Improvements connected with Pipes for Smoking.
I, JOSHUA MICHAEL JACOBS, of 6 Castle Street, Falcon Square, in the City
of London, Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, which has
been communicated to me from abroad by Messrs. W. B. Haas & Co.,.
64 Rue d'Hauteville, Paris, France, Pipe Manufacturers, and in what manner the
same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the-
following statement :-
The object of this invention is a novel construction of reservoir pipe and consists.
essentially of the application or employment of a tube or stem and mouthpiece
formed of one single piece, the stem portion passing through extensions projecting
and at an incline from the bottom of the bowl from one side to the other without.
any screw or joint whatever, excepting at the nicotine reservoir which consolidates.
the whole together by fitting on to that end of the tube or stem which is opposite
to that forming the mouthpiece.
In order that the invention may be clearly understood I have shown the
construction in the annexed drawings but merely by way of example and by
reference to the drawings in the following description.
Figure 1 shows the general arrangement of this simple combined stem and.
mouthpiece a and nicotine reservoir f.
Figure 2 shows an exterior view of the bowl c and its bottom piece b.
Figure 3 shows a pipe in which my invention is affixed also the nicotine-
reservoir.
In all the figures the same letters of reference denote the same parts.
It will be seen in these drawings that the whole of the construction or system of
the pipe consists in a single tube or stem a, Figure 1, the part of said tube which
passes through the inclined extension of the tube or bottom piece 6 of the bowl c
being slightly conical or tapered. The stem or tube a has a hole d at that portion
of its length corresponding with the hole e in the bowl, so that the two holes.
will come opposite each other for the passage of the smoke.
It will be observed that as the bottom piece b of the bowl is of uniform diameter
throughout its length whilst the tube a is tapered it is not necessary that the
holes d and e should exactly correspond to ensure the free draw of the pipe; and
in Figure 3 is shown more clearly that surrounding the tube or stem a is a free
space or chamber by which communication between the two holes is always
ensured.
The tube a is fixed by friction, it is sufficiently long to pass out a certain length
beyond the bottom piece b of the bowl c and is screw threaded on the exterior for
the reception or affixture of the nicotine reservoir f which is screwed on to the
projecting end of the tube or stem a and forms a water tight joint.
I have referred to the stem a and the mouthpiece as composed of a single piece
but the projecting portion of the stem may if desired have a detachable mouthpiece
and form a continuation of the stem a, the stem a being inserted into the bottom
piece of the bowl c and held by friction and by the nicotine reservoir f as
previously described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The construction (system) of reservoir pine, in which the chief feature is the

page_text: long tube or stem a and mouthpiece as a single piece, the stem passing through the
bottom inclined extension b of the bowl e and fixed or held simply by the screw of
the nicotine reservoir f, substantially as above described with reference to the
example shown in the annexed drawings...
2. The tapered yet hollow stem a with mouthpiece as part of same or affixable
thereto, and its application, as set forth, to a reservoir pipe used for smoking.
