=== Ejecto Grate ===
[[File:YelloBole-EjectoGrate-4.jpeg|thumb|Ejecto Grate, courtesy Jack Ritter]]The Yello-Bole, Ejecto Grate sports a metal plate with 8 holes in it.  In answer to an E-mail inquirey by Jack Ritter, Bill Feuerbach of S.M. Frank writes that he believes a patent was applied for, and they made some pipes for sale, but thinks either the patent was not approved, or they felt that the interest was too low. At any rate, they did not pursue the design.
<blockquote>"The pipe you’re asking about is a Yello-Bole Ejecto Grate.  Unfortunately I don’t have much information on this pipe. The only examples I’ve found on line all say patent pending, so maybe a patent wasn’t issued. My guess is this is a pipe from the late 30’s-late 40’s.  The metal vent on the bottom of the bowl is like those found on the Carburetor line." ''Bill Feuerbach, [[S.M. Frank]]'' </blockquote>
