PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tobacco Pipes, Cigar Holders, and such like.
I, FREDERICK HENRY WILLIAM BREININGER, Engineer, residing at "Sunnyside,"
Wychall Lane, King's Norton, in the County of Worcester, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to tobacco pipes, cigar holders, and such like, and has
for its object certain improvements which admit of the said pipes or holders
being more easily and effectively cleaned after becoming foul than hitherto.
According to this invention one insertion consisting of a tubular part made up
in sections, preferably in two halves, is applied to the fore of the stem of a
tobacco pipe or cigar holder, so that it can be withdrawn quickly and easily by
the simple unscrewing of the mouthpiece and fixed into position again by the
screwing up of the mouthpiece. The said insertion is, in one form, a split tubular
length of bone or clay extending for the most part the whole of the length of
the pipe's stem, or within a short distance of the tip of the mouth-piece, and
it is preferably made by putting together two semi-circular parts or half tubes.
Its outer diameter is formed conical in two longitudinal directions in order to
fit tight within the coned bore of the pipe's stem and mouthpiece and to be wedged
within the said bore by the screwing of the latter into the stem. The bore of
the insertion or divided tube length is equivalent to the bore of the mouthpiece,
and the one end of the said insertion can be either made to extend into the bowl
in the core of a pipe, or to stop short of the said bowl a short distance within
the pipe stem. A flexible washer may be fitted to the screw connection of the
mouthpiece in order to make a tight joint of all the parts and, if necessary, the
said mouthpiece may be subdivided and formed with a tip, in which case the said
tip could be attached by screwing into the outer end of the split tubular insertion.
In a pipe according to this invention the whole of the interior can be cleaned
by simply unscrewing the mouthpiece, withdrawing the insertion, opening the
latter, and wiping it clean, after which it can be again replaced; a clean smoking
pipe being the result.
The insertion can be made of a porous clay and could if desired be destroyed
when unclean and a new one refitted to the pipe.

page_text: I, FREDERICK HENRY WILLIAM BREININGER, Engineer, residing at "Sunnyside,"
Wychall Lane, King's Norton, in the County of Worcester, 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, cigar holders, and such like, and has
for its object certain improvements therein which admit of their bores being
more easily and effectively cleansed when foul than hitherto.
A complete pipe constructed according to this invention is shown in the accom-
panying sheet of drawings in longitudinal section in Fig. 1 and in cross section,
through the stem, in Fig. 2, the said cross section being taken upon the dotted
line Fig. 1, whilst in Fig. 3a like section is shown as Fig. 1 but with the parts
of the pipe separated, showing how easily its bore can be cleansed. The pipe
is built up of three parts, a bowl and shank a, a, a mouthpiece a³, and a removable
enclosed centre c, the last named, which is an insertion constructed and fitted
to the bore in a particular way, being, however, formed in two halves c², c³, which
when together, as in Fig. 1, form a tubular part. This insertion c is fitted to the
bore of the stem a of the pipe (formed of shank a² and mouthpiece a³) so that
it can be withdrawn easily and quickly by the detachment of the mouthpiece and
fixed tightly into position again by the attachment of the mouthpiece.
mouthpiece in the drawings is shown as fitting onto the end of the shank, under
the ferrule a, tight or a good fit, but it may screw onto the said end or be other-
wise connected. The insertion e is a split tubular length of bone or clay extending
the full length of the bore of the pipe's stem, and its outer diameter is formed
Jongitudinally into differentially coned or tapered parts et, e, which when the pipe
is compléte as in Fig. 1 seat themselves within the similarly coned or tapered
parts e, e of the bore of the stem so as to be wedged therein a tight fit by the
action of connecting the mouthpiece to the shank, the fit being such as to render
the joints of the parts air-tight.
The
The mouthpiece is connected to the shank a preferably so that these parts
can pull up together tight with the coned insertion between and within them,
and if the connection is a screw one a flexible washer might be used to make
good the joint. The insertion e may be covered with thin material such as linen
or paper, so that its better fitting within the bore of the pipe's stem may be
insured.
The mouthpiete a³ may be subdivided and formed with a tip g as shown in
diagram in Fig. 4 of the sheet of drawings, in which. case the said tip is attached
by screwing onto the outer end of the insertion c.
In a pipe according to this invention the whole of the interior can be cleaned
by simply unscrewing the mouthpiece, withdrawing the insertion, opening the
latter, and wiping it clean, after which it can be again replaced; a clean smoking
pipe being the result.
The insertion can be made of a porous clay, and could if desired be destroyed
when unclean and a new one refitted to the pipe.
The invention is equally applicable to cigar and cigarette holders, and its applica-
tion differs in no essential respect to that described and shown in connection
with a pipe.

page_text: 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:
-
First. In a tobacco pipe, cigar holder, and such like, fitting the bore of its
stem (which is made in two or more pieces) with a detachable insertion, formed
either in one piece or in sections, which is held fast within its assigned position
in the said bore by the connection of the parts forming the stem, substantially
as described.
Second. In a tobacco pipe, cigar holder, or such like, making the bore of a
two or more part stem differentially coned or tapered, and fitting to the said
bore a split tubular insertion of clay, bone, vulcanite, or such like, which is also
differentially coned or tapered externally to suit the bore, and which is held
jammed in its position by the connection of the loose parts of the stem, sub-
stantially as set forth in Figs. 1 to 4.
Third Constructing tobacco pipes, cigar holders, and such like, with the im-
provements specifically described and illustrated in Figs. 1 to 4.
