Improvements in and connected with Tobacco Pipes.
I, DANIEL JOSEPH FLEETWOOD of 12 Plough & Harrow Road Birmingham
in the County of Warwick Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
The object of the invention is to produce a pipe more or less of a cigar like
form & appearance and herein called a Cigaroid which may be formed in separate
pieces consisting of a bowl stem & mouthpiece screwed or otherwise secured
together. Or the cigaroid that is to say the bowl stem and mouthpiece may be
formed or moulded entirely in one piece hollow throughout.
Or the bowl and stem may in like manner be formed or moulded together without
the mouthpiece.
When the cigaroid is formed or moulded entirely in one piece and hollow
throughout it will be necessary to separate the bowl from the stem by inserting
through the bowl a removable diaphragm to form the bottom of the bowl. The
stem may also be furnished between the diaphragm forming the bottom of the bowl
and the mouthpiece with a second removable diaphragm through which the smoke
can filter. Or the two may be made in one piece as a double diaphragm.
When the bowl & stem only are formed or moulded in one and the cigaroid is
provided with a removable mouthpiece the diaphragm separating the bowl from the
stem may be produced in the process of formation or moulding and a second
diaphragm may be introduced through the open end of the stem.
The cigaroid may be made of any suitable material but in case the material
employed should not be sufficiently fire resisting the bowl may be made separately
of clay or of thin perforated non-corrosive metal or metal rendered non corrosive
by electro plating or of other fire resisting material.
The bowl and the whole or part of the stem may when necessary or desirable
have a protecting covering of wood paper or other suitable material which may be
embossed or ornamented to imitate a portion of tobacco leaf or with other
device.
The paper may be pasted & wrapped in folds or layers around the bowl & such
part of the stem as it may be the intention to cover and by this means the parts
will be secured together. Or the paper may be moulded as a cartridge or otherwise
formed or moulded to bring it as a covering to the shape required.
A variant of the cigaroid may be made by giving to the stem a bent shape to
cause the bowl to stand up more or less from the stem or by attaching the bowl to
the stem at an angle as is the case in the ordinary pipe.
In order to clean the cigaroid the removable diaphragm or diaphragms may be
extracted by means of a key or extractor & this key or extractor may be made in
combination with a stiletto & a tobacco stopper.

Improvements in and connected with Tobacco Pipes.
I, DANIEL JOSEPH FLEETWOOD of 12 Plough & Harrow Road Edgbaston
in the City of Birmingham in the County of Warwick Gentlemán 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 object of the invention is to produce a pipe more or less of a cigar like
form & appearance and herein called a Cigaroid which may be formed in separate
pieces screwed or otherwise secured together. Or the cigaroid may be formed or
moulded entirely in one piece.
Or the bowl and stem only without the mouthpiece may be formed or moulded
together.
When the cigaroid is formed or moulded entirely in one piece it will be necessary
to separate the bowl from the stem by inserting through the bowl a diaphragm
which may be a removable diaphragm or it may be cemented in its place. The
removable diaphragın may be slotted or it may be provided with a ring or loop of
wire to receive a key or extractor.
The stem may also be furnished with a second diaphragm or the two may be
made in one piece as a double diaphragm.
When the bowl and stem are formed or moulded in one the diaphragm may be
produced in the process of formation or moulding.
The cigaroid may be made of any suitable material but in case the material
employed should not be sufficiently fire resisting the bowl may be lined with or
made separately of clay or of thin non-corrosive metal or metal rendered non-
corrosive by electro plating or otherwise which metal lining may be perforated
or the bowl may be lined with or made separately of other fire resisting
material.
The bowl & the whole or part of the stem may when necessary or desirable
have a protecting covering of wood paper or other suitable material which may
be embossed or ornamented in imitation of tobacco leaf or with other device.
The paper may be pasted & wrapped in folds or layers around the bowl & such
part of the stem as it may be the intention to cover. Or the paper may be
moulded as a cartridge or otherwise formed or moulded to bring it as a covering
to the shape required.
A variant of the cigaroid may be made by giving the pipe a bent shape to cause
the bowl to stand up more or less from the stem thereby connecting the bowl and
stem at an angle as is the case in the ordinary pipe.
In order to clean the cigaroid the removable diaphragm may be extracted by
means of a key or extractor & this key or extractor may be made in combination
with a stiletto & tobacco stopper.
In the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 represents the shell (a) of a moulded cigaroid made in clay according to
my invention with wooden diaphragm (6) and
Fig. 1 represents a somewhat enlarged view of a removable double diaphragm
made to fit into a similar shell in which it is to be held in position by a ring of
cork or india rubber. The position of the ring is shewn in dotted lines at c Fig. 1.
The removable double diaphragm (Fig. 1A) is provided for the purpose of removal
with a wire ring (e) or in lieu of the wire ring (e) it may be slotted to receive a
key or extractor. d. d. d. d. (Fig. 14) indicate in dotted lines the smoke vents & the
arrows shew its direction and it will be seen that when the diaphragm is secured in
its place in the shell of the moulded cigaroid (Fig. 1) the smoke cannot get direct
from the bowl to the mouthpiece being intercepted by the ring of cork or india
rubber c. c. & is therefore caused to pass in & out through the diaphragm. A

page_text: more simple removable diaphragm may be used for a cheaper description of the
cigaroid.
Fig. 2 shews the bowl and stem of a cigaroid with diaphragm moulded in one
piece in the stem of which a wooden socket (f) is cemented to receive the
mouthpiece.
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of a clay variant in which the bowl &。stem
together with diaphragm are moulded in one piece and
Fig. 4 is a cross section of the same at
g. is a wooden socket cemented in as at
Fig. 5 is a perspective drawing of the variant to shew the junction of the bowl
with the stem. The inner portion of the bowl forming the diaphragm is flattened
and as it rises above the stem the flat shape is retained for convenience in moulding.
The bowl may however be rounded.

Fig. 6 is a perspective drawing of the variant looking into the bowl.
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
clain is
1. Constructing the moulded cigaroid with fixed or removable diaphragm sub-
stantially as herein described and set forth.
2. The removable diaphragm substantially as herein described & set forth.
3. Moulding in one piece the bowl diaphragm & stem of the cigaroid substantially
as herein described and set forth.
4. Moulding in one piece the bowl diaphragm & stem of the tobacco pipe herein
called a variant substantially as herein described & set forth.
5. Constructing the cigaroid in wood or other suitable material substantially as
herein described & set forth.
6. Constructing the variant in wood or other suitable material substantially as
herein described & set forth.
7. Constructing cigaroids with metal lining for the bowls substantially as herein
described & set forth.
8. Constructing cigaroids with paper coverings substantially as herein described
& set forth.
9. The improvements in and connected with tobacco pipes substantially as herein
described and set forth.
