Integrated smoking device
View Patent ↗A smoking device having an integrated lighter, a bowl for holding an igniteable vegetable product, and a duct for drawing smoke like a pipe. The device consists of an ignition switch located on the side of the pipe in natural proximity to the thumb, a piezo-electric ignition system, a flammable gas delivery system, a bowl for holding smoking material, and an aperature for drawing the smoke emitted from the ignited vegetable product.
1. An integrated smoking device comprising:
a housing;
a bowl disposed in the housing;
a smoke tube coupled to the bowl at a bowl end allowing gaseous flow from the bowl end to a draw end;
a flame assembly associated with a fuel aperture for directing fuel for a flame near the bowl and approximately parallel to the bowl;
an igniter arranged near the fuel aperture so that when the fuel aperture is directing fuel, the igniter ignites the fuel; and
a moveable arm, said moveable arm externally and proximately mounted near the bowl, the moveable arm further comprising the flame assembly and an air intake aperture;
wherein said moveable arm has an active position and an inactive position,
wherein said moveable arm is thrust above the housing in the active position and is lowered towards the housing in the inactive position; and
wherein said flame assembly further comprises said fuel aperture and said igniter;
a user control arranged such that a user may activate the igniter and cause fuel to flow from the fuel aperture, so as to produce a flame directed at the bowl, in a single operation.
2. The integrated smoking device of claim 1 wherein the igniter is triggered by an electrical impulse from a piezoelectric striker.
3. The integrated smoking device of claim 1 wherein at least one of the fuel aperture and the igniter are disposed in the moveable arm having at least an active position where a flame is directed at the bowl and an inactive position where a flame is not directed at the bowl.
4. The integrated smoking device of claim 3 wherein the moveable arm moves linearly from the active position to the inactive position.
5. The integrated smoking device of claim 3 wherein the moveable arm rotates from the active position to the inactive position.
6. The integrated smoking device of claim 3 wherein the bowl is integrated within the housing.
7. The integrated smoking device of claim 6 wherein the bowl is integrated between two generally parallel, elongated planar surfaces of the housing.
8. The integrated smoking device of claim 3 wherein the bowl is fabricated from glass.
