page_text: I, JAMES REID of 34 Viaduct Road, Preston, Brighton, in the County of Sussex,
Gas Fitter, do hereby declare the nature of my invention to be as follows:-
:―
The improvements consist of a movable inner perforated plug to fit in the bowl and
to serve to form a receptacle thereunder being part of the bowl thereby forming a
chamber for smoke and oil, said chamber being furnished at its lower part with an
orifice fitted with a removable plug or screw cap so that on removal the smoke
chamber can be readily cleansed said features being in combination with a stem tube
made removable and to protrude through the usual hole for the pipe stem into the
middle or nearly so of the smoke chamber whereby the oil from the bowl is prevented
entering the stem. The pipe bowl may have a long hollow stem like projection and
the removable stem passed through such projection.

page_text: 1, JAMES REID of 34 Viaduct Road Preston, Brighton in the County of Sussex,
Whitesmith 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 :-
The general object of this invention is to provide a tobacco pipe or the like with a
receptacle or holder for oil or liquid so that the same is prevented from entering the
tube or mouth piece; with means for emptying such receptacle and for permitting
same to be removed for cleaning-The improved device mainly differs from such as
have been heretofore used in the position of the said receptacle which virtually forms
a part of the bowl, and in the general arrangement of the parts as hereinafter described
and claimed, reference being made to the accompanying sheet of drawings in which,
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section of the pipe-Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the receptacle
removed Fig. 3 is the combined lock nut and screw cap to closing the receptacle
below and for holding it in place.
A is the bowl and stem of the pipe, made of the usual materials of which pipes are
made The cavity in the bowl is made somewhat deeper than would in the usual way
be the case to allow space for the removable cup or receptacle B above referred to,
which may be made of bone, ivory, vulcanite or other suitable material. The stem of
the pipe is also bored out to a larger diameter than is usually done to make room for
the free insortion of the inner stem Cattached to the mouthpiece-In the bottom
of the bowl is also cut a rectangular or prismatic passage for the reception of the
similarly shaped lower extension of the cup B.-The cup B is formed as follows, it
consists of a hollow bowl & adapted to fit closely into the lower part of the pipe bowl A;
below the bowl is the rectangular or prisimatic extension 61 above referred to,
integral with the bowl b, its object being to secure the cup B against rotary move-
ment in the bowl and to accurately guide and hold the cup so that the hole 62 in the side
thereof may be opposite the centre of the tube of the stem for the reception of the inner
tube C. Below the part is the screw threaded portion 63 which projects below the
pipe bowl and on which the screw cap D is screwed, both to hold the cup in place and
to close the lower part of the same, since the cup b is open below through the parts bl
and The mouthpiece E may be secured in any desired manner to the bowl and
stem A, thus the part e thereof may accurately fit into the end of the stein-To the
mouthpiece is attached the inner tube or stem C which may be of bone or other
suitable material, this stem being of such length and diameter as to fit accurately
more or less to the hole 2 and project into the centre or thereabouts of the bowl or
cup -It is advisable to cover the cup b with a plug, in the drawing a plug G of
usual form is shown for this purpose.
To remove oil the cap D may be unscrewed, to clean the parts the cap D is
unscrewed, the mouthpiece with tube C removed and the cup B and plug G
pushed out.

page_text: 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 ;-
In tobacco pipes and the like
1) The combination with the bowl or tobacco-holder of a passage through the lower
part thereof and a cup adapted to fit to the lower part of the bowl having a hollow
screw threaded portion to pass through maid passage, and a screw cap for closing
and holding said cup substantially in the manner and for the purpose specified.
2) The combination with a bowl or tobacco holder having a removable cup in the
lower part thereof; of an inner stem projecting into said cup substantially as and for
the purpose specified.
3) The combination with a bowl or tobacco holder and stem, an orifice of prismatic
form in the base of said bowl and a cup fitting in the lower part of said bowl and
having a prismatic hollow extension to fit said orifice, and a screw threaded portion
to project therefrom; of a screw cap closing said cup and securing same, a hole in
said cup opposite the bore of the stem, a mouthpiece, a tube forming part thereof and
projecting through said hole into the cup, and a plug for closing the upper part of
said cup substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
