Improvements in Tobacco Fipes.
I, JOHN PHILIP DAVIES Cambrian House New Quay, Cardiganshire, South
Wales, Gentleman, 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 improvements in tobacco pipes, the object of which is
to arrange a pipe in such a manner that all clogging of the drawing hole is done
away with, while the saliva is prevented from passing down the stem and damping
or moistening the tobacco, and no nicotine or other juices can reach the mouth.
In order that my invention may be more fully understood, I will now proceed to.
describe same with reference to the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1 is a.
side elevation of my improved pipe drawn at an enlarged scale, Fig. 2 being a.
sectional elevation of same, and Fig. 3 a plan of the disc hereinafter referred to.
According to my invention the bowl of the pipe b is furnished with a ledge or
ridge r designed to support a false bottom g consisting of a circular disc of any
suitable material containing a sufficient number of holes or perforations. This
disc g forms a support for the tobacco and prevents clogging, while it is secured in
any suitable and convenient manner upon the aforesaid ridge r, such for instance.
as by means of small pins or screws passing through the holes or perforations o¹
and taking into the ridge r. The lower portion of the bowl b acts as a well and is
designed to receive any juices or the like from the tobacco. The drawing hole or
passage his formed below the false bottom g so that it is impossible for it to become
clogged by the tobacco, while it is of a sufficient height above the bottom of the
well so as to prevent the tobacco juices or the like, which may be contained
within this part, from passing down same.
The mouth-piece end of the pipe p is formed with a receiver as shown at r
designed to retain the saliva which is liable to enter the stem, while the drawing
hole or passage h is arranged in the upper part of the stem h, and opens out into
the top of the said receiver r¹, so as to prevent the possibility of the saliva passing
down same.
I thus provide a dry and cool smoking-pipe, and one which will reduce to.a
minimum the injurious effects consequent upon the use of pipes of the ordinary well
known construction.
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:-
h
1. The new or improved tobacco pipe consisting of a bowl 6 having a false
bottom or support 9 with the draw hole or passage arranged below same, in
combination with the lower chamber 6 designed to retain the tobacco juices or the
like and a receiver r¹ in the mouth-piece end of the stem designed to receive any
saliva which would otherwise pass down the stem, the whole combined and arranged,.
substantially as herein described and shown, and for the purposes specified.
