'purpose of cooling the smoke, adding moisture to it, and last and most important of all extracts from ,thesmoke substantially all of the nicotine, which tobacco possesses to a large degree. V,

However, the usual typesl of Turkish pipes are much too large and cumbersome to be carried around, even in' those countries, while herein our, western civilization'such smoking articles to be feasible for commercial use must be'of such size and construction; as to permit them to becarried in the pockets of I ones clothes, and also must provide for a suitable quantity of water to serve the abovementioned functions in a container which can bereadily emptied, cleaned and refilled without trouble, and without 'attracting undue attention. i

Another object more specifically is to provide a smokers pipe comprising the usual bowl and channelled stem, but with a depending, removable, watercontainer, means for supporting said container in operative position, and a structure interposed between the lower inner portion of the bowl and the forward end of'the stem whereby an indirect f channel is formed, to insure the smoke-containing draft passing from the bowl, intothe I water within the container,and after being trapped above the surface of the water being channel. i c

A further object is to provide a construction by means of which these improvements are adapted to a-cigar or cigarette holder in which an intermediate portion of the stem channel is stopped by a transversely extending partition, through which a channel is deflected downwardly beneath thesurface of the water in a container suspended therebeneath, a second channel leading from Within intake end of the stem said container above the surface of the water and thence toward the outlet or lip-engaging end of said stem. 'f

In addition to the foregoing "general objects, there is provided a specially designed structure for satisfactorily mounting the apparatus in unitary relation with a pipe, cigar or cigarette holder, whereby low cost of production is possible, efiiciency in operation is insured, and easy cleansing vof the several parts is readily accomplished.

l/Vith these and other ob ects in mind, the

invention comprises further details of construction and operation fully described in the following specification when read inconjunction with the accompanying drawings, in

which Fig.1 is a side, elevation of one embodiment of the inventionas applied to a smokers pipe; Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section of the same; Fig. 3 is a section of the pipe takenin the direction indicated by line 3-3 of Fig. 2; Fig. 4: is a fragmentary sectional view of afmodifiedform-ofthe de- "vice; Fig. 5 is a vertical longitudinal section of the invention as embodied in acigar or tion of a fragmentary portion of the same 0 the line 66 of Fig. 5. 1 c c v:

Referring to Figs. 1 to 3, inclusive, a smokers pipe is shown as comprising the usual bowl 1, suitably hollowed to provide a tobacco-receivingcontainer 2, and provided with any desired shape of stem 3, terminated in a mouth-engaging end portion 4, and having a longitudinally extending channel 5,

"cigarette holder; and Fig. 6 is a vertical secwhich at the boWl endis restricted to a relatively narrow inlet opening 6.

Instead of the bottom wall of the pipe bowl being imperforate, it is provided with a bore 7,in which is removably positioned an internally threaded cylinder 8, having a transversely extending partitiom r 9, through which latter extends the fixedlysecured upper end portion of a tube 10. The cylinder 8 is provided with a radially extending peripheral flange 11, normally bearing against the upper surface of a shoulder 12 in the bore 7. Said cylinder is also provided with an upwardly extending externally threaded cylindrical flange 13, to which is secured a preferdepending ejector. rodlS extending freely through and slightly beyond the lower extremity of the tube 10. p

WVithin the lower portion of the cylinder 8 there is removably secured a cylindrical mem.-. ber 17 provided with a bore 18 through which the tube 10 extends in spaced'relation,

said last-namedmember merging into amuchv larger inverted cup-shaped or bell member 19, which is normally fixed in operative. position with respect to the pipe by means of a pin 20, which connects them to prevent relative rotative movement. 7 I The lowermost portion of the .bell member 19 is reduced at2 1 and'externally threaded so as to receivein removable engagement,

the upper edge portion of a reservoir mem v ber 22, adapted to normally contain water 23, and provided at the upper portion of. its periphery with a knurled-radially extendingv circumferential beading 24. This reservoir is normally supported as shown in the drawings, and in this position, it will be noted, the lower-end ofthe tube 10 extends well-beneath the uppersurfaceof the water, while tobacco (not: shown) normally fills the bowl above the upper surface .of. the 'disc17.

