IMPROVEMENTS IN PIPES FOR SMOKING TOBACCO
Year: 1877

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Henry Lesser Friedlander, of Torrington Square, in the
County of Middlesex, Commission Agent, for the Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS
IN PIPES FOR SMOKING TOBACCO."
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Henry Lesser Friedlander
at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 6th March 1877.
HENRY LESSER FRIEDLANDER, of Torrington Square, in the County of Middlesex,
Cominission Agent.
"IMPROVEMENTS IN PIPES FOR SMOKING TOBACCO."
The object of this Invention is improvements in pipes for smoking tobacco,
whereby oil, nicotine, or moisture are prevented from entering the mouth of the
smoker, at the same time that no moisture from the mouth can pass into the bowl
of the pipe, thereby effecting a dry combustion of the tobacco.
To carry out my improvements the stem of the pipe is drilled as usual, except
that the hole or canal is not carried into the pipe bowl; from the top of the bowl
of the pipe, above the stem, I drill a vertical hole opening into the hole in the stem,
and at a short distance from the top of the vertical hole I drill two other holes, but
at an angle, such inclined holes opening into the bottom of the bowl of the pipe.
The top of the said vertical bole may be closed by a stopper, or it may be closed
permanently. The opening in the stem of the pipe, where the mouth-piece is
fitted, is enlarged at the lower part, and forms a reservoir for the moisture from the
mouth.
By this construction of pipe it will be seen that the smoke before reaching the
mouth of the smoker must first pass up through one of the said inclined holes and
then down the vertical hole, and thence through the stem to the mouth of the
smoker.

HENRY LESSER FRIEDLANDER, of Torrington Square, in the County of Middlesex,
Commission Agent. "IMPROVEMENTS IN PIPES FOR SMOKING TOBACCO."
The object of this Invention is improvements in pipes for smoking tobacco,
whereby oil, nicotine, or moisture are prevented from entering the mouth of the
smoker, at the same time that no moisture from the mouth can pass into the bowl
of the pipe, thereby effecting a dry combustion of the tobacco.
To carry out my improvements the stem of the pipe is drilled as usual, except
that the hole or canal is not carried into the pipe bowl; from the top of the bowl
of the pipe, above the stem, I drill a vertical hole opening into the hole in the stem,
and at a short distance from the top of the vertical hole I drill two other holes, but
at an angle, such inclined holes opening into the bottom of the bowl of the pipe.
The top of the said vertical hole may be closed by a stopper, or it may be closed
permanently. The opening in the stem of the pipe, where the mouth-piece is
fitted, is enlarged at the lower part, and forms a reservoir for the moisture from the
mouth. The bowl of the pipe may either be lined or not.
But to make my Invention better understood I will proceed to describe the
same by reference to the accompanying Drawing, which represents a sectional
perspective view of a pipe for smoking tobacco constructed according to my
improvements.
a is the stem of the pipe; b, the hole or canal drilled in the same, but not
entering the bowl c of the pipe; d is the vertical hole opening into the hole or
canal b. One of the inclined holes is shewn in dotted lines passing from near the
top part of the vertical hole d, and opening into the lower part of the bowl of the
pipe, which is cut away for this purpose, as shewn at h; e is the stopper for closing
the vertical hole d (or it may be closed permanently); f shews the reservoir for
collecting the moisture from the mouth of the smoker; g mouth-piece of the pipe.
By this construction of pipe it will be seen that the smoke before reaching the
mouth of the smoker must first pass up through one of the said inclined holes
and then down the vertical hole d, and thence through the stem to the mouth of the
smoker.
Having thus described my said Invention, and the best means with which I am
acquainted for carrying the same into effect, I wish it to be understood that I do
not confine myself to the precise details herein laid down and shewn in the Drawing,
as the same may be varied without departing from the peculiar character of the
Invention; but what I do claim is, the improvements in pipes for smoking tobacco,
substantially as herein-before described and represented in the accompanying
Drawing.
In witness whereof, I, the said Henry Lesser Friedlander, have hereto set my
hand and seal, this Fourth day of September, in the year of our Lord One
thousand eight hundred and seventy-seven
Witness,
G. F. REDFERN;
Patent Agent,
