Complete Specification Left, 31st May, 1897-Accepted, 3rd July, 1897.
I, EDWARD WILLIAM BRYANT, a citizen of the United States, residing at 125
West 64 Street New York City, County of New York, and State of New York,
United States of America, Writer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in pipes and more particularly to certain
new and novel means for avoiding as far as possible the fouling of pipes with
nicotine and for facilitating the cleaning of pipes after being used for some time.
With these and other important ends in view, the invention contemplates pro-
viding in an ordinary pipe of almost any construction in which, preferably the
mouth piece can be removed from the bowl and its adjacent stem, a tube made into
two parts and adapted to be secured within the bore of the entire stem so that the
same can be readily removed and cleaned when desired.
The invention consists of certain details of construction and arrangement of
parts which will be fully and clearly pointed out.
The bore of the entire stem is larger preferably, than in the ordinary stem to
receive the tube.
The tube is made in two longitudinal sections, the meeting edges of which
are preferably provided with due or more short series of corresponding notches
and projections by means of which sections can be easily and quickly fixed
together in their proper relative position.
The tube is also provided with an enlarged and threaded shoulder which is
adapted to screw into the threaded end of the stem and also to receive the threaded
end of the mouth piece, whereby the tube is securely fastened within the pipe and
the mouth piece is secured in position.
In the practical use of my improved pipe, I have found it desirable to make the
tube wider at its inner end than at its outer end, as clearly shown. The tube fits
snugly within the bore of the stem and the smoke of the tobacco passed only
through the tube and the nicotine that ordinarily collects in the bore of the stem
is retained in the tube.
After the pipe has been used for some time and it is desired to clean the same,
the mouth piece is first removed from the tube and then the tube is unscrewed from
the short stem, the two sections of the tube can be easily separated and cleaned.
Then the sections are arranged together, the notches and projections
forming a guide and partial lock for this purpose, and when so connected the tube
is screwed into place in the short stem after which the mouth piece is screwed
into position on the tube. It will thus be observed that the tube forms a rigid
base on which the mouth piece is screwed to the short stem and thus provided
a stem of unusual strength.
The pipe itself may be constructed out of any desirable material and I have found
aluminium a desirable material in many ways of which to make the tube.

page_text: Changes may be made in the form and proportion of parts of my invention and
in the details of construction but these are matters of simple mechanical skill and
expediency and fall within the scope of the invention.

I, EDWARD WILLIAM BRYANT, residing at 156 5th Ave., late of 125 West 64th
Street, New York, in the County and State of New York, United States of America,
Writer, 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 improvements in pipes and more particularly to certain
now and novel means for avoiding as far as possible the fouling of pipes with
nicotine and for facilitating the cleaning of pipes after being used for some time.
With these and other important ends in view, the invention contemplates pro-
viding in an ordinary pipe of almost any construction in which, preferably the
mouth piece can be removed from the bowl and its adjacent stem, a tube made in
two parts and adapted to be secured within the bore of the entire stem so that the
same may be readily removed and cleaned when desired.
The invention consists of certain details of construction and arrangement of
parts which will be fully and clearly pointed out and claimed hereinafter.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a pipe embodying my invention.
Figure 2 is a view of the tube removed from the pipe, and
Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view on the line
of Figure 1.
Referring to the drawings A designates the bowl of an ordinary pipe, having the
usual adjacent portion of the stem a and a mouth piece a'.
The bore B of the entire stem is larger preferably, than in the ordinary stem to
receive the tube C.
The tube C is made in two longitudinal sections c, c', the meeting edges of which
are preferably provided with one or more short series of corresponding notches D,
and projections d by means of which the sections can be easily and quickly fixed
together in their proper relative position.
The tube C is also provided with an enlarged and threaded shoulder E which is
adapted to screw into the threaded end of the stem a and also receive tha
threaded end 6 of the mouth piece a whereby the tube is securely fastened within
pipe and the mouth piece is secured in position.
In the practical use of my improved pipe I have found it desirable to make the
tube wider at its inner end than at its outer end, as clearly shown in Figure 1.
The tube fits snugly within the bore of the stem and the smoke of the tobacco
passed only through the tube and the nicotine. that ordinarily collects in the bore
of the stem is retained in the tube.
After the pipe has been used for some time and it is desired to clean the same
the mouth piece is first removed from the tube and then the tube is unscrewed from
the short stem a'. The two sections of the tube can then be easily separated and
cleaned. Then the sections are arranged together, the notches and projections
forming a guide and partial look for this purpose, and when so connected the tube
is screwed into place in the short stem a after which the mouth piece is screwed
into position on the tube. It will thus be observed that the tube forms a rigid.

The pipe itself may be constructed out of any desired material and I have found

Changes may be made in the form and proportion of parts of my invention and
in the details of construction but these are matters of simple mechanical skill and
expediency and fall within the scope of the invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
1. A tobacco pipe constructed as herein described and as shown in the drawing.
2. A pipe provided with the usual tubular stem and mouth piece, a tube com-
posed of two longitudinal sections, the meeting edges of which are provided with
one or more short series of corresponding notches, and projections, and having
an enlarged screw-threaded portion adapted to receive the enlarged screw-threaded
ends of the stem, and the mouth pieces to unite said parts together substantially.
as and for the purpose set forth.
