A. Novel Construction or Arrangement of Pipe for Smoking.
I WILHELM BENJAMIN HAAS of 6 Castlo Street, Falcon Square, city of London,
Pipe Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
The object of this invention is a new construction of reservoir pipe and consists
essentially of the application or employment of a tube or stem and mouthpiece
formed of one single piece, the stem portion passing through the bottom of the bowl
from one side to the other without any screw or joint whatever, excepting at the
nicotine reservoir which consolidates the whole together by fitting on to that end of
the tube or stem which is opposite to that forming the mouthpiece.
In order that the invention may be clearly understood I have shown the con-
struction in the annexed drawings but merely by way of example and by reference
to the drawings in the following description.
Figure 1 shows the general arrangement of this simple combined stem and mouth-
piece a and nicotine reservoir f.
Figure 2 shows an exterior view of the bowl c and its bottom piece b.
Figure 3 shows a pipe in which my invention is affixed, also the nicotine
reservoir.
In all the Figures the same letters of reference denote the same parts.
It will be seen in these drawings that the whole of the construction or system of
the pipe consists in a single tube or stem a Figure 1, the part of said tube which
passes through the tube or bottom piece b of the bowl c is slightly conical or tapered.
The stem or tube a has a hole d at that portion of its length corresponding with the
hole c in the bowl so that the two holes will come opposite each other for the passage
of the smoke.
It will be observed that as the bottom piece b of the bowl is of uniform diameter
throughout its length whilst the tube a is tapered it is not necessary that the holes d
and e should exactly correspond to ensure the free draw of the pipe; and in Figure 3
is shown more clearly that surrounding the tube or stem a is a free space or chamber
by which communication between the two holes is always ensured.

page_text: The tube a is fixed by friction it is sufficiently long to pass out a certain length
beyond the bottom piece of the bowl c and is screw threaded on the exterior for the
reception or affixture of the nicotine reservoir f which is screwed on to the projecting
end of the tube or stem a and forms a watertight joint.
I have referred to the stem a and the mouthpiece as composed of a single piece
but the projecting portion of the stem may if desired, have a detachable mouthpiece
and form a continuation of the stem a, the stem a being inserted into the bottom
piece of the bowl c and held by friction and by the nicotine reservoir fas previously
described.
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
1 claim is :-
1. The construction (system) of reservoir pipe, in which the chief feature is, the
long tube or stem a and mouthpiece as a single piece, the stem passing through the
bottom piece of the bowl e and fixed or held simply by the screw of the nicotine
reservoir f, substantially as above described with reference to the example shown in
the annexed drawings.
2. The tapered yet hollow stem a with mouthpiece as part of same or affixable
thereto and its application as set forth to a reservoir pipe used for smoking.
