Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
JAMES LONG, 66 Bennerley Road, Wandsworth Common in the County of Surrey,
Inventor & Engineer, and Captain THOMAS WOLRICH LOGAN STANSFELD, Royal
Artillery, of 6 Northumberland Place, Bayswater, London do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our Invention relates to an improvement or improvements in Tobacco Pipes of
every description and kind, and is as follows. In clay, composition, & other pipes
that are cast in a mould, we leave a small pinhole or perforation at or near the bottom
of the bowl of the Pipe, so that a more perfect combustion is obtained, and the
fragrance of the tobacco preserved. In meerschaum, wood, & other pipes that are
carved or turned in a lathe, the pinhole or aperture is bored or cut.

JAMES LONG of 66 Bennerley Road, Wandsworth Common, Surrey, Inventor &
Engineer, and Captain THOMAS WOLRICH LOGAN STANSFELD, Royal Artillery, of
6 Northumberland Place, Bayswater, London 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 proposed improvement consists in ventilating the interior of the pipe by means
of small vents bored through into the Bowl and bore of the pipe, as shewn at A & B
in each figure of the accompanying drawings, which represent sections of Tobacco
pipes. The improvement is applicable to Tobacco pipes of any shape or make. The
object of the invention is to cool the tobacco smoke before it passes into the mouth of
the smoker. This object is effected by the making of the vents A & B, which, while
allowing a passage for the air to the interior of the pipe, are not of such large
dimensions as to materially interfere with the free drawing of the smoke from the
burning tobacco. The object of the vent A is to ventilate & cool the smoke in the
bore of the Pipe; that of the vent B to ventilate & cool the unconsumed tobacco in
the bowl of the pipe. Where the pipe is provided with a "Push" mouthpiece, the
vent A is bored through both the stein of the pipe, & that part of the mouthpiece
inserted in the stem, see Fig. 1; this admits of the vent A being closed by merely
turning the mouthpiece round, see Fig. 2. Where the pipe is not provided with a
"Push" mouthpiece, a stopper can be attached to the pipe by a small chain, as shewn
at C, Fig. 3.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we claim is :-
1. The feature of ventilating the interior of pipes in the manner described is entirely
novel, and advantageous.
