Complete Specification Left, 14th Sept., 1896-Accepted, 28th Nov., 1896
I, MAXIME FRILLEY of Herserange, Department of Meurthe and Moselle in the
Republic of France, Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
The fundamental principle of this invention consists in the bowl being made and
fixed in such a manner that the smoke does not pass through the whole of the
tobacco, but merely through small layers of it which are consumed one after
another. The system is still further perfected by the addition of a piston, and a
lid with a grating to form an ash pan.
:
The bowl is closed at the bottom by means of a lid provided with a hinge and a
spring fastening. An ash-pan is secured in the lid.
The bowl is connected with the tube by a hollow pivot screwed at one end into
the bowl and turning at the other, with easy friction, in the bottom of the tube.
The bottom or lower end of the tube may be fitted with a receptacle for the
saliva.
The bowl is fixed on the pivot so as to turn with a slight pressure, all that is
needed is to bring it round with a half turn; then after the pipe is filled and
lighted, the bowl is brought back to its original position.
In proportion as the combustion proceeds, the smoker has only to press the
piston lightly now and again, in order to renew the layer of tobacco below the
orifice of the smoke-tube.
This pipe may be smoked in any position of the bowl, which the revolution on
its axis permits.
It may be confidently affirmed that this pipe does not become foul or choked
and the sole use of the receptacle mentioned is to collect the saliva which escapes
from the mouth of some smokers.
No vapours are condensed in the bowl and the tobacco is consumed to the last,
in a dry state.
Consequently the smoker may extinguish his pipe when only partly smoked and
he may re-light it after some time without finding the tobacco in any way spoiled
or impregnated with nicotine. The nicotine juice, so much objected to by smokers,
is never present in this pipe. There is therefore no waste.
The piston makes it unnecessary to use the fingers or any separate contrivance
for pressing the tobacco in the bowl.
The ash-tray lid relieves the smoker of all concern and trouble about the ashes,
as they fall of themselves into the bottom of the lid while the tobacco is being
consumed; it is, moreover, a safeguard against fire.
Of course, this pipe may be made in any shape and the most various styles.
Dated this 10th day of January 1896.

MAXIME FRILLEY of Herserange, Department of Meurthe and Moselle in the
Republic of France, Merchant, 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 fundamental principle of this invention consists in the bowl being made and
fixed in such a manner that the smoke does not pass through the whole of the
tobacco, but merely through small layers of it which are consumed one after
another. The system is still further perfected by the addition of a piston, and a
lid with a grating to form an ash pan.
The accompanying drawing represents my invention.
A is the bowl with its upper part filled and having an opening in the lower part;
B is the piston, its rod 6 terminating with a button 6 and passing through a
socket c, screwed in the upper part of the bowl. The bowl is closed at the bottom
by means of a lid D provided with a hinged and a spring fastening d¹. An ash-
pan G is secured in the lid.
The bowl is connected with the tube by a hollow.pivot P, screwed at one end
into the bowl and turning at the other, with easy friction, in the bottom of the
tube.
The bottom or lower end of the tube may be fitted with a receptacle for the
saliva.
The bowl is fixed on the pivot P so as to turn with a slight pressure, all that is
needed is to bring it round with a half turn into the position shewn in the reversed
diagram; then after the pipe is filled and lighted, the bowl is brought back to its
original position.
In proportion as the combustion proceeds, the smoker has only to press the
piston lightly now and again, in order to renew the layer of tobacco below the
orifice of the smoke-tube.
This pipe may be smoked in any position of the bowl, which the revolution on
its axis permits.
It may be confidently affirmed that this pipe does not become foul or choked
and the sole use of the receptacle mentioned is to collect the saliva which escapes
from the mouth of some smokers.
No vapours are condensed in the bowl and the tobacco is consumed to the last in
a dry state.
Consequently the smoker may extinguish his pipe when only partly smoked and
he may re-light it after some time without finding the tobacco in any way spoiled
or impregnated with nicotine. The nicotine juice, so much objected to by smokers,
is never present in this pipe. There is therefore no waste.
The piston makes it unnecessary to use the fingers or any separate contrivance
for pressing the tobacco in the bowl.
The ash-tray lid relieves the smoker of all concern and trouble about the ashes,
as they fall of themselves into the bottom of the lid while the tobacco is being
consumed; it is, moreover, a safeguard against fire.
..
Of course, this pipe may be made in any shape and the most various styles.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
A new piston tobacco-pipe distinguished by a bowl A opened at the top,
provided with an ash-tray lid D and a stopper or pressing piston B, pivoted on the

page_text: smoke-tube by means of the pivot P, the orifice of the smoke-tube being close to
the burning tobacco whilst the unlighted tobacco rests between the piston and the
said orifice.
