" JAMES A. IRVING, or NEW YORK, N. Y.

I i .ijAppl ication filed March 80, 1905. Serial No. 486,696.

. citizen of the United States, and a resident of New York, county-and State of New 5 York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tobacco-Pipes, of which the following is av full, clear, and exact desoription.

to tobacco pipes in which the tobaccois held in a substantiallyclosedclramber or receptacle.

The primary object of. the invention is to provide a simple and eflicient pipe or device of the bowl member, except-as to mlet for. the air, thus producing a pipe which may I have the tobacco entirelyprotected from the wind or elements when used out of doors, and which is entirely safe as regards' fire, for the reason .tha'tthe tobacco cannot come vin contact with anyobiect and may therefore be convenient y p aced in the pocket or other-place without putting .the light out.

Another .object, of the invention is to provide means whereby the smoke, may be properly cooled and purified so as to; remove all heat, dust andmoisture from .thesmoke, thus .preventing the tongue from being burned or the throat of the smoker becommg dry and sore, and also removing the poisonous mcotine which veryoften produces injurious-results, and at the same time affording much reater comfort and pleasure in smoking than is obtained from the usual pi eor similar article as ordinarilyconstructe A further objectof the invention is to provide apipe. which is'convenient to handle, and which maybe readily and properly cleaned, and which is entirelyfree; of screws and like parts which .are" to become vlost.

A still-further object the invention is to provide a pi e which iss'attract'iveimappear .ance, and 1W ich maybe made to correspond .to the general form and'appearance o the ,--usua1'p1pe, and in whichthe'pipeis so con-- Sl31'110t9d tha'tthe remake; maybe 1 caused. to

,; .passin-'.-.contact. and thronghor' about a cool- Llhis invention relates more particularly ing and purifying medium which is so su' ported and held within the pipe .thatt e same may be readily removed as wellas the bowl part to-adapt the same to be readily cleaned or a new medium or device inserted in place of the old.

With these andother objects in View, the invention will be hereinafter more. particularly described with reference to the accomspeclflcationot LettersPatent. PatentedNov, 23, 1909, p

panying drawings which form a part of the specification,- and will then be pointed out in the claims at the end of the description.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is an enlarged vertical section, partly in elevation, of one form of pipe or device embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a transverse section taken on the lineILI-ll of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a transverse section similar to Fig. 2, showing how the bowl part or member for the tobacco may be moved on its pivot to one side for lighting or chargin purposes. Fig. 4 is a detail end viewlzo plates. Fig. 5. shows a slightly different form of pipe iniwhich the stem is movable to adapt the stem to occupy lessspace when not in use. Fig. 6 shows the general appearance of the pipe when provided with a straight stem instead' of a curved one as in Fig. 1; and Fig. Tshows a difierent form of cartridge or -device which may be placed in the pipe.

' The pipe. or device has-two relatively mov able parts or members 10. and 11,- the former of which serves asthe-bowl member,-and is providedwith a receptacle or-chamberv12 in which is'adaptedpto 'beplaced the tobacco.

The stemmember -'11- is provided" with an outer or open end ofthe tobacco chamber.- 12, andsaid memberil l-smay' have the usual or any preferred formpf [stem 13 attached .to

enlarged part ll zwhich serves to close theor connected therewith,-z.andzfittinglsaid'stem i and serving-as a ivotfforthepart or member 10 is a metallic .thimble, sleeve-or device 14. This device m'ay :be'of aluminum or other material; andsmay be tubular, and is threaded at one end, as at 15, so 'as-tofit a threaded opening the member 11, and has.-its othemend. slightly or-lotherwise tapered, as at 16, to. fit into a; similarly formed ioo hole, or opening 17, whereby "themember 10 I may be moved on theend 16 with the.lat- I ter as a..pivot,- as sho'wnbest .m' Fig. 3,,qto

-.adapt, the chamber 12 to be.filledwith tobaccd. and.[. '.the. tobacco lighted gand then movedlrelativelytothe=member .11-;sowas.=to I close the outer open end of the chamber 12 as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. As will be seen the chamber 12 is normally located in a substantially horizontal position so that the pressure of the tobacco will not have a tendency to put out the lighted part, and the pipe when thus constructed and arranged will more nearly conformto the general appearance of the ordinary form of pipe than if the chamber were located to extend vertically.

