Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to smoke (sidestream smoke) rising directly from the tip of a cigarette lit for smoking and smoke exhausted from a smoker's mouth (mainstream smoke). ) Is contained in a smoker's surrounding environment so as not to diffuse and is discharged to a smoke exhaust purification device or an outdoor through a smoke exhaust pipe.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Although cigarettes are free to smoke, non-smokers dislike their smell and smoke. Smoking areas are limited or designated as completely non-smoking rooms and smoking is prohibited in the rooms. Furthermore, in trains, buses, and aircraft, all seats have recently been designated as non-smoking seats.
By the way, even when a smoking place is designated, a smoking facility, for example, a vacuum suction facility, is installed in the smoking place to forcibly discharge the smoke and prevent it from spreading to areas other than the smoking place. .

In such a situation, there is no problem if the smoker can stop smoking in the future. However, it is very difficult for smokers to continue smoking. Therefore, smoking cessation for hours to tens of hours becomes unbearable for smokers. Therefore, various air purification devices have been devised to enable smoking. For example, in the cigarette smoke purifying device disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 54-149372, a smoke-absorbing fan connected to a motor is installed in a casing having an appropriate shape having a smoke-absorbing port and a smoke-exhausting port, and smoke is emitted from the smoke-absorbing port. A filter that removes smoking products such as nicotine, tar and carbon monoxide is placed in the route to the mouth. Further, in the smoke evacuator disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-254325, a smoke evacuator main body having a suction device and a purifying unit built-in, and a smoke collector communicating with an intake port of the main body via a smoke evacuating cylinder. The smoke collecting tube is formed of a flexible and flexible flexible hose.

[0004]

However, these devices are intended to discharge smoke from the smoker's mouth once in the atmosphere and collect the discharged smoke. For example, in the former device, the casing is Since it is fixedly placed on a stand or the like, it is necessary to bring the smoker who smoked cigarettes close to this casing to exhaust smoke, and if the face is not sufficiently close to the casing, smoke absorption is insufficient. Was sometimes. The same applies to the latter device.
That is, in these devices, a part of the mainstream smoke, which is the sidestream smoke rising directly from the cigarette and the smoke exhausted from the smoker's mouth, diffuses into the environment near the device and inhales the diffused air. However, sometimes there is a problem that it cannot be completely inhaled and diffuses into the surrounding environment. Therefore, the smoker's mouth was forced to be close enough to the smoke intake port, which forced an unnatural posture. The present invention solves the problems of the conventional devices described above, and provides a device for sealing all smoke during smoking without absolutely diffusing sidestream smoke and mainstream smoke into the surrounding environment. is there.

As shown in FIG. 2, a smoking mask for smoking according to an embodiment of the present invention is a convex mask 1, and the inside of the convex mask 1 is partitioned by a partition wall 2 substantially parallel to the face. ,
The front part partitioned by the partition wall 2 is a combustion chamber 3, and the rear part is a smoking chamber 4. Each material is formed from a non-breathable material. The combustion chamber 3 in the front part of the mask 1 is a part where a tip of a cigarette is ignited and sequentially burned. The rear part of the mask 1 is a base for attaching to the smoker's face. As shown in FIG. 1, when viewed from the back side, it has a substantially triangular shape, and its upper apex side is the smoker's nose bridge side. And a smoking room 4 that covers their periphery. In this embodiment, the shape of the mask 1 is triangular when viewed from the back side, but the shape of the mask 1 is not limited to such a triangular shape, and may be any shape such as a circular shape or an elliptical shape that covers the smoker's mouth and nose and their peripheral edges. Any shape may be used. A soft material such as sponge, soft rubber or felt is provided so that the peripheral portion of the smoking chamber wall 4a, which contacts the smoker's face, softly contacts the contour of the face.
Formed from.

Furthermore, the front surface of the smoking chamber 4 is composed of a partition wall 2 continuous from the side wall thereof. The combustion chamber 3 is formed separately from the partition wall 2 of the smoking chamber 4 so as to be removable. As shown in FIG. 2, the combustion chamber wall 3a is fitted to the outside of the smoking chamber wall 4a beyond the partition wall 2 in front of the smoking chamber 4, and a part of the lower portion of the combustion chamber wall 3a extends rearward to rotate the rotary shaft. It is rotatably attached to the front portion of the smoking chamber wall 4a at 27, while the combustion chamber wall 3a
The combustion chamber 3 is attached by providing a recess inside the upper part of the above and engaging the connecting claw 28 provided at the upper part of the front part of the smoking chamber wall 4a. However, the combustion chamber 3 can be attached to and detached from the smoking chamber 4 by any ordinary means as long as it is detachable.
By separating the combustion chamber 3 in this way, it becomes easy to insert the cigarette 7 and the ash shell 17 described later, and further, the sponge filter 12 is replaced, the smoke exhaust pipe 13 and the blower 19 of another embodiment or The ignition device 16 can be easily managed.

