CHARLES FULTON 31 Hufling Lane. Burnley, Lancashire, Warp Dresser,.
KNAPTON FULTON Hollin Bank, Burnley, Lancashire, Salesman and General
Agent, 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 of this invention is to prevent the accumulation of nicotine or moisture
in the bowl of the pipe, also to make the draught easy on commencing to smoke a
full pipe of tobacco.
The invention will be readily understood on reference to the accompanying sheet
of drawings.
Fig. 1. (section) is a partial representation of a pipe constructed of any suitable
material or composition according to our invention A represents the bowl, C the
draught in the bottom of the bowl, B a draught preferably bored midway in the
side of the bowl both draughts having a passage through into the recepticle D.
Fig. 2. is a plan of the mouthpiece E. G. the shank of the mouthpiece, H. a
grove on the outer side of the shank G. F. a draught through the centre of the
said shank and mouthpiece.
Fig. 3. (in section) a representation of the pipe complete, the shank G. of the
mouthpiece E. is pushed into the recepticle D. with the grove H. opposite the
draught B. thus connecting the draught B. along the grove H. (in the direction as
indicated by arrows) into the aperture at the end of the recepticle D. through the
draught F. in the shank G. and mouthpiece E. the draught C. being closed by
the blank side of the shank G.
Fig. 4. (in section) a representation of the pipe with the draught changed this is
effected by giving the mouthpiece E. a half turn in the recepticle D. which puts
the grove H. opposite the draught C. thereby connecting the draught C. along the
grove H. (in the direction indicated by arrows) into the aperture at the end of the
recepticle D. through the draught F. in the shank G. and mouthpiece E. the blank
side of the shank G. closing the draught B.
The mode of procedure on commencing to smoke a full pipe of tobacco, from a
pipe constructed according to our invention, may be thus described.
The first or top portion of tobacco is consumed through the draught B. (Fig. 3.)
(in direction indicated by arrows) along the grove H. into the aperture at the end
of the recepticle D. through the draught F. in the shank G. and mouthpiece E.
into the mouth of the smoker.
To consume the lower portion of tobacco the mouthpiece E. is given a half turn
in the recepticle D. which places the grove H. opposite the draught C. (Fig. 4)
the blank side of the shank G. closing the draught B. the draught C. is thereby
connected along the grove H. (in the direction indicated by arrows) into the
aperture at the end of the recepticle D. through the draught F. in the shank G.
and mouthpiece E. to the mouth of the smoker.
By this arrangement of draughts for consuming the tobacco in portions, it as
the effect of consuming the nicotine or moisture in the course of smoking thus
preventing the bowl of the pipe from becoming saturated and the tobacco can be all
consumed.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is performed we declare that what we
claim is.:-
In a pipe such as specified "draughts that are changeable for the purpose of
consuming the tobacco in portions" substantially as described and illustrated in 5
Figs. 1. 2. 3. 4. of the accompanying drawings.
