PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tobacco Pipes and the like.
I, EDWARD ROBERTS of 14 Glebe Street, Leicester, Journalist, do hereby.
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has reference to tobacco pipes and the like.
The object of the invention is to effect improvements in the construction of the
same so as to prevent the nicotine passing into the mouth of the smoker.
For this purpose there is connected to or formed integrally with and at the end
of the stem or mouthpiece a suitably constructed reservoir, chamber or other
intercepting receptacle.
This latter may be of vulcanite, wood or other suitable material and of such a
shape and dimensions as not to interfere with the free egress of the smoke, or to
inconveniently obstruct the bore in the stem or to cause any discomfort when placed.
in the mouth of the smoker.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tobacco Pipes and the like
I, EDWARD ROBERTS of 32 St. Alban's Road, Liecester, Journalist, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement :—
This invention has reference to tobacco pipes and the like and is designed with a
view of improving the construction of same so as to prevent the nicotine passing into.
the mouth of the smoker.
Many inventions have been introduced for this purpose but are not an unqualified
success inasmuch as they have aimed at intercepting the nicotine as it passed from.
the bowl of the pipe into the stem thereof so that while some of the nicotinous
Liquid would be prevented, by this method of construction, from passing into the
smoker's mouth, some portion would be conveyed along the stem and the mouth-
piece with the smoke which the pipe thus constructed would fail to arrest, and as is
obvious it would pass into the mouth of the smoker.
Now my invention not only provides for preventing the nicotine which collects
in the bowl of the pipe from entering the mouth but also any that may be
conveyed by and with the smoke to the extreme end of the stem or mouthpiece
of the pipe.
This result is obtained by forming integrally with or connecting to the end of
the stem or mouthpiece a suitably constructed chamber, reservoir or other inter-
cepting receptacle as hereinafter described.
The invention will be more fully understood from the following description in
reference to the accompanying drawing in which
Figure 1 is a perspective view,
Figure 2 a central longitudinal section and Figure 3 a plan of a pipe constructed.
in accordance with this invention.
Figure 4 is a cross section of the nicotine receiving chamber.
Figures 5, 6 and 7 illustrate alternative methods of attaching the chamber to
the stem or mouthniece.

page_text: Figures 8 and 9 are views showing a cap or lid fitted to the chamber and in
their open and closed positions respectively.
A is the nicotine receiving chamber at the mouth end of the stem or mouthpiece B.
This chamber is by preference formed integrally with the stem.
In the modification shewn in Figure 5 the chamber A is provided with a short
horizontal tube or sleeve. A¹ for fitting or sliding into the mouthpiece or
stem B.
Figure 6 shows the said chamber A provided with an internally threaded tube
or socket A to screw onto the end of the stem or mouthpiece B and Figure 7 is
an alternative of the last named showing the chamber A furnished with a screwed
sleeve A³ for screwing into the internally threaded end of the stem or mouth-
piece B.
When desirable the chamber A may be constructed with a cap or lid as in
Figures 8 and 9.
A convenient method of construction for this purpose may consist of a plate C
adapted to fit over the chamber A. and pivotted at C¹ to the stem or mouthpiece
side of the chamber so as to be capable of moving horizontally thereon as
shewn.
A portion of the upper front edge of the chamber is removed so as to leave an
aperture or opening between it and the lid C to allow the smoke to escape.
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 :-
In a tobacco pipe the combination with the stem or mouthpiece of an open
nicotine receiving chamber formed integrally with or attached to the mouth end
thereof, and with or without a cap or lid, substantially as described and illustrated
in the accompanying drawing.
