Description

  The present invention relates to a passive smoking mitigation pipe in consideration of the influence on the surroundings.

Recently, not only the impact on the health of those who prefer tobacco, but also the impact on the health of second-hand smoke from other people smoked, has become a major issue. For me, I have been forced to have a very narrow shoulder.

Therefore, in the old days there were many pipes intended to reduce or remove nicotine and tar ingested by beloved smokers. Recently, smoking as described in JP-A-7-274926 and JP-A-9-75058 Many smoking devices have been developed that take into account the effects on people other than the elderly.

However, in the former, smoke after smoked is passed through the activated carbon layer with an electric fan to eliminate smoke and no bromide, but activated carbon is effective in removing nicotine and tar, but mercury, lead, arsenic and cadmium. Since it is not effective in removing harmful minerals such as aluminum, it has been difficult to sufficiently reduce the effects of passive smoking on the surroundings.

In addition, the latter is the one that electrically boiles the nicotine liquid and sucks the vapor, so there is no concern about the effects of tar and harmful minerals, but in addition to the problem that the battery is exhausted in a short period of time, leakage Although it has a preventive structure, it was not satisfactory because nicotine liquid might leak from the mouth when a shock was applied.

  In addition, products that encourage smoking cessation recently include nicotine-containing gum that chews instead of smoking when tobacco smokes, and tobacco-like smoking pipes that suck other aromatic components. However, there are currently no smoking devices that satisfy the taste of beloved smokers and consider passive smoking in the surrounding area.

Thus, recently, humic acid has attracted attention as a substance having an action (detox action) of discharging odor molecules and harmful minerals in addition to the action of adsorbing them (chelate action). Humic acid is a natural substance derived from plants and animals. In Japan, it is called humic acid, but it has the property of binding to metal elements (chelating property) and the property of eliminating it (detoxing property), so industrial wastewater. It is also used as an ion exchange resin that removes toxic substances, supplements for humans and animals, and as a material for generating healthy water.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-274926 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-75058

  Therefore, by using the above-mentioned humic acid, the smokers are given a depth and taste that is almost inferior to smoking cigarettes, while the odor contained in sidestream smoke is not only nicotine and tar. The passive smoking reducing pipe according to the present invention has been developed as a smoking device that can significantly reduce harmful minerals such as mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium, and aluminum.

  The present invention proposes the following passive smoking reduction pipe as a specific means for solving the above problems.

First, the invention according to claim 1 is a passive smoking reducing pipe in consideration of the influence on the surroundings, and (1) an exterior material and an interior material each having a plurality of ventilation holes, and (2) the exterior A humic acid filter built in between the material and the interior material, (3) a hollow portion for inserting tobacco formed by the interior material, and (3) a cartridge in which at least the humic acid filter is built in And (4) a passive smoking-reducing pipe, characterized in that it is composed of a xell portion that houses the cartridge so as to be located between the cigarette holder and the mouthpiece.

Next, the invention according to claim 2 is the passive smoking reducing pipe according to claim 1, wherein the humic acid filter is sandwiched between fireproof and heat insulating sheets. .

The invention according to claim 3 is the passive smoking reducing pipe according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the hollow portion is provided with a coiled cigarette storage case. Smoking reduction pipe.

  The following effects can be expected from the passive smoking reducing pipe according to the present invention.

First, in the present invention, by incorporating a humic acid filter between the exterior material and the interior material, not only the odor generated from the sidestream smoke can be reduced by 80%, but also nicotine and tar contained in the sidestream smoke. It has become possible to reduce harmful minerals such as mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium, and aluminum by 60%.

Further, in the present invention, the humic acid filter is also incorporated in the cartridge housed in the xel portion, so that odors and harmful substances generated from the mainstream smoke sucked by the smoker can be greatly reduced. Moreover, in the present invention, unlike the conventional pipe using pseudo tobacco, real tobacco is used, so that the depth and taste of tobacco are not impaired.

Further, in the present invention, by sandwiching the upper and lower sides of the humic acid filter with a fireproof heat insulating sheet, the effect of humic acid is left unchanged, and the humic acid is ignited / burned by the fire of tobacco, or to the exterior material. Heat conduction can be suppressed.

In addition, by providing a coil-shaped cigarette storage case in the hollow portion formed by the interior material, tobacco is inserted into the interior, so even when it comes into contact with tobacco, the contact area with the tip of the lit tobacco Because it is small, it can prevent the cigarette fire from extinguishing during smoking.

Furthermore, in the present invention, the tobacco to be smoked is inserted into the hollow portion in the pipe body, and both the tobacco ash generated during smoking and the cigarette butts after smoking are accommodated in the pipe body, Does not pollute the surrounding environment.

