Year: 1878

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to James Phillips, of Surrey House, Maple Road, Penge, for
the Invention of "AN IMPROVED PIPE TO SMOKE TOBACCO AND PREVENT
THE NICOTINE WHICH IS GENERATED IN THE PROCESS OF SMOKING FROM
PASSING INTO THE STEM OF THE PIPE."
Scaled the 1st October 1878, and dated the 5th July 1878.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said James Phillips at the Office
of the Commissioners of Patents on the 5th July 1878.
JAMES PHILLIPS, of Surrey House, Maple Road, Penge.
"AN IMPROVED PIPE TO
SMOKE TOBACCO AND PREVENT THE NICOTINE WHICH IS GENERATED IN THE
PROCESS OF SMOKING FROM PASSING INTO THE STEM OF THE PIPE."
The bowl of the pipe may be made of wood, meerchaum, or any suitable material,
with a false bottom or otherwise, to form a chamber to collect nicotine generated in
the process of smoking. A small plug or screw is placed at the bottom of the
bowl to draw off the nicotine collected. The false bottom has two holes, one on
each side, to allow the smoke to pass down into chamber. The stem is inserted or
screwed into and continued through the bowl and under the false bottom. The
stem is bored through to within a 1% of an inch of the end of the bowl, and a small
hole is made in and under the stem and the centre of chamber to allow the smoke
to pass freely.
The accompanying section will better shew my idea; A, the bowl; B, false bottom,
with hole on each side to allow smoke to pass down; C, stem passing under false
bottom, and continued through the bowl; D, eduction or small hole in and under
the stem and centre of chamber, through which the smoke passes into stem; E,
small plug or screw for drawing off nicotine collected in chamber. This pipe can be
smoked lying down, the nicotine not being able to pass into stem, no matter in what
position the pipe may be placed in.

JAMES PHILLIPS, of Surrey House, Maple Road, Penge. "AN IMPROVED PIPE TO
SMOKE TOBACCO AND PREVENT THE NICOTINE WHICH IS GENERATED IN THE
PROCESS OF SMOKING FROM PASSING INTO THE STEM OF THE PIPE."
The bowl of the pipe may be made of wood, meercham, or any suitable material,
with a false bottom or otherwise, to form a chamber to collect nicotine generated
in the process of smoking. A small plug or screw is placed at the bottom of the
bowl to draw off the nicotine collected. The false bottom has two holes to allow
the smoke to pass down into the chamber. The stem is inserted or screwed into
and continued through the bowl and under the false bottom. The stem is bored
through to within a 1% of an inch of the end of the bowl, and a small hole is made
in and under the stem and the centre of chamber to allow the smoke to pass freely.
I must now refer to the Drawing accompanying my Provisional Specification,
which will show more clearly my Invention. A is the bowl; B, the false bottom,
with hole on each side to allow the smoke to pass down; C is the stem passing
under false bottom and continued through the bowl; D is the eduction or small
hole in and under the stem and centre of chamber through which the smoke passes
into stem; E is a small plug or screw for drawing off the nicotine collected in
chamber: This pipe can be smoked by a person lying down, the nicotine not being
able to pass into the stem.
Having now described the nature of my Invention, and the means I employ to
.carry the same into effect, what I wish to securo by the herein in part recited
Letters Patent is, the construction of a pipe as substantially set forthi, and for the
purpose set forth, viz., preventing nicotine generated by tobacco from passing into
the stem of the pipe, and consequently the mouth of the smoker.
In witness whereof, I, the said James Phillips, have hereunto set my hand
and seal, this Third day of January, One thousand eight hundred and
seventy-nine.
JAMES PHILLIPS. (L.S.)
