Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
I PHILIP ARTHUR NEWTON of the Office for Patents, 6, Brean's Buildings,
Chancery Lane in the County of London, Patent Agent, 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 :-
This invention has relation to improvements in pipes, and it consists in the con-
struction and novel arrangement of parts as hereinafter more fully described,
illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and pointed out in the appended claims;
and has for its object to provide a pipe for the use of smokers, the stem of which is
provided with a central or direct smoke passage, and also an auxiliary chamber or
tube below the central or direct passage, for the reception of nicotine or objection-
able matter, that forms and accumulates in the bowl and stem of the pipe, which
will flow into this chamber or tube and not be drawn into the mouth of the person
using the pipe. Every particle of tobacco may be burned in this pipe, making it
more desirable and economical, from the fact that what is commonly known as the
heel of the tobacco, that is, that part of the tobacco in the bottom of the bowl,
which, in the ordinary pipe, has to be thrown away, owing to the fact that it gets
thoroughly soaked with saliva and nicotine, is, in a pipe of this description, kept
thoroughly dry, and may be burned as readily as the tobacco at the top of
the bowl.
In the drawing:
--
Fig. 1 is a vertical, longitudinal section of a pipe embodying the present
invention.
Fig. 2 a side view of my invention, applied to a removable stem; and
Fig. 3 an enlarged detail view of the auxiliary chamber.
Referring to the accompanying drawing, in which like letters of reference indicate
corresponding parts in all the figures:
:-
A designates the bowl of a pipe, of any desired shape or material, and B the stem
thereof, which, in Fig. 1, is made integral with the bowl A.
At suitable points on the stem B, intermediate of its length, are formed bell-
mouthed openings b, which are provided at their lower edges with dependent
annular lips or flanges C, which, as plainly shown in Figs. 1 and 3, extend at an
angle from the stem B towards each other.
The letter D designates a flexible tube of such length, that when its ends & are
secured upon the dependent flanges C, a compartment or chamber E is formed
helow the stem.
The operation of the improved pipe, taken in connection with the above
description and accompanying drawing, may be briefly described as follows:-
When the pipe is in use, and saliva and nicotine form in the bowl and stem of
the pipe, they will, instead of being drawn through the stem into the mouth by
suction, as in the ordinary pipe, be deposited in the chamber E, and when it is
desired to cleanse the chamber E, the tube D may be removed, and emptied of its
contents.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me
from abroad, I declare that what I claim is :-
1. A tobacco pipe having its stem provided with a central or direct smoke
passage, and with lateral openings cominunicating therewith, and having pendent

page_text: tubular flanges around said lateral openings, and a tubular connection with said
lateral flanges, external of said central passage, substantially as described.
2. A tobacco pipe having its stem provided with a central or direct smoke
passage, and with lateral openings communicating with said central passage, and
having pendent tubular flanges around said lateral openings, and a flexible pipe
connection with said lateral Hanges, external of said central passage, substantially
as described.
3. A tobacco pipe having its stem provided with a central or direct smoke
passage, and with openings communicating therewith, and having a chamber below
said central or direct passage, connecting said openings, substantially as described.
