PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Smoking Pipes.
I, CHARLES JAGGER, of Peel Terrace, Ashton Road, Oldham, in the County
of Lancaster, Tin-plate Worker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in smoking pipes and has for its object
to produce a smoking pipe which will not allow the tobacco juice, nicotine, or
ashes to pass into the mouth of the smoker, nor run back into the bowl of the
pipe in whatsoever position the pipe may be held and which can be readily
cleaned out.
In carrying out my improvements I form inside the part between the bowl
and the mouth piece of the smoking pipe, which may be of any suitable type or
material, with a longitudinal cavity or chamber of suitable size, by either
employing a long ferrule or hoop on the stem or by boring it out and forming
a joint at the end next to the mouth piece to allow cleaning it out. At the end
of the longitudinal cavity or chamber near the bowl 1 insert or formn a smaller
tube projecting into the said longitudinal cavity or chamber and communicating
internally directly with the bowl. To the mouthpiece end, which is removable
at the said joint, I also form or attach a small tube which projects into the
longitudinal cavity or chamber. In front of this tube I form on or attach to the
aforesaid small tube a small shield smaller in diameter than the said longitudinal
cavity or chamber. Behind this shield form the smoke passage cross wise with
the ordinary straight passage. These small projecting tubes may, for expedience
be wrought out of the material of which the pipe is made, out of the solid.
In lieu of the said shield I may form the end of the said pipe with a T shaped
smoke passage, the ends of the T being inclined so as to prevent the tobacco juice
reentering the passage.
In smoking, the juice is drawn through the first small tube and is prevented from
entering the other by the said shield or T passage and falls into the longitudinal
cavity or chamber aforesaid, while the smoke is thus carried to the mouth in a dry
state. When the smoker lowers his head and the pipe bowl is downward the
accumulated juice lodges in the longitudinal cavity or chamber around the small
tube on the principal of a depressed ink bottle and when turned upside down, and
when the bowl is raised above the level of the mouth the juice is prevented from
passing into the mouth by the projecting tube formed or furnished with the said
shield or T piece. When the pipe is turned over in the other direction, as when
knocking out the tobacco or ashes, the juice runs round the sides or internal
diameter of the said longitudinal cavity or chamber.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Smoking Pipes.
I, CHARLES JAGGER, of Peel Terrace, Ashton Road, Oldham, in the County
of Lancaster, Tin-plate Worker, 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 improvements in smoking pipes and has for its object to

page_text: produce a smoking pipe which will not allow the tobacco juice, nicotine, or ashes
to pass into the mouth of the smoker, nor run back into the bowl of the pipe in
whatsoever position the pipe may be held and which can be readily cleaned out.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood I have caused to
he appended hereunto one sheet of drawings marked with letters of reference
indicating like parts in the various figures.
Fig. is a longitudinal section of a complete smoking pipe, Fig. 2 of the stem
part only, Fig. 3 of the bowl and Fig. 4 of the st 'm detached, provided with my
improvements. Fig. 5 is a modification of the internal part of the stem also in
longitudinal section.
In carrying out my improvements and referring to the figures generally I form
inside the part a between the bowl and the mouth-piece of the smoking pipe,
which may be of any suitable type or material, with a longitudinal cavity or
chamber of suitable size, by either employing a long ferrule or hoop on the stem
or by boring it out of the solid and forming a joint e' at the end, next to the month-
piece to allow of cleaning it out. At the end of the longitudinal cavity or
chamber a, near the bowl b, I insert or form a small tube d projecting into the
longitudinal cavity or chamber a' and communicating internally directly with the
bowl b.
f
The mouth-piece at its inner end I also form or provide with a small tube e,
which projects into the longitudinal cavity or chamber a In front of this tube
I form or attach a small shield, smaller in diameter than the longitudinal cavity
or chamber a'. Behind this shield form the smoke passage like in com-
munication with the ordinary straight passage. The small projecting tubes d & e
may be for expedience, wrought out of the solid of the material of which the
smoking pipe is made.
In lieu of the said shield I may form the end of the pipe e with a ▼ shaped
smoke passage e', see Fig. 5. the ends of the T being inclined so as to prevent the
sobacco juice re-entering the passage el.
In smoking, the juice is drawn through the first small tube & and is prevented
from entering the other by the shield or T passage and falls into the longi-
tudinal cavity or chamber a¹ aforesaid, while the smoke is thus carried to the
mouth in a dry state. When the smoker lowers his head and the pipe howl bis
downward, the accumulated juice lodges in the longitudinal cavity or chamber a
around the small tube d, on the principal of a depressed ink bottle and when the
bowl is raised above the level of the month, the juice is prevented from passing
into the mouth by the projecting tube formed or furnished with the said shield
or T passage. When the smoking pipe is turned over in the other direction, as
when knocking out the tobacco or ashes, the juice runs round the sides or internal
diameter of the said longitudinal cavity or chamber a².
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—
In smoking pipes, the bowl b, formed or furnished with a small tube d arranged
in combination with a tube e, formed on or fitted to the mouth-piece c, inside a
cavity or chamber a', the end of the tube e facing the tube d, being formed with a
shield and cross-wise with a smoke passage e' communicating with the cavity or
chamber a and the smoke passage in the mouth-piece c, substantially as and for
the purpose set forth.
