Improvements in Pipes for Smoking Tobacco.
Year: 1899

page_text: I, HENRY WILLIAM TUSON, of 116, Ferndale Road, Clapham, in the County of
London, Printer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to an improved tobacco pipe wherein the bowl is carried
by a foot and provided with a shank which fits into a cup formed in the said
foot and made large enough to contain a piece or wad of wool or other material
for absorbing the nicotine and moisture which collect in the said cup.
The said shank has formed in it one or more longitudinal holes which conduct
the smoke from the bowl to the cup and another passage between the cup and
the stem, so that the smoke in passing from the bowl to the stem has to pass
through the absorbent material in the said cup.

Improvements in Pipes for Smoking Tobacco.
I, HENRY WILLIAM TUSON, formerly of 116, Ferndale Road, Clapham, in the
County of London, now of 32, Shelgate Road, Clapham aforesaid, Printer, 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 follow-
ing statement: —
My invention relates to an improved tobacco pipe wherein the bowl is carried
by a foot and provided with a shank which fits into a cup formed in the said
foot and made large enough to contain a piece or wad of wool or other material
for absorbing the nicotine and moisture which collect in the said cup.
To enable my invention to be fully understood I will describe the same by
reference to the accompanying drawing, in which :-
Figure 1 is a longitudinal section, partly in elevation, of a pipe constructed
according to my invention; and
Figure 2 is a similar view illustrating a modification.
a is the bowl of the pipe and the shank of the said bowl having a chamber c
therein communicating, through the passage d, with the bottom of the bowl;
e is the foot and fis-the cup formed therein for receiving the shank b of the
bowl; g indicates the piece or wad of wool, blotting or other paper or other
material for absorbing the nicotine and moisture; is the stem of the pipe

page_text: which, in the example shewn in Figure 1, is made integral with the foot e and
is formed with an upwardly inclined passage i forming communication between
the bore of the stem h and the chamber c through the medium of a lateral
passage in the shank b, whilst in the example illustrated in Figure 2 the
stem is made separate from the foot e and fits into the said lateral passage k.
In both arrangements, however, it will be observed that the aperture in the
stem h, through which the smoke enters the bore thereof, is set back a consider-
able distance from the chamber c so as to be remote from the passage d through
which the nicotine passes from the burning tobacco in the bowl a to the absorbent
material g in the foot e. By this means it is practically impossible for the
nicotine to enter the stem of the pipe and so pass into the mouth of the
smoker.
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 pipe for smoking tobacco in which the bowl is carried by a foot and
provided with a shank which fits into a cup formed in the said foot and designed
to contain an absorbent material, the aperture at the end of the stem being set
at a considerable distance from the passage through which the nicotine passes
from the bowl to the cup, substantially, as, and for the purpose, herein before
described and as illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
2. The improved pipes for smoking tobacco, herein before described and illus-
trated in the accompanying drawing.
