page_text: PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
I, GASTON GRANDCLÉMENT, of Saint Claude (Jura), in the Republic of France,
Tobacco-pipe Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The invention which forms the subject of the present application relates to
tobacco-pipe stems characterized by the arrangement of two parallel tubes having the
effect,
(1) Of facilitating the holding of the stem of the pipe in the mouth, and of
augmenting the exterior cooling surface;
(2) Of diminishing the salivation and also the degree of intoxication of the smoke
from the tobacco, therefore the mixing of the air which is drawn in at the same time
as the smoke by reason of the interval which separates the two branches, whose
extremities terminate at the lips.
In order that the invention may be properly understood I have represented in
the accompanying drawing the arrangement by which such invention may be realized
and in which
Figure 1 shows the elevation of a straight stem of a tobacco-pipe.
Figure 2 is the plan of à straight stem having two separate branches.
Figure 3 is a horizontal section of the same.
Figure 4 shows the plan of a straight stem having two branches connected
by a transverse piece.
Figure 5 shows the elevation of a bent stem of a pipe.
Figure 6 is the plan of a stem furnished with a slot or opening.
Similar letters of reference designate the same parts in all the figures.
As will be seen in the drawing the stem of the tobacco pipe is constituted in principle
by two branches a pierced each with a passage b which terminates in the smoker's
mouth as shown in Figures 1 to 3.
The two branches a may be connected at any suitable point by a transverse
piece c not pierced in order to ensure the rigidity of the branches, as shown in
Figure 4.
These two branches a may also be united by a full part d coming in contact with
the lips, and in which terminate the orifices of the passages b, as shown in
Figures 5 and 6.
The parts e of these pipe stems is mounted in the stem of the bowl by friction or in
any other appropriate manner.

page_text: It will be understood that the arrangements which I have hereinbefore set forth
may be applied either to straight or bent stems of pipes of any materials and of
any kind.
I may also vary the forms, dimensions and materials employed in the construction
of my apparatus without in any way departing from the principle of my invention.

Improvements in Stems for Tobacco-pipes.
I, GASTON GRANDCLEMENT, of Saint Claude (Jura), in the Republic of France,
Tobacco-pipe Manufacturer, 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 invention which forms the subject of the present application relates to
tobacco-pipe stems characterized by the arrangement of two parallel tubes having the
effect
(1) Of facilitating the holding of the stem of the pipe in the mouth, and of
augmenting the exterior cooling surface;
(2) Of diminishing the salivation and also the degree of intoxication produced
by the smoke from the tobacco, by the admixture of the air which is drawn in at the
same time as the smoke by reason of the interval which separates the two branches,
whose extremities terminate at the lips.
In order that the invention may be properly understood and readily carried into
effect I will proceed to describe the same by reference to the drawing filed with my
Provisional Specification, in which :-
Figure 1 shows an elevation, and
Figure 2 is a plan of a straight stem having two separate branches.
Figure 3 is a horizontal section of the same.
Figure 4 shows the plan of a straight stem having two branches connected by a
transverse piece.
Figure 5 shows the elevation of a bent stem of a pipe.
Figure 6 is the plan of a stem furnished with a slot or opening.
Similar letters of reference designate the same parts in all the figures.
As will be seen in the drawing the stem of the tobacco pipe consists substantially of
two branches a pierced each with a passage 6 the end of which are adapted to be
placed in the smoker's mouth, as shown in Figures 1 to 3.
The two branches a may be connected at any suitable point by a transverse
unpierced piece c, in order to ensure the rigidity of the branches, as shown in
Figure 4.
These two branches a may also be united by a full part d coming in contact with
the lips, and in which are situated the orifices of the passages b, as shown in
Figures 5 and 6.
The parts e of these pipe stems are secured in the stem of the bowl by friction or in
any other appropriate manner.
It will be understood that the arrangements which I have hereinbefore set forth
may be applied either to straight or bent stems of pipes of any materials and of
any
any kind.
I may also vary the forms, dimensions and materials employed in the construction
of my apparatus without in any way departing from the principle of my invention.

page_text: 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 stems constructed substantially as described with reference to
the accompanying drawing and for the purposes specified.
