Improvements in Tobacco ripes
GEORGE THOMAS WILLIAMS The Croft Hotel, Roath Car liff, Glamorganshire,
Hotel Keeper, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows
An improvement in pipes for tobacco smoking by the means of a second bowl
or chamber for the absorption of the nicotine in which the smoke is arrested in its
passage through the pipe before it enters the mouth piece, where it revolves at
a rapid pace, the nicotine being deposited, confined and absorbed, after which the
smoke passes into the mouth piece purified and dry
The
The object is to obtain a purer, drier cooler and cleaner smoking pipe
construction as herein described and shown on drawing provides for the effectual
confinement of the nicotine and other impurities in the second bowl or chamber, they
cannot reti eat to the tobacco to sodden and spoil the lower portion, and they cannot get
into the mouth piece to the injury and annoyance of the smoker however the pipe may
be turned about or upside down At the same time the nicotine requires no emptying
as it is absorbed and cannot soil the fingers of the smoker, his pockets or the locality
where the pipe may be used or placed, and thereby a clean and sweet pipe is
obtained whilst every grain of the tobacco can be smoked to the end in a maximum
dry state
CONSTRUCTION
J propose to make the pipe in four parts as marked A B C D ou drawing
The tobacco bowl maiked A on drawing to be of cherry or other suitable wood
with screwed end projecting (marked E) for connection to the second bowl or
chamber The second bowl or chamber B to be made of similar wood with two
apertures threaded for screws to connect tobacco bowl and mouth piece, and open
at the bottom to receive absorption plug The absorption plug maiked C to be
of the best velvet or other cork, or other material which may be found to be of
maximum absorbing power, to be made removable bv push or screw
This plug is
of course renewable
The mouth picce marked D to be made of material usual
in pipes
WORKING
The smoke travels into the smoke bowl and there its course to the mouth piece
is for a time arrested The smoke revolves around this bowl at a great speed &
thus travels a sufficient distance which is essential in allowing it to deposit the
nicotine The nicotine, which cannot escape this bowl by means of the projecting
ends of the tobacco bonl & mouth piece, falls on to the absorption plug and the
smoke in a purified and cool state then enters the mouth piece and is drawn into
the month
The projections marked E are the ends of the tobacco bowl and mouth piece
when connected to the smoke bowl, penetrate the smoke bowl sufficiently to form a
barrier to the nicotine, or any impurity entering the tobacco bowl, or from entering
the mouth piece
All the impurities of the tobacco are thus confined and disposed
of by absorption &c through the smoke bowl, or chamber The absorption plug
Price 871

It can be replaced by another plug almost without cost

GEORGE THOMAS WILLIAMS The Croft Hotel, Roath Cardiff Glamorganshire,
Hotel Keeper, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly de cubed and ascertained in and
by the following statement
-
My improvement in pipes for tobacco smoking consists of a second bowl or
chamber for the collection, confinement and absorption of the nicotine and other
impurities In this bowl, maiked B on drawing filed with my Provisional
Specification, the smoke is airested for a time in its pas age through the pipe
It revolves therein at a rapid rate depositing the nicotine, after which the smoke
passes into the mouth piece more purified and dry Then by means of a renewable
and absorption plug marked C which forms the base of this bowl, the nicotine is
absorbed thus producing a clean, sweet & puier pipe (by confining in this second
bowl the nicotine and other impurities)
The ends of the screws (marhed E) of the mouth piece (D) and tobacco bowl (A)
are made to project inside bowl B They form a bailer on either side to prevent
the impurities escaping The impurities cannot retreat to the tobacco bowl to
moisten and sodden it neither can they get into the mouth piece to the annoyance
and injury of the smoker no matter how the pipe may be turned upside down, or
turned about The nicotine requires no emptying as it is absorbed by the absorption
plug (marked C) There is no discharge to annoy the smoker, to soil his clothing
or the locality where the pipe may be placed or to spoil a portion of the tobacco,
which can be consumed to the last grain in a dry state and with out waste
CONSTRICTION
I propose to make the pipe in four parts as marked A B C D on drawing filed
with my Provisional Specification 1 ne tobacco bowl marked A to be of bar
chenny or other suitable wool or material with screwel end projecting (marke L)
for connection to the second bowl B The second bowl B to be made of similai
wood or material providel with two apertures thi caled for s row for connection
to tobacco bowl and mouth piece This bowl to be open at the base to receive
absorption plug The absorption plug, marked to be of the best velvet or other
cork, or other material of absorbing power This plug to be removable by push
or screw and to be renewable The mouth piece (marked D) to be made of
material usual and suitable in pipes, with screwed end L for connection to
bowl B
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 18-
1st A clean and pure smoking pipe by reason of my special atrangement for
collecting, confining, and absorbing the nicotine and other impurities as herein-
tofore described

page_text: great
2nd By my special construction and arrangement as described I claim
saving in tobacco, as the tobacco can be consumed in a dry state to the last grain
without waste
3rd Simplicity of construction-all parts easily accessible for cleaning (which
1s reduced to a minimum trouble) in a word by the special construction foi
collecting and confining the nicotine and its absorption, I claim a cleaner,
Sweeter purer and consequently a healthier smoking pipe
