COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Device Applicable to Tobacco Pipes for.
Extracting the Nicotine therefrom.
I, EDWARD REES 9 Northcote Street Cardiff Commission agent and Merchant,
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:
My invention relates to a new or improved device applicable to tobacco pipes,
for collecting, pumping, or exhausting, and storing, for the purpose of being subse-
quently dispersed or discharged outwardly, the tobacco juico or nicotine formed in
the bowl of the pipe dropping in the bore thereof.
According to my invention any suitable pipe may be furnished with such a device,
the pipe being first provided with an ordinary perforated plug through which the
tobacco juice or nicotine passes as usual into the well or space formed between the
underside of the perforated plug, and the lower part of the bowl, collecting therein
until drawn into the bore of the pipe-by the sucking action of the smokers
mouth.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood I have shewn the
same in the accompanying drawing in which Figure 1 is a longitudinal section, and
Figure 2 a side view of a tobacco pipe furnished with my improved nicotine
extracting device.
Figure 3 is a section of the latter drawn at an enlarged scale.
My improved nicotine extractor consists of a small tapered tube T of silver,
nickle, or any other suitable metal open at both ends and tapped at its widest and
outer end to receive a spherical screw cap or plug P. provided with a rectangular
air or outlet passage P.
Within this tube T is placed a ball B which is free to move between the inner
flange or depressed circular edge e formed on the smaller end of the tapered tube T,
and a cross pin a fixed inside the latter tube. C is an ordinary perforated plug
placed in the pipe A. The pipe A which may be of any ordinary construction has its
bowl perforated at for the purpose of inserting therein the nicotine extractor T
which is shown in position in Figure 1.
The motion of ball B caused by the sucking or drawing action of the smoker's
mouth has for its object to exhaust the tobacco juice falling at M and to convey it to
be discharged outside through the device, whenever the smoker blows through the
pipe, for that purpose after having previously unscrewed the cap P.
Owing to the ball closing the aperture e the tobacco juice cannot possibly return
to the smokers mouth.
Should a larger quantity of tobacco juice be formed than can be exhausted by the
ball valve B, the smoker need only blow through the pipe when the extractor will
receive and retain the said juice ready to be subsequently discharged.
My improved nicotine extracting device can be easily withdrawn and cleaned when
required by means of a little warm water.
As my improvements are capable of some modifications without departing from the
principle thereof I do not restrict myself to material, dimensions, or to the precise
form or placement of the several parts thereof.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
In combination with tobacco pipes the use of a nicotine extracting device arranged,
constructed and operating substantially and for the purpose described.
Dated this 17th day of December 1889.
