To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANCIS EVAN Moss, a subject of the King of England, residing at Worthington, near Wigan, in the county of Lancaster, England, have invented new and useful Improvements in Tobacco-Pipes and the like, of which the following is a speciiication.

This invention has reference to tobacco pipes or the like, and has primarily for its object to separate from the smoke in its passage rom the bowl or tobacco part, to the mouth piece, condensed liquid, including nicotin, and dust, so as to preventy such liquid, nicotin, and dust from passing to the mouth of the smoker.

In a pipe, or cigar or cigarette holder, according to this invention, there is disposed between the bowl or part in which the tobacco is held, and the mouth piece, a cage or tubular appliance, say of metal, ebonite, or other suitable substance, having a plurality of inwardly projecting devices forming pockets or recesses or directing appliances or devices, and inclined from the wall of the appliance toward the direction from which the smoke is coming; and apertures are provided in the walls behind these inclined parts, they being advantageously provided by stamping or cutting out and pressing inward, parts of the metal of the tube, to form the inwardly projecting baiiies or catching devices, of which there are la plurality or multiplicity in series, one beyond the other. For instance the inwardly projecting parts may be provided by cutting tongue shaped devices in the tube, and bending the tongues inward, or by indenting same at the sides so as to form pockets.

The tubular appliance would be preferably fixed in the inner end of the removable mouth piece of the pipe or holder, which fits in the stem of same; and its inner end fits into a socket or recess near the bowl or part of the pipe or holder in which the tobacco is placed, so that all the smoke has to pass on its way from the bowl or holder to the mout-h piece into and through the devices. collecting device, and the interior of the stem, an annular space is provided for the liquid and dust to pass.

The drawing hereto annexed, of which Figure 1 is a longitudinal section; Fig. 2 is a cross section, taken through the stem.

Referring tothe drawings, a represents c Around this tubular intercepting or "the" bowl, o the stem, and c the mouthpiece,

which in the case shown, makes joint with the stem by pushing it in the outer end of same. d is the tubular appliance, say of ebonite, metal, or other suitable substance, the outer end of which tits in a socket in the bowl end of the stem Z), and around which the annular space c exists.

The apertures of the appliance Z are marked j', and the inwardly projecting devices opposite these apertures f, are marked it, their inclinations being directed toward the direction in which the smoke is coming.

The device l is supported by the mouth piece c, in which its outer end is fixed or iitted.

The inclined inwardly projecting parts It may be formed by cutting the tube al along three lines, and pressing back the cut parts into the position shown.

The tubular device d will be withdrawn when the mouth piece c is withdrawn or removed, and the deposited matters can be removed irom it, and the interior of the stem and these parts can be cleaned.

The bore z' of the mouth piece c leads at its inner end, from a point near the upper side of the tube CZ, so that any liquid or moist matters which are caught by and collected in the tubular devices d, will not reach this bore 7S, and pass to the mouth of the smoker.

What is claimed is l, In a device of the character described comprising a stein having an opening therethrough which is reduced at one end, a mouth piece having an opening therethrough and fitted in the outer end of the opening in the stem, a cage supported in the end of the mouth piece and the reduced end of the opening in the stem, forming a space between the cage and the wall of the opening, the cage having openings which form communication between the interior of the cage and the space between the cage and the wall of the stem, and baffles projecting in the openings in the cage.
