Abstract
The invention is a structural utility in the interior of a hard and nonflammable figurine that results in the manipulation of smoke to create an outpouring of smoke from one or more outlets in the figurine.
Description
- My invention pertains to the field of sculpting, fine art, and the creation of figurines including religious, spiritual, or decorative figurines that perform a mechanical process. The invention is not a pipe or other apparatus designed for the user to inhale or suck smoke out of a cavity; it comprises instead a mechanical process whereby smoke is conducted through a main cavity out through a secondary cavity in a hardened clay or otherwise solid and nonflammable figurine for decorative or spiritual purposes.
- My invention consists of a method of shaping clay or another non-flammable substance into hard figurines with interior structures that create an expulsion of smoke from a secondary cavity when paper or another flammable material is inserted into a main cavity and lit with fire.
-
FIG. 1 : Naked-eye view of a possible figurine, constructed from clay or other solid or hardened nonflammable material. -
FIG. 2 : Cross section of figurine, with a main cavity (A; Claim 2) and a connected secondary cavity (B; Claim 3) visible as intersecting at any arbitrary angle within the interior of the figurine. -
FIG. 3 : Cross section of same figurine including the main cavity (A; Claim 2) and a connected secondary cavity (B; Claim 3) in addition to paper or other flammable material, rolled into a cylindrical and hollow shape (C; Claim 4) and inserted into the top part of the main cavity with the bottom of the paper resting on the walls of the main cavity and causing the paper to stand erect. -
FIG. 4 : Cross section of same figurine including the main cavity (A; Claim 2) and a connected secondary cavity (B; Claim 3) with inserted paper or other flammable material (C; Claim 4), this time including a depiction of the paper cylinder on fire (D; Claim 5) so as to create a flow of smoke from the paper through the main cavity and out through any secondary cavity, with the path of smoke (E) depicted by directional movement arrows.
Claims (5)
1. Structure of a main cavity (claim) wider at the top and decreasing in size toward the bottom surrounded by solid boundaries comprising a figurine or otherwise solid structure, connected to a secondary cavity (claim 3 ) allowing for the expression of smoke through the secondary cavity when a flammable material—paper or otherwise—is inserted in particular fashion (claim 4 ) in the top of the main cavity and lit with fire (claim 5 ).
2. A cone-shaped main cavity within hardened clay or another solid, nonflammable material resistant to the damaging effects of heat and fire, comprising a chamber to collect smoke from burning paper or other flammable material inserted into the top of the cavity.
3. A secondary cavity comprising one or more smaller, air-filled chambers constructed at an angle to the main cavity (claim 2 ) and connected to the main cavity, whereby smoke from a burning material (claim 4 ) accumulating in the main cavity (claim 2 ) may exit the figurine, allowing for the connected cavities (claims 2 & 3) to draw continual smoke from the center of the flammable material (claim 4 ) for as long as the flammable material burns and creates smoke.
4. The process by which paper or other flammable material is
formed into a cylinder in Which airflow is possible and inserted so as to rest on the top walls of the cone-shaped cavity and stay erect, not obstructing any intended secondary cavities (claim 3 ).
This process includes but is not limited to the insertion of the cylindrically shaped flammable material into the main cavity in a fashion that is air-tight around the circumference of the opening of the main cavity, though possibilities for airflow between the flammable material and the top of the chamber may comprise secondary cavities (claim 3 ) whereby smoke may be made to intentionally travel for a desired effect.
5. The process by which the top of the paper or other flammable material is lit on fire while the bottom of the paper cylinder (claim 4 ) rests on the top walls of the cone-shaped main cavity (claim 2 ) in such a manner so as not to obstruct any secondary cavities (claim 3 ), allowing for the passage of smoke from the top of the flammable cylinder down through the main cavity and into any secondary cavities and ultimately exiting the figurine.
