One-piece stainless steel smoking pipe

Abstract

A unitary smoking pipe made of stainless steel is provided. The one-piece stainless steel construction is adapted to distribute the heat from the bowl cavity portion of the smoking pipe to the remaining portion of the body. Also, an air inlet extending through the body so as to fluidly communicate the bowl cavity to an opposing mouthpiece hole may do so at a downwardly angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the body, enabling a deeper bowl cavity.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A smoking pipe, comprising
 an elongated stainless steel body extending from a mouthpiece and to a bowl end;   a bowl cavity recessed into the bowl end;   a mouthpiece hole provided at the mouthpiece end; and   an air inlet extending within the elongated stainless steel so as to fluidly communicate the mouthpiece hole and the bowl cavity.   
     
     
         2 . The smoking pipe of  claim 1 , wherein the smoking pipe is of a unitary construction. 
     
     
         3 . The smoking pipe of  claim 1 , wherein the air inlet extends at a downward angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the elongated stainless steel body. 
     
     
         4 . The smoking pipe of  claim 3 , wherein the downward angle is approximately three degrees. 
     
     
         5 . The smoking pipe of  claim 1 , wherein the air inlet extends to a bottom portion of the bowl cavity. 
     
     
         6 . The smoking pipe of  claim 1 , further comprising a peripheral portion provided along a periphery of the elongated stainless steel body, wherein the peripheral portion is flat, dimensioned and adapted to support the elongated stainless steel body on a supporting surface so that the bowl cavity us upward-facing. 
     
     
         7 . A smoking pipe, comprising
 an elongated stainless steel body extending from a mouthpiece and to a bowl end, wherein the smoking pipe is of a unitary construction;   a bowl cavity recessed into the bowl end;   a mouthpiece hole provided at the mouthpiece end; and   an air inlet extending within the elongated stainless steel so as to fluidly communicate the mouthpiece hole and a bottom portion of the bowl cavity, wherein the air inlet extends at a downward angle of approximately three degrees relative to a longitudinal axis of the elongated stainless steel body; and   a peripheral portion provided along a periphery of the elongated stainless steel body, wherein the peripheral portion is flat, dimensioned and adapted to support the elongated stainless steel body on a supporting surface so that the bowl cavity us upward-facing.
