Tobacco Smoke Channeling Apparatus
Abstract
A disclosed system for channeling tobacco smoke from a user comprises an inner tube received into an outer tube to channel tobacco smoke from a cigarette. The inner tube comprises a seal between an overlap end of the inner tube and an overlap end of the outer tube. A mouthpiece receives the cigarette and a one-way valve defines at least one hole for an opposing air flow against an inner diaphragm based on a depression by the user's mouth on the cigarette and on the mouthpiece. The system additionally includes a pneumatic pump comprising the inner tube, the outer tube, the seal and a pump interface attached to a portion of the outer tube. The pump interface includes a connector to further channel the tobacco smoke. The system furthermore comprises a chamber including the mouthpiece and a segment of the inner tube, the chamber configured to completely enclose the cigarette.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A device for channeling tobacco smoke from a user, the method comprising:
a inner tube configured to be received into an outer tube to channel tobacco smoke from a cigarette, the inner tube comprising a seal between an overlap end of the inner tube and an overlap end of the outer tube; a mouthpiece configured to receive the cigarette and to include a one-way valve defining at least one hole for an opposing air flow around an inner diaphragm based on a depression of the mouthpiece by the user's mouth; and a pneumatic pump comprising the inner tube, the outer tube, the seal and a pump interface attached to a portion of the outer tube, the pump interface comprising a connector to further channel the tobacco smoke.
2 . The device for channeling tobacco smoke from a user of claim 1 , further comprising a chamber including the mouthpiece and a portion of the inner tube, the chamber configured to completely enclose the cigarette.
3 . The device for channeling tobacco smoke from a user of claim 1 , wherein the mouthpiece comprises outwardly protruding lips configured to seal against the cigarette and create an opposing outward force to a depression on the mouthpiece based on an inward pressure on the cigarette toward the chamber of the inner tube.
4 . The device for channeling tobacco smoke from a user of claim 1 , wherein the pump interface is disposed at an intermediate portion of the outer tube.
5 . The device for channeling tobacco smoke from a user of claim 1 , wherein the pump interface is disposed at an end of the outer tube opposite to the overlap end of the outer tube.
6 . The device for channeling tobacco smoke from a user of claim 1 , further comprising a container in communication with the pump interface connector via a flexible hose, the container configured to contain the cigarette smoke for processing and/or evacuation.
7 . The device for channeling tobacco smoke from a user of claim 1 , further comprising a hand grip disposed on the inner tube, the hand grip configured to facilitate an oscillating pumping motion of the inner tube within the outer tube.
8 . The device for channeling tobacco smoke from a user of claim 1 , further comprising a duckbill valve configured to house an inline filter and screen.
9 . The device for channeling tobacco smoke from a user of claim 1 , wherein the pump interface connector comprises a mallet like dual end, a first end thereof to gather ashes and a second end thereof to house a filter and connect to a flexible hose.
10 . The device for channeling tobacco smoke from a user of claim 1 , wherein the pump interface connector comprises a mallet like dual end configured as a hand and foot grip on the outer tube.
11 . The device for channeling tobacco smoke from a user of claim 1 , wherein the inner tube, the outer tube, the mouthpiece, the seal, the inline filter and the flexible hose connection are detachably connected.
12 . The device for channeling tobacco smoke from a user of claim 1 , further comprising a window mounted panel in communication with the flexible hose, the window mounted panel configured to vent the tobacco smoke from the hose outside.
13 . The device for channeling tobacco smoke from a user of claim 1 , wherein the seal comprises a single plurality of ‘o rings.’
14 . The device for channeling tobacco smoke from a user of claim 1 , wherein the diaphragm is a ceramic diaphragm configured as a heat shield.
15 . The device for channeling tobacco smoke from a user of claim 1 , wherein the inner diaphragm is configured integral to the mouthpiece and disposed around a first end of the inner tube opposite to the overlap end of the inner tube.
16 . A system for channeling tobacco smoke from a user, the system comprising a mouthpiece configured to receive a cigarette and to include an inner diaphragm configured to form a radial seal between the cigarette and an inner diameter of the mouthpiece based on an inhaling air flow through the cigarette, wherein the mouthpiece comprises a front end of outwardly protruding lips configured to seal against the cigarette and a bellows backend configured to seal against an exhaust tube containing the cigarette, the mouthpiece front end defining at least one hole for an exhausting air flow between the inner diaphragm and an enlarged inner diameter of the mouthpiece due to an inward depression of the mouthpiece by the user's mouth, wherein the mouthpiece creates an opposing outward force to the inward depression on the mouthpiece and seals against the inner diaphragm in an undepressed state.
17 . The system for channeling tobacco smoke from a user of claim 16 , the system further comprising a container in communication with the pump interface connector via a flexible exhaust hose, the container configured to contain the cigarette smoke for processing and/or evacuation.
18 . The system for channeling tobacco smoke from a user of claim 16 , wherein the inner diaphragm is a ceramic diaphragm configured as a heat shield against the burning tobacco.
19 . A method for channeling tobacco smoke from a user, the method comprising:
assembling an inner tube configured to be received into an outer tube to channel tobacco smoke from a cigarette, the inner tube comprising a seal between an overlap end of the inner tube and an overlap end of the outer tube; providing a mouthpiece configured to receive the cigarette and to include a one-way valve defining at least one hole for an opposing air flow around an inner diaphragm based on a depression of the mouthpiece by the user's mouth; and creating a pneumatic pump comprising the inner tube, the outer tube, the seal and a pump interface attached to a portion of the outer tube, the pump interface comprising a connector to further channel the tobacco smoke.
20 . The method for channeling tobacco smoke from a user of claim 19 , further comprising placing the pump interface at an intermediate portion of the outer tube.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
