Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
I, HENRY DICKS FANDERS, residing at 622 W. Chestnut Street, of Leadville,
in the County of Lake, and State of Colorado, United States of America,
Smelterman, 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:-
This invention relates to tobacco pipes, and the object thereof, is to provide an
improved device of this class which is so constructed that the air enters the bottom
of the bowl, and passes out through the top in the operation of smoking,
the smoke being carried downwardly through a passage formed in the side of the
bowl, and into and through the stem which communicates with said passage.
The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the
accompanying drawing forms a part, in which the separate parts of my improvement
are designated by letters of reference, said drawing being a central vertical
section of the bowl of a tobacco pipe, and a longitudinal section of the stem.
In the practice of my invention, I provide a pipe which comprises a bowl A,
which is provided with a removable cap or cover B, and said cap or cover is
preferably screw threaded as shown at C, and the upper part of the bowl is
provided with a corresponding screw thread 1), but said screw threads are not
necessary and may or may not be employed, and the cap or cover B, is also provided
with an annular flange or rim E, which rests on the top of the bowl.
Formed on, or connected with one side of the bowl, preferably the front side
thereof, is a receptacle F, the bottom of which communicates with the bottom of
the bowl by means of a passage G, and formed in the opposite side of the bowl
is a vertical passage H, which is open at the top and which is provided at its
lower end with an angular extension K, with which the central bore of the
stem L, communicates, and the bottom of the bowl of the pipe is provided with
a socket M, which is adapted to receive the inner end of said stem.
By means of this construction, I prevent nicotine and other substances from
passing from the bottom of the bowl of the pipe into and through the stem L,
and said stem may also be easily detached from the bowl of the pipe and cleaned
whenever necessary but this operation will be rendered much less frequently
necessary than in tobacco pipes as usually constructed, and it will also be apparent
that any nicotine or other substances that may collect in the passage G, through
which the air passes into the bowl of the pipe may be easily removed therefrom,
this passage being very short.
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:
1. A tobacco pipe, the bowl of which is provided with an air ingress_opening
or passage at the bottom thereof, said bowl of the pipe being also provided with
a detachable cap or cover, and in one side thereof, with a vertical passage which
onens upwardly, and the lower end of which communicates with the central bore
of the stem, substantially as shown and described.

page_text: 2. A tobacco pipe, the bowl of which is provided with a detachable cap, said
bowl being also provided in one side thereof, with an air passage, which com-
municates with the bottom thereof, and in one of its side walls with a vertical
passage which opens upwardly adjacent to the bottom of said cap, and the lower
end of which is in communication with the central bore of the stem, substantially
as shown and described.
