IMPROVE. MENTS IN TOBACCO PIPES AND CIGAR HOLDERS
Year: 1884

page_text: I, THOMAS DILLON, of William Street, Galway, in the county of Galway, Ireland,
Watchmaker, do hereby declare the nature of my said Invention for "IMPROVE.
MENTS IN TOBACCO PIPES AND CIGAR HOLDERS," to bo as follows:-
This Invention relates to improvements in tobacco pipes and cigar holders.
In forming the improved tobacco pipe, I connect the bowl of the pipe to a
reservoir of globular or other shapo, to which the stem or mouthpieco is also
connected, so that tho smoke in its passage from the bowl to the mouthpiece
circulates in the reservoir, and the nicotine or other noxious juices condenso inside.
The bowl and stem may be so connected to the reservoir that either of them may
be detached, and the reservoir is by preference formed with a flat bottom which
forms a supporting base, and prevents the pipe falling on its side when laid down.
When the stem is not made detachable from the reservoir, a small opening is formed
in the reservoir and is fitted with a plug which is removed after smoking the pipe
to shake out any juice which has collected in the reservoir. The reservoir may be
partially filled with water before using the pipe, and the part of the stem leading
from the bowl may be made to dip, so that the smoke passes through the water
before entering the tube of the mouthpiece. In any case the stem is connected to
the reservoir at a point which is out of the lino of the inlet from the bowl and at
a higher level.
In forming a cigar holder, the reservoir described, as applied to a tobacco pipe, is
interposed between the mouthpiece and the part of the holder in which the cigar is
inserted.

I, THOMAS DILLON of William Street, Galway, in the County of Galway, Ireland,
Watchinaker, do hereby declare the nature of my said Invention for "IMPROVE-
MENTS IN TOBACCO PIPES AND CIGAR HOLDERS ; and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
This Invention relates to improvements in tobacco pipes and cigar holders.
In forming the improved tobacco pipe, I connect the bowl of the pipe to a
reservoir of globular or other shape, to which the stem or mouthpiece is also
connected, so that the smoke in its passage from the bowl to the mouthpiece
circulates in the reservoir, and the nicotine or other noxious juices condense inside.
The bowl and stem may be so connected to the reservoir that either of them may
be detached, and the reservoir is by preference formed with a flat bottom which
forms a supporting base, and prevents the pipe falling on its side when laid down.
When the bowl is not made detachable froin the reservoir, a small opening is formed
in the reservoir, and is fitted with a plug or screw which may be removed after
smoking the pipe to shake out any juice which has collected in the reservoir, or for
allowing an opening through which the stem of bowl may be cleaned out in case
the bowl was not detachable. The reservoir may be partially filled with water
before using the pipe, and the part of the stem leading from the bowl may be made
to dip, so that the smoke passes through the water before entering the tube of the
mouthpiece. The stem is by preference connected to the reservoir at a point
- which is out of the line of the inlet from the bowl and at a higher level.
In forming a cigar-holder-the-reservoir-described, as applied to a tobacco pipe,
is interposed between the mouthpiece and the part of the holder in which the cigar
is inserted.
In the accompanying Drawings, Figures 1 and 2 are sectional views representing
modifications of tobacco pipes, constructed in accordance with my Invention. The
bowl B of the pipe, shown in Figure 1, is connected to the reservoir R near the
hottom, and the stem S of the mouthpiece is connected to the reservoir at a higher
level. The reservoir itself is formed with a movable cover to permit of the removal
of the juices or moisture which may collect therein.
In the pipe shown in Figure 2, the bowl B is fitted directly over the reservoir R,
and a shank or stem formed on the bowl dips into water or other fluid placed
within the reservoir, or so nearly touches the water as to cause the noxious juices
to deposit on the surface.
The mouthpiece part of the stem S is fitted in the reservoir above the water level.
The bowl and reservoir are separable, provision being mado for removing and
renewing the water in the reservoir.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is,―
The combination of parts forming the tobacco pipes and cigar holders herein
described and illustrated.
