BRIEF SUMMARY OF INVENTION

The use of medical and recreational cannabis is growing massively globally but especially in America, the world uses cannabis by many methods nowadays but the classic bong(filtration by water or oil) remains the most wanted and used to clean and keep the original flavor, this makes all cannabis users to have at least one bong home, other devices are used but all requires spare parts or are electric, and all classic bongs lose water due to position, there is no water/oil filter on the market which does not have electrical components, no spare parts and that does not lose liquid due to position.

Minibong Originals—One is a small bong around 5 inch tall and with the shape design of a pear, it is portable, quick to use and doesn't lose liquid.

Can be used to smoke cigarettes, joints and raw cannabis.

Water filtering of smoke/air; keeps the harmful tar and other bad substances from getting into the lungs.

Classic bong like but with No leaks, No spare parts, No electronic components and Quick to use.

Refills and cleans home with 99% isopropyl alcohol or acetone.

Helps a container to not lose liquid and be quick to use(for smoking): container with the purpose to retain liquid for filtering air/smoke.

The shape, the valve and the bearing are the 3 important parts of device.

The valves help the bong to not lose liquid while not in use; and in-use when in horizontal and vertical position.

Gravitation helps with the counterbalancing of the inner rotating piece which is a transparent plastic straw that needs always to be under the water for the incoming smoke.

On the exit-way for the smoke the same counterbalancing device is used;

    • the exit-way of smoke which must not be under the water while in-use.

Device works with and without counterbalancing rotation part;

    • that is the bearing;
    • it is needed only for a larger angle of In-Use positions.
    • (beside it's more useful, it's great to look at the moving mechanisms)

Counterbalancing is done thru the help of thin bearing/rotary swivel joint placed at the 2 main holes of the bong.

Like any other classic bong normal water can be used, or the Oil-Liquid made and sold for the Minibong.

(flavored filter-liquid used instead of water for a higher viscosity in small Minibong models: natural essential oil mix.)

    • Opening the bong for liquid replacement is very easy due to 480° rotation-opening of the shell of bong; basically opening the bong into half.
    • Refilling and cleaning with 99% Isopropyl Alcohol or Acetone. (2 parts which would get dirty in time can be detached and washed home).
    • When in-use the bong works when in straight or horizontal position.
    • 360° positions are not very needed along the bong users, adding technology or more mechanisms will make it hard to be used.

We need to open and refill the bong quick, no spare parts, and not make it complicated.

    • It will be made mostly of transparent materials for the pleasure of customers to see the interior mechanism, colors and patterns will also be produced.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

FIG. 1

Shows how the inside of product looks like.

Colors and FIG. (nr) explained for each component:

    • Green—represents the water.
    • Blue—the valves. (FIG. 5)
    • Red—thin bearing. (FIG. 6)

Letter A sign shows inside the thin bearing: the 2 pipes spinning free in both ways, which is always pulled down by the ‘Heavy’ counterbalancing metal helper.

Metal-helper, respective metal-helper-pipe should be preferably made out of stainless steel. (FIG. 3)—Y) and Z) components.

It must be heavier than its attached counterbalancing pipe;

    • (purple star—shows that the pipe is attached to the metal-helper).

Brown—pipe for the incoming smoke; like any other bong bowl.

Build conical for the joints and unrolled weed to fit and stay in.

If the device is manufactured with the bearings rotating mechanism (does not really matters for functionality) then the bong bowl will always stay up with the help of gravity.

FIG. 2

Same image of Minibong but in vertical position; shows the water place.

C) sign red circle shows approximately where the bong opens for refill.

FIG. 3

W) and X) shows that the valve is attached on the detachable parts (N sign).

(2 parts which would get dirty in time can be detached and washed home).

W) is the simple out-way drip tip; rotative-detachable on the bong.

Y) exit-way pipe has the undulated shape made for the liquid to not climb up to the exit. Resting bong position must be straight (FIG. 2).

Y) exit-way pipe can also be made into spiral conical shape.

X) is the in-way pipe and also rotative-detachable.

X) component should contain metal wool for the tar and high temperature protection.

(both W and X must be detachable so the customer cleans them home)

FIG. 4

Shape design of the shell of device; pear like.

FIG. 5

The valve; examples of valves. Low-pressure-actioned valve is chosen.

FIG. 6

Thin bearing; examples of thin bearings. Used for rotation of the inner pipe;

    • allowing air to move thru without water leaks.

Some bearings manufactured nowadays can have the same function as plastic made rotary swivel joints.

FIG. 7

Easier alternative of design using 1 unit 1-way-valve and 1 unit Shut Off Valve Button Type.

This design does not need bearings. This design it's alike classic water bong.

Claims

1. Air-Filter pear-like shaped container; device based on water/oil, meant to not lose liquid, liquid meant for the filtration;

generally used for smoking cannabis, tobacco or other herbal products;
Container of water/oil with 2 holes at its ends; A and B holes; air/smoke enters A and goes in the liquid zone once inside the container with the help of a 360° rotating pipe which gets pulled by gravity which always stays in the liquid zone, after the air/smoke goes thru the liquid; it goes up in the second pipe which stays always outside the liquid zone, 360° rotating pipe pulled by gravity and exiting thru the hole B.; Pipes are rotating free on mini bearings attached thru the A and B holes.

2. The bong/container itself opens in the middle (in half) by simple rotation, for the cleaning and refilling with new liquid.
