I, AUGUSTE DREYFUS, of 15 and 16, Featherstone Street, City Road, London, E.C.,
Pipe Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
:-
My invention relates to an improved tobacco-pipe, and has for its object to
provide a cool passage for the smoke before entering the mouth of the smoker.
In carrying my invention into effect I provide of wood, meerschaum, asbestos,
clay or other suitable material a bowl of any desired shape or configuration having
a short stem, the forward end of which terminates level with, or extends slightly
beyond the bowl, and in the said forward end a cavity is provided with which
communicates a smoke passage leading into the bowl, and into the said cavity is
fitted one end of a metallic, meerschaum, amber or other tube, so bent or curved
as to extend below the bowl, and along under, and concealed within a recess in,
the under surface of the said stem, suitable means being provided by which the
said tube may be easily fixed in this position, and as easily removed for cleaning
and other purposes if desired.
The back end of the said bowl-stem is adapted to receive a vulcanite, amber
bone or other mouth-piece, having two or more extentions which engage with
cavities in the said steni, one of the said extensions having a passage formed therein
which communicates with the smoke passage in the mouth-piece, and with this
passage the end of the before mentioned tube engages when the mouth-piece is fixed
in position. The smoke therefore when drawn by the smoker passes from the bowl
out at the forward end of the bowl-stem into the said bent tube, and conveyed
thereby along outside the stem into the mouthpiece and the mouth of the smoker,
and the increased distance traversed by the smoke, and by reason of the conduit
of this being outside instead of inside the bowl-stem as hitherto, the smoke becomes
cooled before reaching the mouth of the smoker.

An Improved Tobacco-pipe.
I, AUGUSTE DREYFUS, of 15 and 16, Featherstone Street, City Road, London, E.C.,
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:-

page_text: provide a passage or conduit for the smoke from the bowl to the mouth of the
smoker, by means of which the said smoke may be cooled during its travel.
In order that my said improvements, and the manner in which I purpose con-
structing a tobacco-pipe according thereto, may be fully understood," reference is
hereinafter made to the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal central vertical section of my improved tobacco pipe,
in which the component parts thereof are shewn detached from each other.
Fig. 2 is an outer view or side elevation of the same when the said component
parts are fitted together ready for use.
Fig. 3 is a section taken upon the line A B of Fig. 1.
In carrying my invention into effect I mould, turn or otherwise produce from
wood, clay, meerschaum, asbestos or other suitable material, a tobacco pipe of which
the bowl A may be of any desired size, shape and configuration, and either attached
by any suitable means to, or formed integrally with a short stem B, which may be
at any angle relatively to the said bowl, and for the purposes of my invention I
prefer that the forward end C of the said stem shall terminate either level with the
said bowl, or extend slightly therebeyond, preferably the latter as shewn, and in
the said portion CI bore mould or otherwise provide a cavity ID), which communi-
cates with the interior of the bowl A by the means of a straight or curved passage
or bore E.
I provide of metal, meerschaum, amber, bone, ivory, vulcanite or other suitable
material a tube F, bent or curved at G, the said curved end being so formed as to
provide a plug H adapted to fit into the cavity D, so that the bore or passage J in F
at this end communicates with the passage E in C. In the lower surface of the
stem BI bore or otherwise provide a groove or channel K (Fig. 3) adapted to
receive the straight portion of the tube F when its plug H is placed within the
cavity D as shewn in Fig. 2.
The back or opposite end of the stem B is adapted to receive a vulcanite, amber,
bone or other mouth piece L, of any desired shape or configuration, and either
straight as shewn, or curved or bent in any desired manner as suggested by dotted
outline in Fig. 1. The said mouth piece L is provided wth one or more extensions
or plugs M, which fit tightly into a like number of corresponding cavities N in the
stem B, and by means of these the said mouthpiece is retained connected to B.
The said mouthpiece has another extension or plug M', in which a passage or
bore is provided which forms a continuation of the smoke passage O in L, the
said plug M being so located, that when the tube F is in position within the stem B,
as at Fig. 2, and the plug or plugs M is or are in position within the cavity or
cavities N in B, the said plug M¹ engages with, and fits into the back end of the
tube F, so that this end of the passage in F communicates with the passage in L,
and by this means the tube F is retained within the cavity or groove K in B.
The smoke therefore when drawn by the smoker, passes from the bowl A, through
the passage E into the tube F, and along this into and through the passage O in L
to the mouth of the smoker, and by reason of the said tube F being practically
outside the stem B, it follows that the said passage through F' must be always
much cooler than it would be if this passed through the centre of the stem B as in
the pipes hitherto made and used, and by reason of this and the greater distance
the smoke has to travel, the smoke is cooled before it reaches the mouth of the
smoker.
Having now particularly described"and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:-
1st. The improved tobacco pipe substantially as herein described and shewn.
2nd. In an improved tobacco pipe, the employment of an independent tube for
conveying the smoke from the bowl outside the stem before reaching the mouth of
the smoker, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth and shewn.

page_text: 3rd. In an improved tobacco pipe, the combination of a bowl and stem such
as A B, adapted to receive and hold a straight or curved mouth-piece such as I,
and adapted to receive and hold an independent detachable smoke passage outside
the said bowl and stem, and communicating with the said bowl and mouth-piece,
substantially as and for the purposes herein described and shewn by the accom-
panying drawings.
