PCT No. PCT / EP96 / 04234 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 30, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 30, 1998 PCT Filed Sep. 27, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97 / 12528 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 10, 1997There is provided a biodegradable filter tow or filter material from renewable raw materials for the use as a tobacco smoke filter element of cigarettes, cigars or pipes as well as a method for preparing it, wherein fibers, films or foams prepared in an extrusion method from biopolymers based on thermoplastic starch or its polymer compositions are processed to the filter tow or filter material according to the present invention. The advantages of this invention reside in the use of mainly renewable raw materials, a fast and complete biodegradability of the natural biopolymer filter material, a pollutant-reducing flavor-increasing filtering effect and an economically favorable preparation method.

A smoking pipe of Middle Eastern / South Asian mechanical design, which is used to smoke tobacco and other substances while utilizing liquid, such as water, for purifying the smoke, made novel by the use of a coupler that allows the smoking pipe to be compatible with a multitude of standard, consumer bottle types, such as soda bottles or liquor bottles, as the liquid reservoir, which increases the versatility and transportability of the smoking apparatus.

Electric heat for generating smoke from tobacco or the like in a hookah type smoking pipe. Electric heat is obtained from an electrically powered heating element which may be placed proximate the tobacco. The heating element may be contained within a housing which in turn may be placed above the smoking chamber of the hookah. The housing may have adjustably damped holes disposed to pass air over the heating element. Electrical circuitry serving the heating element may comprise a step down transformer and a voltage adjusting switch. The heating element may be integral with the hookah, may take the form of a separate component which is mountable over the smoking chamber of the hookah, or may comprise a free standing assembly which may be placed to stand adjacent to the hookah.

A vapor generator for generating vapors from a solid fuel is described. The vapor generator may comprise a fuel chamber for containing the fuel, an electrical heating element, associated controls, and a battery. The fuel is heated by ambient air drawn past the heating element, and is subsequently conducted into the fuel chamber. A screen may interpose a barrier between the fuel and the heating element, so that fuel is heated only convectively by air and not by direct contact with the heating element. The fuel chamber is modularly detachable from the heating element. Modules including the heating element and the fuel chamber may be joined by a ball and socket arrangement, thereby enabling ready assembly into a unitized assembly, and disassembled to enable the heating elements and related components to be utilized with a pre-existing smoking pipe or cigarette.

The invention discloses a smoking device capable of reducing public hazard and automatically accumulating the ash. The smoking device consists of a smoking tube (1), a smoking pipe (2) and a hood (3), wherein one end of the smoking tube (1) is provided with a smoking nozzle (4), the other end of the smoking tube (1) is connected with the smoking pipe (2), the middle part of the smoking pipe (2) is provided with a cigarette insertion opening (5), the periphery of the insertion opening (5) is an ash storage groove (6), the top of the smoking pipe (2) is connected with the hood (3), the upper part in the hood (3) is provided with a filter sheet (7), the hood (3) and the smoking pipe (1) form a right angle and are respectively connected with the smoking pipe (2), the smoking tube (1) and the smoking pipe (2) are in insertion type connection or are connected into a whole, the hood (3) and the smoking pipe (2) are in insertion type or threaded type connection, the appearance of the smoking pipe (2) is in a straight tube shape or a projected drum shape, the filter sheet (7) is formed by clamping filter media by two layers of gauzes, the gauzes are carriers and are humidified by alcohol, and the filter media are active carbon or diatomite or bentonite. The smoking device has the advantages that the structure is simple, the use is convenient, the dust pollution caused by smoking can be reduced, and the harm to the environment air caused by harmful chemical ingredients in the smoke gas can also be reduced.

A smoking pipe comprising an elongated body with a removable chassis located therein. Located on the chassis is a lighter with an activation switch and flame opening located on one end. The lighter is positioned in the chassis so that the lighter's flame opening is located adjacent to the upper bowl on the bowl assembly also mounted on the chassis. Formed over the upper bowl are air openings which allow heated hot gas to enter the bowl and vaporize or burn material placed therein Rotatably mounted on the lower neck on the bowl assembly is a ratchet. Attached to the ratchet is an elongated mouthpiece. The ratchet which includes a cam surface with a hook formed thereon that engages the distal end of a pawl. The proximal end of the pawl sits in a receiving cavity form a moveable head also mounted on the chassis that selectively presses against the activation switch on the lighter. The relative locations of the cam surface, smoke bores on the bowl assembly, and the mouthpiece are designed so that less movement of the mouthpiece is required to activate the lighter.

A portable vaporization implement, comprising: a tubular section having a hollow interior, an air intake, and an output orifice; a smoking material chamber that is within said hollow interior and that is in fluid contact with said air intake and said output orifice, and is positioned generally in between said air intake and said output orifice, wherein desired components of a smokable substance may be vaporized; and a purely mechanical means for automatically regulating the amount of heat entering said smoking material chamber, whereby the temperature within said smoking material chamber stays within the vaporization range of said smokable substance, wherein said mechanical means allows unimpeded inhalation by the user.
