PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tobacco Pipes, Cigar and Cigarette Holders.
I, THOMAS DAWBER of 42, Brunswick Street, Burnley, in the County of
Lancaster, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The first part of this invention is designed to intercept nicotine or oily matters
from passing to the mouth of the smoker or saturating the tobacco in the pipe head
or bowl, whereby a perfectly cool and wholesome smoke is obtained, with the
slightest possible detriment or injury to the health of the smoker.
In carrying my invention into effect, I fit into the pipe bowl an inner or false
bowl, which is preferably cone-shaped with a hole at the bottom and a flange on
the top, which flange rests on the bowl of the pipe and is tightened against the
same. This false or additional bowl is preferably grooved like a worm on its
external surface, so as to allow of the passage of the smoke in the manner
hereinafter described. Instead of the usual bore leading to the pipe bowl, I make
an almost vertical bore along the front of the bowl, and entering the bowl near the
top in such a manner that when the false or inner bowl is fixed in position and
filled with tobacco, the smoke will have to pass through the bottom of the same,
and then upwards along the worm groove before it enters the orifice or bore at the
top of the pipe bowl, and passes to the stem.
The stem of the pipe may be formed telescopic, so that it may be lengthened as
desired to suit the tastes of the smoker. I extend the mouthpiece in the form of
(or otherwise insert in the stem) a worm which fits tight into the stem of the pipe
in order to compel the smoke to travel round the grooves of the worm previous to
entering the mouth, which has the same effect as if the pipe were considerably
longer, and has a tendancy to purify entirely the smoke from condensed oil and
nicotine previous to being drawn into the mouth of the smoker. The extended
portion of the mouth piece may be prolonged in the shape of a small trough or
half tubing, which is designed to collect the nicotine in the stem, from which it
may be afterwards readily cleared or for cleaning purposes, a small washer may be
provided to run along the grooves of the worm to clear it entirely.
My improved pipe may be readily adapted as a combination of pipe, cigar and
cigarette holder. In this form, I construct the stem of the pipe in two halves;
one attached to the mouthpiece, and the other in conjunction with the pipe bowl.
That in combination with the mouthpiece has fitted on it, a worm as aforesaid to
purify the smoke, and when detached from the other portion of the stem may be
used as a cigar bolder or cigarette holder being formed with two bores, a large
bore and a small inner bore for that purpose. The pipe bowl may be screwed on
to this portion of the stem. This device may be also employed for cigar and
cigarette holders independent of pipes.
In another modification of my inventiou, I construct my improved combination
pipe stem in the form of an outer shell or tube and an inner shell or tubing, each
tube being formed with slots, through which may be inserted tobacco and the tubes.
revolved, so that the slot in one tube may come against the dead face of the other
tube. The tobacco in the tube may now be lighted, and the stem may be used as
a cigarette without the employment of any cigarette paper, which is so injurious to '
health.

page_text: The bowl of the pipe is of course removed for that purpose, and a space allowed
for the passage of air to the slotted portion of the tubes.
In another arrangement of pipe I form the pipe bowl with an external worm, over
which I slide a loose cap to fit the same tightly. The pipe bowl is open near the
bottom to the external atmosphere, where it may be lighted the pipe being charged
from the top before the cap is put in its place. The tobacco in this arrangement
burns upwards, and the smoke passes up through the tobacco, around the grooves
of the worm, between the sides of the cap and the pipe bowl, and finally enters the
pipe stem, which may be also provided with a worm as previously described.
The opening for lighting the pipe may be closed by a suitable lid or cap.

Improvements in Tobacco Pipes, Cigar and Cigarette Holders.
I THOMAS DAWBER of 42 Brunswick Street Burnley, in the County of
Lancaster, 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 :-
The first part of this invention is designed to intercept nicotine or oily matters
from passing to the mouth of the smoker or saturating the tobacco in the pipe head
or bowl, whereby a perfectly cool and wholesome smoke is obtained, with the
slightest possible detriment or injury to the health of the smoker.
In carrying my invention into effect, I fit into the pipe bowl an inner or false
bowl, which is preferably cone shaped with a hole at the bottom and a flange on
the top, which flange rests on the bowl of the pipe and is tightened against the
same.
The false or additional bowl is preferably grooved like a worm on its external
surface so as to allow of the passage of the smoke in the manner hereinafter
described. Instead of the usual bore leading to the pipe bowl, I make an almost
vertical bore along the front of the bowl, and entering the bowl near the top in
such a manner that when the false or inner bowl is fixed in position and filled with
tobacco, the smoke will have to pass through the bottom of the same, and then
upwards along the worm groove before it enters the orifice or bore at the top of
the pipe bowl, and passes to the stem.
I preferably extend the mouthpiece in the form of (or otherwise insert in the
stem) a worm which fits tight into the stem of the pipe in order to compel the
smoke to travel round the grooves of the worm previous to entering the mouth,
which has the same effect as if the pipe were considerably longer, and has a
tendancy to purify entirely the smoke from condensed oil and nicotine previous to
being drawn into the mouth of the smoker.
In another part of my invention I employ devices to be used in lieu of cigars and
cigarettes.
I combine with a mouth-piece a stem in the form of an outer shell or tube and
an inner shell or tubing, each tube being formed with slots, through which may be
inserted tobacco and the tubes revolved, so that the slot in one tube may come
against the dead face of the other tube. The tobacco in the tube may now be
lighted and the stem may be used as a cigarette without the employment of any
cigarette paper, which is so injurious to health.
In the accompanying drawings,
Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of my improved construction of tobacco pipe. A is

page_text: the pipe bowl fitted with an inner or false bowl B. This inner bowl B is provided
with hole or holes C at the bottom, and is formed cone shaped with a spiral
groove G running to the top of the bowl on its exterior surface. When the false
bowl is placed in position the flange D comes against the top edge of the bowl A.
The false bowl is preferably arranged to screw into the outer bowl as shewn at F.
When the pipe is in use, the smoke from the inner or false bowl B passes through
the hole or holes C at the bottom. It then takes the spiral groove between the
inner wall of bowl A, and the outer wall of false bowl B, until it finally enters the
passage F. leading from the top of bowl A to the stem. In some instances,
the inner false bowl may be plain on its exterior surface instead of having spiral
groove G. In this case, the smoke on passing through the hole C at the bottom
makes straight for the passage F at the top of the pipe.
The stem may be provided with the worm H, if desired.
Fig. 2 shews the second part of my invention, which is preferably constructed of
metal but may be made of other material and consists of a novel device to be used
in lieu of cigarettes.
I employ an outer casing J formed with a slotted opening K. I fit into this
casing, so as to be capable of being turned or rotated, tube L provided with
mouthpiece M made of the usual materials. This inner tube L which may be..
enamelled on its inner surface or otherwise lined is formed half tubular or cut away
a portion of its length as illustrated at N. When in use, the opening N of the
inner tube is brought opposite the opening K of the outer casing J, and the device
may now be charged with tobacco. The mouthpiece is now turned so that the
opening of the inner tube L will come opposite the dead face of the outer tube J,
when the tobacco may be lit at the end and the device used for smoking.
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:-
1. The improved arrangement of an inner bowl B perforated with hole or
holes C at the bottom, and either with or without spiral groove G, but having a
flange D at the top in combination with bowl A formed with a top passage or
draught for the smoke.
2. The improved device to be used in lieu of cigarettes, substantially as shewn,.
and described in Fig. 2.
