JOHN ELLIOTT, of 31 Vernon Road, Leeds, Yorkshire, Railway Agent, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Taking the form of the pipes now commonly used for smoking tobacco, & the
holder, of the same shape, but generally of smaller size, used in smoking cigars, to
illustrate my description
I make the material forming the "head" or bowl, of the pipe, or holder, sufficiently.
thick to admit of the boring, or piercing, by the side of the cup, or receptacle, into
which is placed the tobacco, or cigar, a second, but much narrower, hole, of about the
same depth as the other, & connected with it, at, or near, the bottom.
On the side of the head, or bowl, in which the second, or smaller hole is made, I
fix the stem, or handle, connecting the hole, which passes through it (the stem) with
the smaller hole, at, or near the, top of it-instead of making it (the stem) at, or near,
the bottom of the bowl or head.
When the stem is fixed a little below the top, & not connected at that point (the
top) with the smaller hole, I put into the hole, a plug, or stopper, to prevent a
down-draught" through it, & the escape of the fumes of the tobacco, as the pipe, or
holder, is being used.
46
Thus formed, there is a connection between the hole in the stem, or handle, & the
cup, or receptacle for the tobacco, or cigar, through the second, or smaller, hole in
the head of the pipe, or holder.
The advantages of this form of pipe, or holder are:-1st. freedom to the mouth of
the smoker from nicotin, particles of tobacco which are drawn through the stem of
the common pipe, or holder, by its being directly connected with the cup (so called).
2nd., the comparative coolness of the smoke, produced by its passing along the second
hole in the head of the pipe, & indirectly from the tobacco, cigar or, cigarette, to the
smoker. 3rd., the pipe. or holder, can be very easily cleaned.

A Pipe for Smoking Tobacco or a Holder for Smoking Cigars and
Cigarettes.
JOHN ELLIOTT of 31 Vernon Road Leeds, Yorkshire, Railway 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 :—
The pipe, or holder, may be made of any suitable material. In the edge of the
bowl, or head, of the pipe, or holder, I form a small thoroughfare hole from the top to
the bottom, which I connect with the cup, or receptacle for the tobacco, cigar, or
cigarette, by a passage formed at, or near, the bottom of the said cup.
I fix the stem, or handle, of the pipe, or holder, at, or near, the top of the bowl, and
connect the passage through the stem with the thoroughfare hole before described.
I close each end of the thoroughfare hole by a removable plug, or stopper, thus
preventing, when the pipe is in use, any draught through the stem, or handle except
from the cup holding the tobacco.
The plugs, or stoppers are made removable so that the thoroughfare hole, may be
readily cleared of nicotine, or other objectionable material which may collect in it by
the act of smoking.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said invention,
& in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :-
1st. The formation of a thoroughfare hole in the edge of the bowl, connected at, or
near the bottom of the bowl, with the cup or tobacco-holder; & at, or near the top of
the bowl with the passage through the stem, or handle.
2nd. The construction of the said thoroughfare hole, with plugs, or stoppers, so as
to admit of its being easily cleaned.
