page_text: Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
I, CHARLES EDWARD NEWMAN PHILLIPS, of 8, Cunliffe Terrace. Manningham,
Bradford, in the County of York, Artist, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion to be as follows:.
This invention relates to improvements in tobacco pipes, and its object is to
prevent the liquid products of combustion, particles of tobacco, tobacco ash or the
like being drawn into the mouth.
For this purpose I introduce a removable trap in the bore or stem of the pipe
preferably located at the junction of the mouth piece and stem. This trap may
be approximately torpedo shape or of any other suitable shape and one end may
fit into an enlargement in the bore of the mouth-piece. An enlargement is mado.
in the bore of the stem to receive the other end of the trap.
The trap is made with blind ends and the passages in and out are made in the
sides close to the ends. When in position in the pipe the admission and emission
passages may be in the upper side or the admission passage may be on the lower
side. The trap is preferably made in two pieces jointed together.

I, CHARLES EDWARD NEWMAN PHILLIPS, of 8, Cunliffe Terrace, Manningham,
Bradford, in the County of York, Artist, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to improvements in tobacco pipes, and its object is to
prevent the liquid products of combustion, particles of tobacco, tobacco ash or the
like being drawn into the mouth.
For this purpose I introduce a removable trap in the bore or stem of the pipe
preferably located at the junction of the mouth piece and stem. This trap may
be approximately torpedo shape or of any other suitable shape and one end may
fit into an enlargement in the bore of the mouth-piece. An enlargement is made
in the bore of the stem to receive the other end of the trap.
The trap is made with blind ends and the passages in and out are made in the

page_text: sides close to the ends. When in position in the pipe the admission and emission
passages may be in the upper side or the admission passage may be on the lower
side. The trap is preferably made in two pieces jointed together.
To fully describe my invention, reference is made to the accompanying sheet
of drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of refer-
ence indicate corresponding parts in each of the figures.
Figure 1, is a longitudinal section of a pipe fitted with my improvements.
Figure 2, is a side view of the mouth-piece and trap.
Figure 3, is a longitudinal section of the mouth-piece and trap.
Figure 4, is a section of the trap alone.
Figure. 5, is a view of the two halves of the trap detached from the mouth-
piece and from each other.
The bore A of the stem B is enlarged as well as the end of the bore in the mouth-
piece to receive the torpedo shaped trap.
This trap is made in two pieces C and D jointed together in the middle in such
a manner they can be readily taken apart to clean them. The larger end of the
part D nicely fits the enlargement in the bore of the mouth-piece as shown in
Figure 3 and the admission passage E to the trap may be placed at the lower side
and the emission passage F at the upper side.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
The combination with a tobacco pipe, of a detachable trap made in two pieces,
substantially as herein shown and described. .
