The specific embodiment

Be the basic profile of utensil described in Fig. 1.It has mouth portion or mouth piece 1, the cylinder-shaped body 2 of hollow or tubulose, and the distal end cap 3 that allows the air admission utensil.Usually, this utensil is thicker and longer than cigarette, but than big cigar thinner and short.

In Fig. 2, when not having air-flow to be inhaled utensil, the powder 17 that adds flavor is limited in throw-out collar 16, interior pipe 13, outer tube 14, Xiamen 25 and to the doorstep in the zone between 18.When the user was air-breathing, air 11 flowed into utensil by distal end filter 3.The passage 23 of pipe 13 and Xiamen 25 was towards calling 18 in air flow through then.Arrive to the doorstep at air before 18 the passage 24, air flows through the zone of containing the powder 17 that adds flavor.Air is taken away a certain amount of powder, becomes two things then and flows mutually, flows through 18 passage 24 to the doorstep.Two things flow 21 mutually by the passage 20 in mouth piece 19, enter in the mouth by bevelled passage 27 at last.

When air passes Xiamen 25 and the zone between 18 and when taking away the powder that adds flavor, with the compression spring 15 that acts on ring 16 and the powder 17, other powder is provided to this zone continuously to the doorstep.

Bevelled passage 27 in the exit of mouth piece 19 guides two things to flow mutually with an angle, selects this angle so that at user's the powder of distribution in the mouth, and avoids powder to enter in the pharynx.Powder will clash into user's tongue, maxilla and other are coated with the surface of saliva usually, and can further not be delivered to pharynx place.

Fig. 3 has illustrated the structure of mouth piece 9 further.Depend on channel diameter and mouth piece diameter, the quantity of bevelled passage 27 can change to any a plurality of number from one.Minimum channel diameter is subjected to the restriction of any trend of powder passage 27.The section shape of passage can be according to changing such as the various objectives that adapts to different manufacturing processs.

Be Xiamen 25 or 18 structure to the doorstep described in Fig. 4.Door needs not to be identical size, and it can preferably make to the doorstep 18 passage 24 big, holds two things when being taken away by air with convenient powder and flows mutually.

Fig. 5 has illustrated the result of test, and the result shows that flowing out bevelled passage 27 enters the flow pattern that user's two things in the mouth flow mutually.Two things flow mutually clearly as transmit widely from mouth piece 19 wanting.

Fig. 6 has illustrated the utensil that comprises duckbill check valve 36.In the space in powder 17 is included between pipe 35, push pedal 34 and the duckbill check valve 36.Compression spring 32 constantly orders about powder 17 and flows to duckbill check valve 36.Do not have when air-breathing, though spring 32 is pushed powder 17 to duckbill check valve 36 openings 39, the friction between the friction between the powder particle and powder and duckbill check valve prevents that powder from flowing out the opening 39 of duckbill check valve.

When air was inhaled into by filter or distal end cap 31, windstream 46 was by the space 33 between interior pipe 35 and outer tube 42.In the inrush of air ditch 41, enter duckbill check valve 36 then, be carried at the powder 17 in the space 43, flow to opening 39.Outflow opening 39, two thing phase powder and air communication are crossed the passage 27 in mouth piece 19, flow out label 21 places then, enter the user in the mouth.

Illustrated in fig. 7 be the 3rd embodiment of utensil, wherein air is inhaled into by filter or distal end cap 59, enters the space 56 in the pipe 53 that contains compression spring 57 then.Compression spring 57 acts on the spring plate 55 that comprises aerated materials, and this spring plate allows that air passes through, but does not allow that powder 17 enters space 56.Powder 17 has enough particle size, flows through the there so that allow air, and take away some powder in zone 52.Along with on particulate, two things flow mutually in the passage 51 of mouth piece 19 and to occur, two things flow mutually as shown at label 21 and enter in the mouth then.When using powder 17, spring 57 continuous press-powder ends 17 are so that repeatedly be that enough powder are supplied with in zone 52.

Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 explanation comprise the 4th embodiment that previous device is revised.When air-breathing, air 81 is by filter or distal end cap 69 and pass through annular filter 72 inflows.Enter the space 66 that also comprises spring 67 by filter 69 suction airs.Air is taken away the powder in zone 60 continuously by powder 17, and two things that are formed in the passage 61 of mouth piece 62 flow mutually.Annular filter 72 in pipe sidewall 63 leads to a plurality of grooves 71 between powder 17 and mouth piece 62.Take away other powder by other windstream of groove 71 and flow mixing mutually with two things in the passage 61.Two things flow mutually at label 21 places outflow mouth piece 62.Further selectable modification comprises atresia spring plate 65, and the atresia spring plate forces all indrafts by filter 72 and groove 71.

Illustrated in fig. 10 be spiral core, spiral core is based on such design, in this design, eliminated spring, and spiral core location in pipe 89.Powder loosely in spiral core 86 is placed.When air-breathing, air 88 is by filter 87, then by powder and spiral core 86.When air passed through spiral core 86 and powder, a part of powder was pulled away, and produced two things that enter the passage 83 in mouth piece 82 and flowed mutually.Spiral core 86 produces circulating currents, and when air-breathing, this air-flow is finally taken away whole powder when continuous.Two things flow mutually as indicating at label 81 places and flow out mouth piece 82 then.Annular filter 84 allow extra air be adjusted in the passage 83 air and with on powder between mixture ratio.

