Artificial cigar device

Abstract

An Artificial Cigar Device designed and configured to have the appearance and feel of an actual cigar, but actually is artificial, contains no chemicals, and acts as a pacifier for individuals wishing to quit smoking. The Artificial Cigar Device is structured and configured to depict an actual cigar and is fabricated from a soft, chewable, washable and durable material such as medical grade liquid silicone rubber comprised of an approximate range of forty-sixty durometer with a pleasant scent. Said scent ingredients such as vanilla or the like of said non-toxic semi-rigid polymeric material for the artificial cigar shaft member are also absorbed into said absorbent material. The Artificial Cigar Device is also comprised of a cylindrical band affixed around the front end of said shaft member thereby simulating the appearance of an actual cigar wrap. In addition, each Artificial Cigar Device will be packaged in it's own reusable container for storage. The Artificial Cigar Device may be also chewed and washed with warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly prior to reuse and is dishwasher safe.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A simulated cigar anti-smoking device for non-burning use which does not depend on the use of oxygen or the use of mouth-operated valve assembly for dispensing oxygen, or the use of tobacco flavor and is not a toy nor does it have the open end surface of a toy cigar.  
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the exterior of said shaft member is designed, structured and configured to have the same size, shape, color and feel of a cigar but contains no chemicals so as to simulate the appearance of a conventional cigar.  
     
     
         3 . The simulated cigar anti-smoking device of  claim 1 , wherein said device excludes a closure at the front end of said device to facilitate the charging of a container with powdered material and excludes the use of powdered material.  
     
     
         4 . The simulated cigar anti-smoking device of  claim 1 , wherein said non-toxic semi-ridgid polymeric material for the shaft member is selected from the group consisting essentially of: 
 a soft, washable and durable medical grade liquid silicone rubber comprised of an approximate range of forty-sixty durometer, transparent, high tear, liquid silicon rubber.    
     
     
         5 . The simulated cigar anti-smoking device of  claim 1 , wherein said scent ingredients of said non-toxic semi-rigid polymeric material for the shaft member are also absorbent material.  
     
     
         6 . The group consisting of  claim 3 , wherein said scent ingredients are selected from the group consisting of; 
 vanilla, or coconut, strawberry, chocolate, peach, cherry, raspberry, grape and mint scent.    
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 5 , further comprising, 
 A cylindrical band affixed around the front end of said shaft member, said band being adapted to simulate the appearance of a cigar wrap.    
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 5 , further comprising; 
 A feature of said shaft member which is chewable and washable as well as dish washer safe.    
     
     
         9 . A simulated cigar container device comprising an individual package with a sealed plug type tube featuring a printed label on said container.  
     
     
         10 . A method of fabricating forty-sixty durometer, transparent high tear liquid silicone rubber comprising the steps of; 
 Vulcanized by mixing part A with part B in a ratio of 1:1 with the application of heat. Cure initiation is exhibited at 118° C.    
     
     
         11 . The method as in  claim 9  wherein said scent and said coloring ingredients of said nontoxic semiridgid liquid silicone rubber for the shaft member are also absorbed into said absorbent liquid silicone rubber consisting essentially of Titanium Dioxide comprising about 10 mg/M3 to 15 mg/M3; 
 and Carbon Black 3.5 mg/M3;  
 Red Iron Oxide 5 mg/M3;  
 Yellow Iron Oxide 10 mg/M3 to 15 mg/M3;  
 Vanilla 97+%  
 Divinyl Silicone Fluid.
