Complete Specification Accepted, 21st Sept., 1888
The pipe is so constructed that it is an utter impossibility for nicotine to get into
the mouth, or saliva to get into the smoke way or bore of the pipe.
The pipe can be made in any of the materials used in pipe making & the improved
parts also. The bowl of the pipe marked A. is made with a hole about 8" or thereby
right through the bottom of it, the piece marked B. is hollow & conical at the
top, the piece marked C. is fitted with a concave shield to cover the coned piece B.
i.c. B. & C. can be made in seperate parts & fitted together or made in one piece
if desired. D. is a small tube which passes right thro' B. & C. an airtight joint being
made at top & bottom resply.-The air being drawn in at the bottom of D.
which passes thro' B & C. & projects above same to within about 16" or thereby
of cover G. the air being thus led into the bowl & right on to the top of the tobacco
it is then drawn up the two holes marked N. N. resply. it then travels a quarter turn
round the cutting or groove marked E. & then ascends up the holes marked H. H
resply. it is then drawn down the centre hole marked Q. passing into the bore
marked F. then along to the drop piece marked R. which can be made of any size &
shape for example like II. III IV & V. & with or without a cheque valve as
shewn in Figure II. M. being the smoke way. L. is the valve & K. is a small
screwed plug.
Figure VI shews the absorber rounded on the top instead of being flat, as shewn
in Figure I. the smoke being drawn down between the outside of same & the inside
walls of the bowl, then travelling one quarter turn round the groove & then decending
as shewn & described in Figure I with the exception that the absorber does not go
thro' the bottom of the bowl, and in the centre of the absorber stands an upright
tube about 3" or thereby long or high. The space or cavity surrounding said tube,
prevents or traps the nicotine or dust from decending into the stem or bore of the pipe,
the upright tube can be used in any of the absorbers shewn in the drawing irrespectave
of size or shape.

page_text: Figure VII shews the absorber as already shewn & described in Figure I but with
the same exception as Figure VI viz. that it does not go thro' the bottom of
the bowl.
Figures VIII. & IX shews the absorber as already described in Figure I with
the exception that they are rounded on the top instead of being flat with holes,
the smoke being drawn down between the walls of the bowl & the outside of the
absorber.
The drop pieces for the mouth piece or stem of the pipes can be made in seperate
parts & fitted to any pipe now in use. The nicotine absorbers as already shewn &
described can also be made & fitted to suit any pipe at present in use, they can be both
used together or seperate as desired & in like manner applied to the manufacture of
new pipes also.
The upright tube in the mouth, piece prevents the saliva from getting into the bore
or stem of the pipe, and answers also for preventing the pipe from dropping out of
the mouth. The absorbers when they get saturated with nicotine can be either
cleaned or discarded or replaced at a very small cost, for example if made in clay at
one penny each.

page_text: WILLIAM FRASER, Engineer 49 Oxford Road Finsbury Park, London, N. 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 the construction of Tobacco Pipes, the
object being to prevent nicotine from coming in contact with the mouth & also to
prevent saliva from passing from the mouth into the pipe.
To obtain these results I construct the mouth piece as shewn in Figure I on drawing
which prevents the siliva from ascending the upright tube in the mouth piece &
afterwards decending into the bowl of the pipe.
The absorber shewn in the bowl being so constructed, (being made of a porus
material either clay or any other suitable material) that the nicotine is trapped &
ultimately absorbed, and therefore never finds its way into the bowl of the pipe. The
absorber when thoroughly saturated with nicotine can be replaced with a new one,
the siliva never being allowed to get into the stem of the pipe being prevented by the
drop piece at the end of the mouth picce. The nicotine produced in the bowl of the
pipe when there is no siliva allowed to come in contact with the tobacco is very small
&is absorbed by the absorber as already mentioned.
Figure I represents in front elevation a pipe constructed according to my Invention,
either of the various drop or mouth pieces can be applied & used as can also the
various absorbers shewn Figure 1. The bowl of the pipe marked A. is made with a
hole about " or thereby right thro' the bottom of same. The piece marked B. is
hollow & conical at the top the piece marked C. is fitted with a concave shield to cover
the coned part B. & fits into the hole thro' same, the smoke is drawn in between the
shield C& the piece B. i.e. C is a little less in diameter than the bore or hole in the
bowl of the pipe, & the smoke is drawn down between & the inside of B. or C. & B.
may be caused to fit tight & the smoke may be drawn thro' suitable sized holes either
at an angle or otherwise into the recess E.
B. & C. can be made in seperate parts & fitted together or made in one piece if
desired. D. is a small tube which passes right thro' B & C. an air tight joint being
made at top & bottom.respectavely the air being drawn in at the bottom of D. which
passes thro B & C. & projects above same to within about" or thereby of
cover G. the air being thus led into the bowl & right on to the top of the Tobacco, it
is then drawn down the two holos marked U. U respectively it then travels a quarter
turn round the cutting or groove marked E. & then ascends up the holes
marked H. H. respectively it is then drawn down the centre hole marked Q. passing
into the bore marked F. then along to the drop piece marked R. which can be made
of any size or shape for example like II III IV & V. & with or without a
check valve as shewn in Figure II, M being the smoke way, L. is the valve, & K
is a small screwed plug.
Figure VI shews the absorber in the bowl of the pipe rounded on the top instead of
being flat as shewn in Figure I the smoke being drawn down between the outside of
that part of the absorber marked C. & the inside walls of the bowl A of the pipe, then
travelling one quarter turn round the groove E & ascending h. h. resply, and then
decending 7, as shewn & described in Figure I with the exception that this absorber
does not go thro' the bottom of the bowl A, & the tube D. being dispensed with. In

