page_text: LETTERS PATENT to William Edward Newton, of the Office for Patents,
66, Chancery Lane, in the County of Middlesex, Civil Engineer, for the
Invention of "AN IMPROVEMENT IN PUTTING UP TOBACCO FOR SMOKING, AND
IN THE IMPLEMENTS OR PIPES FOR SMOKING THE SAME, AND IN MAKING
TOBACCO PAPER."-A communication from abroad by Luther Holman
Hale, of the City and State of New York, United States of America.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said William Edward Newton
at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on
the 4th March 1865.
I, WILLIAM EDWARD NEWTON, of the Office for Patents, 66, Chancery
Lane, in the County of Middlesex, Civil Engineer, do hereby declare. the
nature of the said Invention for "AN IMPROVEMENT IN PUTTING UP TOBACCO
FOR SMOKING, AND IN THE IMPLEMENTS OR PIPES FOR SMOKING THE SAME, AND IN
MAKING TOBACCO PAPER," to be as follows:-
The first part of this Invention consists in what may be termed tobacco
cartridges, or in other words in the manufacture of charges of tobacco of suit-
able quantity and form for filling a tobacco pipe in capsules of paper or other
material, whereby the use of the tobacco in a pipe is attended with greater
economy,.convenience, and cleanliness. The capsule or case enclosing the
DQ71

page_text: charge of tobacco is made in the form of an inverted truncated cone or of a
cylinder, according to the shape of the pipe in which it is to be used. A
central hole extends through the cartridge and tapers upward. The lower
portion of this hole is widened in the form of an inverted funnel to make a
cavity for the reception of a wad of loose raw cotton, which is to absorb the
essential oil or other liquid matter eliminated from the tobacco in smoking.
To use the cartridge it is placed in the pipe, which should be preferably so
formed as to leave a space between its bottom and the bottom of the cartridge,
and on the pipe being placed in the mouth, the smoker applies fire to the
central hole while he draws in his breath, and the tobacco having been ignited
at the centre the fire spreads quickly outwards and ignites the whole upper
surface of the charge. In smoking it burns gradually and regularly downward
until every particle has been consumed without waste, and the essential oil
and liquid matter containing nicotine eliminated in the process is collected in
the wad when the latter is used; the pipe is then inverted and shaken, and
the bottom of the capsule and the wad drop out, leaving the pipe clean.
One advantage of this Invention consists in the convenience it affords for
filling the pipe; another consists in its utilizing much of the stock which is
generally wasted in the tobacco mauufacture, being too fine or small to be
made into cigars or smoked loosely in a pipe; another is that there is none
wasted in filling or in being left unconsumed at the bottom of the pipe;
another is that an easy and regular draft is ensured, and with the use of the
wad the liquid matters eliminated are prevented from either collecting in or
fouling the pipe stem, or from entering the mouth and producing unpleasant.
and deleterious effects.
"
The cartridge may be perforated partly through from the bottom and
partly from the top, the perforations not quite meeting each other. Though
it is generally preferable to make the cartridges with perforations, it may
be desirable in some cases, as when they are intended for use at sea or to be
transported long distances by sea, or when they are exposed to dampness, or
kept in damp situations, to omit the perforations in their manufacture in order
the more effectually to exclude the saline air, which is injurious to tobacco,
but in such case they may be perforated with a penknife or other instrument
before or after inserting them into the pipe to provide for a proper draft and
enable the charges to be easily ignited.
