Patent Application
20170347698
The present invention relates generally to the field apparatuses used for the safe dispensation of compressed liquid/gas butane from a compressed liquid/gas butane can for use in mixing this liquid/gas with parts of a marijuana plant within a glass tube of the apparatus to thereby remove the THC from the marijuana plant and disposing it and the residual liquid/gasses into a capture member for further processing.
Previous attempts to dispense compressed liquid/gas butane from a compressed liquid/gas butane can for use in mixing with parts of a marijuana plant within a glass tube of the apparatus to thereby remove the THC from the marijuana plant would include holding the liquid/gas butane can in one's hand, pressing the top of the can and it's dispenser nozzle against a portion of a glass tube of the previously known butane gas can dispenser apparatus and holding the can in place while the liquid/gas butane is removed therefrom. The danger with this previous apparatus and method is that the user must remain adjacent the apparatus and hold the liquid/gas butane can in place while it is dispensing the liquid/gas butane therefrom, and as such have to breath in escaped and residual liquid/gas butane. Therefore, it became evident that an improved method and apparatus was necessary to avoid breathing in this toxic substance.
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known liquid/gas can dispensation art, the present invention provides a novel butane dispensing apparatus that includes a platform having a support column and trigger mechanism adapted to hold and press a butane liquid/gas can against a glass tube for mixing the butane liquid/gas contents with parts of a marijuana plant within the glass tube to thereby remove the THC from the marijuana plant and dispose it and the residual liquid/gasses into a capture member for further processing. The features of the invention which are believed to be novel are particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the concluding portion of the specification. These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following drawings and detailed description.
The figures which accompany the written portion of this specification illustrate embodiments and method(s) of use for the present invention, Multi-Brush & Flex-Head Paint Pole, constructed and operative according to the teachings of the present invention.
The various embodiments of the present invention will hereinafter be described in conjunction with the appended drawings.
As discussed above, embodiments of the present invention relate to a novel butane dispensing apparatus that includes a platform having a support column and trigger mechanism adapted to hold and press a butane liquid/gas can against a glass tube for mixing the butane liquid/gas contents with parts of a marijuana plant within the glass tube to thereby remove the THC from the marijuana plant and dispose it and the residual liquid/gasses into a capture member for further processing.
Referring now to the drawings
The second one of said at least two attachment members 140 and said locking member 156 of said trigger member 150 are adapted and function such that when all of said liquid/gas has exited said liquid/gas can they can be disengaged and said liquid/gas can removed from said apparatus and discarded.
The at least two attachment members 140 are formed as flexible straps having hook and loop material 142 on respective ends thereof. Further, the at least two attachment members 140 includes a third attachment member 144 adapted to be attached to a middle section of said support column 130 and releasably hold said proximal end of said cylindrical tube member 160 thereto. The third attachment member 144 can be formed as an adjustable screw bolt pipe clamp.
The elongated support column 130 can have a curved cross-section. And, the platform 120 and said elongated support column 130 can be formed from a metallic material.
The locking member 156 of said trigger member 150 can be formed as a linear ratchet mechanism 158.
The nozzle receiver portion 164 of said proximal end of said cylindrical tube member 160 includes an entrance aperture 166 through said proximal end and a retaining surface 168 in proximity to said aperture and adapted to engage said nozzle of said compressed liquid/gas can, such that when said compressed liquid/gas can is pressed there against said liquid/gas is forced to exit said compressed liquid/gas can and into said cylindrical tube member; and wherein said distal end of said cylindrical tube member 160 includes an exit aperture 169.
The cylindrical tube member 160 is formed from glass. And the capture member 170 can be formed having a bowl shape.
The compressed liquid/gas can 180 includes a cylindrical canister 181, a compressed liquid/gas retained and compressed within said canister, and a nozzle 182 attached to a top section of said canister and adapted to selectively release said compressed gas/liquid.
The embodiments of the invention described herein are exemplary and numerous modifications, variations and rearrangements can be readily envisioned to achieve substantially equivalent results, all of which are intended to be embraced within the spirit and scope of the invention. Further, the purpose of the foregoing abstract is to enable the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally, and especially the scientist, engineers and practitioners in the art who are not familiar with patent or legal terms or phraseology, to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and essence of the technical disclosure of the application.