The lower wall of the smoking chamber 4 is provided with an air intake 5 provided with a check valve 6 for sucking clean air outside the mask. The check valve 6 opens automatically only when inhaling outside air,
When smoking smoke is exhaled from the mouth or nostril, it is closed to prevent the smoke from leaking from the air intake port 5. On the front side of the mouth of the partition wall 2, a fitting insertion hole 9 for fitting and gripping the suction portion 8 of the cigarette 7 is opened. Further, in the partition wall 2, the smoke exhaust 10 exhaled from the mouth after smoking is discharged from the smoking chamber 4 to the combustion chamber 3 and the clean air taken into the smoking chamber 4 is burned into the combustion chamber 3
The communication hole 11 for supplying the air is provided, for example, obliquely above the insertion hole 9. The communication hole 11 slides laterally with the projection 11b from the smoking room 4 side to freely change the size of the hole 1.
1a is provided. A battery chamber 23 is provided inside the smoking chamber wall 4a, and the battery chamber 23 is equipped with a battery for a heater of the ignition device 16 that ignites the tip of the cigarette 7. An ignition switch 24 is provided outside the smoking chamber wall 4a opposite to the battery chamber 23.

In the combustion chamber 3 in front of the smoking chamber 4, an igniting device 16 such as a heater for igniting the tip of the cigarette 7 is provided at the tip portion 15 of the combustion chamber 3, and the igniting device 16 burns an electric wire (not shown). The wiring is connected to the chamber wall 3a and connected to the battery chamber 23 and the ignition switch 24. The heater is provided at a position where the tip of the cigarette 7 contacts. The material around the ignition device 16 including the heater of the combustion chamber wall 3a is a heat-resistant material having good thermal conductivity, such as polyaramid fiber or a thin metal plate having good thermal conductivity. An air gap is provided between the heater and the combustion chamber wall 3a to insulate it with air. On the other hand, in the fitting hole 9 into which the suction port 8 of the cigarette 7 of the partition wall 2 is fitted, a cigarette holding pipe 22 having a short length of a heat-resistant synthetic resin pipe is arranged. The cigarette 7 is ignited, burned and consumed, and gradually becomes shorter. However, cigarette holding pipe 2
When the ignition part approaches 2, the communication hole 11 is closed, so that the air in the smoking chamber 4 flows from the suction port 8 of the cigarette 7 to the ignition part of the cigarette 7 and, as a result, the fire is extinguished. . When the tobacco holding pipe 22 is made of metal, when the ignition part reaches the tobacco holding pipe 22, the metal absorbs heat to extinguish the fire. In this case, the tobacco holding pipe 22 is made of thin copper or aluminum having good thermal conductivity, and its weight is reduced as much as possible. Further, the partition wall 2 around the cigarette holding pipe 22 is appropriately provided with a light and thin metal having good heat conductivity to let the heat escape to the outside of the mask. Further, a shielding plate 18 reaching from the tip portion 15 of the combustion chamber 3 to the vicinity of the partition wall 2 is arranged below the cigarette 7 into which the shielding plate 18 is inserted. The ashes 17 of cigarettes are always stored in the lower part of the combustion chamber 3 below the shielding plate 18 by the circulation of air in the combustion chamber 3, and the ashes 17 move to the shielding plate 18 of the combustion chamber 3. Prevent it from happening. On the other hand, when a large amount of ash crust 17 accumulates in the lower part of the shielding plate 18, the combustion chamber 3 becomes a smoking chamber 4.
It is opened from the inside and discarded from the rear end of the combustion chamber 3 as appropriate.

