Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed. January 20, 1908.

Patented Dec. 8, 1908.

Serial No. 411,694.

To all whom it 'may cof/wem.

Be it known that I, ANDREW J. MADLEM, a citizen of the United States, residing at Goshen, in the county of Elkhart and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tobacco-Pipes, of which the followin is a specification.

My invention re ates to tobacco pipes and the object of my invention is to rovide a tobacco pi e which may be easiy manufactured an that at a low cost.

A further object of my invention is to pro vide a pipe as mentioned which shall be of neat appearance and one which may be readily and quickly cleaned.

y Other objects will appear hereinafter.

Vith these objects in view my invention consists generally in a ipe in which the bowl and that portion of t e stem which is usually formed integrally therewith are formed of separate pieces of suitable material and connected by a reed which serves the double purpose of a dowel-pin and a passageway connecting the parts. By constructing the pipe in this manner, the two arts may be readil turned upon a lathe t us avoiding irregu ar turning as is necessary when these portions of the pipe are formed of one iece. The adjacent sides are then flattened orming faces which may be readily secured together by cementing or gluin and the reed which connects the parts as before mentioned holds them firmly together. Not only are the parts more readi y manufactured, but smal er pieces of material may be utilized in making them which in some instances will materially lessen the cost of the finished article. Further, by constructing the pipe in this manner corn cob may be used in its manufacture which material is preferred by a great many, and the pipe may still be formed to present a neat or even artistic ap pearance.

My invention further consists in various details of construction and arrangements of parts all as will be hereinafter fully described and particularly pointed out in the claims.

My invention will be more readily understood by reference to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification and in which;

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a pi e embodying my invention in its preferre form, Fig. 2 is a vertical section thereof, Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the cleaner removed l from the pipe, and Fig. 4 is a horizontal section of the device on the line x-w of Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawings, 1 indicates the bowl of the pi e. This is formed of any suitable material ut I prefer the employment of corn cob. This is obviously circular in cross section when the cob is used but I prefer the circular cross section whateverthe material may be. By making the bowl circular in ordinary lathe.

2 indicates the lower portion of the stem, that is, the portion which is usually formed integrally with the bowl. This is formed of a separate iece of material similar to that of which the bowl is formed and is also preferably turned in a lathe. It is obvious that by this construction irregular turning such as is necessary with the ordinary one piece pipe is avoided. Also, that smaller pieces of material may be used in manufacturing the pi e. When made of corn cob, which is.usua y. preferable, a pipe of neat appearance may be made by forming it of two parts.k

4 indicates a reed extending horizontally through the portion, 2 and into the bowl, 1 forming a dowel-pin, for securing the parts together. The reed also forms a passageway 4 connecting the bowl of the pipe with the vertical duct 7 in the portion, 2, thereed being provided with the openings or apertures, 5v and 6 for communicating with the bowl and duct respectively. To more rigidly connect the portions, 1 and 2 their adj acent faces are flattened as at 1-2 and are glued or cemented together. The upper end of the duct, 7 is enlarged as at 7 to receive the end of the stem 8 which may be of any preferred or ordinary form.

9 indicates a metal sleeve or ferrule upon the upper end of the member, 2.

1() indicates a cleaner arranged in the reed, 4 and closed at the outer end by a plug, 3. The cleaner is substantially tubular but is cut vaway throughout the greater portion of its cross section it may be readily turned in an length forming a trough like receptacle, 12 Y to receive the nicotin wliioh collects therein. Depending from the outer end of the cleaner is a tongue, 11 which extends a slight distance below the bottom of the portion, 2 where it may be readily engaged to withdraw the cleaner from the reed.

It is obvious that the pipe herein described may-be easily manufactured and at a very low cost, also that in using the pipe the CII smoke: will be cooled before reaching the Irliouth and that the pipe may be readily kept c can.

Having described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent: is;

1. A pipe comprising the bowl and contiguous stem portions arranged parallel with each other and abutting substantially throughout their length and a reed forming a dowel-pin connecting said portions and also forming a 1passageway connecting the saine, subst'antia y as described.

2. A pipe comprising the bowl and contiguous stem portions each substantially circular in cross section and arranged parallel with each other said portions abutting throughout their length and a reed connecting said portions and forming a passageway between said bowl and stem portions, substantially as described.

3*. A pipe comprising a. bowl and contiguous stein portions. each substantially circular in cross section and arranged parallel withV each other,V the adjacent faces being flattened and cemented together, and a reed extending horizontally through said portions connecting the saine and forming a passageway from the bowl to the stem, substantially as described.

4. A pipe comprising a bowl. and contiguous. stem portion each formed of a separate corn cob and suitably connected, a reed v forming a passage connecting the neck and stem portion and aJ cleaner arranged within said reed as and for the purpose set forth.

5. A pipe comprising a bowl and a contiguous stem portion each formed of a corn cob and connected together at their lower ends by a reed, said reed extending through the neck and into said bowl and a trough like cleaner arranged in the reed, and having a tongue at its outer end for removing the same, substantially as described 6. A pipe comprising a bowl and contiguous stemportion formed of corn cobs ci different sizes connected together by glue and by a reed which extends out through the stem portion, said reed being provided with openings communicating with the duct of the stem portion and bowlr a cleaner arranged in said reed formed of a tube having a. closed, end and a trough like portion, said trough like portion normally lying under the openings in the reed and a tongue formed on the outer end of the cleaner for withdrawing the. same, substantially as described.

ln testimony whereof I have signed my name to this speeiiication in the presence of' two subscribing witnesses,l
