PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tobacco Pipes, Cigar and Cigarette Holders.
I, SAMUEL KEETON of Albion Terrace, Lenton in the Borough of Nottingham,
Gentleman, and JAMES WILLIAM DANBY of Osmaston Villa, in the Borough of
Nottingham; Lace Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
:-
This invention relates to the construction of tobacco pipes and the like, and it has
for its object the improved construction of such pipes so as to prevent nicotine from
passing into the mouth of the smoker.
In carrying out this invention I form the stem of the pipe, cigar or cigarette holder,
in two parts and in the bowl part of the stem I form a cavity or chamber by
enlarging the bore, the entrance to which forms a socket for the mouth-piece part.
At or near each end of this cavity and preferably in the upper part I form openings
which may be connected to each other on the outside if preferred by a tube or pas-
sage. The end of the mouth-piece fitting in the socket in the bowl part of the
stem extends into the cavity and is closed at the end but an opening is formed in
the top coinciding with the opening in the upper part of the socket which is con-
nected to the opening at the other end of the cavity by the tube.
In the cavity near the end or if desired secured to the end of the mouth-piece
part of the stem so that it may be withdrawn with it I place any suitable absorbing
material to absorb the nicotine which collects in the cavity as it cannot pass to the
mouth of the smoker. An opening may also be formed on the bottom side of that
part of the mouth piece fitting into the socket, and connected to the upper opening
by a groove or channel passing round it; this would form a cavity for the collection
of saliva and would facilitate the operation of cleaning the mouth-piece.
In a modification I form the bowl part of the stem with a cavity or chamber with
a mouth-piece with its closed end fitting therein in the same manner as hereinbefore
described; openings may be formed in preferably the top part of the bowl part and
in the mouth-piece part of the stem and the two connected by an outer preferably
metal tubing or other convenient arrangement, the tube may be provided with a
joint so as to disconnect, or it may be formed to remove altogether when it is desired
to remove the mouth-piece from the bowl part of the stem.
By the foregoing arrangements I obtain a cavity in which the nicotine is collected
and from which it cannot pass to the mouth of the smoker, an absorbing material may
also be placed in this cavity but the smoker does not have to draw the smoke through
the absorbent or filter which becomes quickly saturated and choked up and thus
stops the draught.

Improvements in Tobacco Pipes, Cigar and Cigarette Holders.
We, SAMUEL KEETON of Albion Terrace, Gentleman, and JAMES WILLIAM DANBY.
of Osmaston Villa, Lace Manufacturer, both of New Lenton in the borough of
Nottingham, 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 relates to tobacco pipes and other smoking tubes, and it has for its
object improvements in such pipes or tubes so as to give greater comfort to the user.
It will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings in which

page_text: fig. 1 is a view partly in section showing one arrangement and fig. 2 is a vertical
cross section of fig. I on line a a, figs. 3 and 4 are views partly in section showing
alternative arrangements. Fig. 5, is a vertical cross section of fig. 4 on line y y
and
figs. 6 and 7 are vertical cross sections showing modification.
A
In carrying out this invention. we forma.cavity. A in the stem B by enlarging the
bore the entrance to which forms. a socket for the mouth piece C which is formed
with the end fitting in the stem permanently closed up as in figs. 3 and 4, or for
convenience in cleaning may be fitted with a removable plug D as shown in fig. 1.
Openings are preferably formed in the top part of the stem B and in the mouth
piece C, and the two connected by an outer preferably metal tube E, with its two
ends projecting into the bore of the stem B and mouth-piece respectively as shown
in fig. 1, or it may if preferred be formed in two parts and connected by a sliding
union E as shown in fig. 1 or by other suitable means.
The openings formed in the stem B and mouth piece C to receive the tube E are
placed at a suitable distance from the closed end of the mouth piece, thus forming a
trap which allows of the passage of the smoke only and a chamber A in the stem B
and chamber F in the mouth piece C in which the nicotine and liquid from the mouth
respectively can collect and be removed from time to time. If preferred. an absorbent
material may be placed in either or both chambers.
.
In the arrangement shown in fig. 3 we form at or near each end of the cavity A
in the stem B and preferably in the upper part openings which may be connected to
each other on the outside by a tube E, the extreme end of the portion of the mouth
piece fitting in the cavity A is closed, but an opening G is formed at the top
coinciding with the opening in the stem B and into which one end of the tube E is
secured.
If preferred a groove H may be cut in a thickened part of the stem of the pipe B
(see figs. 4 and 5) extending from one opening to the other and a plate I placed over
the groove which may be secured by mounts J or other suitable means.
In some
cases the groove or recess may be formed in the plate instead of the stem as shown
in fig. 6 or the openings may be connected by an additional bore K formed in the
stem B as shown in fig. 7.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is:
1. In a pipe or smoking tube the connection of the bore of the mouth piece C to
the bore of the stem B by a tube such as E formed of two or more parts suitably
jointed together substantially as described and illustrated in figs. 1 and 2 of the
accompanying drawings.
2. In a pipe or smoking.tube the connection of the bore of the mouth piece ( to
the bore of the stem B by a tube such as E substantially as described and illustrated
in fig. 3 of the accompanying drawings.
3. In a pipe or smoking tube a mouth piece such as C with the inner end of its
bore closed and connected to the bore of the stem B by a tube such as E substantially
as described and illustrated in figs. 1, 2 and 3 of the accompanying drawings.
4. In a pipe or smoking tube a mouth piece such as with the inner end of its
bore closed and connected to the bore of the stem B by a passage such as H or K
formed wholly or partially in the stem substantially as described and illustrated in
figs. 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the accompanying drawings.
5. The construction and arrangement of parts constituting the pipes or smoking
tubes substantially as herein described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
