PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Tobacco-pipe.
I, FRANÇOIS JULIEN GROSPELLIER, of 22 Rue du Pré, St. Claude (Jura) France
Pipe Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to an improved tobacco-pipe wherein a trap for the nicotine is
provided in the mouth-piece, whereby the disagreeable odor emanating from pipes in
which the nicotine trap is contained within the pipe stem, as usual, is avoided.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this Specifi-
cation, wherein
Figure 1 represents a longitudinal section of the pipe ;
Figure 2 shews the mouth piece; and
:
Figure 3 the union-piece by which the mouth piece and bowl are connected.
aa is a chamber formed in the vulcanite mouth-piece to receive the nicotine,
dy is an intermediate tubular union piece screwing into the stem of the pipe, the
chambered end of the mouth piece fitting on to the plain spigot end which is
provided with a soft rubber packing e adjustably compressed by a screw-gland / so as
to project sufficiently beyond the circumference of d to fit tightly in the chamber a and
prevent leakage of the nicotine deposited therein, past the joint. The screw end g
carries a bone tube forming a continuation of the bore of the union piece and
projecting into the pipe-stem and conducting the smoke directly to the mouth piece
through the tubular union-piece and gland. The latter carries a tubular extension e
projecting into the chamber a which, in conjunction with tube e and chamber a,
constitute the nicotine trap. The intermediate union piece separates the pipe stem
from the mouth piece and prevents the intercepted nicotine from impregnating the
pipe stem.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Tobacco-pipe.
I, FRANÇOIS JULIEN GROSPELLIER, of 22, Rue du Pré Saint Claude (Jura) France,
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:-
My invention relates to an improved tobacco-pipe, wherein a trap for the nicotine is
provided in the vulcanite mouth piece whereby the disagreeable odor emanating from
pipes in which the nicotine trap is contained within the wooden part of the pipe stem,
as usual, is avoided.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this Specifi-
cation wherein
Figure 1 represents a longitudinal section of the pipe ;
Figure 2 shews the mouth piece; and
Figure 3 the union piece by which the mouth piece and bowl are connected.
a a is a chamber formed in the vulcanite mouth piece to receive the nicotine ;
de g is an intermediate tubular union piece screwing into the stem of the pipe,
the chambered end of the mouth piece fitting on to the plain spigot end d which

page_text: is provided with a soft rubber packing adjustably compressed by a screw gland i
so as to project sufficiently beyond the circumference of d to fit tightly as a plug
in the chamber a and prevent leakage of the nicotine deposited therein, past
the joint. The screw end of the union piece carries a bone tube e forming a
continuation of the bore of said union piece, which tube projects into the pipe
stem and bears against a rubber or other washer placed therein, as shewn, the
smoke being thus conducted directly to the mouth piece through the tubular
union piece and gland i, completely isolated from the pipe stem. The gland i
carries a tubular extension projecting into the chamber a of the mouth piece
which, in conjunction with tube a' and chamber a constitute the nicotine trap.
The flange g of the intermediate union piece separates the pipe stem from the
mouth piece and prevents the intercepted nicotine from impregnating the pipe
stem.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim is ;-
1st. The chamber a formed in the hard rubber mouth picce of a tobacco-pipe, as
and for the purpose specified.
2nd. In combination, the chamber a in the mouth piece, the soft rubber packing
ring c fixed to the union piece d and fitting in the chamber a, as and for the purpose
specified.
3rd. The tube e carried by the union piece and forming a liner for the pipe stem in
combination with elastic washer whereby the smoke is completely isolated from the
wooden stem, as specified.
4th. The combination and arrangement of parts constituting the improved tobacco
pipe herein described.
