IMPROVEMENTS IN PIPES FOR SMOKING
Year: 1884

page_text: I, FRANK SAUL ROTHSCHILD, of 17 and 18 Little Britain, London, in the
County of Middlesex, Importer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention
for "IMPROVEMENTS IN PIPES FOR SMOKING" to be as follows:-
The objects of this Invention are to prevent the nicotine from entering the stem
of the pipe; to prevent the saliva or moisture from the mouth of the smoker
entering the bowl of the pipe; and to keep the smoke cool when entering the
mouth of the smoker.
The passage pierced through the stem for the smoke is continued in the form
of a tube into a reservoir for receiving the nicotine and saliva, at the further
extremity of which reservoir is fitted a metallic or other cap in any suitablo
manner. This cap can be removed for the purpose of emptying the nicotine and
saliva which collects in the reservoir.
The bowl of the pipe is provided with a short tube at the bottom, which
communicates by means of the reservoir with the projecting tube forming the
continuation of the passage of the stem of the pipe, but it is quite isolated from
the same, so that the bowl always remains dry and the smoker has the advantage
of burning the tobacco right to the bottom of the bowl, and the smoke enters the
mouth quite pure and free from acridity, containing only the natural aroma of
the tobacco.
The bowl cannot receive any moisture which may pass from the mouth of the
smoker through the stem, no matter in whatever position the pipe may be placed,
as the short tube of the bowl enters sufficiently low into the reservoir to prevent
this inconvenience.
It will be readily understood that the pipe may be made of any form, either with
à curved or straight stem, and of any suitable material,

page_text: I, FRANK SAUL ROTHSCHILD, of 17 and 18 Little Britain, London, in the
County of Middlesex, Importer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention
for "IMPROVEMENTS IN PIPES FOR SMOKING" and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly. described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
The objects of this Invention are to prevent the nicotine from entering the stem
of the pipe; to prevent the saliva or moisture from the mouth of the smoker
ontering the bowl of the pipe; and to keep the smoke cool when entering the
mouth of the smokor.
The passage pierced through the stem for the smoke is continued in the form
of a tube into a reservoir for receiving the nicotine and saliva, at the further
extremity of which reservoir is fitted a metallic or other cap in any suitable
manner. This cap can be removed for the purpose of emptying the nicotine and
saliva which collects in the reservoir.
The bowl of the pipe is provided with a short tube at the bottom, which
communicates by means of the reservoir with the projecting tube forming the
continuation of the passage of the stem of the pipe, but it is quito isolated from
the same, so that the bowl always remains dry and the smoker has the advantage
of burning the tobacco right to the bottom of the bowl, and the smoke enters the
mouth quite pure and free from acridity, containing only the natural aroma of
the tobacco.
The bowl cannot receive any moisture which may pass from the mouth of the
smoker through the stem, no matter in whatever position the pipe may be placed,
as the short tube of the bowl enters sufficiently low into the reservoir to prevent
this inconvenience.
It will be readily understood that the pipe may be made of any form, either
with a curved or straight stem, and of any suitable material.
In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 is a vertical section, and Fig. 2 a horizontal
section (looking from the under side) of my improved pipo.
The passage A for the smoke is pierced through the stem B of the pipe, and.
continued in the form of a tube A¹ into a reservoir C, for receiving the nicotine
and saliva, the further oxtremity of such reservoir being fitted with a metallic or
other cap D, in any suitable manner.
The bowl E of the pipe is provided with a short tube F at the bottom, which
also enters the reservoir C, but is quite isolated from the tube A¹ forming the
continuation of the passage A in the stem.
The reservoir C and tube A¹ are formed in the stem of the pipe by boring or
drilling from the outer extremity of such stem, or they may bo moulded or other-
wise formed in the same, the open end of the reservoir being afterward closed by
the cap D, as above described.
The short tube F is inserted in the bottom of the bowl E after the reservoir C
and tube A¹ have been formed in the stem.
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. In my improved pipe providing the stem with a reservoir to receive the
nicotine, and into which projects a tube forming a continuation of the passage for
the smoke to the mouthpiece, both the tube and reservoir being formed in ono

page_text: piece with the stem, and the outer end of the reservoir being closed by a cap, all
substantially as horein described and shown.
2. In the improved pipe the stem of which is constructed as described in the
preceding claim, providing the bowl of such pipe with a short tube projecting
downwards into the reservoir in the stem, in such a position as to be isolated
from the tube forming the continuation of the passage for the smoke to the
mouthpiece of the pipe, all substantially as described and shown.
