I, FRANK WEAVER, of 71, Whiteladies Road, Redland, in the City and County
of Bristol, Dentist, 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 consists in improvements in tobacco pipes and cigar and cigarette
holders whereby the essential oil or nicotine from the tobacco is discharged by a
duct or tube into a funnel fitted below or beyond the bowl of a tobacco pipe or
the socket which in some classes of cigar and cigarette holders corresponds to the
bowl of a tobacco pipe. The duct through which the nicotine is discharged, as
aforesaid, is independent of and separate from the channel in the stem through
which the smoke is drawn by the smoker. The saliva which descends the channel
of the stem is received into the same funnel as the nicotine. The nicotine and
saliva escape through the funnel into a cup or reservoir which encloses the funnel.
The funnel is so shaped and disposed as to obstruct the return of such nicotine and
saliva as have passed beyond it from the ducts. The cup or reservoir which finally
receives the nicotine and saliva may be readily removed for cleansing or other
purpose.
There being no direct communication between the nicotine duct and the channel
in the stem, nicotine is not drawn into the smoker's mouth, and, as no accumu-
lation of nicotine can occur in the bowl, n
, no unpleasant taste from burning thereof
arises.
Referring to the accompanying drawing, which represents a longitudinal section
of a tobacco pipe constructed in accordance with this invention, the essential oil or
nicotine from the tobacco in the bowl is led by the duct or tube a into the funnel c.
Saliva descending the channel b passes through the tube or duct e into the said
funnel c. The ducts or tubes a and e are separate from one another. They project
into the funnel c, as shown, so that the return of any nicotine and moisture which
may not have passed through the funnel is obstructed. The funnel is so arranged
that when the pipe is in use the lower side of the conical portion of the funnel c
will be approximately horizontal, so that nicotine and saliva shall readily flow out
and shall not be retained in it.
Enclosing the funnel c is a cup or reservoir d into which the nicotine and saliva
are finally received from the funnel. Return of the nicotine and saliva is obstructed

page_text: by the funnel which is shaped and disposed accordingly. The cup or reservoir d
is readily removable for cleansing or other purpose; and it is to be understood that
it should be removed and emptied of its contents as often as may be necessary to
prevent an accumulation sufficient to cause a back flow of the contents through
the small orifice of the funnel c.
•
It will be seen that there is no direct communication between the ducts or
tubes a and e and, consequently, that nicotine from the bowl cannot be drawn into
a smoker's mouth. Nicotine cannot accumulate at the bottom of the bowl and
hence any disagreeable taste due to burning of nicotine is obviated.
The improvements above described as applied to a tobacco pipe may be applied
also to that class of cigar and cigarette holders in which there is a socket for
holding a cigar or cigarette corresponding to the bowl of the pipe represented in
the drawing.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is -
1. In a tobacco pipe, or a cigar or cigarette holder having a socket corresponding
to the bowl of a tobacco pipe, providing a duct or tube for conducting the essential
oil or nicotine of the tobacco from the bowl or socket, this duct or tube being
separate from the channel by which the smoke is inhaled, and the arrangement
being substantially such as described with reference to and shown in the accom-
panying drawing.
2. In a tobacco pipe, or a cigar or cigarette holder having a socket corresponding
to the bowl of a tobacco pipe, providing separate ducts or tubes such as a and e
for discharging the nicotine and saliva respectively these ducts or tubes being made
to project into a funnel such as c and the arrangement being such that the return
of nicotine or saliva or both delivered by the ducts or tubes into such vessel is
obstructed, substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to and shewn in
the accompanying drawing.
3. In a tobacco pipe, or a cigar or cigarette holder having a socket corresponding
to the bowl of a tobacco-pipe, the employment of a funnel such as c shaped and
disposed substantially as shewn in the accompanying drawing so as to obstruct the
return of nicotine or nicotine and saliva which has or have passed through it into
a cup or reservoir such as d, as hereinbefore described.
4. In a tobacco pipe, or a cigar or cigarette holder having a socket corresponding
to the bowl of a tobacco pipe, the combination of a duct or tube such as a for
discharge of nicotine, a separate duct or tube such as e for inhaling smoke and
discharging saliva, a funnel c or equivalent vessel into and through which nicotine
and saliva are discharged, and a cup or reservoir into which the nicotine and saliva
are received from the funnel, as herein before described with reference to and shewn
in the drawing hereto annexed.
