An Improved Tobacco Pipe.
JOHN HEAD RAVEN, Commercial Traveller, 24, Narford Road, Upper Clapton,
London, N.E., 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 :-
An improved tobacco pipe in which is inserted a conical tube containing an
absorber extending the whole length of the pipe stem from the mouth piece to
inside the bowl as shown in the drawing.
The first use of the conical tube is to prevent the nicotine or moisture from the
tobacco coming into contact with the lips. The smoke from the bowl travels round
the tube depositing the nicotine or moisture from the tobacco on the outside of the
tube the smoke only passing through the two draught holes of the tube to the
mouth piece and then to the lips.
The second use of the tube is to receive from the lips all the moisture or saliva
direct to the absorber where it is partialy evaporated by the heat from the
bowl.
The mouth piece is specially designed to hold the conical tube in its proper
position in stem of pipe and to prevent all moisture from the lips entering the
stem of pipe or come into contact with the tobacco at the bowl.
It is therefore impossible for the moisture from the tobacco to come into contact
with the lips or the moisture from the lips to come into contact with the
tobacco.
By this arrangement a clean dry smoking pipe is assured.
The above description is fully shown in the drawing, viz. :—

The pipe can be smoked with or without the absorber.
The sectional drawing is enlarged to fully shew the various parts and construction
of the pipe.
The smoke from bowl H, passes through smoke chamber G, G, circulates round
inside tube E through the draught holes C, C, through mouth piece A, B, to the lips.
The moisture from the lips is conveyed through mouth piece A, B, to the wet
chamber D, thence to the absorber F, enclosed in the inside tube E.
Inside tube E, is inserted into the mouth piece A, B, but is removable.
The draught holes C, C, opon into the inside tubo E.
