COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Tobacco Pipe.
1 FRANCE ELLIOTT, of Beaconsfield Terrace, Atherstone, in the County of
Warwick Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of my said 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 an improved tobacco pipe by which the nicotine,
ashes, or other poisonous matter is collected and prevented from passing into the
stem of the pipe and from thence to the mouth, and this I effect in a simple, cheap,
& effective manner.
Another important advantage to be obtained from the pipe is
that it can readily be cleaned in all its parts.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practice I have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings upon which I have
fully illustrated the nature of my said improvements and the means for carrying the
same into effect.
Figure 1 is a vertical section through the bowl of the pipe.
Figure 2 is a cross section on the line 1-2.
Figure 3 is a similar cross section to Figure 2 but shewing a modification.
In carrying my invention into effect I fit a thimble C formed of aluminum or
suitable material which reaches about half way up the bowl of the pipe A and
within this I fit the second thimble or bowl B which fits the mouth of the bowl A
and is turned over at 6¹ the cork, asbestos, or other fire-proof collar being fitted to
the inner rim of the bowl so as to make the joint between the bowl B and the pipe A
perfectly air and smoke tight. The bowl B is perforated at the bottom with the
perforations through which the smoke is drawn into the thimble C afterwards
being drawn over the tops of the intermediate bowl C and passing away to the
stem E, the intermediate cup or thimble C thus receiving all the nicotine and ash

page_text: intead of the same being allowed to pass into the stem. To retain the intermediate
thimble in position with the aperture around, I may form corrugations c³ in the
cup C so as to fix it in the bowl, and I may screw the metal bowl B onto the bowl
of the pipe if I so desire. It will thus be seen that the parts B and C can be readily
removed for the purpose of cleansing the pipe. In the action of using, the smoke
is drawn down through the perforations at the bottom of the thimble B and then
upwards over the rim of the thimble or cup C and then down to the stem, between
the pan C and bowl A of the pipe.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
An improved tobacco pipe substantially as and for purpose herein set forth and
shewn upon the accompanying drawing.
