace the
usual enlargement at the mouth-piece end of the stem. This arrangement per-
mits the pipe to be readily-cleaned, obviates the liability of the passage through
the stem becoming choked or plugged up and renders the aspiration of the
smoke perfect.
It is not necessary to separate the stem from the bowl in the process of clean-
ing the pipe, since the tube a, a' can be readily withdrawn by grasping it by
means of the rim d, d.
I can, if desired, make this removable tube in a single piece instead of in
two pieces as above described, but the division of the tube into two parts offers
the advantage that the process of cleaning the said tube itself is thereby made
more easy.
The tube can be easily replaced when it is considered necessary. It can be
constructed of the same material as that of which the tube b is composed or of
any other suitable material. These improvements are applicable to pipes of all
kinds and of all forms.

Improvements in Tobacco-pipes.
I, JULIEN FRANÇOIS GROSPELLIER-JOLY, of St. Claude (Jura), in the Republic
of France, Tobacco-pipe Manufacturer, 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 relates to improvements in tobacco-pipes and is chiefly charac-
terized by the combination, with the stem of a tobacco-pipe, of a removable
tube made in a single piece or of two grooved pieces pressed or held one against
the other when they are introduced into the stem of the pipe, which removable
tube constitutes the aspiratory canal for the passage of the smoke.
In the drawing accompanying my Provisional Specification, I have shown, as
an example only, a tobacco-pipe constructed according to my invention.
Figure 1 is an elevation, Figure 2 is a longitudinal section, and
Figure 3 is a detail view showing one form of the removable tube forming
the aspiratory canal.
Like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the drawing.
As shown in the drawing, the two pieces a, a are introduced into the stem b
of the pipe the passage through which is formed of such a size that they are
pressed or held together and form the aspiratory canal. These pieces extend
almost to the bowl e, and, in consequence, the canal which they form receives
the smoke immediately it leaves the bowl and conducts it directly to the
smoker's mouth. Each of the two pieces a, is provided at one end, with an
enlargement or projecting portion or which together form the rim of the
tube to prevent the said tube passing too far into the stem, and replace the
usual enlargement at the mouth-piece end of the stem. This arrangement per-
mits the pipe to be readily cleaned, obviates the liability of the passage through
the stem becoming choked or plugged up and renders the aspiration of the
smoke perfect.
It is not necessary to separate the stem from the bowl in the process of clean-
ing the pipe, since the tube a a¹ can be readily withdrawn by grasping it by
means of the rim d, .
I can, if desired, make this removable tube in a single piece instead of in
two pieces as above described, but the division of the tube into two parts offers
the advantage that the process of cleaning the said tube itself is thereby made
more easy.
The tube can be easily replaced when it is considered necessary. It can be
constructed of the same material as that of which the tube b is composed or of
any other suitable material. These improvements are applicable to pipes of all
kinds and of all forms.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
1. A tobacco-pipe, provided with a removable tube which constitutes the
aspiratory canal, substantially as described.
2. A tobacco-pipe constructed substantially as described with reference to
the drawing.
