Smoking pipe with pod

Abstract

A smoking pipe having a smoking pipe body, a mouthpiece end and a pod end. The smoking pipe body includes a cavity shaped to receive a pod holder. The cavity is located nearer to the pod end than to the mouthpiece end. The pod holder includes a pod cavity for receiving a pod. Magnetic material is positioned on the pod holder to securely hold, via a magnetic field, the pod to the pod holder. The pod includes a bowl for holding smoking material and a lip composed of material attracted to the magnetic material. A cover secures the smoking material within the bowl.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A smoking pipe, comprising:
 a smoking pipe body having a cavity shaped to receive a pod holder;   a mouthpiece end; and   a pod end, wherein the cavity is located nearer to the pod end than to the mouthpiece end;   wherein the pod holder comprises:
 a pod cavity for receiving a pod, and 
 magnetic material being positioned on the pod holder to securely hold, via a magnetic field, the pod to the pod holder; 
   wherein the pod comprises;
 a bowl for holding smoking material, 
 a lip composed of material attracted to the magnetic material, and 
 a cover for securing the smoking material within the bowl. 
   
     
     
         2 . A smoking pipe as in  claim 1 , wherein the smoking pipe body is composed of food-grade silicone. 
     
     
         3 . A smoking pipe as in  claim 1 , wherein a cross-section at or near the mouthpiece end is round and a cross-section at or near the pod end is square. 
     
     
         4 . A smoking pipe as in  claim 1 , wherein a cross-section at or near the mouthpiece end is round, a cross-section at or near the pod end is square and cross-sections when traversing the smoking pipe body from the mouthpiece end to the pod end gradually transform from round to square. 
     
     
         5 . A smoking pipe as in  claim 1 , wherein an edge at the mouthpiece end is rounded. 
     
     
         6 . A smoking pipe as in  claim 1 , wherein the pod end is sufficiently flat to allow the smoking pipe to stand with the pod end facing down. 
     
     
         7 . A smoking pipe as in  claim 1 , wherein the pod holder is composed of stainless steel. 
     
     
         8 . A smoking pipe as in  claim 1 , wherein the pod is composed of food-grade stainless steel mesh. 
     
     
         9 . A smoking pipe as in  claim 1 , wherein the cover is composed of food-grade stainless steel mesh that is placed over the bowl and is folded under the lip of the pod. 
     
     
         10 . A smoking pipe as in  claim 1 , wherein the cover is composed of food-grade stainless steel mesh, the cover being placed over the bowl and being folded under the lip of the pod to contain the smoking material and a top layer of smoking paper within the pod. 
     
     
         11 . A smoking pipe, comprising:
 a pod, the pod including:   a bowl for holding smoking material,   a lip composed of material that is attracted to a magnet, and   a cover for securing the smoking material within the bowl;   a pod holder, the pod holder including:   a pod cavity for receiving the pod, and   magnetic material being positioned on the pod holder to securely hold, via a magnetic field, the pod to the pod holder;   a smoking pipe body having a cavity shaped to receive a pod holder, the smoking pipe body including:   a mouthpiece end, and   a pod end, wherein the cavity is located nearer to the pod end than to the mouthpiece end.   
     
     
         12 . A smoking pipe as in  claim 11 , wherein the smoking pipe body is composed of food-grade silicone. 
     
     
         13 . A smoking pipe as in  claim 11 , wherein a cross-section at or near the mouthpiece end is round and a cross-section at or near the pod end is square. 
     
     
         14 . A smoking pipe as in  claim 11 , wherein a cross-section at or near the mouthpiece end is round, a cross-section at or near the pod end is square and cross-sections when traversing the smoking pipe body from the mouthpiece end to the pod end gradually transform from round to square. 
     
     
         15 . A smoking pipe as in  claim 11 , wherein an edge at the mouthpiece end is rounded. 
     
     
         16 . A smoking pipe as in  claim 11 , wherein the pod end is sufficiently flat to allow the smoking pipe to stand with the pod end facing down. 
     
     
         17 . A smoking pipe as in  claim 11 , wherein the pod holder is composed of stainless steel. 
     
     
         18 . A smoking pipe as in  claim 11 , wherein the pod is composed of food-grade stainless steel mesh. 
     
     
         19 . A smoking pipe as in  claim 11 , wherein the cover is composed of food-grade stainless steel mesh that is placed over the bowl and is folded under the lip of the pod. 
     
     
         20 . A smoking pipe as in  claim 11 , wherein the cover is composed of food-grade stainless steel mesh, the cover being placed over the bowl and being folded under the lip of the pod to contain the smoking material and a top layer of smoking paper within the pod.
