PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
We HARRY GAMWELL and CHARLES GAMWELL both of 15 Fraser Street,
Liverpool, in the County of Lancaster, Experimental Engineers, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object is to provide a sweet smoking durable pipe having the appearance
of a briar or the like.
A pipe under my invention is made of porous material encased as regards the
head and part of the stem by a pipe shaped shell of briar or other suitable material
divided longitudinally. A. hollow mouthpiece is pushed over and encloses the
remainder of the stem. The pieces of the divided case are locked together by a
ferrule on the mouthpiece, and by a ring or washer round the head, or spring or
other catches may be used to unite the said parts. When the porous material is
more or less saturated or becomes foul the case is opened and a fresh pipe is
inserted.

We HARRY GAMWELL, and CHARLES GAMWELL both of 15 Fraser Street,
Liverpool, in the County of Lancaster, Experimental Engineers, 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:-
The object is to provide a sweet smoking durable pipe having the appearance of
a briar or the like.
A pipe under our invention is made of porous material encased as regards the
head and part of the stem by a pipe shaped shell of briar or other suitable material
divided longitudinally. A hollow mouth piece is pushed over and encloses the
remainder of the stem. The pieces of the divided case are locked together by a
ferrule on the mouth piece, and by a ring or washer round the head.
Or spring
or other catches may be used to unite the said parts. When the porous material
is more or less saturated or becomes foul the case is opened and a fresh pipe is
inserted.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is a side view, Fig. 2 a longitudinal section, and Fig. 3 an end view of
one modification of a pipe constructed according to our invention.
a is a pipe formed of porous material such as clay. 66' is a case or shell of briar
wood or other desired material divided longitudinally down the bowl and stem and
enclosing the bowl or head and part of the stem of the pipe a. c is a ring or cap
for holding together the bowl portions of the two halves of the case or shell 6 b¹,

e is a hollow mouthpiece extending from the case 6 6¹ to or near to the end of the
stem a' of the pipe a and enclosing the portion of the stem of the pipe a not enclosed
by the case bb. The mouth piece is preferably attached to the ferrule d so that
such mouthpiece and ferrule may be removed together. f is a ring of india rubber
or other suitable material to prevent the entrance of air at the joint of the
mouthpiece e, and case b 6', g is a pin to hold the parts in position whilst being
secured together.
Fig. 4 is a side view of another modification of pipe under our invention.
a is the pipe shewn in dotted lines, bb' is the case or shell divided longitudinally
down the bowl, the two parts being held together by a hinge h and spring or other
catch i. The stem a' of the pipe a is inserted end wise into the part 6 of the case,
the part 6 being then closed over the bowl and secured by the catch i. Instead of
being hinged the part 6' of the case may be made so as to slide on the part b. The
hollow mouthpiece e terminating at or nearly at the end of the stem of the pipe a
may be formed in one piece with the stem of the case 6 or it may be separate and
secured to the case 6 by a ferrule as described under Figs. 1 and 2.
It will be obvious that various modifications may be made under our invention
the essential feature of which is that the stem a¹ of the pipe a extends to or near to
the end of the mouthpiece thereby preventing any fouling of the external case or
mouthpiece and providing a pipe having the sweet smoking properties of a clay
pipe together with the appearance of a pipe of briar wood or other material as
the case may be. When the internal pipe a becomes foul it can be readily removed
and a fresh one inserted.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
A pipe of porous material enclosed in a case or shell and mouthpiece substan-
tially as and for the purposes set forth.
