between said carburetor aperture 206 and said bottle 308 in order
to allow a passage between said bowl aperture 202, said carburetor
aperture 206 and said first end aperture 704a.
[0053] FIG. 10C illustrates a second fluid passage 1014 within said
pipe 100. In one embodiment, said second fluid passage 1014 can
comprise drawing smoke through said bowl assembly 102 and air in
through said carburetor aperture 206 substantially simultaneously.
In so doing, said pipe 100 can be used to regulate an amount of
said smoke 208 drawn through mouthpiece 310. In one embodiment,
said second fluid passage 1014 can comprise drawing air and said
smoke 208 through said chamber 512 of said bowl assembly 102, said
internal fluid passage 612 of said outer cylinder 306, said fluid
passage 712 of said bottle 308, said fluid passage 818 of said
mouthpiece 310, and through of said inhaling aperture 204 in said
mouthpiece 310; wherein, air is also drawn in through said
carburetor aperture 206 whilst it can be drawn in through said bowl
aperture 202.
[0054] FIG. 11 illustrates a perspective overview of a
cross-section of said pipe 100 and said smokeable material 201, a
first screen 1102, and a stored portion 1104 of said smokeable
material 201 with one or more bottle screens. In one embodiment,
said one or more bottle screens can comprise a first screen 1106a
and a second screen 1106b. In one embodiment, said smokeable
material 201 can be held in said bowl 304 on said first screen 1102
as is known in the art. In one embodiment, holding said stored
portion 1104 of said smokeable material 201 in said bottle 308 can
allow said smoke 208 to resonate within said stored portion 1104
before consumption at said inhaling aperture 204. Thus, in one
embodiment, said fluid passage 712 can comprise a resonating
chamber for said smoke 208. In one embodiment, resonating said
smoke 208 can improve the quality of said smoke 208 at the point of
said inhaling aperture 204. In one embodiment, said stored portion
1104 is held within said fluid passage 712 as between said one or
more bottle screens (for example said first screen 1106a and said
second screen 1106b). In one embodiment, said one or more bottle
screens and said first screen 1102 can be round and substantially
fill the space in which they are placed. In one embodiment, said
stored portion 1104 of said smokeable material 201 is not lighted
as is said smokeable material 201 in said bowl 304.
[0055] FIG. 12 illustrates a perspective cross-section overview of
a bottle 1200. In one embodiment, said bottle 1200 can comprise
said bottle 308, said mouthpiece 310 and one or more caps. In one
embodiment, said bottle 1200 can be used to hold said smokeable
material 201 when not in use. In one embodiment, a portion of said
pipe 100 can be removed and used as said bottle 1200. In one
embodiment, said one or more caps can comprise a first cap 1202a
and a second cap 1202b. In one embodiment, said one or more caps
can comprise an external threading capable of screwing into an
internal threading as is found in said bottle 308 (at said internal
threading 714) and said mouthpiece 310 (at said internal threading
806). In one embodiment, a piece of moist clay can be held in said
bottle 1200 to act as a humidor for said stored portion 1104 of
said smokeable material 201.
[0056] FIGS. 13A and 13B illustrate a perspective detailed view of
a portion of said mouthpiece 310 and an elevated view of said
mouthpiece 310 inserted into a portion of said outer cylinder 306;
all views being of a cross-section of said members. In one
embodiment, said mouthpiece 310 can comprise a bevel 1302 about an
external portion of said second portion 811b of said mouthpiece
310. In one embodiment, said bevel 1302 can keep said mouthpiece
310 from recessing too far into said outer cylinder 306.
[0057] FIGS. 14A, 14B and 14C illustrate a cross-section
perspective overview of a second configuration pipe 1400; a
cross-section elevated front view of said second configuration pipe
1400; and a cross-section perspective overview of said second
configuration pipe 1400 with said smokeable material 201, said
first screen 1102 and said first screen 1106a. In one embodiment,
said second configuration pipe 1400 can comprise a variation on
said pipe 100 comprising no use of said outer cylinder 306 and the
additional use of a second bowl 1402. In one embodiment, said
second configuration pipe 1400 does not comprise said carburetor
aperture 206; instead, said second configuration pipe 1400
comprises said bowl aperture 202 and said inhaling aperture 204
with a fluid passage 1404 between. In one embodiment, said second
configuration pipe 1400 can comprise attaching said bowl assembly
102 to said bottle 308 and said bottle 308 to said mouthpiece 310.
