Patent ID: 11464254

Abstract:
A smoking device which permits combustion and inhalation of smoking material without also inhaling gases from a source of combustion such as lighter. The smoking device has a main body with a lower end adapted to connect to an overall smoking system. A lower portion of the main body defines internal flow channels, while an upper portion defines a smoking chamber therein. A burn plate or disc is clamped against an inner ledge in the lower end of the smoking chamber which is enclosed by a lid having an air inlet. The smoking chamber may house a manifold member which clamps the burn plate against an inner ledge. A user places smoking material on the burn plate and closes the smoking chamber with the lid. While applying a lighter flame directed into the lateral throughbore to the underside of the burn plate, the user applies suction to the lower inhalation passageway which pulls air in through the air inlet in the lid. Combustion of the smoking material creates smoke which is ported through the smoking device to the user without pulling in any of the gases from the lighter flame.
