LOUIS SAARBAOII, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.

IIVIPROVED TOBACCO-PIPE.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 46,269, dated February 7, 1865.

T0 all whom t may concern: c,

Be it known that I, LOUIs SAAEBAOH, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented an Improvement in Tobacco-Pipes; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description ofthe same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

My invention consists of a curved tube, in combination with the stem and bowl of a tobacco-pipe, and with a detachable reservoir, so that the fluids from the mouth and the oil from the bowl may be collected in the reser- Voir and not interfere with the free passage of the smoke through the tube, and so that when the latter has to be cleansed it may be readily detached from the bowl and stem.

In order to enable others to make and use my invention, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation.

On reference to the accompanying drawing, which forms a part of this specieation, the figure represents a side view, partly in section, of my improved tobacco-pipe.

A is a curved tube, which is largest at the ends, one Of the latter being adapted for the recept-ion of the end of the Ordinary stem, B, and the other for the reception of a hollow projection, w, on the under side of the bowl C. From the center of the pipe A projects a hollow stud, ce, on the outside of which are threads corresponding to those in an opening of a hollow sphere or reservoir, D.

Many of the tobacco-pipesA now in use have,

detachable reservoirs for the reception of the fluids of the, mouth or oil from the tobacco,

the said reservoir being placed either in the stem or directly below the bowl of the pipe;

but these are objectionable, as the passage through which the oil or uid flows cannot be cleansed, and consequently in a shorttime becomes so foul that the pipe is unfit for use.

It will be seen that in the pipe above described both the fluids from the mouth and the oil from the tobacco iiow directly into the curved tube A, and are conveyed along the latter to the reservoir D, so that the passage between the bowl and the stem remains perfectly free, while the -reservoir may be detached at any time to remove the contents. It

will also be seen that when the tube A becomes CHARLES E. FOSTER, JOHN WHITE.
