Improvements in and connected with Pipes for Smokers applicable
also to Cigar and Cigarette Tubes.
I, GEORGE HENRY YOUNG, 39, Lord Street, Southport Tobacconist, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My improved pipe is intended to prevent the absorption of nicotine by the smoker.
In the ordinary pipe the bore extends right through the stem from the mouthpiece
to the bowl, and the oily matter or nicotine from the tobacco is sometimes drawn up
by the sinoker, an inconvenience which is avoided in my new pipe. In carrying my
invention into effect I arrange that the bore instead of running right through, is
blocked at the end which connects the stem with the bowl, and a hole is made to
communicate with the bore a short distance from the bowl end of the stem. Over
the end of the stem is fitted a metal or other suitable cap, in each side of which is
bored a hole and the end of the pipe-stem is grooved, so that when the cap is fitted
on the two holes are exactly over these grooves, this allows sufficient space for a free
draught. This arrangement entirely prevents the nicotine from entering the stem,
as it collects in the well beneath and, on the metal cap. The arrangement also
prevents the heat being drawn up the stem and burning the smoker's tongue. With
the above is combined an arrangement for creating a better draught and for keeping
clean the bowl of the pipe. The bowl is bored of larger diameter at the top than at
the bottom so as to form a ledge about half way up the bowl. On this ledge rests a
plug having radiating grooves in it. This plug has the advantage over the ordinary
one, in that it prevents the passage of the ash and induces a better draught. In
ordinary pipes the tendency is for the tobacco to burn on that side of the bowl which
is nearest the stem and often leaving the other part unconsumed, but with my
grooved plug the consumption is equalized. The essential features of my invention
are applicable to cigars and cigarette tubes or the like. The various parts of the
pipe can be made of any suitable materials or combination of materials.

with a ledge on which rests the horizontally grooved underside of the flange of a plag
the body of the said plug being or not grooved vertically, the whole substantially as
described in the above specification and exemplified in the accompanying drawing.
2. In pipes and the like for the use of smokers providing the push of the mouthpiece
with an extension of reduced diameter so as to leave a space between it and the
inner diameter of the stem, the said extended part being surrounded by a close fitting
cap projecting some distance beyond the end of the extended push, the said cap
having in it holes communicating with grooves provided in the cap-surrounded part
of the extension, the said grooves communicating with a chamber formed by the
outside of a further reduced extension of the push and the inside of the surrounding
cap, the bore of the mouthpiece not going right through but stopping short of the
end of the extended push, and being provided with a hole establishing communication
between the cap-surrounded chamber and the bore, the whole substantially as
described in the above specification and exemplified in the accompanying drawing.
3. The use in pipes or the like for the use of smokers of one or any or all of the
improvements which are the subject matter of the preceding claims 1 and 2.
4. The improved plug referred to in the above Claim 1.