The bowl of the pipe is formed of the enlarged part 11 and the member 10, and is substantially oval shap ed in cross section. The member'i'f'may be provided with a plate 18 which may have a dished or concaved part 19 to correspond with a similar recess or part in the stem member 11, and passing through said plate'and'the enlarged part 11 of the member 11 are one or more openings 20, which serve as inlets for the air to supply the proper amount thereof to the tobacco for smoking purposes, and said plate 18 serves to ,protect the face of the member 11, and is adapted to abut against a plate 21 secured to the face of the member 10. The plates 18 and 21 may be of aluminum and either or both of the same may be dispensed with if desired, and the plate 18 is preferably used 'to prevent'the lighted part of the tobacco from burning or injuring the face or'concaved part of the member 11.

An outlet opening 22 is located at rear of the chambers 12, and communicates with the chamber 23 leading to the tubular sleeve of templet 14, and this chamber serves to collect any moisture or other injurious elements resulting from the smoke, and said chamber may be readily cleaned at any time by detaching the member 10 from the member 11 which can be easily done owing to the member 10 being'heldto the member 11 simply by the tapering part or outer end of the. normally fixed pivoting device 14.

A cartridge 24 is adapted to fit within the tubular part of the sleeve or device 14, and said cartridge may be of any desired length or material, and of any desired form. As shown it has a cylindrical body, and this body may be composed simply, of fibrous material, as a lam wick, which is of such a nature or from w ich several strands have 'been removed to adapt the same to permit throu h the stem 13 as usual. ,The outer end 0 the sleeve 14 may be slotted, as at 26, so that when the member 10 is detached from the member 11 a-- pin or other devie may be used to remove the cartridge 24 f r the one removed.

cleaning purposes or for placing another in the tubular pivoting device 14 in place of v The parts as thus constructed to permit the passages and the chamber for the tobacco to be readily made, and the smoke instead of simply coming in contact with one end of the cartridge, is made to pass through or about the same the entire length thereof, so that the tobacco smoke may be purified, filtered and cooled before it reaches the mouth.

In Fig. 5, the construction of the two members 27 and 28 are substantially the same as in Fig. 1, and instead of the stem being fixed to the member 11 it has a part 29 which is pivotally held in the end of the member 28, and has its stem portion 30 arranged substantially horizontal so as to be swung to the position shown in dotted lines at 31 'when'not in use, for the purpose of economy in space for placing thepipe in the pocket or for other purposes.

. Fig. 6 is substantially the same as Fig. 1,

except that the stem 32 instead of being curved is substantially straight and in line with the pivoting point of the member 10.

The cartridge for purifying, filtering or otherwise acting on the smoke may be of the character ordinarily employed for this purpose, such as having a body, as 33, Fig 7, formed of vegetable pith thrtiugh which may be an opening 34 for the passage of the smoke, or the said cartridge may be made of a strip of paper rolled upon itself and pr0- vided with a central opening for the passage of the smoke as is usual in cartridges of this character. The cartridge may be of such a nature as to properly filter as well as cool and absorb saliva or any moisture in the smoke, and is located in the metal sleeve of device 14 which forms the pivot for the bowl member 10, so that said cartridge may be readily removed or replaced.

From the foregoingit will be seen that a simple and eflicient pipe is provided in which the tobacco is held in a substantially closed receptacle thereby making the same entirely free of the liability to cause fire, as the tobacco is entirely protected while lighted from coming in contact with any body other'than the pipe, and which permits the pipe to be placed in the pocket while lighted; that a pipe constructed in the manner shown will be compact and attractive, and have the general appearance of the usual form of pipe; that the smoke may be made to pass through or about a body in order that the same may be cooled and purified before reaching the mouth of the smoker; that all moisture and impurities may be removed from the smoke; that the parts are easy of access and may be detachably held together for cleaning or for other purposes; that by arranging the chamber containing the tobacco in the manner shown,

" i ber adapted to close the the. li hted part will not be subject a the,
