Improvements in Tobacco-pipes.
I, EMILE VUILLARD Junr., of Saint-Claude, Jura, in the Republic of France,
Manufacturer of Tobacco-pipes, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
This invention relates to a tobacco-pipe, wherein the bowl of the pipe is forme l
in two parts united either by a screw or joint or by other suitable mean;
consisting of two smooth surfaces of the same diameter, put together so as to form
a tight joint by adhesion, after the manner of a spigot and faucet. The bottom of
the bowl is movable and is placed between the two parts of the bowl forming the
joint. This bottom consists in a perforated disc of any refractory matter, such as
mica, asbestos, copper, nickel, German-silver or some other metal. The body of
the pipe is connected in the customary manner with the stem leading to the orifice
at the mouth of the smoker or with a stem to which is attached, by means of a
screw or of a spigot and faucet joint the end of the mouthpiece.
The upper part of the bowl or combustion chamber of the pipe which is united
to the body by a screw-thread, is detachable, so that it may be taken off, the
perforated grating or bottom removed, its holes cleared out, as also the hollow
part of the body, and finally the barrel of the stem effectually cleaned, as well as
the mouthpiece.
I may place in the hollow body of the pipe below the grating some spongy
material capable of absorbing the nicotine and tobacco-juice.
The stem may consist of two or more pipe-perforations or bores.

Improvements in Tobacco-pipes.
I, EMILE VUILLARD Junr., of Saint-Claude, Jura, in the Republic of France,
Manufacturer of Tobacco-pipes 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 a tobacco-pipe, wherein the bowl of the pipe is formed
or provided with a movable perforated disc as shown in the accompanying drawing
in which ;-
-
Fig. 1 is an external elevation ;
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section, showing the pipe-bowl screwed to the stem ;
Fig. 3 is a view of the pipe, partly in elevation and partly in section, showing
the bowl fitted on the end of the stem by means of a taper joint, and
Fig. 4 is a plan of the movable perforated bottom.
Throughout the drawings like reference letters indicate like parts.
In this pipe, the bowl is formed of two parts b and c united by a screw-thread /
(Fig. 2) or by a joint consisting of two cylindrical or slightly tapering surfaces *

page_text: (Fig. 3) so as to form a tight joint by adhesion after the manner of a spigot and
socket. The perforated bottom d (Figs. 2, 3, 4) of the part c of the bowl is
movable placed between the two parts b and c of the bowl, at the part where the
joint is formed; and it is constituted by a perforated disc d (Fig. 4) of any incom-
bustible or refractory material 'such as mica, asbestos, copper, nickel, German-silver,
aluminium or other metal.
The part of the pipe-body is formed in the ordinary manner in one piece with
the stem leading to the orifice e at the mouth of the smoker, or with a stem to
which is attached, by means of a screw or of a spigot and socket joint (like d), the
end of the mouthpiece a, of any desired and suitable form, convenient for the mouth
of the smoker.
The upper part of the bowl or combustion chamber of the pipe which as before
described is united to the body b by a screw-thread 6' (Fig. 2), or coned joint b¹
(Fig. 3) is detachable, so that it may be taken off, the perforated grating or
bottom removed, its holes cleared out, as also the hollow part of the body b, and
- finally the passage through the stem effectually cleaned, as well as the mouth-
-piece a.
I may place in the hollow body b of the pipe below the grating d any suitable
spongy material capable of absorbing the nicotine and tobacco-juice.
The stem may be formed with two or more longitudinal passages or bores.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is ;-
1. A pipe for smokers wherein the bowl is divided into two parts one above the
other joined together by a screw slightly conical or other joint and between these
two parts at the joint is located a movable perforated bottom made of refractory
or incombustible material such as mica, asbestos or of metal such as copper nickel
German-silver aluminium or other metal substantially as described and illustrated
in the accompanying drawings.
'
2. The combination and arrangement of parts constituting the complete pipe for
smoker substantially as and for the purposes described and illustrated in the
accompanying drawings.
