Improvements in Tobacco Pipes and Cigar and Cigarette Tubes or
Holders.
I, JOHANN PHILIPP WILLIAM GLASER, of 75 Houndsgate, in the Town and
County of the Town of Nottingham, Yarn Agent and Merchant, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in tobacco pipes and cigar and cigarette
tubes or holders, whereby nicotine or other deleterious products of the tobacco are
prevented from entering the mouth of the smoker, and a cool smoke thereby
obtained. By way of example I proceed to describe the improvements as applied
to a pipe.
My improved pipe consists of four principal parts, viz. :-the bowl and its neck;
the mouthpiece; an intermediate part or tube which is inserted-between the bowl
and the mouthpiece, and contains a drum or smoke-flue, hereinafter more fully
referred to; and a dust or heat stopper. When these parts are fitted together three
chambers or spaces are formed.
The dust or heat stopper consists of a cup, thimble, or ferrule formed with holes
all round except at the centre opposite the bore of the bowl, and is fitted loosely in
the neck of the bowl.
The intermediate part or tube is formed, or provided, with a drum or smoke-
flue, as before mentioned, which contains a number of tubes or passages so arranged
that when the pipe is in use the smoke is caused to make a circuitous journey before
it reaches the third chamber, and is thereby rendered cool during its travel. This
drum or smoke-flue is furnished with two tubular nozzles or projections, one at its
forward end, which enters the second chamber, and forms the inlet for the smoke to
the drum or smoke flue, and the other at its rear end, which enters the third
chamber and constitutes the exit for the smoke from the drum. From this chamber
the smoke passes into the mouthpiece, which may likewise be formed, or pro-
vided with, a tubular nozzle or projection entering the rear end of this third
chamber.
The three chambers or spaces thus formed are located, one between the bowl
and the dust or heat-stopper, the other between this stopper and the front end of
the drum or smoke flue, the third between the rear end of the drum or smoke-flue
and the mouthpiece. Thus any nicotine, or other deleterious juices coming from the
tobacco, will be deposited and retained in the first named chamber or space, but
should it happen that any of these juices pass into the second named chamber and
thence through the drum or smoke-flue of the intermediate tube, they will be
caught and retained, together with any saliva which may enter from the mouth, in
the third named chamber or space, and so be prevented from passing into the mouth
of the smoker.
The bowl is formed at its lower part with a short tubular projection entering the
first named space or chamber, in order to prevent the juices or moisture being blown
back into the bowl by the smoker.
A pipe so constructed can be readily taken to pieces for cleaning, or other purposes,
and will always allow of a pleasant, dry, and cool smoke being obtained.
In some cases, a tube or removable lining of clay, paper, or other absorbent
material, may be introduced into the tubular nozzles or projections of the inter-
mediate tube, and of the mouthpiece, so as to further assist in absorbing any of the
deleterious juices of the tobacco.
The above named improvements may be applied, in like manner, to tubes or
holders for cigars or cigarettes.

page_text: I may also provide existing pipes, cigar or cigarette holders or tubes of any
ordinary construction, with the drum or smoke-flue hereinbefore described; and
in such case it would be preferable to arrange the said drum on the outside of
the article.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tobacco Pipes and Cigar and Cigarette Tubes or
Holders.
1, JOHANN PHILIPP WILLIAM GLASER, of 75 Houndsgate, in the Town and
County of the Town of Nottingham, Yarn Agent and Merchant, 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,
reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters and figures
marked thereon, that is to say :-
My invention relates to improvements in tobacco pipes and cigar and cigarette
tubes or holders, whereby nicotine or other deleterious products of the tobacco are
prevented from entering the mouth of the smoker, and a cool and agreeable smoke
thereby obtained. By way of example I proceed to describe the improvements as
applied to a pipe.
My improved pipe consists of four principal parts viz.: the bowl and its neck;
the mouthpiece; an intermediate part or tube which is inserted between the bowl
and the mouthpiece and containing a drum or smoke flue hereinafter more fully
referred to; and a dust or heat stopper. When these parts are fitted together three
spaces or chambers are formed.
The dust or heat stopper consists of a cup, thimble or ferrule of metal or other
suitable material formed with holes all round except at the centre opposite the bore
of the bowl and is fitted loosely in the neck of the bowl.
The intermediate part, stem, or tube is formed or provided with a drum or smoke
flue, as before mentioned, of clay or other suitable material, which contains a number
of tubes or passages so arranged that when the pipe is in use the smoke is caused to
make a circuitous journey before it reaches the third chamber, and is thereby
rendered cool during its travel. This drum or smoke flue is furnished with two
tubular nozzles or projections one at its forward end and which enters the second
chamber and forms the inlet for the smoke to the drum or smoke flue, and the other
at its rear end which enters the third chamber and constitutes the exit for the smoke
from the drum. From this chamber the smoke passes into the mouthpiece which is
likewise provided with a tubular nozzle or projection entering the rear end of this
third chamber.
The three chambers or spaces thus formed are located one between the bowl and
the dust or heat stopper, the other between this stopper and the front end of the
drum or smoke flue, the third between the rear end of the drum or smoke flue and
the mouthpiece. Thus any nicotine or other deleterious juices coming from the
tobacco will be deposited and retained in the first named chamber or space, but
should it happen that any of these juices pass into the second named chamber,
and thence through the drum or smoke flue of the intermediate tube, they will be
caught, and retained, together with any saliva which may enter from the mouth, in
the third named chamber or space, and so be prevented from passing into the mouth
of the smoker.
The bowl is formed at its lower part with a short tubular projection entering the
first named space or chamber in order to prevent the juices or moisture being blown
back into the bowl by the smoker.