In one embodiment, said second bowl 1402 can attach to said
mouthpiece 310 and said second bowl 1402 can slide inside of said
bottle 308. In one embodiment, said first screen 1106a can be used
between said second bowl 1402 and said bowl assembly 102 (within
said bottle 308).
[0058] FIGS. 15A, 15B and 15C illustrate a cross-section
perspective overview of a third configuration pipe 1500; a
cross-section elevated front view of said third configuration pipe
1500; and a cross-section perspective overview of said third
configuration pipe 1500 with said smokeable material 201 and said
first screen 1102. In one embodiment, said third configuration pipe
1500 can comprise a variation on said second configuration pipe 140
comprising no use of said outer cylinder 306 or said bottle 308. In
one embodiment, said third configuration pipe 1500 does not
comprise said carburetor aperture 206; instead, said third
configuration pipe 1500 comprises said bowl aperture 202 and said
inhaling aperture 204 with a fluid passage 1504 between. In one
embodiment, said third configuration pipe 1500 can comprise
attaching said bowl assembly 102 to said mouthpiece 310.
[0059] FIGS. 16A, 16B and 16C illustrate a cross-section
perspective overview of a fourth configuration pipe 1600; a
cross-section elevated front view of said fourth configuration pipe
1600; and a cross-section perspective overview of said fourth
configuration pipe 1600 with said smokeable material 201 and said
first screen 1102. In one embodiment, said fourth configuration
pipe 1600 can comprise a variation on said pipe 100 comprising no
use of said bottle 308 or said mouthpiece 310. In one embodiment,
said fourth configuration pipe 1600 can comprise a fluid passage
1604 between said bowl aperture 202, said inhaling aperture 204 and
said carburetor aperture 206. In one embodiment, building said
fourth configuration pipe 1600 from the parts of said pipe 100 can
comprise removing said bottle 308 and said mouthpiece 310. In one
embodiment, said fourth configuration pipe 1600 can be used by
placing a user's mouth across said second end aperture 604b of said
outer cylinder 306 (that is said inhaling aperture 204 of said
fourth configuration pipe 1600). Thus, in one embodiment, said pipe
100 can be used as both said bottle 1200 and said fourth
configuration pipe 1600 at the same time.
[0060] FIGS. 17A, 17B, 17C and 17D illustrate a perspective
overview, an elevated bottom view, and two elevated front views of
a locking system 1700. FIGS. 17A-17C illustrate said locking system
1700 in an open-configuration. FIG. 17D illustrates said locking
system 1700 in a closed-configuration. In one embodiment, said
locking system 1700 can comprise a first arm 1702, a second arm
1704, a lock 1706 and a key 1708. In one embodiment, said first arm
1702 can comprise a plurality of teeth 1710. In one embodiment,
said first arm 1702 can move in and out relative to said lock 1706.
In one embodiment, said plurality of teeth 1710 can be locked into
one of a plurality of positions according to the location of said
plurality of teeth 1710 relative to said lock 1706. In one
embodiment, said lock 1706 is able to lock onto one of said
plurality of teeth 1710 by rotating said key 1708 in said lock 1706
to hold said plurality of teeth 1710 in place relative to said lock
1706. Thus, in one embodiment, said locking system 1700 can be
locked in a variety of positions.
[0061] FIG. 18 illustrates a perspective front view of said locking
system 1700 locking around said pipe 100, where said pipe 100 is in
a cross section view. In one embodiment, said first arm 1702 can be
inserted into said carburetor aperture 206 and said second arm 1704
can be inserted into said inhaling aperture 204; wherein, said
locking system 1700 can be used to hold said pipe 100 closed by
locking said locking system 1700 so as to prevent said pipe 100
from being dismantled.
