fs claims.

the smoke must pass through a long, circuitous passage, which passage is disposed within a pipe stem of ordinary length.

A further object of the invention is to provide a smokers pipe wherein the smoke passage isprovided with means for collecting moisture from the smoke whereby the, smoke reaching the smokers mouth will be clean and dry.

A further object of the invention is to provide a smokers pipe in which the stem is formed with means for conducting heat from the smoke to the atmosphere whereby only cooled smoke will reach the mouth of the smoker.

A further object of the invention is to provide a smokers pipe having a stem which may be readily assembled and disassembled for cleaning and repair purposes. A further object of the invention is to provide a smokers pipe which is of very simple construction, is distinctive and attractive in appearance, is strong and durable, and is well adapted for the purposes set forth.i

With the above and other objects in view,

. the invention consists of the improved smokers pipe and its parts and combinations as set forth in the claims, and all equivalents thereof.

In the accompanying drawing in which the same referencecharacters indicate the same parts in all of the views:

Fig. 1 is a side view of the improved smokers P1136;

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view thereof .Fig. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 2; and

Fig. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken on line 4 4 of Fig. 2.

Referring now more particularly to the drawing, it will appear that the improved smokers pipe includes a bowl 6 from the lower portion 4-of which extends a stern indicated generally by the numeral '7, said stem being in communication with the interior of the bowl 6.

4The stem 7 includesv a mouth piece 8 which is formed of hard rubber or any other suitable material, and a bore 9 extends longitudinally through said mouth piece. Said bore, at the inner end portion of the mouth piece, is enlarged and intemally threaded, as at 10, to receive the threaded tubular end portion l1 of an elongated smoke conductor 1l'. 'I'he smoke conductor 11 is preferably formed of aluminum or other metal having good heat conducting qualities, and the en- 00 tire member 11, exceptfor the end portion 11', is in the form of a spiral 12. Between each pair of spirals there are angularly spaced-apart partitions 13 radiating from the axial portion of the member 11, and said partitions terminate short of the outer edges of the spiral portions theremay pass, it being necessary for the smoke to pass around the outer edges of said partitions.

The smoke conductor is encased by a metallic sleeve 15 which is threaded into the lower portion of the bowl, as at 16. 'Ihe outer end. portion of said sleeve is adapted to befdetachably engaged with the reduced end portion 17 of the mouth piece 8. Said sleeve is also formed of metal having good heat conducting qualities. 'Ihe sleeve, between the bowl 6 and the mouth piece 8, is surrounded by alternating metallic and

wooden rings

18 and 19 respectively which have a force t with said sleeve.

1n use, tobacco is packed Within the bowl 6 in the usual manner, and when ignited the smoker draws on the mouth piece thereby drawing smoke Ifrom the bowl through a. bore 20 into the smoke conductor. In passing through the smoke con- 8i the spiral conductor the various partitions. 13,

which form pockets, will collect moisture and foreign matter, and by the time thesmoke reaches the outer end of the conductor it is relatively cool and practically all moisture a'nd other undesirable matter has been eliminated therefrom. Also,

as the smoke passes through the conductor, heatwill be conducted by thespirals to the metallic sleeve and from the metallic sleeve to the metallic rings 18 and from thence to the atmosphere. After passing the length of the conductor in a circuitous path, the smoke passes through spacedapart inwardlyv inclined apertures 21 formed in the conductor end portion 11", and thence through the bore 9 of the mouth piece 8 to the smokers mouth.

The improved smokers pipe not only provides for a. long' smoke travel within a stem of ncnnal length, but in addition heat is dissipated by the novel arrangement of contacting metal parts whereby heat is conducted from the smoke to the atmosphere. In conjunction with .the spiral smoke conductor, there is the novel arrangement of partitions forming pockets for the collection of moisture, and insofar as the alternating

metallic bands

18 and 19 are concerned, in addition to the heat conducting function served by the metal bands,4 all of said bands strengthen the stem structure and give to the pipe a novel and attractive appearance. The stem may be easily taken apart and assembled for cleaning and repairs.

-From the foregoing description it will be seen that the improved smokers pipe is of simple and novel construction and is well adapted forthe purposes set forth.

What is claimed as the invention is:

1. In a smokers pipe having a bowl, a tubular stem in communication at its irmer end with said bowl, said stem comprising a tube, a spiral smoke conductor within said tube and formed between some of its convolved portions with spaced partitions of less height than the convolved portions to provide moisture collecting pockets between the partitions and smoke paths around the free edges of the partitions, and a, mouth piece extending from the outer end portion of said tube.

2. In a smokerspipe having a bowl, a tubular stem in communication at its inner end with said bowl, said stem comprising a metallic tube, a spiral, metallic smoke conductor removably positioned within said tube and formed between some of its convolved portions with spaced partitions of less height than the convolved portions to provide moisture collecting pockets between the partitions and smoke paths around the free edges of the partitions, alternating metallic and wooden rings mounted'on said tube, and a mouth piece removably secured to the outer end portion of said spiral conductor and registering with the outer end of the tube.

3. In a smokers pipe having a bowl, a tubular stem in communication at its inner end with said bowl, said stem comprising a tube, a spiral smoke conductor within said tube and formed between some of its convolved portions with spaced partitions, the partitions being formed so as to provide restricted but completely annular smoke paths between the convolutions and to also provide moisture collecting pockets between partitions and convolutions, and a mouth piece extending from the outer end portion of said tube.
