NI'TED STATES EGERTON. HAMILTON FARLEY, OF HAMILTON, CANADA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO FRANK R. NEWBERRY, OF SAME PLACE.

MOUTHPIECE ATTACHMENT FOR TOBACCO-PIPES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 601,373, dated March 29, 1898.

Application filed January 27,1897. Serial No. 620,889. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, EGERTON HAMILTON FARLEY, commercial traveler, a citizen of the Dominion of Canada, residing at Hamilton, in the county of Ventworth, in the Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented a certain new and useful Mouthpiece Attachment for Tobacco-Pipes; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same.

The invention relates to a very handy and convenient attachment to the mouthpiece of tobacco-pipes for the purpose of preventing the smoke as it enters the mouth of the smoker from burning or biting the tongue during the act of smoking, as is commonly the case.- It will also prevent small particles of tobacco,

&c.,from getting into the mouth of the smoker,

and, further, the head of. the attachment will be provided with an absorbent material to prevent nicotine from entering the mouth and render the smoke free from injurious matter.

The invention consists in a head formed oval convexo-concave and having attached thereto three prongs (more or less) about three-quarters of an inch long and of about the thickness of an ordinary small pin, being somewhat flattened where secured to the head. These prongs are inserted into the mouthpiece of a pipe, and the head is pushed up close to the outlet, but leaving sufficient space all around it for the smoke to come freely out, but at the same time it is diffused all over the month, not being concentrated at one point. When the smoke does concentrate at one point in the mouth, it is very painful and annoying, and my device will entirely remove all unpleasantness and render, pipe-smoking very agreeable.

By reference to the drawings forming part of this specification it will be seen that Figure 1 represents an ordinary pipe, partly in section. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the attachment detached from the pipe. Fig. 3 is a vertical section through the center of the head. Fig. 4 represents a similar view with the addition of an absorbent material next to the head. Fig. 5 represents the attachment inserted in place in the mouthpiece of a pipe.

In the drawings, A, Fig. 1, representsthe mouthpiece of a pipe.

B, Fig. 2, represents the head of my attachment, constructed oval conveXo-concave in form and about the same size as the end of a mouthpiece, more or less. v

l c c 0, Figs. 2, 3, 4, and 5, represent the three prongs attached by solder or otherwise to the inside of the head 13 and extending about three-quarters of an inch from it, the points diverging outward, as shown.

01, Fig. 4, represents a material of an absorbent nature secured in the hollow inside portion of the head in any manner that will be most convenient and at the same time kept firmly in place, but easily removable to be replaced with a fresh piece of absorbent when required. By means of this absorbent material in the cavity of the head nicotine or small particles of tobacco are prevented from ontering the mouth of the smoker during the act of smoking.

Fig. 5 shows the attachment in place in the mouthpiece of the pipe, the prongs c c c being inserted in the opening, their ends sprung apart, so as to catch on the interiorof the mouthpiece, and the head with absorbent material on the outside, as shown, leaving sufficient space around and between the head and the end of the pipe to allow the smoke to be diffused all around it.

The attachment, while acting as asmokedifiuser and absorbent of nicotine, also acts as a cleaner of the mouthpiece by twisting the prongs around and withdrawing them, removing any particle of corruption in it.

The said attachment can be made out of any kind of metal, preferably of silver, aluminium, or vulcanized rubber, and the absorbent material to be placed in the cavity of the head may be of any absorbent nature that will absorb the nicotine and suit the purpose, such as medicated blotting-paper or its equivalent.

Having thus described my device and its ad vantages, what I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The concave-convex disk B adapted to fit over the end of a tobacco-pipe mouthpiece and provided with absorbent material 01 in its inner cavity as well as with divergent resilient the smoke which is thereby diffused substanarms 0 extending inward from its center and tially as set forth. adapted to fit the bore of the said mouthpiece Hamilton, Ontario, January 9, 1897.

holding the said disk absorbent material de- EGERTON HAMILTON FARLEY. 5 tachably against the outlet of the said mouth- In presence ofpiece but leaving suificient space all around W. BRUCE,

the said disk or head to allow the escape of GEO. MORTON.
