Definitions

  • the invention relates generally to smoking accessories, in particular bong and water pipes.
  • Bongs and water pipes are accessories for inhaling smoke from burning organic matter, such as tobacco and cannabis.
  • the smoke contains THC, CBD, other cannabinoids, terpenes, tar, and fine particulate matter (ash).
  • the smoke passes through a column of water to extract certain compounds while cooling down the smoke before inhalation.
  • the smoke there is usually a splash of the bong/ water pipe water that gets into the user'3s mouth causing an unpleasant taste and experience.
  • a smoking accessory for use with a bong comprising: a thin-walled cup having a plurality of spaced apart ventilation holes in sides of the cup.
  • the ventilation holes may be divided into groups of 5-10 holes, the groups being spaced-apart from each other.
  • the ventilation holes may occupy 10-70% of the area of the sides.
  • the cup may be made of stainless steel or a food-safe material.
  • the cup may weigh between 5 and 30 grams.
  • the cup shape may be one of: conical, cylinder with a base, open-ended hemisphere, or frusto-conical.
  • a method of using a bong or water pipe comprising: filling the bong/water pipe with water; adding organic matter in a burning chamber and burning the matter; placing a cup within the neck of the bong/water pipe; inhaling smoke from the burning matter through the water and through ventilation holes in the cup.
  • the end of the cup may rest on the shoulder of ice wedges of the bong/ water pipe.
  • the cup may be arranged with its open side facing down.
  • the cup may be arranged with its open side facing up and further comprising filing the cup with ice.
  • preferred embodiments of the invention enable the accessory to prevent splash of bong water up the neck of the bong.
  • Similar reference numerals indicate similar components having the following key:1) smoking accessory, 2) Bong/ Water Pipe, 3) Ice Wedges, 4) Bong/ Water Piper Water, 5) Smoke, 6) Ice, 10) ventilation holes, 8) base, and 9) sides.
  • the insert 2 is generally cup-shaped, frustoconical-shaped or conical-shaped having sides 9, base/apex 8, open end 12, and vent holes 10.
  • the insert can be placed into the neck of the bong to pass the smoke from the bong water to the user, preventing splash and optionally cool the smoke.
  • the insert may rest on the ice wedges 15 or engage the neck of the bong in an interference fit.
  • the insert may be placed into the neck of the bong in either direction: cup face down for simple splash prevention ( Fig 1A ) OR cup face up to hold ice that cools the smoke ( Fig 1B ).
  • the cone angle may be 10-20°, preferably about 15°, as seen in Figure 2 .
  • the height of the cup may be 25-40mm with a circumference of 20-50mm.
  • the insert is faceup (i.e. the open end is facing up) to hold ice.
  • the ice does not touch the bong sides and is less affected by the user's warm hands, which makes the ice last longer.
  • the user puts ice in the neck of the bong/ water pipe and the ice is held inside the cup, which rests on top of the ice wedges.
  • the ventilation holes provide a way for the smoke to pass while guarding against splash.
  • the holes may be 1-2mm in diameter.
  • the holes are spaced apart, preferably evenly spaced apart or divided into groups of plural (5-10) holes. The groupings provide an increased area of smooth surface to aid in washing, as the edges of the holes tend to be harder to clean.
  • the holes may be drilled or punched into the sides and/or base of the cup.
  • the insert may take several forms: (a) open-topped hemisphere; (b) sphere;(c) cone; (d) tapered cylinder; (e) compressible cone.
  • the cup is made of stainless steel or a food-safe material. Certain materials such as plastic may be food-safe but tend to be hard to clean off the resin from the smoke. To prevent the insert being sucked up during use, the weight should be between 5 and 30 g.
  • the insert may be made from metal pressed into a die, punched and stamped. Or the insert may be made from sheet metal punched, rolled and tack welded.
  • the insert is resiliently deformable, so that the shape may be compressed, inserted into the neck of the bong and released to expand against the neck.
  • the insert may be made from a sufficiently thin sheet metal, preferable spring steel.
  • the insert wall thickness may be between 0.3 to 0.8 mm to balance strength, formability, and weight.
  • the insert may also comprise an axial slit that permits the sides to overlap when compressed laterally.
  • the cone E of Figure 3 has slit 20 that allows edges of the sides to deformably overlap and form a smaller radius cone.
  • the user places the matter (cannabis, tobacco) to be consumed into the bowl of the bong/water pipe. Then the cup is placed bottom up (inverted or open end facing down) within the neck of a bong/ water pipe, resting on the shoulder of the ice wedges. As the user lights the matter and consumes the smoke, it passes through the water to be filtered then up the ventilation holes in the cup to the user. Inversely, placing the frustoconical cup open side up enables it to hold ice to cool the smoke. With the ice separated from the bong increases the life of the ice. With the cup into the neck of the bong/ water pipe either way blocks the splash of bong water.
