IMPROVEMENTS IN PIPES FOR SMOKING TOBACCO AND IN ROLLS OF TOBACCO TO BE USED THERE- WITH
Year: 1885

page_text: Tobacco to be Used therewith.
I JOHN ROSE of Oldenburg Cottage Tunbridge Wells in the County of Kent
Insurance Broker do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN PIPES FOR SMOKING TOBACCO AND IN ROLLS OF TOBACCO TO BE USED THERE-
WITH " and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :―
.
With tobacco pipes of ordinary construction the tobacco placed within the lower
part of the bowl of the pipe usually becomes foul and sodden as the pipe is smoked
so that the combustion of the tobacco at the end of a pipe is very imperfect.
The
object of my invention is to maintain perfect combustion of the tobacco from
first to last by giving 'free access of air to it during the whole time that it is
burning.
For this purpose I make the bowl of a pipe with a number of perforations or
slots formed through its sides as represented in Figure 1 of the drawings hereunto
annexed or I form the upper part of the bowl of the pipe of a number of bars at a
distance apart from one another and secured at top and bottom to rings of metal or
other suitable material as shewn at Figure 2-and I make up charges of tobacco
to be smoked in such pipes in short cylindrical rolls enveloped in paper or any other
substance so that they resemble somewhat the paper cartridges formerly used for
holding a charge of powder for a muzzle loading gun or rifle as shown at Figure 3.
One end of the cylindrical roll is to be pressed into the lower part of the bowl so
as to make it fit firmly therein and the roll is lighted at its other end. As the
tobacco is consumed the paper envelope consumes slowly away with it just as an
ordinary cigarette and the combustion of the tobacco is perfect from first to last
just as the combustion is perfect in an ordinary pipe at the time when it is first
lighted.
The bowls of the pipes may either be made as shown with a short conical
projection to fit into a tubular stem of paper or other absorbent material as shewa
at Figure 1 and as is described in the Specification lodged by me with an application
for Patent No 13427 in the year 1884 or may be otherwise formed either with a
stem in one piece with it or to be otherwise attached to a separate stem.

page_text: In place of the cartridge of tobacco being placed into a bowl such as shown at
Figures 1 and 2 it might be made up with a plug of cork or other suitable material
at the base as shewn at Figure 4. Such plug having a central hole through it so
that it may be pressed on to the end of a small nipple formed at the end of a
pipe stem as shewn at Figure 5 and the cartridge be smoked whilst held on to this
nipple.
The nipple may either be made to project from a small block formed with a
conical projection at the back to fit into the end of a stem of paper or other absorbent
material or the nipple block and stem may all be formed in one piece or connected
together in other ways.
The paper envelope is made to extend over the sides of the plug of cork 'so that
the two are securely connected together.
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). Forming the bowls of tobacco pipes with perforations through their sides or
with an openwork top to render, them suitable for rolls or cartridges of tobacco
enveloped in paper or any other substance to be smoked in them substantially as
described.
(2). Forming tobacco pipes of a stem with a small nipple at its end for a roll or
cartridge of tobacco to be placed on to substantially as described.
(3). Forming rolls or cartridges of tobacco substantially as described with
reference to Figure 4.
