PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tobacco-pipes, Cigar and Cigarette Holders.
ERNEST DAVIES of 19 Clifton Villas Camden Town in the County of London
Contractors' Clerk and ALFRED EVES of 348 Kingsland Road in the County of
London Accountant do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The improvement claimed lies in the construction of a small metal pipe which
passes through pieces of metal in the form of buttons or bosses, one boss or button
piece with a screw boss thereon (or not as may be fancied on fitting up the pipe) at
one end of the said pipe, and one button piece not quite at the other end, the said
metal pipe is filed at two places, one thereof at the top of the pipe and one thereof
on the underside and between these two slots or cuts the pipe is stopped by solder or
other suitable material. The stem of the pipe (and we claim to use whatever
material pipes are made of) is bored as large as may be necessary to allow the metal
pipe and its button pieces to fit firmly therein. The whole of this metal arrangement
is inserted in the stem of the pipe so that portion of the small inner metal pipe tube
that projects beyond the button piece reaches the bottom of the pipe bowl. The
other button end of the metal inner tube can be soldered or bossed up as a screw
ferrule to fix or attach the mouth piece, or the mouth piece may be secured by a
metal collar or band. The mouth piece of the said pipe may be made in any material
suitable as now or that may hereafter be used in tobacco pipes, cigar or cigarette
holders, which we hollow out also to as large a bore as the material will admit and as
near to the flattened or lip part thereof as the same will allow and we insert therein
another small metal tube either straight, turned up with a lip, stop end and slotted
or counterpart of the said tube inserted in the stem of the pipe and secure as large
a condensing chamber around it as the size and design of the pipe cigar or cigarette
holder will permit. And if we want a very cool pipe we insert in the mouth piece
condensation chamber a close fitting metal spiral screw and make the smoke travel a
longer distance.
The advantages are as follows.
1. We claim that true nicotine does not pass from the condensing chamber formed
in the stem of the pipe or holder into the lip piece of the pipe cigar or cigarette
holder.
2. The smoke leaving the bowl of the pipe passes up the inner metal tube until it
meets the obstruction placed therein and it has to pass through the slot cut in the
under side of the pipe into the condensing chamber and is drawn through the slot cut
out in the upper part of the metal tube or pipe, and thus is drawn into the chamber
of the mouth piece around which it circulates and is finally drawn through the small
tube or spiral screw inserted in the mouth piece.
3. That the smoker does not get any punjent condensation liquid into the mouth
and the tobacco is consumed with less than the usual percentage of soddened residue.
4. The smoke when it reaches the mouth is consequently cooler.
5. The whole can quickly be taken to pieces and cleaned, and any excess of
nicotine or other obstruction can be blown out by way of the bowl of the pipe
(without taking it to pieces).
6. The above internal fittings, is claimed as applicable to the various pattern pipes
now in use also for cigar and cigarette holders.
7. For said holders a hollow tube or bowl takes the place of the pipe bowl.
8. And in order that our invention may be carried into effect we describe the
accompanying Sheet of Drawings, reference being made to the figures and letters
marked thereon.

Improvements in Tobacco-pipes, Cigar and Cigarette Holders.
We ERNEST DAVIES of 19 Clifton Villas Camden Town in the County of London
Contractors' Clerk and ALFRED EVES of 348 Kingsland Road in the County of
London Accountant 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 improvements claimed lies in the construction of a small inner pipe or tube
made in metal or in bone wood vulcanite or other suitable material, to which is fixed
buttons or bosses made in like materials, or partly one or partly the other, and one
boss or button piece with a screw thereon or not, at one end or it may be soldered or
otherwise secured to the boss or button piece in the band that joins or connects the
mouth piece to the stem of the pipe or in such other form of connection as may be
fancied on fitting up the pipe, cigar or cigarette holder; at the other end of the small
pipe or tube which can be made with a screw thread thereon or not is a button
piece or boss not quite at the end so as to permit the small pipe or tube to be inserted
in the bowl and the said button or boss piece to fit close to the shoulder of the pipe
bowl or holder. The said small pipe or tube is filed at 2 places one thereof at one
side of the pipe or tube and one thereof on the opposite side and between these two
slots or cuts the pipe or tube is stopped by suitable material or the boring of the said
inner pipe or tube not being carried right through so as to allow a stoppage. The
stem of the pipe (and we claim to use whatever materials smoking pipes are made of)
is bored as large as may be necessary to allow the small pipe or tube and its button
pieces to fit therein, so that, that portion of the small pipe or tube that projects
beyond the boss or button piece reaches the bowl, the other end of this pipe or tube
can be attached or not to the collar or band used to connect the pipe with the
mouth piece and to prevent leakage we claim to use or not use a rubber disc.
The mouth piece of the said pipe cigar or cigarette holder may be made in any
material as now or that may be hereafter used in tobacco pipes, cigar and cigarette
holders, which are hollowed out also to as large a bore as the material will admit or
allow and we insert therein another small pipe or tube either straight, turned up
with a lip, stop end and slotted, or a counter part of the tube inserted in the stem of
the pipe as set out on drawing marked Fig. 3, 3, 36, and if we want a very cool
pipe we insert in the mouth piece condensation chamber a close fitting spiral screw of
suitable material and make the smoke travel a longer distance. The arrangements
conduct the smoke up the inner tube until it meets the obstruction placed therein and
it passes through the slot nearest the bowl of the pipe into the condensing chamber
and is drawn through the slot cut out on the opposite side of the tube or pipe and
thus it passes into the chamber of the mouth piece around which it circulates and is
finally drawn through the small tube or spiral screw and other arrangements afore-
said inserted in the mouth piece the whole can be quickly taken to pieces and cleaned,
and any excess of moisture or nicotine or obstruction in the condensation chambers
removed or blown out.

page_text: The above described internal fittings are applicable to the various pattern pipes
now in use also for cigar and cigarette holders, for said holders a hollow tube or
receptacle takes the place of the pipe bowl; and in order that our invention may be
carried into effect we describe the accompanying Sheet of Drawings reference being
made to the figures and letters marked thereon.
Fig. 1 shows a section of pipe to which our invention or improvement is applied.
Fig. 2 shows the part of the same where bored or hollowed out.
Figs. 3, 3, 3, shows the patterns of the movable piece or pieces as internal tube
or tubes pipe or pipes as slotted at A & B, and internal stop at C.
Fig. 4 shows spiral arrangement to insert in chamber of mouth piece for a cooler
pipe.
Fig. 5 shows mouth piece as hollowed out with internal pipe at D.
Fig. 6 shows a section of a chamber of a cigar or cigarette holder to which our
invention is applied.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and improvements and in what manner same is to be performed we declare
that what we claim is an invention and improvement
1. Of internal pipes made as aforesaid described and drawn which prevents the
nicotine of tobacco coming into the smokers mouth or return of saliva to the
smokers mouth and do illustrate this fact by pouring into the bowl of the pipe about
half a teaspoonful of water if the pipe is inverted the water will not pass through
to the mouth piece or be drawn through by ordinary suction or vice versa, pass into
the bowl of the pipe.
2. That the tobacco is consumed with less than the usual percentage of soddened
residue.
3. By frequent cleaning a salutary smoking pipe and appliance.
