Smoking area
A device designed to create a smoking area wherever the smoker is located. Furthermore, dramatically reducing or eliminating secondhand smoke exposure to people and the environment by giving smokers the option not to expose their surrounding by utilizing this invention. The three major components of the invention consist of (1) two types of handheld units which are known as horizontal handheld unit and vertical handheld unit. (2) The flexible tube that connects the other two components completing the suction system. And (3) the smoke elimination unit which contains the motor and fan. All three components together create one invention known as the smoking area.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThis invention was not created to encourage or promote the use of tobacco products etc. This invention was created to encourage and promote the elimination of secondhand exposure to all people and the environment worldwide in a new, effective and convenient way.
Secondhand smoke is a class A carcinogen. Not even outdoors is there a safe level of secondhand smoke: Laws that create smoke free environment and prohibit smoking in public places are effective tactics to prevent harm from and exposure to toxic secondhand smoke.
However there is much exposure continuing to take place because smokers don't have many options by way of marketable inventions to help prevent exposure to secondhand smoke. This invention is designed to help fight exposure to toxic secondhand smoke by making it as marketable as possible worldwide.
Existing methods for preventing secondhand smoke exposure are very inconvenient and limited. For example, smoking booths, smoke exhaust systems found in casinos and inventions designed for use in cars and enclosed areas are great ideas but have major limitations.
This new invention can be transported easily anywhere and everywhere the need to smoke arises making it extremely unique.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONA device with three components creating a suction system in which the smoker can deposit the secondhand smoke exhaled from the mouth and nose. consequently, eliminating the smoke from the environment including the constantly flowing smoke from the smoking product's burning end.
This invention is related to exhaust systems which utilizes suction and water, or filters to remove secondhand smoke from the environment. Why water? Because water is not man made. It will always do its function and is not expensive and very effective. Primary uses are unlimited, especially when walking, standing and sitting in public places or anywhere people do not want to be exposed to secondhand smoke.
The invention, known as the Smoking area, is not a complicated invention to understand and operate. As can be seem from
In
Consequently, suction is created at the handheld unit's intake port. Any smoke blown in the handheld unit will travel through the handheld unit (D), then through the flexible tube C, which connects the handheld unit to the smoke elimination unit (G). Finally, eliminating the smoke in water (E) or a filter located in the smoke elimination unit (G).
It is necessary to note that as shown in
The invention is supplied with a shoulder strap as shown in
Claims
1. This invention know as the smoking area has three components (1) two types of handheld units known as horizontal handheld unit and vertical handheld unit (2) the smoke elimination unit and (3) A flexible tube (not hose) which connects the handheld units to the smoke elimination unit.
2. The smoke elimination unit, unlike any other related invention, uses water to eliminate the smoke that is suctioned into the machine.
3. As shown in FIG. 5 (F) the invention can easily be adapted to use a filter instead of the water by disconnecting the conduit at that location and installing a filter.
4. Both types of handheld units are specifically designed to limit the amount of suction to the smoking product by having the suction generated from the opposite chamber therefore not affecting the speed at which the smoking product burns.
5. Unlike related invention this invention is primarily designed to protect people from secondhand smoke in all location and not limited to enclosed areas where people may congregate.
