Improvements in Tobacco-pipes.
1, AUGUSTIN Gay, of 23, Boulevard de Strasbourg, Paris, in the Republic
of France, Landlord, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to tobacco pipes.
Nicotine contained in the form of fine drops in tobacco smoke is a strong poison
which is sometimes fatal and although the smoker may accustom himself to the same
it always affects his intellectual faculties.
In ordinary tobacco-pipes the nicotine passes almost directly and entirely into the
mouth; whilst in my improved tobacco-pipe it impinges against a cup-shaped baffle
piece, passes around the latter, and then impinges against a second baffle-piece, so
that it will be precipitated and fall together with the saliva into a reservoir, whence
both can be removed to the outside.
The smoke is drawn from the bowl through a short central tube and impinges
against a cup-shaped baffle-piece then passes back leaving behind some of its
nicotine. After this the smoke passes along the outside of the baffle-piece above
mentioned and also here leaves the nicotine behind. A. second battle-piece is
provided wherein more nicotine is taken up. Immediately above the first baffle-
piece holes are pierced in the lower part of a second short tube which is made in
one piece with the said baffle-piece and held in the mouth-piece so as to form an
extension of the same. One of these holes is provided in the upper part of the
tubular extension and another in the lower part so that at least one of them shall
be free.
The liquids which may rise from the bowl to the top of the first short tube drop
into the reservoir. This reservoir receives the fine drops given off by the smoke in
the first baffle-piece and falling from the edges of the latter. Furthermore it
receives the liquid flowing from the exterior of the first baffle-piece from the second
baffle-piece and from the upper part of the cavity in the stem. The reservoir is
emptied at times after the mouth-piece has been removed.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tobacco-pipes.
I, AUGUSTIN GAY, of 23 Boulevard de Strasbourg, Paris, in the Republic of
France, Landlord, 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 relates to tobacco-pipes.
Nicotine in the form of fine drops which is contained in tobacco smoke is a strong
poison which is sometimes fatal and although the smoker may accustom himself to
the same it always affects his intellectual faculties.
In ordinary tobacco-pipes the nicotine passes almost directly and entirely into the
mouth, whilst in my improved tobacco-pipe it impinges against a cup-shaped baffle-
piece passes around the latter, and then impinges against a second spherical baffle-
piece so that it will be precipitated and fall together with the saliva into a reservoir

page_text: whence both can be removed to the outside. In the accompanying drawing I have
shown how my said invention may be conveniently and advantageously carried into
practice.
The smoke is drawn from the bowl F through a short central tube T and
impinges against the cup-shaped battle-piece C then passes back, leaving behind
some of its nicotine. After this the smoke passes along the outside of the baffic-
piece above mentioned and also here leaves the nicotine behind. SS' is a spherical
or baffle-piece wherein more nicotine is taken up. Immediately above the baffle-
piece C holes are pierced in the lower part of a short small tube X which is made
in one piece with the said baffle-piece and held in the mouth-piece V. V. of the pipe
so as to form an extension of the suction tube Y. One of these holes is provided
in the upper part of the tubular extension and another in the lower part so that at
least one of them shall be free.
The liquid which may rise from the bowl F to the top of the first short tube T
drops into the reservoir. This reservoir receives the fine drops given off by the
smoke in the baffle-piece C and falling from the edges of the latter. Furthermore
it receives the liquid flowing from the exterior of the baffle-piece C from the
second spherical piece S S' and from the upper part of the cavity in the stem.
The reservoir is emptied at times after the mouth-piece has been removed or
separated at P.
The spherical or cup-shaped pieces are made as large as possible the dimensions
being determined by the size of the pipe and by the necessity for an easy suction.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of iny said inven
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
In a tobacco pipe as hereinbefore described the baffling, arresting or forcing
back of the tobacco smoke during its passage from the bowl to the mouth-piece so
as to cause it to deposit the greatest part of its nicotine this result being obtained
by the aid of separate and concentric spherical or cup-shaped pieces as above
set forth.
