A NEW OR IMPROVED PROTECTION FOR SMOKING PIPES AND AGAINST NICOTINE
Year: 1885

page_text: I, WILLIAM HENRY MARSDEN NEAVE, of 71 Asline Road, Lowfield, Sheffield, in
the county of York, Clerk, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
'A NEW OR IMPROVED PROTECTION FOR SMOKING PIPES AND AGAINST NICOTINE' to
be as follows:-
A lining, preferably of stamped or wrought metal, but which could also be
made of other materials, such as china or earthenware or other suitable clay;
and made in suitable sizes and shapes to fit inside the bowls of smoking pipes.
A sewing thimble with plain sides (i.e. not indented).n
.or a miniature candle-
extinguisher with a flattened top give a fair idea of the shape of the lining, which
can be made more or less taper to suit all sorts of pipes. Looking at the flat
bottom of the lining outside there is a hole in the centre occupying only a part of
the bottom of the lining. This hole is, however, protected by the following
important feature of the invention, namely, a conical, round, or thimble-shaped
elevation or tube of small size which is placed inside the lining over the hole.
This thimble or tube fits closely over the hole and may be made of one piece with
the lining. The top of the thimble or tube is covered, but the sides or circum-
ference is perforated with small holes from near the top, part way down; and as
there is a space between the said thimble or tube and the side of the lining it
follows that the nicotine and tobacco-ashes cannot penetrate into the pipe, but
accumulate at the bottom and on the side of the lining The pipe, by means of
this lining, is therefore protected against nicotine, against being burnt and against
being clogged with dirt or other obnoxious accumulation.
The lining can be made to fit any shape or size of pipe-bowl and can be easily
cleaned by taking out and washing The tobacco is put inside the lining for
smoking. The lining may be made with or without a flange at the top or mouth.
If made with a flange the flange may point either outwardly or inwardly; and
may be made to suit any pipe the top of the bowl of which is either plain,
chamfered, or any other form. It will thus be seen that the flange may be either
useful or ornamental or both. The utility of the flange is to make the extraction
of the lining, if necessary, easier for cleaning purposes. A small semi-circular
handle, attached to the top of the lining, & when not used lying flat on half the
circumference of the pipe-bowl or flange of lining, or other suitable device, may
also be used to facilitate, when necessary, the easy extraction of the lining from the
bowl of the pipe.
It will thus be seen that this application is for a patent for a lining to fit inside
the bowls of smoking pipes and to protect them against nicotine, ashes, or other
obnoxious accumulation.

I, WILLIAM HENRY MARSDEN NEAVE, of 71 Asline Road, Lowfield, Sheffield, in
the County of York, Clerk do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
"A NEW OR IMPROVED PROTECTION FOR SMOKING PIPES AND AGAINST NICOTINE'
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
A reference to annexed drawings will also materially assist the description and
ascertainment of the said invention. It will be seen that:-Figure 1. represents
the section and shows the inside view of the lining. Fig. 2 represents outside
view.of complete lining. Fig. 3 represents sectional view of lining and of pipe in
which it may be placed. Fig 4 represents complete outward view of pipe with the
lining as shown in Fig. 2 inside. Of the letters on drawings, the letter B shows
flange or rim of lining: the letter C shows inward side of lining: the letter E
shows the perforated elevation or tube: the letter D shows the hole or hollow at
bottom of lining: the letter A shows the bowl of any pipe.
A loose lining of stamped or wrought metal, but which can also be made of other
materials, such as china or earthenware or other suitable clay; and made in
suitable sizes and shapes to fit inside the bowls of smoking pipes; and which may
be sold as a separate and distinct article apart from pipes.
A sewing thimble with plain sides (that is, not indented) gives a fair idea of the
shape of the lining, which can be made more or less taper to suit the bowls of all
sorts of pipes Looking at the bottom of the lining outside there is a hole "D" in
the centre, occupying a part, or if necessary, the whole of the bottom of the lining.
This hole is, however, protected by the following important feature of the
invention, namely, a conical, round or thin ble-shaped elevation or tube, "E,” of
small size, which is placed inside the lining over the hole "D." This thimble or
tube fits closely over the hole and may be made of one piece with the lining, or in
other suitable manner. The side or circumference is perforated with small holes
from near the top of this small inner tube, part way down; and, as there is a space
between the said thimble, "E," and the inner side of the lining, "C," it follows
that the tobacco ashes, and to a certain degree also the nicotine, cannot penetrate
into the pipe, but accumulate at the bottom or on the side of the lining. The pipe,
by means of this lining, is, therefore, protected against nicotine, against being
burnt, and against being clogged with dirt or other obnoxious accumulation.
Another important feature of the invention is the looseness and separateness of
the lining in that it can be sold quite apart from pipes as a separate and distinct
article of wholesale and retail commerce, such linings as have hitherto been made
(all of which are different in principle from the one herein described) being
manufactured for and sold with certain special pipes, and not, like this one, to be
used for all pipes alike. An important feature of the invention also in connection
with the linings, when made in earthenware, china, or other suitable clays, is that
they may be glazed inside and outside, which prevents the nicotine from striking
through the body of the lining and dirtying it, and renders the cleaning or washing
of it easier.

page_text: The lining may be made to fit any shape or size of pipe-bowl and may be easily
cleaned by being taken out and washed. The tobacco is put inside the lining for
smoking. The lining may be made with or without a flange at the top or mouth.
If made with a flange, the flange may point either outwardly or inwardly and may
be made to suit any pipe the top of the bowl of which is either plain, chamfered,
or any other form. It will thus be seen that the flange may be either useful or
ornamental or both. The utility of the flange is to make the extraction of the
lining, if necessary, easier for cleaning purposes and also to protect the top of the
pipe-bowl
The lining may, when desired, be made with a lid or cover.
A small semi-circular handle attached to the top of the lining and, when not
used, lying flat on half the circumference of the pipe-bowl or flange of lining, or
other suitable device may also be used to facilitate, when necessary, the easy
extraction of the lining from the bowl of the pipe.
A small ring of cork or india-rubber or other suitable substance, may, when
necessary, be put round the lining outside to ensure an air-tight fit; or, if the
lining should fit loosely, a little paper wrapped round would answer the same
purpose as a cork washer.
If the linings are made in metal they may be either wrought by hand, stamped
by machinery or spun; if made in earthenware or other clays they may be either
made in moulds or turned or in other suitable manner. When made of a glazed
clay, the glazing may be done in the same manner as the glazing of ordinary
earthenware table services.
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
I claim is
+
1. A patent for a loose lining to fit inside the bowls of smoking pipes in general,
2. which lining may be sold as a separate and distinct article to itself apart from
any particular pipes;
3. and which, by means of itself, and of the perforated inner elevation or
thimble "E," and of the glazing, will protect the pipe in which it may be placed
against nicotine, ashes, or other obnoxious accumulation, in the manner described
above.