The second part of this Invention consists in constructing a tobacco cart-
ridge for smoking, so that when in use, or in other words, when "being
smoked" it shall be sustained in or upon the tube or pipe with which it is
smoked by means of its bottom. The cartridge is composed of a capsule,

page_text: which envelopes it on all sides; also of a stiff bottom of paper, pasteboard,
or other suitable material, and of the tobacco which is enclosed within the
capsule. There is also a supporting perforated plate of metal or other stiff
material placed above the bottom and beneath the charge of tobacco so as to
form a complete diaphragm between them. The cartridge is made by form-
ing the bottom of suitable size as to thickness and diameter, of round form,
and with a small opening in its centre; this bottom is to be enclosed within
the capsule, which is to be then filled with tobacco and enclosed at top. The
pipe consists of a hollow stem, which is connected by a screw or other joint
to a chamber, into which it extends a short distance. Its end.is.bevilled or
pointed so as to be free or clear of the sides of the chamber, which may be
cylindrical in form, or of any other shape, and it is to be furnished at its outer
end with a cover which may be taken off from time to time in order to cleanse
the chamber of nicotine and saliva which will collect therein; or if its outer
end is solid, then it should be provided with a bulb. or lower chamber
beneath for that purpose. A short tube is fixed in the side of the chamber in
an opening made for that purpose communicating with its interior. The tube
projects above the chamber, and it has a screw thread cut, on it, or its sides
are serrated so as to screw or become fastened into the opening of the
bottom of the cartridge. When the cartridge is fixed upon the tube the
upper part or top of the capsule is to be punctured so that when fire is applied
thereto the draught will cause combustion to begin on the surface of the
cartridge; or the top of the capsule may be thus punctured when it is made.
The cartridge is to be sustained wholly by means of its connection with the
tube of the chamber without any other support, and the bottom is therefore
to be of sufficient strength for this purpose.
The third part of this Invention consists in a smoking tube or pipe adapted
to be used in connection with tobacco cartridges. Tobacco pipes or tubes
which have bowls to contain the tobacco soon become foul and emit offensive
odours. The best of the devices hitherto introduced to the public are subject
to the same objections as the simplest pipe, and in all of them the bowl
becomes foul, and the smoker is soon compelled to choose a fresh pipe. The
pipe has a stem whose mouthpiece has an elastic ring slipped upon it. Its
other end is bevilled, and at the beginning, of the bevil a screw thread is cut
upon it, which takes into a screw thread cut in one end of the cylinder, thus
securing them to each other. The other end of the cylinder is closed. The
upper and under sides of the cylinder have threaded holes tapped in them, the
· lower one to receive the upper end of a threaded tube which serves to connect
a reservoir of any, desirable shape to the cylinder, and the upper one.to

page_text: receive a threaded tube which passes upwards through and beyond a heat
radiator so as to take hold of or screw into the bottom of a tobacco cartridge.
The upper end of the tube may be barbed or corrugated, or be divided longi.
tudinally, and made so that its sides shall have a tendency to spring apart, and
thereby retain its hold upon the radiator and the bottom of the cartridge, the
object being to cause the sides of the tube to serve as the retainer of the
radiator and the cartridge. The cartridge is made so as to have a bottom of
sufficient strength and stiffness to maintain its upright position upon the pipe
without other means of attachment or support during the process of smoking.
The bottom is perforated in its centre to receive the tube and fit to it snugly;
it is enclosed with the tobacco within a capsule which completely envelopes
the bottom and sides of the cartridge, and may or may not envelope its top
according to the manner of making it. The charge of tobacco may be sup-
ported clear from the bottom by a perforated curved diaphragm of metal or
other stiff material, but this is not necessary to the successful construction of
the cartridge nor to its successful use with a pipe. By this mode of smoking
tobacco a large portion of its residuum will be lodged upon and retained by
the bottom of the cartridge, and since the bottom is thrown away after the
cartridge is consumed, the smoker is relieved of the presence and consequent
bad and offensive odour in his pipe of that portion of the residuum. The
pipe may be made with a removable cover at its outer end attached by a
screw or other joint, and the bulb may then be dispensed with, since its office
is merely to form a receptacle which shall relieve the pipe of the saliva and
the products of any condensation which may take place in it, and enable the
smoker to cleanse the pipe from such accumulations. The inner end of the
stem is cut away so that its sides and end within the cylinder shall be clear
from the sides of the cylinder, whereby a space is left between them. The
.object of this construction is to create a space around the stem in which
liquids that collect at that end of the cylinder may be retained under the
stem so as not to be drawn therein with the draught of smoke and air.
