Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a smoking accessory capable of passing secondary stream smoke emitted from tobacco itself through a filter and an ion generator and introducing main stream smoke emitted from the mouth of a smoker from a window part through the filter into the ion generator by sucking actions of the ion generator, thereby removing malodor and toxic components in both the cases and further purifying the main stream smoke as well as the secondary stream smoke in a small-sized apparatus. CONSTITUTION:This smoking accessory is obtained by arranging an ion generator 5 having a filter 4 provided on the surface thereof in a flow passage of secondary stream smoke emitted from a cigarette 14 itself in the interior of the body 1 and forming a window part 8 in the lateral edge of the body so as to make one surface of the ion generator 5 face to the window part 8.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a smoking device for purifying not only sidestream smoke emitted from a cigarette itself but also mainstream smoke emitted from a smoker's mouth.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When smoking, mainstream smoke is emitted from the smoker's mouth in addition to sidestream smoke emitted from the cigarette itself, and the main source of pollution in this chamber is mainstream smoke. Conventionally, smoking tools intended to purify the smoke emitted from these cigarettes are mainly intended to purify secondary smoke, and few are intended to purify mainstream smoke, and those intended to purify mainstream smoke. However, there are drawbacks such as its small effect and impracticality.

For example, in addition to sidestream smoke from the cigarette itself,
As a smoking tool for purifying mainstream smoke emitted from a smoker's mouth, a septic tank having various filtering layers has an intake hole and a cigarette holder at its base end, and smoke at its tip. A smoking device in which a smoke passage having an inhalation mechanism is inserted is disclosed (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. Sho 63-186193).

[0004] Further, there is disclosed a smoking article in which a goose neck connected to the tip of a Raou body having a storage room for cigarettes is provided with a storage room for smoke-reducing deodorant and a manual pump room (Actual Kaihei 4-133195).
issue).

[0005]

However, in the former smoking device, the mainstream smoke emitted from the smoker's mouth is forcibly sucked into the smoke passage by the suction mechanism and sent to the septic tank. In this smoking tool, a fan driven by an electric motor is used as a mainstream smoke inhaling mechanism, and a septic tank contains a sponge containing water, activated carbon, and a filter layer of sand containing water, which is large in size.

Further, in this smoking device, the mainstream smoke is sucked into the smoke passage through the small intake hole provided at the base end thereof, so that the mainstream smoke is sufficiently purified despite the increase in size of the device. There are drawbacks such as not being forgotten.

On the other hand, in the latter smoking device, the mainstream smoke at the time of smoking is exhaled air, and the sidestream smoke is sent to the storage chamber of the smoke reduction deodorant by the pumping action of the manual pump chamber. In this case, the mainstream smoke is sucked in through the small intake hole by the smoker's exhaled air and sent to the storage room for the smoke reduction deodorant material, so there is a drawback that a sufficient cleaning action cannot be obtained despite the large size of the device. .

Therefore, the present invention does not increase the size of the device,
It is an object of the present invention to propose a smoking device that has a sufficient cleaning effect on mainstream smoke as well as sidestream smoke.

[0009]

In order to solve the above problems, in the present invention, an ion generator having a filter provided on the surface thereof is arranged in the main body in the flow path of sidestream smoke emitted from the cigarette itself. At the same time, a window is formed on the side edge of the main body,
A smoking article is proposed in which the window portion faces one surface of the ion generator.

[0010]

That is, the ion generator used in the present invention generates cations and anions respectively, and the action of these ions causes the smoke of cigarettes to be sucked into the ion generator. Therefore, in this invention, the sidestream smoke emitted from the cigarette is a filter,
While passing through the ion generator and discharged to the outside, odorous components and harmful components contained therein are collected and purified.

On the other hand, the mainstream smoke from the smoker's mouth is sent to the ion generator through the filter from the window portion by the suction action of the ion generator, during which odorous components and harmful components are passed through the filter or the ion generator. The mainstream smoke is purified because it is collected in.

[0012]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments. 1 is a main body of a smoking device according to the present invention, and the main body 1 has a smoking end 2 having a proximal end portion enlarged in diameter. The pipe holder 3 is provided on the bottom of the smoking part 2.

An ion generator 5 is provided with a filter 4 on the surface of the upper portion of the main body 1 adjacent to the smoking portion 2.
The battery 6 for driving the ion generator 5 is housed in the upper part of the main body 1 adjacent thereto.

On the other hand, a window 8 having a lattice 7 is formed on the upper edge of the main body 1 adjacent to the smoking portion 2 so as to face one surface of the ion generator 5.

Further, an ash storage tank 9 having an open end along the longitudinal direction is formed in the lower part of the main body 1, and
A screw portion 10 is formed at the tip of the main body 1, and a cap 12 having a screw portion 11 that is screwed into the screw portion 10 is screwed.

In the above structure, the smoker smokes with the pipe 13 supported by the holder 3. In this case, the sidestream smoke emitted from the tip of the lit cigarette 14 is from below the filter 4 and the ion generator. Although it passes through 5 and is discharged to the outside through the window portion 8, odorous components and harmful components contained in the sidestream smoke are collected by the filter 4 or the ion generator 5 during the period, and thus purified.

On the other hand, most of the mainstream smoke emitted from the mouth of the smoker is not introduced into the main body 1 from the smoking section 2 but is discharged to the outside. Since the odorous components and harmful components contained in the ion introduction device 5 are introduced from the portion 8 through the filter 4 into the ion generation device 5, the mainstream smoke is purified. .

Further, in this embodiment, since the ash storage tank 9 is provided in the lower portion of the main body 1 and the cap 12 is screwed to the tip of the main body 1 having the opening, the ash of the cigarette 14 is stored in the ash storage tank. By collecting the cap 12 in the tank 9 and removing the cap 12, the residual ash in the ash storage tank 9 can be treated.

[0019]

In summary, according to the present invention, the sidestream smoke emitted from the cigarette itself is passed through the filter and the ion generator, and the mainstream smoke emitted from the smoker's mouth is sucked by the ion generator. The odorous components and the harmful components are removed by introducing the odorous components and the harmful components through the filter from the filter to the ion generating device. Therefore, in addition to the sidestream smoke, the mainstream smoke can be purified with a small device.
