IMPROVE- MENTS IN TOBACCO PIPES
Year: 1885

page_text: I ALBERT FERDINAND LINK of 8 Union Court, Old Broad Street in the City of
London Merchant do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for IMPROVE-
MENTS IN TOBACCO PIPES a communication from abroad by Emile Haberer and
August Haberer both of Zornmühl, Strassburg, Germany Manufacturers to be as
follows:-
The object of my invention is to construct Tobacco pipes in an improved form
so as to intercept any moisture arising from the smoke and from the penetration of
the saliva.
In carrying out my invention I form a joint near the bowl of <the pipe; and
enlarge the bore of the pipe from such joint to the bowl, such bore being reduced
for a short distance from such enlargement to its entry into the bowl. A short
tube is fitted in the centre of the enlarged portion of the bore.
At the end of this
small tube nearest to the mouth piece an inverted cup is fixed, such cup partially
surrounding the small tube and forming a cul de sac in which the tobacco smoke is
compelled to travel in a reverse direction and again to pass outside the cup towards
the mouth piece.
The central hole in the mouth piece is carried forward nearly to its junction
Here it branches into two tubes which enter the enlarged portion of the pipe at
points a little exceeding the diameter of the inverted cup..
The smoke being intercepted in its course towards the mouth by means of the
enlargement of the tube, and the inverted cup, all disagreeable matter is there
condensed and prevented from travelling to the mouth piece.

page_text: I, ALBERT FERDINAND LINK, of 8 Union Court, Old Broad Street, in the City of
London, Merchant, 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 my invention is to construct tobacco pipes in an improved form so
as to intercept any moisture arising from the smoke, and from the penetration of
the saliva.
་
In carrying out my invention I form a joint near the bowl of the pipe; and
enlarge the bore of the pipe from such joint to the bowl, such bore being reduced,
for a short distance, from such enlargement to its entry into the bowl.
A short
tube is fitted in the centre of the enlarged portion of the bore. At the end of this
small tube, nearest to the mouth piece, an inverted cup is fixed, such cup partially
surrounding the small tube, and forming a cul de sac, by which the tobacco smoke
is compelled to travel in a reverse direction, and again to pass outside the cup
towards the mouth piece.
The central hole in the mouth piece is carried forward nearly to its junction.
Here it is slightly reduced and then branches into one two or more holes which
enter the enlarged portion of the pipe at points a little exceeding the diameter of the
inverted cup.
The smoke being intercepted in its course towards the mouth, by means of the
enlargement of the tube, and the inverted cup, all disagreeable matter is there
eondensed and prevented from travelling to the mouth piece.
And in order that my said invention may be particularly described and ascer-
tained, reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings, in which similar
letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section, shewing the improvement applied to a pipe for
smoking tobacco, and Fig. 2 is a similar section shewing the bowl separated from
the stem. a is the bowl of the pipe, b the stem, and c the mouth piece. d is the
enlargement near the bowl. e is a small tube fitted into the bowl, as shewn, and
traversing a portion of the enlarged space d. f is a piece of tube, fixed in the stem,
with which the cup g is formed in one, and having one two or more holes h h
branching off from its central bore, through which the smoke is drawn after being
deflected by the cup g.
It will be obvious that all deleterious moisture, whether arising from the tobacco
smoke or from saliva, will be collected in the enlarged space d, from which it can
be occasionally emptied.
My said invention may be applied to pipes of various forms, and to cigar holders,
the intercepting arrangement being modified to suit the construction of each article.

page_text: 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 claim is
The application to tobacco pipes and cigar holders, of an enlarged chamber d,
small tube e, inverted cup 9 and tube f, constructed arranged and operating"
substantially as and for the purposes herein before mentioned and shewn on the
drawings.
