PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tobacco-pipes.
I, JACQUES NOTTON, of Saint-Claude (Jura) in the Republic of France, Manu-
facturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a tobacco-pipe which is adapted to be taken to pieces, and
is provided with a nicotine reservoir that can be instantly emptied and cleaned, so that
the pipe may always be kept in very clean condition.
In order to render the said invention better understood I have represented the
improved tobacco-pipe constructed according to the same in the accompanying
drawing, but only by way of example.
In this drawing,
Figure 1 represents a section of the said tobacco-pipe and
Figure 2 is a modification of the arrangement shown in Figure 1.
On inspection of this drawing, it will be understood that the nicotine coming from
the bowl a passes through the isolating tube 6 into the reservoir c whence it cannot
enter the stem of the pipe, for at the end of the reservoir is placed a disc d of india-
rubber for the purpose of forming a tight joint between the said reservoir and the
isolating tube b, which arrangement constitutes a characteristic feature of this
improved pipe.
When the nicotine has arrived in the reservoir c it cannot return to the bowl of the
pipe nor pass to the mouth of the smoker, being prevented on both sides by the
isolating tubes.
To remove the nicotine from the reservoir the smoker has only to take out the
mouth-piece e with which the reservoir c is connected and then blow into the same for
all the contents to leave through the opening which the small disc d leaves when the
mouth-piece is withdrawn from the pipe. In the modification represented in Figure 2,
the disc d is held at the end of the isolating tube b and the reservoir c is made of a
single piece.
The form of the improved tobacco-pipe can of course be varied, and any suitable
substance other than india-rubber may be employed for making the reservoir. In
like manner the india-rubber disc herein before referred to may be replaced by a dise
of cork or any other appropriate substance.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tobacco-pipes.
I, JACQUES NOTTON, of Saint-Claude (Jura) in the Republic of France, Manu-
facturer, 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 a tobacco-pipe which is adapted to be taken to pieces and
is provided with a nicotine reservoir that can be instantly emptied and cleaned, so that
the pipe may always be kept in a very clean condition.
In the drawing left with my Provisional Specification I have represented by way
of example the improved tobacco-pipe constructed according to my invention.
In the said drawing.

page_text: On referring to the drawing it will be understood that the nicotine coming from
the bowl a passes through the isolating tube b into the reservoir c, whence it cannot
enter the stem of the pipe, for at the end of the reservoir is placed a disc d of india-
rubber for the purpose of forming a tight joint between the said reservoir and the
isolating tube b, which arrangement constitutes a characteristic feature of this
improved pipe.
When the nicotine has arrived in the reservoir c it cannot return to the bowl of the
pipe nor pass to the mouth of the smoker, being prevented on both sides by the
isolating tubes.
C
To remove the nicotine from the reservoir, the smoker has only to take out the
mouth-piece e' with which the reservoir c is connected and then blow into the same for
all the contents to leave through the opening which the small disc d leaves when the
mouth piece is withdrawn from the pipe.
In the modification represented in Figure 2 the disc d is held at the end of the
isolating tube b and the reservoir c is made of a single piece.
The form of the improved tobacco-pipe can of course be varied, and any suitable
substance other than india-rubber may be employed for making the reservoir. In
like manner the india-rubber disc herein before referred to may be replaced by a disc
of cork or any other appropriate substance.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is-
A tobacco pipe which is adapted to be taken to pieces, and which is characterized
by having two isolating projections to prevent the nicotine from passing, either into
the bowl of the pipe, or into the mouth of the smoker, the nicotine reservoir being
composed of an isolating projection secured in the pipe by means of a collar or washer
of india-rubber or other suitable material in such a manner as to enable the whole
device fixed inside the pipe by friction to be taken out, the whole being arranged
and combined as above described with reference to the drawing.
