IMPROVEMENTS IN TOBACCO PIPES AND CIGAR HOLDERS
Year: 1885

page_text: I ERNEST JOHN VAN WALWYK of 327 Argyll Street Glasgow in the County
of Lanark Meerschaum and Briar pipe maker and mounter do hereby declare the
nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN TOBACCO PIPES AND CIGAR HOLDERS
to be as follows:-
:-
I make the stem of the pipe or cigar holder in two parts and hollow out the
bowl part of the stem near its extremity the entrance to the cavity thus made
forming a socket for the mouth piece part of the stem. The bores in the two
parts of the stem terminate a short distance apart in and project into the cavity:
the bore of the mouth piece part being generally turned and terminating in an
upward direction. The cavity forms a receptacle for nicotine or other juices or
liquid and by the above arrangement of the bores these are prevented from
returning to the bowl or the smokers mouth. The mouthpiece part of the stem is
made to push or screw into the socket in the ordinary way and the cavity can
therefore be easily cleaned-Sometimes in lieu of the bore from the bowl projecting
into the cavity make it travel in an upward direction from the bowl and
terminate in the top side of the cavity; this more effectually prevents any liquid
from passing through it to the bowl and reserves a larger space in the cavity as a
reservoir-In this arrangement both ends or either end of the stems can be
mounted and where the mouthpiece part of the stem is mounted the mount must
form as it were a continuation of the bore and terminate in a similar way.
Sometime I connect the two parts of the stem by a mount of gold silver or other
suitable material and divide the mount in the centre by a plate in the top side of
which I make an opening through which the smoke passes or I make for the same
purpose two openings on the top of the mount one on each side of the dividing
plate and connect them from the exterior by a tube or channel of suitable material
generally the same material as the mount.
Where the respective sizes of the bowl and mouthpiece stems differ one half the
mount can be made larger than the other and in this case an opening for the .
smoke can be made on the top of the smaller half and on the top of the dividing
plate which also forms the closed end of the larger half both openings being

page_text: connected from the exterior by a tube or channel as last described. The extremities
of the mount form sockets for the stems which are made to fit into them by the
ordinary screw push or other convenient method securing easy detachment and the
bores in both parts of the stem are fitted to terminated a short distance from
the dividing plate so that a vacuum is left on each side and are arranged in similar
ways to those first described. In this arrangement the one side of the mount
forms a receptacle for the nicotine or other juices emanating from the bowl while
the other forms a receptacle for the saliva from the mouth and all liquids or juices
falling into the receptacles are prevented from passing from them into the bores.
The mount being easily detachable from the stems can be emptied when necessary
and for the same reason all parts of the pipe can be easily cleaned.

I ERNEST JOHN VAN WALWYK of 327 Argyll Street Glasgow in the County
of Lanark Pipe Mounter 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, reference being had to the
accompanying drawings and to the Figures and letters marked thereon:-
In the form shown at Figure 1 I make the stem of the pipe or cigar holder in
two parts a. b. and hollow out the bowl part a of the stem near its extremity, the
entrance c¹ to the cavity c. thus made forming a socket for the mouth piece part b
of the stem. The bores in the two parts of the stem are formed of or terminate
in short tubes a¹ b¹ which end a short distance apart and project into the cavity c;
the bore or short tube 61 of the mouth piece part being generally turned and
terminating in an upward direction. The cavity c forms a receptacle for nicotine
or other juices or liquid and by the above arrangement of the bores these are
prevented from returning to the bowl or the smoker's mouth. The mouth piece
part 6 of the stem is made to push or screw into the socket in the ordinary way
for which purpose it is firmly connected to the short tube 61 or such tube 6¹ is
formed thereon and the cavity can therefore be easily cleaned. Sometimes in lieu
of the bore or short tube a¹ from the bowl projecting into the cavity I adopt the
construction shown at Figure 2 and make the bore travel in an upward direction
from the bowl and terminate on the top side of the cavity c; this more effectually
prevents any liquid from passing through it to the bowl and reserves a larger space
in the cavity c as a reservoir.
In this arrangement both ends or either end of the stems can be mounted and
where the mouthpiece part of the stem is mounted the mount must form as it
were a continuation of the bore and terminate in a similar way.
Sometimes as shown at Figure 3 I connect the two parts of the stem by a mount
of gold, silver or other suitable material and divide the mount in the centre by &
horizontal plate c² in the top side of which I make an opening through which the
smoke passes from the space on one side of the division to that on the other or
I make for the same purpose two openings on the top of the mount as shown at
Figure 4 one on each side of the dividing plate, and connect them from the exterior
by a tube or channel c³ of suitable material generally the same material as the
mount. Where the respective sizes of the bowl and mouthpiece stems differ one
part of the mount can be made larger than the other and in this case an opening
for the smoke can be made on the top of the smaller half and in the top of the
dividing plate which also forms the closed end of the larger half both openings
being connected from the exterior by a tube or channel as last described. The
extremities of the mount form sockets for the stems which are made to fit into
them by the ordinary screw, push or other convenient method securing easy
detachment and the bores in both parts of the stem are fitted to terminate a short
distance from the dividing plate so that a space is left on each side and are arranged
in similar ways to those first described. In this arrangement the one side of the
mount forms a receptacle for the nicotine or other juices emanating from the bowl

page_text: while the other forms a receptacle for the saliva from the mouth, and all liquids or
juices falling into the receptacles are prevented from passing from them into the
bores.
The mount, being easily detachable from the stems, can be emptied when
necessary and for the same reason all parts of the pipe can be easily cleaned.
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 construction of tobacco pipes and cigar holders substantially as herein shown
and described.
