I, GEORGE FRANCIS VERINI, Proprietor of Zetland Hotel, Saltburn by the Sea,
in the County of York, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention has for its object a pipe stem that will freely admit the smoke to the
mouth, but which will not allow the saliva to pass to the bowl. This is effected by
causing the smoke in its passage to the mouth, to traverse an upward bend, and by
arranging the passage from the mouth with a well or branch, collecting tube below,
into which the saliva shall run, instead of into the bowl.
In carrying out my invention, instead of forming the passage in direct line from
the mouth piece to the bowl, I place a partition across the passage, and carry the
smoke by a loop passage above. The passage from the mouth is, however, continued
in a downward course to a small chamber, with removable cap, into which the saliva
runs, and in which it collects and from which it can be emptied from time to time.
In the case of briar pipes, I screw or otherwise socket the briar and the mouth piece
into a connecting metallic junction piece. This junction piece has a transverse plate
or stop entirely closing the passage, and above this plate or stop, a small branch pipe
connects the two portions of the main tube, otherwise separated by the stop. Just.
behind the stop on the side nearest the mouth-piece, a sloping tube joins the bottom
of the main tube, projecting forward and downward under the stop at an angle
preferably of about 30 degrees. This has a removable cup-cap, or other stopper, which
can be removed from time to time and the saliva emptied out.
This invention is also applicable for cigar or cigarette holders, mouth-pieces for
hookahs, and the like.

page_text: I, GEORGE FRANCIS VERINI, Proprietor of Zetland Hotel, Saltburn-by-the-Sea, in
the County of York, 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 has for its object a pipe stem that will freely admit the smoke, but
no nicotine, to the mouth, and will not allow saliva to pass to the bowl. This is
effected by causing the smoke, as it passes to the mouth, to traverse an upward bend,
(the usual direct passage being stopped), and by providing a collecting tube below,
into which the saliva shall run, instead of into the bowl.
In carrying out my invention, instead of forming the passage in direct line from.
the mouth piece to the bowl, I place a partition across the passage, and carry the
smoke by a loop passage above. The passage from the mouth is, however, continued
in a downward course to a small tube or chamber with removable cap, into which the
saliva runs, and from which it can be emptied from time to time.
The drawing illustrates a tobacco pipe in elevation, the device for collecting the
saliva, impurities, etcetera, being shown in section. In this the bowl A and mouth-
piece B of the pipe are screwed or otherwise socketed into a connecting metallic
junction piece C. This junction piece has a transverse plate or stop c, entirely
closing the passage, and above this plate ca small branclupipe D connects the two portions
of C, otherwise separated by stop c, so that a through passage is established between
the mouth piece and the bowl. Just behind the stop on the side nearest the mouth
piece, a sloping tube E joins the bottom of the connecting piece, projecting forward
and downward under the stop at an angle preferably of about 30 degrees. This has a
removable cup cape or other stopper, which can be removed from time to time, and
the saliva emptied out. The nicotine or impurities collecting on the other side of the
stop e, can be emptied out by unscrewing the bowl from the junction piece C, or if
desired, a tube with stopper could be provided somewhat similar to that already
described.
The invention is also applicable for cigar or cigarette holders, mouth pieces for
hookahs, and the like.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed; I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A tobacco pipe or other smoking tube or mouth piece, in which the passage for

page_text: the smoke instead of passing direct to the mouth, is connected therewith by an
upward bend for the smoke, and a small tube projecting downward into a settling
chamber, into which liquid from the mouth collects, and from which it can from time
to time be withdrawn, substantially as described.
2. The improved pipe stem or junction piece C, having a partition c across the
passage, a small branch pipe D, connecting the two portions of the stem, otherwise
closed by the partition, and the tube or well E with a stopper or cap e for collecting
the saliva, and emptying it from time to time as desired, substantially as described.
