I, ALFRED MASON WHITFORD, of 5, East Terrace, Evesham, Worcestershire,
Tobacconist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in tobacco pipes having for object to
cause the smoke to deposit its nicotine before entering the mouth-piece and to
enable each separate part of the pipe to be easily cleaned.
For this purpose I provide two or more baffle plates each formed with a small
hole at the top and fitted or formed within moveable tubes inserted in the stem.
of the pipe. One of the said tubes is fitted on the inner end of the mouth-piece,
and the other tube, where two are used, fits partly within the first named tube.
The second tube is also provided with a larger hole on the underside through
which the nicotine escapes into the stem of the pipe which may be easily cleaned
after removing the mouth-piece and its attached tubes.
The two small holes prevent the too easy escape of the smoke from the bowl
into the mouth-piece, thus retarding or keeping back the smoke, and causing it
as it curls round, to deposit its nicotine upon the inside of the end or outer tube
from which it escapes through the hole in the underside.
The parts being separate may be easily removed and disconnected for the pur-
pose of cleaning and replaced in position again, care being taken to place the
small holes in the baffle plates uppermost thus bringing the larger hole in the
end tube to the underside of the stem.
By means of my invention cool smoking and freedom from nicotine is pro-
vided, and each separate part may be readily cleaned.

I, ALFRED MASON WHITFORD, of 5, East Terrace, Evesham, Worcestershire,
Tobacconist, 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:-
-
This invention relates to improvements in tobacco pipes having for object to
cause the smoke to deposit its nicotine before entering the mouth-piece and to
enable each separate part of the pipe to be easily cleaned.

page_text: For this purpose I provide two or more baffle plates each formed with a small
hole at the top and fitted or formed within moveable tubes inserted in the stem
of the pipe. One of the said tubes is fitted on the inner end of the mouthpiece,
and the other two where two are used, fits partly within the first named tube.
The second tube is also provided with a larger hole on the underside through
which the nicotine escapes into the stem of the pipe which may be easily cleaned
after removing the mouth-piece and its attached tubes.
The two small holes prevent the too easy escape of the smoke from the bowl
into the mouth-piece, thus retarding or keeping back the smoke, and causing it
as it curls round, to deposit its nicotine upon the inside of the end or outer tube
from which it escapes through the hole in the underside.
In order to more clearly describe my invention reference is had to the accom-
panying sheet of illustrative drawings on which
Fig. 1 is a section of a tobacco pipe constructed in accordance with my inven-
tion and
Figs. 2 to 5 are detail views showing various parts of the pipe.
Within the stem a of the pipe a hollow space b is formed and within this
hollow space tubes c d are fitted as shown separately in Figs. 2 to 5.
The tube c is provided with a baffle plate c at its end, having an opening c
through it, and the tube d shown separately in Figs. 4 and 5 is provided with a
baffle plate at about its centre, this baffle plate having an opening through
it. These openings 2 d2 are so arranged that when the tubes c d are in position
in the pipe stem, the openings are on the uppermost side. The tube c fits within
the tube b and the tube b fits upon the reduced end e¹ of the mouth-piece e.
The tube c is further provided with an opening on the underside. The
opening is preferably larger than the openings c² 2.
The smoke from the bowl f is drawn into the interior of the tube c through
the opening and is retarded somewhat owing to the smallness of the opening.
The smoke is therefore caused to curl round within the tube c and deposit its
nicotine which escapes through the opening into the space around the tubes.
The smoke then passes through the opening d² to the mouth-piece e.
The parts being separate may be easily removed and disconnected for the pur-
pose of cleaning and replaced in position again, care being taken to place the
holes uppermost thus bringing the hole to the underside of the stem.
By means of my invention cool smoking and freedom from nicotine is pro-
vided, and each separate part may be readily cleaned.
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:-
(1) An improved tobacco pipe having tubes arranged within a hollow space
formed in the stem, the said tubes being provided with baffle plates having small
openings on the uppermost sides, so that the smoke is retarded and caused to curl
round before passing to the mouth-piece, the nicotine deposited escaping through
an opening in the underside of one of the tubes, the parts furthermore being
capable of ready separation for cleaning and the like, substantially as described.
(2) In a tobacco pipe the tube c having baffle plate c¹ and openings 23 and
the tube d having baffle plate and opening the tubes c d being arranged
within the hollow space b in the stem a substantially as described with reference
to the drawing and for the purposes specified.
