Improvements in Pipes for Smoking Tobacco
Year: 1897

page_text: I, SHEFTLL RUBIN, of 112, Lower Clanbrassil Street, Dublin, Ireland, Furniture
Dealer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to pipes for smoking tobacco and to that class of pipes in
which a receptacle is provided for receiving the moisture which always accumulates
in a tobacco pipe, the object of my invention being to provide improved means
for preventing the smoke in passing from the bowl of the pipe to the mouth from
passing through this chamber.
In a pipe constructed according to my invention the nicotine chamber is formed
beneath the bowl in line with the stem and the mouthpiece has an extension which
projects with the said nicotine chamber. The passage between the bowl and the
mouthpiece extend to a hole formed in the extension of the mouthpiece at some
distance from the end so that the smoke can enter the mouthpiece without enter-
ing the nicotine chamber.
I sometimes form around the extension of the mouthpiece a spiral passage
around which the smoke in its passage from the bowl to the mouthpiece will pass
before entering the said mouthpiece.
With the construction hereinbefore described the contents of the nicotine
chamber cannot if the pipe is reversed enter the bowl of the pipe.
Improvements in Pipes for Smoking Tobacco,
I, SHEFTEL RUBIN, of 112, Lower Clanbrassil Street, Dublin, Ireland, Furniture
Dealer, 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:―.
My invention relates to pipes for smoking tobacco and to that class of pipe in
which a receptacle is provided beneath the bowl for receiving the moisture which
always accumulates in a tobacco pipe, the object of my invention being to provide
means for preventing the smoke in passing from the bowl of the pipe to the mouth
from passing through this chamber, and thereby obviating the liability of the
CD 077

page_text: contents of the said chamber being drawn into the smoker's mouth, or of a
unpleasant flavour being imparted to the smoke by coming into contact with th
said contents.
In a pipe constructed according to my invention the nicotine chamber is forme
beneath the bowl in line with the stem and the mouthpiece has an extension whic
projects into the said nicotine chamber. The passage or bore through the mouth
piece extends through the extension into the nicotine chamber, a branch passag
being formed in the said extension at some distance from the end so that the
smoke can enter the mouthpiece without passing through the nicotine chamber
To enable my invention to be fully understood I will describe the same by
reference to the accompanying drawing, in which:-
―:
Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of a tobacco pipe constructed according to my
invention:
Figure 2 is a sectional view of the bowl of the pipe detached; and,
Figure 3 is a sectional elevation of the mouthpiece detached:
Figure 4 is an elevation of a mouthpiece illustrating a modification:
Figure 5 is a sectional elevation of a mouthpiece illustrating another modifica
tion; and,
Figure 6 is a view similar to Figure 1 illustrating still another modification.
a is the chamber or reservoir formed beneath the bowl 6 of the pipe for receiv
ing the moisture, and c is the extension of the mouthpiece & which extension pro-
jects into the said receptacle or chamber a.
e is the bore or passage of the mouthpiece and extending through the exten-
sion c, and f is the branch passage through which the smoke passing from the
bowl through the passage fl enters the bore e, the said passage f opening into a
groove g formed around the extension in order that the draught shall be main-
tained even should the passage f not be in alignment with the corresponding
passage f in the bowl.
The extension e has upon it a flange or collar h which when the mouthpiece is
in position in the pipe bears against a ledge i to form a joint between the exten-
sion and the chamber a so that the only passage into the said chamber a is
through the bore e.
With a pipe constructed as hereinbefore described it will be obvious that any
moisture which enters the bore of the mouthpiece either from the bowl or from
the smoker's mouth and which condenses in the bore e will gravitate down the
said bore into the chamber a, and that owing to the fact that the draught does
not pass through the said chamber there will be no liability of the smoker drawing
the moisture from the said chamber into his mouth.
I sometimes modify the construction herein before described by forming between
the channel g and the passage f a spiral groove j, as shewn in Figure 4, through
which the smoke will pass before entering the bore in the mouthpiece. Also
instead of forming the passage f so that it practically forms a continuation of the
passage f¹ in the bowl as shewn in Figure 1 it can be arranged at an angle to the
said passage f¹ as shewn in Figure 5.
In some cases I form the mouthpiece provided with the extension as herein-
before described with an additional chamber such as that shewn at k in Figure 6,
the mouthpiece in this case being formed in two parts screwed one into the other
with the chamber k between them. With this arrangement it will be understood
that should the chamber a become so full of liquid that if the pipe is reversed the
said liquid should flow down the bore it will be arrested in the chamber k and not
allowed to enter the smoker's mouth.
In addition to the advantages before indicated my invention possesses the
further advantages that there is less accumulation upon the walls of the nicotine
chamber than is the case in pipes wherein the smoke and consequently also the
heat passes through the said chamber, and that the contents of the nicotine chamber
cannot enter the bowl and thereby injure the latter and also the tobacco therein.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
1. In a pipe for smoking tobacco wherein the bowl has a chamber beneath it
for receiving the condensed moisture, a mouthpiece having an extension which
projects into the said chamber and a passage through which the smoke from the
bowl passes into the mouthpiece without entering the said chamber, substantially
as described.
2. A pipe for smoking tobacco of the kind referred to in the preceding claiming
clause having a spiral passage such as ; formed around the mouthpiece, substan-
tially as described.
3. The modification of my invention wherein a secondary chamber, such as k,
is formed in the mouthpiece, substantially as described.
4. The manufacture and use of pipes for smoking tobacco, substantially as herein-
before described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
