TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates generally to smoking devices, and more particularly to filters, devices and methods for removing smoke and odor.

  Smoking is a habit of inhaling the resulting smoke by burning a combustible material such as, for example, tobacco, cannabis, or herbs. By burning this substance, active drugs such as nicotine and THC are discharged and absorbed by the smoker through the lungs. The most common method of smoking today is primarily by industrially manufactured cigarettes, but can also be hand-wound using wrapping paper. Other smoking tools include traditional pipes, cigars, hookahs, water pipes, or marijuana hookahs.

  A person smokes for a change of spirit, as a ritual, asking for spiritual awareness and for medical purposes. The history of smoking is estimated to have occurred as early as 5000 BC, and is documented in many different cultures around the world. Early smoking was associated with religious rituals and developed as a tribute to the gods, in craving rituals, or as a fortune-telling procedure. Smoking habits have become commonplace.

  Naturally, cannabis used for play is illegal in most parts of the world, but its use as a pharmaceutical is in many regions, including Canada, Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Israel, Italy, Finland, and Portugal. Is legal. In the United States, medical cannabis permits vary from state to state, and several states have legislation that regulates cannabis consumption, possession, cultivation, and distribution for medical purposes.

  While smoking is natural and enjoyable, smoke inhalation can adversely affect a smoker's health. Carcinogens in tobacco and cannabis smoke can increase the risk of developing smokers' cardiovascular, lung, cancer, and other diseases. Many of the many industrially manufactured cigarettes use filters to reduce the nicotine, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), tar, smoke, and certain substances that smokers inhale when the cigarette burns. Industrially manufactured filters contain a variety of materials and have a predetermined length, such as about 30% of the length of a cigarette. However, cigarette filters do not limit the protection of non-smokers or other people near the smoker.

  As a result, smoking can adversely affect the health of nonsmokers, including smokers' non-smoking friends and family. When a non-smoker is exposed to secondhand smoke, it is usually called passive smoking. Non-smokers who smoke indirect smoke, like smokers, smoke nicotine, THC, tar, smoke, certain substances, and / or other chemicals. Passive smoking has played a central role in the debate about the hazards and regulations of tobacco products. Since the early 1970s, the tobacco industry has been concerned about passive smoking as a serious threat to operating profits. Passive smoking has been recognized as a motivation for stricter regulations on tobacco products and smoking bans in workplaces and indoor public buildings such as restaurants, bars and nightclubs.

  Even those who are close to the smoker may later suffer from the adverse effects of smoking. Smoking emits odors to hair, clothing, or other surfaces even after smoke is no longer visible. Some researchers call this residual odor a sidestream smoke residue. In essence, particles produced by smoking adhere to the surface and can be measured long after a person has finished smoking.

  There is a need for a mechanism that preserves the smoking experience that is common and enjoyable, while reducing or eliminating the adverse effects of passive smoking and sidestream smoke residues.

  FIGS. 1a to 1e illustrate a pipe 100 for removing smoke and odor according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 a is a perspective view of the pipe 100. FIG. 1 b is a side view of the pipe 100. FIG. 1 c is a plan view of the pipe 100. FIG. 1 d is a bottom view of the pipe 100. FIG. 1 e is a front view of the pipe 100.

  As shown in FIGS. 1a to 1e, the pipe 100 has six surfaces, that is, an upper surface 151, a bottom surface 152, a front surface 153, a back surface 154, a left side surface 155, and a right side surface 156. The pipe 100 includes a push-up lid 110 having a mouthpiece 105 and a one-way suction vent 115 on the front surface 153 and a one-way suction vent 120 on the upper surface 151.

  In use, the smoker opens the lid 110 to expose a combustion bowl (not shown) with the combustion material therein. The smoker applies a flame to the combustion substance using, for example, a butane lighter, and performs suction through the mouthpiece 105. The air stream burns the combustible material and passes the smoke from the mouthpiece 105 to the smoker through the suction path of the pipe 100 and through a suction filter (not shown). The smoker closes the lid 110 and efficiently prevents air from flowing out of the opening exposed when the lid 110 is open. Air can still be drawn through the one-way suction vent 120. The smoke is then discharged through the same mouthpiece 105. Smoke passes through the discharge path of the pipe 100 from the discharge vent 115 via a discharge filter (not shown). The discharge filter removes smoke and odor particles.

  In one embodiment, the pipe 100 is about 4 inches long (front and back), 1.5 inches high (top and bottom), and 7/8 inches wide (left and right). The component of the pipe 100 may be made of metal such as aluminum or plastic.

