WATERLESS GRAVITY BONG FOR USE WITH CANNABIDIOL (CBD) PRODUCTS
A waterless gravity bong includes a housing forming an interior air chamber. A removable cap is positioned at one end of the housing while a bowl is positioned to extend into the removable cap for holding combustible herbal products. A plunger is configured to move within the air chamber for pushing and pulling air within the chamber. The plunger draws ignited smoke from the bowl into the air chamber such that the bowl can be removed for allowing the ignited smoke to be forced from the air chamber into the user's lungs during an inhaled breath.
The present invention relates generally to devices for smoking tobacco and herbal substances and more particularly to a waterless gravity bong.
BACKGROUNDA bong is a filtration device generally used for smoking tobacco, cannabidiol (CBD) products such as cannabis and/or other herbal substances. As seen in prior art
Thus, the usage of a typical gravity-type bong requires water 111 to be filled into the body 101. This process is inconvenient and requires that filtered water, which often is dark and has an odor, to be properly disposed. Also, the water often removes much of the tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) from the smoke which reduces the effects of the smoking experience Hence, new solutions are needed for smoking CBD and other products to maximize the user experience.
The accompanying figures, where like reference numerals refer to identical or functionally similar elements throughout the separate views and which together with the detailed description below are incorporated in and form part of the specification, serve to further illustrate various embodiments and to explain various principles and advantages all in accordance with the present invention.
Skilled artisans will appreciate that elements in the figures are illustrated for simplicity and clarity and have not necessarily been drawn to scale. For example, the dimensions of some of the elements in the figures may be exaggerated relative to other elements to help to improve understanding of embodiments of the present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTIONBefore describing in detail embodiments that are in accordance with the present invention, it should be observed that the embodiments reside primarily in combinations of method steps and apparatus components related to a waterless gravity bond for use with tobacco, cannabidiol (CBD) and other herbal smoking products. Accordingly, the apparatus components and method steps have been represented where appropriate by conventional symbols in the drawings, showing only those specific details that are pertinent to understanding the embodiments of the present invention so as not to obscure the disclosure with details that will be readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art having the benefit of the description herein.
In this document, relational terms such as first and second, top and bottom, and the like may be used solely to distinguish one entity or action from another entity or action without necessarily requiring or implying any actual such relationship or order between such entities or actions. The terms “comprises,” “comprising,” or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. An element proceeded by “comprises . . . a” does not, without more constraints, preclude the existence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises the element.
A piston or plunger 205 is configured within the housing 201 where one end of the the housing is sealed using a top 203. The top 203 is configured to be held in a fixed position at a top end of the tube or housing 201. As further described herein, a bowl 207 is positioned within opening 206, allowing combusted contents of the bowl to enter and exit the housing 201. The combused contents are the resulting of igniting the contents of the bowl. The plunger 205 forms a seal with the interior of the housing 201 even when it is moved through the housing allowing the interior volume of the housing 201 to be increased or decreased.
As seen in
Thus, embodiments of the present invention are directed to a waterless gravity bong having a housing forming an interior air chamber where a removable cap is positioned at one end of the housing. A container or bowl is positioned to extend into the removable cap for holding tobacco or a combustible herbal product. A plunger is configured to move within the air chamber for pushing and pulling air within the chamber. In use, the plunger draws ignited smoke from the bowl into the air chamber such that the bowl can be removed for allowing the ignited smoke to be forced from the air chamber into the user's lungs during an inhaled breath.
In the foregoing specification, specific embodiments of the present invention have been described. However, one of ordinary skill in the art appreciates that various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention as set forth in the claims below. Accordingly, the specification and figures are to be regarded in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense, and all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of present invention. The benefits, advantages, solutions to problems, and any element(s) that may cause any benefit, advantage, or solution to occur or become more pronounced are not to be construed as a critical, required, or essential features or elements of any or all the claims. The invention is defined solely by the appended claims including any amendments made during the pendency of this application and all equivalents of those claims as issued.
