Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates generally to smoking apparatuses.
  • smoking apparatuses that include an integrated retainer for holding in place a flexible screen are described.
  • Known smoking apparatuses are not entirely satisfactory for the range of applications in which they are employed. For example, the majority of existing smoking apparatuses are not capable of holding in place a screen located in a bowl area of the smoking apparatus. In addition, conventional smoking apparatuses that are capable of holding a screen in place often employ clamps or some other hardware in order for the screen to be held in place and must be disassembled in order for the flexible screen to be removed.
  • the present disclosure is directed to a smoking apparatus for a smoking product, including a substantially hollow stem defining a bore having a bore diameter, a bowl proximate the first end of the hollow stem, the bowl having an open end configured to receive the smoking product therethrough and a bottom end opposite the open end, the bowl further including: a screen retention area defined by the contour of the inner wall and disposed opposite the open end of the bowl and configured to selectively retain a flexible screen, the screen retention area further including: a screen retainer disposed proximal the bottom end of the bowl, and a lateral boundary region disposed adjacent the screen retainer and configured to receive a circumferential edge of a flexible screen, and a shoulder support disposed adjacent the lateral boundary region and protruding inwardly into the bore diameter of the bowl to support the flexible screen opposite the screen retainer.

  • smoking apparatus 40 reduces the inhalation of burning or vaporized smoking product from reaching a user's lungs by filtering out those harmful elements.
  • a flexible screen 42 is inserted into screen retention area 70 and reduces the likelihood of a user inhaling or ingesting any of the burning smoking material.
  • the smoking apparatuses described may be used with a varied assortment of glass, metal, ceramic or other heat resistant pipes and bongs, as well as hookah smoking devices.
  • hollow stem 50 refines a bore 51 having a bore diameter, where hollow stem 50 further includes a first end 52 , a second end 54 , an inner wall 56 , and a restricted-flow opening 58 .
  • First end 52 is disposed opposite second end 54 with restricted flow-opening 58 located proximal second end 54 .
  • Bore 51 encompasses the entire length of hollow stern 50 . Restricted-flow opening functions to reduce the likelihood of burning smoking product from being inhaled or ingested by the user.
  • bowl 60 is integrally coupled to and disposed proximal first end 52 and includes an open end 62 a bottom end 64 disposed opposite open end 62 , and a reinforced lip 66 located proximal open end 62 . Further, bowl 60 defines a bowl bore 61 having a bore diameter. A variety of different smoking products may be inserted into open end 62 of bowl 60 by the user for smoking enjoyment. Additionally, reinforced lip 66 reduces the possibility of damage to bowl 60 if the user drops smoking apparatus 40 onto a hard surface.
  • screen retention area 70 further includes a screen retainer 72 disposed proximal bottom end 64 of bowl 60 , a lateral boundary region 76 , and a shoulder support 80 .
  • Lateral boundary region 76 is disposed adjacent screen retainer 72 and extends across bore 61 diameter a distance greater than the, inside diameter of bowl 60 . Further, lateral boundary region 76 is configured to receive a circumferential edge of flexible screen 42 .
  • Screen retainer 72 defines a restricted opening 74 that is less than the outer diameter of flexible screen 42 . Once inserted beyond screen retainer 72 , flexible screen 42 is held securely in place in lateral boundary region 76 and may not inadvertently fall out of screen retention area 70 .
