Windscreen for rolling cigarettes cross-reference to related applications

Abstract

The invention is a device to aid in the hand rolling of cigarettes. The device provides a working space shielded from wind and drafts. The device is a windscreen in the shape of a three-sided box with no top or bottom. The windscreen is set on its narrow edge on the flat surface of a rolling tray creating a working space protected from wind and drafts.

1 . A windscreen comprising: a three-dimensional rectangular piece where the rectangular piece has a first end and a second end; where the rectangular piece is folded along the width of the first end and the second end, to form a three-sided box, where the box does not have a top or bottom. 
     
     
         2 . Where the windscreen of  claim 1  is made of a solid or flexible material. 
     
     
         3 . Where the material of  claim 2  is selected from the group consisting essentially of: plastic, polyacrylic, polycarbonate, polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene, paper, corrugated paper, cardboard, wood, bamboo, metal, or foil. 
     
     
         4 . Where the windscreen of  claim 3  has an anti-slip device is applied to one of the narrow edges of the rectangular piece. 
     
     
         5 . Where the anti-slip device of  claim 4  is a magnet or a piece of rubber. 
     
     
         6 . A windscreen comprising: a three-dimensional rectangular piece having a length, a width, and a depth; where the length is greater than the width, and the width is greater than the depth; where the rectangular piece has a first end and a second end; where the piece is folded along the width of the first end and the second end to form a three-sided box; where the box has no top or bottom. 
     
     
         7 . The windscreen of  claim 6  where the windscreen is made of a solid or flexible material. 
     
     
         8 . The windscreen of  claim 7  where the solid material is selected from the group consisting essentially of: plastic, polyacrylic, polycarbonate, polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene, paper, corrugated paper, cardboard, wood, bamboo, metal, or foil. 
     
     
         9 . Where the windscreen of  claim 8  has an anti-slip device is applied to one of the narrow edges of the three-sided box. 
     
     
         10 . Where the anti-slip device of  claim 9  is a magnet or a piece of rubber. 
     
     
         11 . The windscreen of  claim 10  where outer dimensions of the three-sided box is less than the inner dimensions of the flat surface of a rectangular rolling tray. 
     
     
         12 . The windscreen of  claim 10  where the outer dimensions of the three-sided box fits within the inner diameter of the flat surface of a circular or oval rolling tray. 
     
     
         13 . The windscreen of  claim 10  where the outer dimensions of the three-sided box fits within the inner dimensions of the flat surface of a rectangular rolling tray, where the outer dimensions of the rectangular rolling tray are: 5×7×1 inches, 11×7×2 inches, 13×11×2 inches, or 12×6×2 inches. 
     
     
         14 . A method for preventing disruption of rolling a cigarette by placing the windscreen of  claim 10  on a rolling tray by contacting the edge having the magnet or rubber piece to the flat surface of the rolling tray and placing the smoking accoutrements within the inner dimensions of the three-sided box and rolling a cigarette. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14  where the outer dimensions of the rectangular rolling tray are: 5×7×1 inches, 11×7×2 inches, 13×11×2 inches, or 12×6×2 inches.
