An Improved Appliance for use in Smoking Tobacco.
1, FREDERICK WOOLWAY, formerly of 5 Frederick Place, Clifton, in the City
and County of Bristol, and now of Cambridge Villa, Cambridge Road, Moseley,
Birmingham, in the County of Warwick, Cider Merchant, 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 an appliance for use in smoking tobacco, which
appliance is a tubular case of metal, wood, or other suitable substance. The
case is divided longitudinally, the two sections into which it is so divided being
hinged or otherwise attached to one another.
The case is designed to be charged with tobacco, and for this purpose it is
opened when required and the tobacco placed in the two sections which are then
closed on one another and clasped or otherwise secured together. The appliance is
then ready for smoking.
The mouth-piece end is tapered or otherwise conveniently shaped, and between
the outer end thereof and the tobacco chamber is a chamber designed to contain
cotton wool or other medium suitable for absorbing nicotine.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings,
Fig. 1 represents a longitudinal view and Fig. 2 an end view of the tube for
smoking tobacco in which this invention consists.
In Fig. 1 the appliance is shewn opened, and in Fig. 2 it is shewn closed.
The appliance consists of two sections a, a hinged together as at b, or in any
other suitable manner. The sections are secured when closed by spring clasps c or
by any other suitable device. Towards the mouth-piece end a piece of cotton
.

page_text: wool d or other filtering medium may be placed to absorb nicotine. A chamber
or recess may be made to receive such filtering medium. After the tobacco has
been smoked the appliance is opened for cleansing or for re-charging.
Under a modification the mouth-piece is made separately from the divided tube
and in that case the mouth-piece need not be divided longitudinally.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim is :-
1. An improved appliance for use in smoking tobacco, consisting of a tube of
metal or other suitable substance, said tube being divided longitudinally, the divided
sections being hinged to each other and fitted with clasps or their equivalents to
hold the sections together when closed, substantially as herein before described.
2. The modification in which the mouth-piece is made separately from the
divided tube as hereinbefore described.
3. The provision in a divided tube for smoking tobacco of a piece of cotton.
wool, or the like, placed towards the mouth-piece end of the tube and behind the
tobacco so as to intercept nicotine and prevent its passage to the smoker's mouth.