The fourth part of this Invention consists in coating or preparing thin
sheets of fibrous material on one or both surfaces with fine particles of
tobacco, thereby utilizing tobacco which is generally abandoned as "waste"
or unfit for use, and enabling one to employ it for use in smoking after the
manner of leaf tobacco, which may if desired be made up into the form of
cigars or used to make the cartridges of tobacco already referred to. In
manufacturing these sheets I take a sheet of thin paper, tobacco leaf, or other
suitable fibrous material, and coat it with a solution of gum
arabic or other
suitable adhesive substance, and at once sprinkle thereon or otherwise apply

page_text: fine or pulverized tobacco until the whole surface is closely covered there-
with. The surface is then to be pressed, so as to make the particles lie as
compact and smooth as possible.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent,
filed by the said William Edward Newton in the Great Seal Patent.
Office on the 4th September 1865.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, WILLIAM
EDWARD NEWTON, of the Office for Patents, 66, Chancery Lane, in the
County of Middlesex, Civil Engineer, send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her Letters
Patent, bearing date the Fourth day of March, in the year of our Lord
One thousand eight hundred and sixty-five, in the twenty-eighth year
of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant
unto me, the said William Edward Newton, Her special licence that I,the said
William Edward Newton, my executors, administrators, and assigns, or such
others as I, the said William Edward Newton, 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 "AN IMPROVEMENT IN PUTTING UP TOBACCO FOR SMOKING, AND
IN THE IMPLEMENTS OR PIPES FOR SMOKING THE SAME, AND IN MAKING TOBACCO
PAPER," being a communication to me from abroad, upon the condition
(amongst others) that I, the said William Edward Newton, 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.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said William Edward Newton, do hereby
declare the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement, reference being had to the Drawings hereunto annexed,
and to the letters and figures marked thereon (that is to say):-
The first part of this Invention relates to what may be termed tobacco

page_text: cartridges, or in other words to the manufacture of charges of tobacco of
suitable quantity and form for filling a tobacco pipe, such charges being
enveloped in capsules of paper or other material, whereby the use of the
tobacco in a pipe is attended with greater economy, convenience, and
cleanliness. This part of the Invention is illustrated in the accompanying
Drawings from Figure 1 to Fig. 7, inclusive.
Fig. 1 is a side view of one of the tobacco cartridges; Fig. 2 is a vertical
section of the same; Fig 3 represents the form of the piece of paper of which
the capsule or cartridge case is made; Fig. 4 represents the paper folded and
partly formed into a conical tube; Fig. 5 is a side view, partly in section, of
the principal portion of an apparatus for making the cartridges; Fig. 6 is
a side view of the same portion of the apparatus without the cup in which
the cartridge is formed; Fig. 7 is a longitudinal central section of the
plunger, which serves the purposes of giving the capsules or cases the
proper form for, the reception of the tobacco, and for pressing the tobacco
into them, and finishing off the cartridges when closed.
A (Figs. 1 and 2) is the capsule or case enclosing the charge a of tobacco.
The cartridge is in the form of an inverted truncated cone, or it may be of the
form of a cylinder, according to the shape of the pipe in which it is to be used.
A central hole b extends through the cartridge and tapers upward. The lower
portion of this hole bis widened in the form of an inverted funnel, to make the
cavity c for the reception of the wad d of loose raw cotton, which is to absorb
the essential oil or other liquid matter eliminated from the tobacco in smoking.