  FIG. 2 shows an exploded view of a pipe 100 (shown in FIGS. 1a-1e) according to one embodiment of the present invention.

An end cap 208 having a through hole (not shown in FIG. 2) is disposed at the rear end of the lower channel 210. A bowl housing 202, which can be made of aluminum, is disposed behind the end cap 208 on the rear side of the body 201. Although not shown in the figure, a bowl vent may be provided below the bowl 212. The shape of the bowl housing 202 directs air through the upper channel 211 through the bowl vent on the underside of the bowl 212 to the intermediate chamber behind the end cap 208. Although not shown, in some embodiments, a suction filter may be placed in the upper channel 211. The shape of the bowl housing 202 also allows air to pass from the upper channel to the intermediate chamber below the bowl 212, through the end cap 208 and through the lower channel 210.

  A fixture 205 is disposed at the front end of the main body 201. The fixture 205 includes two passages, an upper passage 213 that connects to the upper channel 211 and a lower passage 214 that connects to the lower channel 210. In some embodiments, the fixture 205 is hermetically attached to the body 210 using, for example, a glue. The upper passage 213 can be configured to receive a mouthpiece 105 mounted thereon with an O-ring 204 therebetween to create a security seal. The lower passage 214 is configured to receive the discharge filter cartridge 203 within the lower channel 210 and the discharge vent cap 206. In some embodiments, the discharge vent cap 206 is removable, allowing the discharge filter cartridge 203 to be replaced. In some embodiments, the end cap 206 is part of or integral with the discharge filter cartridge 203.

One or more one-way suction valves and one or more one-way to prevent air from being drawn from the discharge filter cartridge 203 during suction and to prevent air from being pushed through the combustion bowl 212 during discharge A discharge valve is used. In some embodiments, a one-way suction valve is attached to the push-up lid 110. In some embodiments, the one-way suction valve may be a flap (similar to the flap 303 shown in FIG. 3) located on the underside of the push-up lid 110. Therefore, during ejection, the suction flap prevents air from exiting the push-up lid 110 and allows air to pass through the lower channel. In some embodiments, a one-way discharge valve is disposed in or on the discharge filter cartridge 203, in the body 201, on the end cap 208, or in the discharge vent cap 206. In some embodiments, the one-way discharge valve may be a flap (similar to the flap 303 of FIG. 3) located on the front side of the end cap 208. Thus, during suction, this flap prevents air from being drawn from the lower channel 210 and allows air to flow through the lower channel.

  FIG. 3 is an exploded view of a push-up lid assembly 300 according to some embodiments. The push-up lid assembly 300 includes a push-up lid 110 having a suction vent 120 therethrough, a rear side wall 312 extending downward from the rear of the lid 110, a pivot bore 310 passing through the rear side wall 312 from left to right, And a finger lever 311 that rotates the push-up lid around the pivot bore 310 when pushed up through the rear side 154 when placed on the main body 201. The first dowel 308 is inserted into the pivot bore 310 and a Lee Spring torsion spring 307 is attached to the first dowel 308. The first dowel 308 includes a dowel bore 315 therethrough.

The push-up lid 110 opens and closes and draws air from the mouthpiece 105 by suction, draws air from the upper channel 211, draws air from the intermediate path 503, and an intermediate chamber below the bowl 212. Air is drawn from 505. A one-way discharge flap 507 prevents air from being drawn from the lower channel 210 and the discharge filter cartridge 203. Instead, air is drawn through the bowl vent 520 on the underside of the bowl 212 to draw smoke from the burning material burning in the bowl 212. This is referred to as a “suction path” in this embodiment. During discharge, air enters the mouthpiece 105, enters air into the upper chamber 211, and enters the intermediate chamber 505 through the intermediate path 503. A one-way suction flap 303 (see FIG. 3) in the push-up lid assembly 300 prevents air from passing through the combustion bowl 202. Instead, the one-way discharge flap 507 of the lower channel 210 opens so that air enters the lower channel 210 and exits the discharge vent 115 through the discharge filter cartridge 203. In some embodiments, the discharge flap 507 (or other one-way discharge valve) can be placed in this position and / or other positions, such as in the discharge filter cartridge 203 or near the discharge vent 115. This is called an “ejection path” in this embodiment.

  FIG. 5 c shows a cross section of the rear side of the pipe 100 passing through the bowl 212. As shown, the bowl housing 202 includes a bowl vent 520 between the bowl 212 and the chamber 505.

