WALTER PARKER SMITH Berrow Road Burnham, Somerset, Civil Engineer, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
My invention consists of an improved Method of constructing tobacco pipes, so that
no liquid is permitted to pass from the bowl to the mouth, or in the opposite direction,
in.whatever position the pipe may be held. For this purpose I form two longitudinal
holes, one from either end of the stem, and I so arrange them that they barely meet each
other. From the outside of the stem and at a little distance from one another I drill,
or form two transverse holes, arranging them that they each intercept a longitudinal
hole. In the periphery of the stem I form two or more grooves so formed that they
intercept the transverse holes, or they may be connected to them by a channel. I
also connect these grooves by a channel or channels, or the orifices of the transverse
holes may be directly connected by a channel. I prefer to form these transverse holes,
and also the channel connecting them in a plug which forms one end of a loose mouth-
piece, this plug being either screwed or fitted in a recess forined in the stem. The
stem thus forms a cover both for the orifices of the transverse holes, and also the
channel, or they may be covered in by a cap piece or by a ferrule. The bowl and
stem may be constructed in one piece, or in two pieces with a similar arrangement of
transverse holes at the joint. Cigar holders may if desired be similarly constructed.
A filter such as is ordinarily used may be inserted where found convenient.

page_text: WALTER PARKER SMITH Burnham Somerset Civil Engineer, 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:-
My invention consists of an improved method of constructing tobacco pipes so that
no liquid is permitted to pass from the bowl to the mouth, or in the opposite direction
in whatever position the pipe may be held. In order that my invention may be better
understood, I will proceed to describe the same in relation to the drawing hereunto
annexed, reference being had to the letters and figures marked thereon. Like letters
refer to like parts throughout the drawing.
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal Section of a pipe.
Fig. 2 is a Plan of a Mouthpiece (obverse).
Fig. 3 is a Plan of a Mouthpiece (Reverse).
Fig. 4 is a Plan of a Modified arrangement of mouthpiece (Obverse).
Fig. 5 is a Plan of a Modified arrangement of mouthpiece (Reverse).
1 form two longitudinal holes A A' from either end of the mouthpiece E and so
arrange them that they barely meet each other-From the outside of the Mouthpiece
and at a little distance apart I form the two transverse holes B B₁ each transverse
hole intercepting a longitudinal hole-In the periphery of the mouthpiece I form the
annular grooves CC, these are connected by the channel D. Two or more of these
annular channels may be used, or the transverse holes may be directly connected.
The grooves are covered in by the stem F or by the ferrule G as shewn in Fig. 2.
The bowl and stem may be constructed in one piece, or if desired in more pieces
having an arrangement of transverse holes at the joints-Cigar holders may be
similarly treated-A filter may be inserted where found convenient.
-
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. The Combination of longitudinal and transverse holes, substantially as
described.
Secondly: The Combination of longitudinal and transverse holes, with channels
connecting the latter, substantially as described.
Thirdly. The Combination of longitudinal and transverse holes, Channels, and a
covering for the latter formed either by the stem or by ferrule or cap piece-substantially
as described.
