Description

Device for holding tobacco in the compartment of a tube covered with another sliding tube so that the tobacco can be smoked without the use of paper.

The present invention relates to a device for keeping rolling tobacco positioned in length inside hollow tubes in order to be able to smoke the rolling tobacco without using paper to maintain it.

To be smoked in length in a tube, the rolling tobacco must be wrapped in length in a paper tube which requires to have at best rolling paper, a tubeuse with its paper tubes to be filled where roll up the tobacco in a piece of paper to keep the tobacco rolling so that it can be smoked.

The burning of the paper surrounding the rolling tobacco induces an additional combustion which denatures the taste of the tobacco and causes smoke emissions

10 additional to those of tobacco combustion which aggravates the health risks.

The purchase of paper entails an additional cost. Rolling tobacco placed in a conventional paper tube can not be completely smoked. Butts are thrown on the public road.

The device according to the invention overcomes these disadvantages. It comprises according to a first feature, three tubes, hollow, sliding into each other. A first

A rolling tobacco carrying tube comprising a straight side having a groove along its length

for inserting the rolling tobacco into a compartment inside the open tube by the groove and comprising a series of holes bordering the groove and on the remainder of the circumference bypassing the groove. The rolling tobacco was thus held in the grooved compartment and ran through several holes of the tobacco carrying tube thus replacing the paper carrying tube.

20 classic. The inner diameter of its ungrooved and unthreaded left portion is smaller than the inside diameter of its grooved and holed straight portion.

The device comprises a second tube sliding on the outside of the tobacco carrying tube, this sliding tube is distinct and complementary to the tobacco carrying tube. The length of the sliding tube is greater than the length of the groove giving access to the tobacco compartment of the tobacco carrying tube.

The device comprises a third hollow tube, sliding inside the tobacco carrying tube; by sliding it to the end of the right side of the tobacco carrying tube entaht an internal stop to stop the length of the device is reduced and storage facilitated.

The sliding tube which is housed inside the tobacco carrying tube is pulled by the user by its end which protrudes from the left side of the tobacco carrying tube, it releases the tobacco compartment from the carrier tube. The device is lengthened to the length chosen according to the amount of tobacco that the user wants to smoke. A stop located on its right end makes it possible to block race by blocking it against the inner part of the left side without holes of the tobacco carrying tube against its inner thickness. The device is in an extended position and is ready for use.

The user places the tobacco in the tobacco compartment of the carrier tube. The tube sliding on the tobacco carrier tube is pushed by the user towards the right side of the tobacco carrier tube until it is blocked by a stop located on the right edge of the carrier tube and covers the compartment where is placed the rolling tobacco where is pushed by the user to position on the left side not grooved and unpicked tube carrying tobacco to roll. The user slides the sliding tube on the outside of the carrier tube to cover the compartment containing the rolling tobacco.

At this point, the rolling tobacco is surrounded by the two tubes, the first tube contains the tobacco and the second tube which covers the tobacco compartment allows the air to be channeled so that the smoke is drawn from one end to another only. of the device, so when the user turns on the stretch of the device filled with tobacco by sucking on the left side of the device, the tobacco is burning and the smoke passes on the right side of the device where the tobacco is contained on the left side where Γ The user inhales the smoke that passes through the interior of the three tubes. When the user does not draw smoke on the device, the tube sliding on the tobacco carrying tube must be pulled back and positioned on the left side of the ungrooved and unthreaded tube of the tobacco carrying tube so as to leave the compartment filled with tobacco in the open air so that the tobacco continues to burn; As soon as the user wants to smoke he puts the sliding tube back on the right side to cover the grooved and holed compartment containing the tobacco. The user will repeat these operations until the end of the total combustion of tobacco. Tobacco combustion can be interrupted voluntarily by positioning the sliding tube to cover the compartment containing the tobacco and that, without sucking smoke on the device, in this case the tobacco deprived of air will stop combustion. The user can after releasing the ash by tapping on the device to turn it on again by placing the sliding tube at the place of the compartment where the combustion of the tobacco was stopped or, to fill it with tobacco after making out ash by tapping on the device if it was completely consumed.
