Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
I, WILLIAM HENRY SAYERS, of 7, Caves Road, St. Leonards-on-Sea, West
Marina, Joiner, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in what
manner the same is to be performed and to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to improvements in tobacco pipes and has for its object to
prevent the back flow of nicotined saliva to the mouth and the entrance of saliva
to the smoke passage in bowl-stem, and also the prevention of the entrance of
tobacco and tobacco asb, or oil into the smoke, passage of the bowl-stem. For
this purpose I form the bowl-stem with a cup or chamber underneath a false
bottom of the bowl which is perforated for the passage of smoke therethrough and
prolong the bore or smoke passage of the stem, by means of a short tube passing
up through the said cup, to a short distance below the bottom of the bowl.
I also make the bowl of a separate piece to the bowl-stem in order that it
may be disconnected for the purpose of removing the refuse from the cup when
necessary.
The other end of the bowl-stem is fitted into one end of the reservoir or chamber,
made of glass, aluminium, or other suitable material, into the opposite end of which
is fitted the inner end of the mouth piece.
The bore or smoke passage of the bowl-stem and mouth-piece is prolonged by
the means of short tubes through the reservoir leaving a short distance between
the end of the said tubes between which I fix a small shield or deflector, preferably
made of nickel silver or aluminium.
Referring to the accompanying sheet of drawings
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section of my improved pipe,
Fig. 2 is a sectional plan of the bowl on the line X, X of Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 is a
cross section on the line y, y of Fig. 1.
The bowl a is formed with a false bottom a¹ provided with perforations a³
constituting draught holes or smoke passages. The bowl-stem b is made separate
from the bowl and is formed with the cup or recess 6' underneath the false
bottom a¹ of the bowl. The bore or smoke passage is continued up through the
cup 6 by means of the short tube c to a short distance of the false bottom a¹, d is
the reservoir for holding the nicotine and saliva from the smoke passages into one
end of which is fitted the bowl stem b, the other end being similarly fitted with the
mouth piece e. f is the small shield or deflector fixed in the end of the bowl-stem
and extending downwards, between the short tubes c', c² forming prolongations of
the smoke passage through the reservoir. The said shield deflects the smoke and
causes it to deposit the nicotine and saliva within the reservoir and the latter is
easily removeable for the purpose of cleaning it out.
The inner ends of the bowl-stem and mouthpiece fitting into the necks of the
reservoir are made slightly tapering to prevent jamming of the same, through
swelling or other causes and to permit of their ready removal for cleaning
purposes.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, I declare that what I claim is,-

page_text: which is a cup formed in a separate bowl-stem and provided with a projecting
smoke passage the said stem being fitted with a reservoir likewise fitted with a
removeable mouth piece and provided with projecting smoke passages and a shield
or a deflector substantially as described and for the purposes specified.
(2.) In tobacco pipes the combination of the bowl a, false bottom a¹ provided
with perforations a², bowl-stem b, cup 6, short tube c, reservoir d, tubes c¹, c³,
mouth piece e, and shield or deflector f, substantially as described and for the
purposes specified.
(3.) The improved tobacco pipe substantially as described and shown in the
accompanying sheet of drawings.