Spiral core 86 has reduced such possibility, and promptly powder falls down and integrator when utensil is vertically controlled.The pitch of spiral core 86 should diminish, so that the control powder.At sucting stage, utensil when packing, transportation or storage, probably is vertical still most possibly near level.

In the mouth piece 82 that uses in Figure 10, two things flow mutually from very leaving mouth piece near the position at mouth piece edge.Because people's mouth is because saliva is often wet, the outlet of mouth piece may be blocked by the compound of saliva and powder particle.For fear of such obstruction, by outlet being positioned at more close mouth piece line of centers but keep the mode of exit angle to revise mouth piece 82.

As shown in Figure 11,90 liang of thing phases of amended mouth piece circulation road 97 leads to two passage aisles 91, near the opening 94 and 95 of this two passage aisle label 92 places bend towards the mouth piece line of centers.Two things flow 93 mutually and therefore enter in the mouth near the mouth piece line of centers.Figure 12 has illustrated mouth piece 90 on the utensil that is installed in Figure 10, amended.

In Figure 13 and Figure 14, the spiral core 100 of Figure 10 and Figure 12 is modified to attached to the structure that resembles spring on the mouth piece 101.Spiral core 100 can loosely be installed in 102 at pipe, at label 103 places in abutting connection with far-end 105.By pushing mouth piece 101, spiral core 100 can be compressed and discharge so that stir the powder space 104 in, eliminate whereby may appearance because precipitate for a long time the sinking and stop up of powder.

In Figure 15 and the 6th embodiment shown in Figure 16, filter 136 is positioned at the entrance of mouth piece 101, outside pipe 102 and core body 100.By adjusting the size in hole 138, can be controlled at the ratio of the powder particle of two things in flowing mutually.In addition, the shape in hole 138 also influences the performance that two things flow mutually.For example, as shown in figure 16, the hole can be a circle 140, circular hole 139 pentagon 141 or triangle 142 and different size.

Be the 7th embodiment of utensil described in Figure 17 and Figure 18, wherein in pipe 111 with respect to outer tube 112 axial location, circular clearance 106 is provided whereby.In the pipe 111, interior pipe racks had the hole 118 of leading to circular clearance 106 in powder 105 was placed on.Powder 105 is easy to flow through hole 118 and enters in the gap 106, shown in label 110.When the user was air-breathing, air-flow 107 entered far-end 87, and label 108 places that flow through by gap 106, take away powder 110, form two things and flow 109 mutually.Then, two things flow to incoming interface pipe 113 mutually, flow out by passage 116.

Interior pipe comprise cover 114 and the lid 115, as shown in figure 18, be formed with the tab 120 that allows to lead to circular clearance 106.

In Figure 19 shown in the label 130 is the another kind of modification of mouth piece.Mouth piece 130 through revising is normally oval-shaped, and when the user stood or sit up normal the use, major axis was a level, and minor axis is vertical.When mouth piece was installed on the pipe 112 rightly, as shown in figure 20, delegation hole 118 faced down, and allowed that powder 105 utilizes gravity to flow out interior pipe 111, enters circular clearance 106.As mentioned above, air becomes two things and flows 109 and flow out mouth piece at label 131 places mutually in circular clearance 106.

Hole 118 in the interior pipe 111 of the 7th embodiment must be sealed in transportation before using and storing process.Described in Figure 21 be in the end cap through revising or have inserts pipe 111 so that seal the filter of the solid-end 156 of pipe end.When using, air flows through groove 151 from covering 150 interior cave 154, enters the circular clearance 106 between interior pipe 111 and outer tube 112.

Figure 22 A has shown the structure that is used for the sealing band 140 in the hole 118 of pipe 111 in the shutoff.Sealing band is preferably with paper and does, and has near the line with holes 145 at sealing band center and line 146 with holes.The wiggle that this two

line

145 and 146 with holes is provided convenience is so that bend to shape shown in Figure 22 B to sealing band.End 141 and terminal 143 near sealing band 147 has two lines with

holes

142 and 144 in addition, is used for firmly separating terminal.Sealing band 140 bent to shape 147 before assembly opening 118.

Figure 23 A explanation sealing band 147 in utensil, this sealing band are between interior pipe 111 and outer tube 112, so that seal bore 118 and prevent that powder from bleeding in the circular clearance 106.Figure 23 B has illustrated the sealing band 147 that is wrapped on the distal end cap 150.Sealing band is matched with the notch 153 and 158 in end cap 150.When the user caught the centre portion 148 of sealing band, notch 153 and 158 allowed that sealing band 147 end wises slide.

As Figure 24 and shown in Figure 25, the user pulls out sealing band 147, hole 118 in interior pipe 111 is exposed and removes the cover of powder, allows that whereby a part of powder flows into circular groove 106.Because two sealed ends 141 and 143 are greater than the notch in the end cap in Figure 21 150 153 and 158, their impassabitity notches.Correspondingly, sealing band is in line with holes 142 and the fracture of 144 places, and remaining

terminal

141 and 143 get lodged in notch 153 and 158, prevent that powder from passing through notch 153 and 158.