In Figs. 5 and 6 B is a base of wood or other material, having secured in
it, in an upright position, a sharp-pointed taper pin e, at the bottom of which,
and concentric with it, is a cylindrical boss f,the pin projecting above the boss
to a length nearly equal to or greater than the depth of the cartridges to be
made. C (Fig. 5) is a cup of wood or metal, the form of whose interior
corresponds with the intended form of the exterior of the cartridge, preferably
that of an inverted frustum of a cone. The bottom of this cup is of suitable
convex form to produce the cavity cin the bottom of the cartridge, and in the
centre of it is an opening to fit the pin e when the cup rests on the top of the
boss f. Below this bottom there is formed a socket g, to fit to the exterior of
the boss f, upon which it is placed to hold the cup in position for the filling
and finishing of the cartridge. The plunger E (Fig. 7) is made of wood, and
its lower end », n, fits exactly the sides and bottom of the cup C, and is bored
centrally at to receive the pin e. The other end p of the plunger fits the
mouth of the cup, and has a central hole i to receive the pin e when the
plunger is inverted. The end is slightly countersunk, so as to produce a sharp

page_text: edgej all round. To make the capsules A, pieces of paper or other suitable
material are cut of the form shown in Fig. 3, and each, after having paste,
gum, or other suitable adhesive material applied along one edge, as indicated
in red tint in Fig. 3, is folded over a suitable flat former in the lines k, k, and
1, 2, the part outside of the lines l, l, forming a lap m, as shown in Fig. 4, and
adhering to the part on which it laps. When the lap is dry, the paper, now
in the form of a conical tube or bottomless bag, is placed on the lower
portion n, n, of the plunger E, and pushed tightly over it, and its lower edges
are turned into the wide mouth of the hole h. The plunger with the paper
upon it is then placed in the cup C,which is placed over the pin eaud boss f, as
shown in Fig. 5, and the plunger is drawn out, leaving the paper in the cup,
as shewn in outline in that Figure. The proper quantity of cut or granulated
tobacco is then poured into the paper around the pin c, and is rammed down
with the end p of the plunger E; the upper edges of the paper are then
folded over and pressed down by re-applying the end p of the plunger with a
suitable pressure. After folding over the upper edges of the paper, they may
be covered with a small circular piece of paper having its lower surface
covered with adhesive material, which by the last application of the plunger
is made to secure the edges, but this may not be absolutely necessary. The
capsule being closed up the cartridge is complete, the central hole b having
been formed by the pin e and the cavity c by the convex or conical bottom of
the cup.
To remove the cartridge from the cup, the cup is removed from the
boss f, and then pushed down upon the point of a bluut pin t, which enters
the hole in the bottom of the cup,and pushes out the cartridge. The wad of
cotton d may then be inserted or not, as may be desired. To use the cart-
ridge it is placed in the pipe, which should be so formed as to leave a space
between its bottom and the bottom of the cartridge, and on the pipe being
placed in the mouth, the smoker applies fire to the central hole b while he
draws in his breath, and the tobacco having been ignited at the centre, the
fire spreads quickly outwards. and ignites the whole upper surface of the
charge. In smoking it burns gradually and regularly downward until every
particle has been consumed without waste, and the essential oil and liquid
matter, which is eliminated in the process of smoking, is collected in the wad,
when the latter is used. When the tobacco has been consumed the pipe may
be inverted, and the bottom of the capsule with the wad will drop out, leaving
the pipe clean. One advantage of this Invention consists in the convenience
it affords for filling the pipe; another consists in its utilizing much of the stock
which is generally wasted in the tobacco manufacture, being too fine or small
to be made into cigars or smoked loosely in a pipe; another is that there is

page_text: none wasted in filling or in being left unconsumed at the bottom of the pipe;
another is that an easy and regular draft is insured; and with the use of the
wad d; the liquid matters eliminated are prevented from either collecting
in or fouling the pipe stem, or from entering the mouth, and producing
unpleasant and deleterious effects. The cartridge may be perforated partly
through from the bottom and partly from the top, the perforations not quite
meeting each other. Although it is generally preferable to make the cart-
ridges with perforations, it may be desirable in some cases, as when they are
intended for use at sea, or to be transported long distances by sea, or when
they are exposed to dampness or kept in damp situations, to omit the per-
forations in their manufacture, in order the more effectually to exclude the
saline air, which is injurious to tobacco, but in such cases they may be per-
forated with a penknife or other instrument (before or after inserting them
into the pipe),so as to provide for a proper draft, and to enable the charges to
be easily ignited. In such cases the cartridge will be partly penetrated only
by the perforation made in its bottom to receive the absorbing material d,
and the pin e must be varied in length accordingly.
