ROBERT THOMSON 361 Blackburn Road Oswaldtwistle near Accrington
Lancashire, Papermaker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as-
follows:-
My invention consists in constructing a pipe in such a manner that it prevents.
the nicotine from entering the mouth of the smoker, in order to carry out my
invention I construct a pipe with the bowl or head in one or two parts, and at the
bottom I have a cup and over the said cup is placed a plug or pillar of pot or
some other fire resisting meterial, the said plug to have a few holes from the
outside circumference and all joining one centre one which is only open at the
bottom, which allows the nicotine to drop into the bottom cup by its own gravity.
whilst the smoke is drawn up the stem, by the pipe head being in two parts it
may be charged from the bottom pushing up the previous charge to the top, and it.
may be made with a groove round the inside circumference of the bowl at the
joining of the two parts which forms a flue or passage when the two parts are put
together, the connection to this passage to the inside of the bowl is at the opposite-
side to the stem, which the smoke as to travel round before entering the stem.

ROBERT THOMSON Paper Maker 361 Blackburn Road Oswaldtwistle in the
County of Lancaster 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 :-
My invention consists in constructing a pipe in such a manner that it prevents
the nicotine, from entering the mouth of the smoker, in order to carry out my
invention, I construct a pipe, with the bowl or head in one or two parts, and at the
bottom I have a cup, and over the said cup is placed a plug or pillar, of pot, or
some other fire resisting meterial, the said plug to have a few holes from the
outside circumference and all joining oue ceutre one, which is only open at the
bottom which allows the nicotine to drop into the bottom cup by its own gravity,
whilst the smoke is drawn up the stem. By the pipe head being in two parts, it
may be charged from the bottom pushing up the previous charge to the top, and it
may have a groove round the inside circumference of the bowl at the joining of
the two parts which forms a flue or passage when the two parts are put together,
the connection to this passage to the inside of the bowl is at the opposite side
to the stem which the smoke as to travel round before entering the stem.
In order that my invention may be fully understood I will proceed to describe

page_text: the same by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1. is a section
of the pipe without the flue or passage, Fig. 2. is a section of the same with the
fluc, A is the bowl or head, B is the lower part with stem, C is the plug or pillar,
D is the point where the bowl is connected to the lower part B, which may be
screwed or plain, E are the holes in the plug C, which may be any number all
joining the centre one, the said centre one to be open at the bottom or lower end
only, F is the cup for catching the nicotine, which screws on the nipple which is
fixed or made with the head at the bottom of the bowl, G in Fig. 2. is the flue or
passage for the smoke.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is.
1. The use of a perferated plug or pillar inside the bottom of the bowl or head
of the pipe to keep the tobacco up.
2. The use of a cup on the outside at the bottom in connection with the said
pillar or plug for a receptacle for the nicotine.
3. By making the head in two parts I can form a flue or passage round the
bottom for the smoke to travel.
