COMPLETE SPECIFICATION..
Improvements in Tobacco Pipes, Cigar and Cigarette Holders.
I, EDGAR RYLANDS of P.O. Box 953, Johannesburg, Transvaal, South African
Republic, Mechanical Engineer, 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 :-
This invention relates to improvements in the construction of tobacco pipes, also
applicable to cigar and cigarette holders, and has for its object to provide a means
by which nicotine or moisture from the tobacco can be prevented from reaching
the mouth of the smoker.
In carrying out my invention I propose to provide the, pipe with two bowls one
placed inside the other, the inner one serving to contain the tobacco. This inner
bowl does not completely fill the outer one a space being left through which the
smoke can pass. The inner bowl is provided with a number of perforations at the
lower end allowing the smoke to penetrate into the chamber formed between
the two bowls. The inner bowl is also preferably provided with a number of ribs
which secure and keep it at the proper distance from the inner surface of the outer
bowl. The stem instead of being connected to the bowl at the lower end is fitted
at the top, the bore opening into the upper end of the chamber so that the smoke
can deposit any moisture in the chamber before passing to the stem.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference is had to
the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a vertical section through
the bowl of a pipe constructed according to my invention, Fig. 2 is a section or
plan, and Fig. 3 shows the inner bowl removed.
on the inner
The outer bowl A is preferably made somewhat thinner than in the ordinary
pipe and within this bowl the inner bowl B is placed. This inner bowl is provided
with the vertical ribs & placed at suitable intervals, these ribs bearing
surface of the bowl A and forming the chambers C between the two bowls. The
upper end of the outer bowl is rebated, and the inner howl is provided with the
flange which fits in the rebated part. To secure the bowl in place the small
clip a is provided at the top of the bowl bearing on the edge of the inner bowl B
and securing it in place, at the same time allowing it to be easily removed when
required. The stem D is fitted at the top of the bowl A, the bore d opening into
the upper end of the chamber or chambers C. The smoke passes through the
perforations in the bottom of the bowl B, thence passing through the
chambers C to the bore d, depositing any moisture or nicotine in the bottom of
the bowl A. The latter is provided with the small screw plug a' which when
removed allows the deposit in the bottom of the bowl to pass out, being cleaned by
blowing through the stem. To thoroughly clean the outer bowl the inner one can
be removed.
The arrangement as applied to cigar and cigarette holders is identical, the bowl.
receiving the cigar or cigarette being made of a size and shape suitable for this
purpose, the angle with the stem being preferably different from that employed in
a pipe. The inside bowl may be made from clay or other suitable material and
when dirty can be easily replaced.
Instead of the clip fitted to the top of the bowl the inner bowl may be screwed
in place. The chamber or space between the two bowls may be supplied with
cotton wool or other similar material causing the sinoke to be more thoroughly
.

medicinal use.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is.―
(1.) Improvements in tobacco pipes, cigar and cigarette holders, consisting in
two bowls one placed inside the other, a space between the said bowls, perforations
in the bottom of the inner bowl ribs on its exterior and a stem fitted at the top of
the bowl and connected with the upper end of the chamber, substantially as
described and for the purposes specified.
(2.) In an improved tobacco pipe, cigar or cigarette holder, the combination
with an external bowl and stem fitted at the upper end of the said bowl, of an
inner bowl, ribs on the outer surface of the said bowl, and perforations in its
bottom and means for securing the inner bowl in position, substantially as and for
the purposes specified.
(3.) The improved pipe provided with a double bowl, substantially as described
and shown in the accompanying drawings, and for the purposes specified.
Dated this 22nd day of October 1896.
