PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
I, HARVEY ALLCOCK of 67 Francis Road Birmingham in the County of
Warwick, Fish Hook Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my said
invention to be as follows: :~
My invention has for its object improvements in tobacco pipes and is a further
development of my previous Patent number 14487 A.D. 1887.
My previous Patent describes the manufacture of a coil which is specially
prepared with charcoal to act as a preventative against poison or contagion being
transfered to the smoker in fact it acts as a disinfectant to the pipe besides having
many other advantages.
Now my present invention consists of placing a thin stem inside this coil having
a small flat piece at one end a little larger in diameter than the stem and at the
other end an enlargement which has a screwed thread cut in it to allow of the coil
being screwed on and thus held in position and also to allow the coil to be easily
taken off for cleaning.
The end of the plug which connects the mouthpiece to the body of the pipe and
which may either be screwed or plain I drill holes through and across each other
for the purpose of retaining the saliva which comes from the mouth and preventing
it receding back into the mouth the small flat end of the stem in the coil abuts
against the end of the plug and keeps down the saliva and nicotine in the main
body of the coil and brings a nice soft easy smoke over the coil and thus preventing
any unpleasant effects from any bad tobacco and disinfects 'the pipe and secures the
smoke from any ill effects.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
I HARVEY ALLCOCK of 67 Francis Road Birmingham in the County of
Warwick Fish Hook Manufacturer 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 has for its object improvements in tobacco pipes and is a further
developement of my previous Patent number 14487 A.D. 1887.
My previous Patent describes the manufacture of a coil which is specially
prepared with charcoal to act as a preventative against poison or contagion being
transferred to the smoker in fact it acts as a disinfectant to the pipe besides having
many other advantages.
Now my present invention consists of placing a thin stem inside this coil having
a small flat piece at one end a little longer in diameter than the stem and at the
other end an enlargement which has a screwed thread cut in it to allow of the coil
being screwed on and thus held in position and also to allow the coil to be easily
taken off for cleaning.
The end of the plug which connects the mouthpiece to the body of the pipe and
which may either be screwed or plain I drill holes through and across each other
for the purpose of retaining the saliva which comes from the mouth and preventing
it receding back into the mouth the small flat end of the stem in the coil abuts
against the end of the plug and keeps down the saliva and nicotine in the main body

any unpleasant effects from any bad tobacco and disinfects the pipe and secures the
smoker from any ill effects.
In order that my invention may be more easily understood and carried into practical
effect I have appended hereunto one sheet of drawings.
Figure is a view of my improved pipe shewing the formation of the mouth-
piece and coil with its core complete.
Figure 2 shows that my invention may be adapted to a curved pipe.
Figure 3 shows a modification in the manufacture of the core for the coil.
Figure 4 is another mode of fixing the coil.
Figure 5 is an end view of the same.
Figure 8 is a view of the core without the coil.
Figure 9 shows another modification of my improvement.
Referring to Figure 1 it will be seen that the coil A is placed around the core a¹
and is screwed on to the screw-end a thus keeping it securely in its place the other
end has a round flat termination a³ which abuts against the end of the plug a* and
keeps the nicotine and saliva in the main body of the pipe. The plug a' of the
mouth-piece E has holes a' drilled through it and the number of these can be
regulated according to the taste of the smoker. The coil A is placed in the stem
of the pipe 1 and the mouth-piece is screwed in after it or slid in but the plain
principle as shown is preferred.
In some cases the coil may be screwed into the plug in Figure 7 and in narrow
bored pipes I drill a hole C through the core of the coil as seen in Figure 3.
The objects which I attain by these means are the soft and easy smoke caused
by the travel over the coil A in conjunction with the holes a³ and C in a narrow
bored pipe and in a large bore by the hollow cap d and thus no bad tobacco can
hurt the smoker being purified from all impurities. In Figure 9 it will be seen that
a small plug a is inserted in the end of the core a' which when inserted in the pipe
extends up to a' and causes an easy smoke. The pipe can also be easily cleaned by
withdrawing the coil and wiping the same with a piece of paper or two or more
coils could be had so that one could be thrown into cold water and left for some
time the smoker simply putting another in its place. The pipe thus being rendered
not only pleasant in every way to smoke but is a disinfectant to all bad or impure
tobacco.
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 :-
1st. Improvements in tobacco pipes having a charcoaled coil A mounted upon a
core a substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth and shewn upon the
drawing.
2nd. Improvements in tobacco pipes having a charcoaled coil A mounted upon
a core a¹ and having one or more holes C with a smaller plug a substantially as
and for the purpose herein set forth and shewn upon the drawing.
3rd. Improvements in tobacco pipes made substantially as herein described and
set forth.
