Abrasive Wheel Moves With Cover About A Common Axis Patents (Class 431/136)
  • Patent number: 9364023
    Abstract: The present invention is a tobacco smoking holder for smoking a cigarette and filtering the tobacco byproducts from the air before emitting the clear air from the holder. The holder enables a user to mount the cigarette within the holder, light the cigarette while in the holder, smoke the cigarette while in the holder isolating the combustion byproducts through a motorized filtering assembly housed within a housing, which removes the cigarette's byproducts from the air before exhausting the air, thereby protecting others from secondary smoke and other products produced during smoking. When finished smoking, the cigarette is then extinguished while in the housing by an extinguishing canister that encompasses the lit end of the cigarette.
