I, ROWLAND BROTHERHOOD, of Cambria House, Chepstow, in the County of
Monmouth, Civil Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows
+
My invention relates to an improved method of furnishing the bowls of tobacco and
other pipes, and the mouth pieces of cigarette and cigar holders; and the objects of
it are:-
To prevent the material, of which the bowls or holders are made, from burning.
To prevent the passage of nicotine into the stem, as well as of saliva to the tobacco,
or cigar, as the case may be.
To prevent ash or fragments of tobacco falling or being drawn into the stem.
To facilitate the act of smoking to the extent of making both pipes and holders,
constructed according to my invention, draw more easily than do those made in the
ordinary way; and, consequently,
To make them smoke more coolly, as well as more mildly ; and
To provide a cavity in which a wad of absorbent material, such as cotton wool, can
be inserted if it be desired to filter, (or even flavour) the smoke as it is drawn from
the tobacco.

In applying my invention to a tobacco-pipe, I provide two or more cups of suitable
material. One of these is of a size adapted to fit centrally within the pipe bowl,
leaving a narrow space between it and the inner face of the bowl. A ring of perfora-
tions is formed in this cup a little below its top edge. This cup is adapted to receive
a second cup of a smaller cross section. A suitable device is provided by means of
which the two cups can be joined air-tight near their top edges; the bottom of the
second or inner cup stopping an appreciable distance short of the bottom of the first
mentioned or outer cup. The bottom of the said inner cup is perforated, and its top
edge-terminates in a flange or moulding, or other convenient device, in virtue of which
it can be easily made to fit, practically air-tight, for the purpose of this invention, upon
D

page_text: or against the top of the bowl. The cups and the bowl will then have one axis common
to them. Although I have only mentioned two cups, more than that number can be used,
or in place of extra cups, flanges forming cups can be added, thus causing the smoke to
travel a greater distance before entering the stem.
The operation of my invention is as follows: The tobacco is filled into the inner cup
in the ordinary way, and any ash or fragments of tobacco that escape pass through the
perforated bottom of the second or inside tobacco cup, and remain there, the smoke
passing upwards through the annular space between the cups through the ring of
perforations in the outer cup, and down between it and the bowl to the stem.
A suitable cavity may be provided under the outer. cup to receive a wad of cotton
wool or similar material.
In adapting my invention to those cigar or cigarette holders the sockets of which
will, as a consequence of the pattern of the holder, be held in a horizontal position, I
provide a flange or flanges inside the outer cup projecting from the side thereof in a
line between the perforated end of the inner cup and the line of junction between the
cups, for the purpose of preventing the flow past it of the deposited nicotine towards.
the ring of perforations in the said outer cup.

page_text: Improvements in Tobacco and other Pipes, Cigar, and Cigarette
Holders.
I, ROWLAND BROTHERHOOD, of Cambria House, Chepstow, in the County of
Monmouth, Civil Engineer, 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 an improved method of furnishing the bowls of tobacco and
other pipes, and the mouth-pieces of cigarette and cigar holders; and the objects of
it are:-
To prevent the material, of which the bowls are made from burning.
To prevent the passage of nicotine into the stem, as well as of saliva to the tobacco
or cigar, as the case may be.
"
.
To prevent ash or fragments of tobacco falling; or being drawn, into the stem.
To facilitate the act of smoking to the extent of making both pipes and holders
constructed according to my invention, draw more easily than do those made in the
ordinary way and consequently
To make them smoke more coolly as well as more mildly; and
To provide a cavity in, which a wad of absorbent material such as cotton wool can
be inserted if it be desired to filter (or even flavour) the smoke as it is drawn from the
tobacco.
In applying my invention to a tobacco-pipe, I provide two or more cups of suitable
material. One of these is of a size adapted to fit centrally within the pipe-bowl, leaving
a narrow space between it and the inner face of the bowl. A ring of perforations is
formed in this cup a little below its top edge. This cup is adapted to receive a second
cup of a smaller cross section. A suitable device is provided by means of which the
two cups can be joined air-tight near their top edges; the bottom of the second or
inner cup stopping an appreciable distance short of the bottom of the first mentioned,
or outer, cup. The bottom of the said inner cup is perforated, and its top edge
terminates in a flange, or moulding, or other convenient device, in virtue of which.it
can be easily made to fit practically air-tight for the purpose of this invention, upon,
or against the top of the bowl. The cups and the bowl will then have one axis common
to them. Although I have only mentioned two cups, more than that number can be
used, or, in place of extra cups, flanges forming cups can be added, thus causing the
smoke to travel a greater distance before entering the stem.
The operation of my invention is as follows. The tobacco is filled into the inner
cup in the ordinary way; and any ash or fragments of tobacco that escape, pass
through the perforated bottom of the second; or inside, tobacco cup, and remain there;
the smoke passing upwards through the annular space between the cups through.the
ring of perforations in the outer cup and down between it and the bowl to the stem.
A suitable cavity may be provided under the outer cup 10 receive a wad of cotton
wool or similar material.
In adapting my invention to those cigar or cigarette holders, the sockets of which
will, as a consequence of the pattern of the holder, be held in a horizontal position, I
provide a flange or flanges inside the outer cup projecting from the side thereof in
a line between the perforated end of the inner cup and the line of junction
between the cups, for the purpose of preventing the flow past it of the deposited
nicotine towards the ring of perforations in the said outer cup.

