Abstract

A self-light smoking tool includes a portable inhaler tube having an inhaling end, an opposed lighter-adapter end, and a treatment chamber for receiving a smoking element therein. A lighter includes a flame producing portion detachably coupling with the lighter-adapter end of the inhaler tube. The inhaler tube further includes a plurality of ventilating slots spacedly formed at a surrounding wall at a position closed to the lighter-adapter end. Therefore, the self-light smoking tool is extremely portable and has its own lighter such that the user is able to always carry a self-lighting smoking tool with him for smoking purpose.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A self-lighting smoking tool, comprising:
 a portable inhaler tube having an inhaling end, an opposed lighter-adapter end, and a treatment chamber for receiving a smoking element therein; and   a lighter having a flame producing portion detachably coupling with said lighter-adapter end of said inhaler tube, wherein said lighter is adapted for controllably producing a flame at said flame producing portion towards said treatment chamber to burn said smoking element therein, such that once a smoke is generated, said smoke is inhaled at said inhaling end of said inhaler tube.   
   
   
       2 . The self-lighting smoking tool, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said inhaler tube further contains a plurality of ventilating slots spacedly formed at a surrounding wall at a position closed to said lighter-adapter end, wherein each of said ventilating slots is a through slot not only for releasing excessive heat from said lighter when said flame is generated to said treatment chamber but also for enabling ambient air entering into said treatment chamber when said smoke is inhaled at said inhaling end of said inhaler tube. 
   
   
       3 . The self-lighting smoking tool, as recited in  claim 2 , wherein said inhaler tube has an elongated structure that said inhaling end is coaxially aligned with said lighter-adapter end. 
   
   
       4 . The self-lighting smoking tool, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said inhaler tube comprises a bottom filtering net mounted therein as a bottom wall of said treatment chamber for preventing said smoking element falling to said flame producing portion of said lighter. 
   
   
       5 . The self-lighting smoking tool, as recited in  claim 3 , wherein said inhaler tube comprises a bottom filtering net mounted therein as a bottom wall of said treatment chamber for preventing said smoking element falling to said flame producing portion of said lighter. 
   
   
       6 . The self-lighting smoking tool, as recited in  claim 4 , wherein said inhaler tube comprises an upper filtering net mounted therein as an upper wall of said treatment chamber for retaining said smoking element between said upper and bottom filtering nets. 
   
   
       7 . The self-lighting smoking tool, as recited in  claim 5 , wherein said inhaler tube comprises an upper filtering net mounted therein as an upper wall of said treatment chamber for retaining said smoking element between said upper and bottom filtering nets. 
   
   
       8 . The self-lighting smoking tool, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said inhaler tube comprises a tubular inhaling guider defining said inhaling end and said treatment chamber thereat, and a tubular lighter guider which is defining said lighter-adapter end thereat and is detachably and coaxially coupling with said inhaling guider end-to-end. 
   
   
       9 . The self-lighting smoking tool, as recited in  claim 5 , wherein said inhaler tube comprises a tubular inhaling guider defining said inhaling end and said treatment chamber thereat, and a tubular lighter guider which is defining said lighter-adapter end thereat and is detachably and coaxially coupling with said inhaling guider end-to-end. 
   
   
       10 . The self-lighting smoking tool, as recited in  claim 9 , wherein said ventilating slots are spacedly formed at said surrounding wall of said lighter guider at a position that said ventilating slots are located below said bottom filtering net. 
   
   
       11 . The self-lighting smoking tool, as recited in  claim 10 , wherein said upper and bottom filtering nets are formed at said inhaling guider and said lighter guider respectively. 
   
   
       12 . The self-lighting smoking tool, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said inhaler tube has an inner threaded portion provided at said lighter-adapter end, wherein said lighter has an outer threaded portion provided at said flame producing portion to detachably engage with said inner thread portion of said inhaler tube so as to coaxially couple said lighter with said inhaler tube. 
   
   
       13 . The self-lighting smoking tool, as recited in  claim 11 , wherein said inhaler tube has an inner threaded portion provided at said lighter-adapter end, wherein said lighter has an outer threaded portion provided at said flame producing portion to detachably engage with said inner thread portion of said inhaler tube so as to coaxially couple said lighter with said inhaler tube. 
   
   
       14 . The self-lighting smoking tool, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said lighter, which is a piezoelectric-type lighter, comprises an elongated lighter casing and a flame nozzle extended to a top end of said lighter casing to define said flame producing portion of said lighter, wherein when said top end of said lighter casing is detachably coupled with said lighter-adapter end of said inhaler tube, said lighter is controllably actuated to produce a torch flame towards said treatment chamber of said inhaler tube. 
   
   
       15 . The self-lighting smoking tool, as recited in  claim 13 , wherein said lighter, which is a piezoelectric-type lighter, comprises an elongated lighter casing and a flame nozzle extended to a top end of said lighter casing to define said flame producing portion of said lighter, wherein when said top end of said lighter casing is detachably coupled with said lighter-adapter end of said inhaler tube, said lighter is controllably actuated to produce a torch flame towards said treatment chamber of said inhaler tube. 
   
   
       16 . A self-lighting smoking tool, comprising a portable inhaler tube having an inhaling end, an opposed lighter-adapter end, and a treatment chamber for receiving a smoking element therein, wherein said inhaler tube has an elongated structure that said inhaling end is coaxially aligned with said lighter-adapter end, wherein said lighter-adapter end of said inhaler tube is adapted for detachably coupling with a flame producing portion of a lighter, such that when said lighter is actuated to produce a flame at said flame producing portion towards said treatment chamber to burn said smoking element therein, a smoke is inhaled at said inhaling end of said inhaler tube. 
   
   
       17 . The self-lighting smoking tool, as recited in  claim 16 , wherein said inhaler tube further contains a plurality of ventilating slots spacedly formed at a surrounding wall at a position closed to said lighter-adapter end, wherein each of said ventilating slots is a through slot not only for releasing excessive heat from said lighter when said flame is generated to said treatment chamber but also for enabling ambient air entering into said treatment chamber when said smoke is inhaled at said inhaling end of said inhaler tube. 
   
   
       18 . The self-lighting smoking tool, as recited in  claim 17 , further comprising a detachable mouthpiece detachably coupling with said inhaling end of said inhaler tube for inhaling said smoke thereat. 
   
   
       19 . The self-lighting smoking tool, as recited in  claim 18 , wherein said inhaler tube comprises a bottom filtering net mounted therein as a bottom wall of said treatment chamber for preventing said smoking element falling to said flame producing portion of said lighter, and an upper filtering net mounted therein as an upper wall of said treatment chamber for retaining said smoking element between said upper and bottom filtering nets. 
   
   
       20 . The self-lighting smoking tool, as recited in  claim 5 , wherein said inhaler tube comprises a tubular inhaling guider defining said inhaling end and said treatment chamber thereat, and a tubular lighter guider which is defining said lighter-adapter end thereat and is detachably and coaxially coupling with said inhaling guider end-to-end, wherein said ventilating slots are spacedly formed at said surrounding wall of said lighter guider at a position that said ventilating slots are located below said bottom filtering net, wherein said upper and bottom filtering nets are formed at said inhaling guider and said lighter guider respectively.
