TOBACCO-PIPE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 384,392, dated June 12, 1888.

Application filed March 2, 1888.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Fnnnnnion Ronsmxc, of Cleveland, in the county of Guyahoga and State of Ohio, have invent 'd certain new and useful Improvements in Tobacco Pipes, of which the following-is a full, clear, and exactdescript-ion.

This invention, like that for which Letters Patent of the United States, No. 364:,960, were granted me June 14, 1887, and upon which this is an improvement, relates to that class of pipes which has a chamber to receive the moist ure or oil resulting from the combustion of the tobacco.

The invention will be first described, and then specifically pointed out in the claim.

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

Figures 1 and 2 represent central vertical longitudinal sections of a smokingpipe of the description hereinbefore referred to, with my invention applied, Fig. 1 showing by full lines a cigar-holder applied as a substitute for the bow], which is shown by dotted lines, same figure also showing by dotted lines a cigar as in place in the holder, and Fig. 2 showing by full lines the pipe as fitted with its bowl proper, also showing by dotted lines the cigarholder in position.

Referring more particularly to Fig. 2, A is the bowl proper oi the pipe, provided on its base with a threaded boss, a, through which and the base of the bowl is a passage a. The shank B of the pipe is internally threaded at one end to receive the stem 0, which by the construction of the shank maybe a straight one, as shown-that is, one at right angles with the bowl of thepipe. The smoke'chanr her in the shank is shown at c, and from the upper portion of this chamber is a smoke-flue, b,which connects atits outer end with a chanr her, 3, immediately beneath the boss a, and into which the passage a empties. This chamher is for the purpose ofreceiving any tobacco or ashes which may pass from the bowlby the passage (1, and serves to prevent the stoppage of the smokeilue Z) by such entering matter, said chamber 8 being made sufficiently large and deep for the purpose. The threaded boss Seria No. 265,894. 1N0 model.)

a of the bowl screws into a threaded socket, b, on the shank above this chambers. Beneath this chamber 8 is the reservoir d, opening through the forward end of the shank and closed thereat by a screw-plug, e, and connecting with a passage, Z, which extends from the lower part of the chamber a to the reservoir (Z. Said reservoir d slopes downward in an outer or forward direction in order that moisture, saliva, or nicotine deposited in the chamber 0 will pass through the fluid-passage Z and settle by gravity within the reservoir d.

The base of the stem 0 where it enters the chamberc forms the annularshoulder in around the passagef of the stem,to prevent fluid from passing up the stem from the chamber 0.

Apart from the shape of the shank, which adapts it to a straight stem, the dip or down ward inclinaiiin in a forward direction of the reservoir (2, and providing the shank with the chamber 3, the use of which has been hereinbefore described, the pipe so l'ar does not differ from any previouslypatented pipe, as hereinbcfore referred to. In addition, however, to the changes above noted, the shank B is provided internally with a small airflue, 12;, arranged above the passage Z and connecting the upper or raised end portion of the reservoir d with the chamber 0 above the ordinary level of the deposited fluid in said reservoir and chamber. This flue or provides for the escape of air displaced by the entering fluid within the reservoir, whereby the flow oi the fluid matter into the reservoir is untimpeded by compression of the air, but an equilibrium of pressure is established within the reservoir d and chamber 0.

When any deviation is made from the hori zontal position of the pipe, it causes the fluid in the reservoir (1 to be arrested and to cover the passage Z and air-line a, thereby forming a vacuum in the reservoir, which prevents the fluid from entering either the smoke-chamber G or chamber s, whereby the tobacco is prevented from being moistened or drowned and the stem kept free from nicotinous oil. Furthermore, I combine (see more particularly Fig. 1) with the pipe a cigar-holder, A, adapted to screw into thesocket bof the shank, so that upon removing the bowl A the pipe may be used at pleasure either for smoking tobacco in its loose state or a cigar, D, with like wardly inclined reservoir (2, having an inletto advantage. passage, Z, leading into the bottom of the cham- Having thus described my lnvention, I claim her 0, and an air-passage, n, also leading into as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent-- the smoke-chamber from said reservoir above In a pipe, the shank B, having the longi- 1 the passage Z. tudinallyextending smoke-chamber 0 in line with its stem-opening, the bowl-opening b, a passage, b, leading therefrom into the rear end of said chamber, the downwardly and reari FREDERIOH ROESLING.
