ABSTRACT:
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention is directed to an article that can be smoked in a manner similar to smoking a cigarette, cigar, or pipe, however, without the utilization of tobacco or other solid substances therein, and in particular, is directed to a vessel that contains smoke alone, under compression, and Favorable to the senses of smell and taste, and which is inhaled by the user.
BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION
Although the prior art discloses articles through which smoke from tobacco or non-tobacco solid substances is inhaled by the user or smoker, this inventive concept to the knowledge of the inventor is not taught or suggested by the prior art. Examples of prior art teachings known to the inventor are found in the following U.S. Pat. Nos: 198,341; 3,200,819; 3,320,953; 3,365,102; 3,674,037; 4,328,795; 4,813,438; and 5,150,724.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The inventive concept is directed to a vessel, such as a tubular member, having a chamber that contains a quantity of pressurized smoke, of a tobacco flavor or one or more other flavors pleasant to the human senses of smell and taste, and a mouthpiece through which the smoke is inhaled by the user or smoker. A pervious or permeable member is included in the vessel for controlling the flow of pressurized smoke that is to be inhaled, and a valve mechanism or assembly is provided at its other end, or elsewhere of the vessel, and by which smoke is introduced into the chamber and pressurized therein to fill up the chamber with a quantity of smoke under compression. The mouthpiece includes a plug having bores which engage or abut the thickness of and at the end of the wall(s) under the mouthpiece of the tube forming the vessel. The mouthpiece and tube are axially adjustable to one another so that by such adjustable connection, for example, by threaded means, the bored plug displaces to and from the tube's end to provide egress of the chambers smoke into and through its bores into the mouthpiece. Such adjustability provides the smoker of the amount of smoke intake from the mouthpiece as desired. The mouthpiece itself includes an airhole for admission of air that then is mixed with the smoke flowing through the mouthpiece to its tip at which the resulting mixture is inhaled into the mouth of the smoker.
An object of this invention is to provide a novel smoking article in which tobacco is not necessary.
Another object of the invention is to provide for the introduction of air into the article for mixing with, to a desired extent, the smoke to be inhaled.
A further object of the invention is to provide an enjoyable smoking article without the presence of nicotine or carcinogenic materials that are usually associated with tobacco and/or its smoke.
A still further object of the invention is to eliminate the danger of a smoke containing carcinogenic materials or products from entering the atmosphere and environment, and which could hinder the health of a person exposed to such materials or products.
A yet further object of this invention is to provide a personal enjoyment and satisfaction to the user in terms of the user's senses of taste and smell.
These and other objects and advantages will become more apparent upon a full and complete reading of the following description, its appended claims, and the accompanying drawing comprising one (1) sheet of three (3) FIGURES.
