Improvements in Pipes for Smokers.
I, ORMONDE JOHN REDHEAD DELVE, of 19, Stansfield Road, Stockwell Road,
Brixton, in the County of Surrey, Law Stationer, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in pipes for smokers, and. the object is
to provide means for supplying the bowl with tobacco while the pipe is alight.
In carrying my invention into effect, I proceed in or in about the following
manner. The bottom of the bowl is made to screw, or otherwise take, off, the stem
entering above the removable part. By taking off the bottom of the bowl, fresh
tobacco can be put in without the necessity of knocking out the remainder and
lighted part of the previous charge. To prevent the tobacco already in the bowl
from being forced out by that being put in, the top of the bowl may be inwardly
overlipped, or provided with a hinged or other lid or cover, or with some equivalent
arrangement.

My invention relates to improvements in pipes for smokers and the object is
to provide means for supplying the bowl with tobacco while the pipe is alight. In
carrying my invention into effect I proceed in or in about the following manner,
making reference to the accompanying drawing which is a longitudinal section.
The bottom a of the bowl b is made to screw or otherwise take off or open, the
stem c entering the bowl above the openable or removable part a. By taking off
the bottom a fresh tobacco can be put in without the necessity of knocking out
the remaining and lighted part of the previous charge. To prevent the tobacco
already in the bowl from being forced out by that being put in, the top of the bowl
may be inwardly overlipped as at d or provided with a hinged or other lid or cover e
or with some equivalent arrangements. The screw-off part a may be replaced
by a hinged lid, or other cover or equivalent.

page_text: The invention is applicable to pipes of other than the shape shown in the
drawings and the parts may be considerably varied without departing from the
essential features of the whole.
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. Tobacco pipes provided with an opening at the bottom of the bowl through
which opening tobacco may be, supplied to the pipe, the said opening having an
attached or detachable cover, and the top of the bowl having an inturned rim
provided or not with a hinged or other lid cover or equivalent the whole sub-
stantially as described in the above specification and exemplified in the accompany-
ing drawings.
2. In pipes for the use of smokers the provision of means whereby tobacco can
be supplied through an opening at the bottom of the bowl without interfering
with the remaining portion of the immediately preceding charge, the whole pro-
vided for and operating substantially as described in the above specification and
exemplified in the accompanying drawings.
Dated this 29th day of June 1898.