The second part of this Invention consists in constructing a tobacco cart-
ridge for smoking, so that when being smoked it shall be sustained in or upon
the tube or pipe with which it is smoked by means of its bottom.
Fig. 8 shows a section of a tobacco cartridge so made, a pipe in connection
with which it may be used being also shown, and Fig. 9 is an elevation of the
cartridge.
The cartridge A' is composed of a capsule d', which envelopes it on all
sides, and is provided with a stiff bottom of paper, pasteboard, or other
suitable material. The tobacco a is enclosed within the capsule, and is
supported upon a perforated metal plate b¹ placed above the bottom c', so as to
form a diaphragm between the tobacco and the disc c'; this diaphragm is not
however, essential. The cartridge may be made of any shape, and is produced
by forming the bottom c'of suitable size as to thickness and diameter,of round
form, and with a small opening in its centre. This bottom is to be enclosed
within the paper capsule, which is to be filled with tobacco and enclosed at
top in the manner already described. The capsule should be made of such
material as not to injure the flavour of the tobacco or interfere with the
combustion in the process of smoking. The bottom c¹ of the cartridge is of
sufficient strength and consistency to answer as a support for the cartridge
while it is being smoked, and it furnishes the means whereby it is secured to
a pipe or mouthpiece. The pipe J¹, Figs. 8 and 11, consists of a hollow
stem, which is connected by a screw or other joint to a chamber g', into

page_text: which it extends a short distance, as shewn at Fig. 11. The chamber g¹
may be cylindrical, as shewn in Fig. 13, or of any other shape, and it is to be
furnished at its outer end with a cover f', which may be taken off from time
to time in order to cleanse the chamber g of nicotine and saliva which will
collect therein; or if its outer end is solid, then it should be provided with
a bulb or lower chamber beneath for that purpose. A short tube c¹ is fixed
in the chamber g¹, and projects above the chamber, and it has a screw thread
cut on it so as to screw into the bottom of the cartridge. When the cart-
ridge is fixed upon the tube the upper part or top of the capsule is to be
punctured, so that when fire is applied thereto the draught will cause com-
bustion to begin on the surface of the cartridge; or the top of the capsule
may be thus punctured when it is made. The cartridge is to be sustained
wholly by means of its connection with the tube of the chamber g', without
any other support, and the bottom c¹ is therefore to be of sufficient strength
for this purpose.
The third part of this Invention consists in a smoking tube or pipe
adapted to be used in connection with tobacco cartridges.
Fig. 8 shews a tobacco pipe in longitudinal section, with a tobacco cart-
ridge ready for smoking applied thereto; Fig. 10 is an end view thereof;
Figure shows an outside view of the cartridge detached; Fig. 11 is a
longitudinal section, and Fig. 12 an end view of a pipe and cartridge, the
form of the radiator being modified; Fig. 13 is a perspective view of a
cartridge.
The pipe J has a stem ¹, whose mouthpiece has an clastic ring U slipped
upon it; at its other end is a screw thread, which screws into one end of the
cylinder gl; the other end of the cylinder is closed by a cap piece fi. The
upper and under sides of the cylinder gl have threaded holes tapped in thein,
the lower one to receive the screw a', which connects it to a reservoir X' of
any desirable shape. In the upper hole a screwed tube e' is inserted, and
passes upwards through and beyond the heat radiator S', as seen in Figs. 8
and 1, so as to take hold of or screw into the bottom of a tobacco cart-
ridge A'. The upper end of the tube e' may be barbed or corrugated, or be
divided longitudinally, and made so that its sides shall have a tendency to
spring apart, and thereby retain its hold upon the radiator and the bottom of
the cartridge, the object being to cause the sides of the tube to serve as the
retainer of the radiator and the cartridge. The cartridge is made with a
bottom of sufficient stiffness to maintain it in an upright position upon the
pipe without other means of attachment or support during the process of
smoking. The charge of tobacco is supported clear from the bottom c¹ by

page_text: the perforated curved diaphragm 6¹ of metal or other stiff material, but this is
not necessary to the successful construction of the cartridge nor to its success.
