GEORGE JONES 17 Upper Phillimore Place High Street Kensington London
Machinist do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
I turn or make on the pipe stem near the bowl consecutive concentric rebates
ledges or steps of diminishing diameters on which 1 place or fix tubes as hereinafter
explained. Otherwise I make a short cylinder or plug on one end of which I make
these rebates ledges or steps-on the other end I fashion it so as to fit any pipe bowl
by making it of a conical shape to push into the neck of the bowl or put a screw on
it to screw either inside or outside the neck of the bowl or else I hollow it out so as
to receive the neck or stem of the bowl by simply pushing in or on this latter plan I
adopt for Cigar or Cigarette holders. I then bore a small hole from end to end of the
cylinder plug for a smoke passage. I now insert in this passage a tube of small bore
(or in the passage of the pipe neck as the case may be) of the length desired then
over this tube and on the first step ledge or rebate I place another and larger bore
tube of the required length and stopped with a cap on the top end so as to entirely
cover the first tube but leaving a space between them which forms an anular chamber for
the smoke to descend in from the top of the first tube to a perforation at nearly the
bottom of this second tube through which the smoke passes into another still larger
tube which is placed on the second step-this last or third tube is open at the top and
the mouth piece is there inserted-unless it is desired to prolong the travel of the
smoke to further cool & purify it in which case I simply put more tubes on more steps
which are alternately perforated at the top and bottom as required untill the desired
length of travel and purification is obtained.
Lastly I make the pipe bowls, the plugs or cylinders, and the tubes, of any suitable
material.

I GEORGE JONES of 17 Upper Phillimore Place High Street Kensington London
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:--
To carry out the above named object, I turn on the neck or stem of the pipe near
the bowl consecutive rebates or stops of different and diminishing diameters on which
steps I place tubes as hereinafter explained-otherwise I make a short cylinder or plug
on one end of which I turn these rebates or steps and on the other end of it I fashion
it so as to fit any pipe bowl by either turning it into a conical or other shape to push
or screw it into or on the neck of the pipe bowl or cigar or cigarette holder. I then
bore a hole through the plug from end to end-I now insert in the neck of the pipe
bowl or in the hole of the plug as the case may be a tube of small bore of the length
desired then over this and entirely covering it I place a larger tube which I affix on
the smallest rebate or step-the other end of this tube is closed by a cap or other
means but leaving an anular space between the two tubes for the smoke to pass
through to near the bottom of this second tube where it escapes through a perforation
into another anular space made by fixing another tube on the next step this is open at
the top and the mouth peice is there inserted unless I wish to prolong the travel of
the smoke in order to further purify it-in which case I place more tubes on similar
steps which tubes are alternately perforated near top & bottom untill the desired travel
of the smoke is obtained.
I otherwise turn the rebates or steps on the mouth peice of the pipe Cigar or
Cigarette holder and attach the tubes in like manner to that and insert or connect the
pipe bowl to the outside tube-in this case I place another tube inside of all which I
perforate at or near the top or mouth peice and close the bottom end-this tube
forms a chamber to receive any saliva that may flow through the mouth peice and so
prevents it from entering into any other part of the pipe stem or bowl.
I do not confine myself to any particular length of tubes or any particular space
between each tube or to any particular number of tubes because I find in actual
practice the more I prolong the backward and forward travel of the smoke and the
larger the space between the tubes the greater amount of Tar, Oil nicotine and acid
is trapped and deposited on the sides of the tubes.
I now proceed to further explain my invention by drawings-which are all enlarged
the better to show the smoke Passages & Condensing Chambers.

it arrives at the end next the mouthpeice where it escapes throug a hole in it to the
mouth peice.

more chambers and thus increase the further travel, condensation and purification, of
the smoke are effected.
In figures 12 & 4 any moisture or saliva from the mouth collects in the chambers
marked C. 1, and in Fig. 3. in the chamber marked C 2. The pipe bowls A & the
mouth peice M may be made of any shape that suits the maker or user of them, my
patent being for 'A method for trapping and preventing Nicotine from entering the
mouth, or moisture from the mouth from entering the pipe bowl or cigar or cigarette
holder when smoking tobacco, and producing a long draft or travel of the smoke.
6
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
First a method for trapping and preventing nicotine from entering the mouth or
moisture from the mouth entering the pipe bowl or cigar or cigarette holder when
smoking tobacco-specially by the means of conducting the smoke through a series
of chambers formed by placing closed and perforated tubes inside each other and thus
allowing the smoke to expand and attenuate so that the Tar, Oil Nicotine acid &c. can
condense on the sides of the tubes that form the chambers in the stem of the pipe and
Secondly I claim to make the pipe bowl stem & Tubes of any suitable material,
and also the Cigar & Cigarete holders plugs &c.
