Be it known that Olga Contreras, a citizen of Costa Rica, have invented new and useful improvements in a battery-operated ignition smoking pipe as described in this specification.
Various types of smoking bongs are known in the prior art. However, what is needed and what is provided here in is a battery-operated ignition smoking bong which provides a replaceable nichrome wire disposed on an inner perimeter of a bowl of the bong body, a full reservoir disposed directly below and directly adjacent to the bowl, an ignition switch disposed on a stem of a bong body which selectively activates one of the nichrome wire and amount of fuel within the fuel reservoir to combust an ignitable smoking substance, such as tobacco, disposed within the bowl, and a filter disposed between the stem and the bowl. The present device permits one-handed ignition to combust the smoking substance more easily and faster than is possible with manual ignition of a bong without the nichrome wire, the fuel reservoir and the ignition switch. In addition, the filter reduces the amount of smoke, any tar present, and fine particles which would otherwise be inhaled during combustion of the smoking substance. The filter further reduces the harshness of the smoke produced when compared to a smoking bong without the filter.
The present invention relates to smoking bong, and more particularly, to a battery-operated ignition smoking bong.
The general purpose of the present rechargeable battery-operated ignition smoking bong, described subsequently, in greater detail, is to provide a rechargeable battery-operated ignition smoking bong which has many novel features that result in a rechargeable battery-operated ignition smoking bong, which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by prior art. Either alone or in combination thereof. To accomplish this, the present rechargeable battery-operated ignition smoking bong includes a single construction bong body having a stem, a bowl, a mouthpiece extending through the stem and in fluid communication with the bowl, and an outer wall of the stem and the bowl. The bowl has a top edge, a bottom end, an interior cavity defined by the top edge, the bottom end, and the outer wall of the bowl, as well as the inner perimeter of the interior cavity. A battery-operated ignition switch is disposed within. The stem has an activation button disposed on the stem. A length of replaceable nichrome wire is removeably disposed within a continuous indentation disposed along the inner perimeter proximal the top edge. A battery, disposed within the stem, or in the proximal bottom, either way is in operational communication with the ignition switch. A fuel reservoir, disposed directly below and directly adjacent to the bowl, is configured to contain an amount of fuel, such as a lighter fluid, therein. A refill nozzle on the outer wall of the bowl adjacent the fuel reservoir, is in fluid communication with the fuel reservoir. An igniter wire is continuously disposed from the ignition switch, to the battery, and encircles the interior cavity. The igniter wire is in operational communication with the length of nichrome wire. The ignition switch is configured to activate the igniter wire and upon activation of the igniter wire, the igniter wire is configured to selectively activate the length of nichrome wire to ignite an ignitable smoking substance, such as tobacco, disposed within the interior cavity of the bowl and alternately directly ignite the amount of fuel within the fuel reservoir to combust the ignitable smoking substance disposed within the interior cavity of the bowl. The smoker, thus, has the option of igniting the smoking substance by placing the nichrome wire within the indention or by placing the amount of fuel within the fuel reservoir through the refill nozzle, followed by pressing the activation button of the ignition switch. A filter, provided to reduce the amount of smoke, any tar present, and fine particles which would otherwise be inhaled during combustion of the smoking substance and to reduce the harshness of the smoke, is transversely disposed directly between the stem and the bowl. Thus, has been broadly outlined the more important features of the present-operated ignition smoking bong so 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.
The bowl comprises of a built in battery that is rechargeable through three types of chargers. One that is predesigned to accommodate the smoking bong by holding it securely as it charges. Second, it is compatible with any micro USB power cable, thirdly compatible with its own predesigned wireless charger, as well as any wireless charger. the bong can be designed with a battery in the stem or in the bowl.

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular
A fuel reservoir 50 is disposed directly below and directly adjacent to the interior cavity 34 of the bowl 24 proximal the bottom end 30. The fuel reservoir 50 is configured to contain an amount of fuel, such as lighter fluid, therein. A refill nozzle 52 is accessibly disposed on the outer wall 27 of the bowl 24 adjacent the fuel reservoir 50. The refill nozzle 52 is in fluid communication with the fuel reservoir 50.
An igniter wire, 60 is continuously disposed from the ignition switch 40, to the battery 48, and encircles the interior cavity 34. A first portion of the igniter wire 60 is disposed in a position between the fuel reservoir 50 and the interior cavity 34. A second portion of the igniter wire 60 is disposed between the stem 22 and the interior cavity 34. The igniter wire 60 is in operational communication with the length of nichrome wire 47. The ignition switch, 40 is configured to activate the igniter wire 60. Upon activation of the igniter wire 60, the igniter wire 60 is configured to selectively activate the length of nichrome wire 47 to ignite and ignitable smoking substance, such as tobacco disposed within the interior cavity 34 of the bowl 24 and alternately directly ignite the amount of fuel within the fuel reservoir 50 to combust the ignitable smoking substance disposed within the interior cavity 34 of the bowl 24. A filter 70 is transversely disposed directly between the stem 22 and the bowl 24. The second portion 64 of the igniter wire 60 Is further disposed between the filter 70 and the interior cavity 34.
The smoker, thus, has the option of igniting the smoking substance within the interior cavity 34 by placing the nichrome wire 47 within the indentation 45 or by placing the amount of fuel within the fuel reservoir 50 through the refill nozzle 52 followed by pressing the activation button 42 of the ignition switch 40.
While the bong has been disclosed with both the fuel source and nichrome wire above, the invention can be embodied with these features individually as well. Below is disclosed in a second embodiment with only the fuel source for igniting the smoking substance and in a third embodiment only using the nichrome wire for igniting the smoking substance.
With reference to FIGS. 1A1, 2A1, 3A1, 3B and 4A1, the second embodiment of the rechargeable battery operated ignition smoking bong is disclosed. In the second embodiment, the inventive smoking bong does not include a fuel source, but instead, only includes the nichrome wire for igniting a smoking substance.
