TOBACCO-PIPE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 11, l1906.

Application tiled January 16.1906. Serial No. 296,378.

To all whom, it may concern.'

Be it known that I, LoRENs SwENsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cresco, in the county of Howard and State of Iowa, have invented new and useful Im-I provements in Tobacco-Pipes, of which the following is a speciiication.

My invention pertains to tobacco-pipes,- and it has for its object to provide a tobaccopipe embodying' a simple and inexpensive construction and arrangement of chambers for robbing the smoke of nicotin and assuring the smoke being cooled to a considerable extent before it reaches the mouth of the smoker and one susceptible of being expeditiously and thoroughly cleared of collected nicotin and other sediment when the same is necessary.

Vith the foregoing in mind the invention will be fully understood from the following description and claim when the same are considered in connection with the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification. in which Figure 1 is a longitudinal vertical section of my novel tobacco-pipe. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the mouthpiece of the pipe removed, and Fig. 3 is a longitudinal vertical section of a modified stem hereinafter referred to in detail.

Referring by letter to the said drawings, and more particularly'to Figs. l and 2 thereof, A is the bowl, and B the stem, of the pipe constituting the preferred embodiment of myinvention. The bowl A is provided at a point adjacent to its bottom with a smoke-passage c and is otherwise of the ordinary welliown construction. It may obviously be made of any material compatible with my invention and in various shapes and sizes at the The stem B is formed integral with the bowl A and comprises a lower chamber b, whichA exten ds throughout its length and is connected at its forward end to the passage a of the bowl and is open at its rear end, an upper chamber c, open at its rear end and interiorly threaded at such end, as indicated by d, and a port or passage e, formed in the wall f between the chambers?) and c, so as to connect the rear portions of the chambers, for a purpose presently set forth. C is the removable mouthpiece of the pipe. The said mouthpiece has an exteriorly-tlneaded portion g, designed to engage the thread d in chamber c, and shoulders h and i, designed to bear against the rear ends of the chambers c and t, respectively, and it also has a forwardly-extending portion c, the forward end of which rests adjacent to the forward end of the chamber c, as illustrated, for a made clear. bringing up against the rear ends of the chambers c and b to limit the inward movement of the mouthpiece and add to the inish of the pipe, and the shoulder i. also serves to effectually close the rear end of the chamber t. It will be noticed, however, that when the mouthpiece C .is detached and withdrawn from the stem B the rear ends of the chambers b and c are left entirely uncovered, and hence said chambers may be expeditiously and thoroughly cleared of collected nicotin and other sediment with but a minimum amount of effort. It will also be noticed that when removed from the stem B the interior and exterior portion 7c of the mouthpiece C may be quickly and easily cleaned.

l/Vhen the mouthpiece C is positioned in and attached to the stem B, as shown in Fig. l, and the pipe is used, it will be apparent that en route from the bowl A to the outlet of the mouthpiece C the smoke must pass through the passage a, the chamber b, the port e, and the bore of the mouthpiece in the order named. It will also be apparent that because of the longitudinal chambers b and c being parallel and the port e and the forward end of the mouthpiece portion 7c being relatively arranged, as shown in Fig. 1, the smoke in taking the course described must traverse the full length of the channel b, the full length of the chamber c, and the full length of the mouthpiece C. From this it follows that by the time the smoke reaches the mouth of the smoker nicotin will be practically eliminated from the smoke, and the smoke will be cooled to such an extent as to avoid annoyance to the smoker.

Vhen it is necessary to clean my novel pipe, the mouthpiece C is detached and withdrawn from the stem B, so that access may be readily gained to the interior of all of I the parts, as before described.

I In Fig. 3 ofthe drawings I have illustrated l a stem B', which is similar in construction to the stem B of Fig. 1 with the exception that it is provided with a forward reduced portion B2. The said reduced portion BZ is designed to be arranged and frictionally held in the suitable bowl and to bore of a clay or other i be removed therefrom when desired. The

6o y purpose which will presentlybe .I The shoulders 7i and 'i serve by IOO IIO

i this it follows that When the mouthpiece C is expeditiously and thoroughly cleared of colmade of one piece and having therein longitumodiied stem B is designed to be used in l connection with the mouthpiece C and isV ob# viously possessed of all of the practical advantages hereinbeiore ascribed to the stem B oi Fig. 1.

removed both chambers of the stem may be lected sediment.

I claim- ,my hand in presence of The combination of a tobacco-pipe stem 1' dinal chambers arranged one above the other and separated by a longitudinal Wall and 'I open at their rear ends and connected adjacent to said ends by an intermediate passage Jformed in the said longitudinal Wall; one of said chambers being closed at its Jforward end and having an interior thread in its rear portion and the other being provided at its for- Ward `end with an inlet for smoke, and a mouthpiece having an eXteriorly-threaded portion removably arranged in the rear threaded end of the first-mentioned chamber and a forwardly-extending portion disposed in said chamber and also having a shoulder disposed entirely in rear of and closing the rear end of the other chamber.