In order toremove this. disc and thereby cleanse the interior of: the tube 10, the reservoir member is removed from the bell member 19 and the lower-protruding end of the ejector rod 18 pressed upwardly, thereby releasing the disc from engagement with the provided with anaxiallyextending-channel 3.3, leading from said bowl by way of a re.

undercut flange. Upon. inverting the pipe the disc and rod will drop out and permit the ready, cleansing of the tube 10 with a pipe-cleaner or the like. On the other hand,

when the several, parts are in the relative positionsshown in said drawings, the smoker upondrawing air inwardly through thes'tem channel 5 causes smoke from the tobacco in the bowl to pass. through theflpertures 18. into the disc 17, and thence through the tube lO'beneath the water inthe reservoir, whence it bubbles upwardly and is trapped within the bell member 19, and is thence free to passthrough the bore 18 and through an aperture 25 in the cylinder8, and through thenarrow inlet. opening 6towardsthe discharge end 4 of the stem byway ofthe channelt5.

Referring now to Fig. 4, there is shown a pipe comprising a cylindrical head 30, providing a tobacco-receiving bowl31 and hav ing a' laterally extending integralstem 32,

duced bore 34. The lower portion of said bowl merges into a downwardly tapering bore 35. Within said bore is a cylindrical member 37 having an enlarged downwardly opening space 38, terminating upwardly in a transversely extending partition 39, through which extends and is fixed the upper end portion ofatube-4Q. The upper portionof the member 37 terminates in an externally threaded y indr ca flengsl, norm y Carrying a movable cap 42, having an enlarged aperture surrounded by an undercut flange 43, into which snugly fits a disc 43, having apertures 44 and depending ejector rod 45, the

latter extending freely thru and beyond the lower end of the tubeAQand being adapted to bepressed upwardly to force said disc from the undercutflange 43, thereby opening the aperture in. the cap 42 andfmaking it possible to cleanse thetubeAO.

Thelower orunder; portion of the head 30 is hollowed outat 46 and normally receives a, fixed liner member 4Z, the; IO-WBB endflof which ext f eely ey d the. su round ng portions of the pipe and is.externally.threaded to detachably receivethe upperopen end' Portion of a r erm r1 mnnal y C ta ning water 49, and providedwith agpreferably knurled beading 50, which facilitates. the manual engagement of-said reservoir fon the P rpos of d ac ng he-sam rom ep p n the her an the serv i 48 mm be e red di c ly t he er o nd r porion fth bowl y. b ing n hn ad di ne en the ew th, ins ea o gh th medium of the liner47, 'Inany event, theoperation of thisformof-the device isthesame. as that hereinbefore de scr ibed,the.smoke from tobacco withinthe bowl passing; through the apertures 44 in the.cap-. 42 and thence through the tube 40, after which it bubblbS upwardly through the water 49 and is led throughan aperture 51 inthe wallof the tapering member 37, and thence through the channels- 34 and; 33 to the mouth engaging end, of, the st 2..

Extending into the opposite side ofthe plug 65 is a second aperture 7 0 which communicates with a tube 71, which in turn extends freely through said bell member in spaced relation with the lateral walls of the latter, and beneath the surface of water 72 normally contained within said removable reservoir. A pin 73 extends radially from said plug and slidably engages within a recess 7 4L forming a lateral extension of the aperture 62 in the stem, for the purpose of preventing relative rotation of the bell member with respect to said stem. Furthermore, the uppermost portion of said plug is provided with an internally threaded aperture 75, which normally receives the threaded stem 7 6 of a retaining means, having a head 77, provided with recesses 78 for engagement with a spanner wrench or the like, the function of said last-named means being to retain the plug 65 and parts connected therewith in operative position as illustrated. The operation of this embodiment of the invention is likewise similar to that hereinbefore described with respect to Figs. 1 to 3, inclusive, but specifically provides for a smoker to draw through the stem 60, thereby causing smoke from a cigar or cigarette within the recess 64 to pass through the bore 63, the tube 71, beneath the surface of the water 72, and into the bell member 68, whence it is led by way of the bore 67 and cooperating bore 61 upward and through the mouthengaging end of the stem.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to protect by Letters Patent of the United States is 1. A smokers pipe, comprising a bowl opening through its bottom wall by means of a bore defined by circumferential shoulders at its opposite ends, a bell-shaped member positioned against the lower shoulder and having a neck extending upwardly into said bore, a cylindrical member within said bore and provided with a transversely extending partition having an aperture, said member and said neck being normally secured together detachably, a second cylindrical member having an enlarged end portion positioned against the upper of said shoulders and having a reduced portion extending into said bore and normally detachably secured to said first cylindrical member, a tube extending throughthe aperture in said partition to a point below the lower extremity of said bell-shaped member, a transversely extending apertured disc within said bowl removably supported by said enlarged end portion, and a rod carried by said disc and extending loosely through and to a point slightly below the lower extremity of said tu e.
