Method and apparatus for conical form mandrel constructed from cylindrical blank

A kit for creating a product for smoking tobacco and other smokable substances, comprising:

• (a) a first hollow cone having
• a first hollow cone longitudinal axis,
• a first end
• defining a larger first cone opening perimeter with diameter, and
• a second end
• defining a smaller first cone opening perimeter with diameter,
• whereby
• the diameter of the larger first cone opening perimeter is greater than
• the diameter of the smaller first cone opening perimeter,
• whereby
• a line spanning between the larger and smaller
• first cone opening perimeters
• has a first conical slope and length;
• and
• a first cone interior,
• the first cone interior being defined by a space between
• the larger first cone opening perimeter and
• the smaller first cone opening perimeter,
• wherein, the first hollow cone is comprised of
• smokable materials;
• (b) a first conical support being constructed from a starting cylindrical blank, the starting cylindrical blank including:
• (i) a first circular end and a second circular end, and a length between the first and circular second ends,
• (ii) a cylindrical wall spanning between the first and second circular ends having a longitudinal axis,
• (iii) the first and second circular ends respectively having an initial first diameter and an initial second diameter, wherein the initial first diameter is substantially the same as the initial second diameter;
• (iv) a separation in the cylindrical wall, the separation spanning from the first end of the first conical support to a separation end point between the first and second circular ends, which said separation end point is located closer to the second circular end compared to the first circular end, with the separation end point being spaced apart from the second circular end, and further the separation having first and second separation edges;
• (v) wherein the separation is used to reduce the size of the diameter of the first circular end compared to the diameter of the second circular end, by overlapping the first and second separation edges;
• (vi) wherein the reduction of the diameter of the first circular end causing the first conical support to have a first support slope and length along a line spanning between the first circular end and said separation end point, with the first conical support having a second support slope along a line spanning between the second circular end and said separation end point, with the first support slope being greater in absolute value than the second support slope;
• (c) the first conical support being placed into the first cone interior, wherein
• the first conical slope is about the same as the first support slope, and
• the first conical support tending to maintain the first hollow cone in a conical shape;
• and
• (d) the first hollow cone with the supporting first conical support being packaged for sale with the interior of the first hollow cone not being filled with a smokable filler material.
