Abstract

A pipe smoking apparatus comprises a metal wire or filament having a linear proximal end, a linear distal end and a plurality of shaped windings, the plurality of said shaped windings between and connecting the linear proximal end to the linear distal end with a gas passage formed from the shaped windings and the space inside the shaped windings. The pipe smoking apparatus further comprises an ornamental handle on a proximal end and a cleaning accessory on the distal end. Use of the pipe smoking apparatus involves surrounding the shaped windings with tobacco or a tobacco-like substance, applying heat, inhaling the combusting smoke, manipulating the tobacco-like substance with the handle on the proximal end, and cleaning the pipe with the distal end.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A pipe smoking apparatus comprising:
 a malleable metal wire having a linear proximal end, a linear distal end and a plurality of shaped windings, the plurality of said shaped windings between and connecting the linear proximal end to the linear distal end configured to be surrounded by tobacco or a tobacco-like substance with gas passages formed from the said shaped windings and the space inside said shaped windings.   
     
     
         2 . The pipe smoking apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the thickness of the metal wire may vary. 
     
     
         3 . The pipe smoking apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the metal is steel or alloy steel. 
     
     
         4 . The pipe smoking apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the metal is silver or a silver alloy. 
     
     
         5 . The pipe smoking apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the metal is copper or a copper alloy. 
     
     
         6 . The pipe smoking apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the proximal end is connected to an ornamental handle. 
     
     
         7 . The pipe smoking apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the proximal end of said metal wire is shaped into an ornamental handle. 
     
     
         8 . The pipe smoking apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the distal end is shaped in the form of a point. 
     
     
         9 . The pipe smoking apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the distal end is shaped in the form of a scraping blade. 
     
     
         10 . A pipe smoking apparatus comprising;
 a malleable metal wire having a linear proximal end, a linear distal end and a plurality of helical coil windings, the plurality of said helical coil windings between and connecting the linear proximal end to the linear distal end configured to be surrounded by tobacco or a tobacco-like substance with gas passages formed from the said helical coil windings and the space inside the said helical windings.   
     
     
         11 . The pipe smoking apparatus of  claim 10  wherein the thickness of the metal may vary. 
     
     
         12 . The pipe smoking apparatus of  claim 10  wherein the metal is steel or alloy steel. 
     
     
         13 . The pipe smoking apparatus of  claim 10  wherein the metal is silver or a silver alloy. 
     
     
         14 . The pipe smoking apparatus of  claim 10  wherein the proximal end is connected to an ornamental handle. 
     
     
         15 . The pipe smoking apparatus of  claim 10  wherein the proximal end of said metal wire is shaped into an ornamental handle. 
     
     
         16 . The pipe smoking apparatus of  claim 10  wherein the proximal end of said metal wire is shaped into an ornamental handle. 
     
     
         17 . The pipe smoking apparatus of  claim 10  wherein the distal end is shaped in the form of a point. 
     
     
         18 . The pipe smoking apparatus of  claim 10  wherein the distal end is shaped in the form of a scraping blade. 
     
     
         19 . A method of smoking tobacco or tobacco-like substances using the pipe smoking apparatus of  claim 1  comprising the steps of:
 a. inserting the distal end of the pipe smoking apparatus into a pipe draft hole; 
 b. loading tobacco or tobacco-like substance around the shaped windings; 
 c. applying a heat source to the tobacco or tobacco-like substance; 
 d. manipulating the tobacco or tobacco-like substance by manipulating the ornamental handle; 
 e. emptying the combustion byproducts; 
 f. optionally using the said pipe smoking apparatus to clean the pipe bowl and draft hole.
