Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
We FREDERICK JEWELL of 11 Dennett's Grove, Dennett's Road, Peckham, in the
County of Surrey, Engineer, EDWARD CHARLES GARNHAM of 160 High Street,
Peckham, in the County of Surrey, Corn Merchant, and SEPTIMUS CLARENCE JOYCE,
of Oatlands, Burnt Ash Hill, Lee, in the County of Kent, Gentleman do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The invention relates to improvements in tobacco pipes and has for its object to
secure to the smoker all the advantages of a clay pipe combined with the more sightly
appearance of a wooden one and also to drain the nicotine from the bowl and prevent
its return thereto and to trap the same and prevent its entering the mouth of the
smoker.
In carrying the invention into effect we form the pipe of wood or other suitable
material and we form the bowl in two parts divided horizontally and connected
together preferably by means of a screw joint.
The upper part of the bowl we form with a rounded or other suitably shaped bottom
to constitute a seat for a clay bowl or lining and we form the clay bowl with a tubular
projection or nib on the bottom thereof which passes through a corresponding hole
formed in the seat and we preferably line the seat and the hole with a packing of
asbestos or other suitable material formed in one piece to the required shape by
pressing, stamping or otherwise and having for its object to prevent any moisture
rising between the two bowls.
By this construction we obtain beneath the clay bowl a chamber or trap into which
the nicotine drains, the return thereof to the clay bowl being effectually prevented by
the projection or nib thereon; and in order to prevent the accumulation of loose
moisture in the trap and to facilitate the removal of moisture therefrom we place
within such trap an absorbent tray of clay or other suitable material formed to fit the
pipe but with a hollow or concave bottom to receive the end of the clay stem as
hereinafter explained such tray being preferably held in place by the upper part of the
wood bowl, and capable of easy removal for cleansing or renewal, a central nib or stud
in some cases being provided for that purpose.
The projection or nib on the clay bowl affords a ready means of forcing it out from
the wood bowl when it is desired to replace it by a new one.
Within the wood pipe stem we introduce a clay stem or tube which is at one end
formed with a shoulder or shoulders or flange to come against a shoulder or stop
within the wood stem and thus insure its being placed in correct position with that
part beyond the shoulder or flange projecting into the trap or chamber beneath the
tray and preventing the nicotine passing to the smokers mouth.
Or the clay stem or tube may terminate with the wood stem and its end may be
formed to come against a seat therein.
At its other end the clay stem or tube is formed conical or taper or of other
suitable shape to fit a similarly shaped mouthpiece screwing or fitting into or onto the
wood stem so that the clay stem or tube is firmly held thereby and the clay stem or
tube near that end is formed with a projection or projections or shoulder or flange in
order to centralize it in the wood stem and thus insure the correct putting together of
the parts.
By these means we are enabled readily to remove the clay bowl and stem in order
to cleanse and replace or renew them and we at the same time efficiently drain the
nicotine from the bowl and prevent its returning thereto or passing along the clay
stem to the mouth of the smoker.

those herein named.

Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
We FREDERICK JEWELL of 11 Dennetts Grove Dennetts Road Peckham in the
County of Surrey, Engineer, EDWARD CHARLES GARNHAM of 160 High Street
Peckham in the County of Surrey Corn Merchant and SEPTIMUS CLARENCE JOYCE
of Oatlands Burnt Ash Hill Lee in the County of Kent Gentleman, 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 invention relates to improvements in tobacco pipes and has for its object to
secure to the smoker all the advantages of a clay pipe combined with the. more
sightly appearance of a wooden one and also to drain the nicotine from the bowl and
prevent its return thereto and to trap the same and prevent its entering the mouth
of the smoker.
In carrying the invention into effect we form the pipe of wood or other suitable
material and we form the bowl in two parts divided horizontally and connected
together preferably by means of a screw joint.
The upper part of the bowl we form with a rounded or other suitably shaped bottoni
to constitute à seat for a clay bowl or lining and we form the clay bowl with a tubular
projection or nib on the bottom thereof which passes through a corresponding hole
formed in the seat and we preferably line the seat and the hole with a packing of
asbestos or other suitable material formned in one piece to the required shape by
pressing stamping or otherwise and having for its object to prevent any moisture rising
between the two howls.
By this construction we obtain beneath the clay bowl a chamber or trap into which
the nicotine drains the return thereof to the clay bowl being effectually prevented by
the projection or nib thereon and in order to prevent the accumulation of loose
moisture in the trap and to facilitate the removal of moisture therefrom we place
within such trap an absorbent tray of clay or other suitable material formed to fit the
pipe but with a hollow or concave bottom to receive the end of the clay stem as
hereinafter explained such tray being preferably held in place by the upper part of the
wood howl with capability of easy removal for cleansing or renewal a central nib or
stud in some cases being provided for that purpose.
The projection or nib on the clay bowl affords a ready means of forcing it out from
the wood bowl when it is desired to replace it by a new one.
Within the wood pipe sten we introduce a clay stem or tube which is at one end
formed with a shoulder or shoulders or flange to come against a shoulder or stop
within the wood stem and thus ensure its being placed in correct position with that
part beyond the shoulder or flange projecting into the trap or chamber beneath the
tray and preventing the nicotine passing to the smokers mouth.
Or the clay stem or tube may terminate with the wood stem and its end may be
formed to come against a seat therein.
At its other end the clay stem or tube is formed conical or taper or of other
suitable shape to fit a similarly shaped mouthpiece screwing or fitting into or onto the
wood stem so that the clay stem or tube is firmly held thereby and the clay stom
or tube near that end is formed with a projection or projections or shoulder or
Hange in order to centralize it in the wood stem and thus ensure the correct putting
together of the parts.
By these means we are enabled readily to remove the clay bowl- and stem->in.

