Glass pipe with protective cover and cap

Abstract

A smoking device includes a pipe made of an elongated glass tube having an open first end and an open second end. An internal surface of the elongated glass tube includes a narrowed portion defining a narrowed diameter opening. The narrowed portion separates chambers within the elongated glass tube. The chambers include a material chamber from the second open end to the narrowed portion, and a smoke chamber defined from the narrowed portion to the first open end. A cap includes an open end and output openings. The cap is placed over the open first end or the open second end. The pipe further includes a polymer coating sealed to an outer surface of the elongated glass tube.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of priority of U.S. provisional application No. 62 / 736,084, filed Sep. 25, 2018, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a glass pipe and, more particularly, to a glass pipe with a protective antibacterial cover and a discrete cap.[0003]Glass pipes are commonly used for smoking tabaco. Glass pipes may easily slip out of user's hands, fall on the ground, and break. Additionally, ash and burning material can fall out of the bowl of the glass pipe, which may hurt the user or destroy clothing. Another issue with glass pipes is there currently is no protection from heat when lighting the contents of the pipe, and there are no antibacterial products used in conjunction with the pipe. Therefore, the pipe may become contaminated.[0004]As can be seen, there is a need for an improved gripping and cap for a glass pipe that alleviat...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a smoking device that has a narrowed portion in its glass tube, which separates two chambers: a material chamber and a smoke chamber. The device also has a cap that can be fitted over its open end. The cap can be used to transport the device and can also be used in the smoking position. Additionally, the glass tube may have a polymer coating sealed to its outer surface. The technical effect of this design is that it allows for improved smoking experience with a reduced amount of smoke inhalation.

Problems solved by technology

Glass pipes may easily slip out of user's hands, fall on the ground, and break.

Additionally, ash and burning material can fall out of the bowl of the glass pipe, which may hurt the user or destroy clothing.
