Adjustable cigarette holder

Abstract

An example adjustable cigarette holder includes a mouthpiece, a nozzle, the mouthpiece connected to a first end of a nozzle, the mouthpiece removable from the nozzle. The example adjustable cigarette holder further includes a housing linearly lined up with the nozzle, a first end of the housing connected to a second end of the nozzle. The example adjustable cigarette holder further includes a horn, the horn linearly lined up with the housing, a first end of the horn connected to a second end of the housing, a hollow airway running through the horn, the housing, the nozzle and the mouthpiece. The example adjustable cigarette holder further includes a clamp, the opening of the clamp is towards the second end of the horn. The example adjustable cigarette holder further includes a sleeve that actuates the clamp between an open position and a closed position.

1 . An adjustable cigarette holder comprising:
 a mouthpiece;   a nozzle, the mouthpiece linearly connected to a first end of a nozzle, the nozzle lining up a hollow airway with the mouthpiece, the mouthpiece removable from the nozzle;   a housing linearly connected to the nozzle and the mouthpiece, a first end of the housing connected to a second end of the nozzle, the housing lining up the hollow airway with the nozzle and the mouthpiece;   a horn linearly connected to the housing, a first end of the horn connected to a second end of the housing, the horn lining up the hollow airway with the housing, the nozzle, and the mouthpiece;   a clamp connected to the horn, the clamp biased towards an open position, the opening of the clamp towards a second end of the horn; and   a sleeve that encloses the clamp, the sleeve actuating the clamp to change incrementally between an open position and a closed position.   
     
     
         2 . The adjustable cigarette holder of  claim 1 , wherein the clamp is composed of at least two fingers. 
     
     
         3 . The adjustable cigarette holder of  claim 1 , wherein the mouthpiece is connected to the nozzle using a magnet. 
     
     
         4 . The adjustable cigarette holder of  claim 1 , wherein the mouthpiece is connected to the nozzle using at least one o-ring in a sealed fit. 
     
     
         5 . The adjustable cigarette holder of  claim 1 , wherein an air ring surrounds the nozzle, the air ring rotatable about the nozzle to allow an opening on the air ring to line up with the hollow airway, rotation of the air ring allowing a variable percentage of air to be mixed with cigarette smoke; 
     
     
         6 . The adjustable cigarette holder of  claim 1 , further comprising a filter to be placed within the housing. 
     
     
         7 . The adjustable cigarette holder of  claim 1 , wherein the clamp is biased towards an open position using a spring. 
     
     
         8 . The adjustable cigarette holder of  claim 7 , wherein the sleeve rotates around the horn along a threads. 
     
     
         9 . The adjustable cigarette holder of  claim 1 , wherein the sleeve connects to a locking mechanism, the locking mechanism to allow the sleeve to move in its unlocked position, the locking mechanism to stop the sleeve from moving in its locked position. 
     
     
         10 . The adjustable cigarette holder of  claim 9 , wherein the locking mechanism may lock the sleeve in pre-positioned locations, allowing for preset amounts of actuation on the clamp. 
     
     
         11 . A method of inserting a cigarette into an adjustable cigarette holder, the method comprising:
 moving a sleeve on the adjustable cigarette holder to actuate a clamp to an open position, the sleeve enclosing the clamp;   inserting the cigarette into a horn, the cigarette to be placed on a funnel shaped end of the horn;   moving the sleeve on the adjustable cigarette holder to actuate the clamp to a closed position, the clamp holding the cigarette in place; and   attaching a mouthpiece to a nozzle, the mouthpiece, when attached, connected linearly to the nozzle on a first end of the nozzle, the nozzle further linearly connected to a housing and the horn on a second end, a hollow airway configured to run from the mouthpiece through the nozzle, the housing, and the horn to allow smoke from the cigarette to reach the mouthpiece.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the clamp is composed of at least two fingers. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the mouthpiece is connected to the nozzle using a magnet. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the mouthpiece is connected to the nozzle using at least one o-ring in a sealed fit. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein an air ring surrounds the nozzle, the air ring rotatable about the nozzle to allow an opening on the air ring to line up with the hollow airway, rotation of the air ring allowing a variable percentage of air to be mixed with cigarette smoke; 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein a filter is placed within the housing. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the clamp is biased towards an open position using a spring. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising unlocking a locking mechanism to allow the sleeve to move prior to moving the sleeve; and locking the locking mechanism to stop the sleeve from moving after actuating the clamp to a closed position. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein the locking mechanism may lock the sleeve in pre-positioned locations, allowing for preset amounts of actuation on the clamp.
