Abstract

A smoking pipe including a liquid-accommodating chamber, a projecting mouthpiece extending from an upper portion thereof, a pipette or tube extending vertically downwardly into the chamber to a point above the bottom thereof, a smoking material-receiving bowl at the top of the pipette having a lower orifice directly communicating therewith and the chamber having at least one finger controlled orifice therein communicating with an upper portion of the chamber above the level of liquid therein.

Claims

1. A smoking pipe having a portion adapted to contain a liquid through which smoke can be drawn, said pipe including means defining a liquid-receiving chamber having a bottom, a projecting mouthpiece connected to and extending from an upper portion of said chamber and directly and uninterruptedly communicating therewith, a tube means connected to said chamber in spaced relation to said mouthpiece and including a first portion above said chamber and another portion extending vertically downwardly into said chamber in sealing relation therewith and terminating at a point above the bottom thereof, a vertically disposed smoking material-receiving bowl having a lower outlet orifice directly and uninterruptedly communicating with the first portion of said tube means and said chamber having at least one finger controllable atmospheric air-admitting orifice means spaced from said mouthpiece and tube means, located at and communicating with the interior of an upper portion of said chamber.

2. A smoking pipe as claimed in claim 1, in which the means defining said liquid-receiving chamber comprises a rounded body having a flat bottom and said projecting mouthpiece being integral with said body and having an outwardly flared end of a size sufficient to encompass the user'"'"''"'"'s lips during inhalation.

3. A smoking pipe as claimed in claim 2 and said rounded body having an opening disposed centrally at the top thereof, a stopper or resilient material for sealing said opening, said stopper having a bore therethrough, said tube means extending through said bore in sealing relation therewith and said smoking material-receiving bowl being integral with said tube means.

4. A smoking pipe as claimed in claim 3 and said finger controlled orifice means including a second resilient material stopper having at least one bore extending therethrough, said body having a second opening therein at an upper portion thereof and said second stopper being removably disposed within said second opening in sealing relation therewith.

5. A smoking pipe as claimed in claim 4 and the first portion of said tube means having a restricted bore portion directly beneath and communicating with the lower outlet orifice of said bowl.

6. A smoking pipe as claimed in claim 5, and said second opening being selected the side of the vertical axis of said first opening opposite the location of said projecting mouthpiece.

7. A smoking pipe as claimed in claim 6, in which the axis of said projecting mouthpiece and the axes of said first and second openings lie in a common vertical plane.

8. A smoking pipe as claimed in claim 1, in which said liquid-accommodating chamber has an opening therein at an upper portion thereof, said finger controlled orifice means including a stopper of resilient material having at least one bore therethrough and said stopper being removably disposed within said opening in sealing relation therewith.

9. A smoking pipe as claimed in claim 8, in which said liquid-accommodating chamber is of heat resistant material and said projecting mouthpiece being integral with said chamber.

10. A smoking pipe as claimed in claim 8, and said smoking material receiving bowl being of conical configuration to facilitate entry of smoking material into said tube means.
