This invention relates to smoking pipes A tube 15, openat its ends, is arranged in and one of its objects is to provide novel the enlarged borelO of thestem and the en means of simple character for trapping larged bore 12 of the bit with its ends abutnicotine so that it will not bedrawninto lllg' the shoulders 11 and 13.

This accumulation of I smoking pipes in the drawings, but I do not nleotinewill not interfere with the draught I restrict myself to the use of the invention of the plpe because the smoke will pass from 46 in these particular forms. The stem has a the bore-8 through that part of the passage bore 8 and the bit has a bore 9, which register 19 above the inner tube 16 to the opening and form a continuous smokepassage. The 20. That part of the inner tube 16 from the bore 8 is enlarged at 10, and this enlarge- Q'plug 17 as far as may be necessary towards ment extends fromthe free end of the stemthe opening. 20 constitutes a trap for the to the shoulder, 11, which is located between saliva, which may flow into the bore .9 and I the free end of the stem and the bowl at the inner tube 16 from the mouth of the smoker. other end of the stem. 1 The bore 9 in the This saliva will collect in the'inner tube bebit is enlarged at 12 and this enlargement ginning at the plug and the plug is sulfi extends from the outer end of the bit to ciently distant from the'opening 2O to form- 55 the shoulder 13 which is located between the an ample saliva trap. The construction is outer end ot'the bit. and the mouthpiece 14. such that nicotine will be trapped between the bowl and the mouthpiece and the smoke drawn through the mouthpiece into the mouth of the smoker will be clean and free from nicotine; and also Whatever saliva flows into the pipe from the mouth of the smoker Will be trapped in the tube 16 and Will not be drawn back into the mouth of the smoker because the outer end of the saliva tube is closed by the plug and the smoke inletfZO is nearer the mouth Off the smoker than the saliva trap. The bit can be easily removed from the stem leaving the outer'tube in thestemand the inner tube in the bit, or. the outer tube maybe removed from the stem and the inner tube maybe removed from the bit if desired for cleaning purposes. The plug l7 removable from the inner tube to permit the insertion of a cleaner.

The construction shown in. Fig. 3 diil'ere from that she vn in Fi 1 only in the respect that instead of making the smoke passage 19 by arranging the inner tube within and spaced from the outer tube, ll provide an outer'tube 21 with a thick ivall and bore this Wall at the top of the tube to provide a smoke passage 22 Which extends entirely through the outer tube and has a side opening 23 registering Withaside opening 24: in the inner tube 25 to permit the smoke to pass through the bore 22 into the inner tube. The outer tube 21 is also shorter than the outertube 15 to provide an ample nicotine trap 26. The bit can be easily separated from the stem and the outer tube can be separated from the bit to permit cleaning the nicotine trap 26 and the bore 22, and the friction cap 18 can be removed from the tube25 to permit cleaning the saliva tube and the bore in the bit.

My invention can be applied to pipes of different sizes, shapes and materials; it is simple in construction, inexpensive to manufacture, and easy to use. The nicotine and saliva traps prevent the smoker from drawing the nicotine and the saliva into his mouth under usual smoking condit ons, and this 1nsures a clean, relatively dry and pleasant smoke at all times. It is a Well known fact that in the case of many smokers saliva flows from the mouth of the smoker into the pipe and this saliva travels down the smoke passage and mixes With the nicotine and is'often j pipe or the passage of the smoke.

I claim: g

1. A smoking pipe comprising a stem and a bit connected together and having a smoke passage therethrough, said stem and bit hav-- ing aligned enlarged borcs vith shoulders at their inner ends, an outer tubular member seated in said enlarged bores and having its open ends abutting said shoulders, said tubular member constituting an intermediate portion of the smoke passage, and a tubular member seated-in the smokepassage of the bit and projecting into that portion of the outer tubular member seated ini the stem and forming a saliva trap. Y

2. A; smoking pipe comprising a. stem an a bit having an enlarged alined bore forming a continuous chamber, said stem and bit adapted to abut each other, a tube fitted in said bore and adapted to be fixed toone of said'members to strengthen the pipe and to hold the stem and bit together, atubular member in the bit and extending insaid first tube, said second tubular member having an opening in the top thereof.

3. A smoking pipe comprising a stem and a bit having an enlarged bore thereimand forming a continuous smokechambe'r, a hollow metal insert in said chamber frictionallyengaging one ofsaid parts for holding the stem and bit together, a second hollow metal tube fixed to the bit and extending near the end of the enlarged bore in the stem, anda removable cap for said second tube and forming a saliva chamber, said second tube having a hole in the top thereof near the-end .of the bore in the bit.
