ronnoco PIPE.

TO'ALL WHOM 1:1? MAY OONGERN:

Be it known that I, SOLOMON ANDREWS, of Perth Amboy, in the county of -Middlesex', and vState of New Jersey, have invented a Sanitary Smoking Pipe and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make-and use the same, reference being had to the'accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification;

The principal objects of the present invention are toconstruct the bowl or tobacco chamber or. receptaclc of a smoking pipe in such a manner that as the pipe smokedan-y and'all poisonous and disagreeable eli'ects on'the mouth shall be entirely avoided, and also to prevent all accumulation of nicotine within thebowl or stem, or both, of the pipe, which, as is well known, causes a biting sensation in the mouth and to the tongue.

Many improvements in smoking pipes have been heretofore Invented and patented having the objects herein above stated in view but have all failed, owing to the fact that the smokel'from the pipe in passing to the mouth was obliged, either in a greater or less degree, to pass over or through the accumulation of nicotine in the bowl or other portion of the pipe between it and the mouth; and thus becoming either more or less saturated, as it were, with it, necessarily and unavoidahlycarri'ed, some-portion to the month. My invention is intended to prevent the evil, not to cure it, for the, smoke passing to the mouth is perfectlydr y'end free from all nicotine-and otherobnoxious and disagreeable tastes, the construction ofithe pipe being such as not only to entirely avoid the accumulation of-nicotine, and the conveyance of it to the mouth of the person smoking the pipe, but also to effect an economy in the amount of tobacco used, as-will be obvious from thefollowing detailed description thereof, reference being bad to the accompanying plate of'j'drawin gs, in which-'-' Figure 1 is a front view of-the upperside ot' the bowl of the pipe and its stem, taken in. the direction of its length. i I

Figure 2, a central section, taken in the plane of the line a: x, fig. 1; and

Figure 3, a view of the open end of the mouth-piece or stem of the pipe.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

A, in the drawings, represents the bowl of the pipe, which is made of a hollow cylindrical shape, closed at one end, B, andwith the stem 0 screwed or in any other proper manner inserted in' its other end, D, so as to form a continuation thereof; the stem C and bowl A being in one and the same line with each other, as shown inthe drawings. Through the stem of the pipe apassage, E, is formed, communicating at one end with the bowl A, and at its other terminating in anelongated or enlarged opening or slot, F, atthe mouth-pieceG, the elongation of which opening is for the purpose of more fully difi'using orspreading the smoke. drawn through the stem from the bowl ofthe pipe'within the mouth, whereby the heating sensation produced-by the smoke from pipes is greatly reduced, and the smoke consequently made much more palatable and agreeable to the taste. H, an opening in the upper side' of the bowl A, and at or near its closed and outer cn'd,'through which opening the pipe or bowl is charged or-filled with the tobacco or other-material that is to be smoked in it, and at which the tobacco is lighted and burnt or consumed. By formingthe opening H, at which the tobacco in the bowl of the pipe is consumed, in the upper side of the bowl, it is plainto be seen that when the pipeis in the month, and is being smoked, all the nicotine extracted or drawn from the tobacco used necessarily must fall orrun toward the lower end of the bowl, and thus in the proper direction to be dissipated by the fire of the tobacco. This, of course, prevents an accumulation of fluid in the bowl of the pipe, and also in the passage or draught through which the smoke passes to the mouth, thus entirely obviating all possibility of the smoke becoming saturated or charged with it, and. the ashes or fire from the tobacco, as it is consumed, are also prevented from falling out of or from the bowl, but can be thrown out in any proper manner. In addition to the advantages hereinab'ove stated as being secured by my present invention, may be here mentioned that a pipe of my improved construction strongly resembles an ordinary cigar in shape and style, and 'for this reason, if no other, is quite desirable and convenient as well as useful; It may be remarked in conclusion, that it is best to make the cavity in the bowl small at the outer opening, but enlarging towards the stem, so that the tobacco may be less liable t'o'fall out when the pipe is held in the mouth or is in a pendent position. I

I claim as new,and desire to secure by Letters Patentl The elongated pipe A, with its opening H at its upper side at the end B, when its stem is constructed and applied in-t'h'e manner herein represented and described.
