Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
I CHARLES VALLOT of "Woodlands" Southend Road Catford Bridge in the County
of Kent Merchant do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in tobacco pipes and such like instruments
for smoking tobacco and my invention consists of an improved method and means of
smoking tobacco in such pipes.
For this purpose I arrange and construct a tobacco pipe as follows:-
The tube or passage from the mouthpiece is carried round to the top or outer end
of the bowl of the pipe which outer end is closed by a lid or suitable cover or covers
which can be readily opened and closed when emptying or filling the pipe or for
cleaning purposes etcetera.
The bottom of the bowl is provided with a suitable inlet hole or passage through
which the tobacco is lighted at the bottom and which also serves to admit the air
supply or draught to support combustion.
The tobacco in the bowl being thus lighted at the bottom is then burnt upwards-
instead of downwards as heretofore-by the suction or drawing of the smoker and
thereby obtaining several advantages such as coolness smallness of amount of nicotine
complete combustion and consequent economy of tobacco (as all the tobacco can be
smoked or more added to the top thereof) and having other advantages which need
not here be mentioned..
An inner lid or cover to the bowl of the pipe may also be provided if desired having
a central opening or passage through which the smoke is drawn so as to ensure burning
the tobacco evenly.
A cap or plug or the like may or may not be provided at any convenient point or
points to gain admission to the vertical or horizontal passages either for convenience
of construction or for cleaning purposes when in use as desired.
The aforesaid air inlet hole through which also the tobacco is lighted may be formed
and constructed in such manner that the size thereof can be varied to suit the draught
required and also so that the ashes can be removed through same and-more tobacco
being placed on top-the pipe can thus be kept alight continuously if desired.

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 :-
1. A pipe for smoking tobacco having a passage leading to the top of the bowl a
cover or lid fitting tightly over the top of said bowl and a lighting port in the bottom
part of said bowl so that the tobacco is lit at the bottom and smoked upwards instead
of downwards.
2. I claim a pipe for smoking tobacco having a lighting port or opening in the
lower part of the bowl for lighting the tobacco at the bottom thereof instead of at
the top.
3. In a pipe for smoking tobacco I claim the combination of a lid or cover fitting
closely on the top of the bowl with a lighting port arranged in the lower part of the
bowl and a passage leading from the upper part of the bowl to the outlet in the stem
of the pipe substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore set forth.
4. I claim the improved pipe arranged constructed and acting substantially in the
manner and for the purposes hereinbefore described and illustrated in the drawings
