Improvements in Tobacco-pipes.
I, SIDNEY SEPTIMUS OSBORNE of 324 North End Road London, S.W., Watch-
maker and Jeweller 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 invention relates to improvements in tobacco pipes and has for its object to
prevent the tobacco juice or impure nicotine from reaching the smokers mouth with
the smoke or otherwise. And in order that my invention may be more fully understood
I have shewn the same in the accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section of my improved pipe.
Fig. 2 is a cross section on line of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is an external view of the detachable inner tube and
Fig. 4 is a prospective view of the device by means of which the said inner tube is
divided into chambers.
In carrying my invention into practice, I provide an ordinary tobacco pipe P
having a stem S of suitable thickness and a detachable mouth piece M. 1 then hore
the said sten sufficiently to allow the insertion therein of a cylindrical tube t which
extends to the end of the stem and is tightly closed by a disc d fitted therein.
This disc has a central perforation leading to the narrow channel c which forms a
communication between the bowl B of the pipe and the stem S to allow a free passage
for the smoke.
Within the tube t is inserted the part o of a device consisting of a cylindrical
block screw threaded at its outer end e upon which is screwed the tapped end of the
mouth piece M after the device has been properly inserted in the tube t. This device
carries in front two discs d' d² perforated at f1f2 and mounted on an axis g fixed to
the part o which is furnished with an oblique perforation h forming a continuation of
the perforation of the cylindrical block b. The discs d' and d² divide in conjunction
with the disc d, the inner part of the tube t into three chambers n n' n² in which the
tobacco juice or impure nicotine is deposited as the smoke passes successively through
the channel e the central opening of the disc d and the openings f1f2 of the discs d' d
and reaches through the perforations and i the chamber N where the last portions of
the juice will collect while the smoke will pass through the channel m and reach the
smokers mouth dry i.e. without holding any juice in suspension. The pipe will require
to be cleaned occasionally which is readily effected by successively removing the
mouth piece M, the device band the tubet which can all be conveniently cleaned as
well as the perforation of the stem S. The parts being now replaced in their successive
orders the pipe will be found to smoke dry cool and free.
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.
My improved pipe consisting of the bowl B with channel c of the perforated stem
containing the tube with disc d perforated at f and the device 6 with discs d³ d²
perforated at f1f2 the chambers n n³ n² and the channels hi, of the nicotine chamber N
and of the mouth piece M. screwed to the outer ende of the block b inserted in the
tube t and in the stem S substantially as and for the purpose described and shown in
the accompanying drawings.
