Improvements in Smoking Pipes, Cigar Holders, and the like.
I, JOHN CHARLES BARKER, of 40, Crowtrees, Brighouse, in the County of York,
Engineer's Clerk, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
follows:-
1
as
The object of my invention is to construct tobacco or smoking pipes, cigar
holders, and the like, so that the saliva of the smoker is prevented from getting
into the body or bowl of the pipe or holder.
I construct the pipe stem with a hole bored or otherwise formed down the
icentre to within a short distance of the end, I then bore one or more holes at an
angle upwards to meet this, from the underside or at each side of the mouthpiece
of the stem, the mouthpiece may if desired be lengthened for this purpose.
By this construction of stem and mouthpiece, the saliva would have to pass
upwards before it could enter the stem proper and from thence into the bowl of
the pipe, but this is against natural law, therefore it is prevented from passing
into the bowl of the pipe, consequently there is not that disagreeableness in smok-
ing on this account as hitherto.

DRAWINGS
Fig. 1, shows an elevation of pipe with extended or elongated mouth piece,
and the opening into the mouth on the underside.
Fig. 2, is a plan of cigar or cigarette holder with openings into mouth at
sides.

page_text: Fig. 3, shows elevation of stem without elongated mouth piece.
Fig. 4, shows elevation of stem without elongated mouth piece.
A is the head of the pipe, B the stem which I construct with a hole C bored
or otherwise formed down the centre, to within a short distance of the end of the
mouthpiece D, I then bore one or more holes E at an angle preferably upwards,
to meet this from the underside, or from each side of the mouthpiece of the
stem; the mouthpiece is preferably lengthened for this purpose, but the principle
can be applied in boring the ordinary construction of mouthpiece.
By this construction of stem and mouthpiece the saliva would have to pass
upwards before it could enter the stem proper, and from thence into the bowl
of the pipe, but this is against natural law, therefore it is prevented from passing
into the bowl of the pipe, consequently there not that disagreeableness in
smoking on this account as hitherto, and the tobacco in the bowl remains dry
and can be smoked down to the bottom.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:
1. Constructing the stems of tobacco pipes cigar holders, and the like, with an
extended, lengthened or elongated mouthpiece, and with the hole or holes for the
entrance of smoke to the mouth, formed at an angle, preferably from the bottom
or sides, so as to prevent the saliva from entering the same, substantially as
shown and described.
2. Constructing the stems of tobacco pipes cigar holders, and the like, with
the hole or holes for the entrance of the smoke to the mouth at an angle (prefer-
ably upwards), either from the bottom or sides, so as to prevent the saliva from
entering the same substantially as shown and described.
