Benefits of technology

[0009] An object of the present invention is to provide a smokeless nicotine inhalation pipe with small inhalation resistance which allows nicotine to be taken in by being puffed, like rodlike smoking articles such as cigarettes and cigars, and which also has a rodlike external form similar to those of the smoking articles, and a nicotine holder for the nicotine inhalation pipe.

Problems solved by technology

However, such chewing gum and adhesive plaster need not be puffed, unlike cigarettes and cigars, and thus are unable to give consumers a feeling of release or satisfaction that is created by the act of puffing.
Compared with rodlike smoking articles, therefore, the inhalation pipe is too cumbersome to carry or to keep and is not easy to handle.

first embodiment

[0033] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, there is shown a nicotine inhalation pipe which comprises a rodlike nicotine holder 1 and a mouthpiece 2 attachable to the nicotine holder 1. The mouthpiece 2 has a connection end for the nicotine holder 1, and the connection end has a cylindrical shape with an outside diameter substantially equal to that of the nicotine holder 1. Thus, when the inhalation pipe is assembled, the mouthpiece 2 and the nicotine holder 1 form a smooth continuous outer peripheral surface of the inhalation pipe.

[0034] The nicotine holder 1 includes a transparent outer tube 3 and an inner tube 5 arranged inside the outer tube 3 coaxially therewith. The tubes 3 and 5 are both made of synthetic resin. A liquid absorbent 4 is filled in the space between the outer tube 3 and the inner tube 5 and is soaked with a nicotine solution.

[0035] As the nicotine solution, a solution prepared by dissolving chemically synthesized nicotine in a solvent such as aqueous liquid or alcohol ...

second embodiment

[0063]FIG. 3 shows a nicotine holder 1 according to the present invention, and this nicotine holder does not have the inner tube 5 and includes a cylindrical liquid absorbent 4. The liquid absorbent 4 has an outside diameter nearly equal to the inside diameter of the outer tube 3. A plurality of axial passages 18 are formed in the liquid absorbent 4 so as to extend therethrough. As shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of ribs 19 are formed on the inner peripheral surface of the outer tube 3. The ribs 19 are arranged at regular intervals in the circumferential direction of the outer tube 3 and extend in the axial direction of the outer tube 3. When the liquid absorbent 4 is press-fitted into the outer tube 3, the outer peripheral surface of the liquid absorbent 4 is partly deformed by the ribs 19. Accordingly, a gap is defined between the outer tube 3 and the liquid absorbent 4 on both sides of each rib 19, as viewed in the circumferential direction of the outer tube 3. These gaps respective...

third embodiment

[0070]FIG. 6 shows a nicotine holder 1 according to the present invention, and this nicotine holder contains a large number of liquid absorbent granules 34 in place of the liquid absorbent 4. The liquid absorbent granules 34 are filled in a transparent outer tube 3. The gaps between the liquid absorbent granules 34 and the gaps between the inner peripheral surface of the outer tube 3 and the liquid absorbent granules 34 form nicotine inhalation paths 27 and 28 inside the outer tube 3.

[0071] The outer tube 3 has end walls 22 at both ends, and a plurality of openings 36 are formed in each end wall 22. The openings 36 have a diameter significantly smaller than that of the liquid absorbent granules 34, and accordingly, the liquid absorbent granules 34 do not pass through the openings 36 to the outside of the outer tube 3.

[0072] The liquid absorbent granules 34 are porous spherical granules each having a large number of fine pores filled with the nicotine solution. The diameter of the l...

Abstract

A nicotine inhalation pipe includes a rodlike nicotine holder (1) and a mouthpiece (2) attached to one end of the holder (1). The holder (1) includes a transparent outer tube (3) having a plurality of openings (36) at both ends thereof, liquid absorbent granules (34) filled in the outer tube (3), and a nicotine inhalation path formed by gaps between the liquid absorbent granules (34) and gaps between the inner peripheral surface of the outer tube (3) and the liquid absorbent granules (34). The liquid absorbent granules (34), which are made of porous silica gel and in which a nicotine solution is absorbed, permit nicotine to be vaporized from the nicotine solution.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a nicotine inhalation pipe and a nicotine holder containing a nicotine solution. More particularly, the present invention relates to a pipe which allows nicotine vaporized from a nicotine solution to be inhaled together with air and a holder containing a nicotine solution. BACKGROUND ART [0002] Smoking articles such as cigarettes and cigars produce smoke containing nicotine, namely, main-stream smoke, when tobacco therein is burned. Smokers inhale the main-stream smoke and thereby take in nicotine contained in the main-stream smoke. Apart from such smoking articles smoked in an ordinary way, there are known articles which allow nicotine to be taken in without producing smoke, such as chewing gum containing nicotine and sheetlike adhesive plaster applied with a nicotine-containing substance. [0003] However, such chewing gum and adhesive plaster need not be puffed, unlike cigarettes and cigars, and thus are unable to give consume...
