page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Charles Mare Pett Howat Triscott, of Number 5, Limes.
Grove, Lewisham, in the County of Kent, for the Invention of "IMPROVE-
MENTS IN TOBACCO PIPES."
Sealed the 25th February 1879, and dated the 10th September 1878.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Charles Mare Pett Howat
Triscott at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 10th September
1878:
CHARLES MARE PETT HOWAT TRISCOTT, of Number 5, Limes Grove, Lewisham,
in the County of Kent. IMPROVEMENTS IN TOBACCO PIPES."
"
This Invention has for its object improvements in tobacco pipes. For this purpose
I form the bowl of the pipe, and a short stem projecting from it, in two parts, each
composed of part of the bowl and part of the stem, the division between the parts
being in two planes at right angles, or approximately so, to one another, one passing
horizontally through the centre and part of the lower portion of the bowl, the other
vertically downwards, or approximately so, through the centre of the bowl from
the top until it meets the other horizontal division line. When the two parts are
placed together they are retained by a screw, band, or clip embracing the stem, and
it may be also by a clip or band around the top of the bowl.
To ensure obtaining a perfectly tight joint between the two parts of which the
bowl and stem are composed, one of the abutting surfaces of the two parts may
have a groove on each side of the bowl, and along each side of the central passage
through the stem, and on the other of the abutting surfaces corresponding projec-
tions to enter the said grooves. The grooves might, if desired, be lined with cork
or soft material, or the projections might be made of such material.
By constructing, tobacco pipes in the above manner they can be cleaned much
more readily than pipes as usually constructed, whilst at, the same time when the
parts of the pipe are together a tight joint is obtained without leakage between
them.

CHARLES MARE PETT HOWAT TRISCOTT, of Number 5, Limes Grove, Lewisham,
in the County of Kent. 'IMPROVEMENTS IN TOBACCO PIPES."
This Invention has for its object improvements in tobacco pipes. For this
purpose I form the bowl of the pipe and a stem projecting from it in two parts, each
composed of part of the bowl and part of the stem, the division between the parts
being in two planes forming an angle to one another, one passing horizontally
through the centre of the stem and part of the lower portion of the bowl, the other
at any convenient angle from the outside or top of the bowl, until it meets by a
curve or otherwise the other horizontal division line. When the two parts are
placed together they are retained by a screw, band, ring, or clip around the
stem.
If the division between the parts are made in two planes at right angles, or
approximately so, to one another, one passing horizontally through the centre of the
stem and lower portion of the bowl, the other vertically downwards, or approxi-
mately so, through the centre of the bowl from the top until it meets by a curve or
otherwise the other horizontal line, I then use a band, ring, or clip around the
top of the bowl in addition to that around the stem.
To ensure obtaining a perfectly tight joint between the two parts of which the
bowl and stem are composed, one or both of the abutting surfaces may be lined or
covered with a thin piece of cork or other suitable material, or one of the abutting
surfaces of the two parts may have a groove on each side of the bowl, and along
each side of the central passage through the stem, and on the other of the abutting
surfaces corresponding projections to enter the said grooves. The grooves might,
if desired, be lined with cork or other suitable material, or the projections might be
made of such material.
By constructing tobacco pipes in the above manner they can be cleaned more
readily than pipes as usually constructed, whilst at the same time when the parts
of the pipe are together a tight joint is obtained without leakage between them.
In order that my said Invention may be fully understood, I now proceed
more particularly to describe the same by the aid of the accompanying Sheet of
Drawings, in which the same letters in the several Figures represent the same
parts.
Fig. 1 represents a side elevation of a pipe made in accordance with one of the
modes above described; a, a, being the divided bowl; b, b, the divided stem; c, c,.c,
the line dividing the bowl and the stem into two parts; e is the screw, ring, band,
or clip for holding the two parts together.
Fig. 2 represents a plan looking into the bowl of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 represents the several parts of Fig. 1 when they are removed from each
other.
Figs. 4 & 7 represent side elevations of two pipes, wherein the divisional lines are
at right angles, or approximately so, to each other (Fig. 7 showing the vertical
division line curving into the horizontal line), in which cases the additional ring,
band, or clip around the top of the bowl is required.
Fig. 5 represents a plan looking into the bowl of Fig. 4, d, d, being the projec-
tions and grooves on the abutting parts.
Figs. 6 & 8 represent the several parts of Figs. 4 & 7 when they are removed
from each other.
Having now described and illustrated the nature of my Invention, and how
the same is to be constructed, I would have it understood that what I claim is, a

page_text: pipe divided horizontally through the stem and at an angle into the bowl, substan-
tially in the manner herein set forth.
In witness whereof, I, the said Charles Mare Pett Howat Triscott, have
hereunto set my hand and seal, this Eight day of March, in the year of our
Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy-nine.
