adjoins the bowl; around this sleeve fits air-tightly the above mentioned removable
mouthpiece through which the smoke is drawn by the smoker.
The pipe and the stem may be made of briar-wood or any other suitable material

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
I, JEAN OVIDE VINCENT-PÉCHOUX, of Saint Claude, in the Republic of France,
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 following
statement:
This invention relates to improvements in tobacco pipes which may be made of any
desired form or size and of any suitable material.
This improved tobacco pipe comprises
1). A removable tube fitting air-tightly in a metallic sleeve fixed to the part of the stem
which adjoins the bowl of the pipe and which by being removable permits of the pipe
taking up a minimum of room when placed in the pocket.
2). A reservoir for collecting the nicotine provided in the stem of the pipe under
the bowl.
3). A cleaning pin or rod with a swelling or shoulder allowing of the free passage
of the smoke and inserted in the above mentioned reservoir which can thereby be
thoroughly cleaned.
4). A metallic sleeve fixed air-tightly on that part of the stem of the pipe which
adjoins the bowl; around this sleeve fits air-tightly the above mentioned reinovable
tube through which the smoke is drawn by the smoker.
In the accompanying drawing
Figs. 1 and 2 are respectively, a section and a side elevation of a pocket pipe of
my invention by reference to which my invention will be readily understood.

page_text: This pipe comprises a bowl a integral with a hollow stem d. The wide hollow
space b within this stem is adapted to receive the tobacco-juice or nicotine. This
space is connected with the bowl a by one or more openings c. This nicotine
reservoir bis open at the end of the stem d.and is there provided with an internal screw
thread, In the hollow space b is inserted a pin or rod partly screw-threaded as
shown at and terminating externally in a head k. The screw threaded portion
thereof is made to fit the screw-thread formed in the end of the stem d. The rod
occupies the centre of the hollow space and is provided with a swelling or
shoulder m and a tip or point whereby the hole or holes c may be cleaned after the
cleaner has been unscrewed for the purpose of cleaning the bowl a; while the
swelling or shoulder m enables the juice and impurities collected in the cavity b to be
scraped or drawn outwardly by simply drawing rod in.that direction.
In the top wall of stem d near its screw-threaded end, a screw-threaded opening is
provided for the reception of a metal sleeve partly screw-threaded externally so as
to fit the said opening. This sleeve is of conical section and adapted to receive the
end of the removable tube n which may be brought to the position n' when it is
desired to place the pipe in the pocket and to have it occupy as little room as
possible.
The end of the stem d may be conveniently ornamented say by means of an engraved
metal ring or mount g or otherwise.
The sleeve may also be screw-threaded internally in which case the removable pipe
would have to be screwed into it instead of being simply inserted, and held in place
by friction; while at the same time it would still be capable of being moved to the
position n figure 2 when required.
.
Whatever in fact may he the mode of connecting the sleeve and the said remov-
able tube n the essential condition is that it should be adapted to move or turn about
the axis of sleeve h so as to be able to take up a position in which it will occupy the
minimum of space.
This removable tube may also be provided with a mouth piece of horn, hard rubber,
amber or any other suitable material.
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. An improved pocket pipe characterized by the arrangement of a short stem
integral with the bowl of the pipe.the internal hollow space of which forms a chamber
for the nicotine to collect in, in combination with a sleeve of conical or cylindrical
shape provided with an internal screw-thread adapted to receive a removable tube
capable of turning about the axis of the said sleeve and when out of use of being
moved to a position above the bowl of the pipe substantially as described and
illustrated in the drawings.
2. The arrangement in a pocket pipe of a movable tube capable of being placed
above the bowl of the pipe when out of use substantially as described and illustrated
in the accompanying drawings.
