Be it known that I, Vio'ron Komaan, a citizen of the Republic of Switzerland, residing at Zurich, Switzerland,` have"iiiyentedfcer'- ta., A"new and useful improvements `in Tobacco Pipes, of `which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the' accompanying drawing.

oit nicotine has reached a certain degree the smoke passing this iiuencedby it.,l

rllhe tobacco pipe according to the present invention shows the characterizing feature that1 the battles or discs provided with aperprecipitation is 4badly intures through which the smoke passes are spaced at such a distance troni each other that uponimmersinglthe inserted piece in a liquid `the latter adheres in the recesses` hetween the battles owing to capillary action.

In this manner the possibility is provided 'ot' causing the'sm'ole to passlover liquid sur: i'iaces in many cells, whereby the cooling and the purii'liing action 'on' the' smoke is increased and the inserted partitselit' is cooled.

Several constructional examples ot a tobaccopipe according tothe present invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which: l i

Fig. l .shows in a longitudinal section` a first `constructional example,` H

Fig. 2 is a cross-section along line -I of' Fic'. l,

Figs. 3 and 4 show the inserted part in two views taken at right angles to each other,

Fig. 5 shows in a longitudinal section a second constructional example,

Fig. 6 is a cross-section along" line Ill-II of Fig. 5,

Fig. 7 shows a top view of Fig. 5, 'a bush inserted in the bowl being removed,

Fig. 8 is a plan view of the bush,

f Fig.` 9 showsthe inserted piece iXedto the inoil'ithpiefce and 'withdrawn from i the` stem, anc

VFig. 1 0 illustrates a detail variation.

Referring-now tothe drawings throughout the various constructionat eXa-mplesl,` denotes a rod, e`.`j the core lotfthfe partin-l serted inthe. stein, and 2 designates a num,-` ber of `discs or baffles spaced from each other at. a uniformdistance."V 'l V In the first cons tructionalV example` illustratedV in Figs.1 l- 4ftheV members 3 and 4 arrangedat two ends ofthe'rod l `havefa greater width than-the baliles 2, and the ldistanciasA between the members 3 and'4 and the adjacent battle 2 respectively are larger than the distance between every two baffles 2.1 The baiiles 2 are shaped as circular discs, As will be seen in Figs. l and 2 the inserted part is pushedinto afjtube ,5 lining the bore ofthe stem, the, inside diameter of thetube 5 corresponds to the diameter of the discs 2 so that thela'tter form a close lit in the tubeV 5 which is ,elosediby a wall 5"* at the end pointing` towards the bowl. A bush 6 having a bottom is screwed intothe bowl and is provided Withacentral bore Vin its bottom, v the space inside the bush '6 serving to takeV upthe tobaccolis in communication with theV foremost chamber forinedibetween the mem-4 ber 3 and the adj acent disc 2 by, an aperture 5 proyidedin lthe tube 5. vThe discs 2 and the member 7;'are provided at their periphery with two sinall slots "7' and the inserted part is so turned 'relatively to the stem that slots are at the top. The corresponding slots 7 inthe vdiscs 2 are inalignment so that two channels are formed by all the slots 7 extending parallel to the rod l. By means o't'` these Vchannels the chambers formed* by every two discs 2 inside the tube 5 intercomniunicate. The chamber' remote of `the bowl is connected by, means ofthe slots 'Z in the member 4 with the bore of the mouth-piece. 3 Previous to using thepipe the mouthpiece is removed `and the inserted part' is withdrawn from the stem of the pipe by gripping the member 4 and is then immersed in a liquid. When the inserted part is withdrawn from the liquid some of the liquid adheres to the discs owing to capillary action and fills out to some extent the recesses between adjacent discs, as is indicated in Figs. 3 and 4, the liquid collecting in the lower half of the recesses so thatupon insertion of the part into the stem a plurality of chambers partly filled with liquid `and subdivided by the discs 2 are formed. Water may be used as liquid for immersing the inserted part in.

The inserted part as well as the bushes 5 Y and 6 are preferably made of aluminium, which besides having a small Weight presents the advantage of being not attacked by the tobacco'juice and of being easily cleaned.

The smoke leaving the bowl by the aperture 5 enters below the bush 6 into the yforemost chamber and flows through the The second constructional examplev differs from that descril'ied above inasmuch as sev eral of the discs on the insertedpart are` situated immediately below the bowl `of the pipe. A bush 6 is again inserted in the bowl, in which bush the tobacco is filled.- rIlhe bush 6 has a bottom provided with radial slots 6 through which the smoke passes.

The inserted part is connected by ymeans ofan extended end member et with the mouthpiece ofthe pipe and it can be withdrawn by withdrawing the mouthpiece. The handling' of the inserted part for cleaning the latter and the renewal of the liquid is facilitated thereby. `The end disc 3 has the shape of a curved head. The discs are provided with three slots 7 and the respective slots of all the discs are in alignment.

The cooling and the purifying of the smoke occurs in the same manner as described above. 'Y

In the constructional example illustrated in Fig. l0 the tube 5 forms the stem of the pipe and is fixed to a cylindrical metal cup 8. The bowl 9 is held by the cup 8 and the inserted part consisting of the `core l provided with the discs 2 does not project into the interior of the cup 8.

I claim:

1. A tobacco pipe having a stem provided with a bore7 and a part inserted in said discs.

stemV and consisting of a rod and discs on said rod, spaced at such a distance from each other that upon the inserted part being immersed in a liquid the'latter will adhere to said discs by capillary action and will span the intermediate spaces between adjacent 2. A tobacco pipe having a stem provided with a bore, and a part inserted in said stem y and consisting of a rod and discs on said rod spaced at such a distance from each other that upon the inserted part being immersed in a liquid the latter will adhere to said discs by capillary action and will span the intermediate spaces between adjacent discs, said discs being provided with slots, the respective slots in the discs being arranged in alignment.

3. A tobacco pipe having a mouth-piece, a stem provided with a bore, and a part eX- tendingbeneathV the bowl of the pipe connected to said mouthpiece and fitting into the bore of said stem and consisting of a vrod and discs on said rod spaced at such a distance from each other that upon the inserted part being immersed in a liquid the latter will adhere to said discs by capillary action and will span the intermediate spaces between adjacent discs. f

4. A tobacco pipe having a mouth-piece, a bowl, a stem provided with a bore7 and a part inserted in said stem and consisting of a rod and ldiscs on said rod spaced at such a distance from eachother that upon the inserted part being immersed in a liquid the latter will adhere to said discs by capillary action and will span the intermediater spaces between adjacent discs, said discs being provided with slots and the respective slots inv thek discs being arranged in alignment one end of said rod terminating in a longitudinally slotted cylinder and the other end of the rod terminating in a member thicker than a disc. f

5. In a tobacco pipe7 a stem having a. bore and a part inserted in said bore comprising a central member and spaced discs on said member7 the spaces between said discs forming capillary chambers for liquid, and said discs having radial slots disposed substantially horizontally. L

In testimony whereof I aiiX my signature.
