the pipe unnecessary. The plugs or rolls after use can be pulled or pushed out of
the tube and being inexpensive can be frequently renewed.
Instead of inserting the plugs or rolls into tubes attached to the mouthpiece, I
in some cases insert them into loose tubes which are placed into the cavity of the
pipe stem, the mouthpiece in such cases not having a tube attached to it.
In some cases I dispense with tubes and insert the roll or plug of absorbent
paper directly into the cavity of the pipe stem.
The absorbent plugs or rolls may be medicated, or may be impregnated with a
saccharine solution which imparts a pleasant taste to the smoke.

page_text: 1 ALLEN DEWSNAP of 65, Pikes Lane, Glossop in the County of Derby, Mill
Manager, 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 :-

My invention relates to pipes for smoking tobacco and consists in an improved
manufacture of tubes, plugs or rolls for absorbing the nicotine and moisture and in
means for facilitating the insertion into and withdrawal from the pipes of said tubes,
plugs or rolls and in the construction of the pipe for the reception of the same.
On the sheet of drawings appended hereunto fig. 1 shows an outside view of my
improved pipe.
Fig. 2, a view of the tube, plug or roll for absorbing the nicotine and moisture.
Fig. 3 a section of the pipe with the mouthpiece disjointed from the Stem.
The complete pipe may be made in two or more parts jointed together by screwing
or pushing one part into the other. On the drawing a pipe made in two parts
pushed into each other is represented. The stem a or that part of the stem to which
the mouthpiece is joined is bored or hollowed out so that a cylindrical or polygonal
cavity is formed in the same. The mouthpiece e which may be of any ordinarily
used shape, has by preference a tube attached to it which fits into the cavity b.
This tube may be made of metal, vulcanite, compressed paper, wood or other
suitable material. Into the tube d I insert a tube, plug, or roll e made of porus
or spongey or absorbent paper, such as blotting paper and formed by rolling up
a strip of said paper. This can conveniently be done by means of a piece of half
round wire bent together into a form similar to what are known as $5
split pins," into
the slit of which the end of a strip of paper cut to the required length is inserted and
wrapped tightly round the wire by rotating the latter. The roll thus formed is
inserted into the tube d and the wire rotated backward, whereby the paper is
expanded till it fills the tube, after which the wire is withdrawn. When the mouth-
piece is joined to the pipe by being pushed into the hoop and the pipe used, the
plug tube or roll e absorbs the nicotine and moisture and thus prevents the pipe from
clogging and renders frequent cleaning out of the pipe unnecessary, as owing to the
capillary attraction of the rolls or plugs the condensed moisture is absorbed and the
smoke passage drained. The plugs or rolls e after use can be pulled or pushed out
of the tube d and being inexpensive can be frequently renewed.
The hoop may be dispensed with and the end of the tube d marked g left slightly
fuller and made to fit the commencement of the cavity b tightly, or the parts of the
pipe may be screwed together, and bowl stem and mouthpiece may be made of any
ordinarily used suitable shape. The passage marked h may be bored diagonally so as
to come into the bottom of the cavity b instead of the top as shewn in drawing.
Instead of inserting the plug tube or rolle of porous spongey or absorbent paper
into tubes attached to the mouthpiece, I in some cases insert them into loose tubes
which are placed into the cavity of the pipe stem, the mouthpiece in such cases not
having a tube attached to it.

absorbent spongey or porous paper directly into the cavity of the pipe stem."
The absorbent plugs, tubes, or rolls may be medicated or may be impregnated
with a saccharine solution which imparts a pleasant taste to the smoke.
my said
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
Firstly, plugs, tubes or rolls made of porous or spongey or absorbent paper
such as blotting paper substantially as hereinbefore described and for the purpose
set forth.
Secondly, tubes attached to the mouthpieces of tobacco pipes for the purpose of
inserting plugs, tubes or rolls made of porous or spongey or absorbent paper into
said tubes, substantially as herein before described, and illustrated on the drawings.
Thirdly, loose tubes inserted into the stems of tobacco pipes for the purpose of
inserting plugs, tubes, or rolls made of porous or spongey or absorbent paper into
said loose tubes, substantially as hereinbefore described.
Fourthly, the construction of tobacco pipes with cavities for the reception of plugs
rolls or tubes made of porous or spongey or absorbent paper and for the reception of
tubes containing said plugs tubes or rolls, substantially as herein before described and
illustrated on the drawing appended hereunto.
