Abstract

The invention relates to the fields of medicine and medical technology and can be used as a smoking cessation aid as well as in circumstances in which real smoking is not possible, for example in aircraft cabins or public places. A pipe for smoke-free smoking comprises a bowl (1), a shank (2), a mouthpiece (3) with a lip (4), an air passage (5) inside the pipe with a cavity for holding a sealed capsule (6) which is filled with a nicotine-containing substance, and a means for breaking the seal, which may be in the form of two cords (9) in a Bowden casing, which run from the surface of the pipe to the sites where the ends of the capsule are situated, or two sharp points positioned inside the pipe at the sites where the ends of the capsule are situated. The invention makes it possible to imitate fully the smoking process and allows the smoker to satisfy his need for nicotine without burning tobacco and thus emitting smoke and combustion products that are harmful to himself and others around him.

Description

SMOKELESS PIPE

Technical field

The utility model relates to medicine and medical equipment and can be used as a means to help stop smoking, as well as in conditions where full smoking is not possible, for example, in airplane cabins or public places where smoking is prohibited. In addition, the utility model makes it possible to satisfy the smoker's need for nicotine without the process of burning tobacco and the accompanying emission of smoke and harmful combustion products such as CO, acetone, arsenic, benzopyrene, tar, etc.

State of the art

From the application US 2004003820 known means of simulating smoking, made in the form of a cigarette. This tool contains a cylindrical body, the inner surface of which is covered with corrugated paper, impregnated with the corresponding aromatic substance, reminiscent of the smell of burning tobacco. A brush is installed inside the housing with the possibility of movement, the bristle of which, scratching the corrugated paper, stimulates the release of aromatic substances.

A disadvantage of the known device is the poor imitation of the smoking process and the inconvenience of use. To obtain the smell of burning tobacco, it is necessary to constantly move the brush inside the case, while the brush handle exits out through the filter, which is placed in the mouth of the “kyrylycytsa”. In addition, the user only inhales the smell of burning tobacco, while to completely simulate smoking, it is necessary to ensure at least minimal introduction of nicotine into the body, the absence of which can create certain psychological and / or physiological inconveniences.

Known means of simulating smoking according to patent RU 2067876, made in the form of a plastic mouthpiece connected to a cylindrical body through which a stream of air can be inhaled by the user. A cavity is made in the housing for placement in it of a sealed capsule (cartridge) containing a porous polymer material impregnated with nicotine-containing substance. As such, liquid nicotine or a mixture of nicotine, menthol and ethanol can be used. The housing is provided with means for depressurizing the capsule.

A disadvantage of the known device is the poor imitation of the smoking process.

Closest to the present utility model in technical essence is a device for simulating smoking according to the patent US 6854470. The device is made in the form of a cigarette, i.e. has a hollow cylindrical body, in one of the ends of which a filter is placed, and in the other an electric bulb connected to a current source located inside the body. Various aromatic mixtures are placed in front of the filter through which air drawn by the user passes. In addition, magnets, an electrically conductive element and an integrated module for reproducing the sound (musical accompaniment) of the “smoking” process are placed in the case.

A disadvantage of the known device is that it does not allow to simulate the smoking process using a pipe. It is known that smokers are divided into categories that use cigarettes, cigars, cigarettes, pipes for smoking.

In this regard, the well-known technical solution, which imitates the process of smoking cigarettes very closely, cannot satisfy smokers who are used to using a pipe.

The utility model aims to provide a complete simulation of the smoking process using a pipe smoker.

Utility Model Disclosure

This problem is solved in that the tube for smokeless smoking contains a cup, a nibble, a mouthpiece with a mouthpiece, an air channel inside the tube with a cavity for accommodating a sealed capsule with a nicotine-containing substance, and a means for depressurizing said capsule.

Preferably, the capsule depressurization means are two cables in a Bowden sheath, laid from the surface of the tube to the locations of the capsule ends, or two tips located inside the tube at the locations of the capsule ends. This embodiment of the pipe for smokeless smoking allows you to most fully simulate the pipe used for smoking tobacco.

Placing the capsule with nicotine-containing substances in the air channel allows you to refuse from burning tobacco, placed in the bowl of the pipe with full smoking, replacing the burning tobacco with vapors of the substances contained in the said capsule.

Features and advantages of this utility model will be more apparent from the following description of examples of its implementation with reference to the attached drawings.

Brief Description of the Drawings

In FIG. 1 shows a tube in accordance with a utility model, a general view in a perspective view;

in FIG. 2 - tube in accordance with the first embodiment of the capsule depressurization means, a longitudinal sectional view;

in FIG. 3 is a fragment of a tube with a capsule depressurization means corresponding to a second embodiment thereof, an enlarged longitudinal sectional view.

Utility Model Embodiments

As shown in FIG. 1 and 2, the tube contains a cup 1, made in integral with it, the cup 2, as well as a mouthpiece 3 detachable from the cup 2 with the mouthpiece 4. A common air channel 5 with a cavity, in which the sealed capsule 6 with nicotine-containing substance is located, passes through the tube. The capsule 6 is made in the form of a hollow cylinder, the bases of which are hermetically closed by membranes 7. The carrier of the nicotine-containing substance is, for example, a porous material 8 containing nicotine. The cavity for accommodating the capsule 6 inside the tube is provided with a means for its depressurization.

In one embodiment of the utility model shown in FIG. 2, the capsule depressurization means is made in the form of two cables 9 in a Bowden sheath. In another embodiment of the utility model shown in FIG. 3, the capsule depressurization means are two tips 10 located inside the tube at the locations of the ends of the capsule 6.

The tube is used as follows.

The mouthpiece 3 is separated from the casing 2, and a capsule 6 with nicotine-containing substance is placed in the cavity of the air channel 5. In this case, the capsule 6, made in the form of a sealed cylinder, is hermetically closed by the membranes 7. Then, the mouthpiece 3 is connected to the sponge 2, as a result of which the capsule 6 is depressurized due to rupture of the membranes 7 by the tips 10 (Fig. 3). Thus, the smoker can absorb air with nicotine. When using two cables 9 in the Bowden shell as a depressurization medium, the pipe can be stored in running order, and if necessary, the smoker will depressurize the carrier 6, affecting the cables 9.

Although in the above-described embodiments of the utility model, the tube is made with a mouthpiece detachable from the chubuk, the tube can be made monolithic, i.e. forming a single whole from its constituent parts without the possibility of separation. In addition, the tube can be made completely collapsible, while the bowl, cube and mouthpiece are interconnected using known means of fixation and fastening.

In addition, the capsule with the carrier of the nicotine-containing substance can be located anywhere along the entire length of the air channel — in the bowl, in the chubuk, between the chubuk and the mouthpiece or in the mouthpiece itself. As experiments have shown, the imitation of the smoking process is most fully felt by the user if the carrier of the nicotine-containing substance is placed in the cavity between the chubuk and the mouthpiece.

The carrier of the nicotine-containing substance can be made in the form of a porous or hygroscopic material impregnated with an appropriate composition and placed in a shell (capsule) that is easily destroyed or removed before being placed in the tube.
