The disclosure relates to dab rig devices and more particularly pertains to a new dab rig device for facilitating a concentrated oil to drip in a controlled fashion into a vaporizing chamber of a dab rig. The device includes a funnel that has an air slot integrated into the funnel to facilitate air to pass between the funnel and the vaporizing chamber when the funnel is inserted into the vaporizing chamber. The funnel is comprised of a thermally conductive material to melt the concentrated oil when the vaporizing chamber heats the funnel.
The prior art relates to dab rig devices including a variety of smoking pipes that each has structural elements to enhance smoking a combustible material in a smoking pipe. In no instance does the prior art disclose a funnel that is comprised of a thermally conductive material to facilitate the funnel to melt a concentrated oil in the funnel when the funnel is inserted into the vaporizing chamber and which has an air slot to facilitate air to pass between the funnel and a vaporizing chamber of a dab rig and which
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a funnel that is comprised of a fluid impermeable material thereby facilitating the funnel to contain a concentrated oil for smoking. The funnel can be inserted into a vaporizing chamber of a dab rig. The funnel is comprised of a thermally conductive material to melt the concentrated oil when the funnel is inserted into the vaporizing chamber when the vaporizing chamber has been pre-heated. An air slot is integrated into the funnel and the air slot is recessed into the funnel. In this way the air slot facilitates air to pass between the funnel and the vaporizing chamber when the funnel is inserted into the vaporizing chamber.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
The funnel 12 has a top end 24, a bottom end 26 and an outer wall 28 extending between the top end 24 and the bottom end 26. The outer wall 28 tapers inwardly between the top end 24 and the bottom end 26 such that the bottom end 26 can be inserted into the vaporizing chamber 16 having the outer wall 28 abutting a bounding surface 30 of an opening 32 into the vaporizing chamber 16. The outer wall 28 has a first angled portion 34 angling inwardly toward a center of the funnel 12 and the first angled portion 34 extends between the top end 24 and the bottom end 26. The outer wall 28 has a second angled portion 36 angling inwardly toward the center of the funnel 12 and the second angled portion 36 extends between the top end 24 and the bottom end 26.
The second angled portion 36 intersects with the first angled portion 34 such that the first angled portion 34 and the second angled portion 36 defines the air slot 22. The first angled portion 34 has a first edge 38 intersecting with the outer wall 28 and the second angled portion 36 has a second edge 40 intersecting with the outer wall 28. The first angled portion 34 narrows between the first edge 38 and an intersection 41 between the second angled portion 36 along an axis extending between the top end 24 and the bottom end 26. Additionally, the second angled portion 36 narrows between the second edge 40 and the intersection between the first angled portion 34 along the axis extending between the top end 24 and the bottom end 26.
The funnel 12 may have a length of approximately 2.5 cm and the top end 24 of the funnel 12 may have a diameter of approximately 2.5 cm and the bottom end 26 may have a diameter of approximately 6.5 mm. In an alternative embodiment 42 as shown in
In use, a preferred amount of the concentrated oil 14 is loaded into the funnel 12 and the vaporizing chamber 16 is pre-heated with a torch or other source of flame. The bottom end 26 of the funnel 12 is inserted into the opening 32 in the vaporizing chamber 16 and the vaporizing chamber 16 heats the funnel 12. The funnel 12 subsequently melts the concentrated oil 14 to facilitate the concentrated oil 14 to drip from the bottom end 26 of the funnel 12 into the vaporizing chamber 16. In this way the concentrated oil 14 drips in a controlled fashion into the vaporizing chamber 16 to enhance the combustion of the concentrated oil 14. Additionally, the air slot 22 facilitates air to pass between the funnel 12 and the vaporizing chamber 16 to facilitate the user 20 to inhale through the dab rig 18 for inhaling the combustion vapors of the concentrated oil 14. The concentrated oil 14 congeals in the funnel 12 when the temperature of the vaporizing chamber 16 falls below the melting point of the concentrated oil 14 thereby preserving the concentrated oil 14 for future smoking.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
