Cone Shaped Cigarette With Hard Tip and Method For Manufacture
A cone shaped cigarette with hard tip and method for manufacture where a cone shaped paper encasement can contain shredded botanical material and a hard tip member having an inhaling aperture is inserted into the small end of the cone shaped paper encasement by an FDA approved adhesive. A filter member can be inserted into the tip of the hard tip member. A preferred embodiment includes the hard tip member being made of borosilicate glass. The hard tip member can be cylindrical in shape or cone shaped to match the side walls of the paper encasement. A preferred embodiment includes the glass hard tip member being transparent and the filter member is colored allowing the filter member to be viewed through the glass hard tip member.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThis invention relates generally to the field of cigarette devices and more specifically to cone shaped cigarette with hard tip and method for manufacture.
The smoking of botanical materials such as tobacco has been done and continues to be done by a portion of the population around the world. One form of smoking is done by inserting the botanical material into a paper encasement. A well know embodiment of a tobacco infused product is called a cigarette. Most of the time the paper encasement is cylindrical in shape. However, some recent forms of smoking include cone shaped paper encasements. These cone shaped cigarettes are usually hand rolled. However, there are some manufacturers in Europe that currently make and fill the cone shapes by machine. In either case, some users of cone shaped cigarettes prefer to insert a hard tip that is made of glass or other hard material for ease of smoking.
Users currently do their best to have the hard tip fit snuggly within the small end of the cone shaped paper encasement so that it will remain in place during use.
However, in actual cigarette rolling circumstances the ability for a person to consistently achieve a tight fit between the outside wall of the hard tip and the inside wall of the cone shaped paper encasement is difficult even for the most experienced rollers of cone shaped cigarettes, causing the hard tip to fit loosely and potentially fall out.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe primary object of the invention is to provide a cone shaped cigarette that includes the insertion and attachment of a hard tip for interaction with the user's mouth.
Another object of the invention is to provide a method of attaching the hard tip to the end of the cigarette using an FDA approved adhesive.
Another object of the invention is to provide a cone shaped cigarette with hard tip that includes a filter member.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following descriptions, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein, by way of illustration and example, an embodiment of the present invention is disclosed.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, there is disclosed a cone shaped cigarette with hard tip and method for manufacture comprising: a cone shaped paper encasement, a hard tip member having an aperture for drawing smoke, a portion of FDA approved adhesive, said cone shaped paper encasement being open ended on both ends, said hard tip member fitting snuggly within the small end of said cone shaped paper encasement, said hard tip member being secured within said paper encasement by said FDA approved adhesive, and said cone shaped paper encasement capable of being filled with shredded botanical material.
The drawings constitute a part of this specification and include exemplary embodiments to the invention, which may be embodied in various forms. It is to be understood that in some instances various aspects of the invention may be shown exaggerated or enlarged to facilitate an understanding of the invention.
Detailed descriptions of the preferred embodiment are provided herein. It is to be understood, however, that the present invention may be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but rather as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to employ the present invention in virtually any appropriately detailed system, structure or manner.
Referring now to
While the invention has been described in connection with a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the scope of the invention to the particular form set forth, but on the contrary, it is intended to cover such alternatives, modifications, and equivalents as may be included within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
Claims
1. A cone shaped cigarette with hard tip and method for manufacture comprising:
- a cone shaped paper encasement;
- a hard tip member;
- a portion of FDA approved adhesive;
- said cone shaped paper encasement being open ended on both ends;
- said hard tip member having a through aperture and fitting snuggly within the small end of said cone shaped paper encasement;
- said hard tip being secured within said paper encasement by said FDA approved adhesive; and
- said cone shaped paper encasement capable of being filled with shredded botanical material.
2. A cone shaped cigarette with hard tip and method for manufacture as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a filter member inserted into the human mouth engaging aperture portion of said hard tip member.
3. A cone shaped cigarette with hard tip and method for manufacture as claimed in claim 1 wherein said hard tip member is made of borosilicate glass.
