Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.

page_text: Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
We, JOHN MCMULLEN, of 54, Hoghton Street, Southport, in the County of Lan-
caster, Physician and Surgeon, and GEORGE HOLLAND TURNER, of 23, Oak Street,
Southport, aforesaid, Chartered Accountant, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:
Our invention relates to improvements in tobacco pipes and the objects of our
improvements are to intercept the nicotine and steam deposited in the smoke pas-
sage before they can reach the mouthpiece, and also to cool the smoke before it
reaches the mouth of the smoker.
In carrying out our improvements we make any convenient passage from the
bowl of the pipe into a small glass or other cup or vessel, and connect the upper
part of this vessel by a small tube or its equivalent to the smoke passage in the
stem; or as an alternative the stem of the pipe might be connected direct to the
upper part of the cup.
In one construction we propose to employ a small tube which extends from the
bottom of the pipe bowl over the top and is then connected to the cup or vessel,
so that the smoke passes upward from the bowl and through the cup to the mouth
of the smoker.
By this construction the smoke must pass through the cup or other vessel where
the nicotine is deposited, and the smoke cooled before it reaches the mouth of the
smoker.
The cup is connected to the pipe so that it can readily be detached and attached
as required.

part of this vessel by a small tube or its equivalent to the smoke passage in the
stem; or as an alternative the stem of the pipe might be connected direct to the

In the accompanying sheet of drawings-
Figure 1 is an elevation and Figure 2 a sectional elevation of a tobacco pipe em-
bodying our improvements.
In these views, 1 denotes the bowl of the pipe, 2 a passage drilled in the side
of the bowl, 3 a metal or other tube connecting the passage 2 to a glass or metal
cup 4 or other vessel screwed or otherwise secured to the under side of the stem 5,
and 6 is the smoke passage in the stem leading from the cup 4 to the mouthpiece 7.
By this construction the smoke must pass through the cup 4 or similar recep-
tacle where the nicotine is deposited and the smoke cooled before it reaches the
mouth of the smoker.
The tube 3 and the cover of the cup 4 can be readily detached for cleaning or
other purposes when required and as readily replaced.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is:-
In combination, the bowl, the smoke passage and tube 3, the cup 4 or similar
receptacle, the stem 5 with smoke passage G and mouthpiece 7, all substantially
as and for the purposes herein set forth.
