1 Claim. 1

This invention relates to a smokers pipe.

The object of the invention is to provide a smokers pipe which is constructed so that nicotine, tar, or other deleterious substances will be prevented from passing into the smokers mouth.

Another object of the invention is to provide a smokers pipe which includes filter elements that can be readily removed and replaced, the pipe being readily disassembled for cleaning or replacement of parts, the pipe insuring a cooler smoke for the user.

A further object of the invention is to provide a smokers pipe which is extremely simple and inexpensive to manufacture.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent during the course of the following description.

In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this application, and in which like numerals are used to designate like parts throughout the same:

Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional View taken through a smokers pipe constructed according to the present invention;

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 2--2 of Figure 1;

Figure 3 is a side elevational view of the body member;

Figure 4 is a vertical sectional view of the baiile cylinder;

Figure 5 is a fragmentary bottom plan view of the bowl;

Figure 6 is a vertical sectional view taken through the inner bowl;

Figure '7 is a fragmentary elevational view showing the condenser and a portion of the mouthpiece.

Referring in detail to the drawings, there is shown a pipe which may be made of any suitable material, and the pipe of the present invention includes an elongated mouthpiece I D which is provided with a longitudinally extending bore I I. Figure 1. One end of the mouthpiece Il! is adapted to be conveniently inserted in the smokeris mouth, while the other end of the mouthpiece I is shaped to dene a shoulder I2.

The pipe further includes an outer bowl I4 which has a stem I extending therefrom or formed integrally therewith. The stem I5 is provided with a longitudinally extending bore I6, and an interior portion of the stem l5 is cut away to define a chamber Il. Positioned in the chamber I1 is a condenser i 8, Figure '7, and the condenser I8 may be made of any suitable material, such as metal. The condenser It is made or provided with a plurality of ns I9, so

that as the smoke passes thereover, any -tar or other deleterious material being carried by the smoke will condense onto the condenser I8. The condenser I8 isV provided with openings 2 0, Figure 7, so that the smoke can readily pass from the bore I6, through the chamber |1, then through the openings 2|! and then through a bushing 2| and finally through the bore II into the smoker's mouth.

Arranged in spaced relation within the outer bowl I4 is an inner bowl 22. The inner bowl 22 is provided with an annular shoulder 23, Figure 1, and the shoulder 23 rests or abuts the upper edge of the outer bowl I4. The inner bowl 22 is adapted to hold the tobacco being burned, there being an opening 24 at the bottom of the bowl 22 for a purpose to be later described.

Interposed between the inner bowl 22 and the outer bowl I4 is a baile cylinder 25, Figure 4. The baille cylinder 25 is provided with a lower, interiorly threaded collar 26, and the collar 26 projects through an opening 2l in the outer bowl I4. The baffle cylinder 25 denes, with the inner bowl 22 and outer bowl I4, a pair of compartments or smoke passageways 28 and 29.

Arranged contiguous to the upper end of the baiiie cylinder 25 is an annular lter element 30 which is made of any suitable material, such as absorbent cotton. It will be seen that the filter 30 separates the compartments 28 and 29 from each other, so that as smoke is drawn through the opening 24, the smoke will pass first through the compartment 29, then the smoke will be filtered by the element 30, and then the smoke will pass through the compartment 28 and into the bore I6.

'Ihe pipe further includes a body member 3|, Figure 3, and the body member 3| includes an annular threaded portion 32 which is adapted to be arranged in engagement with the threaded collar 26 of the baille cylinder 25. The body member 3| is further provided with a at, knurled knob 33, so that the body member 3| can be readily removed from or replaced in the pipe, and further, the bottom of the body member 3| enables the pipe to be supported on a table or other member when not being used. Projecting upwardly from the body member 3| is a plurality of spaced, parallel fingers 34, and a filter pad 35 which may be of absorbent cotton is positioned between the ngers 34 and extends lon-` gitudinally through the major portion of the body member 3|. The filter pad 35 is positioned directly below the opening 24, so that a large 3 portion of the moisture or juices from the burning tobacco will be collected by the filter pad 35.

From the foregoing, it is apparent that a smokers pipe has been provided wherein a cleaner and cooler smoke wil1 be insured. The tobacco being burned is positioned in the inner bowl 22, and the smoke passes first through the opening 24, then through the compartment 29, then through the filter element 30, next through the compartment 28 into the bore I6, then through the chamber I1, then through the bushing 2l, and iinally through the bore H into the smokers mouth. A major portion of the juices, such as tar, nicotine and the like, or moisture, will be collected in the absorbent pad 35, while the iilter element 30 will also help to purify the smoke. Further, the condenser I8 will cause any remaining tar to precipitate out.

The cotton 35 will collect or receive the moisture from the burning tobacco, so that pipe gurgling willbe prevented. Thus, the smoker will not draw any of the offensive accumulation from the heel of the pipe. The filter element 30 retains the smoke tar and some of the moisture. The at bottom of the body member 3| prevents the pipe from turning over and spilling ashes when not being smoked.

I claim:

A smokers pipe comprising an outer hollow bowl provided with a stem extending therefrom, there being a longitudinally extending bore arranged in said stem communicating with the interior of said bowl, an elongated mouthpiece provided with a shoulder snugly seated in said bore, there being a longitudinally extending bore arranged in said mouthpiece communicating with the bore in said stem, an inner bowl arranged in spaced relation within said outer bowl said inner bowl having a laterally extending shoulder, a baille cylinder interposed between said inner and outer bowls and dening a pair of compartments, one of said compartments being an inner compartment and surrounding said inner bowl, and the other of said compartments being an outer compartment between said baie and said bowl there being an opening in the bottom of said inner bowl, an annular lter element positioned '4 around the upper end of said baffle cylinder, said lter element being so dimensioned that it conipletely lls the vertical space between the upper end of the baiiie cylinder and the innermost lower shoulder of the inner bowl and extends laterally to contact both the outer wall of the inner bowl and the inner wall of the outer bowl thus separating said compartments from each other so that smoke drawn from said inner bowl will pass outwardly of the opening therein into said inner compartment and will pass outwardly of said inner compartment through said lter into said outer compartment and then through the bores in the stem and mouthpiece, the lower portion of said baiile cylinder defining an intermediate threaded collar, a body member including an exteriorly threaded portion arranged in engage- 'ment `with said collar, a at knurled knob arranged on the lower end of said body member, the upper end of said body member being provided with a plurality of spaced parallel fingers, and an absorbent pad positioned in said body member between said fingers.