In addition, when walking with a cigarette with fire in hand, there are often accidents where it touches the clothes and burns, or touches the child's face and burns. As described above, the lit cigarette is burned in the pipe and is not exposed to the outside, so that such an accident can be prevented.

Configuration of Passive Smoking Mitigation Pipe According to the Present Invention First, with respect to the appearance of the passive smoking mitigation pipe according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, the pipe body 1 is composed of an exterior material 2 and a xel portion 3. In the illustrated embodiment, the exterior material 2 has a cylindrical shape, and the exterior material 2 and the detachable xel portion 3 are attached to one end thereof. The attachment of the xel portion 3 to the exterior material 2 may be an insertion type, a screw type, or other methods. In addition, the other end of the exterior material 2 on the opposite side from the mounting of the xell portion 3 is covered with the same member as the exterior material 2 as shown in FIG.

As long as the exterior material 2 is formed with a plurality of ventilation holes and has a certain degree of heat resistance, the material and shape thereof are not limited. In view of this, and in order to improve the appearance aesthetics, it is desirable to use a cylindrical punch metal in which a plurality of holes to be vent holes are formed. The interior member 4 is also made of the same member as the exterior member 2 described above. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the exterior material 2 has small ventilation holes formed on the entire surface, but the number and positions of the ventilation holes are not limited to those shown. The same applies to the interior material 4.

Next, about the internal structure of the pipe main body 1, the side wall of the hollow part 6 for inserting a tobacco by the interior material 4 is formed as shown in FIG. That is, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, a small-diameter columnar interior material 4 also made of punch metal is provided inside the columnar exterior material 2 made of punch metal, and is formed by the interior material 4. The formed cylindrical internal space corresponds to the hollow portion 6.

Thus, the humic acid filter 5 is built in the space formed between the exterior material 2 and the interior material 4 by the small-diameter interior material 4 provided inside the exterior material 2. As shown in FIG. 2, the humic acid filter 5 is disposed so as to cover the entire surface of the interior material 4 forming the hollow portion 6 so that the sidestream smoke generated when the cigarette is smoked is always in contact with the humic acid filter 5. Has been.

In addition, when the humic acid filter 5 is directly incorporated between the exterior material 2 and the interior material 4, the humic acid filter may be ignited and burned by the heat of the tip 14 of the lit cigarette 13, Since the heat of the tobacco is conducted to the exterior material 2 and the user may be burned, it is desirable to sandwich the humic acid filter 5 between the fireproof and heat insulating sheets 9. FIG. 7 shows an embodiment in that case, and it is only necessary to sandwich a humic acid filter between two fireproof and heat insulating sheets.

The humic acid filter is briefly explained here. Humic acid is a natural substance derived from animals and plants. In Japan, it is called humic acid, but it binds to metal elements (chelate) and excludes it (detox). Therefore, it is also used as an ion exchange resin for removing toxic substances from industrial wastewater, supplements for humans and animals, and health water. Ingesting these supplements and healthy water adsorbs odorous molecules in the body (chelates), so that deodorizing action that reduces odor of stool and urine is obtained, and harmful substances in the body are also adsorbed and eliminated. Therefore, it is said that it can contribute to health maintenance.

Therefore, the inventor of the present invention pays attention to the chelating action of humic acid, and by adopting humic acid as a filter material, the sidestream smoke generated when smoking the cigarette surely passes through the humic acid filter. It was made to discharge outside the pipe body. As a result, nicotine and tar contained in cigarette smoke, as well as harmful minerals (toxic metals) such as mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium, and aluminum are adsorbed by the humic acid filter. The effect of tobacco odor and harmful substances can be greatly reduced.

In addition, the hollow part 6 formed by the interior material 4 may further be provided with a cigarette storage case 10 for stably storing cigarettes inside as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, the cigarette storage case made into the coil shape is mentioned. That is, when the side wall of the cigarette storage case 10 has a planar shape, when the cigarette comes into contact with the cigarette storage case, the tip 14 of the ignited cigarette 13 comes into surface contact and takes heat away. However, by making this a coil shape, the contact with the tip 14 of the lit cigarette becomes a point contact, so heat is not taken away so that the fire disappears. As will be described later, since the cigarette is usually held by the holder, it is unlikely to come into contact with the inner wall of the interior material 4 forming the hollow portion 6 or the side wall of the cigarette storage case 10, but the cigarette is inserted into the holder. Is insufficient, the cigarette is inserted into the hollow portion 6 or the cigarette storage case 10 in a tilted state, and the tip portion 14 of the lit cigarette may come into contact with the side walls thereof. In such a case, a coil-shaped cigarette storage case is provided, and even if it comes into contact with the tip 14 of the cigarette by inserting the cigarette inside it, the heat is taken out and the fire is extinguished. Can be prevented.

