PROPIONAL DI BUITIVATION.
Improvements in Tobacco-pipes.
I THOMAS CRABTREE of Woodhouse Mills Norden in the County of Lancaster
Clerk, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My present invention relates to tobacco-pipes, and has for its object the con-
densation and deposition of the nicotine, and the preventing of the same entering
the smokers mouth; to attain which I form in the stem of my improved pipe any-
where between the bowl and the mouthpiece, a chamber or hollow portion,
somewhat larger than the hole in the mouthpiece, and the hole or passage
immediately leading from the bowl.
The said chamber I divide into two compartments by means of a vertical or
oblique partition composed of strong thin material.
The said partition may have its upper portion in the form of a ring, hoop or tube,
and its lower portion just a thin strip.
"
Under the said chamber and extending through the side of the stem of pipe I
form an opening of a circular, square or other convenient shape, which extends
through the under side of the stem. Screwed or otherwise fitted or secured up to
the underside of the stem so as to surround and cover up the opening therein just
before described, I arrange a well or trap constructed upon the "Excise or safety
ink-bottle principle, that is to say it is made with an internal annular or other pro-.
jection which extends from the sides or upper periphery thereof to near the bottom
of said well or trap, so that when the pipe is turned so as to place said well or trap
upside down the nicotine accumulated therein will not run back into the chamber
of the stem. The said well may be composed of glass earthenware or any other
suitable material.
The partition which divides the chamber formed in the stem extends down the
centre of the said well or trap, to the lower end of the annular or other projection
therein, so that when drawing or smoking the pipe the tobacco smoke is compelled
to pass through the well or trap before reaching the mouthpiece.
The well or trap may have a small plug or tap screwed or otherwise arranged so
as to be conveniently removed from time to time in order to run off or out the
nicotine as will be well understood.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tobacco-pipes.
I, THOMAS CRABTREE of Woodhouse Mills Norden, in the County of Lancaster
Clerk 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 :-
My present invention relates to tobacco pipes and has for its object the con-.
densation and deposition of the nicotine and the preventing of the same entering
the smokers mouth to attain which I form in the stem of my improved pipe any-
where between the bowl and the mouthpiece a chamber or hollow portion somewhat
[Price 81]

page_text: larger than the hole in the mouthpiece and the hole or passage immediately
leading from the bowl.
The said chamber I divide into two compartments by means of a vertical or
oblique partition composed of a strong thin material. The said partition may have
its upper portion in the form of a ring hoop or tube and its lower portion just a
thin strip. Under the said chamber and extending through the side of the stem of
pipe I form an opening of a circular square or other convenient shape which
extends through the under side of the stem.
"
Screwed or otherwise fitted or secured up to the underside of stem so as to
surround and cover up the opening therein just before described I arrange a well
or trap constructed upon the "Excise or safety ink bottle principle that is to say
it is made with an internal annular or other projection which extends from the
sides or upper periphery thereof to near the bottom of said well or trap so that
when the pipe is turned as to place said well or trap upside down the nicotine
accumulated therein will not run back into the chamber of the stem. The said
well may be composed of glass earthenware or any other suitable material.
The partition which divides the chamber formed in the stem extends down the
centre of the said well or trap to the lower end of the annular or other projection
therein so that when drawing or making the pipe the tobacco smoke is compelled to
pass through the well or trap before reaching the mouthpiece.
The well or trap may have a small plug or tap screwed or otherwise arranged so
as to be conveniently removed from time to time in order to run off or out the
nicotine as will be well understood.
In order that my invention may be well understood and so that it may be readily
carried into effect I hereunto attach a sheet of drawings and will proceed to
describe said invention by their aid.
Fig. 1 is a cross sectional elevation of my improved pipe and
Fig. 2 is a cross sectional elevation of a modification thereof.
Like letters of reference denote corresponding parts in each view.
Referring to Fig. 1 I arrange in the stems of pipe P a chamber or hollow
portion c which is somewhat larger than the hole in the mouthpiece m and
the passage p in the bowl b. The said chamber I divide into two compartments
by means of the vertical partition V which is composed of a strong thin material
such as brass it has its upper portion v preferably in the form of a tube which
is screwed into stem as shown and its lower portion is just a thin strip
forming the partition as aforesaid. Under the chamber c and extending through
the side of stem of pipe P I form an opening O preferably of circular form which
extends through the underside of stem as shown.
Screwed or otherwise fitted up to the underside of the stem so as to surround and
cover up the opening OI arrange a well or trap t constructed upon the "Excise"
or safety ink-bottle principle that is to say said trap t is made with an internal
annular or like projection w which extends from the sides or upper periphery to
near the bottom t of said well t so that when the pipe P is turned as to place said
well or trap upside down the nicotine accumulated therein will not run back into
the chamber of the stem but will remain in the well or trap no matter which way
the pipe may be turned. The said well or trap t may be composed of glass
earthenware or any other suitable material.
The partition which divides the chamber c extends down the centre of the well
or trapt as far as the lower end of the annular or other projection w so that when
drawing or smoking the pipe P the tobacco smoke is compelled to pass through the
well or trap t before reaching the mouthpiece m.
The well or trap t has a small plug screwed into the bottom thereof in order
that the nicotine accumulated may be run off when required.
In the modification of my said invention shown at Fig. 2 the partition part of
well t and flange wo are all made in one piece and screwed into. stem of pipe as
shown and in this case instead of employing a plug g I arrange a cap 9 which
screws over the part t of well and forms the bottom of said well t.

page_text: The nicotine accumulated in the well t may be removed by simply unscrewing
the cap g and cleaning the same out as will be well understood.
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:
an
1. In a tobacco-pipe the use of a well or trap t constructed upon the principle of
"Excise" ink bottle in combination with a partition for conducting the
smoke from the bowl through the said well previous to entering the smoker's
mouth substantially as described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