Pipe 2600 includes an end block 2708, a body 2716, a head 2738, and a slidable cap 2736. End block 2708 fits into body 2716. The power block 2710 is above the end block 2708 in the body 2716 and supplies power to a resistance heating element (not shown) that ignites the cigarette 2106. Electrical post 2724 is connected to contact block 2718, which is connected to power block 2710. The electrical post 2724 extends along the cigarette 2106 when inserted. The power block 2710 includes a battery or other power source that supplies power to the heating element. The ignition button 2722 interfaces with an electric circuit in the power block 2710 (not shown), supplies power to the resistance heating element, and ignites the cigarette 2106.

  End block 2708 includes a receptacle 2748. An ash door and one-way suction valve assembly 2702 are disposed within the receptacle 2748 to capture cigarette ash and restrict air flow during ejection.

  The shutter 2720 is connected to the electric post 2724. Spring 2714 biases shutter 2720 to the closed position. End block 2708, shutter 2720, and body 2716 form an ignition and combustion chamber. Shutter 2720 and spring 2714 restrict the air flow through the suction path when cigarette 2106 reaches a predetermined length.

  The O-ring 2742 seals the cigarette cylinder 2740 of the head 2738 with respect to the main body 2716. Cylinder cap 2744 is opened to receive cigarette 2106. The lever 2734 allows the cylinder cap 2744 to be easily tightened or loosened. Thus, when the cigarette 2106 is inserted into the cigarette cylinder 2740, the cigarette 2106 deflects the shutter 2720 and receives the cigarette in the ignition and combustion chamber.

  The pipe 2600 includes a suction path configured to allow air flow from the one-way valve assembly 2702 through the ignition and combustion chamber and cigarette 2106 to the mouthpiece 2728 during suction. The mouthpiece can be coupled to the head 2738 and the filter 2742 via the mouthpiece adapter 2730.

  Pipe 2600 includes a discharge path configured to allow airflow through discharge filter 2726 during discharge. Smoke discharged to the mouthpiece 2734 is guided through the filter 2742 and discharged from the discharge port 2628. The discharge filter 2742 may include a one-way discharge valve through which air flows during discharge.

  FIG. 28 illustrates a slidable heating element system 2800, according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the slidable heating element system 2800 includes an electrical post 2824 having a contact block 2818 connected to a power source 2810. The slidable heating element system 2800 further includes a resistance heating element 2802 biased to contact the tip of the cigarette 2106 using a spring 2814. Resistive heating element 2802 is connected to electrical post 2824 via slidable cylinders 2804 and 2806 to provide electrical connection to contact block 2818. The slidable heating element 2800 further includes a stop structure 2820 that prevents the resistance heating element 2802 from following the tip of the cigarette 2106 when the cigarette 2106 reaches a predetermined length. The resistance heating element 2802 is slidable between the end point of the post 2824 and the stop structure 2820.

  When the ignition button 2722 on the pipe 2700 is pressed, the power supply 2810 electrically activates the contact block 2818 to cause the resistance heating element 2802 to generate heat and ignite the cigarette 2106. When the cigarette 2106 burns, the resistance heating element 2802 follows the tip of the cigarette 2106. When reaching the stop block 2820, the resistance heating element 2802 no longer contacts the tip of the cigarette 2106 and naturally moves the cigarette 2106 out. Stop block 2820 is arranged to accommodate a predetermined length, such as the length of a cigarette filter.

  Although some embodiments have been described as using the same mouthpiece for aspiration and ejection, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that other mouthpieces can be used. Although several embodiments have been described using cigarettes, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the pipe can be used to receive other smoking devices such as cigars, fine cigarettes, hand-rolled cigarettes, marijuana tobacco, and the like. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that in some embodiments, the suction and discharge paths do not overlap. The term “pipe” includes various types of smoking devices, including marijuana hookahs, hookahs, electronic cigarettes and others. It is obvious that the term “smoke” may or may not contain odors and may or may not contain visible smoke.

  Embodiments of the present invention preserve the experience that can be enjoyed for the sake of smoking, while reducing or eliminating the side effects of sidestream smoke and passive smoking. For example, embodiments of the present invention reduce or eliminate odors and particulate matter associated with passive smoking that adhere to hair, clothing, and other surfaces. In addition, embodiments of the present invention reduce or eliminate the amount of nicotine, THC, tar, smoke, particulate matter, and / or other chemicals that are harmful to the health of non-smokers near the smoker. Therefore, the health of friends and family members who do not smoke is enhanced. Thus, according to embodiments of the present invention, smokers can enjoy the ritual, mental, medical, and other purposes of smoking, regardless of the environment and health of sidestream smoke and passive smoking. .