Next, as described above, the xell portion 3 is detachably attached to one end of the exterior material 2, but the material and shape thereof are not limited to those illustrated. However, considering that a human gets into the mouth, at least the mouthpiece 11 is preferably a cylindrical or flat plate having a smaller diameter than the exterior material 2 and is preferably a plastic material that does not feel cold. . Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a holder 12 for holding the cigarette 13 in the direction opposite to the mouthpiece 11 is provided in the xell portion 3. The cigarette holding means can take various forms and is not limited to the illustrated one.

Next, with respect to the internal structure of the xel part 3, the body part of the xel part 3 is hollow, and a cartridge 7 as shown in FIG. 3 is accommodated. In the planned embodiment, the body portion of the above-described xel portion 3 is of an open / close type, so that an old cartridge that has been fully used can be replaced with a new cartridge.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, the cartridge 7 accommodated in the xell portion 3 contains at least a humic acid filter 8 therein. In the illustrated embodiment, a general type filter such as activated carbon is incorporated in addition to the humic acid filter, and a combination of the humic acid filter and another filter is also planned.

The humic acid filter 8 incorporated in the cartridge 7 is not directly affected by the fire of cigarettes, so it may be incorporated in the cartridge as it is, but it is incorporated between the exterior material 2 and the interior material 4. Like the humic acid filter 5, it may be sandwiched between refractory heat insulating sheets.
Usage of the smoke relief pipe according to the present invention will be described a case of smoke with a smoke relief pipe according to the present invention.

  First, the user removes the xels 3 from the exterior material 2 of the pipe body 1. As described above, the xels portion 3 may be inserted or screwed. Next, the desired cigarette 13 is inserted into the holder 12 and held.

  Prior to this, a cartridge 7 containing a humic acid filter or both of this and a general filter is housed inside the xell portion 3. Incidentally, although it is possible to smoke even when the cartridge 7 is not stored, it is desirable to store the cartridge for the health of the user.

When the holding of the cigarette 13 in the holder 12 is completed, the user then holds the mouthpiece 11 in his mouth and ignites the tip 14 of the cigarette 13 with a lighter or match. When the fire is lit, next, as shown in FIG. 6, the xels 3 are attached to the exterior material 2 while the holder 12 holds the lit cigarette 13. In addition, when a xellel part is a plug-in type, it is desirable to provide the fixed receptacle 16 so that connection with the exterior material 2 can be performed reliably.

In addition, when attaching the xell part 3, as shown in FIG. 6, since the coil-shaped tobacco storage case 10 is provided in the hollow part 6, a tobacco will be penetrated in the inside of the coil. Since the cigarette storage case 10 has a coil shape, the contact with the cigarette 13 becomes a point contact, so even if it comes into contact with the lit cigarette tip 14, the heat is not removed and the fire is not extinguished. .

Thus, when the attachment of the xels 3 is completed, the user can hold the mouthpiece 11 and smoke. The mainstream smoke sucked by the user by smoking enters the mouth via the cartridge 7 accommodated in the xels portion 3, and at that time, odors and harmful substances are removed by the humic acid filter built in the cartridge 7. , Adverse health effects are reduced.

In addition, the sidestream smoke generated by smoking is discharged into the air from the plurality of ventilation holes formed in the exterior material 2 through the plurality of ventilation holes formed in the interior material 4. Because it comes in contact with the humic acid filter 5 built in between the interior material 4 and the interior material 4, it removes harmful substances such as tobacco odor, nicotine, tar, mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium, aluminum, etc. The adverse health effects of people who smoke passively are greatly reduced. Incidentally, in the experiment by the inventor, the tobacco odor was reduced by 80% and the harmful substances were reduced by 60%. The humic acid filter 5 is sandwiched between the fireproof and heat insulating sheets 9, and the heat of the cigarette is not transmitted to the exterior material 2, so that the user can smoke without worrying about burns.

  When the smoking is completed, the xel portion 3 is removed from the exterior material 2 again, the cigarette butt of the cigarette 13 that has been sucked is extracted from the holder 12, and the ash of the cigarette that has fallen into the hollow portion 6 is taken out and discarded together. In this way, the passive smoking mitigation pipe according to the present invention can reduce adverse effects on the surroundings due to passive smoking, and cigarette butts and ash are also housed in the pipe and can be discarded after smoking, thus preventing environmental pollution of the surroundings. Can also help.

  In addition, fired cigarettes that smokers have in their hands often touch other people's clothes to puncture them, or touch the child's face to cause burns. In the passive smoking reducing pipe according to the present invention, tobacco burns in a state of being accommodated inside the pipe body 1 and is not exposed to the outside, and thus can contribute to prevention of such an accident.

  The present invention is a passive smoking reducing pipe for reducing adverse health effects on the surroundings by passively smoking sidestream smoke generated when smoking tobacco, and can be used for all types of tobacco. .
