TOBACCO SMOKING-PIPE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 633,292, dated September 19, 1899.

Application filed July 2, 1897. Renewed May 29, 1899. Serial No. 718,773. (No model.)

To air/Z7 whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ISAAC NICHOLSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Vallejo, in the county of Solano and State of California, have invented 'a new and useful Improvement in Tobacco Smoking-Pipes, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates especially to pipes for smoking tobacco, and has for its object the IO production of a device wherein the nicotine, ashes, and fine particles from the tobacco being consumed will not be drawn into the mouth of the smoker. To attain this end, my invention consists, essentially, in a hollow perforated bridge or tube extending across the inside of the bowl of the pipe at a proper distance from the bottom to afford or provide a chamber or space under the said tube in the bottom of the bowl, the said tube being a permanent part of the bowl and forming a socket for the end of the stem of the pipe, all of which will more fully appear by a further description and reference to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

z 5 In the said drawings, Figure 1 is a side view a of the bowl with the stem removed. Fig, 2 is a vertical cross-section; Fig. 3, a horizontal section on the line 0: m. Fig. 4: illustrates a slight modification in which the tube forming 0 the hollow bridge is formed separately and afterward fixed in the bowl, the view being a ver tical section through the bowl and the bridge.

.A indicates the hollow bridge or tube extending across the tobacco-holding space of the bowl B above the bottom, so as to leave a space I) under the tube.

A are perforations in the tube, preferably located on the under side, and A is the socket for the stem 0. In this position the chamber at the base of thebowl forms a receptacle for the nicotine, ashes, and saliva, while the tube protects the aperture and passage in the stem and prevents the same from being choked or clogged, as the position of the pipe when in use maintains the tube and stem at a greater 5 or less downward inclination from the mouth of the smoker.

The tube A is either formed integrally with the bowl at the time of its manufacture, as in the case of clay bowls, or the tube is formed separately and afterward inserted in the bowl through an aperture formed in one side and fixed in place, so as not to be disturbed when the stem is inserted into the tube. This modification is shown in Fig. 4 of the drawings, where the bridge a is fixed across the bowl, so as to leave a space 1) between the bridge and the bottom of the bowl.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and'desire to secure by Letters Pat- 6o ent, is-

In a tobacco smoking-pipe the combination of the bowl, the tubular bridge having a perforation or perforations in its lower side and fixed in the bowl above the bottom from one ISAAC NICHOLSON.
