TOBACCO-PIPE.

MP-Q The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of theeame.

To all whom. 'it 'may concern Be it known that I, GEORGE COREY, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Tobacco- '.Pipes; 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 speeication.

This invention relates to a new and useful improvement in tobacco-smoking pipes, whereby many objections to the ordinary tobacco-pipes are obviated; and

It consists in hanging the bowl of the pipe on pivots, in a forked sten' so that it may be revolved, if desired, and so that it will, by its own gravity, hang in an upright position; and also in the arrangement of the bowl, and parts connected therewith, as will-be hereinafter more fully described.

Figure 1 represents a longitudinal central vertical section of a pipe constructed according to my invention.-

Figure 2 is a top view, with the lowl turned, so as,

to show the connection with the stem, with parts broken away.

Figure 3 is a vertical section of the pipe, showing the bowl as when hung on double sets of pivots, so that it will remain in an upright position, when turned or tipped either way.

Figure 4 is a top view of the same, showingthe method in which the double pivots are arranged.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A is the bowl.

B represents the stem.

O is the saliva-chamber, which is screwed` intothe bottom of the bowl, or otherwise connected.

D is 'a bow, to which the bowl of the pipe is hung by tubes, and to which the stem is attached by screwthread, or otherwise, as seen at e.

, F represents curved tubes, with T-ends, attached to the bowl of the pipe, as seen at g g, g. 2, and to the saliva-chamber, as seen at h h.

The connection of the bow D with the curved T- tubes F may be as seen inthe drawing, or be reversed, so that the T will form the pivot, if desired.l

It will be seen that, in drawing onthe mouth-piece J, theair is drawn from the top of the bowl A down into the pipe, and the smoke is drawn downward into the saliva-chamber C, through the curved tubes F F, into the bow D, and'from thence into the stem B.

It will also be seen that the smoke is divided, at the saliva-chamber, into two currents, thus making the arrangement equivalent to a long stem, for cooling the smoke before it reaches the mouth, and also for condensing the vapor, and enabling it to return tothe saliva-chamber, and for receiving the nicotine ofthe tobacco.

As seeuat K, fig. l, there is a screw-plug in the time, andthe tubes F F cleansed as often as' may be necessary.

Figs. 3 and 4 show a modification of the above, representing the bowl as surrounded by an irregularshaped tubular bandL, which tubularl band is counected with the bow D by pivots, m fm, and with the bowl of' the pipe by straight tubes n n, curved tubes o o, and pivots p p.' 1

lhese curved tubes o o conduct the smoke from the saliva-chamber C into the tubular hand L, from whence it is discharged into the bow D and stem B.

In the arrangement first described, (or as seen in figs. 1 and 2,) the bowl will be maintained in an upright position only when the smoker moves his head up or down in a direction parallel withthe stem, or moves the stem horizontally. When the smoker tips his head one side, from a vertical position, thebow'l will also be tipped.

By the double sets of pivots, as seen in iigs. 3 and 4, thebowl will always be maintained in an upright position, without reference to the position of the head of the smoker.

The advantages of this arrangement are many and obvious.

In the iirst place, the bowl always haugsin an upright position by its own gravity, whatever may be the position of the smoker, thus preventing danger from spilling lire from 'the pipe.`

All the advantages of a long-stem pipe are obtained, as the pipe can be readily taken apart for cleaning, or for packing in the pocket or elsewhere, thus making `it essentially a safety-pipe, which is rendered quite as agreeable to the smoker'as the long-stem pipe, without the inconvenience of the long stem in either using or transporting.

It will be seen that the pipe, with the double sets of 4 pivots, (as seen m figs. 3 and 4,) is readily converted into the pipeiirst described, as vby dispensing with the tubular band L, the straight tubes n n will fit the bow D.

I do not, therefore, confine myself exclusively to either method in manufacturing the pipe, but design to make them convertible, as represented, when the double setsvof pivots are employed.

Having thus describcd'my invention,

I claim asl new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A tobaccu-p1pe,'with thel bowl hung on pivots, so

that it will always remain'in an upright positionV by its own gravity, substantially as shown and described.

2. The curved tlkbes I F and the vbowl D, in combinationwith the bowl of a smoking-pipe, and stem B, arranged substantially as and .for the purpose set forth.

3. In combination with a tobaccopipe, the bow D, the tubular band L, the straight tubes n n, curved tubes o o, and pivots p p, arranged substantially as and for the purposes herein shown and described.
