page_text: Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
I, ALBERT PFLUEGER, Manufacturer, of 56 Frith Street, Soho, London W.C..
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in tobacco pipes by means of which the
stem of the pipe can be elongated, so as to convert a short pipe at will into a
long-stem pipe for reading, writing etc. This attain by making the stem to
consist of two or more parts, adapted to slide telescopically into each other, the
mouth-piece being secured to the innermost part.
The bowl of the improved pipe consists of two separate parts which fit into each
other. The upper part forms the tobacco bowl proper and has a perforated'
bottom, while the lower part is adapted to receive the stem and to contain a
circular absorbing lozenge made from blotting paper or other suitable material.
The smoke therefore passes first through the perforations in the bottom of the
upper bowl, thence through and or around the absorbing lozenge, and then into the
stem. The end of the stem may be cut slanting, to prevent it from being pushed
against the side of the lower bowl, whereby free draught would be impeded.

I, ALBERT PFLUEGER, Manufacturer of 56 Frith Street, Soho London W.C.,.
do hereby declare the nature of my 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 purpose to produce a tobacco pipe absolutely free from
the usual defects as regards cleanliness and sweetness, and so constructed as to
admit of its being converted at will into a longer stem pipe such as is found
generally more convenient when reading or writing.
In the accompanying drawing, in the 3 figures of which like letters denote
like or corresponding parts,
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the improved pipe shown in section,
Fig. 2 is a side elevation, partly in section, showing the pipe when elongated or
drawn out, and
Fig. 3 is a sectional side view of a pipe in which the extension arrangement of
the stem is dispensed with.
The bowl of the improved pipe consists of two separate parts, a the tobacco
bowl proper, having at its bottom either a perforated plate p as shown in Fig. 1 or
the usual aperture as shown in Fig. 3, and adapted to be screwed or otherwise
fixed on the second or stem part b. The part b is provided with a cavity designed
to receive a cartridge or wad c made of blotting paper or other suitable absorbent
material and having suitable perforations to allow of free passage of the smoke..

thorough cleaning of those parts of the pipe which are most liable to retain
sedin.ent of nicotine, etc. The sliding stem, having at its outer extremity the
mouthpiece d and at the other end a flange or washer 611 fitting closely into the
bore of stem b, is held securely in its place by the cape and can be pulled outwards
to increase the length of the stem when required.
In the pipe illustrated by Fig. 3 the telescopic extension is dispensed with,
while the other advantages of my invention are preserved.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
The combination and arrangements of parts constituting the improved tobacco
pipe substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described.
