Application filed March 27, 1918.

To all whom it may concern,

Be it known'that .l. Jonx iii. Bownx. a citizen of the United States. residing at 'lroy, in the county of hensselaer and State of New York haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Smoking-Pipes. of which the following is a sliecilication.

This invention has relation to smoking pipes. and has for an object to provide a pipe designed to prevent the accumulation of n'ioisture in the smoke channel thereby insuring the continuous operation of the pipe without the possibility of it becoming clogged up by accui'uulations.

Another object of the invention is to provide a smoking pipe of the character above described. and col'isti'ucted in a manner-"to A still furtner object of the invention is to provide a smoking pipe having a pocket formed in the stem for communication with the smoke channel to collect moisture therein. and means whereby the moisture may be readily removed from the pocket and the pipe. thoroughly ventilated when not. in use. ln addition to the foregoing my invention compreiends improvements in the details of construction and arrangement of the correlative parts to be hereinafter more fully described and particularly set forth in the appended claim.

in the. accompanying drawings in which similar and corresponding parts are designated liv the same characters of reference throughout. the several views in which they appear I Figure 1. is a view in longitudinal section of a snuikiug pipe constrimted in accordance with my invention, and

Fig. 2. is a transverse section thereof ta ken on the line 2-2 ot' the precedi figure.

ll ith reference to the drawings, l0 indicates the bowl of a pipe and it the stem. A smoke channel 12 extends through the stem for communication at one end'with the interior of the bowl and forconnection at its opposite endv with the. reduced nipple 13 ot the mouthpiece l t. The smoke channel 12 may be formed to extend through the stem along a line descending slightly from the nipple 1,3 winch enters the stem at a point above the central axis ot' the same. pocket. 15 is formed in the stem at the front end of Specification of Letters Pateiit. Pggter gg fi Serial No. 225,609.

the smoke. channel and in communication therewith, and running parallel to the bottom of the stem is a second channel l6 terminatinpat one end Within the stem and in communication at its other end with the pocket 15. The upper portion of the pocket communicates with the bowl through a duct 20 which is practically in alinenient with the main channel 12. An opening 17 is also formed in the under side of the stem in communication with the channel 16, and mounted in said channel 16 isa plug 18 of rubber or other suitable material adapted to he moved along the channel. in o e position to overlap the opening 17, and in another po sition to uncover said opening. The under side of the plug 18 may be serrated as at 19 to permit the plug to be readil shifted.

It will be obvious. that in use, the moisture in the smoke as the smoke passes through the channel 12 will be condensed on the walls of the channel. It will he noted that the smoke channel is inclined from a pointadiacent its point of connection with the mouthpiece it downwardly toward the pocket 15. In this manner, the moisture condensed on the walls of the smoke channel will flow into the pocket 15 and accumulate therein. To clean the pipe it is but necessary to shift the plug '18 so as to dispose the same within the. rear end of the channel 16 thereby uncovering the opening 1'4" whereupon the moisture may flow from the pocket and the pocket can he swahbed out by means of any suitable. instrument. it will he seen that inasmuch as the pocket 15 is su'llicieutiy large in capacity to permit the accumulation ot a considerable amount. of moistu e; the e eient operation of the pipe will he continued for some time. The accumulation at moisture within the pocket, will not interfere with the free passag, 0t smoke through the channel and bowl. When the pipe not, in use. the plug 18 may be shifted to uncover the. opening 17 whereby the Whole interior or the pipe as well as the, channel may be thoroughly ventilatta'l therehy preventing the pipe from accumulating an ohnoxious odor. in this manner. the pipe will he thoroughly dried also.

Ji l rile have illustrated and described In invention with some degree of particularity,

I realize that in practice various alterations thereover may he made, and I therefore desire to reserve, right and privilege ot' changing the form of the details of construcneee eie tion and arrangement of the correlative parts Without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the appended claim.

Having thus described my invention What I claim asnew and'clesire to secure by Letters Patent is A pipe comprising a, bowl, stem, and :nout' piece, the mouth piece having a nipple at its inner end; the stern having an upper ohannel open at one end to receive the nipple and inclining downwardly forwardly, a pocket at the forward end of the channel, and a lower channel leading from the pocket rearumrclly and closed at its rear end but opening through the bottom of the stem; and the bowl having :1 duct communicating with the upper portion of said pocket; co1nhinecl with a plug slidably mounted in said second channel across the opening and adapted to be reached through the latter whereby the plug may he moved to the rear to uncover the opening and dump the contents of the pocket. H

In testimony whereof I nfilx my signzitnre in presence of two Witnesses.