page_text: the centre of the absorber stands an upright tube S about 3" or thereby long (or high)
the open space surrounding said tube prevents or traps the nicotine from decending
into the stem or bore of the pipe.
The upright tube S can be used in any of the absorbers shewn on the drawing
irrespectave of size or shape.
Figure VII. shews the absorber as already shewn & described in Figure I & having
the same letters of reference, but with the same exception as Figure VI viz. that it
does not go thro' the bottom of the bowl A. & the upright tube D. being also
dispensed with.
Figure VIII & IX. shews the absorbers as already described in Figure I with the
.exception that they are rounded on the top instead of being flat, with holes marked U. U.
resply. as shewn in Figure I the smoke being drawn down between the walls of the
bowl marked A. and the outside of the part marked C.
The drop piece of the mouth piece or stem of the pipe, can be made in seperate
parts & fitted to any pipe now in use. The nicotine absorbers as already shewn &
described can also be made & fitted to suit any pipe at present in use they can be
both used together or seperate as desired & in like manner applied to the manufacture
of new pipes also.
The upright tube in the mouth piece prevents the siliva from getting into the bore
or stem of the pipe and answers also for preventing the pipe from dropping out of the
mouth.
The absorbers in the bowl of the pipe when they get saturated with nicotine can be
either cleaned or discarded or replaced at very small cost.
The centre of the absorber has a small upright tube fitted into the bottom end of it
which projects to within an " or thereby from the top part of it.
The space between the outside walls of the tube & the inside walls or interior of the
absorber being utilised for trapping & retaining the nicotine.
CLAIMS.
First, in having a mouth or drop piece with an upright hole either straight, or at
any desired angle, communicating with the bore the stem or shank of a pipe for the
purpose, of preventing siliva or liquid from ascending from the mouth to the bore
or smoke way of a pipe as shewn in Figure I for the purpose already described &
set forth.
Second, in having a mouth or drop piece with or without a check valve as shewn
in Figures II. III. IV & V. for the purpose already described & set forth.
Third, in having a plug or nicotine absorber in the bottom of the bowl of a pipe
with a shield or top-piece C. either flat or rounded on the top side & concave or any
other suitable shape at the bottom side; with two or more holes thro' same for the
purpose of conveying the smoke into recess E. or to be made of a suitable size to
allow the smoke to be drawn down between C. & the inside of A. or bowl of the pipe
or other suitable smoke passages holes or recesses as marked U. U. H. H. & Q.
respectavely with a centre tube D. for the purpose described & set forth.
Fourth, in having nicotine absorbers as shewn in figures VI. & VII for the purpose
of putting into any ordinary pipe now in use for the purpose already described &
set forth.
Fifth, in having absorbers as shewn in Figures VIII & IX for the purpose already
described & set forth.
And lastly, in having a tobacco pipe with drop piece & absorber combined either
with the absorber' resting in the bottom of the bowl of the pipe, or projecting thro'
the bottom of the bowl as substantially set forth.