page_text: upper part a' of the bowl is formed with a descending part a to hold the absorbent
tray c in place with capability of easy removal for cleansing or renewal.
The nib or projection of the clay bowl b affords a ready means of forcing it
out from the wood bowl when it is desired to replace it by a new one.
Within the wood pipe stem d is introduced a clay stem or tube e which is at
one end formed with a shoulder or flange e to come against a shoulder d¹ formed
within the wood stem d and thus ensure its being placed in correct position with that
part beyond the shoulder or flange el projecting into the trap or chamber a' beneath
the absorbent tray c so as to prevent the nicotine passing to the smokers mouth.
At the other end the clay stem or tube e is formed conical or taper or it might be
of other suitable shape to fit a similarly shaped recess formed in a mouthpiece
fitting into the wood stem d so that the clay stem or tube e is firmly held thereby and
the clay stem or tube e near that end is formed with a shoulder or flange et or it might
be with studs or projections in order to centralize it in the wood stem d and thus
ensure the correct putting together of the parts.
In the modification represented at Figure 7. the clay stem or tube e is formed to
terminato with the wood stem d in which case the flange el of the clay stem e will
serve to centralize that end of the clay stem e in relation to the wood stem d.
In the modication represented at Figures 8 to 12 the absorbent tray c is formed
to fit the lower part a of the wood bowl and the upper part a¹ of the wood bowl is
provided with descending legs or distance pieces a to hold the absorbent tray c in
place the spaces between such legs forming ways for the passage of the smoke.
The absorbent tray c is in this example formed with a central stud or nib c³ by
means of which it may be readily removed from the wood bowl a.
The end of the clay stem e does not enter the trap a' to any appreciable extent
whilst the body of the clay stem e is formed of a diameter to fit or approximately so
the wood stem d and the necessity for the flanges e¹ and e* to centralize the ends e² e
of the clay stem e is avoided.
The end of the clay stem e is formed cylindrical to approximately fit a corre-
sponding recess f¹ in the mouthpiece and the mouthpiece has fixed thereon a
fitting which screws or fits onto the wood stem d in order to attach the mouth-
piece thereto.
In the modification represented at Figures 13 to 16 the absorbent tray c is supported
above the bottom of the wood bowl a in a manner similar to that represented at Figure 1.
but in this example the projecting ribs c' are dispensed with and two smoke ways c
are provided near to the centre of the tray c the bottom of the tray being formed with
corresponding rises in order to prevent the nicotine draining therethrough.
The clay stem e is at its end e² formed conical to fit a corresponding seat d formed
in the wood stem d and the opposite end thereof is similarly shaped to fit a corre-
sponding recess in the mouthpiece that end of the clay stein e being centralized
by means of a flange e: the inouthpiece f in this example screws into the wood
stem d.
The clay bowl represented at Figures 17 and 18 is common to all the examples
herein before given.
By these means we are enabled readily to remove the clay bowl and stem in order
to cleanse and replace or renew them and we at the same time efficiently drain the
nicotine from the clay bowl and prevent it returning thereto or passing along the
clay stem to the mouth of the smoker.
We may if desired form the pipe proper and other parts of suitable materials other
than those herein nained.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is:
1. In a tobacco pipe a loose clay bowl or lining b formed with a tubular nib or pro-
jection upon the hotton thereof in manner substantially as herein shown and
described and for the purpose stated,

page_text: 2. In a tobacco pipe in which a loose clay bowl 6 is fitted into the upper part a' of
a divided bowl and a nib or projection 6' of the clay bowl passes through a hole a
in the bowl al a packing piece or lining as formed of asbestos or other suitable material
in manner substantially as herein shown and described and for the purpose stated.
3. In a tobacco pipe an absorbent tray c located beneath the nib b¹ of the clay
bowl b and held in place by the upper part al of the bowl a in manner substantially
as herein shown and described and for the purpose stated.
4. In a tobacco pipe a clay stem e adapted to fit within the stem d and formed with
flanges or enlarged parts ee of greater diameter than the ends e² e³ in manner sub-
stantially as herein shown and described and for the purpose stated.
