I, GASTON GRANDCLÉMENT, of Saint-Cloud (Jura), in the Republic of France,
Manufacturor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to bo as follows:-
My invention relates to an improved tobacco pipe, characterized by the application
of a plug of special arrangement to the bottom of the bowl, designed to prevent the
pipe being stopped or fouled and at the same time facilitating the draft.
In order that my invention may bo properly understood I have represented the
same by way of oxample in the accompanying drawing in which
Figure 1 shows a section of my improved tobacco pipe drawn to an enlarged
scalo aud
Figure 2 represents an elevation of the plug.
Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in both the figures.
My invention consists in a plug a of special arrangement, adapted to be screwed
into bottom of the bowl b of the pipe.
This plug, which is closed at its upper part, has a central conduit c in which
terminato a series of radiating horizontal channels d in any number, the said plug
being secured to the bottom of the bowl as shown in Figure 1 either by screw
threads or in any other suitable manner, the central conduit then terminates in
the stem e of the pipe, and the radiating channels in the interior of the bowl b
in such a manner that the latter can communicate with the stem e only through
the channels d and the central conduit c.
It will be observed that the more tobacco is put in and the more the pipe is
stuffed the hetter will be the smoking and the easier and more agreeable will be
the draft: now in the customary pipes this piling up of the tobacco has generally
the effect of obstructing the orifice of the stem; on the contrary owing to the
arrangement of the channels d the pushing down of the tobacco can never cause
obstructions.
The smallness of the circular space which exists between the periphery of the
device and the interior periphery of the bowl of the pipo has also the effect of
proventing the obstruction of the suction orifices.
This plug has moreover the effect of preventing any moisture remaining at the
bottom of the pipe and wetting the tobacco.
It will be understood that this plug may be made of any suitable material and
I reserve the right to modify the form and the dimensions according to the usos
for which it is designed.

Manufacturer, do hereby declare the maturo 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 invention relates to an improved tobacco pipe, characterized by the application
of a plug of special arrangement to the bottom of the bowl, designed to prevent tho
pipe being stopped or fouled and at the same time facilitating the draft.
In order that my invention may be properly understood I have represented the
same by way of example in the drawing accompanying my Provisional Specification
in which
Figure 1 shows a section of my improved tobacco pipe drawn to an enlarged
scale and
Figure 2 represents an elevation of the plug.
Similar letters of reference designate corresponding paris in both the figures.
My invention consists in a plug a of special arrangement, adapted to "bo screwed
into the bottom of the bowl & of the pipo.
This plug which is closed at its upper part, hns
central conduite in which
terminate a series of radiating horizontal channels d in any suitable number, the said
plug being secured to the bottom of the bowl as shown in Figure 1 either by
screw threads or in any other suitable manner; the central conduit then terminates
in the stem of the pipe, and the radiating channels in the interior of tho
bowl in such a manner that the latter can communicate with the stem e only
through the channels d and the central conduit c.
It will be observed that the more tobacco is put in and the more the pipe is
stuffed the better will be the smoking and the easier and more agreeable will be
the draft; now in the austomary pipes this piling up of the tobacco has generally
the effect of obstructing the orifice of the stem; on the contrary owing to tho
arrangement of the channels d the pushing down of the tobacco can never cause
obstructions.
The smallness of the circular space which exists between the periphery of the
dovice and the interior periphery of the bowl of the pipe has also the effect of
preventing the obstruction of the suction orifices.
This plug has moreover the effect of preventing any moisture remaining at the
bottom of the pipe and wetting the tobacco.
It will be understood that this plug may be mado of any suitable material and
I reserve the right to modify the form and the dimensions according to the uses
for which it is designed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declaro that what I
claim is :-
The improved tobacco pipe, characterized by the application of a plug of special
arrangement to the bottom of the bowl, designed to prevent the pipe becoining
stopped up while facilitating the draft, this plug having a contral conduit which
terminates in the stem of the pipe and a series of radiating horizontal channels

page_text: which communicate with the central conduit and terminato at the bottom of the
bowl of the pipe in principle, as described, for the purpose specified with reference to
the drawing.