Further, the combustion chamber 3 is provided with a smoke exhaust pipe 13 in which a replaceable sponge-like filter 12 consisting of continuous bubbles is attached at the tip. The sponge filter 12 is for removing tar, nicotine, or fine carbon fine powder in an ash cylinder, and a spare filter is appropriately provided in an appropriate place on the combustion chamber wall 3a. The rear end side of the smoke exhaust pipe 13 is taken out from the lower part of the combustion chamber wall 3a to the outside of the mask and is connected to the external smoke exhaust pipe 14 having a suction action outside the mask. In this case, it is convenient for the smoker to dispose switches for adjusting the suction force of the suction blower and for turning it on and off at the knees of the smoker 14 of the external smoke exhaust pipe. As still another example, the external smoke exhaust pipe 14 decompresses the inside of the combustion chamber 3 by a suction device provided at an appropriate position and extends the tip thereof to the outside of the room where the smoker is located to diffuse the smoke to the atmosphere outside the room. Alternatively, the external flue gas pipe 14 is connected to a flue gas purifying device installed at an appropriate location for purification. Mounting bands 21 are provided at the rear ends of the left and right walls of the combustion chamber wall 3a.
1 is attached to the back of the smoker's head and the smoke mask 1 is attached to the face.

In yet another embodiment, FIG. 3 and FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, instead of providing the suction device for decompressing the inside of the combustion chamber 3 in the external smoke exhaust pipe 14, a small smoke exhaust blower is provided in the smoke exhaust pipe 13 directly below the sponge filter 12 provided at the tip. 19 is provided so as to inhale the flue gas. Blower switch 2 which is an operation switch of a motor for driving the suction blower 19
5 is provided near the ignition switch 24 on the smoking room wall 4a. In this embodiment, the other configurations except the above points are the same as those of the first embodiment. In this embodiment, since the blower 19 is built in, if the external smoke exhaust pipe 14 is extended outside the window, it can be used even in a place where no external blower or smoke exhaust purification device is installed.

FIG. 5 shows a state in which the smoke mask 1 of the first embodiment is mounted on the face of a smoker for use. When smoking, the upper portion of the combustion chamber 3 is removed from the engaging claw 28 at the upper portion of the smoking chamber, and the mouthpiece portion 8 of the cigarette 7 is inserted into the cigarette holding pipe 22 provided in the fitting insertion hole 9 to make the cigarette 7 The combustion chamber 3 is closed to the smoking chamber 4 by bringing the tip of the heater into contact with the heater of the ignition device 16. Next, the size of the opening of the communication hole 11 is moved from the side of the smoking chamber 4 to adjust the size of the projection 11b, and is prepared. Cover the prepared smoke mask 1 on the face and hang the mounting band 11 on the back of the head. On the other hand, after connecting the tip of the internal smoke exhaust pipe 13 outside the mask to the external exhaust pipe 14 that is sucking air, after holding the mouthpiece 8 of the cigarette 7 in the smoking room 4 in the mouth, turn on the ignition switch 24. Then, the tip of the cigarette 7 is lit by the heater of the ignition device 16 and smoking is performed at the same time as the ignition. This smoking cigarette 7
The fire that ignited at the tip of the will fully reach the cigarette. The mainstream smoke of the smoke exhaust 10 discharged through the mouth or nostril is sucked into the combustion chamber 3 from the communication hole 11 of the partition wall 2 and then to the sponge filter 12. On the other hand, the sidestream smoke of the flue gas 29 rising from the ignition part at the tip of the cigarette 7 is also sucked into the sponge filter 12, and then from the flue gas pipe 13 to the outside flue gas pipe 14 to the outside of the smoker or the flue gas purifying device. Is sucked and exhausted. From the above, since all smoke emissions do not come out from the smoker's surroundings, cigarette smoke does not diffuse into the surrounding environment and does not smell and it is known to be smoking to the surrounding people. There is no such thing. Furthermore, since the ash shell is stored under the shield plate 18, it does not spread into the upper chamber of the combustion chamber 3. In addition, the metal should be made as thin and lightweight as possible to limit the amount of the metal to make the mask lightweight and reduce the burden of wearing.

[0015]

As described above, by smoking with the smoke mask of the present invention, mainstream smoke that is exhausted by smoking and sidestream smoke that is smoke that rises from the ignition part of the cigarette are removed from the mask. Therefore, the smoke is not emitted to the environment surrounding the smoker, so that it does not harm the environment. Moreover, since the mask is a mask, it can be easily carried anywhere, and it is possible to freely smoke cigarettes. The present invention has excellent effects that have not been obtained in the past.
