Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
I, ELIE PERRIN, of Rue des Promenades, St. Claude, (Jura), in the Republic
of France, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:
This invention relates to an improved tobacco pipe characterized by the use of
multiple stems, tubes and passages so that the smoke is divided whilst it is being
drawn in or aspired by the smoker.
The system on which my improved pipe is formed will be readily understood
from the following description reference being had to the accompanying drawing of
examples in which,
Figure 1 is an elevation of a pipe with a curved mouthpiece having my invention
applied thereto.
Figure 2 is a plan of the above.
Figure 3 shows my invention applied to a pipe with a single stem provided with
a mouthpiece having several branches.
Figure 4 shows my invention applied to a pipe with several stems and provided
with a mouthpiece made in a single piece.
Figure 5 shows my invention applied to a pipe having a single stem and mouth-
piece connected together by several tubes.
Figure 6 shows my invention applied to a pipe without a stem and provided with
a mouthpiece with several branches.
Figure 7 shows a mouthpiece formed with two branches each having a passage
opening into a common collector.
In all the figures, like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
As shown in Figure 2, the bowl a of my improved pipe is provided with two or a
larger number of stems a fitted with a mouthpiece or tube d having two or a larger
number of branches d'.
When the bowl has a single stem, as in Figure 3, it may be perforated by two
or a larger number of passages c which open into the bowl. These passages
are bell-mouthed or enlarged so as to receive the ends of the branches d¹ of the
mouthpieced and retain the same in position by friction.
In Figure 4 I have shown a bowl a having two stems a' connected to a mouth-
piece which is formed with a single passage divided towards its end G to
correspond with the passages in the two stems.
When the bowl and the mouthpiece are each of a single piece as in Figure 5, I
connect the mouthpiece with the bowl by two or a larger number of connecting
tubes b.
In cases where the bowl has no stem, as in Figure 6, the branches d³ of the
mouthpiece d are secured in the bowl a directly by friction.
I also reserve the right to make a mouthpiece with several branches each formed
with a passage as in Figure 7, the ends of these passages opening at the smoker's
end either directly to the exterior or into a common collector formed at this end.
In Figures and 21 have shown a bowl having two stems a' formed integrally
therewith. These stems receive the two branches d¹ which are themselves formed
integrally with the mouthpiece d.
To strengthen the stems formed on the bowl as well as the branches of the
mouthpiece I may provide a band or ferrule e on their ends or at their point of
junction.

page_text: My improved method of forming tobacco-pipes may also be represented by a pipe
having two or a larger number of tubes separated along their whole length and
connected, at any convenient point, by means of a band or ferrule or in any other
Buitable manner.
The mouthpiece and the bowl may however not have the same number of
passages or tubes; in this case the bowl may be connected to the mouthpiece by a
suitable reservoir into which pass the stems of the bowl and the branches of the
mouthpiece.
My improvements can be applied to pipes of any material and all kinds.
Moreover my passages and communicating tubes may be square, round, oval,
polygonal or of any other suitable form and be of any desired shape such as
straight. curved, undulating, etc., the various tubes, stems or branches of the same
pipe may also be of different form and configuration.

I, ELIE PERRIN, of Rue des Promerades, St. Claude, (Jura), in the Republic
of France, Manufacturer, 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 an improved tobacco-pipe characterized by the use of
multiple stems, tubes or passages so that the smoke is divided whilst it is being
drawn in or aspired by the smoker.
The principle on which my improved pipe is constructed will be readily
understood from the following description reference being had to the drawing of
examples filed with my Provisional Specification, in which drawing: :―
Figure 1 is an elevation of a pipe with a curved mouth-piece, having my invention
applied thereto.
Figure 2 is a plan of the same.
Figure 3 is a plan showing another form or modification of my improved pipe
having 1 single stem and provided with a bifurcated mouth-piece.
Figure 4 is a plan showing another modification of my improved pipe having two
stems and a mouth-piece made in a single piece with a bifurcated passage.
Figure is a plan showing another modification of my improved pipe having a
single stem and mouth-piece provided with two passages and connected together by
two tubes.
Figure 6 is a plan showing a further modification of my improved pipe in which
the bowl is made without a stem and is provided with a mouth-piece with multiple
branches, and
Figure 7 is a plan showing a mouth-piece formed with two branches each having
a passage opening into a common collector.
In all the figures, like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
If
As shown in Figure 2, the bowl a of my improved pipe is provided with two
stems a¹ connected by a mouth-piece or tube d having two branches d¹.
desired the said bowl is provided with a larger number of stems and the mouth-
piece with a corresponding number of branches.
When the bowl has a single stem, as in Figure 3 it may be perforated by two or
a larger number of passages c which open into the bowl. These passages are

page_text: bell-mouthed or enlarged so as to receive the ends of the branches d¹ of the
mouthpiece d and retain the same in position by friction.
a
In Figure 4 I have shown a bowl a having two stems a' connected to
mouth-piece d which is formed with a single passage divided towards its end, at G,
to correspond with the passages in the two stems.
When the bowl and the mouth-piece are each formed in a single unbifurcated piece-
as in Figure 5, with two or more passages, I connect the mouth-piece with the bowl
by two or a larger number of connecting tubes b.
In cases where the bowl has no stem, as in Figure 6, the branches d¹ of the
mouth-piece d are secured in the bowl a directly by friction.
I also reserve the right to make a mouth-piece with several branches each formed
with a passage as in Figure 7, the ends of these passages opening at the smoker's
end either directly to the exterior or into a common collector formed at this end.
In Figures 1 and 2, I have shown a bowl having two stems a¹ formed integrally
therewith. These stems receive the two branches d¹ which are themselves formed
integrally with the mouth-piece d.
To strengthen the stems formed on the bowl as well as the branches of the
mouth-piece, I may provide a band or ferrule e on their ends or at their point of
junction.
My improved method of constructing tobacco-pipes is also represented by a pipe
having two or a larger number of tubes made separately along their whole length
and connected, at any convenient point, by means of a band or ferrule or in any-
other suitable manner.
The mouth-piece and the bowl may, however, have a different number of passages.
or tubes; in this case the bowl is sometimes connected to the mouth-piece by a
suitable chamber or reservoir into which pass the stems of the bowl and the
branches of the mouth-piece.
My improvements can be applied to tobacco-pipes of any material and of all
kinds. Moreover the passages and communicating tubes of my improved pipe may
be square, round, oval, polygonal or of other suitable form, and be of any desired
shape, such as straight, curved, undulating, etc., the various tubes, stems or branches
of the same pipe may also be of different form and configuration.
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 :-
1. A tobacco-pipe having two or a larger number of stems or separate
communicating passages between the mouth-piece and the bowl, substantially
as hereinbefore described.
2. The improved mouth-piece or tube for tobacco-pipes, having two or a larger
number of branches or passages substantially as herein before described.
3. The improved tobacco-pipe constructed substantially as described with
reference to either of the forms or modifications shown in the accompanying-
drawing.
