Street, Charing Cross, in the City of Westminster, Civil Engineer,
So the Invention of 66 TrenDAVEMENMa IN TORACCO PIRES:"
Scaled the 18th October 1870, and dated the 13th August 1870..
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Charles August
Constantin Eckhold at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents,
with his Petition, on the 13th August 1870.
I, CHARLES AUGUST CONSTANTIN ECKHOLD, of 16, Green Street;
Charing Cross, in the City of Westminster, Civil Engineer, do hereby
declare the nature of the said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN TOBACCO
PIPES," to be as follows:-.
The improvements have for. their object the constructing pipes for
smoking tobacco cigar shape, and in such manner that the lighted
tobacco shall be kept at a level of the top of the pipe during smoking,
and thus have or give the appearance of a cigar, for which purpose the
pipe may conveniently be fashioned to resemble a cigar tube holding
;

page_text: a cigar, the former, say of meerschaum or briar wood, and the latter of
thin metal covered with a cigar leaf, or in wood or any material painted
in imitation thereof. In the tube part may be conveniently fixed a
sliding piston working by means of a screw, or otherwise made to slide
by turning the cigar or the tube part of the pipe, and so causing the
piston to rise in the cigar part of the pipe and keep the lighted tobacco
at the level of the top or end of the cigar part.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent,.
filed by the said Charles August Constantin Eckhold in the Great
Seal Patent Office on the 13th February 1871.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, CHARLES
AUGUST CONSTANTIN ECKHOLD, of 16, Green Street, Charing Cross, in
the City of Westminster, Civil Engineer, send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Letters Patent, bearing date the Thirteenth day of August, in the year
of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy, in the thirty-
fourth year of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give
and grant unto me, the said Charles August Constantin Eckhold, Her
special licence that I, the said Charles August Constantin Eckhold, my
executors, administrators, and assigns, or such others as I, the said
Charles August Constantin Eckhold, my executors, administrators, and
assigns, should at any time agree with, and no others, from time to time
and at all times thereafter during the term therein expressed, should
and lawfully might make, use, exercise, and vend, within the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Channel Islands, and Isle
of Man, an Invention for “IMPROVEMENTS IN TOBACCO PIPES," upon the
'condition (amongst others) that I, the said Charles August Constantin
Eckhold, my executors or administrators, by an instrument in writing
under my, or their, or one of their hands and seals, should particularly
describe and ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and in what
manner the same was to be performed, and cause the same to be filed
in the Great Seal Patent Office within six calendar months next and
immediately after the date of the said Letters Patent.

page_text: NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Charles August Constantin Eckhold,
do hereby declare the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement, that is to say :-
:-
The improvements have for their object the constructing pipes for
smoking tobacco cigar shape, and in such manner that the lighted
tobacco shall be kept at a level of the top of the pipe during smoking,
and thus have or give the appearance of a cigar, for which purpose
the pipe may conveniently be fashioned to resemble a cigar tube holding
a cigar, the former, say, of meerschaum or briar wood, and the latter of
thin metal covered with a cigar leaf, or in wood, or any material painted
in imitation thereof. In the tube part may be conveniently fixed a
sliding piston working by means of a screw, or otherwise made to slide.
by turning the cigar or the tube part of the pipe, and so causing the
piston to rise in the cigar part of the pipe and keep the lighted tobacco
at the level of the top or end of the cigar part.
The pipe may also be made wholly like a cigar, and may be made of
any of the known materials suitable for the manufacture of pipes.
The accompanying Drawing will serve to illustrate a convenient mode
of carrying the Invention into effect.
Figure 1 shows a complete section of the cigar-shaped pipe with rising
and falling piston; Figure 2 shows the complete sliding piston in the
necessary position when the pipe is about to be filled; Figure 3 shows
the same when the pipe has been smoked out, or when the piston is at its
upper position; Figure 4 shows a section of the cigar-shaped pipe only;
Figure 5 shews the details of the separate pieces which constitute the
apparatus, by means of which the rising and falling motion takes
placc.
A, Figures 1 and 4, is the bowl, B the connecting pieces between
the mouth piece and bowl, which, as well as the bowl, may be covered
with tobacco leaf or paper, or other suitable material made to imitate
tobacco leaf; the bowl may be conveniently made of meershaum, clay,
or other suitable material, and the connection of wood. C, Figures 1
and 4, is a metal ring, being the point at which the motion takes place
and may be screwed or otherwise fastened to D, the mouth piece, which
is made of amber, bone, wood, or any other suitable material; E is the
plunger or piston working in a longitudinal slot inF, which latter being
squared out near the top (F), Figure 5) fits into the
pipe, and is thus

page_text: prevented from. participating in the rotary movement by means of a
stud attached to it, said stud having the rising and falling movement
imparted to it by means of a spiral slot whicli is cut in the outer
covering G, this outer covering being firmly attached to the mouth
piece D, so that when the mouth piece is held and a rotary movement
imparted to the parts A and B, the plunger or piston rises or falls, as
the case may be, in accordance therewith.
In witness whereof, I, the said Charles August Constantin Eckhold,
have hereunto set my hand and seal, this Tenth day of February
in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy-
one.
CHARLES A. ECKHOLD.. (L.S.) .
