PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Pipes, Cigar-holders, and Cigarette-holders.
I ROBERT SPENCER Chemist, The Chestnuts Green Lanes Chester Road
Erdington in the County of Warwick do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object the lessening of the impact imparted by smoke
issuing from the end of a tobacco-pipe, cigar-holder or cigarette-holder.
By one modification of my invention I form the end of tobacco-pipe, tobacco-
pipe-mouth-piece, cigar-holder, or cigarette-holder, with the usual central-hole,
extending to any desired distance towards the outlet end of stem but in some cases
do not carry the central hole through the end of stem: I next pierce two, three,
four, or more small holes through the solid end of stem into the central hole
or main smoke-passage.
By the use of this first modification of my invention, the tobacco-smoke would
be drawn from the burning tobacco in bowl of pipe, or from the cigar or cigarette
fixed in holder, through the main smoke-passage, and would issue in fine jets
through the small outlet holes, thus distributing the smoke within the mouth of
smoker, in contradistinction to discharging a heavy column of pungent smoke
against the tip of smokers tongue or palate.
By a second modification of my invention I pierce a series of small holes
through the periphery of pipe end, mouthpiece end, cigar holder end or cigarette-
holder end so that the smoke would be drawn from the main smoke passage
through the small holes pierced in the shell, passing out through the external
periphical surface of stem, near the end thereof; the series of holes may be
pierced to enter the main smoke passage at any desired point thereof, forming any
desired angle.
By the use of this second modification a smoker using a pipe a cigar-holder or
cigarette-holder formed in the manner set forth in this second modification would
draw the tobacco smoke into his mouth through the series of small holes formed
on the periphery of end of pipe or holder, the smoke would thus be distributed in
the mouth in a radiating circular direction.
By a third modification I provide a cap to fit over pipe-stem or holder-stem the
periphery or end of cap being pierced with the required smoke passages.
I do not confine myself to any particular and specific material, as I may use clay
wood, vulcanite, bone or other suitable material.
Dated this 22nd der of October 1890.

Improvements in Pipes, Cigar-holders, and Cigarette-holders.
I ROBERT SPENCER Chemist, The Chestnuts Green Lanes Chester Road
Erdington in the County of Warwick 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 has for its object the lessening of the impact imparted by smoke
issuing from the end of a tobacco-pipe, cigar-holder or cigarette-holder.
By one modification of my invention I form the end of tobacco-pipe, tobacco-
pipe-mouth-piece, cigar-holder, or cigarette-holder, with the usual central hole,
extending to any desired distance towards the outlet end of stem but do not carry

the central hole through the end of stem: I next pierce two, three, four, or more
small holes through the solid end of stem into the central hole, or main smoke-
passage.
By the use of this first modification of my invention, the tobacco-smoke would
be drawn from the burning tobacco in the bowl of the pipe, or from the cigar or
cigarette fixed in the holder, through the main smoke-passage, and would issue in
fine jets through the small outlet holes, thus distributing the smoke within the
mouth of smoker, in contradistinction to discharging a heavy column of pungent
smoke against the tip of smoker's tongue.
By a second modification of my invention I pierce a series of small holes through
the periphery of pipe-end, mouth-piece-end, cigar-holder-end or cigarette-holder
end so that the smoke would be drawn from the main smoke-passage through the
small holes pierced in the shell, passing out through the external periphical surface
of stem, near the end thereof; the series of holes may be pierced to enter the
main smoke-passage at any desired point thereby forming any desired angle.
By the use of this second modification a smoker using a pipe, a cigar-holder or
cigarette-holder formed in the manner set forth in this second modification would
draw the tobacco-smoke into his mouth through the series of small holes formed on
the periphery of end of pipe or holder, the smoke would thus be distributed in the
mouth in a radiating circular direction.
By a third modification I provide a cap to fit over pipe-stem or holder-stem, the
periphery or end of cap being pierced with the required smoke passages.
I do not confine myself to any particular and specific material, as I may use clay
wood, vulcanite, bone or other suitable material.
I will now proceed to describe with reference to the accompanying drawings the
manner in which my invention is constructed and used.
Figure 1 represents in section the shank of a round pipe or holder with small
smoke-passages pierced through end.
Figure 2 represents a plan of the end of Figure 1.
Figure 3 represents in section the shank of an oval pipe or mouthpiece or holder
with small smoke passages b in end.
Figure 4 represents a plan of Figure 3.
Figure 5 represents in section the shank of a round pipe or mouth piece, or
cigarette holder, or cigar holder, the small holes being pierced on the periphery.
Figure 6 represents the plan of end of Figure 5.
Figure 7 represents in section the shank of a round pipe, or mouth piece, or cigar
holder or cigarette holder, the main passage being open to the end, a cap being
provided to distribute the smoke.
Figure 8 represents a plan of the cap and shank Figure 7.
Figure 9 represents in section a plan of the stem shewn at Figure 7, shewing the
groove e formed to guide the smoke into passages.
Figure 10 represents the plan of an oval pipe-cap, mouth piece cap, cigar-holder
cap or cigarette-holder stem.
Figure 11 represents a plan of round cap, the small holes being pierced
horizontally similar to Figure 10.
Figure 12 represents a section of the round cap Figure 11.
In carrying out my invention I in some cases make pipes or holders with a
plugged central hole a and several small holes
In other cases I provide the small holes 6 and also leave the large central
passage a¹ open the same system is carried out with oval pipe-stems, mouthpiece
stems, or cigar holder stems, or cigarette holder stems as clearly shewn at Figures 3
and 4.
By a second modification the small holes are pierced around the periphery of the
stem as shewn at c.
By a third modification I provide a cap which is shewn with periphical piercings
at d the end of the stem being rounded and also grooved at e to allow the smoke to
pass through the said groove e into the outlet passages d.

page_text: I also in some cases prefer to use a cap pierced in the manner shewn at f
Figures 11 and 12, the shank end of pipes or holders need not be rounded when the
holes are pierced in cap as shewn at f. An oval shank can be used with end holes g
or with periphical holes similar to d.
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
1st. The piercing of a number of small holes through the end of a tobacco-pipe
stem, or mouth-piece stem, or cigar-holder stem, or cigarette-holder stem, the holes
radiating around the centre of stem as illustrated and described with reference to
Figures 1 and 2 or the holes being arranged to suit an oval stem as illustrated and
described in reference to Figures 3 and 4.
2nd. The piercing of holes around the periphery of a pipe-stem, or holder-stem
as illustrated and described in reference to Figures 5 and 6.
3rd. The utilization of a pierced cap on the end of pipe-shank, mouthpiece-
shank, or holder-shank, either with periphical piercings, or with horizontal
piercings as illustrated and described in reference to Figures 7-8—9—10—11—
and 12.
