IMPROVEMENTS IN TOBACCO PIPES AND CIGAR HOLDERS
Year: 1880

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Montague Friedlander, of Glasgow, in the County of
Lanark, North Britain, Cigar Importer, for an Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS
IN TOBACCO PIPES AND CIGAR HOLDERS."
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Montague Friedlander at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 13th January 1880.
MONTAGUE FRIEDLANDER, of Glasgow, in the County of LaDark, North Britain,
Cigar Importer. "IMPROVEMENTS IN TOBACCO PIPES AND CIGAR HOLDERS."
This Invention relates to a new or improved construction of tobacco pipes and
cigar holders, which by a simple device or fittings applied to their mounts shall
prevent the passage of nicotine or other poisonous juices into the mouth of the
smoker, and thus render such pipes or holders much more wholesome than
heretofore, while admitting of the use of strong tobacco when desired, without
causing undue expectoration and its consequent injurious effects. The improved
pipes or cigar holders may also be used for any length of time, and can be more
readily cleaned of the juices than pipes hitherto in use.
The Invention consists in fitting the shank or mount of the pipe or cigar holder
at or near its usual joint with a metallic or other internal conoidal or trumpet
shaped nozzle in the part nearest the pipe head, contracting in the direction in
which the smoke passes to a small outlet, and in the other part or mouth piece of
the pipe shank or in front of the nozzle end a small cup-shaped reservoir is fitted
or formed, into which the point of the conoidal nozzle projects when the two parts
of the pipe shank or cigar bolder are screwed or joined together.
The impure smoke is drawn through the conoidal nozzle into the cup-shaped
reservoir or chamber, where it reverberates or circulates over the internal surface
of this chamber, so as to condense and deposit the heavy vapours or juices, and the
purified or uncharged smoke passes through one, two, or more small outlet pin
holes in its end opposite the tube of the mouth-piece, but the nicotine and other
objectionable juices are retained in the reservoir which may be contracted at its
mouth, where the nozzle enters to prevent the return or escape of the juices at the
joint. The end of the reservoir opposite the nozzle with the outlet holes in it is
preferably formed of a convex or conical shape, so as to deflect the smoke or
vapours and assist the circulation and condensation of the juices within the
reservoir. The cup reservoir is readily emptied of its contents after smoking by
unscrewing or detaching the two parts of the pipe shank or cigar holder at the
joint, and blowing or shaking out the juices.

SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent filed by
the said Montague Friedlander in the Great Seal Patent Office on the 3rd
July 1880.
MONTAGUE FRIEDLANDER, of Glasgow, in the County of Lanark, North Britain,
Cigar Importer. IMPROVEMENTS IN TOBACCO PIPES AND CIGAR HOLDERS."
My said Invention relates to a new or improved construction of tobacco pipes
and cigar holders, which by simple devices or fittings applied to their mounts shall
prevent the passage of nicotine or other poisonous juices into the mouth of the
smoker, and thus render such pipes or holders much more wholesome than heretofore,
while admitting of the use of strong tobacco when desired without causing undue
expectoration and its consequent injurious effects. The improved pipes or cigar
holders may also be used for any length of time, and can be more readily cleaned
of the juices than pipes hitherto in use.
And in order that my said Invention and the manner of performing the same
may be properly understood, I have hereunto appended a Sheet of explanatory
Drawings representing modifications of improved tobacco pipes constructed in
accordance with my said Invention, and which I shall now proceed to describe.
The same reference letters are used in these Drawings to indicate the same or like
parts in the several Figures.
Figures 1, 2, and
are longitudinal vertical sections of three different con-
structions of my improved mounts applied to tobacco pipes, but which are also
applicable in the same form to cigar holders, and Figure 4 is a detached view
showing details of Figure 3.
Referring particularly to Figure 1 the Invention consists in fitting the shank A
or mount A of the pipe at or near its usual joint, with a metallic or other
internal conoidal or trumpet shaped nozzle B in the part nearest the pipe head
contracting in the direction in which the smoke passes to a small outlet, and in the
other part or mouth piece of the pipe shank or mount A", and in front of the
nozzle end B a small cup shaped reservoir C is fitted or formed into which
the point of the conoidal nozzle B projects when the two parts of the pipe shank A
or mount A', A", are fitted or screwed, or otherwise joined together. The impure
smoke is drawn through the conoidal nozzle B into the cup shaped reservoir or
chamber C where it reverberates or circulates over the internal surface of this
chamber C, so as to condense and deposit the heavy vapour or juices, and the
purified or unchanged smoke passes through one, two, or more small outlet pin
holes c in its end opposite the tube a of the mouth piece A, but the nicotine and
other objectionable juices are retained in the reservoir, which is in this example
contracted at its mouth where the nozzle enters, as shown in Figure 1 to prevent
the return or escape of the juices at the joint. The end of the reservoir C opposite
tbe nozzle B with the outlet holes c in it is preferably formed of a convex or
conical shape, as shown, so as to deflect the smoke or vapour and assist the
The cup
circulation and condensation of the juices within the reservoir C.
reservoir C is readily emptied of its contents after smoking by unscrewing or
detaching the two parts of the pipe shank or cigar holder at the joint, and
blowing or shaking out the juices.
In the example shown in Figure 2 the front part of the chamber C is not
contracted, and the shape of the mount A¹ is slightly changed to suit a different
size and shape of pipe shank A, whilst a longer bearing surface is given to the
joint of the mount A', A".
In Figure 3 the nozzle B is formed with a spoon bat its end in which the
nicotine and other juices collect, and from which they may be easily shaken out.
This nozzle part A¹ of the mount is shown detached in Figure 4 in side and end
view, and an end view of the other portion A" also shows the small holes c therein.

page_text: In other respects the mount is substantially the same as that shown in Figure 2,
the deflecting diaphragm or surface C with its small pierced holes c being in every
case retained.
Having thus described my said Invention, and the manner of performing the
same, I desire it to be understood that I do not restrict myself to the precise details
herein described or delineated, but what I believe to be novel and original and
therefore claim as the Invention secured to me by the hereinbefore in part recited
Letters Patent is,―
The construction and use in tobacco pipes or cigar holders, or the mounts of
the same of a trumpet shaped nozzle B fitted in combination with a deflecting
diaphragm and chamber C, wherein the smoke circulates and the nicotine and
other injurious juices are condensed and retained, all substantially as herein
described in reference to and shown in the accompanying Drawings.
In witness whereof, I, the said Montague Friedlander, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Second day of July, in the year of our Lord One
thousand eight hundred and eighty.
