TOBACCO-PIPE AND HOLDER FOR CIGARS OR CIGARETTES.

Specification or" Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 8, 1918.

Application filed February 1 1,:918. Serial No. 217,133.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FERins A. Lirscoiin, a citizen of the United States, residing at New Philadelphia, in the county of Tuscar'awas and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful TObRCQO-PlDG and Holder tor- Cigars or Cigarettes, 01 which the following is e specification.

This invention relates to tobacco pipes and 1d holders for cigars or cigarettes, and the present application is a continuation in part of application tiled by me on December 12, 1916, Serial No. 136,554, for a patent on tobacco smoking pipes.

a tobacco pipe having means for permitting .a current of fresh air, taken from the atmosphere, to be int-roi'luced into the smoke pasat a point adjacent to the bowl of the pin and. to be thoroughly mixed with the sine to cooi the same during its progress back teward the mouth of the smoker, when suction is applied to the pipe bit or mouth. piece.

Another object is to provide a pipe with means for accomplishing the above purpose which are entirely hidden from view, thus obviating the necessity for altering or otherthe appearance of the pipe which the improvements are applied.

it aher object is to these in manner \JJ avoid clogillOlie passageway and by means .nnuni nun'i er of parts, which may aeily reinovcrfl from the stem oi" the or the purpose of cleansing the same, i wiove the accumulations of nicotin, pan icles of tobacco, etc.

full and complete understaiuling of the ini ention may be obtained from a consideration of the following detailed description, taken in connection with the accon'ipan ving drawings forming a part of this specilicaon; it being understood that while the "drawings show practical forms of the inven tion, the latter is not confined to strict conformity therewith, but may be changed 01' modified, so long as such changes or modifications rnarlr no material departure from the salient features of the invention, as specifically pointed out inthe claims appended hetetc.

In the (i? like reference charact parts in al sectional View v The object of the invention is to provide of a well known form of tobacco pipe, having the improvements applied thereto, the latter being shown in elevation;

Fig. 8 is a longiludinal sectional view of the same, showing the parts assembled. ali'd ready for use;

Fig. 9 is a view partly in section of a cigar or cigarette holder having the improvements applied thereto.

Referring to the drawings, and more particularly to Figs. 1 to 5 inclusive, there is shown a pipe bowl 1. having an integral projecting stein which may be of any well known term. The stem 2 is provided with a relatiwly large inwardly tapered bore 3 extending "from its outer end inwardly to a point adjacent to the bowl 1, with which it communicates by a somewhat reduced passageway L-and the outer end of the stem 2 is provided with the 'usual ferrule 5 for the purpose of strcngtheningthe same.

in the term of the invention under consideration, the bit or mouth piece (3. which may be made of any desirable material and shaped in accordance with the well known forms, is provided with an integral core or extension 7, which is tapered to correspond with the tapered bore 3, although of consid erably diameter than the latter. The i11- ncr, smaller end of the tapered core or extension 7 is adptcd to lie adjacent to the reduced passageway i. when the bit 6 fully introduced into the stem 2 of the pipe, as clearly shown in Fig; 1 of the drawings.

At the pointoi? juncture between the core "7 and the bit 6, the latt-er is reduced in diameter, as indicated at 8, to provide a shoulder 9 wh ch abuts against the outer, inturned end of the ferrule 5, thus .zning a tight joint at this point, to preventthe leakage of smoke when the pipe is in use.

The bit 6 is provided with a short longitudinal groove 1.!) extending across the reduced portion 8 and also into the inner end of the bit 6, at a point beyond the inturned end of the ferrule 55, for a purposeto be de.

scribed. The bit 6 is rovidcd with the usual smoke passage 11, w iich, however, does not traverse throughout the entire length of the core or extension 7, but conimunicates at a(point near the reduced portion 8 with a re ially extending smoke inlet 12.

