Smokable Pulverized Leaf Structure

Abstract

A smokable pulverized leaf structure consisting of a smokable cylinder and a mold for producing the smokable cylinder. The smokable cylinder is made of one hundred-percent (100%) pulverized leaf, such as tobacco or cannabis . The mold has a plurality of plates that are maintained together in a geometric form by at least one strap. A rod is inserted into the mold and then a quantity of pulverized leaf is poured into the mold. Once the leaf is within the mold, a press is utilized to apply pressure around the mold, thus compressing the pulverized leaf within. After the pressure is applied the rod is removed. Additional pulverized leaf is then inserted into the space created when the rod is removed. With the space filled, a solid smokable cylinder of pulverized leaf, which does not require a wrapper to remain intact, is created.

1 . A smokable pulverized leaf structure (SPLS) comprising a smokable cylinder made of pulverized leaf and a mold for manufacturing said smokable cylinder, wherein said SPLS provides a person with the ability to smoke a pulverized leaf structure that is made entirely of pulverized leaf, without a requirement of a paper wrapper or the inclusion of additives or chemicals to the pulverized leaf. 
     
     
         2 . The smokable pulverized leaf structure as specified in  claim 1  wherein said smokable cylinder has a geometric shape. 
     
     
         3 . The smokable pulverized leaf structure as specified in  claim 1  wherein said pulverized leaf is comprised of tobacco. 
     
     
         4 . The smokable pulverized leaf structure as specified in  claim 1  wherein said pulverized leaf is comprised of  cannabis.    
     
     
         5 . A smokable pulverized leaf structure (SPLS) that provides a person with the ability to smoke a pulverized leaf structure that is made entirely of pulverized leaf, without a requirement of a paper wrapper surrounding the pulverized leaf or the inclusion of additives or chemicals to the pulverized leaf, wherein said SPLS is comprised of:
 a) a smokable cylinder having an outer surface, a first end, and a second end, and   b) a mold for manufacturing said smokable cylinder, wherein said mold comprises a plurality of plates that are placed adjacent to each other, forming a geometric enclosure with an upper surface and a lower surface; at least one strap that is placed around the plates to maintain the shape and position of the plates; a first opening that extends downward longitudinally through the plates at the center of the upper surface, where the plates intersect; a second opening at the lower surface of the plates; and a rod that is inserted into the second opening, wherein a quantity of pulverized leaf is inserted into said mold via the first opening, wherein once the pulverized leaf is inserted, said mold is placed on a press where pressure is applied, wherein after the pressure is applied, the solid rod is removed, and a hollow tube is placed above a hard shell of compressed pulverized leaf within said mold, wherein a hollow tube filled with pulverized leaf is placed above the shell, and a solid rod is inserted into the hollow tube to push the pulverized leaf within the tube into the shell, wherein said mold is then removed, exposing a solid smokable cylinder of pulverized leaf.   
     
     
         6 . The smokable pulverized leaf structure as specified in  claim 6  wherein said smokable cylinder has a geometric shape. 
     
     
         7 . The smokable pulverized leaf structure as specified in  claim 6  wherein said pulverized leaf is comprised of tobacco. 
     
     
         8 . The smokable pulverized leaf structure as specified in  claim 6  wherein said pulverized leaf is comprised of  cannabis.    
     
     
         9 . The smokable pulverized leaf structure as specified in  claim 6  wherein said pulverized leaf is comprised of a combination of various types of smokable pulverized leaves. 
     
     
         10 . The smokable pulverized leaf structure as specified in  claim 6  wherein the plurality of plates is comprised of four plates. 
     
     
         11 . The smokable pulverized leaf structure as specified in  claim 6  wherein each said plate is made of a metal or plastic. 
     
     
         12 . The smokable pulverized leaf structure as specified in  claim 6  wherein the length of the plates determines the size of said smokable cylinder. 
     
     
         13 . The smokable pulverized leaf structure as specified in  claim 6  wherein the length of each said at least one strap is determined by the dimension of the geometrically arranged plates. 
     
     
         14 . The smokable pulverized leaf structure as specified in  claim 6  further comprising a binding agent that is applied to the shell of pulverized leaf to increase the structural integrity of the shell. 
     
     
         15 . The smokable pulverized leaf structure as specified in  claim 15  wherein the binding agent is made of a substance selected from the group consisting of wax, an oil, honey, sugar and water, or flour. 
     
     
         16 . The smokable pulverized leaf structure as specified in  claim 6  further comprising a funnel that is utilized to insert the pulverized leaf into the first opening, wherein the funnel extends upward from the first opening and is integrally attached to said mold or is a separate component. 
     
     
         17 . The smokable pulverized leaf structure as specified in  claim 11  further comprising each of the four plates having a corner section cut into a 90-degree arc, wherein when the four plates are placed together and the cut corner sections intersect, a 260-degree circular opening is created. 
     
     
         18 . The smokable pulverized leaf structure as specified in  claim 6  further comprising a mouthpiece that is dimensioned to fit onto sand be frictionally maintained on one end of the smokable cylinder, wherein the mouthpiece is made of pulverized leaf, preferably with a binding agent to maintain the shape of the mouthpiece. 
     
     
         19 . The smokable pulverized leaf structure as specified in  claim 6  further comprising a screen having a mesh of a selectable size through which the pulverized leaf passes to selectively control the size and uniformity of the pulverized leaf. 
     
     
         20 . The smokable pulverized leaf structure as specified in  claim 6  further comprising heat that is applied to the pulverized leaf that is inside or outside the mold, wherein the heat functions to harden the leaf, thereby producing a smokable cylinder with a hard outer surface.
