PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Tobacco Pipe.
1. ALBERT MANGE, of Champagney, in the Republic of France, Bookseller, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention refers to the construction of a pipe which shall unite the
advantages of those now in use and yet have an immense superiority over any at
present known.
My improved pipe is composed of six pieces which fit together, and of which
I will successively describe the various functions. The first part is the removable
bowl, consisting of an annular rim, and a circular bottom connected by three
vertical bars.
Above the annular rim is a small annular ring furnished with three retaining
claws and attached to the said rim by a bayonet joint. The next part is a spiral
spring over which is placed a small perforated cap. This spring serves to push
the tobacco upwards as it is consumed. To put these parts together, the cap is
placed on the spiral spring which is then introduced into the bowl above mentioned.
The small annular ring is then fastened in its place on the top of the said
removable bowl. These parts being now all fastened together into one piece, are
introduced into the outer bowl to which the stem of the pipe is attached, and are
kept in place by means of a horizontal spring, fixed to the outer bowl pressing on the
top annular ring of the removable bowl, without hindering its rotary movement.
The one great advantage of this inner bowl is that the sinoke is not drawn through
the plug of tobacco as in ordinary pipes, but is drawn straight from the burning
part thus preventing the tobacco from being saturated with the dampness and
nicotine of the consuming tobacco.
It prevents also that collection of sediment found in old pipes which is detri-
mental to the flavor of the smoke, the quality of the tobacco, and the health of the
sinoker.
The upper parts of this pipe can be made of some white non-corrosive metal but
lower part is preferably made partly of crystal to enable the smoker to watch the
various stages of combustion.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Tobacco Pipe.
1. ALBERT MANGE, of Champagney, in the Republic of France, Bookseller, 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:-
Some of the parts of the pipe which forms the subject of the present invention
exist already in many known combinations, therefore it is only the arrangement,
disposition and new application combined with the invention of new devices con-
stituting my improved pipe that I desire to protect as my entire and exclusive
property.
My principal object is the construction of a pipe which, whilst embodying the
advantages of these known at the present time will be found greatly superior
theroto

Fig. 1 is an elevation of the complete pipe;
Fig. 2 a vertical section thereof without the stem.
Figs. 3, 4, 5, and 6 are details of the different parts detached.
Fig. 7 represents a top plan of the closing of the bayonet joint.
Fig. 8 represents the same parts in the position of engagement or release.
Fig. 9 shows an underside view of the spring D which is engaged with the
11
mount b, and
Fig. 10 is a view of the said spring D seen from the point of the pipe at which
the stem is introduced.
The complete pipe, ready to be charged with tobacco, is composed as shown in
Fig. 1 of six principal parts fitted together, of which parts I will now describe the
respective functions.
In the section Fig. 2 the bowl is shown charged with tobacco, and the direction
of the smoke is plainly indicated. Fig. 3 represents a general view of the
disengaging scraper having three blades B capable of a rotary motion within the
bowl of the pipe.
Upon the upper part A of this scraper fits the ring or washer C (Fig. 4) which
has three retaining claws E.
Figs. 5 and 6 represent in detail the spiral spring elevator H and its cap G.
This spring H serves to raise the tobacco towards the upper portion of the pipe
according to the rate of combustion.
The parts having now been separately described the following is the manner in
which they are to be combined so as to constitute the pipe ready for use as in
Fig. 1. Cover the spring H with its cap G and introduce them, cap uppermost.
into the scraper, shewn in Fig. 3; afterwards place the ring C upon the part A of
the scraper and introduce the whole into the interior of the pipe. In this condition
the scraper, Fig. 3, which contains all the other parts is retained by the spring
handle D of the ring by means of the hook near the stem of the pipe. It is to
be observed that in this position the ring C when clasped or fastened by its spring
handle remains fixed and secures everything without preventing the rotary move-
ment of the disengaging scrapers B which can be readily turned to right or left by
means of the handle K. As is shown in Figs. 9 and 10, the catch a holds spring D
and consequently the ring C. so that the scraper B is not prevented from turning
to right or left when operated by the small handle K.
Moreover, it must not be lost sight of that owing to the novel structure of the
pipe the smoke does not pass through the body of the tobacco as in other pipes in
order to pass out at the bottom of the bowl. It is easy to see that the elevator
forcing the tobacco from below, upwards, it can only consume at the top of the
pipe where its ascent is impeded by the claws E of the ring C, an advantage which
enables the smoke to be drawn off by the passage L, Fig 2, leading to the stem
without passing through the mass of tobacco underneath so that the latter does
not become impregnated with vapour and nicotine which inevitably accumulate
in old-fashioned pipes to the detriment of the flavour of the smoke, the incineration
of the tobacco, of its quality and of the health of the smoker. The pipe represented
in Fig. 1 is made of inoxidizable white metal in its upper and lower portions. The
intermediate portion M which is set in the part N is formed of crystal, thereby
enabling the smoker to observe all the phases of the incineration of the tobacco.
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 :-
The combination of parts forming my improved pipe and comprising (4) The
rotary disengaging scrapers B with the rotary ring or washer having retaining
claws C and (b) A spring H provided with a cap G for forcing the tobacco from
below upwards in order to permit the exit of the smoke by the orifice L and thus

herein described and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
