PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Tobacco Pipe to Prevent Nicotine or Moisture
Entering the Mouth.
I ALEXIS PAUL GAVARD of No. 4 York Road Kings Cross London do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
This pipe may be made of wood clay meerschaum or other suitable material of
which pipes are usually made either separately or in combination with each other
and consists of two or more pieces. The bowl to hold the tobacco is made to
screw into the head of the pipe so as to leave a space between the said bowl and
the bowl of the pipe into which it is screwed. The smoke tube or hole proceeds
from the mouthpiece through the length of the stem to the bottom of the bowl but
instead of cutting through into the bowl thence proceeds in an upward direction
through the outer case or bowl and thence opens into the space left between the
inner and the outer bowl at a point near the top thereof. By this means smoke
alone is drawn through the tube the nicotine and other injurious matter being
collected and absorbed by the plug at the bottom of the space between the two
bowls which plug when fully impregnated is replaced by a fresh one the pipe being
always clean sweet and retaining the full and pure aroma and distinctive flavour of
the tobacco with the advantage of a cool smoke. The tobacco being free from all
moisture or sediment can thus be smoked clean away to the last particle thereby
creating considerable economy and entirely dispensing with the necessity of cleaning
out the sediment at the bottom of the bowl before refilling the pipe. All moisture
being absorbed by the porous plug the screwed bowl does not become clogged up
as with other pipes of that class and the pipe is always free from the ruttling or
throttling noise. I also make this pipe by inserting in the outer bowl a stem one
end of which shall enter the space between the two bowls at some portion near the
top of said bowl.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Tobacco Pipe to Prevent Nicotine or Moisture
Entering the Mouth.
I ALEXIS PAUL GAVARD of 4 York Road Kings Cross London in the County
of Middlesex Tobacconist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
This pipe may be made of wood clay meerschaum or other suitable material of
which pipes are usually made and either separately or in combination with each
other and said pipe may consist of or be made in two or more pieces.
The bowl to hold the tobacco Fig. 1 is made to screw into the head of the pipe
Fig. 2 as shown so as to leave a space between the bowl (Fig. 1) and the outer
bowl of the pipe (Fig. 2) into which same is screwed such space extending from
the heel of the outer bowl to a point near the top thereof whence the smoke from
the tobacco in the bowl passes down the tube or channel A in the outer bowl
Fig. 2 and thence into the channel or bore formed in the stem of said pipe to the
mouthpiece.
This latter tube or channel which is formed in the stem proceeds from the mouth-
piece in the usual manner of pipe stems until it reaches the bottom of the bowl at

page_text: the point X Fig. 2 but instead of cutting through into the bowl in the usual way
it thence proceeds at right angles and takes an upward direction as shown by said
letter A the outlet being thence directly made into the space existing between the
inner and the outer bowls as shewn in Figure 4. By this arrangement smoke alone
is drawn through the tube towards the mouth the moisture and other injurious
matter being collected and absorbed by the plug of asbestos or other suitable
material placed at the bottom of space between the two bowls D Figs. 2 3 and 4
and which plug when fully impregnated with nicotine may readily be replaced by a
fresh one thereby keeping the pipe clean and enabling the smoker to obtain the full
and pure aroma and distinctive flavour of each kind of tobacco he may smoke with
the advantage of a cool and pleasant smoke.
The smoke drawn from the tobacco being free from all moisture or sediment and
the tobacco likewise preserved dry in the inner bowl of the pipe it can thus be
smoked clean away to the last particle thereby creating considerable economy and
entirely dispensing with the necessity of cleaning out the sediment or damp tobacco
at the bottom of the said bowl before refilling the pipe all moisture and nicotine
being absorbed by the said porous plug of asbestos or other material and the
screwed bowl does not become clogged up as with other pipes of that class and the
pipe remains free from the ruttling or throttling noise.
I also make my said pipe by inserting in the outer bowl what is commonly known
as a push stem or tube or the same may be inserted by means of the ordinary screw
stem into said bowl which stem enters the space between the inner and the outer
bowls as already described at a point near the top thereof as shown in Fig. 3.
Having now particularly ascertained and described my said invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I now claim is,
1. The combination of a space between the inner and outer bowl of said pipe
substantially as herein described and according to Figs. 1. 2 and 4 of the accom-
panying drawing.
2. The combination of a porous plug of asbestos or other suitable material
between the two bowls substantially as herein described.
3. The combination of the pipe for drawing away the smoke from the tobacco in
the said inner bowl by means of the tubes and outlets as shown in Figs. 1. 2. 3
and 4 of the accompanying drawings.
Dated this 25th day of February 1892.
