Improvements in Tobacco-pipes and Cigar and Cigarette Holders.
We, GUSTAV STRESEMANN, Tinman, Mariahilfer-strasse 108, and PAUL
BRAUN, Manufacturer, Mariahilfer-strasse 117, both of Vienna, in the Austrian
Empire, do hereby declare the nature of our 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 the invention represented in the accompanying drawing is to
manufacture tobacco pipes and cigar tubes at a very cheap price the same being
unbreakable pleasant and cool in smoking and readily kept clean.
These objects are attained by employing water reservoirs of appropriate size
which communicate with the bowl or holder by means of a small tube and by using
preferably metallic heads with novel air feed.
Fig. 1 is a section of a metallic pipe.
Figs. 2 and 3 represent the section of a pipe and cigar tube with metallic water
reservoir to and bowl k with suitable lining, or the bowl can be made of the
customary material.
Fig. 4 is the section of a metallic pipe with wooden bowl k and novel cover d.
Fig. 5 is the section of the bowl of a pipe with air feed.
Figs. 6 and 7 represent the application of channels or grooves f in the bowl.
Fig. 8 represents the construction of the cover d.
The aforenamed pipes consist either entirely of metal with lining n or inserted
bowl e or the water reservoir to can be made of metal and the bowl of wood or
other suitable material.
The water reservoir or receptacle w is so arranged that the juice produced in
smoking is deposited in the same and can only escape when desired.
For this purpose the upper part of the water reservoir is closed by a metallic
cover b or can be closed by the bottom of the bowl the communication between the
bowl and the water reservoir being maintained by one or more small tubes r.

When wooden or
The pipe stem p is also provided with a tube so that even when the pipe is
laid down or inverted the juice can neither flow into the bowl k or stem
be readily removed and the pipe cleaned by detaching the stem.
other bowls are used the connection with the water reservoir can be made by
binding the metal on to the bowl or the parts may be connected by means of cement
or can be screwed together.
If metallic bowls are used the same must either be lined with non conducting
material or a bowl e of suitable material inserted in the metallic bowl.
Fig. 1 represents a metallic head with lining of non conducting material.
Figs. 5, 6 and 7 represent inserted bowls e. These inserted bowls e are either in
contact with the metallic sheathing m or a space can be left between bowl e and
sheathing m for the air feed, or the bowls can be in contact with the sheathing and
contain grooves or channels f, which are open at the top and communicate at their
lower ends with orifices in the sheathing m, so that air flows in at i, Fig. 5,
ascends between the walls of the sheathing and the bowl, and escapes into the bowl k
through the orifices or slots i¹ from whence the same passes through the water
reservoir into the mouth of the smoker. In this manner the pipe is cooled and one
can smoke even when the lid is hermetically closed thus rendering the pipe firesafe
the same being also unbreakable, light, and all parts readily accessible for cleaning.
The arrangement of the lid or cover is such, that the ring d' attached to the
bowl or sheathing, is provided with two recesses, the distance between which
corresponds with the breadth of the middle part c of the hinge, the two parts c¹ c¹
of the hinge being pressed up out of the material of the hinge whilst the lid or

page_text: cover d possesses a projection which when rolled up forms the corresponding part
of the hinge.
When these parts are put together and a suitable pin inserted the connection is
finished.
This arrangement possesses the advantage that the parts c¹ c¹ can be arranged on
a circle which is not possible with the ordinary mode of manufacture. By perforating
the lid d and turning a disc d' with corresponding perforations arranged on the said
lid the perforations in d can be partially or wholly opened and closed and the feed
of air to the tobacco be regulated.
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 and desire to secure by Letters Patent is :-
In tobacco pipes or cigar tubes :
1.) The manufacture and application of metallic water reservoirs w with metal
covers 6 which close the upper end of the reservoir in combination with pipe bowls k
of metal, lined with non conducting material n or with bowls k of wood or other
suitable material said parts communicating with each other by means of small
tubes projecting into the water reservoir, substantially as described.
2.) In pipes of the kind described in Claim 1, the arrangement of inserted bowls e
which are not in contact with the metallic bowl or sheathing or which are in contact
with the latter but provided with grooves or channels f in such manner that air can
circulate between the outer surface of the inserted bowl e and the inner surface m
of the sheathing, substantially as described.
3.) The arrangement of air inlets i i at the lower part of the cylindrical space or
the canals between the sheathing m and inserted bowl e and air outlets at the
upper part so that the air entering at i passes through the hollow space into the
bowl of the pipe, substantially as described.
4.) The application of covers d with hinge part c and parts c¹ c¹ pressed up out
of the material itself at a distance corresponding with the breadth of the hinge lug
so that a straight or bent pin inserted through the lug c will connect the said parts,
substantially as described.
5.) The arrangement of rotary discs d' on the lids d of tobacco pipes for closing
and opening the corresponding perforations, substantially as described.
6.) The combination of the details represented in Figs. 1 to 4, substantially as
described.
