Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
I, HARRY JOHN MORGAN, Attendant at Banstead Asylum, near Sutton, Surrey,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
-
This invention relates to improvements in tobacco pipes, the object being, an
improved form of construction whereby all nicotine, tobacco juices etc. are pre-
vented from reaching the mouth and retained in a receptacle formed in the lower
part of the bowl of the pipe, this receptacle being arranged and closed in such
a manner as to allow of the said nicotine, tobacco juices, etc. being easily removed
when required. By means of this invention I am enabled to produce a pipe of
simple construction that can be cheaply produced and which may be continually
smoked without injury to the health."
In carrying my invention into practical effect, my improved pipe is constructed
mainly in the ordinary manner with a central passage running through the stem
to the front of the pipe where the said passage is returned and enters the bowl
at the bottom of same and towards the front.
In the solid lower portion of the bowl of the pipe a small receptacle or chamber
is formed, normally closed by means of a small plug screwing into the bottom
of the pipe, and from this receptacle or chamber a short passage leads to the
central or main passage or channel in the stem of the pipe.
When in use the smoke is drawn through the main passage or chamber while
the nicotine, tobacco juices etc., by reason of their greater weight, fall through
the branch passage leading to the receptacle or chamber formed in the lower part
of the pipe, from whence they can be removed by unscrewing the plug hereinbefore
referred to.
I, HARRY JOHN MORGAN, Attendant at Banstead Asylum, near Sutton, Surrey,
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 the object being an

vented from reaching the mouth and retained in a receptacle formed in the lower
part of the bowl of the pipe, this receptacle being arranged and closed in such
a manner, as to allow of the said nicotine, tobacco juices etc. being easily removed
when required. By means of this invention I am enabled to produce a pipe of
simple construction that can be cheaply produced, and which may be continually
smoked without injury to the health."
In carrying my invention into practical effect, my improved pipe is constructed
mainly in the ordinary manner with a central passage running through the stem
towards the front of the pipe where the said passage is returned and enters the
bowl at the bottom of the same and at a point towards the front of the pipe.
In the solid lower portion of the bowl of the pipe, a small receptacle or chamber
is formed, normally closed by a plug screwing into the bottom of the pipe, and
from this receptacle or chamber a short passage leads to the central or main passage
or channel in the stem of the pipe.
In order that my invention may be more fully understood, I will now proceed to
describe same with reference to the accompanying drawing, which is a cross
section through a bowl of a pipe illustrating the construction of same.
According to this invention, a main passage or channel a is formed through
the stem b, said passage or channel running towards the front of the pipe where
it is returned as at c and enters the bowl d. In the solid lower portion of the
bowl d, a small receptacle or chamber ƒ is formed, normally closed by a screw
plug, and from this receptacle or chamber the short passage h leads to the
central or main passage or channel a running through the stem of the pipe.
When in use, the smoke is drawn through the main passage or channel a; while
the nicotine, tobacco juices etc., by reason of their greater weight, fall through
the branch passage or channel h into the receptacle or chamber f formed in the
lower part of the pipe, from whence they can be readily removed by unscrewing
the plug g, and in this manner the pipe may be always kept sweet and clean.
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 improvements in tobacco pipes, comprising essentially the formation of
a chamber or receptacle such as fin the solid lower portion of the bowl d of the
pipe, normally closed by a screw plug such as g and communicating with the main
passage or channel a running through the stem of the pipe and leading into the said
bowl, by means of a branch passage or channel such as h, substantially as herein
described and shown with reference to the accompanying drawing, and for the
purposes specified.
