ABSTRACT:
A tobacco pipe combustion maintenance accessory for maintaining continuous burning of tobacco in the bowl of a pipe once the tobacco is initially ignited. The device includes a generally flat body having a curvilinear concave reflective surface on one side of the body. When the body is held above the pipe bowl, the curvilinear surface, properly positioned, reflects heat and light waves emitting from the portion of burning tobacco back at the tobacco in focused or concentrated form to ignite the unlit portions of the tobacco at the point where the reflective rays focus. By manipulation of the device in very close proximity above the rim of the pipe bowl so that the rays are reflected downardly into the tobacco, the collected rays at their point of focus maintain the tobacco burning. The curvilinear surface is preferably a spherical segment and may also be structured similar to a fresnal lens having reflective concentric surfaces to achieve relative flatness and a shorter focal length. A preferred gold-colored reflective surface improves performance by more efficiently reflecting infrared rays. Various structures for holding the device are also provided.