A spirally arranged tube or conduit 13 is adapted to surround the tapered core orextension 7 and to snugly fit the same in order to prevent leakage between the several spaces formed by the coils of said spiral tube. The outer tapered surface of the s'pi; ral tube or conduit13 snugly the tapered bore 3 of the pipe stem 2. and likewise prevents the leakage of smoke at its outer periphery. I

The outer, larger end of the spirally arranged. tube 13 is provided with a Short lon' gitudinally disposed extension 14 having an outt-urned, radially disposed terminal 15. the extension l-l and terminal 15 being adapted to be seated in the aforesaid groove 10, and to lie flush with the reduced portion 8 and the outer surface of th bit 6 respectively so that the said terminal 15 will be located contiguous to but beyond the outer end of the ferrule 5, for the purpose of ad mitting air into the spirally arranged tube The inner open end 16 of the said tube is located adjacent to the inner end of the tapered core or extension 7 and is preferably elevated above the bottom of the tapered bore 3, as shown in Fig. 1, so that nicotin or particles of tobacco may not enter into the tube. The smoke inlet 12 is located between the coils of the tube 13 and near the outer end thereof,so that it will be seen that when the pipe is in use, a suction will be created in the passageway' 11,. toward the I mouth of the smoker. thus causing an out- I ward draft between the coils of the tube 13, 50 as indicated by the arrows ;in Fig. 1 to draw upon the burning tobacco within the bowl 1.

' and causing the smoke to follow the course indicated by said arrows. At the same time,

a similar act-ion is brought to bear through the open end 16 of the tube 13 causing an inflow of. fresh air from the atmosphere.

through the entrance and in an opposite direction through the coils of the tube to I said outlet 1.6, where the air is caused to mix 60 withthe smoke and to cool the same. The combined smoke and air is further cooled by being caused to travel back between the coils of the air tube 13, which are constantly being affected by the inflowing airthere 05 through.

a pair of integral spirally #9 spaced apart sufficiently The form of the cleigice disclosed in Figs. 7, 8 and 9 is deemed the preferred form thereof, and dilfcrs structurally from the device as hercinbefore described, although the function iseprccisely the same.

In this form, the bit 6 may be detachable from the core or extension 7. as illustrated, and held together by a threaded connection 17 in a well known manner. The bit 6 is provided with an axial bore or passageway 18 which communicates through the connection 17 with the smoke inlet 19 formed in the core or extension 7 similar to the first described form'of the invention.

The core or extension 7 is provided with arranged flanges to provide a continuous spiral air conduit 21, the outer peripheral edges of said flanges being tapered to conform to the bore 3, thus preventing any leakage of smoke along its outerperipln cry. Between the convolutions of the spiral flanges :20 a continuous smoke passageway 22 is formed in a manner similar to the previously described form,-and it will be readily seen that the action of the device is precisely the same.

The air passageway 21 communicates atits outer end with the air intake port 23, which is formed by providing a relatively shallow groove in the enlarged end of the core or extension 7, to extend slightly beyond the ferrule 2t, in order to commu nicate with the atmosphere.

The improved device is capable of being 1.00 readily applied toa cigar or cigarette holder, as illustrated in Fig. 9 of the drawings, 4 wherein the. construction and operation is precisely the saint! as last described. It will be noted thatthe'holder formed or" a bit or mouth piece 6. a stem 2 having a tapered bore 3, and a bowl 1.

It will alsofbe'noted that in the form shown in Figs. 1 to 5 inclusive,.the diameter of the air pi )e 13 is less than the space between the collsof the pipe. withthe' result that the airp sughas a less area than the smoke passage. The same plan is carried out in the construction shown i Figs. 7 to 9, inclusive. in which the spira 1y arranged flanges 20 are disposed in pairs, the space between each individual memfiir of the pair of flanges is less than the split Between the pairs themselves. with the rsul'tthirtthe air -passage is of less area thanf'hcismoke passage. By this arrangement, thedraft through the mouth piece not impeded. and yet the smoke does not travel fast that it is not sutlicicntlv cool bv the time is "reaches the mouth of the smoker.

From the foregoing, it will beseen that means have been provided for cooling the smoke as it issues fromv a tobacco pipe into the mouth of the smoker, which may readily be applied to almost any well known form moon"??- 7 7- of pipe or cigar Gk cigarette hoider, and wh ch is capableoemg produced by the use of a single additional member which is entiroiy conceale Within the stem of the p pe I v, o

With the useof the present smoke cooling device, tobsoco smoking is rendered less in jurious to the smoker, inasmuch as there is fresh current of air isdened with oxygen, mixecl directly with the smoke, which contoius Very ittle oxygen and a large quantity of carbon dioxicl; therefore, diluting the corboudioxid gas and eliminating, to a large extent, the injurious effects of hot smoke upon the tongue sud mouth of the smoker. In aclolition, it prevents the absorption of much nicotin for the reason that heat is a great stimulator of absorption, and the ab normal flow of saliva usual with the use of osclizmry pipes is partially prevented, thus allowing system to be benefited by these i.