ful use with a pipe. The cartridges may be prepared in the manner described
in the first part of this Invention or in any other way, and may be of any
convenient size and shape, providing always that their bottoms be of suf-
ficient strength and stiffness to serve as a means of attaching them to a pipe
and holding them securely in proper position until the charge of tobacco is
consumed in the process of smoking. By this mode of smoking tobacco a
large portion of its residuum will be lodged upon and retained by the bottom
of the cartridge, and since the bottom is thrown away after the cartridgeis
consunied, the smoker is relieved of the presence and consequent bad and
offensive odour in his pipe of that portion of the residuum. The pipe may be
made with a removeable cover at its outer end, attached by a screw or other
joint, and the bulb X" may then be dispensed with, since its office is merely
to form a receptacle which shall relieve the pipe of the saliva and the products
of any condensation which may take place in it, and enable the smoker to
cleanse the pipe from such accumulations. S is a radiator, whose office is to
intercept and disperse the heat arising from the combustion of the cartridge,
and thereby protect the cylinder g¹. The heat evolved in the act of smoking
will, without such a device, cause the tube e¹, which will usually be made of
metal, to expand in the side of the cylinder. When it contracts on cooling it
will fall away from the sides of the hole in which it is inserted, and the tube
becomes loose in its joint, and the pipe will be unfit for use. The radiator,
which will prevent this, may be made of any form. In Figures 8 and 9 it
has the form of a disc set tangentially to the cylinder, and in Figures 11
and 12 of a shallow cup; it may be made of any material, a good conductor
of heat being preferred. The part of the tube below it, and the cylinder itself,
will be protected by it from the radiated heat of the burning cartridge, and a
great part of the heat communicated to the upper part of the tube will be
conducted off by the radiator S. The radiator is removable, so as to enable
the smoker to use different shaped radiators upon his pipe. If the form shown
in Figures 11 and 12 be chosen the smoker will be able to use the tobacco
cartridge described in the first part of this Invention, shown in Figure 13, as
well as the improved cartridge with a hold-fast bottom above described.
The fourth part of this Invention consists in coating or preparing thin
sheets of fibrous material on one or both surfaces with fine particles of
tobacco, thereby utilizing tobacco which is generally abandoned as "waste
or unfit for use, thus admitting of employing it for use in smoking after
the manner of leaf tobacco.
"

page_text: Figures 14 and 15 represent specimens of tobacco paper prepared according
to this part of the Invention; Figures 16 and 17 show examples of articles
made of the material, and put up for smoking after the manner of a cigar.
