IMPROVEMENTS IN TOBACCO-PIPES
Year: 1885

page_text: I JOHN CARTER of 6 Dean's Court Doctors Commons in the city of London
Pipe Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN TOBACCO-PIPES to be as follows:-
i
This invention relates to certain improvements in so-called "tobacco-pipes" the
object being to condense and collect the moisture of combustion, and to prevent
the liquid of condensation flowing either to the bowl or to the mouth-piece and
this is effected by means of an internal recess in the mount of the pipe conveniently
at the point of junction of the mouth piece and the bowl stem of the pipe and into
which intermediate recess projects one from the stem part and the other from the
bowl part, two tubes which said tubes are continuations of the smoke channel
or bore.
In carrying this into practice I proceed as follows:-Given the bowl and stem
and the stem of the mouth piece:-The union piece forming the mount of the pipe
and joining the mouth-piece to the bowl is socketed at each end to receive the stem
and the two parts of the mount may be screwed together or fit with a tight fit (as
in the spigot pipe) but an annular recess.is formed in each piece of the mount and
a small tube which is a continuation of the bore of the pipe will project into the
annular recess from each piece of the mount.
In cases where the mount may be in one piece and the one piece of the pipe be
removable either by screwing or otherwise the annular recess may be formed in the
material of the pipe stem, or in the mount or both and the mount be carried upon
the other portion of the stem, but when the two parts are fitted together by
screwing or otherwise fitting by socket or spigot, the two inner tubes (continuations
of the bore) will be used and they will project into the annular recess so formed.
The annular recess may be formed in the material of the stem of the pipe itself
and be supported at the point of juncture of the stem by a sleeve piece and the
small tubes will be provided and project into the recess as before described..
In using the pipe the water of condensation and nicotine will lie in the recess
and the small inner projecting tubes will prevent the same from passing either to
the mouth or to the bowl until the said recess becomes nearly half full but the
liquid whilst or after smoking can be poured away by disconnecting the mouth
piece from the bowl portion.

Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
I, JOHN CARTER, of 6, Deans Court, Doctors Commons, in the City of London,
Pipe Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "IMPROVE-
MENTS IN TOBACCO PIPES" and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This Invention relates to certain improvements in so called " tobacco pipes" the
object being to provide special means to condense and collect the moisture of
combustion, and to prevent the liquid of condensation from flowing either to the
bowl or to the mouth-piece, and this is effected by means of internal recesses in the
mount of the pipe one of said recesses in each of the bowl, and mouth-piece parts
of the pipe at the point of junction of the mouth-piece part, and bowl stem of the
pipe, and each of these recesses has a small tube, a continuation of the smoke
channel or bore of the pipe, projecting into the free space thereof, and when the
bowl, and the mouth-piece portions of the stem of the pipe are brought together
the mount will be complete.
In order that the said invention may be particularly ascertained, I have hereunto
annexed a sheet of drawings wherein the various figures are central longitudinal
sections of a pipe stem with mounts fitted according to this invention.
Fig. 1, shows a mount in two parts provided with recess a. of the bowl stem part,
and recess b, of the mouth piece stem, c, c¹ are tube pieces fitted and projecting
respectively in the recesses a, and b. The bowl stem part, and the mouth piece
part screw together at d. The tubes c, and c³, are soldered to the metal of the
mount at the base of the recesses a, and b. The securing of the stein part as shown
is by screwed e, and nip of the outer metal at f. This fitting is very strong and
suitable for pipes of costly material.
Fig. 2, shows a modified construction of mount wherein the external band of the
mount is in one piece, and the mouth-piece is screwed directly into it at d. The
recess a. is formed in the metal of the mount, and recess b, is formed in the material
of the mouth-piece stem; the inner tube c, is fixed to the base of the metal of the
recess a. and tube c' is inserted in the bore of the mouth-piece stem itself at base
of recess b. Fig. 2º represents the pipe, stem, and mount shown in Fig. 2, in
separated condition, but the recess b, has a thimble piece or shell 61 (see Fig. 2B) of
metal inserted therein as a lining to the recess, and to said shell b' is attached the
tube. c. The attachment of the mount in this case is shown as a screwed sleeve
at f, but an efficient fastening would be effected by a nip of the metal of the sleeve
at this part.
Fig. 3 is further modification differing from Figs. 2 and 2a in showing attachment
of the mount to the stem of the pipe by a screwed plug e.
In these three figures
the mount is shown attached to the bowl stem part, but it might in some case be
desirable to attach the mount to the mouth-piece part of stem, and have the
bowl stem part provided with the recess b fitted or not with shell 61.
"
In Fig. 4 the parts of the mount consist of the recesses a. and b. formed in the
material of the pipe stem, and furnished with tubes c. c¹ fitted or not with the
shells a¹, b¹ here shown so fitted and the sleeve g. attached as may be convenient to
either the mouth-piece stem in the drawing by nip of the metal.

page_text: In the modifications shown in Figs. 5, 58, and 5B the mount is made interiorly of
the stem. In Fig. 5 the recess a. is provided with a shell a¹ and tube c. the outer
edge of which said shell a¹ is turned over at h, and is plated or may be formed of
superior metal soldered on to the metal of the shell a¹, to form an external head,
said outer edge at h, being moreover "spun or "rimed" over to nip the material
of the stem. The mouth-piece is shown made to push into the recess that is of the
"spigot" form of attachment, but it may be screwed. The recess b. is shown
formed in the material of the mouth-piece, and the tube c¹ is inserted.
,,
In Fig. 5 the shell a' with its tube c is fitted in a recess in the material of the
pipe, and the flange h. will lie between the bowl stem, and the mouth-piece which
latter is shown screwed. The edge of flange h, may be plated or have a facing
band of superior metal attached thereto. In Fig. 5B is shown a similar form of
mount to that represented in Fig. 5, but with the shell a fitted with a screwed,
plug end e. the rest of the parts being as before described.
In using the pipe the smoke will first discharge into the combined chamber of
the mount; and from thence be drawn away by the mouth-piece so preventing
water of condensation, and nicotine from passing either to the mouth, or to the
bowl. After or whilst smoking the moisture can be discharged by disconnecting
the mouth-piece from the bowl portion.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same has to be performed, I, declare that what
I claim is
"
Firstly. In the mount of a "tobacco pipe the recess a, and recess b, combined
with the tubes c, c¹, and forming together the condensation, and liquid-retaining
chamber as herein described in reference to and shown by the respective figures of
the drawings.
Secondly. In the mount of a "tobaccopipe" as herein described the combined
recess shell a¹ or b¹ and its tube c, or c¹, of a piece therewith as set forth.