page_text: A pipe so constructed can be readily taken to pieces for cleaning, or other
purposes, and will always allow of a pleasant, dry, and cool smoke being obtained.
The above named improvements may be applied in like manner to cigar or
cigarette tubes or holders when provided with bowls, but when such tubes or holders
are of straight form the drum or smoke flue only would be necessary.
I may likewise provide existing pipes of any ordinary construction with the drum
or smoke flue, and in such case it would be preferable to arrange the said drum on
the outside of the stem, and to connect the tubular nozzles with the interior of such
stem which would be provided with a diaphragm or partition.
And in order that my invention may be readily understood I proceed to describe
the same with reference to the annexed drawings, in which :-
Fig. 1 represents one construction of my improved pipe, in part sectional elevation;
and Fig. 1x represents a modified construction which I prefer to use.
Figs. 2, 3, and 4 represent, on an enlarged scale, a longitudinal section and end
views of the drum or smoke flue, the tubular nozzles being removed.
Fig. 5 shows a longitudinal section of the drum or smoke flue with the tubular
nozzles affixed.
Referring to Fig. 1, a is the bowl having a bore or passage b projecting into the
chamber c which is formed by the dust or heat stopper ax; this chamber c I call
the first chamber.
d is the drum or smoke flue which consists of a cylindrical body of clay, or other
suitable material, (preferably absorbent) having several circuitous passages e, f, g,
formed therein and central sockets h, j. These sockets are for the reception of the
tubular nozzles k, k¹, having flanges 1,, which constitute covers for the drum. The
circuitous passages communicate with each other as shown on the drawing so as to
form one continuous passage for the smoke from one tubular nozzle to the other; thus,
the smoke from the second chamber k² enters at k and passes through the socket /
and hole m into the passage e thence by the end passage n formed partly by the cover
flange into the passage f, whence it passes by the passage pat the other end of the
drum into the passage g and so on, finally leaving the passages by the hole q in the
socket j and passing through nozzle into the third chamber. The drum d fits
into a tube s, screwed at one end to receive the bowl a, and at the other to receive
the mouthpiece t. The screwed portions of the bowl and mouthpiece serve to press
the flanges l,, which are provided with washers u, u, against the drum and form a
smoke tight joint.
The mouth piece t is provided with a nozzle v, so that only smoke can pass
from the drum to the mouthpiece, any nicotine or other deleterious juices which may
have passed through the drum being collected in the third chamber r.
The chambers may be lined with a removable lining of clay, paper, or other
absorbent material to further assist in absorbing any moisture or deleterious juices.
Referring to Fig. 1x which is the modified construction, the dust or heat stopper a*
(Fig. 1) is dispensed with, and in its stead I now use a false bowl a' (see Fig. 1×) in
combination with the other improvements described, by means of which dust and
heat are arrested in a more satisfactory manner. In this arrangement the tubular
passage is situated at a higher level, and the chamber e is situated between the
two bowls.
In applying the invention to cigar tubes, a "burner" would be screwed on in place
of the bowl.
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. The construction and use of the drum or smoke flue having circuitous passages
or channels formed therein and provided at its ends with nozzles, and the application
thereof to tobacco pipes, and cigar or cigarette holders, substantially as described.
2. In tobacco pipes the employment of three chambers for the reception of nicotine,
or other deleterious products of the tobacco, in combination with a drum or smoke

page_text: flue, constructed as above claimed, substantially as herein described and as shown
by the drawings.
3. The improved construction of tobacco pipe as described and shown with
reference to Fig. 1 of the drawings.
4. The modified construction of tobacco pipe as described and shown with
reference to Fig. 1× of the drawings.
Dated this 21st day of July 1891.
