To ALL. WHoM 1T MAY ooNonnN: y

V 'Be it known that I, EDWIN I-IOY'T, of Stamford,in Athc county of Fairfield, and Stateot Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement Vin vTobacco Pipes; and I do hereby declare that the following is a clear and exact'dcscription of the same, reference being had to rthcfaccompanying drawing, which forms part of .this

specification.

My invention consists in the combination with the howl and stem of a tobacco pipe of a saliva and nicotine c up having a perforated top, which cup is placed in the bottom of the bowl oi' the pipe in such manner that a tube which it carries will communicate with the exterior of the bowl, ,the said tube carrying a eap'or bulb on its lower endwhich may be removed for emptying out the sal-iva and nicotine; the said cup' being also provided with an aperture in one of its sides, into' which isthrust the neck of a socket for holding'the stem, or theend ofthe stem itself, as will be hereinafter described.

A designates the bowl of the pipe, 'and B the stem thereof, either of which may beef any proper form. I will, however, add that in the present v'instance the bowl is of a construction which renders it very inexpensive to make it., It will be noticed that it has a samcness of shape which is easily turned and'bored to form the said bowl. It will therefore be seen` that my improvements, presently to be described, admit of the use of a bowl whichvcostsexceedingly little to make. C is the saliva and nicotine cup. This may bc made of a iat circular piece of metal struck up in successive dies till of the right shape to form the sides of the cup aswell as ,the i tube, a. This-.cup is' provided with a perforated top, b, (see more-particularlyiig. 2;) and` the tube a has 0,

screw-thread cut upon its lower end, (see iig. 2,) upon which is fitted to screw a cap'orl a bulb, c, see iig. 1. I will, however, here remark that`v the screw-thread could be dispensed with, and the cap'or bulb be fitted sutiiciently tightly to hold its position by friction. D is a socket for receiving the stem of the pipe.. This may be secured directly into a hole made in the side of the bowl-as shown in iig. 1 of the drawing-or it may be secured into a female-screw ring set into thehole inthe side of the bowl. j This latter, though-not shown in the drawing, would be preferable, as the thread, if in the wood, lwould be likely soon to wear out. l The socket D carries a neck, d, which protrudes through the opening, e, in the cup, C, as shown clearly in iig. 1. Into this socket D is fitted the lower end of the stem B of the pipe.

From the above description it will be seen'that the cup C serves as a nicotine receptacle and a salive. receptacle. Upon its top is placed the tobacco, and the smoke is drawn through into itsbody, where it is cooled very quickly indeed, surrounded on all sides as it is .by metal; and the metal is not likely to become heated unless, perhaps, `when the very last of the .tobacco is burning; hence a more complete-and perfect clarifying of the smoke is insured. The nicotine and other poisonous matters fall to the bottom of the cup and into the tube a, and, if a bulb is employed, down still further into that; and in either case itis quite impossible to draw it up into the mouth, as it cannot reach the .lower end of thestem of the pipe. The saliva which, in smoking, is likely to get into the stem of the pipe, will run down into the cup C, and follow the same course Aas the nicotine); but if it shouldA not readily run down therein it can quickly be forced down by merely blowing into the stem.

In using the pipe it will not be necessary often to remove the cup from the bowl, for any ashes, saliva, or nicotine which it may contain will run out of the tube a: on removing the cap or bulb c. If, however, it should be desirable to remove the cup to thoroughly cleanse it, by dipping it in alcohol, or otherwise, the socket canlbc unscrewed and the cap or bulb can be removed, when the cup can be taken from out the bowl. A tobacco pipe thus made presents a very neat appearance, and the expense of manufacturing it exceeds but a few cents the cost of manufacturing common mahogany or brief-Wood pipes.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The nicotine and saliva cup C, in combination with the bowl of a tobacco pipe, constructed and arranged substantially as herein specified.

2. The socket D, provided with a neck d, in combination with the cup C, bowl A, and stem B, substantially as and for the purposes herein speeiiied;

3. The combination of Athe cup C, bowl A, cap or bulb e, socket D, and stem B, substantially as herein shown and described.
