TOBACCO-PIPE.

S- :ciiication of Letters Patent.

Patented A119. 1 8, 19114..

Application filed January 21, 1913. Serial No. 743,374.

Be it known that i, Finns l Smenir, ot the city otf Toronto. in the Province of ()ntario, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in 'ilobacco-lipes, of which the ttl'illowing is a specification.

lily object in the construction of this pipe is to insure to the smoker a. cool dry smoke without increasing the cost of the pipe and without spoiling; its appearance.

1 attain my object by forming in the stem of the pipe two chambers separated by an apertured diaphragm. The chambers communicate respectively with the bore oi the pipe and its mouthpiece at points distant from the walls of the chambers, so that each chamber may contain a consideablc quantity oi. liquid which cannot [low back either through the mouthpiece or through the bowl. The outer walls of the chamber are preferably formed by a metal t'crrulo which s a good conductm of heat and thus serves to cool the smoke.

The pipe is constructed in detail substantially as hereinafter more fully described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1 is a longitudinal section at my improved pipe. Fig. 2 is an enlarged section of the diaphragm. Fig. 3 is a :front elevation of the same. Fig. t is an enlarged section oi a modified torm oil diaphragm. Fig. i) is front elevation of the same and Fig. (3 a longitudinal section of the ferrule.

in the drawings like numerals ot' retorence indicate corresponding parts in the dit- -t'ercnt figures ot the drawings.

My invention is equally applicable to pipes or cigar and ci'rarette holders and it "will be understood therefore that the exprl-ission pipe is to be taken to mean any device tor the smoking ol tohzu-co in any term.

In the drawings 1 is the stem of the pipe. The end. of this stem is reduced in diai'z'iotcr as shown to term the short tube 2. The adjacent end of the mouthpiece 3 is similarly turned down to form the short tube i. A ferrule, 5 is frictionally fitted on the adjacent ends of the stem and mouthpiece and is so proportioned that the ends of the tubes 2 and i are separated sufficiently to leave room for a central diaphragm dividing the space Within the ferrule into two chambers (3 and 7. The diaphragm is preferably formed of two disks 8 having flanged edges which give them a bearing against the inner surt'atat oi the ferrule. Cloincident holes are termed in the disks forming an aperture S), preferably located near the upper side of the diaphragm. The aperture being out of line with the bore of the pipe it is impossible for any particles to be drawn straight across the chamber from the pipe stem to the mouthpiece. The chamber 7 collects any saliva which may pass down from the mouth and the chamber (3 any juices or moisture from the tobacco. There is thus no opportunity attorded for moisture from the mouth passing down the pipe and wetting the tobacco which I. find to be one of the most important causes oi? the fouling, ot' the pipe. The smoke also cooled and any particles therein entrapped by the said chambers owing to the circuitous path the smoke is compelled to follow. This etlect is enhanced. by stamping in each disk 8 a project .ing deflector '10 preferably contacting with the tubes 2 and t just above the openings therein. The smoke is thus prevented passion; in straight lines from the openings in the tube to the opening E) or from the latter to the opening in the tube l but is compelled to circulate in the chambers (1 and 7. The ctl'cct may be still further enhanced by spacing the disks 8 to form between them a chamber 11 as shown in Figs. 4 and it has been clearly shown that the pipe will safely entrap any foul juices and solid particles which might be sucked up into the mouth and it will also be seen that the pipe is scarcely, it' any, more expensive to make than an ordinary pipe.

The tubes L. and i being integral wi h the stem and mouthpiece are formed on the lat ter when they are made at no increase of cost. A ferrule is comn'ionly employed on pipes so that the disks forming the dia phragm are the only parts iniolvinjr extra expense and these are very cheaply stamped and placed in position. The chamber 11 may be fitted with gauze to act as a smoke strainer and this gauze may be medicated or perfumed if desired.

It will be seen that the ferrule 5 is easily removed and boiled or otherwise cleaned.

What I claim as my invention is 1. In a pipe the combination of the stem having an end of reduced diameter integral therewith forming a short projecting tube; a mouth-piece having a similar integral end of reduced diameter forming a short tube;

a ferrule connecting the stem and mouth piece so proportioned that the ends of the said short tubes are separated; and an apertured diaphragm dividing the space Within said ferrule into tivo chambers said diaphragm adjacent the aperture therein being stamped to form a deflector projecting into one of the chambers across the direct path of smoke traveling across said chamber to or from an axial passage of the pipe.

In a pipe the combination of the stem having an end of reduced diameter integral therewith forming short projecting tube; a 1nouthpiece having a similar integral end i of reduced diameter forming a short tube; l a ferrule connecting the stem and mouthpiece so proportioned that the ends of the said short tubes are separated; and an apertured diaphragm dividing the space within said ferrule into two chambers, said dia phragm being formed of two disks pressed into place and having an integral deflector formed thereon between the bore of the stem and the aperture in the diaphragm adapted to prevent smoke passing directly from one to the other, substantially as shown and described.

Dated at Toronto this 16th day of Jan. 1913.
