Smoking apparatus

Abstract

A smoking apparatus for positioning smoking material and for collecting ash residue from the smoking material. The smoking apparatus highlights its safety of use by smokers who may fall asleep while smoking, thus preventing house fires, damage to property and smoker burn injury. The smoking apparatus also protects against careless smokers from burning themselves or their clothes when they inadvertently drop whatever they are smoking.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A smoking apparatus, comprising:
 a spout;   a holder portion, releasably connected to said spout, wherein said holder portion is configured to receive smoking material; and   a receptacle portion, wherein said receptacle portion is releasably connected to said holder portion, wherein said receptacle portion is configured to receive ash residue generated from smoking of said smoking material within said holder portion, and wherein said spout, said holder portion and said receptacle portion, when releasably connected, form an interconnected interior channel.   
     
     
         2 . The smoking apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said holder portion comprises of at least one fenestration on its surface for air flow into said holder portion. 
     
     
         3 . The smoking apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said holder portion comprises of at least one slit opening on its surface for air flow into said holder portion 
     
     
         4 . The smoking apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said holder portion comprises of a door on its surface, wherein said door provides access for placement of said smoking material. 
     
     
         5 . The smoking apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein said door is hinged. 
     
     
         6 . The smoking apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said smoking material may be any one or more of: a cigarette, a cigar, tobacco, a cigarillo. 
     
     
         7 . The smoking apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said receptacle portion comprises of a detachable base. 
     
     
         8 . The smoking apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein said detachable base may be screwed onto said receptacle portion. 
     
     
         9 . The smoking apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said holder portion comprises of at least one cross-sectional adapter within said holder portion, wherein said cross-sectional adapter keeps said smoking material in place. 
     
     
         10 . The smoking apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said holder portion comprises of at least one cross-sectional opening proximate said receptacle portion, wherein said at least one cross-sectional opening enables ash residue to fall into said receptacle portion. 
     
     
         11 . The smoking apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said spout comprises of a filter. 
     
     
         12 . The smoking apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said smoking apparatus comprises of a cylindrical cross-section. 
     
     
         13 . The smoking apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said smoking apparatus comprises of a triangular cross-section. 
     
     
         14 . The smoking apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said smoking apparatus comprises of a rectangular cross-section. 
     
     
         15 . The smoking apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said holder portion is releasably connected with said spout by a screw apparatus between said spout and said holder portion. 
     
     
         16 . The smoking apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said holder portion is releasably connected with said receptacle portion by a screw apparatus between said receptacle portion and said holder portion.
