Smoking Device

Abstract

The present invention is a smoking device comprising a glass housing having forward and rear open end portions and an inner portion. The smoking device further comprises a mouthpiece engaged with the rear open end portion of the housing. The smoking device includes screen member that is movable along the inner surface of the housing in response to the application of a magnetic field thereto. The magnetic field may be created by a power source located on a spacer member along the exterior surface of the housing or a power source associated with the screen member along the inner surface of the housing. The application of the magnetic field causes the corresponding movement of a screen member in the interior of the housing in response to the application of a magnetic force.

         1 . A device for consuming a smoking material comprising:
 an elongate housing comprising a forward open end portion, a rear end portion, and an inner and outer surface:   A screen member movable along the inner surface of the housing;   A source of magnetic force movable along the housing wherein forward or rearward movement of the magnetic force causes the screen member to correspondingly move along the inner surface of the housing; and   A mouthpiece engaged with said rear end portion of said housing.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein a spacer member magnetically causes the screen member to correspondingly move along the inner surface of the housing. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein at least one of spacer and said screen member are formed of a magnetic material. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein a spacer is formed of a magnetic material and magnetically causes the screen member to correspondingly move along the inner surface of the housing. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said screen member is formed of a magnetic material. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said screen member is a cylindrical member extending along the inner surface of the housing and wherein said screen member is movable forwardly and rearwardly along the inner surface of the housing in response to the application of a magnetic force thereto. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the screen member is a generally cylindrical member having at least one passageway extending therethrough and wherein the screen member is movable forwardly and rearwardly along the inner surface of the housing in response to the application of a magnetic field thereto. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein movement of a spacer member along the housing causes the corresponding movement of the screen member along the housing without physical contact between the spacer member and screen member. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the mouthpiece is engaged with said rear end portion of said housing and said mouthpiece comprises a front surface, a rear surface, and a first air passageway extending from said front surface to said rear surface and in communication with said inner portion of said housing. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the screen member includes a power source associated therewith and the inner surface of the housing includes a coiled wire therein between the forward open end portion and the rear end portion. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 10 , wherein the screen member includes a pair of magnetic members adjacent to the power source along the inner surface of the housing. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 1  wherein a spacer includes an inner surface positioned adjacent to the outer surface of the housing and the inner surface thereof includes a friction reducing material thereon. 
     
     
         13 . A device for consuming a smoking material comprising:
 an elongate and generally cylindrical housing comprising a forward open end portion, a rear end portion, and an inner and outer surface;   a screen member movable along the inner surface of the housing;   a spacer movable along the outer surface of the housing wherein forward or rearward movement of the spacer causes the screen member to correspondingly move along the inner surface of the housing and wherein said spacer is a cylindrical member movably extending along the outer surface of the housing; and   a mouthpiece engaged with said rear end portion of said housing and said mouthpiece comprises a front surface, a rear surface, and a first air passage way extending from said front surface to said rear surface and in communication with said inner portion of said housing.   
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 13 , wherein at least one of said spacer and said screen member are formed of a magnetic material. 
     
     
         15 . (canceled) 
     
     
         16 . (canceled) 
     
     
         17 . A device for consuming a smoking material comprising:
 a generally cylindrical housing comprising a forward open end portion, a rear end portion, and an inner and outer surface;   a screen member movable along the inner surface of the housing wherein the screen member is a generally cylindrical member having at least one passageway extending therethrough;   a spacer movable along the outer surface of the housing wherein forward or rearward movement of the spacer causes the screen member to correspondingly move along the inner surface of the housing and wherein said spacer is a cylindrical member movably extending forwardly and rearwardly along the outer surface of the housing;   a mouthpiece engaged with said rear end portion of said housing and said mouthpiece comprises a front surface, a rear surface, and a first air passage way extending from said front surface to said rear surface and in communication with said inner portion of said housing; and   wherein at least one of said spacer member and said screen member are formed of a magnetic material.   
     
     
         18 . The device of  claim 17  wherein the spacer includes a coiled wire and power source thereon to apply a magnetic field to the screen member upon the actuation of a switch member associated with the spacer. 
     
     
         19 . The device of  claim 17  wherein movement of the spacer member along the housing causes the corresponding movement of the screen member along the housing via the application of a magnetic force thereto without physical contact between the spacer member and screen member. 
     
     
         20 . The device of  claim 17  wherein the screen member is a generally cylindrical member having at least one passageway extending therethrough and wherein the screen member is movable forwardly and rearwardly along the inner surface of the housing via magnetic forces in response to movement of the spacer along the housing without physical contact between the spacer member and the screen member.
