TOBACCO PlPE.

SFEC'IFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 331,569, dated December 1, 1885.

Application filed June 30, 1884.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, AUGUST TAIPE and CHARLES TAPPE, of Bloomington, in the county of McLean and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Tobacco-Pipes and CigarHolders, of which the following a full, clear, and exact descrip tion.

This invention relates to the novel construction and peculiar arrangement of the several parts composing a pipe for smoking tobacco and other substances, so as to impede the passage of the smoke through it, to collect and hold the nicotine, and to cool, purify, and render the smoke more agreeable and less injurious.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.

Figure 1 represents a central longitudinal section of a tobacco-pipe having our improvements applied thereto; Fig. 2, a crosssection through line 00 a: of Fig. 1.

Fig. lin the accompanying drawings represents a central longitudinal section of a pipe, consisting of a stem of the usual curved form, a cap, B, body A, intermediate lower section, D, and bowl E. V

Vithin the body A are arranged the several devices through which the smoke from the bowl is to pass to be purified of the nicotine and cooled before reaching the mouth. To the lower end of this body A, and between it and the bowl E,'is placed an intermediate detachable section, D, secured to the lower end of the central section, A, by a screw-thread,b, and attached to the bowl E by a tapered neck and screw-thread, d, which neck terminates at a small draft-recess, 6, into which the smoke from the bowl first passes. The cap B closes the upper end of the central section,A, and to which a stem or mouth-piece of the usual curved form is secured by means of a screw-thread thereon in the usual manner. This mouthpiece extends through the cap B and projects downward centrally a short distance into the upper end of the body A. Secured centrally to this intermediate lower section, D, is a small tube, F, which extends upward and Serial No. 136,415. (No model.)

terminates within ashort distance of the upper closed end of a larger return-tube, H, leaving an enlarged recess therein, as represented 'in Fig. 1. To this central tube,F,are fitted two diaphragms, G G, having perforations 9, through which the smoke is to pass from the tube F. Between these perforated diaphragins G G,and to the interior surface of the return tube H, is fitted a spiral, I, to retard the smoke through and around it in its course between the diaphragms G G. The return-tube H, with its spiral I, is supported by means of the diaphragms G G centrally and about midway within the body A. By placing this returntube H midway in the body A the spaces or recesses between the upper and lower ends thereof are formed as shown in Fig. 1, and this return-tube H being somewhatsmaller in diameter than the interior diameter of the body A, a narrow annular passage-way, h, is formed between them to connect the upper and lower spaces or recesses, as represented. By thus constructing a pipe for smoking tobacco in sections economy of material and facility of assembling the several parts are attained. The several pieces composing this pipe having been properly fitted,thcy are assembled as follows: The return-tube H is first mounted upon the smaller tube F, and supported thereon by the diaphragms G G. The tube F is then screwed into the lower section, D, and section D screwed into the bowl E. The body A is then placed over the return tube H and screwed to section D at Z. The cap l3 is secured to the upper end of the body A, and the stem or mouth-piece screwed to the cap B, thus con1- pleting the pipe,as represented in Fig. 1, in a merchantable condition. The course of the smoke through the various channels in this pipe may be described as follows: From the bowl E the smoke enters,first,the draft-recess c,- thence upward through the small tube F; thence drawn downward through the perforationsgin the upper diaphragm, G; thence over and through the spiral I, and through the lower diaphragm, G, entering and expanding into the space or enlarged recess below the tube H in the intermediate section, D; thence upward in a thin annular column between the tube H and interior surface of the body A, to

enter and again expand in the upper space or recess in the body A above the tube H, and thence through the stem into the month. By the time the smoke shall have traversed these various channels from the bowl E to the stem or mouthpiece it is materially cooled, and the nicotine will precipitate and become a deposit in the lower space or recess in section D,from which it can be readily removed at pleasure.

Having thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- As an improved article of manufacture, a

pipe for smoking tobacco and other substances, constructed and arranged substantially as described, consisting of a bowl, E, and stem or mouthpiece, body A, intermediate detachable section, D, tube F, and return-tube H, having a spiral, I, therein inclosed between two perforated diaphragms, as set forth.
