Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
1, ALBANY WASHINGTON CARR of 15, Avenue Road, Brentford in the
County of Middlesex, Clerk, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
<
"
ΟΥ
This invention relates to certain improvements in so called "tobacco pipes
receptacles wherein the burning of tobacco is effected and the combustion thereof
is stimulated by inhalation or exhalation of air, drawn in or forced out by the
smoker," through the tobacco contained in the receptacle, by means of a tube in
connection with such receptacle, at the same time that a supply of fresh tobacco
will be rendered to the receptacle, under the incandescent or burning stratum of
tobacco, from a magazine in connection with the receptacle, during the time that
the burning or "smoking" of the tobacco is continued so as to avoid the continual
relighting of the pipe; and means are furnished for so feeding the fresh supply and
preventing the lower portion of the charge from becoming moistened by the
nicotine and other products consequent upon such combustion.
In carrying this invention into effect the bowl of the pipe is made with an upper
and a lower section intermediately whereof is an internal hollow ring portion into
which will lead the bore of the pipe stem, or there will be inserted the stem itself.
The upper portion of the bowl will be fluted internally and vertically either in
the material of the bowl itself or by means of a lining fitting into the bowl so as
when the fresh supply is pressed upward the charge of tobacco will not "block"
in the bowl and the draught will be distributed and maintained. This fluted
portion will taper upward.
The lower section of the bowl below the ring portion and stem will be a
receptacle for fresh tobacco supply and be fitted with a removable expanding or
screw plug, or such plug will be fitted with a rising and falling push piece, and a
spring be used with the same so as to provide for the insertion and feeding of the
supply of fresh tobacco. The plug or push piece will have provided upon the
upper face thereof towards the tobacco several pins which will, from time to time,
be forced into the charge and further provide for the maintenance of the requisite
draught.
According to a modification of this, there will be provided in connection with
the said lower section of the bowl an enlarged portion extending (conveniently)
outward from the side of the lower section of the bowl towards the stem and below
the same, a magazine receptacle having a closing plug (expanding screw threaded
or otherwise) and a push piece with or without a spring, so forming a magazine
for fresh tobacco and means for feeding same.
The pipe bowl may at its upper portion be fitted with substantially, the ordinary"
cover perforated or not, hinged or otherwise capable of attachment and
application.

Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
1, ALBANY WASHINGTON CARR, of 15 Avenue Road, Brentford, in the County
of Middlesex, Clerk, 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 certain improvements in so called tobacco pipes or
receptacles wherein the burning of tobacco is effected and the combustion thereof
is stimulated by the inhalation of air drawn in or forced out by the smoker through
the tobacco contained in the receptacle by means of a tube in connection with such
receptacle at the same time that a supply of fresh tobacco will be rendered to the
receptacle under the incandescent or burning stratum of tobacco from a magazine
in connection with the receptacle, during the time that the burning or smoking of
the tobacco is continued, so as to avoid the continual re-lighting of the pipe and
constant re-filling of same, as the bowl holds a double quantity; means being
furnished for so feeding the fresh supply and permitting no accumulation of
nicotine or saliva to be sucked into the mouth through the stem.
In carrying my invention into effect, the bowl of the pipe is made with an upper
and a lower section intermediately whereof may be an internal hollow ring-
portion into which will lead the bore of the pipe stem or there will be inserted the
stem itself.
The lower section of the bowl below the point where the stem enters same will.
be a receptacle for fresh tobacco supply fitted with a removable screw Or
"jam" plug.
According to à modification of this, there will be provided in connection with
the said lower section of the bowl, a portion extending (conveniently) outward from
the side of the lower section of the bowl towards the stem, and below the same,
a magazine receptacle having a closing plug (screw-threaded or otherwise) and a
push piece with or without a spring so forming a magazine for fresh tobacco and
means for feeding same.
The pipe bowl may at its upper portion be fitted with substantially the ordinary
cover or partial cover perforated or not, hinged or otherwise capable of attachment
and application.
In the drawings annexed hereto,
Figure 1 is a pipe bowl made according to this invention, and
Figures 2, 3, 4 and 5, are sections of pipe bowls shewing modifications of the
construction according to Figure 1.
a and are the upper and lower sections of the bowl with the intermediate
hollow ring portion c. The stem of the pipe will be inserted in the bowl as at d,
or the bore of the stem will lead thereto as shewn in Figure 2.
The lower receptacle is closed with a "jam" or screw plug e. The means for
closing the receptacle b, as shewn in Figure 2, is by a hinged tightly fitting plug e.
The receptacle in Figure 3 is prolonged at and closed with a screw plug e, or
it might be a plain plug as in Figures 4 and 5, hinged on or simply tight fitting.
In the two said figures there are shewn two closing plugs for the combined magazine
receptacle b., and that closing the extension portion 6 is shewn fitted with a push
plate and feeding spring.
Having thus 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. In a tobacco pipe the upper and lower portions a. b. of the bowl constituting
respectively a combination chamber and a magazine with intermediate stem
opening and with or without the ring space c, as and for the purpose herein set
forth and shewn in the drawings.

page_text: 2. In a tobacco pipe as herein set forth the chamber a and magazine holder b. b¹
and plugs e.
3. In a tobacco pipe having the magazine chamber band 6 the chamber a in
combination with or without the ring channel c and stem outlet d, as and for the
purpose set forth.
