摘要 A detachable charge housing is provided wherein the side wall is perforated with a plurality of air vent openings that are covered internally by an overlapping paper section which is both porous and absorbent which is wrapped around a metal screen wire sleeve inserted into the charge housing in such a manner that the disposable assembly is retained by frictional contact and with the thusly described charge housing assembly being loaded with smoking tobacco and seated vertically in the upstream open end of a smoking holder, comprising additionally an affixed stem section having a longitudinal smoke channel therein. The smoking holder is provided in a preferred modification and an optional modification. The construction and operation of the two modifications are identical with the exception that the optional modification has a perforated side wall which is formed above the charge housing seat which substantially encompasses the charge housing in a spaced relationship. The principal features of the invention are that the porous and absorbent paper section which surrounds the burning tobacco charge does not burn and that it allows air filtration which improves the combustion of the tobacco charge and absorbs moisture therefrom which subsequently evaporates thus resulting in a drier and cooler smoke than that which is produced by conventional tobacco smoking pipes.
权利要求
1. Tobacco smoking equipment including a smoking holder and comprising a vertically disposed hollow cylindrical charge housing having a plurality of spaced air vent openings therein, a cylindrical moisture absorbent porous sleeve disposed within the charging housing in communication with the air vent openings, a cylindrical shaped resilient wire screen disposed within the porous sleeve and constantly providing a radially outward force against said porous sleeve holding said porous sleeve tightly against the inside surface of the charge housing; said smoking holder comprising an open base, an elongated stem section connected thereto, said stem section being provided with a longitudinal smoke channel therethrough, means providing an annular seating cavity provided in the open base for frictionally receiving one end of the charge housing therein and in sealing engagement therewith, said seating cavity means being in open communication with the smoke channel and the interior of the charge housing.
2. The tobacco smoking equipment combination of claim 1 wherein the charge housing seat of the smoking holder has upwardly a short extending tobacco retaining plug formed centrally in the seating cavity means thereof.
3. The tobacco smoking equipment combination of claim 1 wherein a perforated side wall is located vertically above the open base which encompasses the seat charge housing and is radially outwardly spaced therefrom.
4. The tobacco smoking equipment combination of claim 1 wherein the charge housing is formed of thin wall heat dissipating metal having a wall thickness of not more than 0.25 thousandths of 1 inch.
5. The tobacco smoking equipment of claim 1 wherein the combined area of the air vent openings in the charge housing side wall is equal to fifty to eighty percent of the total side wall area.
6. The tobacco smoking equipment of claim 1 wherein the charge housing is provided with a narrow radially inwardly extending annular retainment rim which is formed on the outer end thereof.
7. The tobacco smoking equipment combination of claim 1 wherein the resilient wire screen section is formed of 1/16 inch mesh household screen wire.
8. The tobacco smoking equipment combination of claim 1 wherein the absorbent porous sleeve has porosity and absorption characteristics equivalent to that paper presently used as a paper towel.
9. Tobacco smoking equipment comprising a perforated metal charge housing, a porous moisTure absorbing paper section disposed within said charge housing for receiving a tobacco charge therein, and a wire screen shield disposed between the paper section and the tobacco charge.
