PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
I, ALEXANDRE VACHEROT, of 15, Rue St. Denis, Paris, in the Republic of
France, Civil Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
This invention has for its object a novel method of construction of tobacco pipes,
by which they are simple and easy to make, whilst the smoke is freed as much as
possible from the vapour of nicotine, by a simple method of condensation.
The improved pipe may be of any suitable material and external shape, a novel
arrangement being provided inside for the passage of the smoke (which is not drawn
directly into the mouth) in order to separate from it the nicotine vapours with which
it is always charged.
In my improved pipe the bowl is separated, by a partition below forming part of
the pipe, from a lower chamber from the upper part of which passes the passage to
the mouthpiece.
The central part of the partition, which is perforated, descends nearly to the
bottom of the chamber, so that when the smoke is drawn in it is purified by striking
strongly against a cover which is fitted upon and closes the lower end of the
chamber and in which the moisture is condensed and remains, whilst the smoke is
cooled and dried before passing to the mouthpiece. The cover beneath the
chamber is preferably of thin metal to facilitate the condensation of the vapour by
the difference of temperature between the interior and exterior of the pipe.
My improved pipe is cheap and easy to clean, whilst the stem is not likely to
choke, and the tobacco is pleasant and agreeable to smoke, and is consumed to the
bottom.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
I, ALEXANDRE VACHEROT, of 15 Boulevard St. Denis, Paris, in the Republic
of France, Engineer, 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 has for its object to produce a tobacco pipe which is simple and
easy to manufacture and separates the smoke as soon as possible from the nicotine

material or external shape of the pipe may be, 1 form the smoke passage in the
interior in such a manner that the draught is not direct for the purpose of purifying
the nicotine vapours with which the smoke is always charged.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood I have caused to
be appended hereunto one sheet of drawings marked with letters of reference
iudicating like parts in the various figures.

densors, provided that the principal of my invention which I have foreshadowed is
maintained.
The bowl C is separated, by a partition forming part thereof, from the
chamber B, in which latter is a passage A in connection with the stem E.
The smoke is drawn and descends through the passage A into the chamber B, in
which it purifies itself, being forcibly drawn against the cover D by which it is
condensed, before ascending into the tube E and thus arrives cool and without juice
in the mouth of the smoker.
The chamber B is closed by the condenser cover or lid D, by preference made of
thin metal which facilitates the condensation of the nicotine vapours contained in
the smoke by the difference of the temperature existing between the exterior and
interior of the pipe.
The advantages this pipe possesses are-easy to manufacture in any material and
at a less price, easy to clean and open, no clogging of the passage in the stem E
the tobacco being consumed completely and more agreeable and sweet to smoke.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim, is-
1st. The condensation device obtained by the difference of temperature between
the exterior and the interior of the pipe, as set forth.
2nd. The formation of the lower part of the pipe bowl C which causes the smoke
to strike forcibly the condenser D so as to purify itself by leaving the nicotine
which it contains behind before rising into the smoke passage of the pipe stem. E,
as set forth.
3rd. The arrangement specified in the preceeding claims for the purpose of
collecting the nicotine in solution between the pipe bowl C and the passage in the
pipe stem E by the medium of the condensor D set forth.
4th. The combination of the parts described forming a pipe in which the juice
does not enter the pipe stem E and the tobacco is consumed completely, all
substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated in the drawing annexed."
