SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 395,486, dated January 1, 1.889.

Application filed March 29, 1888. Serial No, 268,789, (No model.)

T0 all whom, it may cm1/cern.-

Be it known that l, GEORGE F. CraLQUITT, of Purcell, in the county of Pontotos and Indian Territory, have'invented a new and Improved Tobacco-Pipe, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved tobacco-smoking pipe, which prevents the nicotine and other unhealthy substances from entering` the smokers system.

The invention consists of a pipe provided with a storage-chamber having an opening` leading into the bowl and with a valve for closing said opening.

The invention also consists et certa-in parts and details and combinations of the same, as

will be fully described hereinafter and then pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, to `ming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the gures.

Figure l is a rear elevation of the improvement. Fig. 2 is a sectional side elevation ot' the same on the line .fc of- Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the lower part of the barrel, and a is a side elevation of the pipe-stem.

The improved pipe A is provided with a barrel, B, which is for the storage oit the tobacco, and is made of two parts, C and D, fitted one on the other by a ring, E, secured to the lower half, C, of the barrel B. In the upper half of the barrel Ai3 is formed an opening, D', covered on the outside by a door, F, and serving for the introduction ot' the tobacco inte the barrel B. In the lirottom C otl the lower part, C, oi' the barrel B is formed an opening, C2, adapted to be closed b5T a gate, G, passing through the barrel B, and provided on its outer end with an upwardly-extending spring-bar, G', fastened at its upper end to the outside of the said vbarrel C. The gate .G is also provided on its outside with one,

two, or more downwardly-extending iianges, i2, which serve as a c nvenient hold ljor the operator to move said gate inward or outward over the said opening The opening Cv2 connects when the gate G isopened with a combristicii-chamber, H, provided with a perforated bottom, H', and open at the top. The receptacle ll is also provided on its upper and lower ends with outwardlyextending flanges, which lit snugly into the recess I', formed in the extension I, secured to the lower end of the part C et the barrel B. In the extension l are formed a number of apertures, l2, which lead into the recess j or space formed around the rim ot' the coinbustion-receptacie ll, between its top and bottom lian ges, before mentioned, so that air :from the outside can pass into and around the said rim of the receptacle il, thus keeping the latter cool. On the lower end oi' the extension I is hinged a bottom cover, J, provided on its inside with a perforated partition, J which extends to within a short distance of the bottom H of the combustion receptacle ll'. Said bottom cover, J, lis also provided with a perforated bottom, J2, and in the side of the cover J is formed an opening, J1", which permits the entrance oi a lighted match, so as to ignite the tobacco held in the combustionchamber H.

To the under side of the bottom part C of the barrel B is secured a plate, l, provided with a central opening, K, which registers with a central aperture in the plug N, resting on the said plate K, and formed at its upper end into a cone, as is plainly shown in Fig. 2. On the said plug N screws a tube, L, held centrally in the bottom C of the part C of the barrel B and extending through the latter into the top ot the part D of the barrel B. In this tube L is held the pipe-stein O, provided at its lower en d with a conical, concavity, O', held a short distance above the upper cone end of the plug N. On the stem O is cut a spiral groove, O2, which commences at the bottom and extends to within a short distance of the upper end, and then continues into an inwardly and upwardly extending aperture, O3, which leads to a central aperture, O4, formed in the upper part of the stem O and opening at the top into .the mouth-piece P, ot and desired shape and length, and screwing on the upper end ot" the said pipe-stem O. rlhe latter is cone-shaped at its top, and a similar form is given to the lower part of the inside of the mou th -piece P, as is plainly shown in Fig. 2.

The barrel B is lfilled with tobacco by open- IOO ing the door F and introducing` the tobacco through the opening D', so that it can be packed around the central tube, L. Now, when the operator desires to smoke he holds the gate G outward, so that the tobacco in the barrel B i'alls through the opening C2 into the combustion-chamber ll, and when a desired quantity is in the latter the operator removes his fingers from the gate G, whereby the spring-bar G again :forces the gate G inward and over the opening C2, so that the combustion-receptacle ll and the tobacco in the barrel B are completely separated. The smoker then introduces an ignited match through the aperture J 3 in the bottom cover, J, and draws in the usual manner on the mouth-piece l. The smoke arising' from drawing, as above described, passes through the opening K in the plate K to the central opening' in the plug N, and from the latter into the conical recess O', and then into the spiral groove O2 on the pipe-stein O. The smoke passes along the spiral groove O2, and is finally drawn into the apertures O3 and O4 and .into the upper part of the pipe-stem O, and then passes into the mouth-piece P. Now, it will be seen that the smoke travels a long distance around the spiral groove O2 before it reaches the smokers mouth. It will further be seen that nicotine and other poisonous substances arising from the tobacco in the smoke are collected on the conical end oit' the plug N, and the saliva from the smokers mouth is collected at the conical end ot' the pipe-stein O, so that the usual unhealthy results ot smoking tobacco are avoided.

It will further be seen that the eonilnistionreceptacle H can easily be removed from the extension l by opening the bottom cover, J.

Having thus 'fully described my invention, l claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. A tobacco-pipe provided with a storagechamber having an opening leading into the bowl thereof and with a valve Ator closing the said opening, substantially as described.
