PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
I, HIPPOLYTE VUILLARD, fils, of Saint-Claude (Jura), in the Republic of
France, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to an improved arrangement or construction of tobacco
pipes. The improved pipe consists of the ordinary bowl provided with a sleeve or
socket preferably formed of the same material as the bowl. In or upon this sleeve
fits loosely the end of the stem which at the same time forms a journal or pivot for
the bowl to turn upon so as to enable it to take up its position between the part of
the stem connected with the bowl and the mouth-piece of the pipe.
The portion of the suction pipe or stem connected with the bowl is bent at both
ends, one of which constitutes a pivot or journal for the bowl to turn upon, while
the other receives the conical end of the mouthpiece which is adapted to turn freely
if required.
The stem of the pipe is thus formed of two parts or sections capable of turning
one in relation to the other and of being folded up into compact shape, enabling the
pipe to be carried about in the pocket without inconvenience. To do this the bowl
is placed between the two sections of the stem the mouthpiece is turned so as to
extend over the bowl while the portion of the suction pipe next to the sleeve or
bowl is placed underneath the bowl.
Whatever the position of the parts of the pipe however it is always ready for
immediate use.