Referring to Figs. 1 to 10,
A is the pipe stem; and B, the bowl, C is the outer; and D, the inner cup. The
two cups are provided with a ring c, by which they can be fitted air-tight to each other,
and at the same time held apart for the proper distance. The inner cup is furnished
with a ring d which is adapted to fit air-tight upon its seat e formed on the edge of
the bowl B:
The bottom of the inner cup has a series of perforations formed in it; and a
second series 9 is formed in the side of the outer cup near the ring c.
Referring to Figure 11, the top of the pipe-bowl is made to receive a ring h,
adapted to hold the cup C upon its seat, and to receive the cup D, thereby dispensing
with the ring c, and, if desired, with the ring d also.

page_text: Referring to Figs. 12, 13, and 14, the pipe-bowl and cups are of the construction
illustrated in Fig. 11 and described therewith. The bore of the stem A is divided in
the middle, and enlarged to receive a pair of tubes i, i blind at their adjacent ends, and
to produce an annular space around them.
The stem A is detachable from the bowl, and the mouth piece a is detachable from
the stem. The tubes are joined air-tight to the bowl and mouth-pioce respectively, and
into each the bore is continued by tubes b, b, which stop short of the blind ends of the
tubes i, i. Only one pair of tubes i, b, can be used, if desired.
The mouth pieces j,j, illustrated in Figs. 13 and 14, are intended to be connected
to the stem A after the bowl B has been detached.
Referring to Fig. 15, the cups C and D are adapted to be held upon a common seat
by a ring. A vertical tube 6' depends from the bottom of the outer cup C, and delivers
into a hookah-bowl k. An annular space is provided between the tube 6¹ and the
bowl-bottom to which the bowl & is attached..
Referring to Figs. 16, 17, 18 and 19, the inner cup D is provided with a broad
flange, from which depends an annulus 1, while a second annulus, l, is connected
airtight to the bottom of the outer cup C. The two cups, annuli, and bowl, are at a
proper distance from each other, respectively; a ring a being provided if necessary.
Referring to Figs. 20, 21, 22 and 23, the ring h¹ is shaped to receive the retorted
flange d of the inner cup. The hookah-bowl communicates with the stem through a
double passage b³.
Referring to Figs. 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, and 29, the holder is conveniently made in
two detachable parts m. m². The combined inner cup and tube D' receives the outer
cup C air-tight upon it. A ring c¹ is conveniently interposed.
It is to be understood that any of the above devices illustrated as attached to a pipe
may be fitted to a cigar or cigarette holder.
I do not limit myself to any material.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is,
1. The combination of bowl and cups as herein before set forth with reference to
Figs. 1 to 10.
2. The combination of bowl, cups, and one or a pair of bowls and one or two pairs
of inner tubes, as herein before set forth with reference to Figs. 12 and 15.
3. The combination of bowl, cups, and hookah-bowl, as hereinbefore described with
reference to Fig. 15.
4. The combination of bowl or holder, cups, hook-bowl, and inner tubes, as herein-
before set forth with reference to Fig. 15.
