Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
I, ADAM BURKARD, of 1, Rue Carnot, Antwerp, in the Kingdom of Belgium,
Pipe Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to an improvement in tobacco pipes, and it consists
essentially in inserting in the stem of the pipe a tube of straw or the like, the
object being to provide an absorbent for the nicotine which cau easily be renewed
when foul.
In the bore of the stem of the pipe, which is preferably fitted with a removable
mouth piece, is inserted a straw tube of such a length that its one end reaches to
the bottom of the bowl and the other end within a short distance of the end of the
month piece.
The smoke in passing through the straw tube deposits the nicotine, and when the
straw tube is foul and is no longer capable of absorbing the nicotine it is withdrawn
and a new one inserted.
This device is an exceedingly simple one, perfectly efficacious in its action, and
has the advantage that it can be adapted to all types of pipes.

I, ADAM BURKARD, of 1, Rue Carnot, Antwerp, in the Kingdom of Belgium,
Pipe Manufacturer, 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 an improvement in tobacco pipes, and it consists
essentially in inserting in the stem of the pipe a tube of straw or the like, the
object being to provide an absorbent for the nicotine which can easily be renewed
when foul.
In the accompanying drawing which illustrates this invention :-
Figure 1 is a view in longitudinal section of the complete pipe, and
Figure 2 is a view in longitudinal elevation of the mouth piece.
Throughout the views similar parts are marked with like letters of reference.
In the bore of the stem A of the pipe which is preferably fitted with a removable.
mouth piece B is inserted a straw tube C of such a length that its one end reaches
to the bottom of the bowl D and the other end within a short distance of the free
end of the mouth piece B.
The smoke in passing through the straw tube C deposits the nicotine, and when
the said straw tube is foul and is no longer capable of absorbing the nicotine it is
withdrawn and a new one inserted.

page_text: The straw tubes are preferably the stalks or stems of wheat, barley or other
grain.
This device is an exceedingly simple one, perfectly efficacious in its action, and
has the advantage that it can be adapted to all types of pipes.
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) The improvement in tobacco pipes, substantially as hereinbefore described
and illustrated by the accompanying drawing.
(2) The combination with a tobacco pipe the stem of which is preferably
formed in two parts, of a straw tube or its equivalent, as and for the purpose set
forth.
Dated this 25th day of March 1896.
