PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in Tobacco Pipes for the Effectually Trapping and
Disposing of the Nicotine in the Smoking of Tobacco in Wood,
Clay, Meerschaum, or other Pipes.
I Herbert Edward GRIFFITHS of No. 1 Coomassie Street Pillgwenlly Newport,
in the County of Monmouthshire, England, Joiner, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
The trapping of the nicotine is accomplished, by a novel arrangement of the smoke
passages A and D. The passage A is formed to pass from the bowl B to a small
metal cup C, which is screwed or socketted on to the projecting end of stem beyond
bowl, which passage A, conducts the smoke & other matter from the bowl, down to
said cup C. Then the smoke is drawn away up the passage D, leaving all injurious
matters in cup (, which may be removed & cleansed at will, by which arrangement
no moisture whatever can enter the mouth, the said invention to be applicable to pipes
of all kinds for the smoking of tobacco.
Dated this Twenty-first day of April 1890.

An Improvement in Tobacco Pipes for the Effectually Trapping and

I HERBERT EDWARD GRIFFITHS, of No. 1 Coomassie Street Pillgwenlly, Newport,
in the County of Monmouthshire England, Joiner, 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 trapping of the nicotine is accomplished by a novel arrangement of the smoke
passages A and D, (see drawings left with provisional specification). The passage A
is formed to pass from the bowl B to a small metal cup C, which is screwed or
socketed on to the projecting end of stem beyond bowl; which passage A conducts
the smoke and other matter from the bowl, down to said cup C. The smoke is then
drawn away up the passage D, leaving all injurious matters in cup C which may be
removed and cleansed at will, by which arrangement no moisture whatever can enter
the mouth.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I wish to finally observe,
that 1 do not bind myself in every detail to the actual drawings and specifications
above stated; but shall make the aforementioned invention in other and numerous
shapes; but still preserving and not in any way deviating, from the original invention;
the novel and original features of which I claim to be ;
Firstly. The entire disconnection of the main smoke passage D from the bowl, by
which arrangement no nicotine may reach the lips.
Secondly. The short smoke passage A which is totally disconnected from the main
smoke passage D, thereby drawing all matters from the bowl down to the metal cup C
without possibility of entering main smoke passage.

page_text: Thirdly. The completing or breaking of the draught circuit, by the aforementioned
metal cup C being put on or off the end of stem beyond bowl, and which, when taken
off admits of the main smoke passage being blown through to eject anything that may
by chance get in it.
HERBERT GRIFFITHS.
