Specification forming part er Letters Patent No,44,S63dated Novehxber 1, 1864.

TovaZZ whom it' may concern.- Be ,it known that I, H. J. HALE, of the city,` county, and State of New York, have invented Pipes; and I do hereby declare that the followinvention, which will enable others skilled in -the art'to-niake and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which-- Figure 1 shows my improved tobacco-pipe tridge ready for smoking applied thereto. Fig. 2 is the cartridge detached. Fig. 3 is an end view of the pipe and cartridge. Fig-4 is also a longitudinal section ofthe pipe ,and cartridge, which is given to showa modification. iu the form of the radiator S. Fig. 5 is au end view foflthev pipe xand cartridge, with the radiator shown in Fig.' 4. Fig. 6 represents a carent granted March 31, 1863, to vEdward J. Mallett.

Tobacco-pipes which have bowls to contain thetobacco soon become foul and emit offensive odors.' Many devices have been gotten up to overcome or obvi'ate this defect, but The extensive use at the present time of the costly meersehauln-pipe is ving to the (doubtful) property claimed for it of absorbing and destroying the noxious secretions which .Lrise from the use of tobacco in a pipe. The best of the devices hitherto introduced `to the public are subject to the same objections as the simplest-r pipe, and in allof them the bowl becomes' foul, and the smoker is soon compelled to choose a fresh pipe. y J is the pipe, having a stem, h, whose mouthpiece has an elastic ring, U, slipped upon it. its otherend is beveled, as shown at O, and at the beginning of the bevel a screw-thread is cut upon it, which takes into a screw-thread cutin one end of the cylinder g, thus securing them to each other. The other 4end of the cylinder is closed in the pipe here shown. The upper and under sides of the cylinder have threaded holes tapped in them, the lower one to receive the upper end of a threaded tube, n, which serves to connect a reservoir, :0,1 of

any' desirable shape, to the cylinder, and the hold' upon the radiator and the bottom-'of the cartridge, the object being to canse the sides of the tube to serve as the retainer of the radiator and the cartridge. The cartridge is made so as to have a bottom, c, of sufficient strength and stiffness to maintain itsupright position upon the pipe without otherm'eansof attachmeut or support during the process of smokin g.

Thebottom is perforated in its center to receive the tube e, and it to it snugly. 1t is inclosed with the tobacco a within a capsule, d, which 7 completely envelope the bottom` and sides of the cartridge, and may or may notenvelop its top, according to the manner of making it. The 'charge of tobacco may be supported clear from the bottom c by a perforated curved diaphragm, b, of metal or other stiff material; but this is not necessary to the successful construction of the cartridge, nor to its success ful use with a pipe. The cartridges may be prepared in the manner described in Letters Patent 'granted to Edward J. Mallett, March 31, 1863, or in any other way, and may be of Aany convenient size and shape, providing always that their-bottoms be of suiiicient strength and stiffness to serve as means of 'attaching them to a pipe, and holding them securely in proper position until the charge of tobacco is consumed in the process of smoking. By this mode of smoking tobacco a large portion of its residuum will be lodged upon and retained by 'the= bottom 'of the cartridge, and since thebottom is thrown away after the cartridge is consumed, the smoker is relieved of the presence and consequent had and oen'sive odor, in his pipe of that portion of the residuum.

The pipe may be made with `a removable cover atits-outer end, attached .by a screw or form.

disk set tangentially to the cylinder, and in- 2 'ILGS smoker to cleanse the mulations` The inner end of the stem h is cut away atl O; so that its sides andend within the cylinder at that end of the cylinder may be retained under the stem, so as not to be drawn therein with the draft of .smoke and air.

S is a radiator, whose office is to intercept and disperse the heat arising from the combustion of the cartridge, and thereby protect the cylinder-g and the joint made in it by the tube n. The heat created in the act of smoking will, Without such a device, cause the tube e, which will usually be made of metal, to expand in the side of the cylinder.- When it contracts on cooling, it falls away from the sides of the hole in which it is inserted, and the tube becomes loose in its joint and the pipe is untfor use. The radiator prevents this result in my pipe. It may be made of any In Figs. 1 and 2 it has` the form of a Figs. e and 5 of a shallow cup. T it may be pipe from such accumade of any material, a good conductor of heat beingppreferred. The part o f the tube below it and the eylinder itself will be protected by .it from the radiated heat of the burning cartridg'e, and a great part of 'the heat communicated to the upper ,part of the tube will be conducted oiI by the radiator S. The radiator is removable, so as to enable the smoker to use dierent-shaped radiators upon his pipe. 1f` the form shown in Figs. 4 and 5 is chosen, the smoker will be able to use the tobacco-car tridge of Malletts, (shown iu Fig. 6,) ae well as the improved v-cartridggge with a holdfast bottom, above described;

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The radiator S, constructed and applied to a tobaccqpipe, substantially as and for the. purpose above described.

. 2. 1lhe combination ol' the radiator' with the smoke-tabac of the pipe, Vsubstantially as above described. v
