Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
1, WILLIAM BOHRER of No. 28 Mackay Street, in the City of Montreal, in the
District of Montreal and Province of Quebec, Dominion of Canada, Musician,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows
This invention relates to tobacco pipes and has for its object first to prevent the
clogging thereof with the consequent accumulation of nicotine and secondly to
maintain the bowl proper of the pipe in a cooler condition as well as allowing the
tobacco contained therein to be completely smoked without any perceptible change
in taste to the smoker.
To such ends the invention embodies the following features viz.: a perforated
basket-like receptacle inserted in the bowl of the pipe with its bottoin located
slightly above the end of the stem channel and having the effect of preventing any
tobacco reaching the botton of the bowl and thereby clogging the entrance of the
stem channel; an air space between the side of the basket receptacle and the bowl
whereby the bowl will remain much cooler since the burning tobacco will not come
directly into contact therewith and an enlargement of the stem channel which
allows any saliva liquid to flow freely down to the bottom of the bowl the freer
passage of smoke therethrough and easy outpouring of any accumulated liquid when
the mouth piece is removed.
Dated this 31st day of October 1895.

I, WILLIAM BOHRER of No. 28 Mackay Street, in the City of Montreal in
the District of Montreal and Province of Quebec, Dominion of Canada, Musician,
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:-
.
This invention relates to tobacco pipes and has for its object first to prevent the
clogging thereof with the consequent accumulation of nicotine, and secondly to
maintain the bowl proper of the pipe in a 'cooler condition as well as allowing the
tobacco contained therein to be completely smoked without any perceptible change
in taste to the smoker.
To such ends the invention embodies the following features viz.: a perforated
basket-like receptacle inserted in the bowl of the pipe with its bottom located
slightly above the end of the stem channel and having the effect of preventing any
tobacco reaching the bottom of the bowl and thereby clogging the entrance of the
stem channel; an air space between the side of the basket receptacle and the bowl
whereby the bowl will remain inuch cooler'since the burning tobacco will not come

allows any saliva liquid to flow freely down to the bottom of the bowl the freer
passage of smoke therethrough and easy outpouring of any accumulated liquid
when the mouth-piece is removed.
For full comprehension however of the invention reference must be had to the
annexed drawings forming a part of this specification in which like symbols
indicate corresponding parts and wherein
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal vertical section of a pipe containing my improvements.
Fig. 2 a detail perspective view of the basket-like receptacle removed.
Fig. 3 a horizontal sectional view taken on line x-x Fig. 1, and
Fig. 4 an adjustable basket struck out of a sheet of thin metal.
a is the bowl and b the stem of the pipe which may be of any of the usual forms
and provided with mouth-piece c.
e is a basket-like receptacle of cylindrical form and of a length preferably
about three quarters the depth of the bowl cavity its lower end being closed and
its upper end open.
This receptacle which is preferably composed of wire netting is at its lower
end of a diameter corresponding to that of the inside of the bowl cavity which is
preferably bored to a slightly larger diameter than usual in order to provide a
shoulder upon which the bottom of the receptacle rests the upper end of the
receptacle being normally flared somewhat so that when forced into place there
will be sufficient spring to afford the necessary frictional contact with the bowl to
retain it in place and such formation also has the effect of providing an air space g
between the receptacle and the bowl.
*In order to secure a freer passage of the smoke through the stem and other
advantages such as before mentioned I enlarge as shown the channel h in the stem
to nearly three times its usual size.
°
My object in making the basket-like receptacle of wire netting is to ensure
the advantageous result of enabling one size of receptacle to be made and
such receptacle to be adjustable by compression or extension to fit any size of
pipe bowl.
The basket shown in Fig. 4 is formed out of thin metal being perforated
throughout and slitted radially allowing of the segment overlapping and of its
being adjusted to fit any size of pipe.
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 :-
1. An adjustable basket-like receptacle for pipes.
2. A basket for pipes formed of wire netting.
3. A pipe containing a perforated basket-like receptacle within its bowl cavity
for the purpose set forth.
4. A pipe containing a perforated basket-like receptacle within its bowl
