  • Patent number: 4223687
    Abstract: A combination smoking device and a lighter for the smoking material in which the combustion area for the smoking material has a mouth piece swingable from an inoperative position into an operative position and in which an auxiliary supply of smoking material includes a valve that may be opened for placing the auxiliary supply in direct communication with the combustion area for replenishing it with a fresh supply of smoking material. Also, a smoking material lighter is positioned adjacent to the combustion area so that the operator can fill the area with smoking material and then ignite a wick and swing the mouth piece into operative position and suck air therethrough for creating a down draft in the combustion area for causing the flame from the ignited wick to ignite the smoking material. A hinged cover may now be closed for extinguishing the wick flame, the cover having air passages for supplying sufficient air to the combustion area for maintaining a continuous burning of the smoking material.
