Description
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
Field of Invention
[0001] The present disclosure generally relates to a smoking
apparatus, and more particularly to a device for loading smoking
substances into empty pre-rolled paper cone apparatuses, cigarettes
or other similar smoking material.
Description of Related Art
[0002] Smoking substances such as tobacco and cannabis are often
packaged for consumption in many ways. These methods include using
rolling papers, empty pre-rolled cones/papers, bongs etc. The
concept of packaging smoking substances into empty pre-rolled cones
or cigarettes isn't new. However, the process of loading such
smoking substances into the pre-rolled devices can very cumbersome,
as other conventional materials do not provide full support when
loading smoking substances into pre-rolled smoking cones/similar
materials. Hence, a consumer will have to load the smoking
substance through the small, open end of the pre-rolled smoking
cone/cigarette.
[0003] Also, when using a packing condenser (device for packing
smoking material into pre-rolled papers) to load smoking substances
into pre-rolled cones or empty cigarettes, the force of the
condenser weakens and destabilizes the paper material of the cone
due to lack of wall support. A user cannot load such
cones/cigarettes "on the go", making it time consuming to load a
smoking cone/cigarette.
[0004] Due to the above mentioned problems, it is desirable to have
a device that will be capable of providing an effective solution
for loading smoking substances into empty smoking cones and
cigarettes. The present invention therefore, aims to overcome the
shortcomings described above by providing a novel system that
allows for faster, cleaner, stable and stationary or "on the go"
loading for single pre-rolled cones, cigarettes and other smoking
materials. Hence, allowing the consumer to enjoy a convenient,
stress-free smoking experience.
SUMMARY
[0005] The following summary discloses all the features and
functions of the present invention. By considering the whole
specification, claims, drawings, and as well as the abstract, one
can easily get a full understanding of the components of the
invention and how it functions.
[0006] In the present invention, a device for loading smoking
substances into empty pre-rolled apparatuses such as pre-rolled
smoking cones, cigarettes or other similar devices is disclosed.
The invention consists of a funnel accessory for allowing guided
loading of smoking substances, a clip attachment for holding empty
pre-rolled smoking cones or cigarettes, and a spatula/condenser for
packing smoking substances into empty pre-rolled smoking cones or
cigarettes.
[0007] The funnel accessory consists of one smaller open end to fit
into an empty smoking cone or cigarette. The funnel also has a
larger opposite open end through which smoking substances can be
loaded into the empty smoking cone or cigarette. The larger open
end of the funnel may come in a square shape, square shape with
rounded corners or cylindrical shape. The square shaped versions of
the funnel are both supported by four base walls, while the
cylindrical shaped version is supported by a curved wall. The
funnel further consists of a middle cylinder which connects the
opposing ends of the funnel.
[0008] The clip attachment is a piece that is used to provide
stability and hold the empty pre-rolled smoking cone or cigarette
in place while smoking substance is being packed in.
[0009] The spatula/condenser is an accessory apparatus that is used
in packing smoking substances into the pre-rolled smoking cone or
cigarette through the funnel. It consists of a long cylindrical or
other shaped piece, having a flat rectangular-shaped flap attached
to one end for easy packing of smoking substances into empty
pre-rolled cones/cigarettes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
[0017] Detailed descriptions of the present invention, as
illustrated in FIG. 1-7 of the drawings are provided below as
follows:
[0018] In FIG. 1, the funnel accessory of the present invention is
disclosed according to the first embodiment. The funnel accessory
facilitates the guided loading of smoking substances into an empty
smoking cone/cigarette, and it consists of one larger open end 10,
one smaller open end 14 and a middle cylinder 13. The smaller open
end 14 is opposite the larger open end 10, while the larger open
end is supported by four base walls 11 having square corners. This
embodiment also consists of a clip attachment 12 for holding an
empty pre-rolled smoking cone or cigarette during the process of
loading a smoking substance. The shape in broken lines 15 is a
smoking cone, but it is not part of the claimed invention as it is
provided for illustration purposes.
[0019] In FIG. 2, the funnel accessory 10 of the present invention
is disclosed according to the second embodiment. Just like in the
first embodiment, it allows guided loading of smoking substances
into empty smoking cones/cigarettes. It consists of one larger open
end 10, one smaller open end 14 and a middle cylinder 13. The
smaller open end 14 is opposite the larger open end 10, while the
larger open end is also supported by four base walls 11; however,
it has curved corners. It also has a clip attachment 12 to keep the
smoking cone in place during loading. The shape in broken lines 15
represents a smoking cone, but it is not part of the claimed
invention as it is provided for illustration purposes.
[0020] In FIG. 3, the funnel accessory 10 of the present invention
is disclosed according to the third embodiment. Like the first and
second embodiments, this version allows guided loading of smoking
substances into empty smoking cones/cigarettes or other similar
material. It comprises one bigger open end 10, one smaller open end
14 and a middle cylinder 13. The smaller open end 14 is opposite
the larger open end 10, while the larger open end is supported by a
curved base wall 11. The invention also has a clip attachment 12 to
help keep the smoking cone in place during loading. The shape in
broken lines 15 represents a smoking cone, but it is not part of
the claimed invention as it is provided for illustration purposes
only.
[0021] In FIG. 4, the funnel accessory 10 of the side view of the
present invention is disclosed. 10 is the larger open end while 14
is the smaller open end. It further consists of a middle cylinder
13. The smaller open end 14 is opposite the larger open end 10,
while the larger open end is also supported by base walls 11. The
clip attachment 12 which keeps the smoking cone in place during
loading, is also disclosed. The shape in broken lines 15,
represents a smoking cone, but it is not part of the claimed
invention as it is provided for illustration purposes.
[0022] In FIG. 5, the spatula (also known as condenser) used for
packing smoking substances into empty pre-rolled smoking cones,
cigarettes or other similar smoking materials is disclosed. It
consists of a handle 16, and an extended flap 17 for packing
smoking substances into empty smoking cones or cigarettes.
[0023] FIG. 6 shows a demonstration of the present invention being
utilized. A smoking substance is being packed into a smoking cone
with the aid of the spatula/condenser and the clip holding the cone
in place.
[0024] FIG. 7 also shows the present invention in use. The bottom
of the spatula handle is being used to push the smoking substance
into the cone.
HOW THE INVENTION IS MADE AND USED
[0025] The funnel loading device is the primary piece of the
invention. The funnel, clip, and the spatula/condenser can be made
using materials such as, but not limited to; silicone, metal,
plastic, glass, wood, cardboard, etc.
[0026] The funnel is inserted at the smaller end into an empty
smoking cone or cigarette. Smoking material is then packed using
the flat end of the spatula into the empty cone/cigarette with the
clip attachment holding the cone in place, and providing grip and
stability. When that is done, the bottom end of the spatula handle
is used to push the smoking substance neatly into the cone before
it is tied and ignited.
