Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a smoke-saving capsule for a pipe that can be fitted into a hole in which tobacco is filled to achieve a smoke-saving or smoking cessation effect.

Recently, there has been a strong emphasis on the harm that smoking causes to health, and there has been a trend towards the designation of non-smoking areas in various public facilities, transportation facilities, etc. On the other hand, smokers tend to feel psychological pain and become irritated because they cannot smoke in such non-smoking areas. Therefore, several alternatives to cigarettes have been considered in such non-smoking areas, but none have reached the point where they are sufficiently effective. There are many possible reasons for this, but it is thought that one of the factors is the use of a different type of device than those normally used for smoking. Therefore, it is possible to attach the device to the pipe that is normally used for smoking, but pipes come in various shapes and sizes,
In order to use them, it is necessary to prepare various shapes and sizes, which is inconvenient and undesirable as it results in an increase in price.

The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a smoke-saving capsule for pipes that can be commonly used for pipes of various shapes and sizes, and can therefore be manufactured at low cost.

The smoke-saving capsule for pipes of the present invention has an outer diameter that fits loosely into the hole in the pipe for filling tobacco, and can accommodate fillers such as powder, granules, and small pieces inside.
A plurality of grooves of different depths are formed circumferentially on the outer peripheral wall of a capsule body with a small hole in the bottom, and a lid with a small hole is removably attached to the top of the capsule body. The present invention is characterized in that an O-ring made of an elastic material is fitted into a groove in the outer peripheral wall so that the capsule body can be elastically fitted into the hole of the pipe.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the state in which the smoke-saving capsule for pipes of the present invention is attached to a pipe. A capsule 3 of the present invention is fitted into a hole 2 made in the head of a pipe 1 and filled with tobacco. The capsule 3 is composed of a main body 4 and a lid 5. The capsule main body 4 has a cylindrical shape as a whole, and gauze 6a is spread inside it, and Ryukakusan (trade name) or the like is placed on top of it. tracheal protectant, vitamin _B1 ,
After filling powder 7 of C or the like, gauze 6b is placed over it. Since there are a plurality of small holes 8 in the bottom of the capsule body 4 and a small hole 9 in the center of the lid 5, the filling powder 7 inside can be sucked out little by little by smoking the pipe. .

Figures 2A, B and C show the structure of the lid and capsule body. A small hole 8 is formed in the bottom of the capsule body 4 as described above, and a thread groove 10 is cut in the upper inner wall, which is adapted to be screwed into a thread 11 formed in the lower part of the lid 5. There is. The capsule body 4 and the lid 5 are molded plastics, which are lightweight and inexpensive.
There are four grooves 12a to 1 on the outer peripheral wall of the capsule body 4.
2d is formed in a circumferential shape. The depths of these grooves are different from each other, as shown enlarged in FIG.
In one of these grooves is an O-ring 1 made of an elastic material.
Fit 3. The groove into which this O-ring 13 is fitted is selected in accordance with the inner diameter of the hole 2 of the pipe 1, so that the capsule 3 can be fitted and held in the hole 2 easily and reliably. That is, hole 2 of the pipe
If the inner diameter of O is large, as shown in Figure 3,
Fit the ring 13 into the shallowest groove 12a,
If the inner diameter is small, it should fit into a deep groove. In this way, the capsule can be used in common even for pipes with different hole 2 sizes. Generally, the inner diameter of the pipe hole 2 is 18 to 20 mm, so for example, the outer diameter of the capsule body 4 is 17.5 mm.
If the inner diameter of the O-ring is 16 mm and the cross-sectional diameter is 1 mm, it can be adapted to most pipes by setting the depths of grooves 12a to 12d to 0.8, 0.6, 0.4, and 0.2 mm, respectively. . However, in order to cope with pipes having extremely different inner diameters of the holes 2, several types of O-rings 13 with different cross-sectional diameters may be prepared.

In the embodiment described above, the upper surface of the lid 5 is formed into a gentle conical shape, and a small hole 9 is formed at the top thereof, which is effective in preventing dust from accumulating. Furthermore, by changing the depth of penetration of the lid 5 into the capsule body 4, the volume of the space formed between the gauze 6b and the bottom of the lid can be adjusted; This is effective in adjusting the amount of the filling material 7 to be filled and also adjusting the feeling of resistance of the air when inhaling.

4A, B and C show other embodiments of the smoke-saving capsule for pipes of the present invention. In this embodiment, a flange 21 is formed on the upper part of the capsule body 20, and a screw 22 is attached to the side edge of this flange. Cut the lid 2
It is designed to be screwed into a threaded groove 24 cut in the inner wall of No. 3. A small hole 25 is formed in the bottom of the capsule body 20, and a plurality of grooves 26a of different depths are formed in the outer peripheral wall.
The formation of 26d to 26d in a circumferential shape and the formation of the small hole 27 in the center of the lid 23 are the same as in the previous example.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but can be modified in many ways. In the example described above, the depths of the grooves formed on the outer circumferential wall of the capsule body are all different, but it is also possible to form a plurality of grooves of the same depth on the outer circumferential wall of the capsule body 30, for example, as shown in FIG. . That is, in Figure 5,
The depth of grooves 31a and 31d is 0.8 mm, and groove 3
The depth of 1b and 31e is 0.6mm, and the groove 31c
The depth is set to 0.4mm. In such a case,
For example, O-rings can be fitted into the grooves 31a and 31d, respectively, so that the capsule can be held even more reliably. In addition, if the hole in the pipe is tapered so that the diameter becomes smaller as it goes inward, fit one O-ring into the groove 31a or the groove 31d. By matching, pipes with holes of different diameters can be adapted.

Further, in the above example, the capsule body is cylindrical, but the outer peripheral surface may be slightly tapered. Furthermore, the filling to be accommodated in the capsule body is not limited to powder only, and granular substances or small pieces may also be accommodated without any problem.

The above-mentioned smoke-saving capsule for pipes of the present invention can be used by fitting it into the hole of the pipe, and the smoker can feel the same feeling as regular smoking, so there is little discomfort and it has a smoke-saving effect. This has the advantage of significantly improving In addition, by storing medicines, nutrients, and vitamins within the capsule body, it is good for health and hygiene, and vitamins in particular have the effect of dissolving nicotine, so they are very beneficial for smokers. . In addition, in the capsule of the present invention, multiple grooves with different depths are formed on the outer peripheral wall.
By fitting the O-ring into a groove selected according to the diameter of the hole in the pipe, it can be commonly used for pipes of various shapes and sizes, and has the advantage of being of high practical value and being inexpensive.