They may be called tobaccorettes; Figure 18 is a cross section of the
tobaccorette shown in Figure 16; Figure 19 is a cross section showing a
tobaccorette made by filling a tube of the prepared material with fine or
waste tobacco; Figure 20 is a view of a tobacco cartridge made of the
prepared material, shewing the way in which it burns away in smoking;
Figure 21 is a tobacco cartridge of a greater length than that shewn in
Figure 20, shewing that they may be made of various lengths. Figure 14
and Figure 15 are examples of such material made according to this Inven-
tion, the material at Figure 15 being coated on both sides. In manufacturing
these sheets I take a sheet of thin paper, tobacco leaf, or other suitable
fibrous material, and coat it with a solution of gum arabic or other suitable
adhesive substance, and at once sprinkle thereon, or otherwise apply, fine or
pulverized tobacco until the whole surface is closely covered therewith. The
surface is then to be pressed, so as to make the particles lie as compact and
smooth as possible. In Figure 14 one of the surfaces of the material is
shewn covered with such a layer of fine tobacco, while the other surface is
left uncovered. If both surfaces are to be covered, as seen in example
Figure 15, the material should be allowed to dry a little before the second
surface is coated. When the material is ready for operation the workman
proceeds in the same way as in covering the first surface. This material, so
manufactured and prepared, can be applied in the manufacture of articles for
smoking after the manner of cigars, cigarettes, and tobacco cartridges. When
tobacco leaf is covered in this manner leaves of commnou tobacco can be used;
a coating or coatings of the dust and waste or refuse of the finest and most
fragrant qualities of tobacco may be applied to them, such, for instance, as
the refuse and fine dust of Cuban tobacco,which has hitherto been lost to the
manufacturer, because tobacco in that condition has been considered too fine
to be smoked, or to be manufactured into a condition to be smoked. Figure 16
is a tobaccorette manufactured therefrom, the tobacco paper used having been
coated on one surface only. It is composed wholly of tobacco paper, rolled
up in the form represented, with the coated side within the lap of the edge of
the material being made to adhere along the side of the cylinder or tobacco-
rette thus formed by means of a solution of gum arabic or other adhesive
substance. The material should be in a moist and pliable state when the
tobaccorette is manufactured. Figure 17 is a tobaccorette made in the same
way as the example Fig. 16, save that the tobacco paper used is coated: on

page_text: both its surfaces. One of its ends, which is to be received in the mouth, may
be coated by dipping it in dissolved gutta percha, or in any other way. It is
desired to form a coating thereon of the nature of a mouthpiece. The ends
of the tobaccorettes are to be trimmed, and the material is to be cut to any
desired shape before it is rolled up, so as to produce the style and size and
shape of tobaccorette required. Figure 18 shows a cross section of a
tobaccorette made by rolling up the material as above described. I also use
this material in making another style of tobaccorette by forming a tube of my
tobacco paper, lapping its edges, and pasting them together with any suitable
adhesive substance, and filling the same with fine tobacc, as shewn at
Figure 19. The tobaccorette may be fitted with mouthpieces of coiled
paper, of porous wood, or of a perforated plug of wood or other material.
When the tobacco paper used is coated on both sides, or the coated side is
without, that portion of the material which covers the ends to be received
into the mouth may he left uncoated. Tobacco cartridges may also be made
of this material, either by rolling up a narrow sheet thereof to the form and
size required, or by making the outside case thereof of tobacco paper, and
then filling it with fine tobacco, as shewn at Figure 20. Cigarettes and
tobacco cartridges (made by filling tubes of paper or other fibrous material
with fine tobacco, or by covering, rolling, or folding tobacco or tobacco shreds
within a sheet of paper,) sometimes burn unequally in smoking, their exteriors,
that is, their coverings or tubes, being consumed first, partly because their
coverings or tubes are more combustible, and partly because of the free
access of the air thereto. This Invention remedies this evil and defect, the
sides of tobacco cartridges and tobaccorettes made of tobacco paper manu-
factured after this Invention not only burning evenly all around the cir-
cumference, but also burning down at the same rate with the body and
interior of the cartridge or tobaccorette. The tobacco used in manufacturing
the material is or may be composed wholly of the fine "waste" tobacco
resulting from the making of cigars or other manufactures of leaf and other
tobacco, thereby saving and utilizing what would be lost.
Having now described the Invention that has been communicated to me
as aforesaid, and having explained the mauner of carrying the same into
effect, I claim as the Invention secured to me by Letters Patent as
aforesaid,-
First, the mode or modes herein set forth of manufacturing tobacco
cartridges capable of being smoked in the bowl of a pipe of suitable shape,
or without a bowl, but supported simply on a pipe, as shewn at Figures 8,
10. 11, and 12.

page_text: I also claim the mode or modes herein set forth of preparing tobacco
leaf, or artificial tobacco leaf, or tobacco paper for the manufacture of
tobacco cartridges and tobaccorettes.
In witness whereof, I, the said William Edward Newton, have here-
unto set my hand and seal, the Twenty-fifth day of August, in the
year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and sixty-five.
